Japanese and English together in database table?

Hi all, on to my next challenge... ;-)
I'm wondering if there are any issues with database tables that contain both Japanese and English (Roman) characters. I'm in the process of establishing an online language-learning site that will target (mostly) customers in Japan. As part of the registration process, I need to collect names in kanji (Japanese characters) along with other information in roman script (email, username, password, etc.).
Right now I have these fields set to utf8_unicode_ci collation. Is this correct? Am I confusing character set with collation? I doubt very many of you have experience in this area, but if you do I'd love to hear from you.

Hi,
I don´t know if my answer is of help in your particular situation -- however, I once made a CMS with ADDT where form pages had to contain both english & russian input fields, I succeeded having them display the respective chars differently this way:
1. setting the page´s "content-type" to UTF-8
2. no need to apply something to the "english" aka roman form fields, but...
3. adding the following bold stuff to the "value" of a russian field, example for PHP:
" size="100" maxlength="240" />
I actually didn´t define any "collation" for the MySQL database, so I can´t say something about that.

Handling update and insert in a database table

Hi guys,
I have some data in a database table which I created.Every day some new records come into the table.what i want is that if the account no of the new record which comes say today already exists in the table hen I do not insert a new record but only update the value field related to the account no.
Being more explicit:
say my table has two columns
acc no        value.
10                3500
Now as for the existing account no 10 say a new value 300 comes in I want that a new field is not created rather the value is made to 3500+300.
and if an accno 20 comes which is not there in table a new row is aded for that.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi
you can do the following way.
report ztest.
data: begin of itab occurs 0,
        accno type char10,
        value type i,
      end of itab.
data: it_acc like itab occurs 0 with header line,
      it_acc1 like itab occurs 0 with header line.
Assume already value in itab.
select *
into table it_acc
from zacc
    for all entries in table itab.
where accno eq itab-accno.
loop at it_acc.
collect it_acc to it_acc1.
endloop.
loop at itab.
collect itab to it_acc1.
endloop.
modify zacc from table it_acc1.
Reward points, if it is useful.
Regards
Raja.

Enqueue and Dequeue before updating Database table

Hi all,
We are updating database tables using INSERT, MODIFY and UPDATE statements. Since many people will be running the application at the same time we need to lock the table before updating database table. So we need to use ENQUEUE and DEQUEUE functionality for this purpose.
Can any plz explain what are the steps we should follow now?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Any Database access should carefully handled as multiple applications may be accessing the database at the same time. To read a record from the database you don't need to implement a lock, but to write you need not only locks but also ideally should use the Update Function Modules to comply SAP "All or Nothing" Principle. This will prevent data inconsistency of the database and the data will be proper state. You need to use the COMMIT WORK and ROLLBACK WORK in you code to handle the consistency part of the database.
The best design approach would be seperate the Database Layer completely from the business layers. This will make your code robust and easy to maintain.
As, for the Locking Concepts, you will get multiple resources from SDN as how to create Locks and implement the Locking modules in your code. But more than that what matters is why and how to implement the SAP Locking concepts to make your application run better.
Have a look at the following link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/cf/21eea5446011d189700000e8322d00/content.htm
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Using the Borland Database Engine to read AND write SHARED Paradox Database Tables

I need to read and write Paradox database tables with a C# AT THE SAME TIME AS people using the Paradox tables with legacy Paradox programs interactively.
I think the only way to do that reliably without corrupting the tables is to use the BDE Borland Database Engine.
Does anyone know how to do that? I found this c++ program... But I don't know how to integrate this into c#
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/database/bdedatabase.aspx
Is there another way to do this? Again, most important, I don't want to corrupt the paradox database.
I can read the paradox records all day long, that is no problem, it is updating at the same time as the legacy program users..
I also know that the whole thing needs to be updated, but that can not be done overnight.
Thanks in advance
Dave

Being pretty new to programming, I am trying just to read info from Paradox tables with C#. Info is actively being updated from another program at the same time. The program I am trying to write only needs to read data. The other program does use the BDE,
so it is already present running on the computer.
I've been looking at code but just haven't found quite the right combination.
Thanks. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Japanese and English across whole site

Hello, I wish to be able to use English and Japanese on pages in my site. Is there a way to add code such that this is possible universally throughout my site?

No, CSS is for styling only. You will need a serverside script to change the language, have a look here http://ncca.com.au/new/ and click the Australian and Dutch flags for the two languages.
In the above example, I have used WebAssist's Framework Builder as per http://www.webassist.com/dreamweaver-extensions/framework-builder/, but you can achieve a similar result by using conditional statements together with session variables..
For instance if you have an About page, this would look like (using PHP)
<?php
session_id('lang');
session_start();
$_SESSION['lang'] = 'en'; //set language variable change to nl to see the difference
?>
<!doctype html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>About us</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php if ($_SESSION['lang'] == 'en') { ?>

OT: Typing in Japanese and English

I'm thinking of buying a laptop or netbook for a friend who
speaks
English and Spanish and is studying Japanese. So, pardon the
dumb
question, but how do you type Japanese on a computer?
Obviously, the computers I buy are set up for English, while
computers
sold in Japan are set up for Japanese. But can one install
Japanese
fonts on an "English" computer? And could one then buy a
Japanese
keyboard? And where does one obtain Japanese fonts and
keyboards?
Realistically, I'd probably be purchasing a Linux netbook,
though I'd
spring for another Mac if I inherit some money. :)
Thanks.

Wow, that's interesting. QWERTY simply refers to a "normal"
keyboard,
right? In other words, the Japanese learn to associate
particular
Japanese characters with the keys A, B and so on?
And Kanji and Kana are Japanese dialects? I went into System
Preferences
> International > Input Menu and found "Japanese Kana
palette" near the
very top. I checked Kana and unchecked U.S. English, but I'm
still
typing English characters. But I'll figure that one out.
In your estimation, would a Japanese keyboard still be a nice
gift for a
student who's just learning Japanese? Would it have some
educational
value, or would it only hinder them in learning the normal
way of typing
Japanese on a QWERTY keyboard?
Thanks.

Toast 7 Japanese and English?

Japanese and English based laptop

hi
i'm on the process of buying a toshiba laptop brand dynabook paex55llt.
the laptop is coming with Japanese windows 7 home edition and the tech support at the shopping center told me that it's not possible to change to english windows becouse the drivers and this laptop brand is only for Japanese people.
is this true? and if i buy it and change the operating system to english windows 7 ultimate edition is it possible to locate the drivers for this brand of laptops?
if so can you give me the link to the drivers page couse i couldn't locate them.
thank you

Unless you read Japanese, I suggest you stay away from it.
If you do, look it up at the Japanese site and find out the part number. We might be able to match that up with one in the US.

Browse and update database tables

I'm looking for a tool that will let me connect to an Oracle database, select a table and some fields off the table and build a simple java class to navigate / update the data.
Essentially, I'm looking for a tool that replicates the way Microsoft Access can build a form for navigation and update of a database table.
However, I want to use java, not MS Access.
Any ideas if such a tool is available ?
Thanks

How can I make an easy *.CSV file to load into database table

Hi All,
I have a huge excel sheet having columns item#, description and qty. The description column sometimes maybe one word name, two word name separated with space or may be , spearated name. I want to write and PL/SQl code which will read this file and load it into database table. Now the *.CSV file is either comma delimited or tab text delmited which both do not solve my issue. Is there any better solution with anyone which can prevent the manual editing to the *.CSV file and I can easily load it to table.
Your help is appreciated,
Thanks
Zahir

SQL*Loader is probably the fastest method, but since you specifically asked for a PL/SQL method:

Error in fetching the data from textfield and inserting to the database..

I'm using Java Swing as front end and MySQL as backend using the netbeans ide..I am trying to fetch the data from the textfiled in the form and insert to the database table.i've skipped the generated code..In the following code i get the erro cannot find symbol "stmt" in the actionPerformed method..
mport java.awt.event.*;
import java.sql.*;
public class BarcodeReader extends JFrame implements ActionListener {
public BarcodeReader() {
initComponents();
nb.addActionListener(this);
public void jdbcConnect(){
Connection con=null;
String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/";
String db = "mynewdatabase";
String driver = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";
String user = "usrname";
String pass = "pwd";
try{
String s=newtxt.getText();
con=DriverManager.getConnection(url + db, user, pass);
Statement stmt=con.createStatement();
Class.forName(driver);
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
try{
jdbcConnect();
stmt.executeUpdate("INSERT into machine(mname) values '"+jTextField1.getText()+"'");
}}catch (Exception ex) {
System.out.println(ex);
public static void main(String args[]) {
java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
new BarcodeReader().setVisible(true);
}

There are far too many errors to try and clear.
For one, the exception references the actionPerformed method (according to your text), so why is that not shown here?
For another you are performing, possible time-consuming, actions, and even worse IO actions, on the event thread, which is a huge no-no.
You are not closeing your resources properly, if at all, which is another huge no-no.
You are completely mixing your "view" (the gui), and your "model" (the data related classes), which is another huge no-no.
etc, etc, etc.

Persist XML Data to Database Table - Generic XML Schema

Hi,
I would like to represent data in XML format and persist to any database tables.
The ideal xml is like:
<TABLE NAME="TABLE1">
<TABLEDEF><COLUMN NAME="COLUMN1"/><COLUMN NAME="COLUMN2"/></TABLEDEF>
<ROW><COLUMN VALUE="value1"/><COLUMN VALUE="value2"/></ROW>
<ROW><COLUMN VALUE="value11"/><COLUMN VALUE="value22"/></ROW>
</TABLE>
<TABLE NAME="TABLE2">
</TABLE>
The XML could then be parsed, and saved to database with JDBC by manually composing the statement strings.
To reduce the coding effort (xml parsing, JDBC connection, etc), are there any open source projects available to achieve the above purpose? The popular O/R mapping tools like Hibernate, Castor, etc, can't handle this scanario because they require the knowledge of the tables on the server side in order to create the mapping files in advance.
Thanks for the help!
