Special characters and JDBC problem

I am trying to retrieve special characters, e.g. c from the
database. The problem is that the characters always show
up as ?. I use getString to get the data from the database.
The character set that my database uses is US7ASCII and the
sqlplus program displays the correct dataset. It's only
in the Java program where the display gets all screwed up.
Help or direction of any kind would be greatly appreciated.

This is because you are using the wrong database character set
for storing your data . In the 7-bit ASCII encoding scheme, c or
other non 7-bit data do not exist.
Java can not handle the conversion of invalid characters inside
your database , because it does not know what they are. What you
need to do is to change your database character set to match the
encoding of the data inside your database.

Globalization Support Home page.

Special Characters and spaces in Tablenames and Column Names are allowed ?

Hi
I have created two tables in Oracle10g
as follows
SQL> create table test(columna number,columnb varchar2(20),primary key(columna));
Table created.
SQL> insert into test values(1,'test');
1 row created.
SQL> commit;
COMMIT är utfört.
SQL> create table "test quote"("#" number,abc number,primary key("#"));
Table created.
SQL> insert into "test quote" values(1,2);
1 row created.
SQL> commit;
COMMIT är utfört.
SQL> select * from "test quote";
# ABC
1 2
SQL> select * from test;
COLUMNA COLUMNB
1 test
Now I want to cache the tables and their data into TimesTen
The cache group for table test which is not having any spaces and special characters in table name and column names is created perfectly.
But when I create the cache group for table "test quote" which is having special characters and spaces it gives error :
Command>create readonly cache group w2 from testuser.test(columna number,columnb varchar2(20),primary key(columna));
Command>select * from test;
<1,test>
1 row found.
Command>create readonly cache group w3 from testuser."test quote"("#" number,abc number,primary key("#"));
5140: Could not find TESTUSER.TEST QUOTE in Oracle. May not have privileges.
Command Failed.
Now there is contradiction that why cache group for table test is created successfully and why it is not being created for table "test quote".
What I think is if special characters and spaces in column names and table names are possible in Oracle then it sould be possible in TimesTen.
Any possible solution.
Looking forward for your reply.
Please help I am stuck badly.

Hi
Problem Solved ....... Remeber only Capital letters work with special characters ......

Special Characters and Structures

For MathScript Nodes, I am trying to locate some Help for special characters and structures such as the proper ways of defining arrays, structures etc. and how and when to use ( ), { }, [ ], colons, commas, semicolons, etc. Can someone point me to this information? Thanks Jeff

Hi Jeff,
Yes, 2D array is acceptable in MathScript.
I will try to give detail about your question. If I miss anything, please let me know.
Define array - You should use [ ] to define and initialize an array. For example, A = [1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 9] defines A to be a 3-by-3 matrix. Comma or space character separates element by element in one row. And, semicolon character separates row by row.
[ ] - Another situation to use [ ] is to define a function. You should use [ ] to specify output, such as function [a, b] = foo(g, h).
( ) - Parenthesis is widely used in MathScript. 1) In a formula, parenthesis gives high priority to calculations within it, such as a*(b+c); 2) It is used in function call, such as sin(a); 3) It is used to specify input when you define a function.
{ } - MathScript can not accept cell array by now. Therefore, { } is not used.
' ' - Single quotation is used to define a string variable, such as b = 'MathScript'.
; - Semicolon is used to separates row in matrix or end a command, such as c = sin(1);. If you end a command with semicolon, it suppress the display out in MathScript Window. This does not work in MathScript Node.
... - It is used to separate a long formula into two lines, such as
d = 1*...

Problem with special characters and search

In our SP environment (Build Version 15.0.4420.1017) we have the following problem:
We upload a Word document containing the name Müller in its Authors field.
After upload the author name gets displayed normally in the library. We can check that by adding a new column "_Author" in the library.
When searching for the document, the search results display the author Müller as M�ller. This issue is probably due to the Search Indexer.
Has this been fixed in any of the SharePoint Updates, or is a fix planned in the near future?
I just noticed the following post, but the answer is not really convincing. This is clearly a bug.
Search and special
characters
Thanks a lot in advance.
Best regards
John

Hi John,
According to your description, my understanding is that the Author showed incorrect character in SharePoint 2013 search result page.
I tested the same scenario per your post in my environment, and the Müller showed correctly in SharePoint search result page.
I recommend to reset the index in Search Service Application and run a full crawl to see if the issue still occurs.
Best regards.
Thanks

Waveburner special characters in CDText Problem

Hi all,
first post
Been trying to burn a CD (internal drive) with Spanish titles in CDText and the special characters get corrupted (ñ ó í ).
This doesn't happen in Toast8 and seems specific to Waveburner (using 1.2)
I normally use the English keyboard layout and tried using the Spanish and Spanish ISO layouts to see if there was a difference, but no.
I would upload a picture to show but I don't know how.
so I'll describe:
Song title burned with Toast8: 1. Muñeca
Song title burned with WBP: 1. Mu∆eca
This was checked re-inserting the burned disc and command+I on toast
Also checked on a PC using "Audio Label" program which reads CDText.
This might not seem like a big problem but I simply cannot send a Master disc with Spanish titles to a CD plant which is a bummer.
I'm updating Logic Pro 7.2 to 8 soon which has Waveburner 1.5
I wonder if this is fixed?
Cheers

CD Text is apparently supposed to be in the ISO 8859 character set. Consequently european characters are supposed to be allowed in CD-Text. Every single title on my two last projects contained åäö and the meaning of a word will become drastically different - "låt" and "lat" are completely unrelated words ("song" and "lazy"). So you can't just drop them. If you just "drop" dots and rings that would be like dropping the dot over the "i". Does that make the "i" an "l" (L)?
Barring a CD-player that shows CD-text, what program can inspect an audio CD and tell what's on it?
L

Special Characters and the Character Palate

I am trying to type a composition for my Italian class. I need to insert a few accent marks. Common sense tells me that I should use the "special characters" option on the edit menu, and a little research explains that a character palate should pop up. However, when I click special characters, nothing happens! What do I do?
Thank you for your help!

Jennifer,
Do I understand correctly that you are calling up the Character Palette (using, e.g. Edit/Special Characters...) and nothing happens, i.e. no Palette pops up?
If yes, then Tom Genecke provided this link:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307354
which solved the problem for me right away.
As for international characters, I warmly recommend including the US-Extended Keyboard in your layout (System Preferences/International/Input Menu). This allows you to use shortcuts for characters such as à or ì (Alt-`/~ (top left hand corner of your US keyboard) followed by the letter a or i, respectively), or é, á, or í (Alt-e followed by e,a, or i). And a host of others.
Good luck on your composition!

Special characters and syncronization on multiple ...

Hi people.
I am syncronizing my 6280 with 2 PCs. Unfortunately there is a problem when syncronizing entries with special characters, like accents, and letters not in the english alphabet. PC Suite seems to add spaces to such entries. Thus when I syncronize again, the entry is recognized as a different entry than the original and is added again. Then I have two almost identical entries, one with strange spaces, and one with the correct accents/letters. Has anybody encoutered this problem and found a good solution?
Kind regards.
Thomas

Yes, that is the solution I came to as well. But when PC Suite is available in languages where these characters are normal, I find it a little strange that they don't sync right.
No, I haven't contacted Nokia. With these kinds of issues I always search forums first. They seem a much more valuable source of information.

Special characters and RichTextEditor

Using my RichTextEditor to upload text via PHP into MySql.
Works fine at home on my test server, but on the remote server
special characters (copied and pasted via windows special
characters panel) like a ū will only show as a question mark.
I tried php functions like htmlspecialchars etc, but to no avail.
the database is coded in utf-8, just as my html and actionscript.
how can I solve this problem?

Special characters and TextInput

Hei,
I have a small application in Flex 2 with several TextInput
controls. When I want to enter any special characters, like
umlaute, accented vowels, etc. they are not entered. (Using
Seamonkey or Firefox under Ubuntu Linux, either KDE or xfce). But
they are properly entered in Camino under Mac OSX.
Any ideas how can I solve this ? (Seamonkey and FF are set to
use utf-8 encoding, and special chars entered in the url field are
utf-8).
Thanks, Ale

ale500
Did you find some workaround ? I'm using flex 3, and got the
same problem. The application works fine under windows+ff or
windows+IE but in ubuntu+ff 3.x 2.x not.
Thanks for your attention!

Error while handling special characters ( and &) in Sender File adapter

Dear All,
Scenario: Third Party System --> (File adapter) SAP PI 7.1 (SP05) --> (Proxy) ECC
We are receiving CSV file and no mapping is required in PI as all the processing is being done by third party tool. But we are receiving special characters like ',",>,< and & in the csv file.
When we are using File Type as TEXT and File Encoding as ISO-8859-1 than we are getting error. We changed File Type to BINARY and than we are able to handle ',",> but having issue in handling < and &.
Any idea how we can handle it.
Please note trhere is no Mapping in SAP PI so cannot uise Java mapping.
Thanks a lot
Chanakya

Hey,
You can add ABAP Script in Receiver Proxy for eliminating or replacing with NULL or empty. Since you dont have mapping for formatting these kind of junks you can follow the above approach.
Else, you can remove the junks at OS level while running a small script and make it available to PI.
Or else, you need to create mapping for sender and recevier structure though it is same, then you add a very simple UDF for fine tune.
Use this UDF
Here a is the input value.
String b = "";
b = a.replaceAll(",", "0");
b = a.replaceAll("@", "0");
Like all the special characters you can take and replace with zero.
return b;
Thanx

Special characters and text positioning

Hello Experts,
In Dreamweaver, in inline text, I need to change a TM mark
for a registered trademark symbol (a capital R inside a circle),
and it must be raised above the text baseline -- superscript, I
believe they call it.
I found the Registered symbol in Insert > HTML >
Special Characters. but I can't find a way to raise it above the
baseline.
Can anyone help?
Many thanks for tips.

Special Characters and Importing .TXT files

I am trying to import a .txt file that has special Characters. The ñ works correct, but the ® does not import correctly. Any Ideas?

What is strange is that if I open the .txt file up on a windows machine the ® is there.
When placing your text file, check the "Import Options" box. You can choose platform, encoding, and, um, um, something else. But you need to specify Windows platform, I think. You might need to specify your encoding as well. You can use an app like TextWrangler or Ultraedit or something else to figure out your text encoding. Or you can use the Drunkard's Walk algorithm: just keep trying encodings randomly until you find the one that works.
