Please remove/clarify download for "Oracle8 8.0.6 Character set scanner"

All Oracle documentation says that the first 0.0 version of Character set scanner was supplied with 8.1.7.0 s/w of the database (also see Note:179843.1 - Versioning of the Character Set Scanner).
The OTN download site provides a link (broken link) to csscan of version 1.0 for "Oracle8 8.0.6 Character set scanner for Solaris" at
http://otn.oracle.com/software/tech/globalization/htdocs/utilsoft.html#10
that confuses customers.
As the download link is broken, it is impossible to check what executables this link really leads to.
Please either document this exception somewhere that csscan is in fact available for 8.0.6 database, and why this is true ONLY on Solaris,
or
simply remove the link if created by mistake.
Thank you,
Svetlana Grove
Technical Specialist

The first version of CSSCAN was shipped with 8.1.7 of the database on all Oracle RDBMS platforms. Due to customer demands, backports were made available for 8.1.6 (NT and Solaris) and 8.0.6 (Solaris) also.
We decided to make these pre-8.1.7 CSSCAN available for download on OTN as well.
The download links are not broken. There is a policy in place for Oracle employees, they are restricted from downloading between 6am and 6pm US-PST on business days.

  • Could someone please write a download manager program that allows me to set what time of day downloads can be scheduled.?

    I have a iMac, iPhone & iPad. I am using "Hughes Satilite Internet". We have a very limited download of 425MB. But between 1:am till 5:am I can download freely any amount. Some updates have been well over 1 gig & combination of different updates have been more. Also iCloud syncs with all devises. I would like a program on Apple products that allow me to specify a time to download updates & iCloud syncing, to allow me to schedule updates & music downloads at specific times. This is a needed program for all Apple products. It needs to be built in to the iOS.
    Thank you,

  • Changing DB character set for only one schema

    We are interested in changing the characterset of only one user from Western European to AL32UTF8.
    Could you please verify if the following steps will be correct to do the same.
    1. Run CSScan on the one user
    2. Fix any issues
    3. Export that one user (with NLS_LANG set to <your old database character set>)
    4. Create a new database in the AL32UTF8 character set
    5. Import that one user into the new database (with NLS_LANG set to <your old database character set>)

    Actually your title is a little incorrect. You are not changing CS for only one schema in existing DB which is not possible. You are trying to migrate a schema to new CS DB. Which is totally doable and your approach is mostly correct.
    Database Character Set Scanner provide user scan mode
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14225/ch12scanner.htm#i1006013
    Mostly the issue could be data truncation, especially if you have column defined using char or varchar2 vs nchar and nvarchar2
    because char/varchar is defined in bytes, AL32UTF8 is multi-bytes char set, some character of your old data could saved more than 1 bytes in new DB and can't fit into the column size.

  • Character Set issues.  Please advise

    I have a client who use a version 10gR2 DB that stores both English and French data. There are several times where they will send up .dmp file where we load it into ours.
    2 questions.
    What would be the best charater sets to use here in this setup?
    I am assuming we would use
    NLS_CHARACTERSET = WE8ISO9959P1
    NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET = AL16UTF16
    Also if someone can confirm for me.
    NLS_CHARACTERSET = database character set ???
    NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET = national character set???

    So is it better to say that I should use the AL32UTF8
    instead of AL16UTF16 ?It's not an instead of situation. AL32UTF8 is a valid setting for the database character set, which controls CHAR and VARCHAR2 columns. AL16UTF16 is a valid setting for the national character set which controls NCHAR and NVARCHAR2 columns.
    Could you tell me the difference?The difference between the two encodings comes down to how many bytes are required to store a particular code point (character). AL32UTF8 is a variable-length character set, so 1 character will require between 1 and 3 bytes of storage (4 for the supplemental characters but those are rather rare). AL16UTF16 is a fixed-width character set, so 1 character will require 2 bytes of storage (4 for the rare supplemental characters again).
    Also could you tell me the difference between
    WE8ISO8859P15 and WE8ISO8859P1 ? There's a Wikipedia article that discusses the differences and has links to the two different code tables.
    Werner's point is an excellent one as well. I was assuming that we were talking about how to set up both sides of this proposed system. If the source system already exists, there are additional considerations like ensuring that your target system supports a superset of the characters supported by the source system. Regardless, when doing imports & exports, as Werner points out, you need to ensure that NLS_LANG is set appropriately.

  • UTF8 character set conversion for chinese Language

    Hi friends,
    Would like to some basic explanation on UTF8 feature,what does it help while converting the data from chinese language.
    Would like to know what all characters this UTF8 will not support while converting from chinese language.
    Thanks & Regards
    Ramya Nomula

    Not exactly sure what you are looking for, but on MetaLink, there are numerous detailed papers on NLS character sets, conversions, etc.
    Bottom line is that for traditional Chinese characters (since they are more complicated), they require 4 bytes to store the characters (such as UTF-8, and AL32UTF8). Some mid-eastern characters sets also fall in this category.
    Do a google search on "utf8 al32utf8 difference", and you will get some good explanations.
    e.g., http://decipherinfosys.wordpress.com/2007/01/28/difference-between-utf8-and-al32utf8-character-sets-in-oracle/
    Recently, one of our clients had a question on the differences between these two character sets since they were in the process of making their application global. In an upcoming whitepaper, we will discuss in detail what it takes (from a RDBMS perspective) to address localization and globalization issues. As far as these two character sets go in Oracle, the only difference between AL32UTF8 and UTF8 character sets is that AL32UTF8 stores characters beyond U+FFFF as four bytes (exactly as Unicode defines UTF-8). Oracle’s “UTF8” stores these characters as a sequence of two UTF-16 surrogate characters encoded using UTF-8 (or six bytes per character). Besides this storage difference, another difference is better support for supplementary characters in AL32UTF8 character set.

    Hi RadarCat16,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I know it can be frustrating when you are waiting for content to download to your iPhone from the iTunes Store. There are a few steps I would recommend in this situation. Please read over and follow the steps in the attached article.
    iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1725
    If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
    For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
    Enter your account name and password if prompted.
    Tap the blue download arrow to resume.
    If you can't complete the download on your iOS device, you can download it in iTunes on your Mac or PC and then sync it to your iOS device. You can also transfer purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer.
    Have a great day,
    Joe

  • I'm new to Mac and I have a Mac Mini. Could you please tell me how I could paste an URL to a video downloader like "Coolmuster Video Downloader for Mac"? I can copy the url but I could not paste it on the downloader. I appreciate your help to my problem.

    I'm new to Mac and I have a Mac Mini. Could you please tell me how I could paste an URL to a video downloader like "Coolmuster Video Downloader for Mac"? I can copy the url but I could not paste it on the downloader. I appreciate your help to my problem.

    Is this happing because the external is formatted to PC and not mac?
    Yes that is correct.
    Will I need to get a mac external hard drive if I wish to continue to save my documents like this?
    If you no longer use a PC you could format this drive for the Mac. However be aware that formatting a drive will erase all the data on it. So you would need someplace to copy the data off this drive to while you did the re-format and then you could copy the data back.
    You could get another drive, format it for the Mac and copy the data to it. Then re-format the original drive and use it as a backup drive. Always good to have backups.
    Post back with the drive type and size of the current drive, if you are doing backups now and how and if you still need to access this drive from a PC.
    regards

    Hi Charlotte,
    You don't say what your version of Windows you have. Assuming XP, go to Start | Run, type DXDIAG and click OK. Click the Sound tab and run the tests to eliminate a hardware problem first of all. If you don't hear anything, check your cables first of all. Also make sure "Mute" isn't checkmarked in your sound setup. You'll find that in Windows Control Panel.
    Which browser do you use? If you have Firefox 4, sign up to the HTML5 trial @ http://www.youtube.com/html5
    HTML5 is the latest video standard and doesn't require Flash player. Google is in the process of converting all its files to work with the new format. It may solve you problem. If you don't have Firefox 4, you can get it from here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/
    IE8 doesn't support HTML5.
    To clean out your temp files, go to Start | Run, type: CLEANMGR and click OK. Click OK again to start the utility. Tick all the boxes except "Compress old files" because the latter takes too long, and then click OK. You can run this utility any time you wish by the way.
    The above steps will hopefully fix your problem. If not, post here again please.
