Multibyte character support in Jdbc Driver

Hi,
I want to use multibyte characters in my Application and to store it in my database.
If my database provider does not support a Multibyte data type, Can my
Jdbc Driver provide support for the same ?
For a column of type ISO88591 which is of single byte by nature , Can we insert Multibyte characters by providing some support for the same in my Jdbc Driver ?
If yes , How could this support be provided in the Jdbc Driver.
Please provide some clarification on the same.
Thanks in Advance,
Jay

This is a very very bad idea in general. If your database is Oracle, it's a horrificly stupendously bad idea.
First, collation ("ORDER BY" and other things) will be badly broken.
Second, it will very likely prevent the database from being upgraded to a multi-byte version.
Third, it commonly will cause various database utilities to not work.
There are plenty of databases, many of them free, that support UTF8.

  • 9iLite and multibyte character set support

    Does 9iLite support a character set that will allow for accented characters?
    for example: i

    "NLS Character Integrity Issues for Consolidator
    When Mobile Sync synchronizes with an Oracle database which has a
    multibyte character set other than UTF8, the character integrity issue
    occurs. Mobile Sync retrieves data from the server database through Oracle
    8.1.7 OCI JDBC Driver for Oracle9iAS version 1.0.2.2, and 9i for Oracle9iAS
    version 2.0. Character sets are converted from database character sets to
    UTF8 by Oracle Servers NLS functions. In the code conversion, some
    multibyte characters are garbled because of the difference of the character
    mapping. This is not a bug of Mobile Sync.
    For more Information, see "Character Integrity Issues in NLS Environment"

  • OpenSQLException: JDBC driver not supported?

    Hi @ all,
    I need to connect to a DataSource with the WebAS 7 via SQLJ. As I try to connect to it with the SQL Engine set to "Vendor SQL" I get:
    "The given connection "com.sap.engine.services.dbpool.cci.ConnectionHandle" is not an Open SQL connection"
    As I try to get a connection to the dataSource via SQLJ with SQL Engine set to "Open SQL" or "Native SQL", I get the following Exception:
    ResourceException in method ConnectionFactoryImpl.getConnection(): com.sap.engine.services.dbpool.exceptions.BaseResourceException: SQLException thrown by the physical connection: com.sap.sql.log.OpenSQLException: JDBC driver not supported for MS_SQL_SERVER database.
    How can I get the SQLJ- Support?
    Kind regards,
    Uwe

    Hi Uwe, all,
    for using Native SQL/JDBC or Open SQL/JDBC, the database itself and the JDBC driver must be recognized as being in the supported set. The answer to that depends on what you mean in detail by "Web AS 7". Roughly speaking, it should be the JDBC driver released by Microsoft.
    Open SQL/SQLJ is only available with a Open SQL/JDBC data source. Hence, there is no way around using Open SQL/JDBC.
    Now, Open SQL/JDBC and Open SQL/SQLJ both requires tables (and other database objects) to be deployed via the Open SQL for Java Dictionary. Up to and including WebAS Java 7.1, the Open SQL/Dictionary supports deployment to the system database, i.e. the database (and schema) used by the installed server itself.
    Given the above, the JDBC driver for a Open SQL/JDBC data source must already be present, because it must be the driver used by the server itself. When defining data sources, it is referred to as "system driver".
    This leaves us with a Open SQL/JDBC data source to the system schema. You can then also consider to establish a data source alias to the server's system datasource.
    Hope this helps. Best Regards, Dietamr

  • Multibyte character (Chinese, Korean....) support problem

    I used OLE DB(C++) and JDBC(Java) in Oracle 8i server with no problem. I worked very well.
    but using ADO.NET(C#), there are the critical problem in selecting and inserting multibyte character (Chinese,Korean.. so on)
    Oracle 8i Server charset : US7ASCII
    Client NLS_LANG : AMERICAN_AMERICA.US7ASCII
    - SELECT multibyte column
    SELECT DUMP(multibyte) FROM table;
    DUMP(multibyte)
    Typ=1 Len=8: 199,209,177,219,195,226,183,194
    - value in OracleString
    OracleString.Value = ������� (broken character 0xfffd)
    I think Oracle Data Provider for .NET can handle only ASCII characters with setting charset US7ASCII.
    How I can get multibyte characters through byte array as binary data? (not String)

    Since your database character set is not UTF8 or Chinese character set, when inserting Chinese, if the character is not found/mapped in the database character set, a replacement character is used which will be the question marks you see.

  • Reading Advance Queuing with XMLType payload and JDBC Driver character encoding

    Hi
    I've got a problem retrieving the message from the queue with XMLType payload in Java.
    It was working fine in 10g database but after the switch to 11g it returns corrupted string instead of real XML message. Database NLS_LANG setting is AL32UTF8
    It is said that JDBC driver should deal with that automatically but it obviously don't in this case. When I dequeue the message using database functionality (DBMS_AQ package) it looks fine but not when using JDBC driver so Ithink it is character encoding issue or so. The message itself is enqueued by the database and supposed to be retrieved by dedicated EJB.
    Driver file used: ojdbc6.jar
    Additional libraries: aqapi.jar, xdb.jar
    All file taken from 11g database installation.
    What shoul dI do to get the xml message correctly?

    Do you mean NLS_LANG is AL32UTF8 or the database character set is AL32UTF8? What is the database character set (SELECT value FROM nls_database_parameters WHERE parameter='NLS_CHARACTERSET')?
    Thanks,
    Sergiusz

  • JDBC Driver to Support nvarchar/nchar/ntext

    I downloaded the jdbcKona driver for MS SQL Server 7/2000 from
    the "Download Center". This page claims that this driver
    supports the international data types (nvarchar, nchar, and
    ntext) on SQL Server 7/2000.
    http://www.weblogic.com/docs51/techstart/install_jmsq4.html
    The examples provided in this download were very old (12/19/2001)
    and none of them showed anything dealing with these international
    types so I wonder if this driver truly does support these data
    types or if I somehow downloaded the wrong driver?
    I'd be interested in seeing some examples of how to use these
    international types to store various languages in the database.
    Something along the lines of performing this query (but doing
    so via JDBC where the text within the single quotation marks
    is a parameter that could be English, French, etc.) would be
    great:
    select address from names where name = N'буйно'
    Thanks.

    Okay, that kind of makes sense, but are you saying that if I

    address nvarchar(100)
    and I have a prepared statement like this:
    dbstatement = dbconnection.prepareStatement(
    "insert into address values ( ?, ? )" );
    that this set of JDBC:
    dbstatement.setString( 1, "буйно" );
    dbstatement.setString( 2, "123 позволяет"
    ResultSet rs = dbStatement.executeQuery();
    would work the same way as this set of JDBC:
    dbstatement.setString( 1, "Alfred" );
    dbstatement.setString( 2, "123 West Main Street" );
    ResultSet rs = dbStatement.executeQuery();
    This does not appear to be the case. When I try this, I get a
    SQLException: string or binary data would be truncated. If I
    modify the query so that it doesn't throw any errors I see
    garbage text inserted into the database.
    Are you aware of any examples of this?No JDBC driver will change or interpret the content of any string parameter values. Is
    that syntax supposed to be understood by your DBMS? I think you need to create
    whatever string you want to send, as a Java String with the unicode characters you want,
    then set the parameter(s) with the value. Eg:
    String myFirst = "\u1073\u1091\u1081\u1085\u1086"; // note Java syntax for unicode characters...
    dbStatement.setString(1, myFirst );
    Also, the SQL you are doing is an insert, not a query, so use executeUpdate(). ExecuteQuery()
    will throw an exception.

  • JDBC driver does not support XA

    Hello,
    we have the following problem when using oracle OCI jDriver from

    Is there more than one resource participating in the transaction?
    If this is the case, and the resources are for example a database and JMS, you can emulate XA
    by using the logging last resource setting on a non-XA driver.
    An example of the above is presented here: http://middlewaremagic.com/weblogic/?p=7716 (the section my first JavaEE6 application)
    Here a stateless EJB is used that has an insertPerson method that uses a datasource and JMS in a transaction.

  • JDBC driver does not support XA,,hence cannot be a participant in two-phas

    i have enabled the LoggingLastResource option still it is not working showing the same error.
    i have a doubt in this case my datasource is of type XA then is there any need to enable any of the above option(LoggingLastResource (recommended) or EmulateTwoPhaseCommit).
    please do reply it has hampered many of the tasks.

  • Looking for oracle JDBC driver that support Rowset

    I am using oracle driver "oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver" downloaded from oracle.com and i am using cached rowset in my program but my program gave me runtime error :

  • XA transaction support in Times Ten JDBC Driver

    Hi Chris,
    Could you confirm if the JDBC driver that comes with TimesTen 7.0, supports XA transactions. XA capability is required by the JTA inorder to coordinate the transaction context between JMS and DB transactions in our J2EE application server.
    The TimesTen is accessed over client-server mode (not embedded/collocated)
    If the answer is yes, could you confirm the respective jar file of the jdbc driver, to make sure we have the right one.
    Regards
    VInod

    Chris,
    It seems, the TimesTen jdbc driver may not be fully XA compliant.
    I used following class from "ttjdbc5.jar":
    "com.timesten.jdbc.xa.TimesTenXADataSource" as javax.sql.XADataSource but it resulted in BEA WebLogic complaining about non transaction datasource while setting up datasource in weblogic:
    BEA LOGs
    <<<<<<
    weblogic.common.ResourceException: DataSource 'vkd.test.xaDS' can not be created. It is non-transactional and so can not use XA-aware pool 'vkd.test.xaDS' at weblogic.jdbc.common.internal.DataSourceManager.checkDataSource(DataSourceManager.java:239) at weblogic.jdbc.module.JDBCModule.prepare(JDBCModule.java:258) at
    >>>>>>>>
    ANy comments?
    In case of other drivers (pointbase etc) BEA automatically detects that the driver is XA and does not show following screen/option to use GlobalDatasource for non-XA drivers etc. But in case on TimesTen driver, it does not consider it to be a XA driver and prompts for GlocalDatasource for non-XA driver etc...
    I suspect, sumething is not right either in the way we are setting up TimesTen datasource in BEA WLS or TimesTen's support XA
    Is there any writeup stating how to use TimesTen with BEA/WLS?
    Please provide your expert opinion.
    Regards

  • Does JDBC driver support encryption?

    Does the JDBC driver support Oracle encryption?
    Is there a particular version of the jdbc zip file that we need?
    We're running on a Sequent, which does yet have the latest version of oracle- we're running Oracle 8.0.5.
    Is it 40 bit or 128 bit encryption?

    PreparedStatement pstmt = conn.prepareStatement(Query);
    pstmt.setString(1,"\"TESTVIPIN\"");
    pstmt.setString(2,"\"abc123\"");
