Wide Character Strings support in WLE CORBA Servers IDL

From the WLE documentation i see that the IDL does not support wstring or wchar.
I have a requirement to pass back a multi-byte character to the clients. How can i achieve the same?
Also can i use wstrings within the code? Is the restriction only for the IDL?

Subha
If you are use Java Use char (see WLE documentations for detail mapping explainations.) If you are using C++ only work around I see is using IDL type long (CORBA::Long).
WChar are always reprsented as 16-bit Unicode character. That means Unicode can represent 65,536 (2^16) characters.
Convert values from long to wchar on client end.

Hi!,
I have a server which needs to return multi-byte character info to the client applications? But i find that
wchar and wstring are not supported types in the IDL. So how can i achieve my requirements using
WLE?
Thanks!

You can search the forums for that error message and find previous discussions - they all boil down to the same problem. Somewhere in your query that calls this function, the code invoked implicitly converts from string to date/datetime. In general,
this works in any version of sql server if the runtime settings are correct for the format of the string data. The fact that it works in one server and not in another server suggests that the query executes with different settings - and I'll assume for
the moment that the format of the data involved in this conversion is consistent within the database/resultset and consistent between the 2 servers.
I suggest you read Tibor's guide to the datetime datatype (via the link to his site below) first - then go find the actual code that performs this conversion. It may not be in the function you posted, since that function also executes other functions.
You also did not post the query that calls this function, so this function may not, in fact, be the source of the problem at all.

What confused me is that it works fine with my previous laptop. I wonder if there is any patch in Crystal Report or SQL server that used to support certain functions but not support them anymore....

ORA-0605: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small

I get this error on two function activities in a workflow of mine. I don't even get into the pl/sql procedure call.
The exact error is:
Error Name -6502
Error Message: ORA-0605: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
Error Stack: @#@Wf_Engine_Util.Function_Call(MY_PACKAGE.MY_PROC, ITEM_TYPE, ITEM_KEY, 6519, RUN)
If I retry the step (expedite -> retry) it runs until it hits the second function which does the same thing (there is a function in between the two functions that do not have any issues). I then have to retry that step as well. Any ideas?
This seems similar to the following issue that does not have a resolution posted:
ORA-06502 PL/SQL numeric or value error in wf process
I've tried commenting out the bodies of the procedures called but that does not help (again -- im not getting into the bodies but im not sure what else it could be).
Any ideas or suggestions?

Hi,
Does this happen on every instance of the process, or just a few?
Are these activities in the middle, or right at the start of the flow?
Are any other activities being performed correctly first? If so, are these standard or bespoke?
My inclination would be that there is some kind of variable that is being populated (or concatenated onto), which is growing too big. When the process errors, it gets cleared, which is why an expedite would move the activity on.

ASCII character/string processing and performance - char[] versus String?

Hello everyone
I am relative novice to Java, I have procedural C programming background.
I am reading many very large (many GB) comma/double-quote separated ASCII CSV text files and performing various kinds of pre-processing on them, prior to loading into the database.
I am using Java7 (the latest) and using NIO.2.
The IO performance is fine.
My question is regarding performance of using char[i] arrays versus Strings and StringBuilder classes using charAt() methods.
I read a file, one line/record at a time and then I process it. The regex is not an option (too slow and can not handle all cases I need to cover).
I noticed that accessing a single character of a given String (or StringBuilder too) class using String.charAt(i) methods is several times (5 times+?) slower than referring to a char of an array with index.
My question: is this correct observation re charAt() versus char[i] performance difference or am I doing something wrong in case of a String class?
What is the best way (performance) to process character strings inside Java if I need to process them one character at a time ?
Is there another approach that I should consider?
Many thanks in advance

>
Once I took that String.length() method out of the 'for loop' and used integer length local variable, as you have in your code, the performance is very close between array of char and String charAt() approaches.
>
You are still worrying about something that is irrevelant in the greater scheme of things.
It doesn't matter how fast the CPU processing of the data is if it is faster than you can write the data to the sink. The process is:
1. read data into memory
2. manipulate that data
3. write data to a sink (database, file, network)
The reading and writing of the data are going to be tens of thousands of times slower than any CPU you will be using. That read/write part of the process is the limiting factor of your throughput; not the CPU manipulation of step #2.
Step #2 can only go as fast as steps #1 and #3 permit.
Like I said above:
>
The best 'file to database' performance you could hope to achieve would be loading simple, 'known to be clean', record of a file into ONE table column defined, perhaps, as VARCHAR2(1000); that is, with NO processing of the record at all to determine column boundaries.
That performance would be the standard you would measure all others against and would typically be in the hundreds of thousands or millions of records per minute.
What you would find is that you can perform one heck of a lot of processing on each record without slowing that 'read and load' process down at all.
>
Regardless of the sink (DB, file, network) when you are designing data transport services you need to identify the 'slowest' parts. Those are the 'weak links' in the data chain. Once you have identified and tuned those parts the performance of any other step merely needs to be 'slightly' better to avoid becoming a bottleneck.
That CPU part for step #2 is only rarely, if every the problem. Don't even consider it for specialized tuning until you demonstrate that it is needed.
Besides, if your code is properly designed and modularized you should be able to 'plug n play' different parse and transform components after the framework is complete and in the performance test stage.
>
The only thing that is fixed is that all input files are ASCII (not Unicode) characters in range of 'space' to '~' (decimal 32-126) or common control characters like CR,LF,etc.
>
Then you could use byte arrays and byte processing to determine the record boundaries even if you then use String processing for the rest of the manipulation.
That is what my framework does. You define the character set of the file and a 'set' of allowable record delimiters as Strings in that character set. There can be multiple possible record delimiters and each one can be multi-character (e.g. you can use 'XyZ' if you want.
The delimiter set is converted to byte arrays and the file is read using RandomAccessFile and double-buffering and a multiple mark/reset functionality. The buffers are then searched for one of the delimiter byte arrays and the location of the delimiter is saved. The resulting byte array is then saved as a 'physical record'.
Those 'physical records' are then processed to create 'logical records'. The distinction is due to possible embedded record delimiters as you mentioned. One logical record might appear as two physical records if a field has an embedded record delimiter. That is resolved easily since each logical record in the file MUST have the same number of fields.
So a record with an embedded delimiter will have few fields than required meaning it needs to be combined with one, or more of the following records.
>
My files have no metadata, some are comma delimited and some comma and double quote delimited together, to protect the embedded commas inside columns.
>
I didn't mean the files themselves needed to contain metadata. I just meant that YOU need to know what metadata to use. For example you need to know that there should ultimately be 10 fields for each record. The file itself may have fewer physical fields due to TRAILING NULLCOS whereby all consecutive NULL fields at the of a record do not need to be present.
>
The number of columns in a file is variable and each line in any one file can have a different number of columns. Ragged columns.
There may be repeated null columns in any like ,,, or "","","" or any combination of the above.
There may also be spaces between delimiters.
The files may be UNIX/Linux terminated or Windows Server terminated (CR/LF or CR or LF).
>
All of those are basic requirements and none of them present any real issue or problem.
>
To make it even harder, there may be embedded LF characters inside the double quoted columns too, which need to be caught and weeded out.
>
That only makes it 'harder' in the sense that virtually NONE of the standard software available for processing delimited files take that into account. There have been some attempts (you can find them on the net) for using various 'escaping' techniques to escape those characters where they occur but none of them ever caught on and I have never found any in widespread use.
The main reason for that is that the software used to create the files to begin with isn't written to ADD the escape characters but is written on the assumption that they won't be needed.
That read/write for 'escaped' files has to be done in pairs. You need a writer that can write escapes and a matching reader to read them.
Even the latest version of Informatica and DataStage cannot export a simple one column table that contains an embedded record delimiter and read it back properly. Those tools simply have NO functionality to let you even TRY to detect that embedded delimiters exist let alone do any about it by escaping those characters. I gave up back in the '90s trying to convince the Informatica folk to add that functionality to their tool. It would be simple to do.
>
Some numeric columns will also need processing to handle currency signs and numeric formats that are not valid for the database inpu.
It does not feel like a job for RegEx (I want to be able to maintain the code and complex Regex is often 'write-only' code that a 9200bpm modem would be proud of!) and I don't think PL/SQL will be any faster or easier than Java for this sort of character based work.
>
Actually for 'validating' that a string of characters conforms (or not) to a particular format is an excellent application of regular expressions. Though, as you suggest, the actual parsing of a valid string to extract the data is not well-suited for RegEx. That is more appropriate for a custom format class that implements the proper business rules.
You are correct that PL/SQL is NOT the language to use for such string parsing. However, Oracle does support Java stored procedures so that could be done in the database. I would only recommend pursuing that approach if you were already needing to perform some substantial data validation or processing the DB to begin with.
>
I have no control over format of the incoming files, they are coming from all sorts of legacy systems, many from IBM mainframes or AS/400 series, for example. Others from Solaris and Windows.
>
Not a problem. You just need to know what the format is so you can parse it properly.
>
Some files will be small, some many GB in size.
>
Not really relevant except as it relates to the need to SINK the data at some point. The larger the amount of SOURCE data the sooner you need to SINK it to make room for the rest.
Unfortunately, the very nature of delimited data with varying record lengths and possible embedded delimiters means that you can't really chunk the file to support parallel read operations effectively.
You need to focus on designing the proper architecture to create a modular framework of readers, writers, parsers, formatters, etc. Your concern with details about String versus Array are way premature at best.
My framework has been doing what you are proposing and has been in use for over 20 years by three different major nternational clients. I have never had any issues with the level of detail you have asked about in this thread.
Throughout is limited by the performance of the SOURCE and the SINK. The processing in-between has NEVER been an issu.
A modular framework allows you to fine-tune or even replace a component at any time with just 'plug n play'. That is what Interfaces are all about. Any code you write for a parser should be based on an interface contract. That allows you to write the initial code using the simplest possible method and then later if, and ONLY if, that particular module becomes a bottlenect, replace that module with one that is more performant.
Your intital code should ONLY use standard well-established constructs until there is a demonstrated need for something else. For your use case that means String processing, not byte arrays (except for detecting record boundaries).

9iLite and multibyte character set support

Does 9iLite support a character set that will allow for accented characters?
for example: i

"NLS Character Integrity Issues for Consolidator
When Mobile Sync synchronizes with an Oracle database which has a
multibyte character set other than UTF8, the character integrity issue
occurs. Mobile Sync retrieves data from the server database through Oracle
8.1.7 OCI JDBC Driver for Oracle9iAS version 1.0.2.2, and 9i for Oracle9iAS
version 2.0. Character sets are converted from database character sets to
UTF8 by Oracle Servers NLS functions. In the code conversion, some
multibyte characters are garbled because of the difference of the character
mapping. This is not a bug of Mobile Sync.
For more Information, see "Character Integrity Issues in NLS Environment"

Removing Null values from character string

Hi All,
Can i remove NULL values (hexadecimal - 0000) from character string. I am uploading a file from presentation layer (shared server) and getting NULL values in many fields which i want to remove.
please assist.
Thanks for you help..
Regards,
Mohaiyuddin

Hi,
Most likely, nobody needed it, but if anybody in future will need the solution for related problem - here's solution:
data: lv_nullchar type xstring value '0'.
shift lv_xstring right deleting trailing lv_nullchar in byte mode.
shift lv_xstring left deleting leading lv_nullchar in byte mode.
This hack deleting null chars in lv_xstring at end file and at begining of file. Works perfect for me, where i also worked with files.

There is not a chance in the world, especially not knowing column definitions that I, and I suspect most anyone else, is going to wade through this much unformated code looking for an error you couldn't bother to copy in full.
Either tell us, specifically, the line on which the error is occurring or, better yet, start whacking stuff out of your code until you find the offending definition. That is certainly what I would do. Commenting out sections is a marvelous way to quickly find an issue.
Before you post again please read the FAQ. It will explain to you how to properly post and use the tags.

Report error: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string b

I have a form which uses a customer form/report, drop downs etc..
the debug shows it running this statement
...Execute Statement: begin begin SELECT distinct initcap(RTRIM (LTRIM (e.surname, ' *0123456789-/:.?,'), ' *0123456789-/:.?,') || ', ' || RTRIM (LTRIM (e.first_name, ' *0123456789-/:.?,'), ' *0123456789-/:.?,' )) empname, e.ID bulk collect into wwv_flow_utilities.g_display,wwv_flow_utilities.g_value FROM dms.dms_employees@dmsprd e, dms.dms_employee_contracts@dmsprd ec WHERE e.ID = ec.emp_id and e.surname like '%%' AND :p75_date BETWEEN ec.start_date AND NVL (ec.end_date, :p75_date) AND e.brh_id = 3654 ORDER BY 1; end; end;
Then says
"report error: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small"
Any Ideas?
Thanks

A select list is limited in size. I am not sure what the limit is but that is definitelly the case.The maximum size for the HTML generated for a select list is 32K.
86 options sounds on the low side to be hitting that limit, but there are other concerns to this as well. Scrolling through hundreds/thousands of options in a select list is a pain for users, and huge select lists produce bloated pages that impact load times and network bandwidth. That list of around 200 countries you find on many sites is about the sensible maximum length for a select list.
You should use popups.Indeed.

Report error:ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string bu

We face the above error in HTMLDB (APEX) application Ver 3.1.0. This occurs when we try to display more number of rows/records in drop-down list (LOV in tabular forms). We are able to display 200 records in LOV. When the list of records exceeds 230, we face the below error
report error:ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
the values listed in LOV are from tables (one of the columns in table)
Could anyone give us a solution?

Hi
As you are using a tabular form, you could actually do the following:
1 - In the tabular form column's attributes, set the following:
Display as: Select List (query based on LOV)
Display extra values: Yes
List of values definition: SELECT null d, null r FROM DUAL
2 - Add a new page item and set it to generate your select list
3 - Create an HTML region with no template and use the following for its source:
<script type="text/javascript">
function loadList(c, l)
var s = document.getElementsByName(c);
var lItem = document.getElementById(l);
var lLength = lItem.options.length;
var k;
var j;
var x = lItem.innerHTML;
var v;
var o;
var z;
for (k = 0; k < s.length; k++)
z = s[k];
v = z.value;
z.options.length = 0;
for (j = 0; j < lLength; j++)
o = new Option()
o.value = lItem[j].value;
o.text = lItem[j].text;
z.options[j] = o;
z.value = v;
if (z.selectedIndex == -1)
z.selectedIndex = 0;
loadList("f05", "P1_MGR");
</script>
(Change "f05" and "P1_MGR" as appropriate to your column and your new page item respectively)
Now, when you load the page, the select list contains a null entry plus the entry already on the database. The javascript kicks in automatically, loops through every entry in the "f05" column, copies the existing value, replaces the select list with the new page item version and sets its value to the copied value.
Your new page item could be in a DIV tag that has a style of "display:none" to hide it from view.

Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string

Hi experts,
I'm trying running a query in Microsoft Query but it gives the following error message:
"conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string"
when asks me the data I'm inserting 31-01-2014
i've copy the query form the forum:

Hi,
The above error appears due to date format is differnt from SAP query generator and SQL server.
So you need convert all date in above query to SQL server required format.
Try to convert..let me know if not possible.
