DISPLAY UNDEFINE TABLES IN SQL PLUS

i am using Oracle 10g
for last 1 week i seen unrecognized table names in my user while i issue following command
SQL > select * from tab;
table name like ......BIN$ and many other characters after it...
i cannot drop that table also
from DBA studio above table can't view but from SQL PLUS it display as table
what i have to do to drop such tables ? please give advice

These are recyclebin tables. A normal 'drop table' command puts a table into the recyclebin, you can get it back through 'flashback drop' command. Use 'purge user_recyclebin' to delete the tables finally.

Displaying Chinese characters in SQL*Plus

DB version: 11.2
OS Version : AIX 6.1

To display chinese characters in SQL*Plus, I did the following:
$ export LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8
$ export LC_ALL=zh_CN.GB2312
$ export NLS_LANG="SIMPLIFIED CHINESE_CHINA.ZHS16GBK"

²Ý ----------------------------------------> Getting a junk character instead of chinese If I was using putty, are the above steps enough to get chinese characters displayed ?
Our ssh client is Tectia (not putty).
According the below ML Note, the SSH client has to configured correctly to use globalization features.
+The correct NLS_LANG setting in Unix Environments [ID 264157.1]+
Googling "Tectia + Chinese" didn't return useful results

I understand that you are talking about Windows SSH Client.
For Putty, you should set:
$ export LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8
$ export LC_ALL=zh_CN.UTF-8
$ export NLS_LANG="SIMPLIFIED CHINESE_CHINA.AL32UTF8"
and configure Putty in Window->Translation to use UTF-8.
There is nothing about this subject on Tectia website and in their manuals, so my best guess is that the client requires Windows code page to work correctly. In such case you need to set your Windows system default locale (locale for non-Unicode programs) to Chinese and use the following settings on the server:
$ export LANG=zh_CN.GBK
$ export LC_ALL=zh_CN.GBK
$ export NLS_LANG="SIMPLIFIED CHINESE_CHINA.ZHS16GBK"
Verify with 'locale -a' that the setting zh_CN.GBK is supported on your system.

Viewing tables in sql plus

hai friends.,
i created a java database pgm using jdbc:odbc connectivity, that creates a table in the database and i inserted some records in that table. how can i view those table and records in the sql plus. what commands are used to view those table
regards.,
sekar

Hi sekar,
Interesting, you're able to do a 'CREATE TABLE bla...' but are not familiar with 'SELECT'? I would suggest to read some basic stuff about SQL statements. What will you do when the next task is: "Hey, I need a pgm to change these values in the table!"?
Regards,

Populating table using SQL*Plus

Hi,
I am trying to populate my destination table from the source using SQL*Plus. I keep get error message. The source table has 6 columns and the destination table has 11 columns. Data_type are different in both table. The following is my script and the output of the script:
insert into bim_expense_element
(select table_type_id, table_code_desc,
table_value_4, table_value_6,
table_description_1 | | table_description_2
from edim_expense_element)
SQL> /
insert into bim_expense_element
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00947: not enough values
Please let me know what I did wrong. Thanks.
Esther

Hi Esther,
You need to tell to Oracle what columns to fill in your insert like this:
insert into bim_expense_element(bim_type_id, bim_code_desc, bim_table_value4, bim_table_value6, bim_description)
select table_type_id, table_code_desc,
table_value_4, table_value_6,
table_description_1 | | table_description_2
from edim_expense_element
If the fields aren't of the same type you'll need to convert.

Is there some time setting in sql*plus or Oracle9i

Hi guys,
I just run the following simple query in sql*plus in oracle 9i:
select * from pers ;
The table is around 190k rows. But it always stops running after 28-30minutes. No error message displayed and the whole sql*plus just hang on there.... The only thing I can do is to restart the sql*plus.
I got this problem when I run some other query, so I use this simple query just to test if it will stop after running 30m. Now it does. I'm thinking there is some setting in sql*plus or ORACL9i I need to do. Could someone help me to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance,

2. Windows Language is german
I should be possible to insert the chinese characters into the table from the SQL*Plus (sqlplusw.exe) and SQL*Plus should be able to show the chinese characters from that table.
Is there any Step-By-Step Tutorial for the changes, that I should provide?
Can anybody help me?
Thanks

I have a table CHINESE with one column STRING
NVARCHAR2(250). There I will store the chinese
character and display the content in SQL*Plus.
Into the table I will insert with SQL*Plus with
INSERT Statement.
To store the character you could use e.g.
insert unistr(<unicode value expression>) into table But Sql*Plus does not support Unicode display. Use SQL Developer instead for displaying your table data.
You could also use select dump(column,1016) from table to verify that character data is correctly converted and stored.
Windows Codepage is 1252.
What do you mean under "what is your corresponding
NLS_LANG client char set setting" ?With acp 1252, your NLS_LANG should contain .WE8MSWIN1252 - this tells Oracle your acp setting.
Note however that windows-1252 does not define any Chinese characters.
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/sbcs/1252.mspx
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/globalization/htdocs/nls_lang%20faq.htm
You can read more about Unicode string literals in Oracle in chapter 7 Programming with Unicode, Globalization Support guide in 10.2. Also you probably should read about NCHAR literal replacement (available only in 10.2 and above).

How to insert data which contains '&' from SQL*Plus without asking prompt

Hi,
I want to insert data in table from SQL*Plus but data value contains '&' as given in below example(insert script).
There are 10000 rows. When I load from SQL*Plus it is asking for 'value for :P'.
I dont want to replace '&' with 'and' also there should not be prompt for asking value for :P.
Example
Insert into CS_Tracker (TrackId,FeedBack) values ('ARARGE034678','S&P');
Insert into CS_Tracker (TrackId,FeedBack) values ('ARARGE034676','S&F');
Insert into CS_Tracker (TrackId,FeedBack) values ('ARARGE034677','A&P');
Can anyone help me in above issue.
Thanking in Advance

Cannot see table in sql developer or sql plus

I have created a record in application designer. I have then built the table. I can close the record and then find it again in application designer. But if I go to sql plus or sql developer, I cannot see it. Am I missing a step?

You probably can see all the tables of sysadm because someone else give you proper grant for that on existing sysadm's objects.
For the new or modified object (drop+create) you should :
1. connect as sysadm and run
grant select on new_table_name to your_own_user;2. connect with your own user and run
create synonym new_table_name for sysadm.new_table_name;Then you'll be able to query that table without using schema name alias.
Some admin have also a ddl trigger to make it automatically.
You could also work through a role and public synonym if more than one user needs to access sysadm's objects.

XML display in SQL*Plus

Hi,
I have a data stored in table in XML format in a clob column. When I query the table containing the XML data only part of the XML is shown in SQL*Plus. Is there anyway that I can view the full XML data in SQL* Plus prompt?
Thanks,
Milton.

The SET LOBOFFSET, SET LONG and SET LONGCHUNKSIZE values affect how SQL*Plus fetches from CLOBs.
