Inserting the characters.

I want to insert 6000 characters in one column.which data type we can use for creating a column in a table?.
Total characters length is 6000 per row and how we can test before implement it?.
pls suggest

Use LOB column to store the data. Oracle also recommends that you convert existing LONG columns to LOB columns. LOB columns are subject to far fewer restrictions than LONG columns. Further, LOB functionality is enhanced in every release, whereas LONG functionality has been static for several releases.

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?

Your database character set is US7ASCII : you can only insert ASCII characters which is OK for most French characters but not all. This cannot work for:
àéèùçChanging NLS_LANGUAGE won't help. You need to change database character set to WE8MSWIN1252 for example. This should be easy in your case because US7ASCII is a binary subset of many others characters set. Please read http://docs.oracle.com/cd/A87860_01/doc/server.817/a76966/ch3.htm#47136

How do I insert Greek characters from the character viewer in Lion?

In Lion, the Character Viewer shows many more options for different characters than SL. Of course, it displays Latin, but, as I scientist I often need to insert Greek characters, but I cannot find Greek characters in the Character Viewer. I don't otherwise need to select Greek as a language. Inserting Greek characters from some applications like MS Word still works.
And ... while I'm here ... what happened to the "insert" button? -j

How to insert special characters in the Unix FrameMaker?

Dear All,
I want to insert the abbreviation of millisecond (which is quite similar to "us") and ≤ in the Unix FrameMaker.
Any hints?
Thanks.

Hi, Alice:
Look in the OnlineManuals directory in the FM installation directory for CharacterSets.pdf There's a table of all characters in fonts (pre-OpenType) and the equivalent keystrokes or codes they need. Also look for MultiplePlatforms.pdf which has platform-specific notes.

Issue in Inserting Greek characters in Oracle DB

We are facing the following issue in our project. Need urgent help.
We have a multilingual string(message with Greek characters) coming in from KSD gateway. This is to be processed by MHL(message handling layer- which validates and converts the incoming message into SQL statements and vice versa). Once the validation and conversion of incoming message is completed and then SQL statement is prepared, it inserts this data in the Oracle database. We are using OCI interface for database communication. Client program is written in C language. While inserting data in Oracle DB, we are getting exception as explained below.

Insert Unicode Characters Into Oracle 8.1.5

Hello,
First off, here are the specs:
Oracle 8.1.5
JDK 1.2.1
Oracle8i 8.1.6.2.0 JDBC Drivers for use with JDK 1.2.x for Solaris
I'm running into a problem with insert Unicode characters into Oracle via the JDBC driver. As you can see above, I am using the Oracle 8.1.6.2.0 JDBC driver because it is the first driver with supports the JDK 1.2.x. So I think I should be okay.
I can retrieve data with special characters from Oracle by calling the getBytes() method from the ResultSet with all special characters being intact. I am using getBytes because calling getString() would throw the following exception: "java.sql.SQLException(): Fail to convert between UTF8 and UCS2: failUTF8Conv". However, with that value that I just retrieved, or any other data with special characters (unicode) in which I try to insert into Oracle does not get converted properly.
What appears to be happening is that data with special characters (unicode), are not being treated as a single double byte character, but rather two single byte characters. Thus, R|ckschlagventil becomes RC<ckschlagventil once it is inserted. (Hopefully, my example will be rendered properly).
According to all documentation that I have found, the JDBC driver should not have any problem with converting UCS2 Java Strings to Oracle's UTF8 character set.
I have set Oracle's NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET to UTF8. I am also setting the environment variable NLS_LANG to AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8. Perhaps there is some other environment setting in which I am missing?
Any help would be appreciated,
Christian

Import has a lot of options, so it depends on what you want to do.
C:\> imp help=y
will show you all possible options. An example of full import :

How do I insert the tab character in a table cell in Pages 5.2?

I'm typing text in a table cell. I need to insert a tab in the text. I've tried all of the modifier keys with the tab. I read somewhere it would be CTRL>TAB, like Word, but that navigates to the Inspector.

You will need to add a Unicode keyboard. System Preferences > Keyboard > Input Sources. Click the + button in the lower left. Scroll all the way to the end and select Others > Unicode Hex Input. Select and Add this. Check the box that says Show input menu in menu bar. Exit System Preferences.
From the Finder menu, select your recent Unicode Hex Input source (it is a black box with white U+ in it). Now, position your cursor in your table cell between the characters where you want to insert a tab character. Press and hold your option key, then type 0009 (zeroes). This is the Unicode sequence for the tab control character. Space will open in your text. Tabs in table cells survive PDF export. The tab mark will not appear with Show invisibles enabled.
Switch back to your normal country input source in that Finder input source menu.

When typing in Adobe Muse CC vers6 the cursor sometimes deletes the characters after it

I'm editing text in type frames in Adobe Muse CC vers6 and sometimes the cursor deletes all the characters after its position, rather than enter new characters. Anybody else have this problem or a solution?

Hello,
Does it replace the characters after the cursor when you enter new character?
If the above happens, can you hit the "Insert" button in your keyboard and then see if that resolves the issue? Insert button does the exact same thing.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

Inserting JAPANESE characters in a database

Can somebody please let me know how to insert the JAPANESE (Kanji) Characters into the Database.
Database Version: Oracle 9.2.0.1.0
Paremeters Setting:
NLS_CHARACTERSET - UTF8
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET - UTF8
Server OS: Win2K
Client OS: Win2K

Not sure what your overall requirements from an application
support standpoint. But a simple way would be to use UNIST.
Here is a description:
UNISTR takes as its argument a string and returns it in the national character set.The national character set of the database can be either AL16UTF16 or UTF8.
UNISTR provides support for Unicode string literals by letting you specify the Unicode encoding value of characters in the string. This is useful, for example, for
inserting data into NCHAR columns.
The Unicode encoding value has the form '\xxxx' where 'xxxx' is the hexadecimal value of a character in UCS-2 encoding format. To include the backslash in
the string itself, precede it with another backslash (\\).
For portability and data preservation, Oracle Corporation recommends that in the UNISTR string argument you specify only ASCII characters and the Unicode
encoding values.
Examples
The following example passes both ASCII characters and Unicode encoding values to the UNISTR function, which returns the string in the national character
set:
SELECT UNISTR('abc\00e5\00f1\00f6') FROM DUAL;
UNISTR

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 !!

Hi, Seenu,
In Oracle 10 (and up) you can easily split a comma-delimited list using REGEXP_SUBSTR.

returns the n-th item in a comma-delimited list s.
If there are fewer than n items, it returns NULL.
One or more consecutive characters other than comma make an item, so
'Hop,,Jump' has two items, the second one being 'Jump'.
The sub-query cntr produces a list of integers 1, 2, 3, ..., w
where w is the worst-case (the largest number of items in any list).
This actually counts separators, not items, (e.g., it counts both
commas in 'Hop,,Jump', even though), so the w it produces may be
larger than is really necessary. No real harm is done.

     (Possible) Problems and Fixes
(1) If list_txt IS NULL, then REGEXP_COUNT (list_txt, :sep_char)
     returns NULL, the join condition fails, and the output
     contains nothing corresponding to the row from string_test.
     If you want a NULL item to appear in the results, use
     NVL to make sure the expression returns 0 instead of NULL.
(2) If list_txt contains multiple consecutive sep_chars (or if it
     begins or ends with sep_char, then the original query
     will return NULL items. To suppress these, add a WHERE
     clause to test that the item_txt to be displayed IS NOT NULL.

/*     Version-Dependent Features and Work-Arounds
The code above, Q3, runs in Oracle 8.1.
The following changes were made to Q1:
(11) REGEXP_COUNT was introduced in Oracle 11.
     In earlier versions, to find the number of sep_chars in list_txt,
     see how much the LENGTH changes when sep_chars are removed.
(10) REGEXP_SUBSTR was introduced in Oracle 10.
     In earlier versions, use INSTR to find where the sep_chars are,
     and use SUBSTR to get the sub-strings between them.
     (Using this technique, 'Hop,,Jump' still contains three items,
     but now item 2 IS NULL and item 3 is 'Jump'.)
(9.a) The WITH-clause was introduced in Oracle 9
     In earlier versions, use in-line views.
(9.b) "CONNECT BY LEVEL < constant" doesn't work in Oracle 8.
     Use ROWNUM from any sufficiently large table or view instead.
(9.c) ANSII join notation (JOIN table_name ON ...) was introduced in Oracle 9
     In earlier versions, join condition go in a WHERE-clause.

Problem to insert Chinese Characters(GB3212) into MySQL

I met a problem to insert Chinese Characters (GB3212) into MySQL using Entity Bean (or JPA).
For example, when a hardcoded string "{color:#ff0000}电器me元件{color}" is inserted, it is displayed as "{color:#ff0000}??me??{color}" in MySQL.
The NamedQuery is also not working for Chinese Characters.
The setting are as following:
GlassFish JDBC connection pool: useUnicode=true, charecterEncoding=gb2312
NetBeans IDE: source encoding set to GB2312;
MySql table: the column set to CHARACTER SET gb2312;
Any experts, please give advice
Thanks lot

I didn't noticed that there is a {color:#ff0000}sun-resources.xml{color} file under {color:#ff0000}<ejb project>/server resources{color}.
This file has a pool configuration. This config just overwite the paremeter i added using Admin Console every time a client is lauched. So there are two option to fix this problem.
1. Insert the follwowing two lines into the {color:#ff0000}sun-resources.xml{color}
<property name="characterEncoding" value="gb2312"/>
<property name="useUnicode" value="true"/>
2. delete the everthing in the {color:#ff0000}sun-resources.xml, using Admin Console {color}config your own pool & DataSource
I tried first option & it works.

Inserting the characters.
