Insertion of a special Spanish Word via unix creates problem

Hello

We are on Oracle 10.2.0.4 on Solaris 10. I want to insert a Spanish word in one of my table, and he created a strange question as shown below:
SQL>desc span_test
 Name                                      Null?    Type
 ----------------------------------------- -------- ----------------------------
 C1                                                 VARCHAR2(100)

Database characterset:
WE8MSWIN1252
I ran this command from Windows machine using sqlplus:
insert into span_test values('retención');
1 row created.

SQL> commit;

Commit complete.

SQL > select * from span_test;

C1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
retención

--Now I ran same insert but from solaris box from sqlplus:
SQL> insert into span_test values('retención');

1 row created.

SQL> commit;

Commit complete.

--now this new row has junk character in it!
SQL > select * from span_test;

C1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
retención
retenci¿n

--now again from Solaris box I set the following NLS setting and ran insert:
--and by the way I got this hint from one of the post in this forum.
 export NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1
SQL> insert into span_test values('retención');

1 row created.

SQL> commit;

Commit complete.

--no it no more creates junk data!
SQL> select * from span_test;

C1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
retención
retenci¿n
retención  *<--Good value from Solaris box!*
Running the Solaris insert box is important because DBA Production runs this script in Solaris. My question is that, the setting I used is appropriate and that it is not any other right side effect?
Asking because my character set of database: WE8MSWIN1252 but to avoid data corruption, I updated the value of nls_lang AMERICAN_AMERICA. WE8ISO8859P1. Is this good?

Thank you

There is a mismatch between the regional settings on the Unix machine and the default value, an unspecified value of NLS_LANG on this box.
WE8MSWIN1252 is a superset of WE8ISO8859P1, sort of conversion must be correct.
The current issue is the result of the mismatch between locale and NLS_LANG unspecified.

  • Insertion of pictures in a word on Area2 document mutiple

    Hi guys, I would like to know how I can insert several pictures into a word document (at the same time), which are located on individual lines in the folder "my pictures." I know that I can select several photos in a block by dragging my finger on the screen. But I want to know how I can insert photos 3 and 4 which are on separate lines in the folder "my pictures."

    Kind regards

    Paul

    If you select a single photo icon, then hold SHIFT key and click on another, all of the intermediate images will be highlighted (and more of the two you have clicked on at the ends).  This allows you to select a solid range of icons.

    If you select a single photo icon, and then hold down Ctrl while you click on more images, each image you click is highlighted, allowing you to randomly select ad-hoc icons.

  • Error message Microsoft Word "Word could not create the work file. Check the amount of disk space on your startup disk. »

    I have a MacBook Pro, retina 13inch OS X el Capitan Version 10.11.1 with 16 GB of memory. It's brand new and I have recently installed Microsoft Word/Powerpoint etc. a disc that I bought a few years to my previous MacBook. It seems to work very well, but whenever I want to open a word document a message comes up saying "Word could not create the work file. Check the amount of disk space on your startup disk '. However, once I click 'OK' this message disappears and my word file opens without a problem. I have 16 GB of memory on this laptop and it's new I have not reached anywhere near the maximum amount of storage so I'm puzzled as to what this message means. How can I avoid that this message popping up everytime I open Microsoft Word? Any help would be appreciated!

    This has nothing to do with memory - it's the SSD. Word tries to create a temporary file to use as a backup if the program crashes while you are working. First, run the Microsoft Update program to see if there are updates you have missed. Second, Microsoft currently supports only versions 2011 and 2016, so if yours is older, you should consider the upgrade. Thirdly, I suspect that the temporary file is not get created so that you have fewer cancellations (maybe any) and that if the program crashes you have to restore.

  • Then, right click on a doc file and choosing create a pdf file... Word 2013 launches and creates problems. We are using Acrobat Pro. Is there a way to disable this feature in Word 2013?

    Hello

    Acrobat X doesn't support office in 2013. You will need to upgrade to Acrobat 11.0.1 or higher to use the feature to create a PDF file.

    Otherwise, you can open the Word file and print to PDF using the Adobe PDF printer. But it is not as rich as the one created by PDFMaker.

  • Insertion of PDF files into word documents

    Since download Adobe X I couldn't insert a PDF document into a word (using Office 2007 and Office 2010) document.  I get the following error message:

    "The program used to create this object is AcroExch.  This program is either not installed on your computer, or it does not.  The change this object install AcroExch or ensure that any dialogs in AcroExch are closed.

    As this was a feature I used without any problem before downloading Adobe X I can only assume that it's to do with the download.

    Any ideas please?

    Maybe a problem of protection of Adobe Reader X mode.

    1. Disable the touchpad and mouse, like all devices keyboard-inserted (pointer stick and buttons.)  Maybe one of these methods work for you?
      http://support.Dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/KCS/document?docid=424135
    2. Connect a USB mouse.
    3. Use USB mouse exclusively for a day or two...
    4. Problems still?

    Most of the time this problem is easily explained and tested by something like the above.  A replacement test must cover the touchpad with something thick enough to prevent it being used as you type.  It takes nothing to activate these keys to touch and some people are more likely to do so (as others are actually less likely to do so).  I haven't looked into why - but given their operation, it might have to do with static electricity and tastes.

    You'd be surprised how many times this is neglected.  I know you want to be something simple like the one you've apparently spent much too much money so he can be something that ridiculously simplistic - but...  Try it.  You have nothing to loose (certainly less money you already have)?

    Hello

    Yes, you can do this by using the Word change cell VI under reporting > specific word > Word tables in your diagram of function pallet blocks.  After you create a table, you can modify specific cells and send the file path of the image saved on your computer to that specific cell.  I have set up an example that I have attached here as well to help you with this.

  • Cannot delete or rename a file Word via Windows Explorer

    Windows 7 - Word 2007. Modification of a file .doc (compatibility mode) where the word went into a loop where it ignored all the entries. I waited for half an hour and finally had to stop the word with the Task Manager. The file that was opened at the time cannot be deleted or renamed. Same results when the system is booted in safe mode. Message is "the action cannot be completed because the file is opened in Microsoft Office Word. Word is NOT open at this stage. Result even after a reboot and no further action other than the attempt to delete the same message.

    If the file is opened in Word and immediately closed with no action of any kind, always the same result, cannot delete the file and the same message is given.

    Surprisingly, the file can be copied but try to remove the copy gets the same message.

    How can I delete the file?

    Re: Virus Scan - I use AVG and ran the scan with no problems found

    Re: Safe Mode, see my original post. I tried without success

    However... I found a way to remove the file. The BACK DEL cmd line feature deletes the file. We have to be careful and make sure that absolutely nothing reference file. The first time I tried to delete the file that I had Windows Explorer open and the file was clicked and the first page was displayed in the preview window and the DEL command failed, noting that the file is open in another application.

    When I closed the window of the Explorer and retried the DEL command, it worked!

    Unfortunately it took me almost two days to think about trying the DOS command line utility. I won't forget her now.

    Thanks for responding.

    You ask if I have problems and I still have another major unresolved problem. It is, however, deliver a MS Word. If this isn't your cup of tea, perhaps you can point one word on it gurus.

    I posted this a few days ago on the Office Online site in the area of the floor. There has been no response...

    Here is a copy of the message:

    -------------------------------------------

    Word 2007 and Windows 7.

    I have a file called v1.doc who was already involved in a situation where while I just changed that word went into a loop, and after waiting half an hour, I had to terminate Word by using the Task Manager.

    When I reopened it v1.doc Word seems to have recovered the file correctly, but at the top of the window where the name of the file is indicated, there is now the "(Read-Only) text '."

    When I try to save the file Word tells me that as the current file is read-only, I must give the file a new nane what I do: v2.doc and speech issues.

    When I opened v2.doc I expected the read-only attribute is missing since the new name has been provided. However, v2.doc file has the same note "read-only" at the top.

    Record (using Save as) as v3.doc v2.doc continues the same process.

    I can't get rid of the read-only attribute and therefore every change requires a new version of the file.

    If we check the file properties in Windows Explorer the read attribute alone is NOT defined.

    ---------------------------------
    I could not remove these files are older versions v1.doc, etc that I note above

    Any solution to this problem would be highly appreciated.
