Inserting Hex Characters using SQL

How do I insert a special character (e.g. LF (Hex 0A)) in a column using sql (column is varchar)?

CHR(10) corresponds to HEX(0A). The CHR function can be used to insert any non-printable character from the character set being used.

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.

Inserting Japanese characters to SQL Server via CFMX

What is necessary in the setup to save non-Latin characters
to SQL Server via CFMX form? The ColdFusion data source has the
Unicode option enabled (Enable Unicode for data sources configured
for non-Latin characters). The target field in the database is an
nvarchar. What else is necessary to properly insert and then later
display the non-Latin characters?
On Microsoft's site they describe the need to convert to and
from UCS-2 when accessing SQL Server via ASP. Is this type of
conversion relevant to CFMX?

- define db columns as "N" types
- ensure cf pages are utf-8 encoding:
--tag the files w/a BOM
--use
<cfprocessingDirective pageencoding="utf-8">
on each page
--use
<cfset setEncoding("form","utf-8")>
<cfcontent type="text/html; charset=utf-8">
in application.cfm or .cfc
- when doing INSERT/UPDATE make sure to use either unicode
hinting (N'text') or
cfqueryparam (making sure to turn on the unicode option for
that DSN in
cfadmin). cfqueryparam is the best choice.

nope the JDBC driver will handle that gruff. make sure you

(name as ms sql server in cfadmin) and NOT the odbc bridge

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?

how can i solve this problem?

You are not support use Insert / Update / Delete on SAP Databases directly.
SAP will not support any database, which is inconsistent, due to SQL-Queries, which modify datasets or the datastructure of the SAP Business One Database. This includes any update-, delete- or drop-statements executed via SQL-Server Tools or via the the query interface of SAP Business One

Insert a record using sql broker service

Hi Guys,
I need some samples to use sql broker service for creation of a record in other database in order to reduce the delay in creating number of records at the same time.

Hello,
In SQL Server Service Broker you can use the "Internal Activation" to start a stored procedure when a message comes in; in such a stored procedure you can do what ever you want to do, also inserting data into a table.

Replace invalid XML characters using SQL query

Hi,
I am populating a dataset in .net with output from sql 2005 database. One of the columns in the table is a 'varchar(max)' type. This dataset is then converted to XML using WriteXml and written to a .xml document. But due to the presence of invalid characters, this process errors out.
Is there any way using which these invalid characters can be replaced at the database level itself when querying on the table?
The error that is produced is as follows:
'', hexadecimal value 0x1C, is an invalid character. Line 32201, position 924.
Thanks,
Nisha

I see,
So we have a certain character that the XML processor does not like. What do you want to do with this character? Even if you manage to make an XML file wth this some how, you will get the same problem when another application tries to read it.
Probably you should replace those characters before converting the values to XML.
Another option is to put the values to the CDATA. This will be tough because the query might be little tricky. Here is an example that might help you.
Code Snippet
CREATE TABLE CDataTest (SomeValue NVARCHAR(50))
INSERT INTO CDataTest (SomeValue) SELECT 'Some Value ' + CHAR(25) + 'Some OtherValue'
SELECT * FROM CDataTest FOR XML AUTO, TYPE
error!!!
FOR XML could not serialize the data for node 'SomeValue' because it contains
a character (0x0019) which is not allowed in XML. To retrieve this data using
FOR XML, convert it to binary, varbinary or image data type and use the
BINARY BASE64 directive.
-- option using CDATA
SELECT
1
AS Tag,
NULL AS Parent,
(SELECT
SomeValue AS 'data()'
FROM CDataTest
FOR XML PATH('')) AS 'SomeValue!1!SomeValue!cdata'
FROM CDataTest
FOR XML EXPLICIT, TYPE
<SomeValue>
<SomeValue><![CDATA[Some Value Some OtherValue]]></SomeValue>
</SomeValue>

How to insert ascii characters using dom

I am having a tough time inserting ascii values in to xml text content
i search for a regular space and try insert a non breaking space in my xml whic is basically �
Infact I want to insert the ascii value of a non breaking space or for that matter ascii value of any character, I am using dom level 2.
in the code the actual replace ment string is the ascii code, somehow when I click preview, it actually shows the space instead showing the what I have in my actual code, so i had to separate in the ascii and ; in my code snippet that follows
String text = nl.item(i).getNodeValue();
            System.out.println(text);
            String newText = text.replaceAll("\\s", "� followed by a ;");
            nl.item(i).setNodeValue(newText)it actually inserts   in the xml code for the xml document and literally "&#160 followed by ;" appears in my document when viewed from a browser, all I am trying to do is replace a given character with an ascii value using dom. All i tried to do was replace a regular space with a non breaking space.
&nbsp won't work either, infact i tried ascii values for other characters too, i end up having the ascii value in the tag when i view the finished document in a browser.
Please help

As jtahlborn says, NBSP isn't an ASCII character. But this is Java we're working with, and XML. Neither of those two things have ever restricted themselves to the ASCII character set, and neither should you. They use Unicode, which is far larger and which does include that character. You could go to [the Unicode site|http://www.unicode.org/] and do some research -- which might broaden your horizons a lot -- but the code point for that character is (not surprisingly) 160. That's A0 in hexadecimal, so the Java character representing it ischar nbsp = '\u00a0';So use that in your code. Just make sure to output the XML document in an encoding that supports it (unlike ASCII). UTF-8 would be an excellent choice.

Insert multiple rows using sql at the same time

I have searched a lot from the forum, but found nothing.

Any suggestion will be great appreciate!

INSERT INTO SYSTEM_USER_GROUP (ID_user_group,ID_USER,ID_GROUP)
(SELECT seq_system_user_group.NEXTVAL, ID_USER, ID_GROUP,
FROM SYSTEM_USER)

------------>>>
I think that seq_system_user_group is a scheme level of oracle, so if you select it from a table, there will not work.
Thank you all the same!
Can i create that sequence as a column of one table? if that is the case, then my problem will be resolved.

Inserting and retrieving data from a al32UTF8 database USING SQL Developer

hi guys,
Before i post my questions , i think its better for me to provide you guys with my understandings first so that it easier to understand where/if i have gone wrong..
I am using Window XP and Oracle 10g
Non-unicode client - a client program that need to use the OS code page for mapping of the retrieved unicode data from the database as well as the support of displaying/inserting the characters from that code page to the database.
E.G sqlplusw.exe
Therefore, when using a non-unicode client
1) we have to set the OS code page (Control panel - regional and language setting - advance - language for non unicode program ) to the code page that contain the characters we are going to display/insert.
2) we will also have to set the NLS_LANG characterset to the character set of the code page we are going to insert so that when we do a insert (for e.g in thai ) , oracle will know, and auto conversion to UNICODE can take place. This is also true when we retrieve unicode data from the database so that conversion to the correct character set can take place.
INSERTING
THAI ---> conversion ----> UNICODE
RETRIEVING
THAI <---- conversion <---- UNICODE
I hope my basic understanding is correct up till this point.
Unicode client - a client program that supports the displaying/inserting of unicode characters without the need of setting the OS code page (Control panel - regional and language setting - advance - language for non unicode program )
E.G isqlplus http or SQL developer
However,
1) There is still a need to set the NLS_LANG so that correct conversion can take place between the client and the database.
For e.g, when retrieving if we set the NLS_LANG character set to ZHS16GBK (chinese) and the data store in unicode in database is E.G (THAI) , then the conversion would be wrong .
Since it is a unicode supported client, then the NLS_LANG character set should be set to UNICODE as well.
Here come my questions
*Important - please help if you are busy and have no other time to answer the rest of the questions
*Q1) If i were to use a unicode client, what should i set my NLS_LANG character set to ?
AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8 ?
*Q2) Where do i set the NLS_LANG character set information in SQL Developer, i know there is a metalink for setting NLS_LANG using isqlplus but i cant seems to google any result for SQL developer.
Q3) Is my basic understanding right until this point ? If not, please explain in a more generalised term as i am really not familiar with character sets, code page, unicode , glyphs and fonts..
Q4) If a unicode client does not need to refer to the OS code page (set in regional and language) , is there a UNICODE code page for the client to refer to , or is there any Window API available ?
Q5)
There is still a need to set the NLS_LANG so that correct conversion can take place between the client and the >>database.
For e.g, when retrieving if we set the NLS_LANG character set to ZHS16GBK (chinese) and the data store in >>unicode in database is E.G (THAI) , then the conversion would be wrong .am i right on this point for UNICODE supported client ?
Thanks for spending time to read my questions and i hope to hear advices from you guys soon.
Million thanks again for sharing.
Best Regards,
Noob but willing to learn

The requirement to always set NLS_LANG is not true for JDBC, which ignores NLS_LANG altogether. Java programs fetch text data into String variables, which use Unicode UTF-16 by design. JDBC sets character set conversion so that data is converted between UTF-16 and the database or national character set.
The requirement to set NLS_LANG is not generally true for OCI, either. The first call in an OCI problem can be OCIEnvNlsCreate(). This call has two parameters that allow the caller to define the character set to use for VARCHAR2/CHAR/LONG/CLOB/statement text and the character set to use for NVARCHAR2/NCHAR/NCLOB. Only if these character sets are specified as 0, NLS_LANG character set is used. Also, OCI programs can specify different character sets for each bind or define variable (i.e. input/output buffer). Note: OCI programs always use NLS_LANG to initialize the language and territory settings for the client program and the database session. Only the character set can be specified is OCIEnvNlsCreate().
OCIEnvNlsCreate() can specify the client character set as UTF-16 (in platform endianess). This is not possible with NLS_LANG.
Various interfaces building on OCI, such as Oracle ODBC and ODP .NET, explicitly initialize OCI with Unicode character set, and thus ignore the NLS_LANG character set as well.
Thnx,
Sergiusz

Using SQL*Loader to Load Russian and Chinese Characters

We are testing our new 11.2.0.1 database using Oracle Linux 6. We created the database using the AL32UTF8 NLS Character set. We have tried using sqlldr to insert a few records that contain Russian and Chinese characters as a test. We can not seem to get them into the database in the correct format. For example, we can see the correct characters in the file we are trying to load on the Linux server, but once we load them into a table in the database, some of the characters are not displayed correctly (using SQL*Developer to select them out).
We can set the values within a column on the table by inserting them into the table and then select them out and they are correect, so it appears the problem is not in the database, but in the way sqlldr inserts them. We have tried several settings on the Linux server to set the NLS_LANG environment to AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8, AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8, etc. without success.
Can someone provide us with any guidance on this? Would really appreciate any advice as to what we are not getting here.
Thanks!!

The characterset of the database does not change the language used in your input data file. The character set of the datafile can be set up by using the NLS_LANG parameter or by specifying a SQL*Loader CHARACTERSET parameter. I suggest to move this question to the appropriate forum: Export/Import/SQL Loader & External Tables for closer topic alignment.

Issue of inserting greek characters into Oracle database using ICAN505

Hi All,
We are currently facing an issue of inserting greek characters into Oracle database using ICAN505.
We receive a file containing greek characters.The values from the file should be inserted into the database.We are reading the file using file OTD with default encoding.
The file can contain english characters too other than greek characters.
The database NLS_CHARACTERSET is AL32UTF8.
When I insert using an insert statement directly ,the values get inserted properly into the DB table.
Inserting the same values using code results in improper characters getting inserted into the table in the database.
Please help....
Thanks in advance !!

Globalization forum?
Globalization Support
It works for SQL Developer, which does not depend on NLS_LANG, so I suspect a problem with your NLS settings.
