Chinese Characters in SQL Plus

Hi, I wonder how do I input the chinese characters in SQL plus? I have set the NLS_LANG value to chinese characterset in the REGEDIT but it doesn't display the chinese characters. Is there any chinese version on Oracle JDeveloper Suite?
Cheers

i have installed sqlplus and oracle db in the same PC under chinese win xp.
i found that if you spool the output to a text file, and type in dos-prompt, it still cannot display the chinese character properly. but if you open the text file by notepad, bingo, you can the chinese character.
i think that it is because dos-prompt application is non-unicode application. so it could not display unicode character properly.
as a result, if you want to display unicode character in non-unicode application (run sqlplus under dos-prompt), you have to set the NLS_LANG environment variable which match the character set of non-unicode application which your operating system assigned. in my case, it should be Big5. then oracle would do the conversion for you automatically, i.e. from unicode in DB to Big5 in client.
I either set the NLS_LANG environment variable in one of the 2 ways:
NLS_LANG=american_america.zht16big5 or
NLS_LANG=american_america.zht16hkscs

Displaying Chinese characters in SQL*Plus

DB version: 11.2
OS Version : AIX 6.1
DB characterset:AL32UTF8
To display chinese characters in SQL*Plus, I did the following:
$ export LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8
$ export LC_ALL=zh_CN.GB2312
$ export NLS_LANG="SIMPLIFIED CHINESE_CHINA.ZHS16GBK"
$
$ sqlplus / as sysdba

²Ý ----------------------------------------> Getting a junk character instead of chinese If I was using putty, are the above steps enough to get chinese characters displayed ?
Our ssh client is Tectia (not putty).
According the below ML Note, the SSH client has to configured correctly to use globalization features.
+The correct NLS_LANG setting in Unix Environments [ID 264157.1]+
Googling "Tectia + Chinese" didn't return useful results

I understand that you are talking about Windows SSH Client.
For Putty, you should set:
$ export LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8
$ export LC_ALL=zh_CN.UTF-8
$ export NLS_LANG="SIMPLIFIED CHINESE_CHINA.AL32UTF8"
and configure Putty in Window->Translation to use UTF-8.
There is nothing about this subject on Tectia website and in their manuals, so my best guess is that the client requires Windows code page to work correctly. In such case you need to set your Windows system default locale (locale for non-Unicode programs) to Chinese and use the following settings on the server:
$ export LANG=zh_CN.GBK
$ export LC_ALL=zh_CN.GBK
$ export NLS_LANG="SIMPLIFIED CHINESE_CHINA.ZHS16GBK"
Verify with 'locale -a' that the setting zh_CN.GBK is supported on your system.

INSERTing chinese characters in SQL*plus

Db version: 10gR2
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET for my DB is AL16UTF16 by which i can store chinese characters. To INSERT using SQL*Plus, i tried to copy and paste some chinese characters from internet. When the characters get pasted, it becomes '?????' (question marks). What else do i have to set to store Chinese characters?
SQL> CREATE TABLE EMP2
2   (EMPNO NUMBER,
3   ENAME NVARCHAR2(500));
Table created.
SQL> Insert into emp2(empno,ename) values(889,UNISTR('????'));
1 row created.
SQL> COMMIT;
Commit complete.
SQL> SELECT * FROM EMP2;
     EMPNO ENAME
       889 ????

Actually, it looks like Forums do something strange to URLs pasted into posts. Sorry!
The thread URL is Re: store/retrieve data in lang other than eng when CHARACTERSET is not UTF8

Insert more than 4000 characters using sql plus

I have a SQL script that creates a database. The problem is that some of the fields are longer than 4000 characters in the INSERT statement and Oracle doesn't seem to like it.
The field is a clob and works fine in the application (i.e. I can insert more than 4000 characters using the app) - how do I achieve this in a SQL script?
Any help is much appreciated.
Cheers,
Steve

Hi,
This pl/sql block works absolutely fine in SQL*Plus inserting > 4000 characters into clob column:
declare
l_str varchar2(8000);
l_str1 varchar2(2400) := 'first part of the verly long string...';
l_str2 varchar2(2400) := 'second part of the verly long string...';
begin
l_str := l_str1 || l_str2;
insert into tmpl values (l_str);
end;
So, you'll have to replace inserts with pl/sql blocks in your script.

Input truncated to 105 characters

I am running a long sql select statement from a file using the command
start myfile.sql;
and get the above message. My sql statement seems to be running but because it is a very complicated one, I cant gauge if I am getting what the select statement requires or if I am only getting the result for the first 105 characters and the rest of my statement is being ignored. Is there a limit to the number of characters in an sql*plus command? If yes, how do I run a long select statement that is longer than the limit? Tx for the help,
Enis

try entering a carriage return after your "/" or ";" in the .sql file that is being called. that should get rid of that message.

Displaying non-ascii characters in SQL Plus Windows

Hi,
is it possible to display data from more than language at the same time in SQL Plus? Or can you do this only one language at the time?
Thanks,

I think this question is better suited to the globalization discussion forum, Technologies -> Architecture -> Globalization and NLS. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Input truncated to 1 characters

I am constantly getting this message when I run a SQL/PLUS command.
Any ideas? Is this a parameter setting I need to update?
Help!!

Make sure that the file you are running has a carriage return after the last line of code, so that there is a new blank line, but no extra spaces or lines after that. This message occurrs when the last line of the file with command text on it does not have a new blank line after it, or when there are extra spaces or lines after that. For example, if you have:
SELECT columns
FROM table
<-- your cursor should be here when you save the file.
If you hold the delete key, while the cursor is in the position indicated above, it will delete any extra spaces or lines that you cannot see, that can cause the message. Make sure that your cursor is on the line after the last line of code, not on the same line as the / or ; that ends it.
This message is actually harmless, so you can just ignore it, but if you find it annoying or confusing and want to get rid of it, the above should do it.

How to "end" function definition in SQL plus?

I am using Oracle 11g and SQL plus.
I am trying to define a function and get back to the SQL prompt, but it is just not exiting the function definition.
SQL> create function dept_count (dept_name varchar(20))
2 returns integer
3 begin
4 declare d_count integer;
5 select count (* ) into d_count
6 from instructor
7 where instructor.dept_name = dept_name
8 return d_count;
9 end
10 ;
11
12
13
14
15
16 ;;;
17 end dept_count;
18 ;
19
20 ; <--- I was expecting the SQL> prompt here but it doesn't appear.
What should I do? Please help. Thanks.

And, to answer probably the most frequently asked question when I was an Oracle instructor ...
If you are saving this statement in a file to execute later, after the "/" at the bottom, hit return, so that your file contains a line feed after the /, rather than your file ending with the /
Otherwise you get the annoying, but completely harmless, error message "Input truncated after (number) characters" when you compile the program.

Why The message Input truncated to - - - -

When we run pl/sql program some times it will give a messae input truncated to n characters. Why it will come. If we don't want this one what we have to do.
Please help me
Thanks

This occurs because the last line of the script does not have a
carriage return. It is a harmless message. Add a carriage
return to the final line of your script and the message should
not occur.
I believe it no longer occurs in SQL*Plus 9.0.1

SQL*Plus displays European chars incorrectly when using Net*8 to query remote DB

I have two 8.1.5 DBs, one on Win2k and one on RedHat Linux 6.2. I can successfully insert and retreive Western European characters fine on each of those systems using SQL*Plus and Net*8, provided that I am connecting to the local DB. I can also insert these characters fine while using SQL*Plus and Net*8 between the systems.
The failure shows up when I try to view (select) the Western European characters using SQL*Plus on the Win2k system while querying the data on the Linux system (via Net*8). What gets displayed is the 7-bit ASCII truncated-equivalent of the character. I have verified that the data is commited and can be viewed correctly when a query is issued from the Linux system.
Has anyone encountered anything like this??
Any advice would be appreciated.

I am confused about your questions .
I have two 8.1.5 DBs. I can successfully insert and retreive Western European characters fine on each of those systems using SQL*Plus and Net*8, provided that I am connecting to the local DB. What is local db ? Do you mean you need to use dblink to connect from one database to another ? Or do you mean local machines ?
The failure shows up when I try to view (select) the Western European characters using SQL*Plus on the Win2k system while querying the data on the Linux system (via Net*8). Do you mean selecting data from the 8.1.5 DB on Linux from SQL*Plus on Win2K ?
What are your db character sets ?
What are your NLS_LANG enviroment settings ?
Which datatypes are you using ? If NCHAR , what are your national database character sets ?

Input Truncated Problem

Dear all,
I have seen the "input truncated to n characters" messages on the forum here but my problem is a little different. When I run a sql from a file locally everything works fine. When I send the file to a customer for them to run on their database they get the following message:
SQL> @c:\sql\sql_to_run.sql
Package created.
Warning: Package Body created with compilation errors.
Input truncated to 1 characters
Trigger created.All of the messages on the forum that I have seen relate to this message appearing when a space is at the end of the file. Obviously this is happening in the middle of the file. Also, no matter how many spaces/linefeeds I do or donot put in I cannot duplicate this problem locally. Any suggestions would be helpful.

. Since you said input truncated is harmless, I assume it cannot have anything to do with the "Warning: Package Body created with compilation errorsIt may be that the Warning causes the input truncated, although it seems unlikely. You could try reproducing your customer's environment by setting the COMPATIBLE parameter to 8.1.7.
Cheers, APC

Input truncated message

Does anyone know why when doing multiple inserts into a table you sometimes get the "input truncated to 3 characters" message. I can't find any documentation on it. Thanks.

probably, one of the columns in the table is only 3 character long and value for that column ( in some of the records being inserted) is exceeding 3 characters.

What is your client operating system characterset?

SQL *Plus input buffer

I have a large script that works fine on my oracle server. When I bring it to my clients, it gets truncated after around 60 lines. I know how to increase the output buffer (EXEC DBS_Output.Enable(10000) for 10000 lines) but I can't seem to find the equivalent for the input buffer. Please help.

Are you using SQL Plus client, then you need to change the buffer size on the menu of the SQL Plus window.
