Oracle error message language

How to change the language of the eroor message. I've installed oracle in english, but my regional settings were german. I'd like to switch back to english.
Thanks

Maria,
The NLS_LANG variable is made up of three components: LANGUAGE_TERRITORY.CHARACTERSET.
Therefore dependent on the character set that you specified for your database, you should set NLS_LANG as specified above.
e.g. If your database character set is 'WE8ISO8859P1' then set NLS_LANG as follows:
'AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1'

    Verbatim from the manual:
    ORA-01401:     inserted value too large for column
    Cause:     The value entered is larger than the maximum width defined for the column.
    Action:     Enter a value smaller than the column width or use the MODIFY option with ALTER TABLE to expand the column width.You should find which value is bein attempted to be inserted into a column with a capacity shorter than the value length.

  • Oracle error message code 1653 op 4, ORA-01653: unable to extend table

    Hi
    Our application use Oracle 9i as database. I modified one of tables and try to convert it from this application, then I got an Oralce 1653 error as followings:
    Creating Table SAMPLE_T
    Copying data from SAMPLE to SAMPLE_T
    Unable to move data from table 'SAMPLE' to table 'SAMPLE_T'
    Oracle error message code 1653 op 4, ORA-01653: unable to extend table SAND.SAMPLE_T by 1024 in tablespace SAMPLE_RESULT
    I suspect the tablespace SAMPLE_RESULT is not big enough and also can not extended automatically, but not sure if it is right or there maybe other reasons behind this error.
    Any idea?
    Thanks
    Li

    Lets try .....
    SQL> select tablespace_name,sum(bytes)/1024 from dba_free_space where tablespace_name='USERS' group by tablespace_name;
    TABLESPACE_NAME                SUM(BYTES)/1024

    SQL> alter database datafile 'C:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MYDB\USERS01.DBF' autoextend off;
    SQL> alter table scott.emp allocate extent;
    Table altered.
    SQL> /
    alter table scott.emp allocate extent
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-01653: unable to extend table SCOTT.EMP by 128 in tablespace USERSI believe you must add more space to tablespace SAMPLE_RESULT or set the autoextend on for associated datafiles.
    Hope it help ..

  • Oracle error message categorization

    Good morning,
    Do you know any document / url classifying ORACLE ERROR messages by category (for exemple connexion issue / memory issue / datafile issue etc)?
    The purpose is to grop log file and generate a call in case of specific Oracle error.
    In case of connexion issue - user not allowed to connect on a schema - I should raise a call
    In case of autoextend issue, I should raise a call.
    Thank you.

    arrgh,
    I found this doco but I was hoping something else exist
    Thanks

  • Handling Oracle error messages

    I'm hoping this is a simple question.
    I have an updatable report I'm using to collect data. It's pretty vanilla - I just used the default templates. I have a unique index constraint on the form's underlying table. When I violate the constraint and attempt to save a row, I get redirected to what looks to be a default error page that isn't very user friendly.
    Can someone tell me how I can specify a different error message depending on the error number Oracle returns?
    Thanks for any info.

    The whole problem is divided in two parts: Exception is defined or not, I'll show you haow to handle exception that do not exist and want to trap them.
    I saw that there is no named exception for ORA error "-00054", which is raised when record is locked. So I define my exception as:
    busy_resource EXCEPTION;
      PRAGMA EXCEPTION_INIT(busy_resource, -00054);Now to handle this exception in the Appex process looks like:
    begin
      ...your code ...
      :PXX_msg := 'OK!';
    exception
      when busy_resource THEN
        :PXX_msg := 'Record is locked. Try later';
      when others then
        :PXX_msg := 'Unknown error!;
    end;where "PXX_msg" is hidden item acesable on the page, XX represent page number.
    And in "Process Error Message" part of process don't put anything because all errors are handled and error will never happened. If you want that part put in excepttion part "RAISE;" command so erro will be raised!!!
    And in "Process Success Message" of the same process put also:
    "&PXX_msg."
    So you can see the result in much pleasent way!
    You have the same variable as result and now all to do is imagine exceptions that could happened. For the first time allways try to put some logging in "WHEN OTHERS THEN" part top collect as much as possible errors that could happened.
    Hope this helps!

  • Lookup of Oracle Error Message at application level

    Hi
    I'm writing a c# application that connects to an oracle database. My application queries a table containing a column with oracle error codes BUT NO ERROR MESSAGES. The application must show these error descriptions to the user. As I cannot expect the user to know errorcodes, the application should be able to translate it into the error message
    e.g.: instead of showing "ORA-13349" I'd like to show a textbox "polygon boundary crosses itself".
    Question: is the mapping <error_code, error_message> accessible to an application? How ?
    Thank you,
    Marco
    ps: it's not possible to change the stored procedure! I've to solve it at the application level

    You can use the function: standard.sqlerrm and pass as parameter the number of the error.

  • Oracle Error Messages....

    Just trying to confirm something I suspect to be true. If Oracle encounters an error when your client machine cannot find the database specified in the tnsnames.ora file would you receive one or both of the following error messages?
    ORA-12198: TNS: could not find path to destination
    ORA-12203: TNS: unable to connect to destination
    I suspect this would be an either or situation but am unable to confirm it through technet.

    Here's what I found in the docs:
    <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>
    TNS-12198 TNS:could not find path to destination
    Cause: Could not navigate a path through Interchanges to the destination. This error occurs if an invalid community is in the address string, or the address includes a protocol that is not available or the TNSNAV.ORA file does not have a correct CMANAGER address specified or the Interchange is down.
    Action: Assure that Interchanges necessary to get to the desired destination are up and have available capacity for an additional connection. Also check that the correct community and protocol have been specified in the CMANAGER address used.
    <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
    <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>
    TNS-12203 TNS:unable to connect to destination
    Cause: Invalid TNS address supplied or destination is not listening. This error can also occur because of underlying network transport problems.
    Action: Verify that the service name you entered on the command line was correct. Ensure that the listener is running at the remote node and that the ADDRESS parameters specified in TNSNAMES.ORA are correct. Finally, check that all Interchanges needed to make the connection are up and running.

    Hi. I'm a total newbie to the Oracle world. I am using SQL *Plus Worksheet on a computer in Holland and all of my error messages are displaying in Dutch. Since I don't understand Dutch I am trying to find a way to make the messages display in English just for my sessions.

  • Capturing Oracle Error Messages

    Hi when developing some applications, I come across some error messages that I would like to make custom error messages.
    for example: ORA-00001: unique constraint (CREATE_USER.IC_ITEM_GENDERS_PK) violated
    Is there a way to capture this message and then make a user friendly message. Any info. would be great.
    Thanks

    If you write your own after-submit processes, you can write an appropriate exception handler, something like
    begin
    exception when dup_val_on_index -- ORA-0001
    then :P1_ERROR := 'Nice error message';
    end;Then show some "Error" HTML region with &P1_ERROR. conditional upon P1_ERROR being not null.
    AFAIK, there is no way to do this when the error is raised by the wizard-generated automatic DML or MRU processes. For that, you could try to put your error checking code in a Validation (and specify your nice error message). If the validation fails, the after-submit processes are not fired so the "ugly" error messages will not be seen by the user.
    Hope this helps.

    I thought OERR tool is missing or not installed with my Oracle9i version in
    WindowsXP likewise I'm unable to use TKPROF utility also which is not
    been provided in Oracle9i-R1.
    I presumed OERR and TKPROF utilities are not provided in 9i for Windows,
    until you clarified that OERR executes under Unix only.

  • Oracle Error Message - what does the below mean?

    Can anyone tell me what error message "AVAILABLE.multi_select_procedure raised unhandled exception (WHEN-CHECKBOX-CHANGED) means?

    If you have the space available on your hard drive and don't aready have a backup copy of the library make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

    Hi!
    I am new with the Forms Developer. My question is: how can I display the error message givan back by the database server. The SQLERRM contains no value.

    It seems it is adding some system level error.Of course it does, for you raise that error with the line
    raise srw.program_abort;Instead of that line, let the function return FALSE
