French characters are not correctly stored in database with SQLPlus

Hello everyone,
I would like to do the following:
Run an SQL script that inserts/deletes/updates data. The data itself may be
French or non-English characters .Currently, we do this
by just running a script that invokes SQLPlus and runs the various SQL
scripts. However, non-English characters are not correctly stored in the
database (server character set is currently set to AL32UTF8).
Is there a way to get this to work in SQLPlus?
I have tried saving the files in UTF8 or unicode but SQLPlus cannot identify
the formatting of the file and spits out an error.
Any hints would be appreciated.
Thanks,

If the CharacterSet on server is Unicode, normally, there is no problem IF the client is using a characterset with é or à ! ;-)
you should set NLS_LANG on client side...

Data Integrator: Arabic characters are not correctly displayed

Hi,
I'm trying to load Arabic text via an UTF8 flat file into an Oracle database.
I've read several topics and set the correct code page settings (also during install) for the datastore and flat file.
Already in flat file preview (see attached screenshot), the wrong characters are displayed. The characters as they are displayed, are inserted in the database. So I think that if I get the flat file preview correctly, the text is inserted correctly into the database.
On the other hand: When i copy the contents of the flat file, via a bodi job, to another flat file, the target flat file does contain the correct characters (when opened in a utf8 file reader).
I tried several solutions and also went through the Code Page help topic on the BODI site.
Does anyone know a solution to my problem or know this is a BODI bug or something?
I'm using Designer version 11.5.3.9 (I went through fix notes of versions after 11.5.3.9, but saw nothing mentioned about my problem). The Oracle database does support arabic characters as I can insert them via e.g. SQL Developer.
Thanks a lot in advance!

Hé Amr, thanks a lot! This sounds good.
I indeed saw a kind of this solution somewhere else. What I did not is restarting the computer, since it is a shared server. Maybe that was why it didn't solve my problem.
Before I restart an additional question: I need to convert some files with Turkish characters as well.
Have you got a value which I can put in NLS_LANG, which supports these characters and Arabic characters both at the same time?

Infotypes special characters are not displayed correctly

hi experts,
While entering names with special characters in infotypes it happens that some of them are not correctly displayed .
can you please help me out as soon as possible
thnx
harish

Thank you for your fast reply :)
The site is not online available unfortunately.
The character encoding used by Firefox is UTF-8 (automatically detected) which is correct. I even tried manually switching to other Chinese standards, but none of them brought a satisfieable result.
The site itself does not specify a font (the css only contains "font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Verdana;"), and the site does not provide a custom font either.
I noticed that if i copy and paste the text into word, the characters are wrongly displayed too using the font MS Mincho (so I assume Firefox automatically selects this font to display the characters which would explain why they are displayed incorrectly)
Ah, I now included the font "SimSun" in the css (which is installed on in windows and using this font the characters are displayed correctly in word) - and this solved he problem!
Thanks for your help!!

Chinese simple characters are not displayed correctly (Old (TW? HK?) style instead of modern characters)

We a currently trying to translate our software into Chinese and we noted that some of the chinese characters are displayed incorrectly (it seems the Taiwanese/Hongkong version is displayed instead of the modern simple character)
The problem exists in both Firefox 3.6 as well as 4.0.1 and 4.0.2 (we did not try with other versions yet)
The characters are displayed correctly in IE 9.x and Google Chrome 13.0.782.220 m and we are positive it is not a problem with the website itself.
I copied part of a screenshot on: http://stuff.schoellhammer.at/bsp.png
The bottom part is the character from the input scheme (correctly displayed) but once it is entered in firefox (top part), the left character is displayed in incorrectly.

Unicode characters are not inserted in database properly

Hi all,
Iam developing an application that takes entries from text boxs and inserts them in database , When i try to write in language rather than english (i use arabic) the fields are inserted but as ?????? in the database fields , i checked the codepoints of the string and every thing is ok untill the call to executeUpdate() , i think that the unicode characters represented in the codepoint array are not transferred to the database , How can i fix this problem.
Best Regards.

In the connection string, you have to specify character encoding.
For example,
jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/database?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=utf8

Chinese characters are not displayed in the Firefox bookmarks

Chinese characters are not displayed in the Firefox bookmarks. The name looks like e.g. "??????? ???? cn.nytimes.com"
Chinese character of the site name is displayed ok in the head of the browser window and there is no problem reading chinese web content. I use Firefox Portable 11 /English from portableapps.com in Windows XP.
I googled and got some tips:
1) Set your browser to recognise Chinese language internet sites.
Windows users: Under "Tools - Options" on your browser's menu-bar add Chinese to the languages list.
- I did this.
2) Set your browser's "Character Set" or "Encoding" to UTF-8 (sometimes also called Universal Alphabet or Unicode).
Encoding settings can be changed under the "View" option in your browser's menu-bar.
- It was already set to UTF-8.
3) Windows users: If Chinese text still does not display correctly, East Asian language support may need to be enabled.
- This has been done when I installed Windows.
I still don't get any Chinese fonts in the bookmark names. I can edit the bookmark name with chinese characters and then save the bookmark, it works fine. But why does not Firefox recognize the characters when saving bookmarks? Help is appreciated.

No I didn't change anything deep beneath the hood. My problem didn't apply to the URL, but to the name of the link or bookmark header or whatever you would like to call it. (When hitting Ctrl + D there is a Name field). I only got ???????? instead of chinese characters in the name. Also for e.g. www.cntv.cn ...but maybe all China is not in the whitelist either. ;-) But anyway, this was not the real problem for me.
Apparently I was wrong as after a reboot of the computer it worked. The solution seemed to be to add Chinese to the language list. I don't know why it was not enough to restart Firefox?
Now I only have problems to show chinese characters in the name field of my external link manager... But I guess it is not an issue for Mozilla.

EMERGENCY: List of files in Recovery Area not managed by the database

Hi,
this is an emergency request....
I have this data guard set up. And i accidently dropped online redo logs, standby logs and the archive log except the current online redolog.
i actually ran to cleanup the whole directory which included the controlfile and the datafiles (was on the wrong location on ASM)
but the controlfile and the datafiles did not get deleted. i can still see them on the ASM.
and now when i am trying to restore the archive logs, but i keep getting error as shown below...
WARNING: A file of type ARCHIVED LOG may exist in
db_recovery_file_dest that is not known to the database.
Use the RMAN command CATALOG RECOVERY AREA to re-catalog
any such files. This is most likely the result of a crash
during file creation.
so when i did the below i was getting error as:
RMAN> CATALOG RECOVERY AREA;
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
searching for all files in the recovery area
no files found to be unknown to the database
List of files in Recovery Area not managed by the database

RMAN-07527: Reason: File was not created using DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST initialization parameter
number of files not managed by recovery area is 82, totaling 168.10GB
But i do see those data files that RMAN is complaining as shown above in the ASM.
I HOPE I DID NOT MESS UP THE CONTROLFILE and the DATFILES
CAN SOMEONE HELP ME FIX THIS MISTAKE THAT I DID.
Right now the data guard is running fine, the logs are getting shipped from primary and the getting applied at the DG.
And i am able to see all the redo logs got deleted.
But not sure how the deleted redo logs got created in the ASM (i did not create them manually)
Thanks.
Philip.

Yes this happened on the standby database.
I had to restore the archive logs because i deleted all the archive logs which got shipped from the primary.
I did re-create the standby logs. But when i checked back the redo logs that i deleted came back again.
I have no idea how they can back again. is it a feature of ASM where a mirrored copy of the files are stored on ASM and they re-create them when accidently dropped.
Can you help me understand how the redologs got created again automatically.
Right now the data guard is running fine but i do see the error
WARNING: A file of type ARCHIVED LOG may exist in
db_recovery_file_dest that is not known to the database.

Spanish accent characters are not displayed proper in excel file

Hi
I have written a program which displays one report file (.xls file ) on the browser.
This report file is in spanish language and contains few accent characters like
("� � � � � � �"). These characters are not displyed properly in that excel file which is opened in the browser. I have used utf-8 encoding method. I tried with some other encoding methods available. But still this problem continues.
Kindly provide me help as soon as possible.
Thanks and
Regards,
Deval

File is generated through a java bean at runtime and it is not stored pgysically.
If I copy these characters from somewhere to new xls file then it will be displayed properly.
Sample code which is used for setting headers is as below:
     protected void setContentType (
          HttpServletResponse     p_response
     ,     InstanceData          p_instancedata
          p_response.setHeader ("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
          p_response.setHeader ("Cache-Control", "max-age=0");
          p_response.setHeader (
               "Content-Disposition", "inline; filename="
          +      p_instancedata.userId
          +      "_"
          +      System.currentTimeMillis ()
          +     ".csv"
          System.out.println("Content generator = ");
          p_response.setHeader("charset","utf-8");
          p_response.setContentType (EXCEL_CONTENT_TYPE);
For generating this xls file, format of data is XML. Means both request and response data will be in XML format.
Hope this information help in suggesting any solution for this problem.

Deval

Redo log files are not applying to standby database

Hi everyone!!
I have created standby database on same server ( windows XP) and using oracle 11g . I want to synchronize my standby database with primary database . So I tried to apply redo logs from primary to standby database as follow .
My standby database is open and Primary database is not started (instance not started) because only one database can run in Exclusive Mode as DB_NAME is same for both database. I run the following command on the standby database.
SQL> ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE DISCONNECT FROM SESSION;
It returns "Database altered" . But when I checked the last archive log on primary database, its sequence is 189 while on standby database it is 177. That mean archived redo logs are not applied on standby database.
The tnsnames.ora file contains entry for both service primary & standby database and same service has been used to transmit and receive redo logs.
1. How to resolve this issue ?
2.Is it compulsory to have Primary database open ?
3. I have created standby control file by using command
SQL> ALTER DATABASE CREATE STANDBY CONTROLFILE AS ‘D:\APP\ORACLE\ORADATA\TESTCAT\CONTROLFILE\CONTROL_STAND1.CTL‘;
So database name in the standby control file is same as primary database name (PRIM). And hence init.ora file of standby database also contains DB_NAME = 'PRIM' parameter. I can't change it because it returns error of mismatch database name on startup. Should I have different database name for both or existing one is correct ?
Can anybody help me to come out from this stuck ?
Thanks & Regards
Tushar Lapani

Thank you Girish. It solved my redo apply problem. I set log_archive_dest parameter again and then I checked archive redo log sequence number. It was same for both primary and standby database. But still table on standby database is not being refresh.
I did following scenario.
1. Inserted 200000 rows in emp table of Scott user on Primary database and commit changes.
2. Then I synchronized standby database by using Alter database command. And I also verify that archive log sequence number is same for both database. It mean archived logs from primary database has been applied to standby database.
3. But when I count number of rows in emp table of scott user on standby database, it returns only 14 rows even of redo log has been applied.
So my question is why changes made to primary database is not reflected on standby database although redo logs has been applied ?
Thanks

A few notes :
Troubleshooting Tips For Dataguard Switchover (9i and 10gR1) [ID 298986.1]
Although it is about Switchover, it does mandate a password file exclusive. If the switchover requires the password file, shouldn't ARCH shipping require it ?
Step By Step Guide To Create Physical Standby Database Using RMAN [ID 469493.1]
also covers 9i with specific mentions of 9i differences from 10g. Passwordfile is not mentioned as different in 9i from 10g.
Data Guard 9i - Net8 Configuration for a 2-node database environment. [ID 175122.1
has log_archive_dest_2='SERVICE=NODE2STDBY.ACME.COM' so it connects to the service
*However* the document "Introduction to Oracle 9i Data Guard Manager" from
Data Guard 9i Introduction to Data Guard Manager GUI [ID 150217.1]
page 59 has this : "The creation process will attempt to create a remote login password file for the standby database to
enable remote connections to the database. (Note: A remote login password file is not necessary for
Data Guard operation; it is only needed to allow remote connections to the database from clients,
such as other Enterprise Manager tools.)"
Similarly the section "3.2.6 Set Initialization Parameters on a Physical Standby Database"
in the 9i DataGuard manual at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96653/create_ps.htm#62941
only has
remote_archive_enable=TRUE
(this is an instance parameter)
Similarly the section "5.8.2.1 Primary Database Initialization Parameters"
at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96653/log_transport.htm#1067609
explains
The last parameter, REMOTE_ARCHIVE_ENABLE=SEND, allows the primary database to send redo data to the standby database, but prevents the primary database from receiving redo data from another system.
with REMOTE_ARCHIVE_ENABLE=RECEIVE on the Standby
to Receive and archive the incoming redo data from the primary database, but only while the database is running in the standby role
So, I guess that REMOTE_ARCHIVE_ENABLE is the important one. Not REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE.
In 9i : http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96536/ch1174.htm#1023087
In 10g it is deprecated : http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/initparams176.htm#sthref541 so that LOG_ARCHIVE_CONFIG is used.

Polish characters are not retrived from request object

Hi
I have a problem in passing POLISH character through request object.
I am calling a servlet from a jsp with a hyper link. when the link in jsp is clicked the following code will be executed
response.sendRedirect(response.encodeURL("http://hostname:8080/appName/abc.do?method=getReport&FirstName=Ko�tun&LastName=Pro�ciak"));
this code is passing two POLISH strings First Name & Last Name to the servlet.
In the servlet i am trying to retrieve the values of the parameters "FirstName" & "LastName".
Sring FN=request.getParameter("FirstName");
String LN=request.getParameter("LastName");
The variable FN & LN doesn't show the POLISH character in servlet.
I tried with the below option in JSP
<meta content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-2" > (or)
<meta content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" >
(or)
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=ISO8859_2" %>
(or)
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" %>
In Servlet i tried using
request.setCharacterEncoding("ISO-8859-2");
(or)
request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
Pl help me.
Thanks in advance

Don't do it then. Those characters are not allowed inside a URL and have to be encoded. You know, that %... stuff.

French characters are not correctly stored in database with SQLPlus
