How to find Client Character set?

Hi,
I need to connect to remote database which is having different character set than the client. Ia there any method to display client character and Database character set from SQL Plus? Could someone please help me.
Thanks in Advance
Sree.

I guess you're using PL/SQL Developer?
(because I get that warning message too ;) )
The warning also continues with:
You can set the client character set thought the NLS_LANG environment variable or the NLS_LANG registry key.
If I execute some scripts from client (client character set WE8MSWIN1252 and database character set UTF8) will
it cause any problem?It depends on what kind of data you're loading/importing. (chinese characters for example)
I never had any problems at all, since I'm not using 'exotic' characters.

How to find base character from an accented character

Hi, given an accented character (�, �, �, etc...) is there a way to retrieve its base character? In the case above, a, o and c respectivelly?
I searched in this forum and google and didn't find a definitive answer.
The reason i need this is because in my database, some records have accented content, and now i need to generate a textfile to transfer daily to a bank, but the bank doesn't accept accented characters.
Thanks.

Decompose the Unicode string -- i.e., perform an NFC transformation -- and then strip off the diacritical marks, as done in VietPad editor.
There is a native class, java.text.Normalizer, but it is not made public until Mustang release.

How to find out how many space character in setence (string var) ?

Dear all Master,
I need Your help please.
Topic:
Script Editor.
My System:
-CUCM 7.0
-UCCX 7.0 premium
-Nuance recognizer 9.0
Question:
ABC = string var.
ABC = "this is sample"
2 space character in ABC string var.
How to find out how many space character in ABC var ?
Regards,
Susanto

Hi
Create a int variable called whatever you want, then insert a SET step.
Set the variable to the new int you created, and then paste this into the 'value' field:
String[] myarray = teststring.split(" ");
return myarray.length -1 ;
Basically it splits the string into chunks each time it hits the " " character.
This results in an array of the resulting chunks (i.e. words), which is one more than the number of spaces. -1 from that, and you have your int variable set to the number of spaces.

How to find unicode equialent for a dbcs character

I have one requirement from client to display DBCS ( Chinese, Japanese, etc.., ) characters in their equivalent unicode format. Every DBCS character should be displayed like &#xxx; in XML. In our project we create the XML dynamically. When we get the data initially we get it in DBCS. We need to convert that DBCS data character by character to the corresponding unicode values and put it in the XML that we create.
My questions are :
How to find out whether a particular character is a unicode character first ?
I need your help on how to find the unicode equivalent values for each dbcs character ?

Hopefully you get that data in some charset. You should not have to deal with low-level character conversion, just read the data into strings using that charset. (You can use the form of InputStreamReader that takes a charset name as the second parameter.) Put the strings into XML and when you write out the XML, the serializer will take care of putting valid and consistent data into the document. (That's assuming you're using a serializer that somebody else wrote and not just plain old Java I/O.)
Looks to me like the hard part will be getting your client to tell you what charset the data is encoded in.

That is happening the same here that is , I have a object saying that 10 chars product will have some grouping{(Ex: ABCD Z) (this can be seen in the path sap menu legal->customs mgmnt->master data->maintain products->display->legal control tab)} ,for this 10 char prroduct i have to find 12,13 and 15 char products first(for example0010101213 ---10 chars product
0010101213S21---13 chars product
0010101213B1225--15 chars product ) and then check the grouping for these 12,13 and 15 products.
After that if there is no grouping for these 12,13 and 15 products, i have to assign 10 char product grouping to all three types of products.
that is the main requirement.
If not ths is clear please let me know.
My qyestion here is
1) how to find 12,13 and 15 chars product for a 10 char product for example

How to find Special Characters in a single query

Dear Experts,
Your usual help is required to solve the query.My query is "How to find all special characters like (%$*&@,;'/+- etc. in a single query?"

What are "special characters"? Can you list all of them?
Do you want to find rows where string_column contains any of the special characters? If so
SELECT     string_column
FROM     table_x
WHERE     string_column     != NVL ( TRANSLATE ( string_column
                                    , 'A(%$*&@,;'/+-'
                            , 'A'
                      , 'A'
;I assume 'A' is not a special character.
You could also use regular expressions, but it will be more efficient if you don't use them unless you really need to.
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements), and the results you want from that data.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say what version of Oracle you're using (e.g. 11.2.0.2.0).
See the forum FAQ {message:id=9360002}
You'll get better replies sooner if you always include this information whenever you have a question.
