Encoding bcp

I.am using Oracle Migration workbench to migrate data from a SQL Server 2000 to Oracle 8.1.7
When I run bcp_extract.bat to extract data from SQL Server in database I have "Andrés" and in the Dat file i get "Andrs"
Could you help me to resolve this problem of encoding
Thanks, Sebastian

Normally bcp the Microsoft utility used to extract the data from SQL Server respects the codepage / character set of the SQL Server database. Maybe there is some environment setting affecting the bcp utility?
I would look into the SQL Server docs, and see if there is a command option, I think it is -C that would allow you to specify a code page, so that the data can be extracted correctly.

Convert from ISO 8859-1 encoding to UTF-8

Hi
My Os name is 'SunOS ut51109 5.10 Generic_144500-19 sun4v sparc SUNW,T5440'.
I want to change the encoding of the existing .bcp file from ISO 8859-1 to UTF-8 with out using any temp files as these .bcp file will be pointed by an external table.
here is the command I issued in the script(ksh file)
iconv -f ISO8859-1 -t UTF-8 file1.bcp > file1.bcp
After the script got executed file1 is empty(showing 0 bytes).
Please correct me or let me know the syntax to be followed to write the data into the same file in UTF-8 format.
Thanks
kartheek

You cannot do conversion from ISO 8859-1 to UTF-8 in-place because the UTF-8 version will generally be longer (unless you convert a pure ASCII file, which does not need conversion in the first place). Therefore, you would have to overwrite what you have not read yet. Instead, convert to a new file with a temporary name, drop the original and rename the temporary back to original. This is not that complicated.
If the problem is that you want to overwrite a file already open by the database, then rename the incoming file first and then convert copying to the target.

BCP queryout -w generating wrong CSV File

I'm trying to generate a CSV file with BCP. My problem is that I have some NVARCHAR columns so I must use the parameter -w for the bcp utility. So, the CSV file generated is opening in a single column in EXCEL. If I create a new text file copy the content
of the CSV generated and paste in the new file and then change its type to CSV it works and open the content spread in different columns. Has someone seen it before? Thanks
SET @File = 'MyQuery.csv'
set @SQL = 'bcp "SELECT FirstName, LastName, DwellingName FROM Table" queryout "' + + '" -w -t "," -T -S '+ convert(varchar,@@ServerName)
exec master..xp_cmdshell @SQL

Hi,
I agree with you. It seems the text was attached with some text attribute when generated by BCP. When I copy the content to Notepad, I notice each rows were enclosed in double quotes. Image:
The double quotes make Excel think it is a unit. If I remove the double quotes and import the data to Excel, it will copy the text to separate columns.
1. On the Data tab, in the Get External Data group, click From Text. And follow the instructions in the
Text Import Wizard.
2. Under Original data type, choose Delimited, click Next.
3. Select Tab. I can review the data in the bottom of the dialog box. Then, Next.
Another option is to query the results to file and save it as csv file. Use the Text Import Wizard to import the csv file into Excel. Select Space option in the step 3.
Thanks.

Hi Tracy,
I've found a solution for my problem:
I've used the -CACP to generate the CSV file ANSI Encoded and it works!!!
Now my command looks like:
SET @File = 'MyQuery.csv'
set @SQL = 'bcp "SELECT FirstName, LastName, DwellingName FROM Table" queryout "' + + '" -c -CACP -t "," -T -S '+ convert(varchar,@@ServerName)
exec master..xp_cmdshell @SQL

ERROR LOADING bcp -w option generated data files

Hi,
I have to migrate data from SQL Server to Oracle.
The unload_script is this:
bcp "CLEPSIDRA.dbo.InversionesAceptadas" out "[CLEPSIDRA].[dbo].[InversionesAceptadas].dat" -q -c -t "<EOFD>" -r "<EORD>" -Usa -Pas -STIEPO
When I execute the load script, the data is loaded ok.
But I have a field that contains character like á,é,ñ,...so I changed my unload script to:
bcp "CLEPSIDRA.dbo.InversionesAceptadas" out "[CLEPSIDRA].[dbo].[InversionesAceptadas].dat" -q -w -t "<EOFD>" -r "<EORD>" -Usa -Pas -STIEPO
If I execute the new unload_script, the data file generated is ok, with the characters like á,é,ñ...
But when I trying to execute the load script, I have errors like 'field is not a valid number..'...
But if I open the first (-c option generated) data file and replace it's content with the content of the second (-w option generated) data file and save it, the load script works ok!
How can I solve this?
Thanks

Hi user616069,
There is a preference in SQLDeveloper for encoding.
Tools->Preferences->Environment->Encoding
Do you have a reproducible test case you can give us a URL to, including for example a single fictional record?

SF & MS SQL Integration using MS SQL BCP connector

Hi
I am trying to integrate SF with MS SQL using MS SQL BCP connector provided in Boomi, but getting the following error:
Unable to store data, error copying stream.; Caused by: com.ctc.wstx.exc.WstxIOException: Invalid null character in text to output; Caused by: Invalid null character in text to output
I think this is an issue iwth the encoding formats of MS SQL, Atom and the connector profile. The atom's & connector profile's encoding has been changed to UTF-8 and still face the same issue.
Has anyone faced this before? Am i missing something?

UTF16 equivalent of Control A as delimiter in BCP

Hi,
I'm creating data extract using BCP which will be consumed by Hive. Hive by default understands Control A (0x01) as delimiter. When I create bcp output in -c mode and provide 0x01 as delimiter and try opening it, I can read the output file in notepad.
However when I use wide character format in bcp (-w option), and provide 0x01 as delimiter, the file shows me garbled data when I open it in notepad. Hive can not consume the data as well.
My source data has Unicode characters and so I need to use -w switch in queryout. How can I let it have Control A as delimiter? I tried with the UTF 16 equivalent (0X0001) but that does not seem to work.

Hi,
The bcp utility bulk copies data between an instance of Microsoft SQL Server and a data file in a user-specified format. According to your description, you want to use bcp to export data to Hive file, In Hive file, by default Control A (0x01) can as a delimiter.
However, if you use –w performs the bulk copy operation using Unicode characters, by default,
it uses nchar as the storage type, no prefixes, \t (tab character) as the field separator, and \n (newline character) as the row terminator. If you want to change field terminator, you can use –t
switch to specify the field terminator for all the fields except the last field in the row and using the
-rswitch to specify a row terminator.
By default, I recommend you use the field terminator with character values not greater than 127 or less than 32 for avoiding character encoding problems between Hive file and bcp.
There is detail about characters supported as terminator. You can review it.

Filename in Media Encoder CC

Hello there ;-)
In After Effect CC u can render picture sequences using a filname like: "Project_[#####].jpg". The [#####] is replaced by the framenumber when rendering. When i render a picture sequenc in Media Encoder CC i Don´t have that oportunity. It allways starts with a Number like 000001. My Question - is it possible to change that in the encoder? So that i have the Frame number in the filename like in After Effect CC? If yes - how? I haven´t find anything!
THANX for your help!

I have this issue too. It makes After effects impossible to use with media encoder. What we want is the actual frame number from After effects
Example
I have a 5000 frame AE export.
I can export the lot from AME
Render0000.png - Render5000.png
Client makes a change to Frames 4500-5000
Try and render Work area to AME
Result = Render0001.png - Render0499.png
The only way to keep file numbers is to use AE's render Queue which seem to be way slower than AME?

Media Encoder CC mpeg2 Question

Basically what the title says. Where exactly is the option to format a video into an mpeg2 file? I've been Googling this to death. I know I've seen some people say they had it, then it disappeared. But I literally just downloaded Media Encoder and its nowhere to be found. Even under the DVD and Blue-ray section, the only options are for Blue-ray. I need to burn a wedding video onto a DVD. Is there something special you have to do to get this done? Are there limits on the free trial version that don't allow mpeg2 downloads? Help!

Are you using AME CC 2014? MPEG2 is included in AME under more strict license than other formats and is only activated only if you have Premiere Pro CC 2014, AfterEffects CC 2014 or Prelude CC 2014. If you are using them under a free trial, MPEG2 becomes unavailable after a trial period expires. After a trial has been expired, AME CC 2014 can be used extra 30 more days, but without MPEG2.
If you already used up a trial period, you can either 1) install one of three apps I mentioned earlier that you haven't installed before and activate it as a trial or 2) purchase a subscription for Creative Cloud. #1 option allows you to use MPEG2 30 more days. With #2 option, you can use MPEG2 as long as you keep your subscription active. I hope this helps.

Media Encoder CC won't launch

I've been succesfully working with media encoder for sometime now but it won't start for some reason. Using Mac OS 10.6.8, icore 7 proc, 16gb RAM, Encoder CC 6.0.2 what's causing this?

Thanks, It started working after I logged into my Adobe account. Curious if that had anything to do with it. I also tried a few options (similar to this) I found in the forum which didn't help until I restarted. Not sure which one did it but it's all good now. Thanks!

Media Encoder CC won't render Magic Bullet Denoiser II

Hello there,
i've got the following Problem: I am having Premiere CC and used the Red Giant Plug-In Denoiser II on my last project, when i import this project to the Media Encoder and select Quicktime for output, the Media Encoder won't render the clip with this Plug-In. i always get the original files out, without the denoiser. Original footage from in premiere is 2,5k CinemaDNG RAW from the Black Magic Cinema Camera.
thx

I feel like there was a recent update to the RG plugins (inside of the last 30 or so days.) Are they up to date?
