How do I specify character set encoding?

Hi,
I already defined sub-class META from DOCUMENT class thru xml.
Now I am trying to upload META files thru xml and its working fine.
But when I see properties from web, I don't see "Character Set" define.
As a result I can't use BufferedReader(doc.getContentReader())
Exception in thread "main" oracle.ifs.common.IfsException: IFS-32245: Cannot con
vert content to Reader - content does not have an associated character encoding.
at oracle.ifs.server.S_Media.convertInputStreamToReader(S_Media.java:1960)
at oracle.ifs.server.S_Media.getReaderFromObject(S_Media.java:1423)
at oracle.ifs.server.S_Media.getContentReader(S_Media.java:1408)
How can I specify encoding character set from xml?
Of if possible can I specify while defining class(META in this case).
Thanks,
-Niraj

Luis,
Each take encoding name arguments using the Java naming conventions.
If you want to do this automatically when you upload your XML file, you
will need to write a server-side representation of your "META" ClassObject
and provide an 'extendedPostInsert' implementation. In this method, you can
parse the XML content and pull out an encoding if you specify it within the
XML file. Could you explain in little more details?
If you can provide me links to any resouces, that would be great.
Thanks,

How to change the character set encoding not being a superset one

HI, i have a fresh installed database, but i realize the character set support in my client is not good enough, since its a not production database i want to change the character set encoding to anothor one not being a superset of the old one.
I have tried the "ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET WE8MSWIN1252" but it fails claiming i need a superset one.
I guess its just a single steps to do it, i have all the privileges, just not the time to reinstall and setup everything.

Do you know what that does to the existing data, though? My hunch would be that any characters which have a different binary representation in the source & target character sets would be corrupted.

How to add a new character set encoding?

Hello,
can anybody please explain to me, how to add a new character set encoding to Mac OS Tiger?
I have two Mac laptops, a new one with Snow Leopard and an older one with Tiger, and on the old one i cannot use or enable anywhere the "Russian (DOS)" character set encoding, which i need to be able to use some old text files.
On the Snow Leopard, this encoding is present in the list of available encodings of TextWrangler, but not in TIger.
If i have understood correctly, this is not a problem of TextWrangler, and the same encodings are available systemwide.
So, the question is: how to add new encodings to Tiger (or to Mac OS in general)?
Thanks.

I think possibly that's in the Get Info window of Finder?
I don't think either that or the input menu have any effect on available encoding choices. Adding languages to system prefs/international/languages can do that, but once you have added Russian there, I don't know of any way to add an additional Russian encoding (there are quite a number of them).

Specifying character set on application import

hi --
I'm running into a problem that I think has to do w/ character sets.
I'm using non-breaking spaces in numerous LOVs; they're entered in as ALT +0160 on the keypad. These non-breaking spaces work great in the development environment of APEX (eg in the development app), and now I need to export/import the app to a production environment, which is runtime only.
The NLS_CHARACTERSET on both the development and production databases is US7ASCII.
When I import the app into the runtime installation of APEX I simply run the export file in sqlplus as the schema user.
(It has been scp'd over, as a text file, from the development server.)
The application imports and runs fine, but the non breaking spaces are displayed as garbage characters.
I did some testing on apex.oracle.com. I noticed that when I specify character set of unicode utf-8 on import,
the non-breaking spaces work properly. When I specify US-ASCII, I get the same garbage I'm getting in
my production environment.
When I export the app from the development environment, the character set is fixed (cannot be changed) to unicode utf-8. But I'm not doing anything to set the character set on import (don't know that I can...), and I wonder if it's adopting the database default character set of ASCII.
How can I get the imported app to use the desired character set? Am I going to have to convert this to a development
environment just so I can specify the character set on import, or is there a way to do it in sqlplus?
I'm not entirely sure I'm on the right track... but maybe someone has ideas how to get these non breaking spaces working in the production environment.
If access to my workspace on apex.oracle.com would be helpful, let me know.
Thanks,
Carol

I forgot to mention that, from what I've recently read, ASCII does not have a representation for non breaking spaces... so the behavior I'm experiencing is at least consistent with that...

Otherwise I would assume we are talking about the Database character set, which allows numerous different character sets and types (single-byte, multi-byte, Unicode etc. depending on Oracle release).

How to change the Character Set from AL32UTF8 to WE8DEC

Hello!!
I want to know how to change the character set in the database from AL32UTF8 to WE8DEC.
I tried to use the comand ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET but I got an error because WE8DEC is not a superset of AL32UTF8.
I need to import tables from a server that uses WE8DEC. So when I do the import to my server, wich has AL32UTF8 , I can't import the rows that include an Ñ.
So I want to change the caracter set to WE8DEC. How can I do it?
Is it needed to change the language configuration? The remote server has AMERICAN_AMERICA, and my server has MEXICAN SPANISH_MEXICO (both uses text in spanish).
Thanks a lot!!

When you export from WE8DEC server what did you use
for NLS_LANG char set? And when importing?
The export was done in another computer because I can't do the export in the server (I have 10g, and the remote server has 9i and the export is not working). In my server, when I tried to do the import, the NS_LANG value was MEXICAN SPANISH_MEXICO.WE8MSWIN1252.
When I try to import to my database I got the error:
import done in WE8DEC character set and AL16UTF16 NCHAR character set
import server uses AL32UTF8 character set (possible charset conversion)
export client uses WE8MSWIN1252 character set (possible charset conversion)

How to handle national character set datatypes in oracle?

Hi
Can anyone tell me how to handle national character set datatypes in oracle?
Thanks in advance

And for data manipulation, append "N" the literal values being used in the command.
The "N" indicates that the string is to be treated as Unicode Text.
For Example: insert into TableName (ColumnName) values (N'ValueToBeInserted');

How can i change character set on forms9i runtime?

Hi Every Body,
i am a user on forms9i developer.
i want to know how can i change character set definition when i run a form on web(with oc4j).
is it any JAR file or another file that i can change display of characters on forms9i runtime on web?
thanks a lot.

hi frank,
thanks a lot for your attention.
i have a problem on persian language.
whereas oracle dosn't support persian(farsi) language,
i use arabic character set for simulation.
in oracle developer6i (forms) i had no problem about displaying farsi fonts on runtime.
but in forms9i that runs forms on web(java applet) i can't use farsi fonts correctly.
for example when i type a word(boilerplate text) on farsi language in form builder i can see it correctly but when i run my forms on web , characters of that word have some displacement.
i want to know that is there any configuration file for solving this problem?
thanks a lot.
be successful.

How to change the character set of the D/b

Hello All,
When i issue the command
ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET UTF8
It gives me the error that I can only change the character set to a superset of the existing character set.
Is there any way i can change the character set without recreating the database.
TIA
Naveen

The existing character set is the basis for the new character set. This is fair enough, because the character set determines how the actual data is stored in the database. Allowing new characters is a minor change: completely re-encoding your entire database is not.
I'm afraid export, recreate and import is your only option.
Cheers, APC

Oracle 11g Installation How to select Database Character Set

Hi,
I am Installing oracle 11g R2. After installation I had verified the character set it was AL16UTF16 but I wants to set AL32UTF8 charater set at the time of oracle installation only. I can't see the character set setting opetion at the time of installation because I am selecting the installation option " Install database softerware only" and after installation of oracle software manually I am creating the database. Please help me how can I set the character set at the time of oracle installation or at the time of database creation.
My question is-
How can I set the AL32UTF8 character set in above scenario?
Why It is showing AL16UTF16 character set even I did not define any thing?

But is there any choice to set the NLS_CHARACTERSET at the time of manually database creation. Actually For creating the database i am using one shell script for seting the parameter values in init.ora file so can I set the parameter at that level(at the time of creating init.ora using manually database creation). like

How to define the character set of an outbound EDI batch in BizTalk 2010?

I have some EDIFACT files with a character set of UNOC though lowercase strings and umlaute should be allowed. These files should be batched in an outbound EDIFACT file. But the batching orchestration of the related send port throws some validation errors.
If I convert the strings to uppercase characters everything's working fine. So it seems that the outbound batching orchestration uses the UNOA character set internally for the validation of the EDIFACT files...
How can I change the character set of the outbound batching orchestration in BizTalk 2010? No settings found regarding the character set of outbound batching orchestration in the party and agreement configuration so far. Thank you

Hi Philipp,
To define a character set in EDIFACT,
UNA segment is used. After defining see, How Validation of an EDI Interchange Is Configured and Outbound

How to change the character set?

Platform is win2000 and oracle 8.17. I need to write data in Bulragian. Automatic character converter in oracle didn't work! Database is created already!
Is there any function in pl/sql or Java that can convert character set in cl8mswin1251? When I read the data from database there are only ?????
Thank you in advance!

I'm not sure what you're asking here. "Will it be ok" for what?
Assuming
- you read the chapter I linked to,
- ran the character set scanner,
- the character set scanner indicated that all your existing data is properly encoded ISO 8859-1
- the character set scanner indicated that all the ISO 8859-1 data could be converted to Windows-1252
- all the national character set data was properly encoded in whatever national character set the database had
- you did the export properly
- you did the import properly
- your client NLS_LANG settings are all correct
then sure, everything should be OK.
If you skipped one of these steps, I would again strongly encourage you to read the chapter I linked to originally as well as the Metalink article others have pointed you to.
