How to insert multi-lingual information into an NVARCHAR column

Hi,
I've searched through the forum but couldn't find an answer, and have spent days on this already.
I have a Java Web Application, and the user may enter information in any language into one of the forms. I need to collect the user-input, and insert it into an Oracle 10g database.
My database settings:
WE8ISO8859P1 for Char/VarChar/CLOB fields and
AL16UTF16 for Nchar/Nvarchar/NCLOB fields
I have defined the columns that require multi-lingual support to be NVARCHAR.
My question is, how do I insert into this column? From what I read, it seems that no conversion needs to be done, but doing this:
update <table> set <column> = '什么'
does not work. The '什么' is some Chinese characters I copied and pasted from a Chinese site.
Apparently, if I convert the Chinese characters to a hex string and do this:
update <table> set <column> = unistr('\xxxx')
then it will work.
However, is there a way to avoid doing this conversion and let Oracle handles the conversion?
Thanks in advance,
Elaine

Hi Denes,
I saw the example in your workspace and it is the same what exactly i want and instead of storing in one column i want to store the two selected values into two different columns. Also i need to restrict the selection of checkboxes upto 2 only. So If the user tries to select the third check box it doesnt have to accept.
Even I am ready to change my table as according to your example i.e. creating only one column. Store the values of selection into that column.
I was unable to see how u wrote the logic (Code) for your example in your workspace. It helps alot if you provide me the code for that example(Multi Checkbox One Column).
I was facinated after watching your examples in your workspace and am very much interested to know more about Apex.
Please help me insolving this as it is long pending issue for my requirement.
Thanks a lot again,
Sekhar.

    hi all
    can anyone guide me how to insert a image file into oracle database now

    but when inserting i totally lost don't know what to do how to write query to insert image file

    Hi I don't have time to explain really, I did have to do this a while ago though so I will post a code snippet. This is using the commons file upload framework.
    Firstly you need a multi part form data (if you are using a web page). If you are not using a web page ignore this bit.
    out.println("<form name=\"imgFrm\" method=\"post\" enctype=\"multipart/form-data\" action=\"FileUploadServlet?thisPageAction=reloaded\" onSubmit=\"return submitForm();\"><input type=\"FILE\" name=\"imgSource\" size='60' class='smalltext' onKeyPress='return stopUserInput();' onKeyUp='stopUserInput();' onKeyDown='stopUserInput();' onMouseDown='noMouseDown(event);'>");
    out.println("   <input type='submit' name='submit' value='Submit' class='smalltext'>");
    out.println("</form>"); Import this once you have the jar file:
    import org.apache.commons.fileupload.*;Now a method I wrote to upload the file. I am not saying that this is correct, or its the best way to do this. I am just saying it works for me.
    private boolean uploadFile(HttpServletRequest request, HttpSession session) throws Exception {
            boolean result = true;
            String fileName = null;
            byte fileData[] = null;
            String fileUploadError = null;
            String imageType = "";
            String error = "";
            DiskFileUpload fb = new DiskFileUpload();
            List fileItems = fb.parseRequest(request);
            Iterator it = fileItems.iterator();
            while(it.hasNext()){
                FileItem fileItem = (FileItem)it.next();
                if (!fileItem.isFormField()) {
                    fileName = fileItem.getName();
                    fileData = fileItem.get();
                    // Get the imageType from the filename extension
                    if (fileName != null) {
                        int dotPos = fileName.indexOf('.');
                        if (dotPos >= 0 && dotPos != fileName.length()-1) {
                            imageType = fileName.substring(dotPos+1).toLowerCase();
                            if (imageType.equals("jpg")) {
                                imageType = "jpeg";
            String filePath = request.getParameter("FILE_PATH");
            session.setAttribute("filePath", filePath);
            session.setAttribute("fileData", fileData);
            session.setAttribute("fileName", fileName);
            session.setAttribute("imageType", imageType);
            return result;  
         } And now finally the method to actually write the file to the database:
    private int writeImageFile(byte[] fileData, String fileName, String imageType, String mode, Integer signatureIDIn, HttpServletRequest request) throws Exception {
            //If the previous code found a file that can be uploaded then
            //save it into the database via a pstmt
            String sql = "";
            UtilDBquery udbq = getUser(request).connectToDatabase();
            Connection con = null;
            int signatureID = 0;
            PreparedStatement pstmt = null;
            try {
                udbq.setUsePreparedStatements(true);
                con = udbq.getPooledConnection();
                con.setAutoCommit(false);
                if((!mode.equals("U")) || (mode.equals("U") && signatureIDIn == 0)) {
                    sql = "SELECT SEQ_SIGNATURE_ID.nextval FROM DUAL";
                    pstmt = con.prepareStatement(sql);
                    ResultSet rs = pstmt.executeQuery();
                    while(rs.next()) {
                       signatureID = rs.getInt(1);
                    if (fileName != null && imageType != null) {
                        sql = "INSERT INTO T_SIGNATURE (SIGNATURE_ID, SIGNATURE) values (?,?)";
                        InputStream is2 = new ByteArrayInputStream(fileData);
                        pstmt = con.prepareStatement(sql);
                        pstmt.setInt(1, signatureID);
                        pstmt.setBinaryStream(2, is2, (int)(fileData.length));
                        pstmt.executeUpdate();
                        pstmt.close();
                        con.commit();
                        con = null;
                if(mode.equals("U") && signatureIDIn != 0) {
                    signatureID = signatureIDIn.intValue();
                    if (fileName != null && imageType != null) {

  • Could someone help me out how to insert a Node properly into a DOM?

    I am trying to insert a Node built from a String to a DOM.

                   prolog = "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>";

                   if( Detail != null ){
                        Detail = prolog + BiometricDetail;
                        DetailDoc = xp.XML2DOM( BiometricDetail ); // transform a XML String into a DOM.
                        DetailNode = BiometricDetailDoc.getDocumentElement();                    
    Here is how I created the DOM
                   javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory factory = javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
                   javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();

    Could someone help me out at how to insert a Node properly into a DOM? Thank you very much.

    Said another way, importNode actually only makes and returns a copy of the node you gave it (it will be a deep copy only if you pased true as the second parameter), but where the new dom you called import on is owner.
    So what you need to do is more like this:
    Node tempNode = domYouAreAddingTheNodeTo.importNode(node2copy,true); //true if you want a deep copy
    domYouAreAddingTheNodeTo.appendNode(tempNode);You can also traverse to any point in the DOM and insert the node there with the same method, but you always have to import first so that the DOM has a copy of the node that it owns.

  • How to insert a tumbler blog into muse web site?

    Hey I was wondering if you know how to insert a tumbler blog into adobe muse? I have a tumbler account but would like to use it in adobe muse. how can I add it to my blog page in muse for desktop?

    Goto your Tumblr account and then view it when you're logged out ... the URL link should look something like this?:
    http://my-tumblr-blog.tumblr.com
    Now copy & paste that URL link and insert it into this code snippet:
    <iframe src="http://my-tumblr-blog.tumblr.com" onLoad="calcHeight();" scrolling="YES" frameborder="0" width="660" height="950" name="resize" id="resize"></iframe>
    Now copy and paste this edited snippet into the Muse page where you want your Blog ... set the correct width and height in the code (see above) to fit your page ...
    Cutomize it:
    I would suggest customizing your Blog with the built-in customize HTML section to tweak the embedded Blog page ... i.e. turn off some of the Tumblr sections like Header, Description, etc, if you don't want them ...
    Better still go over to this Tumblr Theme site and create a nice custom theme where you can do it all yourself ...
    Then after that still use the snippet code above once you have copied & pasted the new customised Tumblr HTML into you Tumblr Blog:
    http://www.totallylayouts.com/tumblr-generator/
    The art is to streamline your Blog as much as possible so you get the most screen estate shown in Muse, because as an inserted iFrame widget you do lose a bit ...

    How can I add gps information into my pictures?
    I understand Photos doens't have this feature.
    Só how could I do it with an external application. Is it possible? Can I even use iPhoto with the same library (since they share stuff) to do it?

    Photos does not support to add location information yet.
    Add the GPS before you import the photos to Photos. I hope this will change with the next release.
    You could ,for example, first import to iPhoto, add the locations, batch change the titles and captions, do all the things that are not yet supported in the new Photos, then export the photos from iPhoto and import them to Photos.
    Or use the free exiftool, if you like the Terminal.

  • How to insert sales text (MM02) into a single record of a Ztable.

    Hi,
    I'm extracting data from different data base tables and populating a Ztable which has Matnr as primary key and sales text as a field.

  • How to insert 3D Model data into an EPUB file?

    Afternoon,
    I am trying to insert a 3D model into an epub document. Does anybody know how to do this either within InDesign or with any other Adobe Program? The model I have is a Sketchup model and any export file type I try cannot be opened directly within InDesign.
    In terms of working with an EPUB file Mac had the ibooks Author software which lets you insert Collada data and view a 3D Model within an ebook however this only lets me maintain my file as a ibook but in terms of the business I need to maintain EPUB compatibility as they are more uniformly compatible across our clientèle.
    Can anyone shed some light on how to achieve the output I require?
    Spoke to adobe support and they expressed about using 3rd party external coders to achieve this but i know very little about code unfortunately.
    Regards,
    G

    InDesign doesn't natively support placing 3D models. It would have to be done with coding. If you can't do the coding yourself, you may have to pay for the service from an EPUB coding expert. You could also investigate third party EPUB software to see if they support it. Here is a recently-mentioned example (I don't know if they support it):

    You can't do it with JavaScript. You need to use a
    server-side language
    like ASP, ASP.NET, ColdFusion, or PHP. Dreamweaver automates
    a lot of
    the process for you, but you need to choose your server model
    first.
    It sounds as though you are completely new to this. First ask
    your
    hosting company whether it supports a server-side language,
    and if so,
    which one. Then open Dreamweaver help (F1) and read the
    section titled
    "Preparing to Build Dynamic Sites".
    Working with server-side languages and databases isn't
    difficult, but
    it's not something you can pick up in five minutes or be
    shown how to do
    in a couple of forum posts.
    If you can't make up your mind which server-side language to
    use,
    ASP.NET is the most difficult of the four I mentioned. ASP is
    popular,
    but is no longer actively developed, so will eventually die
    out
    (although it will take many years to do so). ColdFusion and
    PHP are
    relatively easy to learn. I prefer PHP, but all of them do
    basically the
    same thing. However, you must choose one; they cannot be
    mixed.
