Error while running package ORA-06553: PLS-553 character set name is not re

Hi all.
I have a problem with a package, when I run it returns me code error:
ORA-06552: PL/SQL: Compilation unit analysis terminated
ORA-06553: PLS-553: character set name is not recognized
The full context of the problem is this:
Previously I had a developing data base, then was migrated to a new server. After that I started to receive the error, so I began to check for the solution.
My first move was compare the “old database” with the “new database”, so I check the nls parameters, and this was the result:

How to handle national character set datatypes in oracle?

Hi
Can anyone tell me how to handle national character set datatypes in oracle?
Thanks in advance

And for data manipulation, append "N" the literal values being used in the command.
The "N" indicates that the string is to be treated as Unicode Text.
For Example: insert into TableName (ColumnName) values (N'ValueToBeInserted');

Hi James,
IMP-69 can occur if you try to use an EARLIER version of IMPORT against an export (.dmp) file produced by a LATER version of EXPORT.
How about trying this:
Use the 8.1.5 EXPORT utility from Win2K to connect to your Solaris 8.1.7 database; then use the 8.1.5 IMPORT utility to import the file into the 8.1.5 W2K database.

NATIONAL CHARACTER SET UTF8

Hi,
on 10g, on Win 2003, how to verify if database is NATIONAL CHARACTER SET UTF8 ?
Thank you.

SELECT *
FROM v$nls_parameterswill show you all the NLS parameters. You're presumably looking for the row where parameter = 'NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET' though there may be a few more parameters that you're interested in.

National character set in JSP report

Hi. National character set is not seen in JSP reports, while in paper reports all is OK. What's the problem?

Hi Volodia,
You can set the character set inside the JSP as:
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1" %>
Change the character set to "utf-8" or an appropriate value.
Alternatively, in the web browser also, you can change the encoding (View > Encoding > ...)

National Character setting

DB version
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bit

My DB has National character set set to unicode (NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET     AL16UTF16) and character set to US7ASCII (NLS_CHARACTERSET     US7ASCII).
When i create a table with nvarchar2 column and insert in a my language word (month name) then upon fetching rows it shows some different results... why such behavior?
select sysdate from dual;

[urgent] oracle character set and national character set !!(dictionary)

Hi. everyone.
What is the oracle dictionary that contains information of
oracle character set and national character set?
I checked v$database, but there was not the information.
It seems that there are some differences between "nls_* " init parameters
and the database character set.
"Alter database backup controlfile to trace" gave me the character set of db,
but I would like to know whether there are oracle dictionary regarding them.
Thanks in advance. Have a nice day.
Best Regards.

I found the dictionary which contains the information of character set and
natiional character set of database.
select * from nls_database_parameters
where parameter like '%CHARACTERSET';
Thanks for reading.
Have a good day.
Best Regards.

Fixed & variable width national character set

In its discussion of NCHAR and NVARHCAR2 datatypes, Oracle talks about fixed width and variable width database character sets. What are they?
I think the concept of fixed length (i.e. NCHAR) and variable length(i.e. NVARCHAR2) types is a different thing. That I understand.
From Oracle doc:
'If the national character set of the database is fixed width, such as JA16EUCFIXED, then you declare the NCHAR column size as the number of characters desired for the string length. If the national character set is variable width, such as JA16SJIS, you declare the column size in bytes.'
null

Fixed width charactersets are those in which each character is defined by a fixed number of bits, say 7 or 8 or 16
Variable width charactersets are those for which either 7 or 8 or 16 bits are used to save space. Let us say a character needs only 7 bits, then only 7 bits will be used in this case, and if another character needs 16 bits, they will be used.
In fixed width all characters have same number of bits, so it has higher space requirement.
These have nothing to do with char and varchar2 data types.....

National character set in file *.properties

Do you know how to set national chafracter set in file with extention .properities? It is very comortable put all text in this file, but it doesn't display correctly. If I write something on JSP page (not from file *.properties) it displays in a proper way. Have you solve such problem?

You're talking resource bundles?
Check out the tool "native2ascii" that comes with java.

ORA-19036: Invalid query result set in newContextFromHierarchy()

Hi,
I'm getting this error occasionally when using a CONNECT BY query to generate a hierarchical XML. Using Oracle 10g. The action suggested is "Make sure the query used in newContextFromHierarchy() is a CONNECT BY query or the query returns the result set have the same property as the result set generated by a CONNECT BY query." Not very helpful since I am using a CONNECT BY query which works fine 99% of the time. Appreciate any help.
Thanks!
