How to insert special character from Oracle form builder 10g

Dear all,
I need help. how to insert special character like 'Superscript or Subscript ' from oracle form builder 10g. I had try in Oracle form builder 6i with press ALT+ASCII code in the text item and it work, but in the oracle form builder 10g this method doesn't work... would you like to help me...somebody please...
Best Regard,
Dedy P.T.

What do you mean by insert ... from Forms Builder? Do you mean you want to add it as text in a string of pl/sql code or as part of boiler plate text (label) or a value on the Property Palette?
For special characters you would need set NLS_LANG to something that would support the characters you want to use. For the Builder to see the change, you would need to set NLS_LANG to something like:
NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8
This can be done in the Windows Registry or system. As I mentioned, this will only apply to the Builder and will have nothing to do with a running form. For running forms you would need to set this in default.env. As for things like super and sub scripts, these are font formats and not necessarily characters. For the most part, I don't believe these are supported in Forms.

How to export&import data using sql *loader

Hi all,
How to export&import data from sql*loader. Give me the clear steps..
Thanks in Advance

Hi did you already exported data from SQL SERVER? if not using SQL*LOADER you cannot export data. SQL*LOADER is only mean for importing data from flat files(usually text files) into ORACLE tables.
for importing data into oracle tables using sql*loader use below steps
1) create a sql*loader control file.
it looks like as follows
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'sample.dat'
BADFILE 'sample.bad'
DISCARDFILE 'sample.dsc'
APPEND
INTO TABLE emp
TRAILING NULLCOLS
or for sample script of control file search google.
2) at command prompt issue following
$ sqlldr test/test
enter control file=<give control file name which you create earlier>
debug any errors (if occured)

Special character issue while loading data from SAP HR through VDS

Hello,
We have a special character issue, while loading data from SAP HR to IdM, using a VDS and following the standard documentation: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e09fa547-f7c9-2b10-3d9e-da93fd15dca1?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
French accent like (é,à,è,ù), are correctly loaded but Turkish special ones (like : Ş, İ, ł ) are transformed into u201C#u201D in Idm.
The question is : does someone know any special setting to do in the VDS or in IdM for special characters to solve this issue??
Our SAP HR version is ECC6.0 (ABA/BASIS7.0 SP21, SAP_HR6.0 SP54) and we are using a VDS 7.1 SP5 and SAP NW IdM 7.1 SP5 Patch1 on oracle 10.2.
Thanks

We are importing directly to the HR staging area, using the transactions/programs "HRLDAP_MAP", "LDAP" and "/RPLDAP_EXTRACT", then we have a job which extract data from the staging area to a CSV file.
So before the import, the character appears correctly in SAP HR, but by the time it comes through the VDS to the IDM's temporary table, it becomes "#".
Yes, our data is coming from a Unicode system.
So, could it be a java parameter to change / add in the VDS??
Regards.

ORA-00936 error from SQL expression in SQL*Loader script

I am getting the above error on the following line in my SQL*Loader script:
DIA_CLM_RES_OID DECIMAL EXTERNAL
"SELECT N_ORG_ENTY_ID FROM TESTG4.ORG_ENTITY
WHERE N_USER_ID =
(SELECT UNIQUE WSR_NT_ID FROM CONV_CLM_RESOURCE
WHERE CLM_RES_OID = :DIA_CLM_RES_OID)",
What I am basically trying to do is a 2-table lookup of a value:
1. Find a row in table CONV_CLM_RESOURCE where the value in column CLM_RES_OID matches the value in the input file in field DIA_CLM_RES_OID.
2. Take the value of field WSR_NT_ID from that row and use it to find a row in table TESTG4.ORG_ENTITY.
3. Take the value of field WSR_NT_ID from that row and set it in the target table in field DIA_CLM_RES_OID.
In other words, I am essentially trying to translate the input value by using two other tables to lookup the value to translate to. However, no matter how I arrange it, I keep getting the "ORA-00936: missing expression" error on this statement.
Can anyone see what I am doing wrong, or perhaps suggest a better way of accomplishing a two-table translation of a value?
Thanks!

Still not sure why this doesn't work, but I was able to create and use a function to do this instead, which is probably a better approach anyway.

Raj,
Here is you can use to generate sqlldr control and you can include this in simple sql script or call it from unix script or batch script. Run this sql from IDE or sqlplus and pass "table name " generate sqlldr control file

Creating SQL-Loader script for more than one table at a time

Hi,
I am using OMWB 2.0.2.0.0 with Oracle 8.1.7 and Sybase 11.9.
It looks like I can create SQL-Loader scripts for all the tables
or for one table at a time. If I want to create SQL-Loader
scripts for 5-6 tables, I have to either create script for all
the tables and then delete the unwanted tables or create the
scripts for one table at a time and then merge them.
Is there a simple way to create migration scripts for more than
one but not all tables at a time?
Thanks,
Prashant Rane

No there is no multi-select for creating SQL-Loader scripts.
You can either create them separately or create them all and
then discard the one you do not need.

Using SQL Loader script in a Stored Procedure

Can I use SQL Loader script in a stored procedure and then execute it from a front-end appl.? The reason for this seemingly convoluted solution is that the users don't want a batch load though the records volume is quite high (around 1 mil). Other loads using ODBC connection or OLE DB seem to be inferior to SQL Loader.

I would suggest a couple of solutions:
1. Have a cgi script that can upload the file to the server from a web ui, then have the cgi script call the sql*loader file, and it will insert into the database.
2. You can try to use External tables. This is avaliable in 9i and onwards. You will be able to make any sql DML on the external table.
I would normally use sql*loader, move the data to a staging table with nologging, and paralle loading. After it has been loaded into the staging table I would process it into my main tables. Have used this approach with up to 60 million records in one load.
You can do calls to C procedures, Pro*C procedures through PLSQL, as well as java calls, or use Java stored procedures.
My experience is that SQL*Loader is the fastest way to load data into the database.

How to handle special characters in SQL statements

How do you handle special charactes in a SQL statement? Here is an example:
update table
set notefield = 'This is Waldo's note'
where keyfield = 7;
Because the database connectivity vi accepts a string datatype wire, the ' in Waldo's note is seen as the end of string and an error is generated.
Is there a way to tell labview that the ' is part of the string and not the string delimiter?
Waldo

If two single quotes don't work, try backslash single quote, like \'
The backslash is often used as an escape character, meaning to treat the next character literally.

How to Insert special character like 'Б б В в Г Д ж Ğ ğ € ₧ š Ž ž'

Hi All,
My database NLS_CHARACTERSET is ABLAUT and my sql client setting is AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8.
when i try to insert the special character like 'Б б В в Г Д ж Ğ ğ € ₧ š Ž ž' in oracle it shows question mark or square box
can any one help me how to insert the above character and view the same in database while retrieving.
Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure.
Perhaps UNISTR() or TO_NCHAR() will be helpful.
select level, unistr(concat('\', TO_CHAR(Level, 'FM000X'))) from dual connect by level < 300;

How to eliminate special characters that appear in extracted data files

Dear all,
I need your help please,
I have data files that are extracted via programs from a database db1. Those datafiles appear to have special character in the last record, so the last record in the datafile is entered in the database db2 via sql loader import and it appears in the table as a special character like a square.
What could I do in the control file to skip the last record in the datafile that contains this special character?
regards

is it last row in the file or last field in each row (record)?
*1. if last field in each row* then it looks like you are running import on unix box and it's dos file. Unix file have end-of-line LF, dos have CRLF
a. in sql loader add the records terminator to INFILE clause http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28319/ldr_concepts.htm#sthref718 it's been I while since I used SQL Loader, I believe it would look like this
INFILE '/myfile.csv' "str '\r\n'"
b. in external table (this is not your case and you can ignore this comment) you can use RECORDS DELIMITED BY clause like this RECORDS DELIMITED BY '\r\n'
*2. if it is very last row* in the file, then you can use WHEN clause to filter that row
a. SQLLDR http://www.orafaq.com/wiki/SQL*Loader_FAQ#Can_one_selectively_load_only_the_records_that_one_needs.3F
b. external table uses LOAD WHEN clause http://jiri.wordpress.com/2009/03/09/oracle-external-tables-by-examples-%E2%80%A6-part-2-reading-file-with-header-and-footer/
