Multiple Character set for NLS

Hi,
I'm using Oracle 8i database. Is it possible to set the different character set for the database? The requirement is to support the two different character set data, one (main) Japanese character set and other Simplified Japanese. Or is there any other way in which i can store these data (Japanese & Chinese)?
Thanks & Regards,
Jayesh

Please don't get me wrong. Currently it is set in the windows database. I did not set nls_lang at the command prompt before import into windows. However nls_lang is already set and it is character set WE8ISO8859P1 the same as the value I specified in creation script, besides the other two values AMERICAN, AMERICA. They are now same in both solaris and windows. Only the character sets are different because I specified a different one. So, is it ok or do I now need another fresh import this time with nls_lang set to AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8 ?

Matching across multiple character sets

Would like to know whether anyone has attempted matching across multiple character sets, for example, between English and Japanese: what are the pitfalls to avoid, what are the best practices, and what you would like to see from application/tools perspective as an ideal solution. thanks

If you upgrade to Logic Pro, you'll get WaveBurner as part of the package which helps you do this, including tweaking your pauses between tracks, fades etc.
If you have Toast, you can do it there too.
If you don't have any 3rd. party software, the work around would be to assemble all your songs in order, end to end in a new Logic file, and listen to all your tracks and adjust the relative levels between songs, then bounce out the individual tracks which have volume changes with their new volume settings. Finally you could then use any burning app such as [SimplyBurns|http://bit.ly/c1oglP] to create CDs or bounce them out in Logic with the additional .mp3 option.
Obviously it's important to listen to your material in order, in context, as some songs will be at the wrong subjective level depending on the tracks either side in the placement. This isn't really important in digital distribution where your material probably won't be listened to as a whole, but as individual downloads.

Yes you can create a datbase which supports Japenese character set.
The CREATE DATABASE statement has the CHARACTER SET clause and the additional optional NATIONAL CHARACTER SET to declare the character set to be used as the database character set and the national character ser. If no national character set clause is present, the national character set default to AL16UTF16.
You can use approprite NLS charcter while creating database.

How does one install non-English character sets for use with the "find" function in Acrabat Pro 11?

I have pdf files in European languages and want to be able to enter non-English characters in the "find" function. How does one install other character sets for use with Acrobat Pro XI?

Have you tried applying the update by going to Help>Updates within Photoshop Lightroom? The update should be using the same licensing? Did you perhaps customize the installation location? Finally which operating system are you using?

Multiple character sets on a single page

JDev 11.1.1.5 - WLS 10.0.3.5
I have an application that needs to have some fields in a different character set (like Amharic) and some in English.
These are fixed - so when the user enters the field - it should already be in the different language.
I use UTF8 for all my jspx. The fonts are unicode. The database is setup for NVARCHAR.
I am using ADF.
What do I need to do to create this kind of page? Where do I install the fonts? And how do I make the Input Text default to the appropriate character set for display/input?

No, you can only have one <f:view> per JSP page (including any pages that page includes), and the locale must be the same for the complete response (because it's also used when the post-back request is parsed).
It's hard to say from your description if this makes sense or not, but why don't you use static text for the part that is always in German, and only localize the parts of the page that needs it?

Flat File Load Issue - Cannot convert character sets for one or more charac

We have recently upgraded our production BW system to SPS 17 (BW SP19)
and we have issues loading flat files (contain Chinese, Japanese and
Korean characters) which worked fine before the upgrade. The Asian
languages appear as invalid characters (garbled) as we can see in PSA. The Character Set
Settings was previously set as Default Setting and it worked fine until
the upgrade abd we referred to note 1130965 and with the code page 1100
the load went through (without the Cannot convert character sets for one or more characters error) however the Asian language characters will appear
as invalid characters. We tried all the code pages suggested in the note e.g.
4102, 4103 etc on the info packages but it did not work. Note that the
flat files are encoded in UTF-8.

I checked lower case option for all IO
When i checked the PSA failed log no of records processed is "0 of 0" my question is with out processing single record system is througing this error message.
When i use same file loading from local workstation no error message
I am thinking when I FTP the file from AS/400 to BI Application Server(Linex) some invalid characters are adding but how can we track that invalid char?
Gurus please share your thoughts on this I will assign full points.
Thanks,

Cannot convert character sets for one or more characters

Hello,
Issue:
Source File: Test.csv
Source file dropped on application server as csv file via FTP
Total records in csv file 102396
I can able to load only 38,000 records after that I am getting error message " convert character sets for one or more characters" while loading into PSA .
If i load same csv file from local workstation I am not getting any error message I can able to load total 102396 records.
I am guessing while FTP the file into Application server some invalid codes adding?
But I am FTP 7 files, out of 7 I am unable to load only 1 file.
Anybody have faced this kind of problem please share with me I will assign full points
Thanks

Lanovo ix4 300d and european character set for samba shares

Hi,
I am installing a couple of IX4-300d at a client site, struggling to set and fix the samba character set for the Windows shares. Here in Italy everyone is used to put western european characters into filenames (for example è ò ° €) but the NAS acts wierdly when it finds such caracters in folder names and file names.
As you know samba gives the possibility to declare dos charset= ISO8859-1 and unix charset= ISO8859-1 in the smb.conf file but the option is not present in the IX4 setup pages.
Is there an easy way to circumvent the problem and fix this option? As it is now the machine is fearly useless, at least if you need to migrate files and folder from a server or storage with ISO8859 charset already applied.
thanks a lot

This issue has been raised on all iomega drives since day 1. although 'documented' it is still shame, that units sold to 'r-o-w' means rest-of-world, outside US, are stuckto Aa-Zz09 basically wheras client systems ( windows, linux, ios ) don't care and take what they are supposed to do.

How to set NLS character set for report 9i servlet output?

Hi,
I am running a Reports 9i report. My problem is that the output HTML file is UTF8 encoded while ALL my 9iASR2 registry setting are set to EEISO8859P2. When I issued the http://<host:port>/reports/rwservlet/showenv?server=servername command it returned that the NLS setting is UTF8.
Can somebody please help me, how to set this environment variable for the report servlet to EE..P1? Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Tamas Szecsy

Dmitry,
recently I got this from Oracle support. :-(. Currently when I set the Windows 2000 local and default local to Hungarian and the charset to EE..P2 then I get Central-European encoded charset. I think you will have to experience around to get correct result (if it is possible at all).

This is bug Number 2472932 NLS:RWSERVLET SETS INVALID CHARSET AT THE HTTP HEADER
marked as fixed in 9.0.2.2 . unfortunately this bug is not published so I will not be able to sent you the bug as a whole but here is problem description in bug:
iAS9.0.2.0.1 (Reports9.0.2.0.1) on Solaris2.8
Running rdf with rwservlet sends the invalid charset at the http header.
Say ias is up with LANG=C, http header for the rwservlet
is always sent as "iso-8859-1" regardless of rwserver's NLS_CHARACTERSET.
This is the TCP/IP packet for the GET /reports/rwservlet?report=xxx&....
HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Sat, 20 Jul 2002 01:15:37 GMT Cache-Cont
rol: private Content-Language: en Server: Oracle9iAS/9.0.2 Ora
cle HTTP Server Oracle9iAS-Web-Cache/9.0.2.0.0 (N) Content-Leng
th: 6908 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Set-Cooki
In this example, to produce a html with other charset than
iso-8859-1,usually the outputted html has the charset information at
meta tag by setting "Before Report Value" property in rdf.
However charset in meta tag is less priority than http header, browser
such as IE6 or Netscape7 firstly displays the page in iso-8859-1.
Hence the characters other than iso8859p1 gets garbage.
To workaround it with IE6/NS7, set proper encoding manually.
('View'-'Encoding' for IE 'View'-'Character coding' for NS7 )
However, NS4.7 does not have workaround for it.
Besides, starting opmn in LANG=ja, the rwservlet's http header becomes
Shift_JIS!!. Thus rwserver seems to set the http header based on the
LANG on Solaris.
To fix these issues,
- The http header for rwservlet shold be based on the nls_characterset
for the rwserver.
This is no problem for reprots jsp run.

How Data Integrator supports multiple character sets in a single ETL transaction

When using Data Integrator (DI) to process a mix of multi-byte and single-byte data, it is recommended that you use UTF-8 for the job server codepage. You can, however, use different codepages for the individual datastores.Imagine this situation : Great Big Company Inc. wants to create a global customer database. To do this, Great Big Company Inc. must read from a database of US customers, and a database of Korean customers. Great Big Company Inc. then wants to load both sets of customers into a single database.Can DI manage these requirements? Of course. The codepage is the thing.

I've never seen this used the way you are using it. In my experience the only way to do this would be to execute a single SQL statement that returns multiple result sets - you are trying to append two SQL statements.
You could define an in-line procedure wrapping your two select statements, or you could define a stored procedure to do the same thing. Then (either way) use CallableStatement to execute the call to the procedure.

Changing DB character set for only one schema

We are interested in changing the characterset of only one user from Western European to AL32UTF8.
Could you please verify if the following steps will be correct to do the same.
1. Run CSScan on the one user
2. Fix any issues
3. Export that one user (with NLS_LANG set to <your old database character set>)
4. Create a new database in the AL32UTF8 character set
5. Import that one user into the new database (with NLS_LANG set to <your old database character set>)

Actually your title is a little incorrect. You are not changing CS for only one schema in existing DB which is not possible. You are trying to migrate a schema to new CS DB. Which is totally doable and your approach is mostly correct.
Database Character Set Scanner provide user scan mode
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14225/ch12scanner.htm#i1006013
Mostly the issue could be data truncation, especially if you have column defined using char or varchar2 vs nchar and nvarchar2
because char/varchar is defined in bytes, AL32UTF8 is multi-bytes char set, some character of your old data could saved more than 1 bytes in new DB and can't fit into the column size.

Installing Character Sets for different languages

We have a need to have the character sets installed for 14 different languages. Our BW system will receive data from other systems with different languages installed. We don't necessarily need to login with these languages but just need the character sets in order to properly read the data. Do we need to go thru the entire language installation process for each language in order to get the character sets installed? That seems like a rather lengthy process and I'm looking for other options. Also, once I get all of these character sets into my development system is it possible to transport these characters sets into my QA and Production
systems?

1. Start the FM 7.0 installation from the CD.
2. Work your way to the Setup screen and select "Custom" installation.
3. Select only the "Dictionaries" components (i.e. uncheck the other
components) and click on the "Change" button.
4. This will pop-up the available "sub-components", i.e. the
dictionaries.
5. Select the ones you want and click on the "Continue" button and
then the "Next" button to install only the new dictionaries.
