Junk Character

Question

Hi
we recently migrated from oracle 8i to oracle 10g.
now i am getting junk character  instead of space.
it goes like this.
when i enter my first name from application and put one space in front.
it gets saved al rite in application but in database it gets saved as.. for example, GeorgeÂ
entered name : George
Database Save : GeorgeÂ
Please sugegst why it is coming like this? is this DB server issue or oracle DB issue.

Answer 1

Try the following code to remove the junk code
ascii values 32 to 126 are key board values. I have considered the remaining are junks
CREATE OR REPLACE procedure oracle_junk_remove
As
Len Number;
v_ascii_value number;
Begin
For i in
( select column1 from test1 )
Loop
len := Length(i.column1);
For j in 1..len
Loop
select ascii(substr(i.column1,j,1)) into v_ascii_value from dual;
If v_ascii_value < 32 OR v_ascii_value > 126 then
dbms_output.put_line('The junk value is ' || substr(i.column1,j,1));
update test1 set column1 = replace(column1,substr(i.column1,j,1),'');
commit;
End if;
End Loop;
End Loop;
End;
