Languages Supported in Oracle Forms
Hi,
Can anyone tell me which languages are supported in Oracle forms ,or with UTF8 characterset i can make forms6i to work for all languages.
Please correct me ...
Regards,
Sandeep
I don't think this feature is feasible for forms.
Quoting the documentation from
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28310/manproc002.htm
Database Resident Connection Pooling (DRCP) provides a connection pool in the database server for typical Web application usage scenarios where the application acquires a database connection, works on it for a relatively short duration, and then releases it.
Forms keeps a permanent connection to the database, so a connection pool isn't gonna help you in any way.
cheers

Multi Language support in Oracle forms
I have a form with 2 text fields
1 text field text can be entered in english
another text field text will depend on the region the user has logged in from.
lets say user has logged in from Japan, in 2nd text field he has to enter text in Japanese , if he is from Russia in Russian , so on.
Can i implement something like this ?babarbaig82 wrote:

Urdu support in Oracle Forms 9i
Requirement:
============
We have an application in Oracle Forms & Report 9i Rel 2 and Database 9i Rel 2.
There is a client requirement to provide Urdu support in this application.
We have to enter Urdu data in few forms and print it in PDF reports.
Problem:
===========
We created new database with AL32UTF8 Character Set with same National
Character Set for Unicode support.
Developed a form and report on a table with NVARCHAR2 data type.
Edited nls_lang entries in Registry to AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32.UTF8
Installed Urdu Support in WinXp
Database stores and retrieves Urdu and displays Oracle SQL Developer.
Oracle form stores/retrieves Urdu characters but it fails to type
complete words and sentences.
On typing 2nd, 3rd characters of a words all characters position mix up
randomly and produce garbage.
Oracle report don't show Urdu characters in run-time but it shows the
same in Report Builder.
Further more, Our group of applications works in Materialized View Replication environment [5-6 applications consolidate data at a Central Database]. If we change Character Set of one application's database to Unicode then is it must to apply the change in all databases of replication group.
Please suggest if Oracle IDS 9i or 10g provides support for Urdu. If yes then please suggest solution of the above stated problems.
Looking forward for your quick response.You would have much more possibilities to have your question answered if you posted it in Oracle Forms forum.....

IDE Support for Oracles Forms and Reports
Hi All,
I am beginning a software integration project and would really appreciate it if you could give me some guidance. I wish to find an IDE that will support Oracle Forms & Reports (6i and 9i/10g) development (in particular support for coding of .rdf and .fmb files) either natively or via a plug-in. Is anyone aware of such an IDE or plug-in? Thanks in advance.
-SThanks for your input Jacob, that answered my question. I was wanting to know if there was any IDE that could be used to develop fmb's or rdf's, either natively or with a plug-in. From your response, I now know there are not.

Pooled Connection not supported in oracle forms 11g
Dear all,
I am using oracle from builder (11.1.1.4) and oracle database 11g Release 2. I can connect to the database from oracle forms 11g, when I use a dedicated or shared server connection mentioned in the tnsnames.ora file . But I want to use the oracle database 11g's new feature DRCP (Database Resident Connection Polling).
To do this a made a another POOLED connection (SERVER=POOLED) in the tnsnames.ora.I can connect to the 11g r2 database server from sqlplus using POOLED connection. But when I try it from form builder (11.1.1.1.4) it gives error with some unknown characters.
Then I tried it in linux frmcmp the message i got in terminal is can not *"Cannot obtain ORACLE version number"*
I have googled and also checked in metalink. But I got nothing.Thanks in advance for your help.I don't think this feature is feasible for forms.

Multilingual Support for Oracle Forms on 9iAS
I have created a standard form in English and deployed it on the Oracle 9iAS. I want my form to support German language in addition to English i.e the GUI elements should be displayed in german language.
How do i acheive that?Hello,
Look at this article : http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/pdf/translationhuboverview.pdf

Hi
I am trying to call this from forms.
I am getting error no data found whenever this calles IF condition but from backend if run it from a script it works fine.
So I was thinking whether Forms PL/SQL version supports collection types.
I am using Forms [32 Bit] Version 6.0.8.11.3 (Production) for Oracle Application 11.5.10 version.
IF (p_emp_ids.COUNT > 0) THEN
FOR r IN v_emp_ids.FIRST..v_pkg_ids.LAST LOOP
Thanks in AdvanceIs it just a a typo that the IF is on P_emp_ids and the loop is on V_em_ids?
However: the NO_DATA_FOUND exception suggests that you may be falling down a crack in your collection. If you have a missing element between FIRST and LAST you will get a no_data_found. Suppose these elements are there:
(1), (2). (3), (5), (6)
You will start at FIRST (1) and finish at LAST (6). But your loop on R will try to find the element at (4). Which isn't there. Oops...
To prove that's what's happening, you can wrap the inside of the loop with an exception handler
BEGIN
do the access to v_emp_ids(r)
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND then (log a message with the value if R in it)
END;If you want to walk a collection with gaps (a "sparse" collection), this is the way:
DECLARE
r pls_integer;
BEGIN
r := v_empids.FIRST
LOOP
EXIT when r IS NULL;
do the business on v_empids(r);
r := v_empids(r).NEXT;
END LOOP;Now, why didn't this work in Forms, but did on the server? Possible reasons:
- your back end script was set up differently - so you had a dense collection (no gaps)
- Client side PL/SQL is different from server side (is it still version 1.x?)

Regarding Multi Language Support in Oracle Custom Table
Hi All,
I have a requirement that i have to create Custom table to catch the data.
The custom table should support multi language.
Ex. PER_OBJECTIVES (seeded table) Suppose i select the language as Arabic then table should able to insert Arabic data. If English is selected English data should insert.
How i need to design the data base table(similar to PER_OBJECTIVES). What are the mandatory column to support multi language.
Thanks,
UMA.Uma,
You will need at least two custom tables. The typical way that Oracle supports MLS/NLS is to have two tables - the first to hold an id or code of the object and the second (table name is typically suffixed with TL) which holds the descriptive translations of the object in the needed languages. A good example to follow would be to look at FNDRESPONSIBILITY and FND_RESPONSIBILITY_TL tables. The first table stores the responsibility short_name or code and the second table stores the actual description of the responsibility in the various languages that are enabled in your instance. The tables are joined using the responsibility id or code. At run time, the appropriate description of the object is retrieved from the TL table based on the users session language. If an entry is not found, then the US translation is substituted. ML Doc 333785.1 describes how all of this is achieved.
Since your tables are custom tables, you will have to provide your own translations for your objects.

Will REF CURSOR support for Oracle Forms 6i?
Hi,
I need to use ref cursor in my from. My cursor query should be dynamically append the "where clause". Hence I used the dynamic query with ref cursor.
But my problem is , when I compile the form it gives error for the line " OPEN emp_record FOR l_query;"
You need to use "select" statement.
Is there any solution for this in forms?
I know it supports for other PL/SQL areas.
Please help me. below is my code sample,
DECLARE
TYPE emp_refcur IS REF CURSOR;
emp_record emp_refcur;
TYPE rec_emp_data IS RECORD
emp_no VARCHAR2(40),
emp_rec rec_emp_data;
l_query VARCHAR2(4000);
BEGIN
l_query := 'SELECT empno
FROM emp ';
IF :CONTROL.ename IS NOT NULL THEN
l_query := l_query||' AND ename = '''||:CONTROL.ename||''' ';
END IF;
OPEN emp_record FOR l_query;
LOOP
FETCH emp_record INTO emp_rec;
EXIT WHEN emp_record%NOTFOUND;
dbms_output.put_line(emp_rec.emp_no);
END LOOP;
CLOSE emp_record;
END; Thanks
RajeshHi,
It's been a while since I used Forms 6i, but I remember hitting a similar problem. I don't think (and stress think!) that the PLSQL engine that comes with Forms 6i recognises ref_cursors.
The work-around I used was to move the functionality to the database and call it from forms.
Hope this helps.

Japnese language support in oracle
Can anyone guide about how i can store japnese language in the Db and retrieve it and also how can i store english language in the Db and retrieve Japnese for the corresponding word etc.
i would be very grateful.There are two possible questions here.
The first is-- can an English (ASCII) word be represented in a Japanese character set in the database. For example, the word "Oracle" would internally be represented with the bytes 79, 114, 97, 99, 108, 101 in the ASCII character set. Oracle can certainly convert the ASCII representation of a word to the Shift-JIS character set.
The second possible question is-- can Oracle automatically translate an English word into a synonymous Japanese word. Oracle cannot automatically translate words into other languages. Generally, you still have to hire people to translate data into other languages. If you have a very large volume of translated data, there are some products that can attempt an automatic translation, but that is still far from 100%.

Can you tell me,according to the above configuration,what languages will be supported by this database(oracle 10g)?
I would need to store german,japanese,chinese and etc...Is it possible to do so?
Can the change in the database setting help me to achieve inserting as well as retrieving data in numerous languages?Then what is the change that needs to be made.I don't want any junk values like inverted question mark during retrieval.
Can anyone please help?
Thanks a lot in advance.The NLS_CHARACTERSET setting of AL32UTF8 means that the database supports Unicode. So you can store virtually any character from any language in a CHAR or VARCHAR2 column in the database.
Retrieving and displaying the characters, as well as providing a GUI to enter the data properly, depends on client and application settings. For example, my operating system (an English language version of Windows) doesn't support Chinese characters using the default code page. So if I queried Chinese data that was properly stored in the database in SQL*Plus, the conversion would fail. You would need an application that had native support for Unicode (i.e. iSQL*Plus, many/most browser based apps, etc). On the other hand, a user of the Chinese language version of Windows would be able to query that same data via SQL*Plus because that version of Windows supported the necessary characters in the default code page. In order for that to happen, though, the Chinese client's NLS_LANG would have to be set in order to convert the characters from Unicode to the client's default code page.
