Language problem: ODBC changes special characters

We are running Oracle 10 g and you have clients who need to access certain points of view using an ODBC connection.

The Instant Client ODBC package installation goes smoothly. We have established a system DSN and the customer has a connection to the database.

Some special characters (e.g. German "& licence;","& ouml;) "," & uuml; "and the symbol"& Oslash; ("in diameter) are however changed when seen in Access or other 3rd party programms that use this system DSN (" "& licence; ' becomes 'a'," & ouml; "becomes"o","& Oslash;"becomes"? ", etc..").

I guess there may be only a single parameter, that we missed to set up. Can anyone help?

TNSNAMES. ORA (name changed):

ORACLE_DEVELOP =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = & lt; hostname & gt;)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = xyz)
)
)

Ensure that your NLS_LANG = TERRITOIRE_LINGUISTIQUE. CHARACTERSET is compatible with that obtained on the database server.
the value of your CHARACTER set must match exactly that of the database.

  • Potential problem of keyboard - special characters

    Hello!

    I recently encountered a problem, and it is reproducible. When you type in Chrome on my Macbook Pro 13 inch Yosemite running, if I try to type a special character (for example, an 'e' with an accent), the keyboard becomes unresponsive. If I refresh the page, it still fails. The only way to make sensitive again is to close the browser and reopen it, but that does not make special characters work. Any ideas? I'm under 47.0.2526.111 (64 - bit) Chrome Version, if this is useful. Thank you!

    You have this problem with any app Apple, such as Safari, Mail, TextEdit, Pages, messages, Notes?

    Many people have had problems with HTML special characters in their "spelled" versions

    Have you tried a digital enconding for the same symbol? My Windows charmap indicates a character U + 221 a reference (I think translates UTF-8 0x221A); a site called webref.info shows HTML encoding of & #8730. Digital HTML seems more likely, but I think that HR went compatible to RH7 or 8 UTF-8 version.

    You can also try to select/copy/paste Windows charmap - I don't know if it will work better, but RoboHelp is quite oriented Windows.

    Sorry I can't be more specific, but I have an old version of HR and cannot test these suggestions.

  • Problems with special characters with Apex5

    Hello together,

    I hope, I'm right on this forum with this problem, I have found no other best match.

    I have a single database called apex12D on 12.1.0.2 it's my database of the 5 Apex develompent. Apex 5.0.2 is installed, also the German language of Apex. The OS is Oracle Linux 6.

    On a second machine that I have configured the Oracle Data Service remains with tomcat (installed from the repositories) and apache (also installed deposits), running on the Oracle Linux 7 operating system. This machine is my "http server" to connect to my Apex environment. Everything is very well workung, but when I go on my Apex Admin Backend all special characters in German (A, U, O,...) are displayed incorrectly. Which looks very good.

    What makes that I made:

    To the database (apex12D), I put all the nls paramereters the installation of the database of German letters:

    SYS@apex12D> select * from nls_database_parameters;

  • SLM2048 - problems of password with special characters

    Hi all

    We´ve got a SLM2048 in use (more updated FW) and I wanted to ask our new standards of password on this switch. So I changed the password for the admin user and used special characters, that were = &! = and clicked on update and save the changes. Now, I know that I should use alphanumeric characters only, but why are there no routine that checks the IPL for compliance before writing it on the switch.

    Problem now is that I'm unable to open a session and Don t want to do a hard reset, because the pattern would be lost. I know it should be a user admin rescue, but there is none.  What can I do now? Any chance that a cisco engineer could get in touch with me to debug the password entered in the laboratory and then, who could tell me what was recorded in ROM or how I can connect again?

    Thank you

    Philippe

    Hello

    I will ask our PM on a routine that checks for characters and whether or not they are acceptable for the system.  We should also make this more clear in the Administrator's guide.

    Just thinking out loud here... If she had the character, I wonder if he he replaced by a space, stars or a different character.    Have you tried with spaces where special characters have been?

  • Problem with Demo_Mail package sending an attachment and special characters

    Hello

    I did use the Demo_Mail package with the example in the http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/tech/pl_sql/htdocs/Utl_Smtp_Sample.html for many years on my 9i database.

    Recently, we have taken a form that depends on this package and quickly found that Asian characters were not correctly in the e-mail subject or body. When I changed the procedure by example, characters came through, however, attachments now appear in the body of the email as ascii.

    /*------------------------------------------------------start the email creation--------------------------------------------------------------------*/
    Conn: = demo_mail.begin_mail)
    sender = > from_name,.
    recipient = > to_name,.
    subject = > subject,.
    mime_type = > "text/plain; charset = utf8');

    () demo_mail.write_mb_text
    Conn = > conn,.
    message = > message | UTL_TCP. CRLF);

    If file1 is not null
    then
    () demo_mail2.begin_attachment
    Conn = > conn,.
    mime_type = > ' application/octet-stream. "
    Online = > FALSE,
    v_filename = > file1.
    transfer_enc = > 'base64');

    file_len: = dbms_lob.getlength (wire);
    modulo: = mod (file_len, TN);
    parts: = trunc(file_len / amt);


    / * (dbms_lob.read (wire, amt, filepos, buf); * /)


    While (counter < = pieces) LOOP

    DBMS_LOB. Read (wire, amt, filepos, buf);
    demo_mail.write_raw (conn, utl_encode.base64_encode (buf));
    filepos: = counter * TN + 1;
    counter: = counter + 1;

    END LOOP;

    / * Point on the rest of the data buffer * /.
    IF (modulo <>0) then
    DBMS_LOB. Read (wire, modulo, filepos, buf);
    demo_mail2.write_raw (conn, utl_encode.base64_encode (buf));
    end if;

    () demo_mail.end_attachment
    Conn = > conn);
    end if;

    () demo_mail.end_mail
    Conn = > conn);
    /*------------------------------------------------------end the email creation--------------------------------------------------------------------*/


    How can I have my cake and eat it too? Examples of scripts showing this scenario exist?

    In addition, even if I was able to get the body of the email to display special characters, the subject line still displays question marks instead of the special characters. I was never able to solve this problem.

    Any help to any of these questions is greatly appreciated!

    Thank you

    Kim

    You use the utl_encode.quoted_printable_encode before making all these changes? Most, if not all, of these accented characters must be converted to quoted printable form by the utl_encode.quoted_printable_encode function, then you only need to focus on the specific characters that must be encoded to the channel to cover additional expenditures for the mimeheader encoding. Specifically the white space characters should be encoded as well as the question mark.

    Also, I have done some minor testing and it seems that the quoted_printable_encode function folds the text when it exceeds a specific length. If I unfold the coded text object lines seem to come by fine. The folding text string is an equal sign followed by the sequence CRLF, unfold the text is a simple matter of these three characters. These changes becomes the encoding routine encapsulated in a function:

    create or replace function mimeheader_encode(
          p_str varchar2
        , p_charset varchar2 := 'UTF-8') return varchar2 is
      l_str varchar2(2000);
    begin
      l_str:=utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2(utl_encode.quoted_printable_encode(utl_raw.cast_to_raw(p_str)));
      l_str:=replace(l_str,'='||chr(13)||chr(10),''); --unfold the data
      l_str:=replace(l_str,'?','=3f'); --quote question marks
      l_str:=replace(l_str,' ','=20'); --quote spaces
      l_str:='=?'||p_charset||'?Q?'||l_str||'?='; -- add prefix and suffix
      return l_str;
    end;
    /
    
  • Problem of L50 - B satellite with special characters in country

    I recently bought the laptop SATELLITE L50 - B - 17 c and have a problem with special characters from countries in windows 7.

    In Polish, key key programmer combination right alt and the keys 'z', 'x', and 'c' should give the Polish special characters.

    Unfortunately this does not work for these three keys, however works other keys in Polish characters as 'l', 'n', 'a', a ' or 'e '. I suspect that this may be linked to the special key Fn,.

    However turning or disable in the BIOS did not help. Maybe there should be a driver of special keyboard for windows 7, but I have not found it :(

    {quote} I recently bought the laptop SATELLITE L50 - B - 17 c and have a problem with special characters from countries in windows 7. {quote}

    The laptop has been presintalled and configured with the Win 8.1 System.
    Have you noticed this problem with installation of Win 7 8.1 or after the victory?

    If you have an external USB keyboard, I recommend you to check if the same problem would appear using the USB keyboard. In case the external USB keyboard would work correctly, the problem could be related to a defective internal keyboard

  • Problem with special characters: € among others

    Hello world

    I'm updating some special characters on my DB.

    But every time I try to put up-to-date I always get the same data, even if the YPDATE Clause says that the data has been successfully updated.

    For example, whenever I try to update and € sign, it does according to the UPDATE clause, but is not on the table.

    Any advice on how to proceed?

    I really appreciate your advice.

  • PDF attributes - special characters - Microsoft word has changed

    I create multiple PDFs (with Acrobat 9 Pro) every day from Microsoft Word 2003. When I do a lot of changes to the MS Word document, I compare the new PDF from the old PDF. The menu of Acrobat 9, I use the Document / compare and select "reports, spreadsheets, presentations magazine.

    I have a lot of special characters in my Word document, such as chips, and symbol characters such as ' less than or equal to ' and ' greater than or equal to ". Even if none of the pages with these symbols have changed, the special characters are marked as changes.

    It's really annoying. I have to watch many false "changed pages" and decide to ignore them. Today, I've recreated a 62 page PDF file. There is only two pages I had edited in Word format. When I compared the files PDF, he marked 30 pages with modifications.

    Each page with a point of the bullet has been marked as a change. When I pass the mouse on this point in the Acrobat summary compare, it shows a different size ball and indicates that the police has changed. But actually, nothing has changed.

    I'm curious to know if anyone knows how to keep these elements of flag changes Acrobat. In earlier versions of Acrobat, there was a way to say to ignore the changes of fonts. Maybe someone could tell me how to do this in Acrobat 9...

    One possibility could be that the fonts are not included.
