Field with 4000 bytes

Hi,
There are some fields coming from legacy sytem with 4000 bytes of char.
Can anyone please suggest any thing how to convert them in to BI system.
Thanks in advance

Hi Pallavi,
our Bw system Infoobject accept maximem 60 chars only... so, try to split that object(from source level ) in to multiple objects.. and crete infoobjects in bw system and after that concatenate all these objects ... finally reporting point of view you can see as a single object..
thanks

External table varchar2(4000 byte) field storing 255 bytes only

Hi all,
wondering if someone can tell me what im missing here.
I have an external table with a column defined as varchar2(4000 byte). the file has a row in it with 255 characters (all number 2's for simplicity). when i query the table all is well. if i add 1 more 2 to the string (256 chars) it fails. im sure its something stupidly simple but what am i missing? shouldnt it query fine until 4000 chars?
thanks,

Crystal XI R2 exporting issues with double-byte character sets

NOTE: I have also posted this in the Business Objects General section with no resolution, so I figured I would try this forum as well.
We are using Crystal Reports XI Release 2 (version 11.5.0.313).
We have an application that can be run using multiple cultures/languages, chosen at login time. We have discovered an issue when exporting a Crystal report from our application while using a double-byte character set (Korean, Japanese).
The original text when viewed through our application in the Crystal preview window looks correct:
性能著概要
When exported to Microsoft Word, it also looks correct. However, when we export to PDF or even RPT, the characters are not being converted. The double-byte characters are rendered as boxes instead. It seems that the PDF and RPT exports are somehow not making use of the linked fonts Windows provides for double-byte character sets. This same behavior is exhibited when exporting a PDF from the Crystal report designer environment. We are using Tahoma, a TrueType font, in our report.
I did discover some new behavior that may or may not have any bearing on this issue. When a text field containing double-byte characters is just sitting on the report in the report designer, the box characters are displayed where the Korean characters should be. However, when I double click on the text field to edit the text, the Korean characters suddenly appear, replacing the boxes. And when I exit edit mode of the text field, the boxes are back. And they remain this way when exported, whether from inside the design environment or outside it.
Has anyone seen this behavior? Is SAP/Business Objects/Crystal aware of this? Is there a fix available? Any insights would be welcomed.
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Jef
I searched on the forums and got the following information:
1) If font linking is enabled on your device, you can examine the registry by enumerating the subkeys of the registry key at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINEu2013\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontLink\SystemLink to determine the mappings of linked fonts to base fonts. You can add links by using Regedit to create additional subkeys. Once you have located the registry key that has just been mentioned, from the Edit menu, Highlight the font face name of the font you want to link to and then from the Edit menu, click Modify. On a new line in the dialog field "Value data" of the Edit Multi-String dialog box, enter "path and file to link to," "face name of the font to link".u201D
2) "Fonts in general, especially TrueType and OpenType, are u201CUnicodeu201D.
Since you are using a 'true type' font, it may be an Unicode type already.However,if Bud's suggestion works then nothing better than that.
Also, could you please check the output from crystal designer with different version of pdf than the current one?
Meanwhile, I will look out for any additional/suitable information on this issue.

How to insert more than 4000 bytes in BLOB column

Hi all,
My oracle version is Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0.
I have checked in google and in this forum also, but did not find the answer.
When inserting into less than 4000 bytes, it is inserting without any issues. If i am inserting more than that, it is throwing
error like this ORA-01460: unimplemented or unreasonable conversion requested.
Can anybody guide me how to do this or link.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,

How to display text in item 4000 bytes in size

Hi,
I have a table with CLOB column and I am fetching this data and displaying it in page item. But the limitation with page item is the size, it can't hold more that 4000 bytes. But I have some rows in the table with more than 64K bytes.
Alternatively If I create PL/SQL dynamic content region with htp.p, it can hold upto 32K bytes as varchar2 support only this limit.
What will be the solution if I want to display that data on the page?
Thnx
-Smith

Smith
Try this
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE buffer_print(p_text IN CLOB) IS
BEGIN
    FOR i IN 1..CEIL((LENGTH(p_text))/10)
    LOOP
      htp.prn(SUBSTR(p_text,(i-1)*10+1,10));
    END LOOP;

Size for XMLType only 4000 Bytes???

Hello,
it seems, that the XMLType can only store up to 4000 bytes of
data.
When I enter a document larger than 4000 bytes the end is
truncated and the "extract"-method doesn't work anymore.
I have to store sizes of about 30-50 Kilobytes.
So, is there a way to set the size of the XMLType?
Has anyone else this problem?
TIA
Alex

Hello,
First, I want to thank you for helping me.
So, I've tried to create my table without the schema and the pb is still the same.
The index I create is a context index.
I create my table with the following query:
create table artefact(numArt number, art XMLType)
xmltype column art XMLSCHEMA "http://www.oracle.com/artefact.xsd" element "exportList";
CREATE SEQUENCE numArt START WITH 1 INCREMENT BY 1 NOMAXVALUE NOCYCLE CACHE 2;
create index ind on artefact(art)
indextype is ctxsys.context;
My schema seems to be Ok because it is validate by XMLSpy and when I use "little" data, everything is OK.
Here is the way I register my schema:
begin
 dbms_xmlschema.deleteSchema('http://www.oracle.com/artefact.xsd',4);
end;
declare
doc varchar2(10000) := '
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xdb="http://xmlns.oracle.com/xdb">
 <xsd:element name="exportList" type="TypeExportList"/>
 <xsd:complexType name = "TypeExportList">
 <xsd:sequence>
 <xsd:element name = "request" type="TypeRequest"/>
 </xsd:sequence>
 </xsd:complexType>
 <xsd:complexType name="TypeRequest">
 <xsd:sequence>
 <xsd:element name="artifact" type="TypeArtefact"/>

 <xsd:attribute name = "cmpa" type = "xsd:string" use="required"/>
 <xsd:attribute name = "command" type = "xsd:string" use="required"/>
 <xsd:attribute name="readOnly" type = "xsd:string" use="required"/>
 </xsd:complexType>
 <xsd:complexType name="TypeArtefact">
 <xsd:sequence>
 <xsd:element name= "object" type = "TypeObject"/>

 <xsd:attribute name = "projectName" type="xsd:string" use="required"/>
 </xsd:complexType>
 <xsd:complexType name="TypeObject">
 <xsd:attribute name = "objectName" type = "xsd:string" use="required"/>

 </xsd:complexType>
</xsd:schema>'
begin
dbms_xmlschema.registerSchema('http://www.oracle.com/artefact.xsd',doc);
end;
Then, I insert the value as a clob (because the XML docs makes more than 4000 characters).
And then I search it with the query:
select numArt from artefact a
where contains(a.art,'test inpath(exportList/request/keyword/@word)')>0;
And if the attribute word makes more than 4000 characters, the word test is not found...

Cannot insert varchar2 4000 bytes correctly in asp

I tried to insert 4000 bytes into a filed of varchar2 type
in an ASP page using bind variables.
After inserting, I cannot fetch the column correctly. Result was only 2000 bytes.
In sqlplus I verified that the inserted data was 4000 bytes but a wrong character at 2001 th byte.
I use oracle 8.1.6.
This problem is not occurring in JSP.
Thanks...

Have you solved your problem yet?
I think you are experiencing the auto-magical characterset conversions in Windows applications.
SQL*Plus is still using those non-Unicode Win APIs; on the contrary, your C# application is very probably using the Unicode Win APIs. That means, no matter how you input (Big5 ones, unicode ones, cut-and-paste, .... ), SQL*Plus receives the characters in Big5 form and your C# application receives them in Unicode form. Windows does all the conversions transparently.
In the SQL*Plus case, the HKSCS characters are in their Big5 UDA/VDA codes. Since both your server and client have NLS_LANG set as ZHT16MSWIN950, these HKSCS Big5 codes are stored in your database intact w/o any conversion. When these characters are displayed, no matter in SQL*Plus or your C# application, they are retrieved in Big5 form and passed to Windows for display. Hence, there is no problem.
However, when you input these HKSCS characters through your C# application, they are received in Unicode form. I believe that your application is storing these Unicode characters in DB directly and, therefore, they must be converted to "MSWIN950" form by some Oracle components who lacks the full conversion table of Windows. Naturally, HKSCS characters become "??".
I am not familiar with C# and Windows APIs so I dunno the exact way to solve the problem. Still, the rule-of-thumb is to let Windows does the character set conversions and ensure that the converted data are stored in Oracle w/o further conversions. I think your C# applications should convert the text data from Unicode to Big5 (under Windows) and then save the Big5 data to the ZHT16MSWIN950 database in Big5 context. This will probably solve your problem.

Difference between varchar2(4000 byte) & varchar2(4000 char

Hi,
My existing database NLS parameters as follows
CHARACTER SET US7ASCII
NATIONAL CHARACTER SET AL16UTF16
created a test database to support globalization, I changed as follows
CHARACTER SET UTF8
NATIONAL CHARACTER SET UTF8
some of the table column datatypes are varchar2(4000)
I would like to know what is difference between VARCHAR2(4000 BYTE) and VARCHAR2(4000 CHAR).
Thanks

Indeed, VARCHAR2(x BYTE) means that the column will hold as much characters as will fit into x bytes. Depending on the character set and particular characters this may be x or less characters.
For example, a VARCHAR2(20 BYTE) column in an AL32UTF8 database can hold 20 characters from the ASCII range, 10 Latin letters with umlaut, 10 Cyryllic, 10 Hebrew, or 10 Arabic letters (2 bytes per character), or 6 Chinese, Japanese, Korean, or Devanagari (Indic) characters. Or a mixture of these characters of any total length up to 20 bytes.
VARCHAR2(x CHAR) means that the column will hold x characters but not more than can fit into 4000 bytes. Internally, Oracle will set the byte length of the column (DBA_TAB_COLUMNS.DATA_LENGTH) to MIN(x * mchw, 4000), where mchw is the maximum byte width of a character in the database character set. This is 1 for US7ASCII or WE8MSWIN1252, 2 for JA16SJIS, 3 for UTF8, and 4 for AL32UTF8.
For example, a VARCHAR2(3000 CHAR) column in an AL32UTF8 database will be internally defined as having the width of 4000 bytes. It will hold up to 3000 characters from the ASCII range (the character limit), but only 1333 Chinese characters (the byte limit, 1333 * 3 bytes = 3999 bytes). A VARCHAR2(100 CHAR) column in an AL32UTF8 database will be internally defined as having the width of 400 bytes. It will hold up to any 100 Unicode characters.
The above implies that the CHAR limit works optimally if it is lower than 4000/mchw. With such restriction, the CHAR limit guarantees that the defined number of characters will fit into the column. Because the widest character in any Oracle character set has 4 bytes, if x <= 1000, VARCHAR2(x CHAR) is guaranteed to hold up to x characters in any database character set.
The declaration VARCHAR2(x):
- for objects defined in SYS schema means VARCHAR2(x BYTE),
- for objects defined in other schemas it means VARCHAR2(x BYTE) or VARCHAR2(x CHAR), depending on the value of the NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS parameter of the session using the declaration (see the NLS_SESSION_PARAMETERS view).
After an object is defined, its BYTE vs CHAR semantics is stored in the data dictionary and it does not depend on the NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS any longer. Even Export/Import will not change this.
Character length semantics rules are valid for table columns and for PL/SQL variables.

I cant insert a text into coulmn C as it exceed its maximum allwable size.

VARCHAR2 in Oracle are limited to 4000 bytes. Anything longer you need to store as CLOB. Unfortunately, you can't alter column from VARCHAR2 to CLOB. You would have to do someting like:
SQL> alter table a rename column c to d
2 /
Table altered.
SQL> alter table a add c clob
2 /
Table altered.
SQL> update a set c = d;
0 rows updated.
SQL> alter table a drop column d;
Table altered.
SQL> desc a

B                                                                                 NUMBER
C                                                                                 CLOB
SQL> So now column C is CLOB, it retains all values of old VARCHAR2 column C and you can insert values > 4000:
SQL> insert into a values(1,to_clob(lpad('A',4000,'A')) || lpad('B',4000,'B'));
1 row created.
SQL> select length(c) from a

Help, please - I need a box to pop-up when user hovers over a field with their mouse??

I created a form with several drop-down fields / questions. I would like to create a box that pops up when the person who is filling out the form hovers over the question/ field with his or her mouse. The box would contain additional information about the question that the person might consider before they select the answer. I don't want to clutter the form (and not all form-filler-outers will want or need to see the additional information) so I want it to pop up when the person hovers over the question with their mouse.
Can someone provide some help with how I can do this?
I'm still new to this.
Thank you!!!

Hi,
To follow on from radzmar, here is a summary of the features that are available/restricted depending on how you deploy your form.
There are two ways to apply Reader rights, one is using Acrobat Standard (v9) or Acrobat Professional (v8). The other is using an Adobe server product called LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES2.
You don't need script to apply the Reader rights to your form. Once you have applied the rights, users with Reader will be able to save the data in the form, however there may still be other restrictions in place, like attaching documents to the form or exporting XML data.
There summary is also available in PDF, with screen shots, here: http://assurehsc.ie/blog/index.php/2010/05/using-livecycle-forms-in-acrobat-and-reader/

How can I have two fields with the same name if it makes sense?

Hello, folks :)
I have a pretty hard time figuring out how I can have two text fields with the same binding name.
The whole problem is that when I need two fields with the same binding name they are still differnent coz they have the same name but differnt indices.
I should make a form filled at runtime by merging a pdf form file and an fdf file data file. And I have no choice to do it differently. And my form file needs some data like customerName, companyName twice in one form. But there's only one possible buinding name indexed zero.
How can I create a field with absolutely the same name or is it just impossible due to possible name conflicts? And is there a workaround to this problem? I just need one piece of data repeated in different places.
Thanks for your replies :)
P.S. if u think that the problem is not clear enough let me know. I'll supply you with more details. But the general process can not be changed.
One pdf should be mergred with an fdf with as the result of their merge a new filled and flattened form. I have no control over fdfs their are generated by Oracle and I can not fill the form using XML files coz this process should be integrated in a working application.

I just thought about a really ugly workaround with a server-side script adding values to fdf files but it's a bit of work and tests and personally i think it's a bad idea :-(
