Problem Oracle9i DB UTF8 with delphi

dear friend
I have a problem with delphi and UTF8.
My database is Oracle9i Release 2 and set with American_america.utf8 and I create database with UTF8 character set.(WIN2K).
I Have delphi 7, when I create a form on it and do a query I can see data without any problem but when I insert or update data with Delphi form my program crash,
when I want to see data from DBA studio I take message "Oracle can not convert character....."
and my BD crash.
how can I solve this problem.
thanks

Please, read the topics

and

I think these are the data which you have inserted earlier.
If you insert new text and then select it from database, then all should be correct.

Using stored procedures with a timestamp parameter with Delphi and ADO

Dear Oracle experts,
I have a problem concerning using a stored procedure with Delphi.
I try to use a stored procedure which hast two input parameters ( a integer and a timestamp).
The timestamp parameter is my problem since I would like to use the "to_timestamp"
Oracle-function to create the timestamp parameter to be inserted into my procedure.
If I insert the to_timestamp statement as a adodatetime I have to perform the conversion to the oracle timestamp in my application.
If I want to use the to_timestamp statement I have to use the ftstring datatype but in that case I get an error because I use a string as input for my procedure were it awaits a timestamp.
So the problem seems to be that the function call "to_timestamp" is not interpreted if it is transferred through my ADO component.
Do you know how to use a procedure with Delphi (ADO) with a function as input parameter ?
Best regards,
Daniel Wetzler
P.S. :
This is the Delphi code to use my Procedure.
FactsTempDS:=TADODataset.Create(nil);
Sproc1 := TAdoStoredProc.Create(nil);
Sproc1.Connection := TDBConnection(strlistConnectionstrings.objects[iConnectionIndex]).Connection;
Sproc1.ProcedureName := 'ECSPACKAGE.PROCFINDINITIALSWITCHSTATE';
Sproc1.Parameters.CreateParameter ('SwitchID',ftInteger,pdinput,0,0);
//Sproc1.Parameters.CreateParameter ('StartTime',ftdatetime,pdinput,50,0);
Sproc1.Parameters.CreateParameter ('StartTime',ftString,pdinput,50,0);
Sproc1.Parameters.Findparam('SwitchID').value:=SwitchID;
Sproc1.Parameters.FindParam('StartTime').Value:= 'to_timestamp(''2005/12/30 19:36:21'', ''YYYY/MM/DD HH:MI:SS'')';
Sproc1.CursorType := ctKeyset;
Sproc1.ExecuteOptions:=[];
Sproc1.Open;
Sproc1.Connection := nil;
FactsTempDS.Recordset:= sproc1.Recordset;
if FactsTempDS.RecordCount=0
then raise Exception.Create('No line switch variable found for switch '+IntToStr(SwitchID)+' before starttime. Check BDE dump filter.')

I have my entity manager setup in a singleton.
I'm finding it's costly to generate the emf, but if I don't close the em (enitity manager) and emf (entity manager factory) my open cursor count climbs until I exceed the max number of open cursors on the database (11g RAC)
I'm committing the connection, and uow, and closing the em at the end of each call.
But until I close the emf, the open cursors aren't released.
TransactionhistoryPkg tranPkg = new TransactionhistoryPkg(conn); //Class created over database package via JPublisher
tranPkg.transactionhistoryInsSp(insertTrans.getCardId()); // executes db package
tranPkg.closeConnection();
conn.commit();
uow.commit();
uow.getAccessor().decrementCallCount();
em.close();
Am I missing something really obvious here??
btw - I found this link helpful in troubleshooting the max cursors issue: https://support.bea.com/application_content/product_portlets/support_patterns/wls/InvestigatingORA-1000MaximumOpenCursorsExceededPattern.html

Hi Nicloei,
Thanks for the reply. Actually i don't want any work around (Creating MVLOG on table rather than synonym is fine with me) . I just wanted to know it is actually an oracle bug or something else.

Itunes SDK with Delphi

I am using the Windows iTunes SDK with Delphi. I have iTunes 9.1.0.79 installed. When my application starts iTunes is not running. When I execute 'iTunesApp := COitunesapp.Create;' the following exception is raised: exception class EOleSysError with message 'Server execution failed, ClassID: {DC0C2640-1415-875C-6F4D769839BA}'.
iTunes eventually starts and displays its browser window.
This error seems to be a timeout error because it does not occur when iTunes is running when my application starts.
How can I determine when iTunes is ready to accept the 'COitunesapp.create' without producing the error?
Thanks,
Graham Lawrence

Hi Graham
Finally someone using Delphi and iTunes SDK.
Maybe we could have some exchange of thoughts etc.
I haven't seen this problem yet, but I have just recently upgraded to 9.1.
I can't really see how you could check if itunes are "ready" if it's not running.
Did I get it right?
1) itunes not running.
2) Your program connects to itunes and get an exception.
3a) You handle the exception and the program keeps running.
4a) itunes starts "later"
3b) You close the program after the exception.
4b) itunes starts "later"

How to configure OCI of Oracle9i to work with PHP or ASP on IIS5

I've been trying to make OCI of Oracle9i to work with PHP for all week. I went thourgh millions of documents and forums. And I still can't make them work. Anyone, please help me.
I used to have Oracle8i on my machine and it worked fine with both PHP and ASP on IIS5. Then I decided to change to Oracle9i. So I install Oracle9i in seperate home. And they worked fine. But one day I couldn't access some of my websites via "localhost/mywebsite". And I thought there is something wrong with IIS coz I ran very huge queries. So I reinstall IIS5. Then everything crash. PHP and ASP can't work with OCI. So I uninstalled every Oracle component (database and services) and PHP out of my machine. Then I installed Oracle9i database, redownload "php-4.3.1-installer.exe" , and install PHP.
Since I can't seem to find "php_oci8.dll" in "c:\php\" after I installed, I assume that oracle9i must provide OCI and I found the file "oci.dll" in "c:\OraHome9\Bin" directory. So I changed the extension directory in php.ini to
extension_dir = "c:\OraHome9\Bin"
And it still doesn't work. I'm kinna new to ASP so I don't know how to fix this problem.
Anyone, would you please give me any suggestion how to solve this problem or where to find the solution for this problem? I'd be very appreciated.

We did that, but it just doesn't seem to be able to connect. So basically we tried to connect to our network and insert the password, but afterwards it does nothing. Weird thing is also that the network symbol (top right of the screen) says that it has been connected, but when I go look at the system preferences --> network, it states that it has not been connected

Can anyone help me with a problem i am having with my music on my iPhone 4S. I have put alot of Compilation CDs in my library on iTunes. I download these tracks onto my phone, everything is ok so far. Now, this is what is niggling me and I don.t know how to resolve it. This is my problem:
Have downloaded for example: Queen – Bohemium Rhapsody from a compilation album as well as a few complete Queen Album CDs into the iTunes library and then put them into playlists,
When I go onto my phone and select Queen on the MUSIC app using Songs tab at the bottom of the screen it will display all Queen songs and their resective Alum pics, that is all those not in a complilation album, .
If I know the song title I can select the songs tab and find the song that way,
I’ve tried fiddling with the settings in the iTunes app by going to ‘get info’ tab and trying to sort the problem out that way but am not having much luck.What I want the phone to do is show, for example all Queens songs including those in compilation albums. Can this be done, would be grateful for any ideas on how it can be done, that is if ic can be done, any ideas
Thanks for your help

Try assigning Queen as the Album Artist on the compilations in iTunes on your computer.

Since upgrading to Firefox 8.0.1, it is hanging when I try to open it. Deleting profiles etc. doesn't help. I suspect the problem has to do with caching or history, since when I first quit after upgrading I had to force-quit as it was hanging.

'''bold text'''MacOS 10.5.8 is my operating system.
There is no actual crash, thus no crash ID--it just hangs forever and eventually I force-quit.
Restarting the computer hasn't helped
Downgrading to previous versions didn't help.
Deleting profiles and preferences doesn't seem to make any difference.
Apparently clean re-installs hasn't helped.
If option-opening is really safe mode on a Mac, then that isn't helping, either. It's the same hanging.
No problems are being noted with any other software.
I'm totally stumped--what else can I take off for a cleaner re-install?

Firefox hangs the same way in safe mode.
There is no such thing as a Firefox program folder on a Mac, nor is there an "uninstall" to do, so these directions are not relevant to a Mac user.
The problem remains.

I have a serious (and bizarre!) issue with my novation impulse (Although i've tried it with two other keyboards and i still have the same problem) and its compatibility with mainstage 3

i have a serious (and bizarre!) issue with my novation impulse (Although i've tried it with two other keyboards and i still have the same problem) and its compatibility with mainstage 3.
the problem is best explained on the following one - page thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3951518?start=0&tstart=0
(Clearly i'm not alone in this problem, although i think i figured out what's going wrong a little more than he did...read on!)
his solution, to put mainstage in jump mode, is very unsatisfactory to me, as it bounces all of a sudden to drastically different settings.
basically, my analysis is that my controller is NOT receiving MIDI date from mainstage. in other words, mainstage knows what my controller is doing, but my controller doens't know what mainstage is doing.
let's say i turn the knob all the way to the right ... 127...and the virtual fader goes to the right like it's supposed to.
now...next...let's say i change to a different patch, where that same VIRTUAL fader is not at the max clockwise position..maybe it's only at 1pm. now when i turn the physical knob to the RIGHT, the midi data is still at 127 on the controller! it didn't "reset" to sync up with the new level (say 80 or so) setting on the new patch. so i can't increase that new setting of 80 by continuing to turn the knob to the right. i have to turn it all the way to zero,...and then continue PAST zero until the controller thinks that IT is at 0...at that point the controller and mainstage are in agreement, and things work fine....so bascially, the keyboard thinks the level is at max...but mainstage thinks the level is at 1pm.
i am using Logic 9, and i have a macbook pro 2.9 Ghz I7 with 8 gigs of memory and OS X 10.8.4

In the environment definition,
-> External Application JDBC
-> Properties
-> Outbound JDBC Connection
You have the database URL in the "DriverProperties" field
Valid URL would be : jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/caps
!! The doc says that this field is optional !! Seems to be an error in the doc:
Hope this helps

Problem using iPad mirroring with an Apple TV and 4:3 Projector

I'm a teacher and I've been using my iPad 2 in the classroom for about a year and a half. I would use Apple's VGA Adapter to connect to my projector, which worked fine. I just didn't like being tied down, and the dock connector would come loose very easily and lose connection to the projector, which interrupted the flow of the lesson.
So this summer, I got an Apple TV and a projector with an HDMI port so I could start using Airplay Mirroring to get the iPad screen onto the projector. But I'm having trouble with the aspect ratio. Forgive my drawing, but the genius at the Apple store had a hard time understanding my explanation, so I'm hoping this will help show what I mean.
My projector (ViewSonic DLP PJD5133) can be set to either a 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio (4:3, 800x600 is the native resolution). My projector screen in the front of the classroom is 4:3, so when the projector is set to 4:3, the image fills up the screen (which is what I want - it needs to be as big as possible so the entire class can see it clearly; plus it means all the output pixels are being used). When the projector is set to 16:9, the image is letterboxed (not ideal unless I'm showing a widescreen video or image).
The Apple TV's native aspect ratio is widescreen, and the iPad's native aspect ratio is 4:3, so if you use Airplay mirroring on a widescreen TV, the Apple TV will pillarbox the image (add horizontal black bars on each side), so that the image will not be stretched/distorted. (I know that it will show widescreen videos and a few widescreen-ready apps without the pillarbox, but the apps I use in class - Keynote, Noteshelf, etc. - don't fall in that category). The effect on my projector screen is a tiny 4:3 image taking up half the area it would have taken if I had used the VGA connection.
So in the Apple TV, I went to Settings>Audio & Video>TV resolution, and chose 800x600 60Hz (the max 4:3 resolution for my projector). Since the Apple TV is natively widescreen, it seems to accomplish this change be stretching the image vertically; but it basically works because the Apple TV home screen fills up the projector screen. However, when I turn on Airplay Mirroring on my iPad, the image does not fill up the screen. The Apple TV still puts a pillarbox on the image, so I end up with a distorted, square image of my iPad screen. It's the right height - the max 600 pixels for my projector - but it's not as wide as it should/could be.
Is there a setting that I'm missing? I understand that the Apple TV has to stretch its home screen image to accommodate the 4:3 resolution, but I think it should be smart enough to realize that if it's receiving a 4:3 image from the iPad and sending it out to a 4:3 TV, it doesn't need to pillarbox the image.
Before you answer - this is not a problem with the projector settings, and my Apple TV is not defective. You could simulate what's happening on your Apple TV, even if it's hooked up to a widescreen TV. In the Apple TV settings, change the TV Resolution to 800x600 as mentioned above (or any other of the 4:3 options). Now go to the Apple TV home screen, and note the amount of space the image is taking up on your screen (on a widescreen TV, it will be pillarboxed, and it will look like it's been squished horizontally). Then turn on Airplay mirroring on the iPad, and you'll see that the iPad image does not have the same width as the Apple TV home screen and it looks square/squished.
Also, while my projector does have a zoom function, it will not magnify the small iPad mirror image correctly (if I were to leave the Apple TV and projector on a 16:9 setting). It cuts off the top and sides. But even if it didn't crop the image, it's a digital zoom, so that option still won't fix the fact that I'm not getting a full 800x600 image on the projector. The same problem would apply if I were to move the projector farther away from the screen (so that the widescreen image takes up the full height of the projector screen, while spilling off the sides). I'll still have a lower resolution image, which isn't ideal since I'm often showing text on the screen through Keynote. Also, widescreen videos wouldn't fit on the screen, and I can't move the projector easily because it's fixed to the ceiling.
Sorry for the long explanation. Any ideas? I'd really appreciate some insight.

We have the same problem, and not only with ipads. Macbook Air is doing something similar. it can only use airplay with 1080 and 720 resolution, so the image is squeezed on a 4:3 projector. We use AppleTV 3 and Mountain Lion OS. We use ATVPRO from Kanex.
Apple must get its act together and fix this, they promise gold and green forests, but nothing works.
DO SOMETHING!
