Change the characters of WE8ISO8859P1 to AL32UTF8 database

We want to change our database characterset to AL32UTF8 of WE8ISO859P1.
When executing the csscan of WE8ISO859P1 to WE8ISO859P1 in the same character set, we see data with loss. It appears in the attachment.
When executing csscan to WE8MSWIN1252, we get data with loss.
When running with AL32UTF8 csscan, we get even amount of data with losses.

Now the problem is on with data loss. As we see same amount of loss of WE8ISO859P1 to WE8ISO859P1 and WE8ISO8859P1 to AL32UTF8.

But I think I'm confused everytime I open the scan.err file, I never see any character replacement.

What would be my next step for character set migration. If we need to take care of the data with loss? Go directly to AL32UTF8? If csscan show many with loss of data, but while opening scan.err, we see no character replacement. What should we do now to go to AL32UTF8?

Any suggestion is really welcome.

Thank you.

When you open the scan.err file, you will not see the wildcard, but source codes. You should look for Windows characters since the code 0 x 80-0x9f range. Scan.err also, shows only a prefix of each data, even if a given value does not show any problem codes, codes may be in the end substring of the value.

You should basically do the following: for each column of data with losses reported in the analyse.txt you look at the column and try to identify its content. More likely that you will see is Western European text Windows (WE8MSWIN1252). It comes to WE8ISO8859P1 more Windows specific codes in the range of 0 x 80-0x9f (quotes, the Euro symbol, etc.). According to the database, other possibilities are:

1 binary, for example the results of encrypting procedures DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT, images, etc.
2 Western Europe data page in the code UTF-8 Unicode or MS-DOS 437 or 850 (registered in garbage - in the scenario of garbage-out, when NLS_LANG is incorrectly on the DB character set).
3. data in other languages.

The measures depends on the identified data. If only WE8MSWIN1252 is identified, the solution is to analyze the DB with fromchar and tochar WE8MSWIN1252 value. This should report no loss of data and you can run csalter.plb to migrate the characters of WE8ISO8859P1 in WE8MSWIN1252 database. Then you can proceed to WE8MSWIN1252 migration to Unicode.

IMPORTANT: It is insufficient to simply scan with fromchar and tochar value WE8MSWIN1252. This combination of settings tends to never share data with loss! You need to visually inspect the data to see if it is readable in Western Europe. The scan is just a sine qua non for csalter.plb.

If you identify binary data, you must update your application first to use a type of binary data (RAW, LONG RAW, BLOB). Once the column is binary, you can continue with the migration.

If you identify Western European data in other character sets, you must run the UPDATE with the CONVERT function to convert the data in WE8ISO8859P1 or WE8MSWIN1252 before migration to Unicode.

If you identify data in other languages, you should unload the data in external text files (with NLS_LANG value. WE8ISO8859P1 avoid conversion), divided by language. Then, after the conversion to Unicode format, you should load the data into the database using SQL * Loader, defining the character set appropriate data in control files.

IMPORTANT: With data attachment in the database, you must generally take a look at who put these data in the database or applications that use the data. These applications can have configuration changes to make sure that they do not store incorrect data more and to ensure that they can properly read the now cleaned data.

  • How can I change the characters in Oracle 11 GR 2 Express AL32UTF8 to UTF - 8 (OS: Windows2008R2) is currently the NLS_CHARACTERSET setting = AL32UTF8 and NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET = AL16UTF16?

    I installed Oracle Express 11 GR 2 software that created the database of the parameter "NLS_CHARACTERSET" AL32UTF8 and NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET AL16UTF16 value XE.

    This database must be used with a character encoding application which usues UTF8 and requires database Oracle support UTF8.

    I need to change the setting of NLS_CHARACTERSET and NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET parameters to comply with the requirement of the application?

  • How can I change a hexadecimal value to normal, without changing the characters

    How can I change "3932" (spell displayed string) to ' 39 32 "(normal displayed string with space)". "

    Hi chuck,

    -convert the string into array of U8

    -feed this table of an autoindexing FOR loop, convert each byte for length string hex = 2, add a space, wire the string concatenated out of the loop (leading to an array of strings)

    -wire the array of strings to a 'string concat' node to get a unique string, delete the last tank (as it is a space)

  • CSSCAN in 11g - Characterset does not change the WE8IMSWIN1252 to AL32UTF8

    All,
    We have installed an 11g database in GNU / Linux, and one time after that we wanted to change the AL32UTF8 default WE8MSWIN1252 character set.

    We took the approach of cs-alter and ran cs-scan utility, through csscan.txt files generated by the utility csscan, that we found that there is no data loss, but given convertible have been found in the data dictionary. Here is the output of csscan.txt

    This is the summary of Scan

    I'm sorry for making the big thread but to make sure and give a complete picture of the glued question the content of csscan. Ask the PRO's to help us in this problem.

    Thanks for the reply.

    It was because of the value defaults to the only apex user created during installation of 11 g. We let him down and could easily change the characters and recreated the user back.

  • How to change the character of database defined on the physical standby database?

    Hello

    We hear a database to WE8ISO8859P1 character and migrated the character set using csscan/csalter scripts to WE8MSWIN1252. This database has a configuration also physical standby database, and after the migration, the database physical standby shows always defined as WE8ISO8859P1 character. How can I change the characters on the physics of the day before? I asked a Service request with Oracle, and they said that you re-create the database pending is the only way to support the development of the tank set to the standby database. Is this true?


    Thank you
    Anthony

    You have received good advice from the Support of Oracle, so I recommend doing a complete refresh of Eve, but if you want to play with fire...

    On the elementary level, you can: -.

    target connection.
    RUN {}
    ALLOCATE CHANNEL disk1 DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT ' / home/oracle/rman_%d_%T_%s_%p';
    BACKUP CURRENT CONTROLFILE TO SLEEP;
    }

    or

    ALTER DATABASE CREATE STANDBY CONTROLFILE AS ' / home/oracle/standby.ctl';

    Then you stop the watch, replace the with the new primary backup controlfile and make sure that file names are correct (select name from v$ datafile). If the file names are correct, start the recovery. Otherwise, rename files, or difficulty with the rman command 'catalogue start with '.

  • How to change the WE8ISO8859P1 NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET to AL16UTF16?

    [https://www.dropbox.com/s/cqsbioq5nwishfo/Oracle%20Settings.PNG]

    Hello

    My client has an Oracle9i. (to Brazil).

    I already loaded all the data I need, and I have problem with the accentuation of the Brazilian character.

    Data with emphasis in the database are stored properly, (I can see it very well using a SELECT manually in SQLPLUS or TOAD)

    But I built a xHarbour program to access and emphasis seems bad onscreen (windows back) (crazy characters appears).

    I was already created an another Oracle9i database in my book and I can see the characters with thin accent, so I only accent problems when run my program xHarbour against the database of the customer in mu.

    I noticed that the NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET in my customer database is set to WE8ISO8859P1.

    I have my local Oracle9i Database, the NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET is set to AL16UTF16

    I think that's the problem. !!

    My question is:

    How to change the WE8ISO8859P1 NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET to AL16UTF16 in Oracle9i?

    Be careful that my clients have 3 other servers (Windows 2003 Server) configured with NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET = AL16UTF16 Oracle9i and against this server I see the Brazilian characters 'fine' of the client program xHarbour. (xHabour is similar to the Clipper language with functions to connect to Oracle)

    I have a problΦmes with the Brazilian caractΦres when using 'only' against the server configured with NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET = WE8ISO8859P1 (my client have a single Oracle9i server configured with NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET = WE8ISO8859P1.

    All other Oracle9i servers are configured with NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET = AL16UTF16 (since the creation of the database), and I have no problems with this server.

    So my question is:

    How to change the WE8ISO8859P1 NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET to AL16UTF16 in Oracle9i?

    I think that something is as SESSION, ALTER DATABASE, ALTER etc, but I'm not sure. I want to make this change permanently.

    Could you help me with this, please?

    Please see the attached link.

    Thanks in advance,

    Luigggye

  • Value US7ASCII AL32UTF8 database character change

    Our database is running on the Oracle 10.1.0.4.0 database (AIX) the following are its parameters:


    SQL > select value from NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS where parameter = "NLS_CHARACTERSET";

    VALUE
    ----------------------------------------
    US7ASCII


    We would like to change the value AL32UTF8 database character. After completing the Metalink notes: 260192.1 (who helped us solve data "With" and "Truncated", is the final result of the CSSCAN utility):

    [Scanning summary]
    All data type characters in the data dictionary can be convertible to the new character set
    All data of character type is convertible to the new character set

    [Summary of the Data Conversion dictionary]
    The data dictionary can be migrated safely using the CSALTER script

    We have no truncation and with (0) entry on the .txt file. We have Changeless and Convertible. Now accdg to the documentation, we can do a FULL EXP and FULL IMP. But it does not detail how to do the conversion on the same database. The discussion on the document explains how do from one database to another database. But what about on the same database?

    We cannot use CSALTER as indicated on the document.
    (Step 6
    Step 12
    12.c) when you use Csalter/Alter database to AL32UTF8 and there was NO data "Truncation", only "Convertible" and "Changeless" in the csscan in point 4 :)

    After you COMPLETE the database export, how can we change its character set? What must we do the existing database to change its character value AL32UTF8 until we import back our in the same dump file database?

    Help, please.

    You cannot use CSALTER indeed you have given application convertible. Only the application data does not change are supported by the script.

    We do not support the conversion in place of the version of database you have except via Oracle Consulting services. Please upgrade to one of the versions of database supported by the DMU (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/globalization/dmu/overview/index.html) utility and ask the DB fix required for the enhanced version and platform supported by the Oracle. I think there is already a patch for 10.2.0.5 on AIX 64-bit POWER but this is to be confirmed.

    Without the CDS, you can do a selective export of only convertible tables, truncate table, use CSALTER and re - import.

  • Error ORA-12712 when changing the character set AL32UTF8 to nls

    Hello

    It is strongly advised to use the AL32UTF8 database character set when ever a database is used with our XML capabilities. The database character set in the installed base is WE8MSWIN1252. To use XML DB functionality, I need to change it to AL32UTF8. But, when I try to do that, I get ORA-12712: new character set must be a superset of the old character set. Is there a way to fix this?

    Thanks in advance,
    Divya.

    Hello

    a change of we8mswin1252 to al32utf8 is not directly possible. This is because al32utf is not a binary superset of we8mswin1252.

    There are 2 options:
    -use any export and import
    -Use of the altar in a kind of limited

    Depends on the method, you can choose the characters in the database, is that only ASCII then the other can work, in other cases, one is necessary.

    It is all described in Note 260192.1support, "replacing the NLS_CHARACTERSET AL32UTF8 / UTF8 (Unicode). Get on-site support/metalink.

    You can also read the chapters about it in the Guide of globalization: [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10729/ch11charsetmig.htm#g1011430] change characterset.

  • CharacterSet change WE8ISO8859P1 to AL32UTF8

    Hello


    I restore the rman on new oracle server 11.2.0.3 (previous backup has been Oracle 10.2.0.4).

    Then I pass the oracle 11g database but the issue that I am facing at this moment the old database of the characteristics defined on WE8ISO8859P1 which is now transformed into oracle 11.2.0.3 database server.

    My required character set is AL32UTF32.

    Now is it possible that, during the restoration of the rman backup of oracle 10.2.0.4 on the new server, I updated the character set AL32UTF32.


    Thank you for your cooperation.


    Kind regards

    Adnan Hamdussalam

    But my question is that, while restoring the backup rman for oracle 10g again more new server database oracle 11g. Before you restore it on the new server is it possible possible to change.

    Only possible
    * Change the source before the backup.
    * Backup & restore

    You can't make the game of character conversion during the restore process.
