Oracle character set problem - help reqed urgent !!

Hello 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?

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.You able to fetch the image , So it is not because of the character set.
First thing you need to consider is that use certified combination of OS , client and database server only. Check Certify - Oracle's Certification Matrices

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.

Non supported character set: oracle-character-set-46??? - pls help!

Hello,
I'm running Hello World example. Could you please help me to resolve "Non supported character set: oracle-character-set-46" error i got?!?!
This seems to be nls_character problem but somehow i can't figure out what and where should be changed to solve the issue :( .
thnks,

Hello all,
thanks for nothing!
Actually i resolved issue. But still i don't understand the problem and why solution i did worked out.
Here is the solution i hope that for somebody somehow it will be usefull:
1) open ... jdevbin\jdev\lib\ext\jrad\config\jrad.properties
2) and comment out both rows:
#JRAD.APPS_JDBC_LIB14={JRAD.APPS_LIBRT_DIR}/ojdbc14.jar;{JRAD.APPS_LIBRT_DIR}/nls_charset12.zip
#JRAD.APPS_JDBC_LIB13={JRAD.APPS_LIBRT_DIR}/classes12.jar;{JRAD.APPS_LIBRT_DIR}/nls_charset12.zip
3)closed jdeveloper and opened again

Oracle to MySql character set problem

Dear Gurus,
My database is Oracle 11g R2 (11.2.0.1.0) on Sun Solaris 10. To get data from mysql database for reporting purpose, I used DG4ODBC and followed strictly the OMSC note "Detailed Overview of Connecting Oracle to MySQL Using DG4ODBC Database Link [ID 1320645.1]. Here are main configuration steps:
- Check DG4ODBC 32/64-bit
- Install and configure ODBC Driver Manager unixodbc-2.2.14
- Install and configure MyODBC 5.1.8
- Configure tnsnames.ora and listener.ora
- Create db links
Oracle character set is AL32UTF8
MySQL charactoer set is uft8

# ODBC env variables
set ODBCINI=$ODBC_HOME/etc/odbc.ini
My issue is I can query data from mysql database tables but the output is incorrect in character type columns (VARCHAR columns). It just shows the first character in such columns. I tried to read through some OMSC notes but none is useful. If you experienced on such issues, please share your idea / help me resolve it.
Thanks much in advance,
Hieu

[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.

yupp finally i got the solution. . .
I was using connection from tomcat connection pooling.
Hence, even though i was setting the classes12.jar and nls_charset12.jar in the classpath and compiling, -In runtime tomcat was using its own classes in the common/lib folder. . .(which might not support oracle-character-set-178.)
So just added this jars into the common/lib of tomcat instead of web-inf/lib of my project
and things began working. . .
Thanks for the hint jshell. . .

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.
Adam
PS:The NLS_CHARACTERSET of Oracle is AL32UTF8.

It is sql server 2005 and Collation is SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS

I am not an expert here,
but it seems that since you are using ojdbc14.jar you may actually need the
nls_charset12.jar
instead of the one I suggested previously.

Character set Problem (From WE8ISO8859P1 to EL8MSWIN1253)

Hi there,
I would like to describe a problem that I face with import, export and Greek characters.
I have two databases with the following characteristics
Source database:
O/S version Windows
Database version à 10GR2
NLS_CHARACTERSET à WE8ISO8859P1
NLS_NCHAR_CJARACTERSET à AL16UTF16
NLS_LANGUAGE à GREEK
NLS_TERRITORY à GREECE
Target database:
O/S version Windows
Database version à 10GR2
NLS_CHARACTERSET à EL8MSWIN1253
NLS_NCHAR_CJARACTERSET à AL16UTF16
NLS_LANGUAGE à GREEK
NLS_TERRITORY à GREECE
From the source database, using the export tool I am exporting a table (TABLE_A) which contains Greek records. At this point I want to mention that the from the source database I am able to read the Greek characters from TABLE_A by using sqlplus i.e (select * from table_a;)
On the target database by using import I load the table TABLE_A into the database.
When I select the newly imported TABLE_A on the target database I am not able to read the Greek characters.
I have tested various scenarios by using different values for the NLS_LANG variable regarding export and import clients but I did not manage to read the Greek characters on the target database.
If anyone faced the same or a similar problem please I am asking for assistance.
Thank you in advance

Please, review this thread:
Re: Arabic Character set conversion-help needed
The thread describes a similar issue for Arabic data. Therefore, when reading the thread, substitute 'WE8ISO8859P1' for 'AR8ISO8859P6', 'EL8MSWIN1253' for 'AR8MSWIN1256', and 'Greek' for 'Arabic'.

(*bump*)
Almost the exact same problem here...
"conn" is an object of type OracleConnection
"cst" is an object of type "CallableStatement"
"xml" is a String holding a well-formed XML document (say, "<foo><bar>value</bar></foo>")
XMLType xt = XMLType.createXML(conn, xml);
cst.setObject(1, xt); // BOOM! Non supported character set: oracle-character-set-178
Other relevant details:
Using the 9.2.0.3 JDBC thin client (ojdbc14.jar)
Using the newest nls_charset12.zip (in the 9.2.0.3 download section under the "1.2/1.3" heading.
JDK1.4.1_03 (04?)
Oracle itself is 9.2.0.3
database charset is 'WE8MSWIN1252' (yeah, I fought with the DBA and lobbied for UTF-8, but obviously he won that battle... sigh...)
Also relevant... prior to a few days ago, it worked. Then, the DBA did an upgrade and the charset errors began. It's hard to get a straight answer from him because his English isn't very good, but my guess is that he updated it from 9.2.0.1 to 9.2.0.3.
