OracleXE setting character set

Hi,
during installation of Oracle Express Edition the NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET is automatically set to AL16UTF16 which means that the size of NVARCHAR2 fields is limited to 2000 characters.
Is there any way to create the database setting NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET to UTF8
instead to being able to use the full 4000 characters size?
Thanks a lot for your advice!

Changing CHARACTER SET in OracleXE

Because this is my first post in this forum I like to say first "Hello" !
I do my first steps after installing OracleXE (OracleXEUnv.exe). In the database informations I saw that the Character Set (NLS_CHARACTERSET) is "AL32UTF8"., but I want to change it to "WE8MSWIN1252".
When I tried the SQL command "ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET WE8MSWIN1252;" but the system shows the message "ORA-12712: Der neue Zeichensatz muss eine Obermenge des alten Zeichensatzes sein".
How can I change the NLS_CHARACTERSET parameter ? Could it be that I have to deinstall this version und use instand the western european version (OracleXE.exe) ?
Kind regards, Michael

Could it be that I have to deinstall this version und
use instand the western european versionYup. You already knew the answer :)

Yes, Apex is almost entirely independent of the file system. There is no 'Apache' and the 'file system' is really the database exposed as a WebDAV environment.
If I understand the question correctly, what you want to do is export from the original database and import to this one. That may be done using the 'exp' and 'imp' commands at command line.
Details of advanced use of exp and imp are available in the Utilities manual found in the 10g Release 2 docco at http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/portal.portal_db?selected=1 (under the 'Books' tab).

ORA-12712 error while changing nls character set to AL32UTF8

Hi,
It is strongly recommend to use database character set AL32UTF8 when ever a database is going to used with our XML capabilities. The database character set in the installed DB is WE8MSWIN1252. For making use of XML DB features, I need to change it to AL32UTF8. But, when I try doing this, I'm getting ORA-12712: new character set must be a superset of old character set. Is there a way to solve this issue?
Thanks in advance,
Divya.

Hi,
a change from we8mswin1252 to al32utf8 is not directly possible. This is because al32utf is not a binary superset of we8mswin1252.
There are 2 options:
- use full export and import
- Use of the Alter in a sort of restricted way
The method you can choose depends on the characters in the database, is it only ASCII then the second one can work, in other cases the first one is needed.
It is all described in the Support Note 260192.1, "Changing the NLS_CHARACTERSET to AL32UTF8 / UTF8 (Unicode)". Get it from the support/metalink site.
You can also read the chapters about this issue in the Globalization Guide: [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10729/ch11charsetmig.htm#g1011430]Change characterset.

Oracle 8.1.5 install on Linux Redhat 6.0: character set (and other) problem(s)

I am trying to install Oracle 8i on Linux and it does not work : once the install is finished, I have a message saying that "Character Set not found".
I am runing a french version of Linux (fr-latin 1) and I try to install Oracle with French and English as languages
An other problem about this install : Oracle does not seem to recognize that I have 6,9 Giga for it to install, and says that I have not enough space for the install...
And at the end of the install, it takes for ages (about 15mns) during which nothing seems to happen. On one machine I got out of this phase, but on the other I never saw it finish, it looks as if the computer crashed. Is that normal?
I went through all the initialization phases, set the correct environment variables...
thanks

I've been dealing with the same problems in the english version but could bypass thiss by doing the folowing.
-Just ignore the disk space stuff
-Ignore the charset message, also
-When creating a database, choose custom and then select the WE8ISO8859P1 char set. It worked for portuguese, must work for french also.
-Everyone here recommended, and I do the same, leave the database creation for later, not during instalation.
Good Luck!

The ADO NET Source was unable to process the data. ORA-64203: Destination buffer too small to hold CLOB data after character set conversion.

We developed a SSIS Package to pull the data From Oracle source to Sql Server 2012. Here we used ADO.Net source to pull the records from Source but getting the below error after pulling some 40K records.
[ADO NET Source [2]] Error: The ADO NET Source was unable to process the data. ORA-64203: Destination buffer too small to hold CLOB data after character set conversion.
[SSIS.Pipeline] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_PRIMEOUTPUTFAILED.
The PrimeOutput method on ADO NET Source returned error code 0xC02090F5.
The component returned a failure code when the pipeline engine called PrimeOutput().
The meaning of the failure code is defined by the component,
but the error is fatal and the pipeline stopped executing.
There may be error messages posted before this with more
information about the failure.
Anything that we can do to fix this?

Hi,
Tried both....
* Having schema type as Nvarchar(max). - Getting the same error.
* Instead of ADO.Net Source used OLEDB Source with driver as " Oracle Provide for OLE DB" Getting error as below.
[OLE DB Source [478]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.
[SSIS.Pipeline] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_PRIMEOUTPUTFAILED. The PrimeOutput method on OLE DB Source returned error code 0xC0202009. The component returned a failure
code when the pipeline engine called PrimeOutput(). The meaning of the failure code is defined by the component, but the error is fatal and the pipeline stopped executing. There may be error messages posted before this with more information about the
failure.
Additional Info:
* Here the Source task is getting failed not the conversion or destination task.

Message uses a character set that is not supported by the internet service

Does any one have any advice on how to fix this problem?
E-mails sent from my iphone 3G periodically arrive in an unreadable form at the recipient. The body of the e-mail has been replaced with the message "This message uses a character set that is not supported by the internet service...." The problem e-mails also include an attachment that contains an unformatted text file containing the original message surrounded by what appears to be lots of formatting data that is displayed as gibberish.
This occurs sometimes, but not always, even with the same recipients. I am sending e-mail through a G-mail account that is configured on the iphone using IMAP. I have tried the gmail account to use the two available formatting options for mail, but neither fixes the problem.
I have also upgraded to 2.01 and restored a few times without impact.

Hi,
I got somewhat similar problem with special charecters(German umlaud �,�,�..).
I create a file with java having special charecters in it. Now if I open this file I am able to view the special charecters in it.But If I attach this file send it using following code then receiver can not see the umlaud charecters in it.They get replaced by _ or ?
MimeBodyPart mbp2 = new MimeBodyPart();
FileDataSource fds = new FileDataSource(fileName);
mbp2.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(fds));
mbp2.setFileName(output.getName());
Multipart mp = new MimeMultipart();
mp.addBodyPart(mbp2);
msg.setContent(mp);
Transport.send(msg);
From you message it looks like you are able to send the mail attachment correctly(by preserving special charecters).
Can you tell me what might be wrong in my code.
I appriciate your efforts in advance.

Oracle XE and character set

Hello all,
I installed Oracle XE on RHEL 4 Linux and I found out that database character set is AL32UTF8. Does anyone know why oracle choose this character set? Maybe because of NLS_LANG env variable? Is it possible to change it to EE8ISO8859P2? Since database is still empty I can drop it and crate new database.
Do you think it is possible to set some env variables and do new oracle xe instalation including database with iso charset?
I want to have EE8ISO8859P2 charset because of doing exp/imp from another oracle iso db to oracle xe and it is much easier to do this without charset conversion.
Any help will be appreciated.
regards,
Miha

When you download XE, you have a choice - take the 'western european' character set download, or the 'unicode' download.
No other choices.
Join us over in the XE forum where people have discussed this and found workarounds. Info about finding that forum at Re: Oracle XE Installation failed

Character sets and ado

I have a table with a clob field on an Oracle 8.1.7.4 database. When querying the clob field via odbc and ado the value is truncated. The Oracle server and client are using a WE8ISO8859P1 character set. Has anyone come across this before.
Thanks.

I believe the data should be able to be represented by IS0-8859. The data is a long random string of characters that represents a fingerprint image.
We seem to only get 996 characters back from the database. If I do a getchunk on the data then I get 996 characters of data, then 996 NULLS, then 996 characters of data and so on. The 996 NULLS should be data.
The data is in the database because I can do a dbms_lob.substr and get the correct info back.

HOW can I enter text using Japanese character sets?

The "Text, Plates, Insets" section of the LOOKOUT(6.01) Help files states:
"Click the » button to the right of the Text field to expand the field for multiple line entries. You can enter text using international character sets such as Chinese, Korean, and Japanese."
Can someone please explain HOW to do this? Note, I have NO problem inputting Hirigana, Katakana, and Kanji into MS WORD; the keyboard emulates the Japanese layout and characters (Romaji is default) and the IME works fine converting Romaji, and I can also select charcters directly from the IME Pad. I have tried several different fonts with success and am currently using MS UI Gothic.ttf as default. Again, everything is normal and working in a predictable manner within Word.
I cannot get these texts into Lookout. I can't cut/paste from HTML pages or from text editors, even though both display properly. Within Lookout with JP selected as language/keyboard, when trying to type directly into the text field, the IME CORRECTLY displays Hirigana until <enter> is pressed, at which point all text reverts to question marks (?? ???? ? ?????). If I use the IME Pad, it does pretty much the same. I managed to get the "Yen" symbol to display, though, if that's relevant. As I said, font selected (in text/plate font options) is MS UI Gothic with Japanese as the selected script. Oddly enough, at this point the "sample" window is showing me the exact Hirigana character I want displayed in Lookout, but it won't. I've also tried staying in English and copying unicode characters from the Windows Character Map. Same results (Yen sign works, Hirigana WON'T).
Help me!

JW_Tech,
Have you changed the regional setting to Japanese?

The solution to this problem is described in MetaLink note #211920.1. But this note is published with LIMITED access as it involves using a hidden parameter.

The problem itself is solved generically, if the source database is at least 10.1.0.3 and the target database is 10.2

How to add a new character set encoding?

Hello,
can anybody please explain to me, how to add a new character set encoding to Mac OS Tiger?
I have two Mac laptops, a new one with Snow Leopard and an older one with Tiger, and on the old one i cannot use or enable anywhere the "Russian (DOS)" character set encoding, which i need to be able to use some old text files.
On the Snow Leopard, this encoding is present in the list of available encodings of TextWrangler, but not in TIger.
If i have understood correctly, this is not a problem of TextWrangler, and the same encodings are available systemwide.
So, the question is: how to add new encodings to Tiger (or to Mac OS in general)?
Thanks.

I think possibly that's in the Get Info window of Finder?
I don't think either that or the input menu have any effect on available encoding choices. Adding languages to system prefs/international/languages can do that, but once you have added Russian there, I don't know of any way to add an additional Russian encoding (there are quite a number of them).

How do you define which character set gets embedded with a font embedded in the library (i.e. Korean)?

I have project that uses a shared fonts. The fonts are all
contained in a single swf ("fonts.swf"), are embedded in that swf's
library and are set to export for actionscript and runtime sharing.
The text in the project is dynamic and is loaded in from
external XML files. The text is formatted via styles contained in a
CSS object.
This project needs to be localized into 20 or so different
languages.
Everything works great with one exception: I can’t
figure out how to set which character set gets exported for runtime
sharing. i.e. I want to create a fonts.swf that contains Korean
characters, change the XML based text to Korean and have the text
display correctly.
I’ve tried changing the language of my OS (WinXP) and
re-exporting but that doesn’t work correctly. I’ve also
tried adding substitute font keys to the registry (at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes) as outlined here:
http://www.quasimondo.com/archives/000211.php
but the fonts I added did not show up in Flash's font menue.
I’ve also tried the method outlined here:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_16275
to no avail.
I know there must be a simple solution that will allow me to
embed language specific character sets for the fonts embedded in
the library but I have yet to discover what it is.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Jim,
I know that it is easy to specify the language you want to
use when setting the embed font properties for a specific text
field but my project has hundreds of text fields and I'm setting
the font globally by referencing the font symbols in a single swf.
I have looked at the info you've pointed out but wasn't
helped by it. What I'd like to be able to do is to tell Flash to
embed a language specific character-set for the font symbols in the
library. It currently is only embedding Latin characters even
though I know the fonts specified contains characters for other
languages.
For example. I have a font symbol in the libary named
"Font1". When I look at its properties I can see it is spcified as
Tahoma. I know the Tahoma font on my system contains the characters
for Korean but when I compile the swf it only contains Latin
characters (gylphs) - this corresponds to the language of my OS (US
English). I want to know how to tell Flash to embedd the Korean
language charaters rather than or as well as the Latin characters
for any given FONT SYMBOL. If I could do that, then, when I enter
Korean text into my XML files the correct characters will be
available to Flash. As it is now, the characters are not available
and thus the text doesn' t display.
Make sense?
Many thanks,
Mike

Hi,
I have a MBP 13' Late 2011 and Yosemite 10.10.2 (14C1514).
Until yesterday, I was using Garmin ConnectIQ SDK and all was working fine.
Yesterday, I've updated my system with latest security updates and Xcode updates too (Version 6.2 (6C131e)).
Since, I can't launch the ConnectIQ simulator app, I have this message in console :
8/04/2015 15:19:04,103 mds[38]: There was an error parsing the Info.plist for the bundle at URL Info.plist -- file:///Volumes/Leto/connectiq-sdk-mac-1.1.0_2/ios/ConnectIQ.bundle/

(Conversion of string failed.) UserInfo=0x7fa64f44eda0 {NSDebugDescription=Conversion of string failed.}
I have looked at this file and it looks like a binary plist

I guess it is a normal format but my system seems to be unable to read binary plist ?
I tried some stuff with plutil
plutil -lint Info.plist
Info.plist: Unexpected character b at line 1
Same for convert
plutil -convert xml1 Info.plist
Info.plist: Property List error: Unexpected character b at line 1 / JSON error: JSON text did not start with array or object and option to allow fragments not set.
I also try to download a fresh version of the connectIQ SDK and no changes.
Any idea ?
Thanks

Step by step, how did you arrive at seeing this agreement?
