Is it necessary that the database nls be any given character set? My db is

WE8ISO8859P1.

Hello,
APEX itself doesn't demand a specific database characterset, however the DAD (Database Access Descriptor) that you setup for APEX needs to use AL32UTF8 in the character set portion of the PlsqlNLSLanguage setting, as per the installation instructions -

Hope this helps,
John.

  • How to find out that the database table is empty

    Hello all,
    How to find out in ABAP in the best performant way, that the database table is empty. The table could have several milions of records or be empty. SELECT count( * )  looks to me as not the best way.
    Kind regards

    Hi,
    One approach is:
    check lt_mytable is initial.
    This will be true if there are no lines.
    Another:
    describe table lt_mytable lines lv_count
    if lv_count = 0.

  • Verify that the database is created with the correct path  specification

    Dear All
    When I installed DB2 9.1 with SP4 on windows 2003 64 bit,I use Configuration Assistant tool which is problem
    SQL1031N  The database directory cannot be found on the indicated file system.  SQLSTATE=58031
    Explanation:
    The system database directory or local database directory could
    not be found.  A database has not been created or it was not
    cataloged correctly. 
    The command cannot be processed. 
    User Response:
    Verify that the database is created with the correct path
    specification.  The Catalog Database command has a path parameter
    which specifies the directory where the database resides. 
    sqlcode :  -1031
    sqlstate :  58031
    Thanks

    Hi Phuc,
    Could you please validate, that the database TST is located in driver H: ?
    If the database is there, you find a directory with the name of your instance under the H: drive, inside this directory, you must find a NODE0000 directory and finally inside the NODE0000 directory there must be a SQL0000? directory, where ? is a number.
    You get your instance name from the environment variable DB2INSTANCE or simply by the execution of:
    db2 get instance
    If there is no SQL0000? directory at all, this means the database is located somewhere else.
    If there is SQL0000? directory in that drive, you can perform the following:
    db2 CATALOG DB TST AS TST ON H:
    And provide the error message, if any.
    Hope this helps
    Best regards, Edgardo

    Well, you don't have to write down anything. Just click on the message and copy it. Then paste it here, or in a text editor (eg, TextEdit). And you can enter a string like "Audio CD" (w/o the quote marks) in the filter and see only messages containing it.
    mds[71]: (Error) Server: Failed to register path "/Volumes/Audio CD"
    That's the metadata server, used by Spotlight. AFAIK, Spotlight does not index audio CDs, so what is this about? I don't know. Maybe it's the cause of what you observe; or maybe it's another symptom. Thinking again of the network issue… have you maybe installed some third-party software related to both Spotlight and the network (Searchlight perhaps)?

  • HT1665 Recently read on a deal site forum page that you can only use Apple lightning cables to charge iPads running iOS 7 or higher. Is that the case or will any 8-pin to USB cable work? Thx in advance for any helpful replies.

    Recently read on a deal site forum page that you can only use Apple lightning cables to charge iPad Air or iPad Mini Retina running iOS 7 or higher. Is that the case or will any 8-pin to USB cable work? Thx in advance for any helpful replies.

    Due to a lot of bad press that Apple was getting due to burnt chargers, shocked users (the electrical kind...), etc., due to the lousy third party El Cheapo brand generics, as of iOS 7 the cable must be Apple-certified before the iGadget deigns to use it for charging purposes. Unfortunately (for Apple) the old traditional USB to 30-pin cable is just that, a straight piece of wire, and can't be validated by the iGadget. But lo & behold, the new gear uses the new Lightning cable, which contains an embedded chip that CAN be validated and lousy imitations disabled from use.

  • Since upgrading (FF29.0-Windows 8.0), only the active tab on any given Firefox window has the website name;other tabs have no name,only site logo. How do I fix?

    I recently upgraded to Firefox 29.0 (running Windows 8.0). Since upgrading, only the active tab on any given Firefox window has the site name. All other inactive tabs generally have a site logo on the left side of the tab, but none of the other tabs have the website name. If I push Alt + Tab to cycle through the windows, the website name will then show up on each tab, but once I select a window to work in the website names disappear from the tabs again, except for the active tab. Is this a feature of the upgrade? Is there a setting to have the site names appear? I would really like to have the ability to see what site is on each tab without selecting.

    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).

    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

  • How to change the Forms and Reports's NLS_LANG character set on OAS

    Hi,
    I'm having problems with the OAS10g's actual character set, when displaying a report made with Reports Builder 10g who has the letter "ñ" it displays "ñ " with a blank space at the final so i need to change this character set for one that suits this requirement.
    which file or files should i change ??
    could this change affect something else, for example another product in my OAS ??
    Regards
    Carlos

    I have this Forms and Reports Application in Brazilian Potuguese. What I do at new installations is:
    1. Open this file: <MiddlewareOracleHome>/forms/server/default.env and add the NLS parameters below the FORMS_PATH definition:
    FORMS_PATH=D:\Oracle\home207middle\forms;D:\MYENV\Exe;D:\MYENV\Imagens
    NLS_LANG=BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE_BRAZIL.WE8MSWIN1252
    NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS=,.2. Open this file: <MiddlewareOracleHome>/reports/conf/<your_report_server_name>.conf and create an "environment" section with the NLS variables:
       <environment id="MYENV">
          <envVariable name="REPORTS_PATH" value="D:\MYENV\Exe;D:\MYENV\Imagens"/>
          <envVariable name="NLS_LANG" value="BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE_BRAZIL.WE8MSWIN1252"/>
          <envVariable name="NLS_DATE_FORMAT" value="DD/MM/YYYY"/>
          <envVariable name="NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS" value=",."/>
       </environment>For this one to work, the application must set RP2RROREPORTSENV=MYENV before launching the report.

  • What is the difference in the System Event triggers: Any queue limit set to zero and System queue reached its job limit

    My co-worker and I are not sure what the difference between Any queue limit set to zero and System queue reached its job limit are in the System Events.

    Hi jlayton,
    System queue limit is the sum of all queue limits you have defined. For example, if you have a system queue limit of, say, 100 -- queue A has 50 jobs active, and queue B also has 50 jobs active, then you will receive an alert System queue reached its job limit since it is set to 100.
    Any queue limit set to zero. Note, this may also include the System queue. For example, if you want to gracefully stop Tidal, you may want to set system queue = 0 so that there are no active jobs. When you do this, you will receive an alert queue limit set to zero.

  • Is it a known but that the outgoing SMTP user ID is always set to the same as the incoming even when set differently?

    I'm trying to figure out where to report this: I keep noticing that when I setup a new account and I set the incoming and outgoing user names differently, the outgoing one never is honoured; it always sets it the same as the incoming one and I have to manually go into the outgoing settings to change it. Just wondered if this was known, thought it might be worth reporting.

    please file a bug in [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ Bugzilla].
    I can not see this one listed, but it looks to me like the behavior may well have been introduced with [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=883670 Bug 8396652]

I am the Director of Technology in a school district and starting this morning I am getting reports that Apple TVs are not working and upon investigation they all sit at setting date and time.

  • Build new database through scripts must understand spanish character sets.

    Hello Gurus,
    I need some simple advice, a good chance for some quick points for you.
    I have never built a database to understand any other character set other than American English. I now have to build a database that will be used for Spanish characters- keyboards, etc. But I will be using English for the 11g software install. I only wish to be able to show Spanish characters in the data for customers names.
    I will be creating the database with scripts I have made to make the standard template for database files, control files, etc.
    Then I will be importing from a dump I have done that was made with American English character sets.
    System is 11g (11.2.0.3.0) on Linux Enterprise Server 5.8.
    I was thinking to use the AL32UTF8 character set, but I am unsure where to use it.
    My original test did not show Spanish characters for customers names like the 'tilda' or 'sueano' (pardon my spelling). But in this case I did not make the exeception for Spanish, I only used the standard American English build (no changes in the init.ora file or initial database build script).
    How can I adjust my parameter file for the initial creation of the database template to be able to understand the Spanish character set and still be able to import my dump file without error.
    EXAMPLE of a build script:
    CREATE DATABASE mynewdb
    USER SYS IDENTIFIED BY sys_password
    USER SYSTEM IDENTIFIED BY system_password
    LOGFILE GROUP 1 ('/u01/app/oracle/oradata/mynewdb/redo01.log') SIZE 100M,
    GROUP 2 ('/u01/app/oracle/oradata/mynewdb/redo02.log') SIZE 100M,
    GROUP 3 ('/u01/app/oracle/oradata/mynewdb/redo03.log') SIZE 100M
    MAXLOGFILES 5
    MAXLOGMEMBERS 5
    MAXLOGHISTORY 1
    MAXDATAFILES 100
    CHARACTER SET US7ASCII
    NATIONAL CHARACTER SET AL16UTF16
    If I replace NATIONAL CHARACTER SET AL16UTF16 to AL32UTF8 will it work to show Spanish characters?
    Sorry for the long winded question, any advice will be great.
    Thankfully,
    Shawn

    Hello,
    the national charsets is for column types like nvarchar not for normal varchar data types. So if your dump file contains such column types you will also need to set it. The charset is for the normal column types like varchar. The use of unicode is best pratice if you use multiel language, but keep in mind that multibyte charset can be a problem during the import because varchar2(10) means 10byte and not 10 chars, so errors like identifier to long can occur during import.
    You can create the database.
    Check this documentation:
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28298/ch2charset.htm
    You can use a charset like WE8MSWIN1252 which covers spanish also (as far i know) and is a superset to us7ascii

  • How to change the character set of the D/b

    Hello All,
    When i issue the command
    ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET UTF8
    It gives me the error that I can only change the character set to a superset of the existing character set.
    Is there any way i can change the character set without recreating the database.
    TIA
    Naveen

    The existing character set is the basis for the new character set. This is fair enough, because the character set determines how the actual data is stored in the database. Allowing new characters is a minor change: completely re-encoding your entire database is not.
    I'm afraid export, recreate and import is your only option.
    Cheers, APC
