Have you tried with SQL*Plus (GUI: sqlplusw.exe) from the same environment ?
What is the value of NLS_LANG on the front-end ?
Did you check the OTN NLS_LANG FAQ ?

Cannot Store Greek Characters in NVARCHAR2 columns

Can someone please help.
I have a table TEST with one column A of type NVARCHAR2(20) and when I try to insert the greek character Ω(Omega) - it gets stored as O instead.
I am inserting using SQL Developer using the 'N' prefix and my environment is as follows:
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
NLS_CHARACTERSET = WE8MSWIN1252
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET = AL16UTF16
NLS_LANG setting on client side is ENGLISH_UNITED KINGDOM.WE8MSWIN1252.
Why can I not insert greek characters with the above setup and what do I need to do/change in order to be able to insert greek characters in a database using the national characterset for storing unicode data ?

Result of running SELECT a, dump(a) FROM TEST after insert an 'O' and an 'Ω' is as follows:
A DUMP(A)
O     Typ=1 Len=2: 0,79
O     Typ=1 Len=2: 0,79
I added a VARCHAR column, column B, there is no difference in what is getting stored in the NVARCHAR column when inserting 'Ω', result is below:
INSERT INTO TEST (A, B)
VALUES(N'Ω', 'Ω');
SELECT a, dump(a, 1016), b, dump(b, 1016) FROM TEST;
A DUMP(A, 1016) B DUMP(B, 1016)
O     Typ=1 Len=2 CharacterSet=AL16UTF16: 0,4f     O     Typ=1 Len=1 CharacterSet=WE8MSWIN1252: 4f
I'm I missing something here, since my understanding is that NVARCHAR2 columns should be able to store Unicode data ?

Hi Gaurav,
Ya thats what the probelm is that nothing is fixed.... There are six headers and there column number is fixed.
It should take 1st header search in column A if the word "Name"Comes twice it should read twice just below the header Name all the exciting values, then it should go for other Header "Gruop" in Column B and do the same. And this should be done for all six headers.
Eg:
A B C D E F G ------ Column number from excel
Group Number Name Rate IR FR Freq ----- these are headers
1 3 fgh 23 45 56 78
2 5 ty 56 67 67 67
Group Number Name Rate IR FR Freq ---- 2nd set of headers
4 3 ty 33 56 88 100
Hope that now i am bit clear
thanks a lot...

I have a column in a Numbers document that currently only contains a number--the numbers are different in different columns. Before each number I want to add the words "Pack Qty." How would I do this?

I have a column in a Numbers document that currently contains a number and that number is different in different columns. I want to add the words "Pack Qty" before each number in the column. How do I do that? I'm using Numbers '09 on a brand new Macbook Pro. Thanks!

In an adjacent column add the formula:

Like:
E2="Pack Qty: "&D2
select, and hold, the little circle at the bottom right corner of the selction, then drag down

Store the result of the column in variable in answer

Hi All,
Is there a way to store the value of the result of the column of the report and use that value in calculation in another report. I need to get the grandtotal value which changed according to the prompt and want to use that grand total value to calculate new column in another report. Can we use presentation variable? I want to store the total value 30 and then calculate the region percentage. I am not able to store the total value and create the new column calculation using the total value.
Region 1 10 *0.33*
Region 2 20 *0.67*
Total 30
Thanks,
Virat

You can use this Report as a Subreport in the Final Report,and apply a filter the column=subreport.columnvalue.

Store MS word document in oracle9i as XML

hi,
I need to store Microsoft Word Documents in oracle 9i and I am thinking to store it as XML file. I am new to XML, can anybody give me some idea how to achieve this? More specificlly, how do I convert a word document to XML before I save it to the database and later how do I retrieve it and convert it back to word document or other format(such as .pdf document etc)?
Besides storing the word document as XML file, are there any other ways to store it in the oracle 9i database? Is oracle 9i internet file system or interMedia a good solution too? Anybody had experience with this?

Thanks, steven.
My application requires "storing lots of documents, each associated with a standard record in an application". Is
this the senario you have?
What is SCM/Designer? Could you point me to some reference on how to use them? You mentioned "synchronized with the File System and are held as BLOBS", does that mean the word document will be stored in both places, database as BLOB and file system as file? In my case, I only want to store in database.
I agree with you that "converting XML only adds another step in the process", but I am not sure about "probably vastly increasing the data to store!", my original thought is storing as XML instead of Word Document will save me a lot of storage space because XML is just text file, also the database retrieval will be faster. As I said I am totally new to XML, so I may be wrong.

Insert into NVARCHAR2 columns(ORA_01461, ORA-01026)

Hi,
Oracle8i Client 8.1.5 (OCI8)
Oracle9i Client 9.0.1 (OCI9)
Oracle8i/9i DB
I want to insert strings into a table with two NVARCHAR2 columns with OCI.
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET is UTF8 (DB). The provided String is encoded in Windows-1252.
The supplied buffers in the OCIBindByPos have a size of 200bytes each.
->With OCI8 I'm getting the message:
"ORA-01026 multiple buffers of size > 4000 in the bind list"
If only one NVARCHAR2 column is involved (or if I use normal
VARCHAR2 instead) it works fine.
->With OCI9 I get the message:
"ORA-01461 can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column"
But only, if I set the OCI_ATTR_MAXDATA_SIZE attribute.
If I do not set the OCI_ATTR_MAXDATA_SIZE attribute, it works, but if
I supply a buffer bigger than 1333 bytes in the OCIBindByPos for the second
NVARCHAR2 column, then ORA_01461 happens. The buffer for the first NVARCHAR2
column can be set to a higher values
->The same behaviour occurs with NCHAR, NCLOB (->national character types)
These are the main steps:
OCIBindByPos((OCIStmt *) pStmtInsert, (OCIBind **) &pBind,
(OCIError *) pError, (ub4) i, (dvoid *)pData,
(sb4) bufferSize, //200bytes
(ub2) dataTypeSQLT, //SQLT_STR
(dvoid *) pIndicator, (ub2 *) 0, (ub2 *) 0, (ub4) 0,
          (ub4 *) 0, (ub4) OCI_DEFAULT);
OCIAttrSet((dvoid *) pBind, OCI_HTYPE_BIND,
&Frm, //SQLCS_NCHAR
     0, OCI_ATTR_CHARSET_FORM, (OCIError *) pError);
OCIAttrSet((dvoid *) pBind, OCI_HTYPE_BIND,
(dvoid *) &charSet, //WE8MSWIN1252
     0, OCI_ATTR_CHARSET_ID, (OCIError *) pError);
OCIAttrSet((dvoid *) pBind, OCI_HTYPE_BIND,
(dvoid *) &maxDataSize, //->size of the column in bytes
0, OCI_ATTR_MAXDATA_SIZE, (OCIError *) pError);
OCIStmtExecute((OCISvcCtx *) pServiceContext, (OCIStmt *) pStmtInsert,(OCIError *) pError,
(ub4) 1, (ub4) 0, (OCISnapshot *) 0, (OCISnapshot *) 0,
OCI_COMMIT_ON_SUCCESS);
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Axel

I found this link referring to a similar problem that was apparently fixed in version 10.2.0.4 of the server: ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column Should I try to upgrade the server and see if that fixes things?

How can I store a word file in database and other one download this file

My dears:
I want to upload a word file at my form then store in database
and other one user want to download this file
I Use developer 10g R2
Database 1og
thanks more

If you take a look at the WebUtil page, there is a demo which can be downloaded. Look carefully at the option to upload to DB. If you want to manipulate the doc you can use OLE. This is also offered as part of the example.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/webutil-090641.html
Be sure to carefully review the included ReadMe file as it includes some minor configuration required to use file upload/download functionality.
