How to disable the special character input by Option key?

Hi, all!
I'm a eclipse developer and I'm get used to type (alt + /) shortcut for code tip in eclipse, but in Mac, when I type (option + /), I got ÷ symbol, how can I disable this functionality in Mac?
Many thankS

On the U.S., U.S. Extended, and U.S. International PC keyboards, the option key turns the / character into ÷.
In the System Preferences > Keyboard Preferences > Keyboard Tab > Modifier Keys... you can actually set the option key modifier to No Action. It does what it says and option + / is exactly what you get.

friends
thanks for ur time and effort that u gave to reply to my problem.
But my main problem is that when my application (VC++ 7) fires the following query in the oracle database , it does not return any rows.
SELECT count(*) FROM ORGANISATION WHERE UPPER(ORGANISATION.ORGANISATIONNAME)
LIKE N'β%' ORDER BY ORGANISATION.ORGANISATIONNAME
the above question in the previous thread was just to check on sql plus as it's editor does not support unicode characters.

How to use the special character pallet in Maverics with Illustrator

How to use the special character pallet in Mavericks with Illustrator - I follow the help instructions, but the pasted in object looks like a rectangle with an X, I have done this before, in earlier versions of AI, but cannot make it work in CS6.
In fact, I can open an old AI file (CS4), copy the character (a graphic symbol, also taken from the special character set), paste it in, and it works, but can't do this with a new one, from the drop down, Show Character Viewer, in the Mavericks menu bar.

The box with an X indicates the font you are using does not have the glyph you are trying to paste. Try a different font.

Use two single quotes inside your literals to represent one single quote.
For example, this would find my name:
SELECT *
FROM emp
WHERE name = 'Michael O''Neill';
Michael O'Neill

Hi All,

Requirement is :
I have to come up with the SQL or PL/SQL code which should return and find the special or hidden character in the datafiles name in a database. There are nearly 400+ database are present in almost all the flavor of UNIX and i have to check the each and every database.
As you know , Name of the data file will be like this :

Hi Frank,
This is excellent function. Thanks for you responce.
I want to modify this query in such a way that .... i should get only those datafiles name which are holding special characters. I don't know how to put this in where condition. :( Here's one way:
SELECT file_name
,       ...     -- other expressions, if you want any
FROM    dba_data_files
WHERE   TRANSLATE ( file_name
                  , '?0123456789.ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ\_/abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
                  ) IS NOT NULL Among the other expressions you can put into the SELECT clause (if you want to) is a copy of the TRANSLATE function, as you had in your message. That would highlight exactly which character(s) made the file_name invalid.

How to know the Special character?

I am using Release 10.2.0.1.0 version of oracle. I am getting a special character, but i suspect it as any other language caharacter.
Its appearing in my 'TOAD editor/Sql prompt editor' as 'A?'. but when i am selecting it from the table using below query, its giving 'No rows Returned'.
select id from tab1 where id like 'A%';
Please let me know, how can i be able to see the exact character or which editor will enable me to see the character?
I think sql developer GUI might be able to show the same but i dont have sql developer with me.

How can I use Greek symbols in a text in Pages? Greek symbols are not in the special character list.

How can I use Greek symbols in a Pages text? Greek symbols are not included in the special character collection.
I need to import for example a sigma from Word or Adobe illustrator and then Pages can recognise it. I can not find it from within Pages.

Special character palette from the edit menu does have sigmas under European ... > Greek ...
You can do a search at the bottom of the Special Character palette. Double click on the greek capital letter sigma. You will get a lot of sigmas.

How can I replace the Special Character '

Hi Guru ,
I want replace one Special Chareacter into space .
Example -
There have one variable .
L_VAR = BANGA'LORE
I want to delete the special character ( ' ) which is between A and L .
Whenever I am tryiny to use replcae statement , it will show one Error Message .
REPLACE ''' IN L_VAR WITH ' '.
IT WILL GIVE ONE ERROR MESSAGE - " Literals that take up more than one line are not permitted."
How Can I replace this .

Hi Tarak Dey,
This error
Literals that take up more than one line are not permitted
is not for the Replace statement. You would have missed a PERIOD in some statement before this.
When we see the code that you have pasted,
L_VAR = BANGA'LORE
here period is missing at the end of the line. The error could be because of that.
Kindly check.
Best Regards,
Ram.

you could try using a Java Mapping to change the encoding manually. For that, set the encoding of the OutputFormat of the XML you'll serialize. Try the following code piece for the mapping (inside a try/catch declaration):
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder documentBuilder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document input = documentBuilder.parse(in);
OutputFormat format = new OutputFormat(XML, "ISO-8859-1", false);
XMLSerializer serializer = new XMLSerializer(out, format);

In OBIEE 11G, how to get the special parameter created by JAVA?

Hi Experts,
In OBIEE 11G, how to get the special parameter created by JAVA?
For example:
In JAVA , it has set one parameter named 'test'.
So how to get the parameter in filter area in OBIEE?

Hi Kobe,
No P2 holds the parameter name like PresentationTable.ColumnName, in your form you may go for complete name or just column name and before submitting the form you can define the Action url.
I would suggest to read section 6.3.2.1.
ex:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
changeAction(url) {
var TestVar = form.inputbox.value;
document.this_form.action="saw.dll?Go&Path=/Shared/Test/SB2&Action=Navigate&P0=1&P1=like&P2=Customers.Region&P3="+TestVar;
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FORM NAME="myform" ACTION="" METHOD="GET">Enter something in the box: <BR>
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="inputbox" VALUE=""><P>
<INPUT TYPE="button" NAME="button" Value="Click" onClick="changeAction(this.value)">
</FORM>
If helps pls mark.
