Trouble with national character set - HELP!

I've got a problem with croatian characters like :h, f, , , p. They can not be displayed in Portal.
There is no matter if it is display name or label...

I think you've got me closer to the problem, whatever it is:
[lars@laptop ~]$ xterm
Warning: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C
[lars@laptop ~]$ xterm -u8
Warning: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C
[lars@laptop ~]$ uxterm
Warning: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C
At least it seems to indicate a problem with the locale, which might be causing my problem - I don't know...
[lars@laptop ~]$ locale
LANG=en_DK.utf8
LC_CTYPE="en_DK.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_DK.utf8"
LC_TIME="en_DK.utf8"
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_MONETARY="en_DK.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_DK.utf8"
LC_PAPER="en_DK.utf8"

LC_ADDRESS="en_DK.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_DK.utf8"

Query distributed database with different character sets.

Hello experts, this is my situation:
I have two databases A and B, the same version 11.1.0.7, the same OS Suse Linux Enterprise 10 but with different character sets, A has WE8MSWIN1252 while B has AL32UTF8. The database B is my XML DB repository so there I have some XML type tables. I need to query this tables from the database A using a dblink and in fact I have done that but the XML content is trasformed due to the different character sets between the databases. Some time there are data loss and some time there are data missmatch.
Is there any way to query the tables stored in the database B without problems? I do not know if the following is correct: Maybe I can set the character set for the session in the database A during the time it query the database B. That is, change the character set in fly at session level.
Do you have any special suggestion?
I hope you can help me, thank you in advance.

The Globalization Support Guide for 11.1.0.7 has a chapter on character set migration that should be helpful. AL32UTF8 is a superset of WE8MSWIN1252 but it is not a strict superset. That is, it doesn't meet the second prong of the test in the documentation
The new character set is a strict superset of the current character set if:
Each and every character in the current character set is available in the new character set.
Each and every character in the current character set has the same code point value in the new character set. For example, many character sets are strict supersets of US7ASCII.Exporting the data from the A, changing the character set (or creating a new database with the AL32UTF8 character set), and then importing the data may be the easiest approach in your case.

Searching with different character sets

Hello,
we have a problem with Intermedia 8.1.6. running on Solaris.
The table contains the text with different character sets and that's the problem. User submits the query in his char.set and the IM sometimes doesn't find the data.
Idea is to create the index using the flat ascii chars and to search in ascii ... but how?
Can anybody help me?
Thanks.

Can't Create Database with SJISYEN character set

I am trying to create a new database in Oracle 10g using the SJISYEN character set. The summary page display in the Database Configuration wizard shows the following
Character Sets
Database Character Set JA16SJISYEN
National Character Set AL16UTF16
The database gets created successfully with no errors, but when I query the V$NLS_PARAMETERS view, the NLS_CHARACTERSET is reported as US7ASCII
Should I be able to create a database with the SJISYEN character set with Oracle 10g?

Can you please run the following SQL statement and see what you get:
SQL>
1 select * from nls_database_parameters
2* where parameter like '%CHARACTERSET'

Hi James,
IMP-69 can occur if you try to use an EARLIER version of IMPORT against an export (.dmp) file produced by a LATER version of EXPORT.
How about trying this:
Use the 8.1.5 EXPORT utility from Win2K to connect to your Solaris 8.1.7 database; then use the 8.1.5 IMPORT utility to import the file into the 8.1.5 W2K database.

National Character setting

DB version
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bit
using Sql/Developer version 1.5 to test
My DB has National character set set to unicode (NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET     AL16UTF16) and character set to US7ASCII (NLS_CHARACTERSET     US7ASCII).
When i create a table with nvarchar2 column and insert in a my language word (month name) then upon fetching rows it shows some different results... why such behavior?
select sysdate from dual;
04-जुलै      -12
create table test_nj (a nvarchar2(50));
insert into test_nj values('जुलै');

Fixed & variable width national character set

In its discussion of NCHAR and NVARHCAR2 datatypes, Oracle talks about fixed width and variable width database character sets. What are they?
I think the concept of fixed length (i.e. NCHAR) and variable length(i.e. NVARCHAR2) types is a different thing. That I understand.
From Oracle doc:
'If the national character set of the database is fixed width, such as JA16EUCFIXED, then you declare the NCHAR column size as the number of characters desired for the string length. If the national character set is variable width, such as JA16SJIS, you declare the column size in bytes.'
null

Fixed width charactersets are those in which each character is defined by a fixed number of bits, say 7 or 8 or 16
Variable width charactersets are those for which either 7 or 8 or 16 bits are used to save space. Let us say a character needs only 7 bits, then only 7 bits will be used in this case, and if another character needs 16 bits, they will be used.
In fixed width all characters have same number of bits, so it has higher space requirement.
These have nothing to do with char and varchar2 data types.....

How to handle national character set datatypes in oracle?

Hi
Can anyone tell me how to handle national character set datatypes in oracle?
Thanks in advance

And for data manipulation, append "N" the literal values being used in the command.
The "N" indicates that the string is to be treated as Unicode Text.
For Example: insert into TableName (ColumnName) values (N'ValueToBeInserted');

NATIONAL CHARACTER SET UTF8

Hi,
on 10g, on Win 2003, how to verify if database is NATIONAL CHARACTER SET UTF8 ?
Thank you.

SELECT *
FROM v$nls_parameterswill show you all the NLS parameters. You're presumably looking for the row where parameter = 'NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET' though there may be a few more parameters that you're interested in.

National character set in JSP report

Hi. National character set is not seen in JSP reports, while in paper reports all is OK. What's the problem?

Hi Volodia,
You can set the character set inside the JSP as:
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1" %>
Change the character set to "utf-8" or an appropriate value.
Alternatively, in the web browser also, you can change the encoding (View > Encoding > ...)

[urgent] oracle character set and national character set !!(dictionary)

Hi. everyone.
What is the oracle dictionary that contains information of
oracle character set and national character set?
I checked v$database, but there was not the information.
It seems that there are some differences between "nls_* " init parameters
and the database character set.
"Alter database backup controlfile to trace" gave me the character set of db,
but I would like to know whether there are oracle dictionary regarding them.
Thanks in advance. Have a nice day.
Best Regards.

I found the dictionary which contains the information of character set and
natiional character set of database.
select * from nls_database_parameters
where parameter like '%CHARACTERSET';
Thanks for reading.
Have a good day.
Best Regards.
