When executing a script including special french characters with SQL*Plus (or with a job of Cloud Control) the result in the database shows up wrong:
e.g. FR R�au instead of FR Réseau
When checking the HEX-code of the special french characters in the script these are correct:
é => E9
Setting the environment variable NLS_LANG to FRENCH_FRANCE.UTF8 before executing the script does not make any difference at all.
When checking the sign � in the string FR R�au with the dump function of SQL*Plus I get this result:
Typ=1 Len=3 CharacterSet=UTF8: e9,73,65
Seems to be OK - but why does it get displayed wrong? Is the client - in our case a application - responsible for the "how to display"?
Any help will be appreciated!

Hi,
If you have My Oracle support access I suggest to check one of following two documents:
Oracle Metalink: The correct NLS_LANG in a Windows Environment Doc ID: 179133.1
Oracle Metalink: The correct NLS_LANG setting in Unix Environments Doc ID: 264157.1
depending your env.
Check your data using SQL Developer and see if it displays well. If yes your data is ok in db.

Insert french characters into the database
Hi,
My user requirement is to insert french characters into the db. However he has set as per my suggestion of altering session alter session set nls_language='french' he can't insert french characters. Is this using alter session helps to retrieve only the outputs in french language or to insert too?
Please help.

Problem inserting text with special Hungarian characters into MySQL database
When I insert text into my MySQL db the special Hungarian
characters (ő,ű) they change into "?".
When I check the
<cfoutput>#FORM.special_character#</cfoutput> it gives
me the correct text, things go wrong just when writing it into the
db. My hosting provider said the following: "please try to
evidently specify "latin2" charset with "latin2_hungarian_ci"
collation when performing any operations with tables. It is
supported by the server but not used by default." At my former
hosting provider I had no such problem. Anyway how could I do what
my hosting provider has suggested. I read a PHP related article
that said use "SET NAMES latin2". How could I do such thing in
ColdFusion? Any suggestion? Besides I've tried to use UTF8 and
Latin2 character encoding both on my pages and in the db but with
not much success.
I've also read a French language message here in this forum
that suggested to use:
<cfscript>
setEncoding("form", "utf-8");
setEncoding("url", "utf-8");
</cfscript>
<cfcontent type="text/html; charset=utf-8">
I' ve changed the utf-8 to latin2 and even to iso-8859-2 but
didn't help.
Thanks, AronI read that it would be the most straightforward way to do
everything in UTF-8 because it handles well special characters so
I've tried to set up a simple testing environment. Besides I use CF
MX7 and my hosting provider creates the dsn for me so I think the
db driver is JDBC but not sure.
1.) In Dreamweaver I created a page with UTF-8 encoding set
the Unicode Normalization Form to "C" and checked the include
unicode signature (BOM) checkbox. This created a page with the meta
tag: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=utf-8" />. I've checked the HTTP header with an online
utility at delorie.com and it gave me the following info:
HTTP/1.1, Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8, Server:
Microsoft-IIS/6.0
2.) Then I put the following codes into the top of my page
before everything:
<cfprocessingdirective pageEncoding = "utf-8">
<cfset setEncoding("URL", "utf-8")>
<cfset setEncoding("FORM", "utf-8")>
<cfcontent type="text/html; charset=utf-8">
3.) I wrote some special Hungarian chars
(<p>őű</p>) into the page and they displayed
well all the time.
4.) I've created a simple MySQL db (MySQL Community Edition
5.0.27-community-nt) on my shared hosting server with phpMyAdmin
with default charset of UTF-8 and choosing utf8_hungarian_ci as
default collation. Then I creted a MyISAM table and the collation
was automatically applied to my varchar field into wich I stored
data with special chars. I've checked the properties of the MySQL
server in MySQL-Front prog and found the following settings under
the Variables tab: character_set_client: utf8,
character_set_connection: utf8, character_set_database: latin1,
character_set_results: utf8, character_set_server: latin1,
character_set_system: utf8, collation_connection: utf8_general_ci,
collation_database: latin1_swedish_ci, collation_server:
latin1_swedish_ci.
5.) I wrote a simple insert form into my page and tried it
using both the content of the form field and a hardcoded string
value and even tried to read back the value of the
#FORM.special_char# variable. In each cases the special Hungarian
chars changed to "q" or "p" letters.
Can anybody see something wrong in the above mentioned or
have an idea to test something else?
I am thinking about to try this same page against a db on my
other hosting providers MySQL server.
Here is the to the form:

Problem inserting special Hungarian characters into db

Thanks, AronSome new info about the advancements in my project:
I've tried to make the insertion at a third hosting
provider's MySQL server with my 'everything is UTF-8' test case and
IT'S DONE! There are my lovely spec chars :-)
Then I've checked the char encoding according -Per's tip in
all of my so far used test MySQL dbs and it reported that
'CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_hungarian_ci' so this part seems to me
OK.
I asked my hosting provider where my production app should
run about the db driver and they told it's JDBC (what version of
Jconnect still donno') and they are ready to append
&characterSetResults=UTF-8 to the JDBC url connection string
(somebody told this tip also as a possible soultion) but they asked
me to provide the complete connection string to be used for my
datasource. I've tried to compose it in my localhost development
environment in ColdFusion Admin but it gave me a Connection
verification failed error. So I think I did something wrong and
need help to write the correct connection string that can be passed
to the hosting provider. So the connection string structure I tried
to use in the JDBC URL field of the datasource area of CFAdmin is
something like this:
jdbc:mysql://someipaddresshere/mydbname&characterSetResults=UTF-8
How can it be corrected?

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?

It works for SQL Developer, which does not depend on NLS_LANG, so I suspect a problem with your NLS settings. -
French characters, eastern european database
Hi,
I have a 11.2 database with the following settings:
NLS_CHARACTERSET EE8MSWIN1250
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET AL16UTF16
Is there any way I could insert all the french accented characters into
this database or the nls_characterset forbids that, even if the
nls_nchar_characterset can handle french accents? I created a test
table with one nvarchar2 column, but there are characters that lose
their accent after creation. (è for example). I tried it from SQLDeveloper, to eliminate nls_lang problems.
Thanks,
KrisztianUsing NVARCHAR2 or NCHAR for the character data types should work- the AL16 set should handle most characters, just not as many as UTF8. As long as client programs have the correct NLS_LANG setup.
If the coding gets sloppy and (tries to) save unicode values into VARCHAR2 or CHAR data types it will very likely get incorrectly translated as the data is stored, and there won't be any way to get the proper character codes back to the client.
The N{types} will also consume more storage space- up to 4 bytes per character- try this out, and see the user_segments.bytes for the tables:
create table ctest ( chartest varchar2(1000) )
-- tablespace <tblspc>
create table ntest ( nchartest nvarchar2(1000) )
-- tablespace <tblspc>
begin
for i in 1..50000 loop
insert into ctest values ( rpad( 'z', 1000, 'a'));
insert into ntest values ( rpad( 'b', 1000, 'b'));
end loop;
end;
select SEGMENT_NAME, sum( BYTES ) / 1024 / 1024 as mb from user_segments
where segment_name in ('CTEST','NTEST') group by SEGMENT_NAME -
How to insert a image file into oracle database
hi all
can anyone guide me how to insert a image file into oracle database now
i have created table using
create table imagestore(image blob);
but when inserting i totally lost don't know what to do how to write query to insert image fileHi 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) {
sql = "UPDATE T_SIGNATURE SET SIGNATURE = ? WHERE SIGNATURE_ID = ?";
InputStream is2 = new ByteArrayInputStream(fileData);
pstmt = con.prepareStatement(sql);
pstmt.setBinaryStream(1, is2, (int)(fileData.length));
pstmt.setInt(2, signatureID);
pstmt.executeUpdate();
pstmt.close();
con.commit();
con = null;
} catch (Exception e) {
con = null;
throw new Exception(e.toString());
return signatureID;

ORA-01461 when trying to insert text 4000 characters into a CLOB column
I work on a Windows application that connects to databases using ODBC. I'm currently working on adding Oracle support to the application, but I'm running into a lot of problems inserting strings of more than 4000 characters into CLOB columns. First, I tried to do that directly using code similar to the following (setup, cleanup, and error checking snipped for clarity).
SQLHDBC hDbc;
SQLHSTMT hStmt;
unsigned char query[200];
SQLAllocStmt(hDbc, &hStmt);
strcpy(query,"INSERT INTO test_table (col_clob, col_int) ('long string', 1)");
SQLExecDirect(hStmt,query,strlen(query));
Of course, "long string" was really a string of more than 4000 characters. When I did that, I got an error indicating that I needed to use bind parameters for strings that long. However, bind parameters don't seem to work either. I changed my code to something like the following:
SQLHDBC hDbc;
SQLHSTMT hStmt;
unsigned char query[200];
+unsigned char *str=NULL;+
int str_size;
SQLAllocStmt(hDbc, &hStmt);
strcpy(query,"INSERT INTO test_table (col_clob, col_int) (:strvar, 1)");
SQLPrepare(hStmt,query,SQL_NTS);
str = (unsigned char*)malloc(6000 * sizeof(unsigned char));
SQLBindParameter(hStmt, 1, SQL_PARAM_INPUT, SQL_C_CHAR, SQL_VARBINARY, 0, 0, str, sizeof(str), &str_size);
strcpy(str,'long_string');
str_size = SQL_NTS;
SQLExecute(hStmt);
This code works fine when 'long_string' is less than 4000 characters. When it's greater than that, I get the following error:
+[Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column+

I thought I read somewhere that this is a known bug with Oracle 10.2.0.1.0, but I can't seem to find the reference now. Can anyone confirm this or provide some assistance with this problem? Frankly, it seems kind of ridiculous that I can't do something as simple as inserting a reasonably sized amount of text into a CLOB column. I'm considering using BFILEs instead, but that would be kind of a pain to fit into our application, so I'd prefer not to do this if at all possible.
Thanks in advance for any help.I found this link referring to a similar problem that was apparently fixed in version 10.2.0.4 of the server: ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column Should I try to upgrade the server and see if that fixes things?

Insert Fixed Width data into SQL database.
I have a file sent from a client that I need to get into a SQL database.
The file name is ELIG and it is in a flat file, fixed width format.
I am just going round and round how to get the data into a database using SSMS.
Because another user is going to be doing this in the future it needs to be easy.
I tried tasks, import data, flat file, file path and then "Fixed Width", but it puts all of it in one field.
the data does NOT have headers either.
I'm not good at this kind of thing so would appreciate any help I can get.
GeeYes I saw Uri's request and I'd love to comply, since this is giving me such a hard time, but the data is too sensitive and I would be shunned by my employer and thrown out into the street.
I've been all over google trying to find a solution. I'm still a bit of a novice, but even so, I have never found data that is so hard to normalize. Just error after error.

Hi Gee,
I can understand your issue :-)
it is a common issue that people think that we can read minds, troubleshoot issues without having the option to test it and without any information regarding the issues. It is like going to the children doctor and ask him to treat your children without taking
the your children to the doctor. If you can not take the children to the doctor, then you might need to take a doctor to the your children!
Troubleshooting can be tedious, because there may be quite some information you will need to supply. If you can not post the information in public, then maybe you need to get a private supporting, but this will cost you (your boss/company).
Option 1: Create a case study which is based on your real issue. Use different DDL and DML (database structure and data) than the real database, and reproduce the issue in a way that you can post us the information that we need. We have
to get the ability to reproduce the issue in our server as well, if you need our support.
Option 2: Use the real database information with private support,
after the supporter sign a Confidentiality agreement. If you check people profiles in the forum, then you will find that most of the supporters here are actually work as consultants and they give support on a daily
bases. This is our job. In the forum we come to help volunteer, but
there is a reason why people continue to pay for support. free public support do not fit all :-)

Insert a large file into a Database?
I have the following situation and am unsure of the best solution.
I have to do an update on a record within an MS SQL Server database, adding files that are potentially 50mb plus in size.
Basically I would like to read this file into the database bit by bit so as not to get OutOfMemoryExceptions thrown whilst attempting to load a large file into memory.
Is there a way I can open the file and read x number of bytes at a time into the database, say with the FileInputStream.read(byte[]) in a while loop.My preference would be to save the path of the file to the Database, but the requirements state the file has to be stored within a Database!
My problem is I am not sure if the preparedStatement.setBinaryStream() will work the way I would like.
I think this:
preparedStatement.setBinaryStream( 1, in.read(), 50000);
will just read the whole file into memory and error with OutOfMemoryException. Or will it read in a byte at a time?
I would like to Do Something like:
byte[] data = new byte[1024];
preparedStatement.setBinaryStream( 1,
while((eof = in.read(data)) != -1), 50000);
which obviously will not work, but I hope you get what I would like to try and do.
Put in words "pass small portions of the file from the Disk through JDBC into the database till the End Of File is reached".
Thanks for the response in advance. -

what version of cf5? what version of mysql? has to be at
least 4.1. is the db,
etc. setup to handle that encoding? do you really want to use
BIG5 instead of
unicode? what db driver? it can't be ODBC. -
XMLType.extract cannot show special French characters in select statement

The (e acute) é characters get garbled when they are retrieved from the

How can we fix to get (e acute) é characters properly?
We both tried setting "setenv NLS_LANG French_France.WE8ISO8859P1" and

ThanksGood to hear then, you have not yet got a SR on your hands.
One of the reasons I hate NLS issues is that me first one had to do with an client browser/ application server and database setup that involved not equal settings between the app.server and the database. Always, always fully check that the app.server (on all fronts) have the same NLS settings as the database so that you avoid unnecessary conversion between the middle tier and the database tier. "On all fronts" means, as I once painfully discovered, possible NLS settings in a registry, app.server configuration file, java application in the JVM, etc, etc, etc. Another issue is that JDBC drivers, AFAIK, have issues with "opaque data types" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opaque_data_type) like "XMLTYPE" so, to be sure, I would advice to transport the "XML content" in a data type which is supported much longer like "CLOB". In such cases, NLS conversions shouldn't take place. There are exceptions of course, one I can think of right now is when you move Binary XML content via the binary xml transport method (can't remember right now the proper java classes to use for this) between the client and server to obtain performance gains due to among others less and more efficient data transport across the network and avoiding validation and post parse overhead during the Binary XML content handling in the database.
Looked it up anyway :-) the following is part of the 11.2 Oracle XDK
Binary XML usage with Java:

Special French characters not displaying properly
Hi:
I am using Weblogic 9.2, struts 1.2, JDOM,and ejb.
I read special characters from the properties files using struts but when I assigned it to xml tags(JDOM elements) it is not showing properly in the xml tags.
Element header = new Element("header");
while(elementListItor.hasNext())
Element child = (Element)elementListItor.next();
String name = child.getName();
header.addContent(new Element(name).setText("Montant pay?", name)));
i++;
Yours,
Desperate.Hello,
If you are displaying the report output as a PDF output then you need to make sure that:
-NLS_LANG is set to French
-the fonts used in the report are installed on the PC
-the characters are stored correctly in the database
-PDF subset is configured

How to insert the sysdate time into the database
hi all,
when i execute the following query,
insert into table_name
(date_field)
values
(to_date(sysdate, 'yyyy/mm/dd hh24:mi:ss'));
The value is inserted as 08-02-12 12:00:00. In this query, it always stores the default time as 12 a.m.
But i need to insert the original system time not the default one.
please help me how to rectify it.I do not understand as to why you are using the to_date function on sysdate since sysdate is already in date format.
If date_field is of the data type date, then the following dml should work.
insert into table_name(date_field) values (sysdate);
In case date_field is a varchar2 field and you want to store the date and time in a string format, then the following statement should work.
insert into table_name (date_field)
values (to_char(sysdate, 'yyyy/mm/dd hh24:mi:ss'));
