How to enter URDU Language data in Oracle

hi,
im having great problems in entering Urdu Language data in Oracle 9i rel.2 database on win2000 ad. server having my client PCs on windows xp,, then front end of our application being in developing process,,in .net framework,,using vb.net,,now windows xp is supporting urdu and data in urdu language is entered properly from the front end application but oracle is not supporting it,, and not displaying right translated characters,,my country is Pakistan,,laguage is Urdu,,the character set of my database is we8mswin1252 and national character set is al16utf16,,
plz help me wriggle out the situation.
regards
umar

I am not completely certain what Oracle character sets support Urdu, but I can say that Windows-1252 certainly does not. You probably want to use UTF-8 as the database character set.
Unfortunately, changing the database character set generally requires rebuilding the database. You cannot use the ALTER DATABASE command here, since UTF-8 is not a strict binary superset of Windows-1252.

How to insert multi language data to oracle database

Hi ,
Can any one suggest the steps involved in implementing storage/retrieval of data in the language otherthan english on the database?. I am using Oracle 9i database.
I want to write sql scripts to insert data to the database.How can i insert the data in the language otherthan english i.e hindi. ensuring storage and display of data is fine at the backend.
CHARACTERSET is set AL32UTF8 and need to insert the data in the NVARCHAR2 datatype enabled column.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Poornima

If you can write the text in Notepad, then enter the text and save the file with the encoding "Unicode big endian". Then, open the file in a hex editor. The first two bytes will be 0xFE and 0xFF (this is the Byte Order Mark). This code should be skipped for database storage as it is relevant to flat files only. What follows are two-byte character codes that you can put into UNISTR calls. The file with the word "Patra" will show up in the hex editor as:
FE FF 09 2a 09 24 09 4d 09 30
If you can enter the characters in your HTML browser, you can use the very useful conversion page at http://rishida.net/tools/conversion/ (this is not an official endorsement from Oracle but my personal advice). Enter the characters into the "Characters" text area and click on the corresponding [Convert] button. The "Hexadecimal code points" field will tell you the codes that you need to prefix with backslash and put into the UNISTR call.
If you are unable to enter the characters on your workstation, then you can identify each letter in the text and look it up in the Unicode character database at http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/Index.txt or http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/NamesList.txt. The four-digit hexadecimal codes listed there are what you are looking for. Unfortunately, such lookup will not work for Chinese Han and Japanese Kanji characters as they have no names in Unicode.
Another method is to use files in another language-specific encoding and convert them to Unicode before loading them into the AL32UTF8 database.

How to store other language data in oracle

Hi,
i am starter in oracle. Some of you may have faced this before and comee across the solution to the issue/query i am going to ask.
I want to know how can i store data other than english in oracle data base and display them .

## I want to know how can i store data other than english in oracle data base
When creating a database with Oracle Universal Installer or Database Configuration Assistant, select AL32UTF8 (Unicode UTF-8) as the database character set. This is basically the only requirement. I assume you do not try Oracle8i or older ;-)
## and display them .
This is more complex. You should use client and application technologies that support Unicode. For example, web applications usually can do this if configured for encoding UTF-8. However, most browsers will support only a subset of all languages spoken in the world due to font and keyboard support limitations. The supportable language set depends on the browser but mainly on the client operating system. You need to have a better idea what languages you want to support.
Thanks,
Sergiusz

Does LabVIEW have support for entering Urdu language script?

Hi All!
My LabVIEW application requires users to enter their observations in a string control which is then stored in an excel file.
Now the issue is that the user wants to enter the data in Urdu language.
Now my question is, Does LabVIEW have support for entering Urdu language script in a string control?
If yes how can I implement this? If no, is there any possibility that National Instruments could extend some help in this regard upon request?
Regards,
Reeves

My experience from Hebrew, which is also right to left, is that it can be done if the operating system supports it, but it will work badly if you include anything in the text which is not an Urdu letter. This causes it to be displayed in the wrong side of the control and is only solved if you add more Urdu text after it.
One option you can try is including an ActiveX control (such as the rich text box) for editing the text and then you can probably get the text from it using a property. I don't remember trying it (my users don't usually need to input Hebrew text themselves), but I think it should work. I wouldn't have any hopes for NI doing anything about this, because it's considered to be a relatively small market.

How to show muliti language data correctly using webi reports

Hi ,
Can you please suggest me how to show multi language data correctly in webi reports .
Do we need to install any lang pack in both server and client machine ?
Thanks & Regards
Venkat

you mean using translation manager? or data from DB? or both.
You need to make sure that your DB is already configured for multiple languages.
Enable the OS for multi languages
On XIR3.1, you will need to install language packs on the processing servers. then you can utilize translation manager.
Installation of Language Packs are a pain to install and update.

How to load text file data to Oracle Database table?

By using Oracle Forms, how to load text file data to Oracle Database table?

Metalink note 33247.1 explains how to use text_io as suggested by Robin to read the file into a Multi-Row block. However, that article was written for forms 4.5 and uses CREATE_RECORD in a loop. There was another article, 91513.1 describing the more elegant method of 'querying' the file into the block by transactional triggers. Unfortunately this more recent article has disappeared without trace and Oracle deny its existence. I know it existed as I have a printed copy in front of me, and very useful it is too.

How to use urdu language in AE cs3

Friends
i have AE CS3 English edition. but i want to use URDU Language in it as text.
i dont know the way how to use urdu language in AE CS3.
Cas any body help in out this problem. i will be thank full to u.
very thanks in advance.
Regards.

Whenever I have trouble with fonts from a different language I set the type in Illustrator, convert the type to outlines, then import the AI file into AE as a composition.
Sometimes setting the type in Photoshop has also helped.
If you must have the fonts so you can use text animators try looking for OT fonts that fill the bill. Open OpenType fonts are a lot less problematic than Post Script or True Type fonts. Take a look HERE for some sources. I haven't checked out any of the fonts listed but it looks promising.
dear the main problem is keyboard in INPAGE2004 we use standard Phonetic keyboard and link which you gave it download the fonts and i copied it brings the urdu but not correct urdu suppose if we make a sentance (my name is chimi) in english it is ok and when i type it for urdu it brings different urdu wording not the correct wording, it type different type of urdu characters which makes no sense. It is possbile if i found a font which give me the correct wording as Phonetic keyboard give me in AE,

How to enter a new Date and Time each day in a Numbers Spreadsheet...

Hi... I have finally decided to move away from Excel and really give Numbers a shot... I have an application where each day I first enter the current date and time into a particular cell of a new row and then I enter some data in cells adjacent (in the same row) as that entered date-time. Then the next day I want to again enter the (new) current date and time and add more data next to that new date-time and so forth day after day... You can't use something as simple as =NOW() because then everyday, ALL of the date-times would change to the current time... Nope, now what I want... I just want to be able to EASILY and QUICKLY enter the current date-time value in one call and then have that specific value stay there forever... In Excel, this is accomplished with the keyboard shortcuts of
<cntl> followed by a semicolon (;) for the date
then enter a single space (for separation of date versus time) followed last by
<command> followed again by a semicolon...
So all together that is,
<cntl><;><sp><command><;>
and that puts something like
4/10/2010 9:49:00 AM
in a single cell...
That's what I now want to be able to do in Numbers...
How do I do that??? Do I use the menubar item "Insert Date and Time" and if so, how exactly do I get the current time to show up in the chosen cell??? With formatting??? Is there a keyboard shortcut method like the one I mentioned that works for Excel?? I've perused the manual and though I found lots on date-time, I didn't see how to do specifically what I want to do... I likely just missed it as surely it must be easy to do...
Any feedback would be much appreciated... thanks... bob...

This may be the problem.
The script is an old one which deciphered only the letter+digit cell references.
Here is a new version which works with every kind of cell reference.

Placez le curseur dans la cellule qui doit recevoir la date_heure

La cellule pointée reçoit la date_heure.
L'aide du Finder explique:
L'Utilitaire AppleScript permet d'activer le Menu des scripts :
Ouvrez l'Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
Cochez la case "Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus".
+++++++
Save the script as a Script : insertDateTime.scpt
Move the newly created application into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
Maybe you would have to create the folder Numbers and even the folder Applications by yourself.
Put the cursor in the cell which must receive the date_time.
menu Scripts > Numbers > insertDateTime
The pointed cell receives the current date_time.
The Finder's Help explains:
To make the Script menu appear:
Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
Select the "Show Script Menu in menu bar" checkbox.

How to insert XML/dtd data into oracle db

Hi,
I have posted this question on couple
sites and unfortunately I haven't received
any response. Hopefully this time,
someone can at least direct me to the
website/document/sample codes which can provide me solutions of my question.
My question is:
Given a DTD, can the XML SQL Utility generate
the database schema?
I am trying to find out how the XML data can
be loaded into the oracle database.
Thanks in advance,
Judy
null

A DTD does not contain enough information to do a good job at creating a database schema. It contains no datatype information, no field length information for starters, so a table created by a hypothetical DTD->to->Tables utility would be at best able to create a table with all VARCHAR2(4000) columns. Not that useful.
My book contains lots of examples of techniques for loading XML data into Oracle, include lots of sample code and a whole chapter devoted to building a flexible "XMLLoader" utility for loading XML of arbitrary size into the database.

How to get account expiry date for Oracle Directory Server?

I need to get the account expiry date for Oracle Directory server. Which attribute stores this value? Please let me also know the attribute type and how to fetch it.
Thanks,
Subrat

Hello,
Yes you can use nsAccountLock directly (When nsAccountLock=true, the object is inactivated and the user cannot log in)
This is documented in Modifying Directory Server’s NsAccountLockAttribute Directly (Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.2 In… (release number is old but it does not matter, Thats the first one Ive found)
You can also use dsutil account-inactivate as described in dsutil - 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.7.0)

How to get Business Event Data in Oracle Apps?

The WorkFlow 2.6.2 Guide states that the XML Get Tag Value activity used to retrieve data from the contents of an event message is available only for the standalone version of Oracle WorkFlow. How do you retrieve the data from the event message using WorkFlow integrated with the Oracle Applications?

Hi Don
You have 2 choices:
1) You could access it programmatically by writing your own Workflow Function Activity using PL/SQL.
2) Oracle XML Gateway gives you the ability to create XML and consume XML documents using the Workflow Business Event System.
Cheers

How to import MS Access Data to Oracle

At form level by clicking a push button I want to import Ms Access Data to Oracle . Is it possible.
If yes can you tell me how to proceed.

Done that like this :
you create a new ORACLE ODBC connection in the ODBC section of the control panel (you are in Windoze world, don't you?). After you open your Access database and do a file, export, external data, scroll down for ODBC and PICK A NAME FOR YOUR NEW ORACLE DATABASE IN CAPITAL LETTERS, you sign in and the export begin...
Have fun, and remember that if you have special caracter, like me in french, you must errase all of them, because you never know what it is gonna be in Oracle DB.

How to insert java.util.Date to Oracle by OraclePrepaidStatement
