NLS Character Set problem
Hi all,
I am getting very tricky kind of problem oracle 10G. When I am try to insert a special character like '?' in 180 degree opposite direction( means imagine if we rotate the given special character ' ? ' in 180 degree), its perfectly inserting and I am able to see that character in the same way which I inserted in my production database. But if I try to do the sme in my development database and try to view it using select statement, its showing like normal '?' , not in a rotated one. Can any one help me to figure out this problem.
thanks in advance.

I suppose you are using a spanish database and this problem it's normal: database doesn't reconigzes this "special character" and it prints this as a "easy conversion" (but not usefull conversion). I want suggest you to use any of the 'NLS_....' parameters at session level (or statment level, if you can). With 'NLS_LANG' you can define country language characterset. If you type well your database can recognize this character among others, like 'ñ', 'á', 'à', etc. If this not runs well you probably will need to change the entire database character set.

Agent control character set problem
Hi,
here's my problem :
i've got the grid that's running on a RHES4 with an agent. On another RHES4, i've got 10g databases that run and another agent.
The repository database is configured like this :
nsl_language = AMERICAN
nls_territory = AMERICA
character set = AL32UTF8
all the uploads from the agent on the RHES4 where the grid is installed are ok.
On the other server, as soon as there's an UTF8 character in a xml file (like " é " ou " ' "), the upload fails and the agent stops.
in the logs, it s clear it comes from this. I've deleted all the occurences of UTF8 characters in the xml file and restarted the upload and it's ok...
I've tested different configurations but without success.
Any clue ?
AlivetuThanks for the reply,
NLS LANG is set on the 2 machines with FRENCHFRANCE.WE8ISO8859P15
I've added the line '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>' at the beginning of the xml file that doesn't work and made a 'emctl upload'....it has passed and the agent has stopped arrived to another UTF8 xml file...
So, it really is a character set problem but where to set it ???

여기서는 US7ASCII에서 KO16KSC5601로 옮기는 경우를 알아보자.
우선 바꾸고자 하는 CHRACTER SET이 지원되는 지를 다음 명령으로
확인한다.
select convert('a','KO16KSC5601','US7ASCII') from dual;
만약 이 Select 문에서 ORA-01482 에러가 발생하면 지정한 CHARACTER

As the above log shown, I cannot do any backup command in the RUN bracket and it complains that the character set is not recognized.
This set of error happens when I have create six other Oracle databases in my NT box. Before that, I can manually run the backup with no problem and a backupset has been generated.
If you have come across this problem and have solutions of it. That will be great.

Using translate function to correct character set problem....
I have a table(TBL_STOCK) on Oracle XE.
Rows come from sql server 2005 with a trigger on sql server table via the linked server.
But there is a character set problem with some character like İ,Ş,Ğ.
They change to Ý,Þ,Ð. in Oracle.
How can i correct these ? Do you suggest the TRANSLATE function ?
What do u think, if i create an After Insert trigger on Oracle table(TBL_STOCK) and convert these character using the Translate function when they inserted from sql server.
Anyone have any other ideas that can be more efficient. Any thoughts appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

PS:The NLS_CHARACTERSET of Oracle is AL32UTF8.It is sql server 2005 and Collation is SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS

Oracle 8i us7ascii character set problem - help required urgent.
Hi frnds,
I have a oracle 8i database server installed on sun solaris os. The database character set is us7ascii. In one of the tables TIFF images are stored in a long column. I m trying to fetch these images using oracle 9i client and visual basic(oracle ODBC drivers). But i m unable to do so. I can not fetch special characters.
Is it because of the character set problem? but when i run my code on the server itself, i m able to fetch the images. I tried to fetch the images using oracle 8 i client on windows XP machine but could not do so. Are there any special settings that i have to do on the client side?Indeed, it's an ODBC issue. Read this statement from Oracle:
From ODBC 8.1.7.2.0 drivers onwards it's NOT possible any more to
"disable" Characterset conversion by specifying for the NLS_LANG
the same characterset as the database characterset. There is now
ALWAYS a check to see if a codepoint is valid for that characterset.
Typically you will encounter problems if you upgrade an environment
that has NO NLS_LANG set on the client (or US7ASCII) and the database
was also US7ASCII. This incorrect setup allowed you to store characters
like èçàé in an US7ASCII database, with the new 8i drivers this is not possible
any more.
Basic problem is the 'wrong' characterset US7ASCII in the database. As long as no characterset conversion happens (that's the case on the unix server), special characters are no problem.

First thing you need to consider is that use certified combination of OS , client and database server only. Check Certify - Oracle's Certification Matrices

Hi,
We have datawarehouse environment..
Currently the NLS Character set in our database is WE8MSWIN1252 which is non multibyte character set.But since this is a datawarehouse environment datawill be coming from source which is multi byte character set.Could you please let us know whether this will be supported in WE8MSWIN1252 character set or not??
Thanks,

Turkish character set problem in Windows
Hi;
I am developing an application in VB.net 2005 using an oracle database on the Linux server.
I have Oracle Client installed on my windows machine.
I installed ODT.NET and ODP.Net by executing ODTwithODAC10202.exe on the client side.
I am using Turkish character set in Windows.
I have couples of problems I couldn't manage..
1. I cannot use 'i' character in database password since it leads to error: 'Invalid user ıd or password'
2. I cannot use Pooling parameter in my oracle connection string, since it leads to error 'Pooling is invalid attribute of connetion string'
3. I cannot store Turkish characters to the database.

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 SzecsyDmitry,
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. -

I find it odd it doesnt tell me what character set is used. If i run a dump 1016 on a varchar2 on the same table, i get:
Typ=1 Len=14 CharacterSet=AL32UTF8: 53,74,65,c3,a9,70,68,61,6e,65,c3,a9,c3,a0
Any ideas? This is frustrating.... xml data gets corrupted everytime it's edited in SQLDeveloper.

DIR7 Character Set Problem / Foreign Language
Hi there,
I am working on an app built using Director 7 that until now
has used the standard English (latin-1) character set.
However, I am required to deliver a new version including
some elements displayed in a second language, in this case Welsh,
which uses characters outside of the normal set. I believe those
required are included in Latin-1 Extended, otherwise in Unicode as
a whole, obviously.
I am having specific problems with two characters that appear
to be missing from Latin-1, which are: ŵ and ŷ
(w-circumflex, and y-circumflex [i think!]).
In a standard text box I create using Director, I am unable
either to paste either character in, or enter it using its
ALT+combination, let alone save to the associated database.
I have read that Dir 11 is the first version with full
Unicode support - which surprises me - however I would assume that
someone would likely have hit this, or a similar issue before the
release of this version and was wondering if there is a possible
solution without upgrade.
My possible thinking is either a declaration that allows
change of a Charset, as I might do in XHTML for example, or
deployment of an Xtra that allows me to use a different character
set.
If anyone could shed some light on the matter, it would be
very helpful! Thanks in advance!
Rich.Yes, this was always a problem for years. Back when I was
**** this, we had
some projects that needed text displayed in various
languages. Each
language presented its own challenges. Things like Greek
weren't too bad,
because the Symbol font works for most Greek text. (Only
problem was the
's' version of Sigma, which had to switch back to Times New
Roman.) Various
eastern European languages (Polish, Czech, Hungarian, etc.)
posed a problem
with some of the accents that were not available in standard
font sets. We
were forced to live without some of the more exotic accents,
but were told
that it would still be readable without them, if not exactly
correct. This
would probably be the closest to your situation, from what
little I know
about Welsh. It could be worse, though. Hebrew and Arabic
were challenging
as they are written right-to-left, and thus had to have code
written to
input them backwards. Russian was also tough, as the Cyrillic
alphabet has
more characters than the others, but I was able to find a
font to fake it.
(It replaced some of the lesser-used standard characters in
order to fill in
all the letters, which unfortunately meant that in the rare
cases where
those characters *were* needed, we had to improvise.) The
hardest by far
were any east Asian languages. In that case, I gave up on
trying to display
any of the text in text form, and just converted it all to
bitmaps. Without
Unicode, trying to display Mandarin or Japanese or Korean
correctly as text
is pretty much impossible. -
Character Setting Problem ( mysql + tomcat )
Hi all;
I am using mysql dbms and tomcat web server(servlet). But in my web page, the characters are shown broken. I set the character set of the mysql database. They are shown well in the dbms console. And also I set the html code with appropriate character set in the meta tags. Do I need to make any extra setting? Perhaps in the tomcat or anywhere else? What is the problem here?assumes:
1. using jsp to display the db data
2. db encoding is ISO-8859-1
3. jsp encoding is utf-8
for the very first line of the jsp file:
<%@ page pageEncoding="utf-8" %>before displaying the data:
String str = <data from db>
str = new String(str.getBytes("ISO-8859-1"), "UTF-8"); -
Dear All,
We are currently working on Oracle 8i to 9i migration and unicode implementation of an application SampleDB. We encountered an issue (described below) while the data migration.
Issue:
We have a database in oracle8i with
NLS_LANGUAGE AMERICAN
NLS_CHARACTERSET WE8ISO8859P1
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET WE8ISO8859P1
The character set WE8ISO8859P1 does not support GREEK language. The user inserts/modifies records in this database from the front-end. The front end installed in the client machine has the following setting:
Control Panel->Regional settings ->Advanced ->Language for non-unicode programs = Greek
Oracle client installed in English
Greek characters have been inserted/ updated into this database and retrieved and displayed correctly by the GUI.
Note: Greek data has been inserted into WE8ISO8859P1 database which does not support Greek characters.
Hence the actual data that is stored in the database are not Greek. Only while displaying, they are getting converted into Greek characters due to the settings in the client machine.
Requirement: Migrate the database to Oracle 9i - Unicode.
While migration, we need to eliminate any data discrepancy and make sure the data in the Unicode database is in Greek.
Can any one suggest us a method to do the migration to avoid the above mentioned problem?
Further, can any one tell us a way to verify what characters get stored in the database and help us identify if they are real Greek charactersThe character set WE8ISO8859P1 does not support GREEK language.If you want to support Greek characters (or 'math' symbols), look at the EL8... char sets.
Control Panel->Regional settings ->Advanced
->Language for non-unicode programs = Greek
Oracle client installed in EnglishThis is dependent on the app and Windows. What is the NLS_LANG value in this Oracle home? NLS_LANG should be adjusted to fit the application.
Note: Greek data has been inserted into WE8ISO8859P1
database which does not support Greek characters.
Hence the actual data that is stored in the database
are not Greek. Only while displaying, they are
getting converted into Greek characters due to the
settings in the client machine.Maybe character data does not get converted, but still shown as greek.
Further, can any one tell us a way to verify what
characters get stored in the database and help us
identify if they are real Greek charactersIn the case of character data, what you really store depends on the db and the character values. You can use dump or some other PL function to look at the values.
There's a Database Globalization Support Guide for 9.2 that might be useful.
