How to Insert Character using Prepared statement

Hi All,
Can anyone let me know how can I insert character using prepared statement.
Thanks

In the future JDBC related questions should be posted into the JDBC forum.
Can you please provide some more information about what you are trying to do? It isn't clear to me. Are you trying to update a CHAR field?

Insert ' character in a varchar2 column

How can i insert ' character in a column. For example I want to insert
HARINDER ' KANDA
in a name column in one of tables. I get the message "Quoted String not properly terminated"

Hello Dear,
Just use single quotes two times instead of one like:
HARINDER''KANDA
Remember that it's two single quotes one after another not a double quote.

PLSQL Insert and Special Circumstance

I am using APEX 4.0.
This one is strange. I have a system used to renew UCC filings, which must be renewed within six months of their expiration. I have a report (UCC Tracker Report) which lists all records falling within this date range. I click a sequence number (column link) for a record and go to a form detail page (UCC Detail) for the record identified by the sequence number. There are a number of data items on this page which will not change with the filing renewal; so I want to carry these data items into the new record. I do this with a button labeled "Renew UCC." It executes a PLSQL process which does two things: (1) it inserts a new record with the data preserved from the old record, and (2) updates the old record with an "H" in the "histrec" column (which makes this record history).
Now, the second part works; the old record is always updated. The first part (the insert) does not work, except under a special circumstance. Back on the UCC Tracker Report page there is a button labeled "Enter New UCC Record." This button calls the same page (UCC Detail) that is called for the renewal, but, of course, since it is for new record, it will have null items. There is a button on it (Return to UCC Tracker Report) which will simply allow the user to return to the report page. If the user goes to this UCC Detail page, then returns to the UCC Tracker Report page, and then clicks a sequence number (column link) to bring up the record for renewal, clicking the Renew UCC button causes the PLSQL to insert the new record. Otherwise, it will not insert.
Somewhere there must be a setting that needs to be changed for this form to operate as intended. Please help.
**********************************Additional Wrinkle***************************
After posting this question, I tried one more thing. I clicked the "Enter New UCC Record" button to go to the UCC Detail page and then edited the Action on the "Return to UCC Tracker Report" button to clear the cache on this page. After that the PLSQL insert would not work.

Hi,
The Form page where you Create/Edit does not really come into play in the duplication of record process , unless you are trying to insert a row on that page (which would be bad idea) in the Page rendering side. Analyzing the UCC Detail page may offer clues, but it can also confuse.
Chances are you are inserting a new record while navigating out of the UCC Tracker Report page in a OnSubmit process. And that would be the right thing to do.
You also need to make a distinction between "Row not getting inserted in the table" and "Row not showing in the Edit (UCC Detai)". If the parameter passing from UCC Tracker Report to UCC Detail page is not correct you will not see the newly created row even though it is present in the table.
The scenario you are describing is a routine one.
If you put up this scenario on apex.oracle.com it will be possible to help fix it. Otherwise one can only guess !

Insert Character in a String ?

I am trying to insert the following character " / " to my string. It is printing out as 19990923. I want the output to print 1999/09/23
I need some help with this problem. Thanks for any assistance.
String[] s2 = eRecord.split(",");
String stkSymbol1 = s2[0];
String stkDate1 = s2[1];
// int a = stkDate1.length() ;
// buffer.insert(3," / ");
// System.out.printf("\n%s\n\n" buffer.toString());
System.out.println ("The Date for the last record is : "+ stkDate1); //

The error message told you that you have not declare the variable buffer.
If you really think you do, check if the declaration inside a conditional statement which is invalid.
Post the code with code tags.

Strange Problem When Inserting " £ " character in a varchar2 column

Hello
This is a very strange issue i am facing when i use SQL+ on different clients.
Client 1 ( SQL+) 9.2.0.4.0
conn scott@ora9i
SQL> insert into dummy values( '£');
1 row created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> select * from dummy;
A
Â¿
Client 2 ( SQL+) 9.2.0.4.0
conn scott@ora9i
SQL> insert into dummy values( '£');
1 row created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> select * from dummy;
A
£
Has any one faced this issue before , I am sure it is something to do with Client Language / Character .
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Cheers Mate , You are a Star ,
Thanks Once again .

Insert character with umlaut/accent

How do you insert a character with an accent or umlaut into Appleworks 6? This may seem like a basic question, but I can't find it in any of the drop-down menus or the 'help' section. I particularly need German characters, such as 'ö' and 'ß' (both of which I copy/pasted there, but don't want to have to do that every time!). I am used to using OpenOffice or Microsoft Word.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Inserting umlaut/accented characters is fairly straightforward; it requires an [Opt]+[key] (=press [Opt] and hit [key] while holding [Opt]), which then either produces a character of its own or modifies the immediately following key.
Some examples of such non-english characters:
- [Opt]+[s] = ß, [Opt]+[d]=ð, [Shift][Opt][k] = , etc.
Some examples of accenting:
- [Opt]+[`] followed by [key] tries to put a down-stroke accent on [key]
Ex.: [Opt]+[`][a] = à,
- [Opt]+[n] [key] tries to put a tilde on the letter [key]
Ex.: [Opt]-[n][o] = õ,
- [Opt]+[e][key] triesd to put an up-stroke accent on [key]
Ex.: [Opt]+[e][e] = é
But, instead of me trying to give you a complete listing, see if you have a little "Stars-and-stripes" icon in the right portion of your menu bar. (If not, select "System Preferences..." from the "" menu item on the far left; in its window, click on the "International" icon, and then on the "Input Menu" tab; check the "Keyboard Viewer" if it isn't already checked; close the "System Preferences" window.)
Select the "Show Keyboard Viewer" from the "Stars-and-Stripes" menu in the right portion of your menu bar, and you'll get a "live" guide to your keyboard. As you press modifier keys, the keys in the viewer change to their correspondingly modified (extended) function. So, pressing [Opt] highlights a couple of keys: these are extended modifier keys: [Opt] makes [e] into the highlighted [’] key, indicating that it attempts to put the [’]-like accent on the following letter.
Only those combinations work that exist in the font you are using; For example [Opt]+[e][s] produces "´s" since there is no [’]-accented [s] in most fonts.
This system has been with the Macintosh OS's since their inception---certainly as long as I remember it.
If you have checked, "Hungarian" in the "International/Input Menu" system preference, and then selected that in the "Stars-and-Stripes" menu as your mode of entry, the flag changes into the Hungarian flag, and your keys will produce symbols according to the Hungarian layout, regardless of what the imprint on the actual keys says. The Keyboard Viewer, of course, tells you which key does what now. Since you ask about "ß" ([Opt]+[s]) and "ö" ([Opt]+[ u] [o]), which occur in German, you may want to switch to the German keyboard layout. Of course, some keys will no longer do what their imprint says, but the "Keyboard Viewer" can always remind you of their "German" function.
Alas! The more recent, and far more capable method using UNICODE (accessible by checking the "U.S. Extended" = "Stars-and-Stripes" with a little "U" option in the "International/Input Menu" system preferences, and then selecting the "U.S. Extended" mode of input from the "Stars-and-Stripes" menu) is not supported by AppleWorks 6.2.9: it crashes if you type anything into any of the AppleWorks' modules. And, since Apple is now developing "iWork" and "iLife", AppleWorks will probably never accept UNICODE.
Hope this helps, Tristan

Golive CS2 inserting character Â when template changes made

I have a site created in Golive 6. Opened it in CS2. Now when I make changes on my template, the updated pages have the character Â inserted randomly at ends of sentences or before © symbols. Updates I'm making involve changes to menu using Menu Machine 2.
So now I have ot go back and manually remove all the Â from the updated pages. More Â are added every time I make an update. Any idea what's going on and how to avoid this?

What was in your original file where the Â is now showing up. For one of my clients that I have, they use some odd program to change the files on the server occassionaly and I always have to go in an fix the stray code that their app puts in the files. I have to go in and delete it all manually.
You can do a find Â and replace with a space on the page if it is just the Â that is being added. It probably came from the conversion from one doctype or character set to the current one.

RichTextEditor - insert character at current cursor position?

I've been looking everywhere but I can't find a way to insert
a character in a RichTextEditrs current cursor position. I'm trying
to create a soft keyboard for spanish special letters and symbols
for an application.

There is a property
selection of the RichTextEditor control. This is a reference
to a TextRange, which is the current selection or if nothing is
selected, it's a TextRange of 0 length at the current position of
the cursor.
All you need to do to insert a character at the current
position is:
your rich text editor].selection.htmlText = "Insert text";

I know this isnt a great way of using query but its part of the assignment ,so any help will be greatly appreciated.
Here it is again......
function BeforePForm return boolean is
segment2 varchar2(10);
begin
srw.message(001,'I just got executed first');
srw.do_sql('select segment1 into :segment2 from xxmssl_po_headers_all');
srw.do_sql('insert into report_trigger_details values(seq2.nextval,:segment2,''po report'',''before parameter form'',''po number is'')');
srw.do_sql('commit');
return (TRUE);
end;
the that i was getting earlier was resolved by using two single quotes....Now the error is....
Error: error putting value in column....
column 'segment2' may not be referenced by parameter triggers..
The insert ran fine until I changed the above function as follows:
function BeforePForm return boolean is
segment2 varchar2(10);
type_code varchar2(10);
org_no number(4);
begin
srw.message(001,'I just got executed first');
srw.do_sql('select segment1,type_lookup_code,org_id into :segment2,:type_code,:org_no from xxmssl_po_headers_all');
srw.do_sql('insert into report_trigger_details values(seq2.nextval,:segment2,''po report'',''before parameter form'',''po number is'':segment2 '',type_code is'':type_code '',org_no is'':org_no )');
srw.do_sql('commit');
return (TRUE);
end;
When i ran it ,it started giving the above mentioned error.I reverted the changes back and recompiled my report but still getting the same error....
Thanks in advance
