US7ASCII character set for 10G?

we are planing to migrate the 8i data to 10G. whether 10G will support the US7ASCII character set ? if i convert character us7ascii to al32utf8 is there any issue? doubt abt extra spaces,due to al32utf8 is multi byte character set.

If there is a ever a chance in the future to have multi-byte data in your DB, now is your chance to do it easily.

    Which will be the new character set ?
    If the new character set is a binary superset of the old character set, you can use the following procedure:

    Following table lists all US7ASCII supersets:

  • Flat File Load Issue - Cannot convert character sets for one or more charac

    We have recently upgraded our production BW system to SPS 17 (BW SP19)
    and we have issues loading flat files (contain Chinese, Japanese and
    Korean characters) which worked fine before the upgrade. The Asian
    languages appear as invalid characters (garbled) as we can see in PSA. The Character Set
    Settings was previously set as Default Setting and it worked fine until
    the upgrade abd we referred to note 1130965 and with the code page 1100
    the load went through (without the Cannot convert character sets for one or more characters error) however the Asian language characters will appear
    as invalid characters. We tried all the code pages suggested in the note e.g.
    4102, 4103 etc on the info packages but it did not work. Note that the
    flat files are encoded in UTF-8.

    I checked lower case option for all IO
    When i checked the PSA failed log no of records processed is "0 of 0" my question is with out processing single record system is througing this error message.
    When i use same file loading from local workstation no error message
    I am thinking when  I FTP the file from AS/400 to BI Application Server(Linex) some invalid characters are adding but how can we track that invalid char?
    Gurus please share your thoughts on this I will assign full points.
    Thanks,

  • Lanovo ix4 300d and european character set for samba shares

    Hi,
    I am installing a couple of IX4-300d at a client site, struggling to set and fix the samba character set for the Windows shares. Here in Italy everyone is used to put western european characters into filenames (for example è ò ° €) but the NAS acts wierdly when it finds such caracters in folder names and file names.
    As you know samba gives the possibility to declare dos charset= ISO8859-1 and unix charset= ISO8859-1 in the smb.conf file but the option is not present in the IX4 setup pages.
    Is there an easy way to circumvent the problem and fix this option? As it is now the machine is fearly useless, at least if you need to migrate files and folder from a server or storage with ISO8859 charset already applied.
    thanks a lot

  • Multiple Character set for NLS

    Hi,
    I'm using Oracle 8i database. Is it possible to set the different character set for the database? The requirement is to support the two different character set data, one (main) Japanese character set and other Simplified Japanese. Or is there any other way in which i can store these data (Japanese & Chinese)?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Jayesh

    Please don't get me wrong. Currently it is set in the windows database. I did not set nls_lang at the command prompt before import into windows. However nls_lang is already set and it is character set WE8ISO8859P1 the same as the value I specified in creation script, besides the other two values AMERICAN, AMERICA. They are now same in both solaris and windows. Only the character sets are different because I specified a different one. So, is it ok or do I now need another fresh import this time with nls_lang set to AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8 ?

  • Expdp with network_link and different character sets for source and target?

    DB versions 10.2 and 10.1
    Is there any limitation for implementing expdp with network_link but target and source have different character sets?
    I tried with many combinations, but only had success when target and source have the same character sets. In other combinations there was invalid character set conversion (loose of some characters in VARCHAR2 and CLOB fields).
    I didn't find anything on the internet, forums or Oracle documentation. There was only limitation for transportable tablespace mode export (Database Utilities).
    Thanks

    Hi DBA-One
    This link
    http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/dp_overview.htm#CEGFCFFI
    is from Database Utilities 10g Release 2 (10.2) (I read it many times)
    There is only one thing about different character sets.
    I quote:
    Data Pump supports character set conversion for both direct path and external tables. Most of the restrictions that exist for character set conversions in the original Import utility do not apply to Data Pump. The one case in which character set conversions are not supported under the Data Pump is when using transportable tablespaces.
    Parameter VERSION also doesn't play role here, because the behaviour (character set) is the same if I use for target and source only 10.2 or (10.2 and 10.1) respectivly.

  • Oracle 8i us7ascii character set problem - help required urgent.

    Hi frnds,
    I have a oracle 8i database server installed on sun solaris os. The database character set is us7ascii. In one of the tables TIFF images are stored in a long column. I m trying to fetch these images using oracle 9i client and visual basic(oracle ODBC drivers). But i m unable to do so. I can not fetch special characters.
    Is it because of the character set problem? but when i run my code on the server itself, i m able to fetch the images. I tried to fetch the images using oracle 8 i client on windows XP machine but could not do so. Are there any special settings that i have to do on the client side?

    Indeed, it's an ODBC issue. Read this statement from Oracle:
    From ODBC 8.1.7.2.0 drivers onwards it's NOT possible any more to
    "disable" Characterset conversion by specifying for the NLS_LANG
    the same characterset as the database characterset. There is now
    ALWAYS a check to see if a codepoint is valid for that characterset.
    Typically you will encounter problems if you upgrade an environment
    that has NO NLS_LANG set on the client (or US7ASCII) and the database
    was also US7ASCII. This incorrect setup allowed you to store characters
    like èçàé in an US7ASCII database, with the new 8i drivers this is not possible
    any more.
    Basic problem is the 'wrong' characterset US7ASCII in the database. As long as no characterset conversion happens (that's the case on the unix server), special characters are no problem.

  • Changing DB character set for only one schema

    We are interested in changing the characterset of only one user from Western European to AL32UTF8.
    Could you please verify if the following steps will be correct to do the same.
    1. Run CSScan on the one user
    2. Fix any issues
    3. Export that one user (with NLS_LANG set to <your old database character set>)
    4. Create a new database in the AL32UTF8 character set
    5. Import that one user into the new database (with NLS_LANG set to <your old database character set>)

    Actually your title is a little incorrect. You are not changing CS for only one schema in existing DB which is not possible. You are trying to migrate a schema to new CS DB. Which is totally doable and your approach is mostly correct.

    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14225/ch12scanner.htm#i1006013
    Mostly the issue could be data truncation, especially if you have column defined using char or varchar2 vs nchar and nvarchar2
    because char/varchar is defined in bytes, AL32UTF8 is multi-bytes char set, some character of your old data could saved more than 1 bytes in new DB and can't fit into the column size.

  • Installing Character Sets for different languages

    We have a need to have the character sets installed for 14 different languages. Our BW system will receive data from other systems with different languages installed. We don't necessarily need to login with these languages but just need the character sets in order to properly read the data. Do we need to go thru the entire language installation process for each language in order to get the character sets installed? That seems like a rather lengthy process and I'm looking for other options. Also, once  I get all of these character sets into my development system is it possible to transport these characters sets into my QA and Production
    systems?

    1. Start the FM 7.0 installation from the CD.
    2. Work your way to the Setup screen and select "Custom" installation.
    3. Select only the "Dictionaries" components (i.e. uncheck the other
    components) and click on the "Change" button.
    4. This will pop-up the available "sub-components", i.e. the
    dictionaries.
    5. Select the ones you want and click on the "Continue" button and
    then the "Next" button to install only the new dictionaries.

  • Oracle character sets for China

    Which characte sets used to store data in Chinese language?

    yes, if you have a database with a UTF8 characterset you can store chinese characters. If you have a database with a single-byte characters set and you prefer not to change the characterset of the database (because it means recreating the database) you can also store the chinese characters in NCHAR columns and use the National Characterset for the chinese characters.
    This way you can keep your standard single-byte characterset and only use the national characterset for specific columns.
    For this, set NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET to a multibyte characterset and use NCHAR as columntype
