Select Query to fetch rows that contain non alphabetic characters

how to select rows from a table (tab1) where a specific column (tab1.col1) has non alphabetic characters

hi,
you didnt specify which version you are using.
if you are working on oracle 10g you can use regular expressions like this:
select * from tab1 where regexp_like(col1,'[^[[:alpha:]]]');

Regex with strings that contain non-latin chars

I am having difficulty with a regex when testing for words that contain non-latin characters (specifcally Japanese, I haven't tested other scripts).
My code:
keyword = StringUtil.trim(keyword);
//if(keywords.indexOf(keyword) == -1)
regex = new RegExp("\\b"+keyword+"\\s*;","i");
if(!regex.test(keywords))
{Alert.show('"'+keywords+'" does not contain "'+keyword+'"'); keywords += keyword + "; ";}
Where keyword is
日本国
and keywords is
Chion-in; 知恩院; Lily Pond; Bridge; 納骨堂; Nōkotsu-dō; Asia; Japan; 日本国; Nihon-koku; Kansai region; 関西地方; Kansai-chihō; Kyoto Prefecture; 京都府; Kyōto-fu; Kyoto; Higashiyama-ku; 東山区; Places;
When the function is run, it will alert that keywords does not contain keyword, even though it does:
"Chion-in; 知恩院; Lily Pond; Bridge; 納骨堂; Nōkotsu-dō; Asia; Japan; 日本国; Nihon-koku; Kansai region; 関西地方; Kansai-chihō; Kyoto Prefecture; 京都府; Kyōto-fu; Kyoto; Higashiyama-ku; 東山区; Places; " does not contain "日本国"
Previously I was using indexOf, which doesn't have this problem, but I can't use that since it doesn't match the whole word.
Is this a problem with my regex, is there a modifier I need to add to enable unicode support or something?
Thanks
Dave

works fine for me using unicode data:
<cfprocessingdirective pageencoding="utf-8">
<cfscript>
t="TÃ¡ mÃ© in ann gloine a ithe;
NÃ chuireann sÃ© isteach nÃ³ amach
orm";
s="Ã¡";
writeoutput("search:=#t#<br>for:=#s#<br>found

</cfscript>
what's the encoding for your data?

Can Java be started in a directory that contains non ascii char

I installed a product developed using Java in a folder whose name contains non-ascii chars, such as Japanese chars or german chars.
This will cause error said: unable initialise java virtual machine, error code -1
Some one said Java doesn't like being started in a directory that contains non ascii characters. There appears to be no way of passing it unicode parameters.
Is there anyone once hit the similiar issue or know the root cause of such problem?
Thanks

Yes you can use your web start application console. To enter data which is required for your application it is better idea to use java application which runs in console mode althou you may try to run console of windows and then read data from its input stream.

Prepare statement to insert a row that contains Blob column. Which way is correct?

When we make prepare statement to insert a row that contains Blob column. Which way is correct? And what is the difference? Does anyone know?
     1. Preparestatement.setBlob(parameter number, blob type object)
     2. Preparestatement.setBlob(parameter number, inputstream type object)
This link show the test I made.

     2. Preparestatement.setBlob(parameter number, inputstream type object)
I answered that in your other thread and provided a link to the JDBC Dev Guide section that discusses how to work with LOBs and BFILEs.
Did you read that doc section?
Did you read my reply in your other thread?
In java a BLOB is just the locator that gives you access to the actual content. In your case you got access by selecting an existing BLOB locator and getting its inputstream. That inputstream is what gives you access to the actual blob content.
The locator is just that; it specifies the LOCATION of the blob content but it is NOT the content.

Supress Missing Blocks : Suppressing rows that contains data

Hi,
In Hyperion Planning 11.1.2.2, on a webform if I do supress missing blocks, it suppresses rows that contains data also (for 3 particular members of the dimension selected in the row).
This webform is otherwise a huge report & if I do not check on supress missing blocks, the application hangs on trying to open this report (webform).
Summarizing, on selecting supress missing blocks, it should bring me data for 90 members but it is currently displaying results for 87 members.
Thanks in Advance.
Pawan.

Are you definitely sure there are no blocks for those members, maybe there is data but it is just set as #missing and the blocks have not been removed.

Select query for fetching from 3 tables.

Can we have a single Select query for fetching same fields (kappl,kschl,vkorg,vtweg,spart,kunwe,datbi,knuma,datab,knumh)
from 3 tables >> KOTE707,KOTE708 and KOTE709 into an internal table for a particular KUNNR?
Regards,
Shashank.

Hi,
If you have kunnr field in all the 3 tables then it is possible. use inner join as below
PARAMETERS: p_cityfr TYPE spfli-cityfrom,
            p_cityto TYPE spfli-cityto.
DATA: BEGIN OF wa,
         fldate TYPE sflight-fldate,
         carrname TYPE scarr-carrname,
         connid   TYPE spfli-connid,
       END OF wa.
DATA itab LIKE SORTED TABLE OF wa
               WITH UNIQUE KEY fldate carrname connid.
SELECT c~carrname p~connid f~fldate
       INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE itab
       FROM ( ( scarr AS c
         INNER JOIN spfli AS p ON p~carrid   = c~carrid
                              AND p~cityfrom = p_cityfr
                              AND p~cityto   = p_cityto )
         INNER JOIN sflight AS f ON f~carrid = p~carrid
                                AND f~connid = p~connid ).
LOOP AT itab INTO wa.
WRITE: / wa-fldate, wa-carrname, wa-connid.
ENDLOOP.

Group messaging not working with groups that contain non iphone users

I have an Iphone 5 and for some reason I can't send/receive group messages with groups that contain non Iphone users. Basically I recieve single text messages/imessage from each person who responds to the group message. This is incredibly annoying.

Hello, megbu36.

Does Oracle User Password can contain non-ASCII characters?

Hi Experts,
Can we create a user with password containing non-ASCII characters like "Ro'çá".
I was able to create a database instance by providing the password for sys as "Ro'çá". But now i am not able to login from command prompt using sqlplus or SQLPLUS Application. I am getting below error:

Also using create user i am not able to create user with password in non-ASCII characters but alter user works and changes the password to non-ASCII characters when enclosed in quotes.
I wanted to know whether the password can contain non-ASCII characters or not?
Thanks in advance for your help.

I don't think that the characters used are allowed. See this doc which only mentions three characters to be used .

Cannot login with password containing non-ascii characters

Hello,
I have web application, form based login. UTF-8 is specified "everywhere".
And it works, except for passwords.
If user register itself with password containing non-ascii characters, it is correctly written in database, but when doing either programmatic login or normal form based login, if fails.
If the password is only ascii, it works.
Username of login could be ascii or non-ascii, it doesn't matter, both works.
I'm using sun java application server 9.1.
jdbc realm.
I'm not using hashing passwords, just clean (now)
I tried configure realm Charset: UTF8 as last chance, but it doesn't work either.
The problem is only with non-ascii characters in password.
Any help very appreciated
Thanks a lot

hi,
I know all that, but that's not the case. My app uses preparedStatements, everything is properly configured, in all pages, utf-8 is going from user to db and back without any problems.
The only problem is with password field. As I am using form based login, with jdbc realm configured (again, nicely working when only ascii characters), I have very little chance to do something bad through the login phase.
I'm not talking about special characters, I'm talking about non-ascii characters, let's say - Chinese, arabish, Russian alphabet etc.
When user registers (my code), the fields are properly written to db. I have checked that, trust me.
But the Sun app server realm seems to have some problems with the password field.
(realm uses jdbc connection to mysql, the url contains all extra parameters to be sure about utf8. there is nothing more what can be configured...)
If I try other alphabet codes in login and ascii in password, it works. But soon, as I use other alphabet code also in password, it doesn't work anymore.
My only idea is, that I could try MD5 to create ascii only characters (I hope it works that way) on the client with javascript and then set Digest to MD5 in realm configuration. But still, it seems very strange. The clear way storage should also function? (now set Digest to 'none')
Is it a bug of Sun App Server?
thanks

Playlists containing songs with titles starting with non-alphabetical characters do not get transferred at all

I was really happy about how the desktop manager lets me choose the songs from my itunes library by playlists! this is smart! I'm also happy to see the playbook render asian characters properly (unlike my experience on the bold!)
However, I have a lot of songs which have titles that begin with non-alphabetical characters, ie asian characters. For all playlists which contains such songs, those songs do not get transferred onto the playbook AT ALL. For example, I have one playlist which contains only songs with titles beginning with asian characters - this playlist was transferred but it is shown as containing zero songs! When I browse my song library by artist/album, I can find all those songs that should be in that/those playlists.
Can this be fixed?
thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

as it turns out, it kind of got fixed by itself. what i did (i think, since i have not definitively verified) was i went to browse "all songs" wherein i noticed all thoses songs starting with asian characters seemed to show correctly. then i went back to the playlists in question, and viola!
clearly there is a bug or two in the music player somewhere regarding these title characters. but rim has more urgent things to resolve i guess - like my auto screen lock is still not working!

TextNode containing non-printable characters

Hi,
I have problem with TextNodes that contains non-printable charaters.
i.e: CR and LF
The problem occoures when i'm going to serialize my DOM object to an
XMLString for
storing into our database.
The result of the serialization process is that CR and LF are replaced with
whitespaces.
Does anyone have an 100% safe code example .... ?
TIA.
Borre Nordbakken

Take a look at the constants in cl_abap_char_utilities. A simpler solution would be to ask for a file without such characters...

The installation input you entered contains Non-ASCILL Characters

What does this error means?
It occur when i am trying to install Actuate Reporting Server.
I try to look through the forum and some people mention setting the LANG environment variable
I added these under .profile in my user directory

But still getting the same error message

Hi ...anyone can give some input on this issue?
I suspect it is the keyboard mode problem.
Because when i try to print out the mode of keyboard it is u for unencoded events
but when i change the keyboard mode to ASCII by press kbd_mode -a
i cant seen to be able to input anything into the terminal
so i really don't know what to do

A JTextField that only accepts alphabet characters?

Hi there,
I'm new to java and I'm looking for a way to create a JTextField that only accepts characters. If anyone can maybe show me some code to do this? I've googled and searched these forums for related posts and I found this post:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=57&threadID=762721
however I haven't the first idea of documents or maskformatters, and my program is meant to be pretty simple. Is there any short way to do this? Or a way of accepting anything, then filtering it and replacing the inputted text with the new text, non-alphabet characters taken out?
Thanks
-Stern

lots of help if you google; for instance adapting some of these ideas may help:

Stopping select query to fetch entries containing special characters

Hi Friends,
I want a way by which my select query does not bring those entries which contains any special characters present in those records.
Eg:
MATNR
PC1----
ALLOWED
PC2----
ALLOWED
PC3-1-2----
NOT ALLOWED
PC4_5_3-------NOT ALLOWED
I wrote
where matnr not like '%-%'
and it works but for underscore it doesnt..also if u can tell me to obstruct those records which contains any special characters from DB.
Thanks and Regards,
Gaurav

Hi,
First fetch it from the database..
Then check if it contains any '_' By using 'CA"...
delete those records ...
Loop at itab into wa.
if wa-matnr CA '_'. <------ You can also use 'CS'
wa_itab-matnr = wa-matnr.
append wa_itab to itab2.
endloop.
delete itab where matnr in itab2.

Need help for SQL SELECT query to fetch XML records from Oracle tables having CLOB field

Hello,
I have a scenario wherein i need to fetch records from several oracle tables having CLOB fields(which is holding XML) and then merge them logically to form a hierarchy XML. All these tables are related with PK-FK relationship. This XML hierarchy is having 'OP' as top-most root node and ‘DE’ as it’s bottom-most node with One-To-Many relationship. Hence, Each OP can have multiple GM, Each GM can have multiple DM and so on.
Table structures are mentioned below:
OP:
Name                             Null                    Type
OP_NBR                    NOT NULL      NUMBER(4)    (Primary Key)
OP_DESC                                        VARCHAR2(50)
OP_PAYLOD_XML                           CLOB

Appreciate your help in this regard!

Hi,
A few questions :
How's your first query supposed to give you an XML output like you show ?
Is there something you're not telling us?
What's the content of, for example, <OP_PAYLOD_XML1> ?
I don't think it's a good idea to embed the node level in the tag name, it would make much sense to expose that as an attribute.
What's the db version BTW?
