• How to convert binary data NVARCHAR2?

  Hi all

  I have binary data in the database (RAW oracle data type). I know that these data contain string encoded in UTF8. Our database runs in WE8ISO8859P15 encoding, UTF8 national character set. Then I would just convert the binary data NVARCHAR2. How can I do?

  I found the UTL_RAW function. CAST_TO_NVARCHAR2. However, this function takes only binary data as a parameter, so I highly doubt that it will work as I hope without specification of source character set...

  Someone has an idea?

• QString turns not in UTF8

  Hi all

  I have attached a sample application which I parse SOAP api and received the answer of webservice and convert UTF8 response but QString turns not in UTF8 so can you check my app?

  I convert as below but still not get

  QString finalVal = responseValue.toString();
  finalVal = finalVal.left(finalVal.length() - 1);
  finalVal = finalVal.mid(1);
  QString text = QString::fromUtf8(finalVal.toStdString().c_str());
  termsWebView->setHtml(text);
  

  Note :-if I put static QString while they convert to UTF8 but I put Analyzer QString then they do not convert to UTF8.

  You will need to make sure they are off escaped as well.

  for example:

  If (next == 'r') {}

  result += "\r";

  } Else if (next == 'n') {}

  . . .

  } ElseIf (next! = 'u') {}

  . . . (like what)

  } else {}

  I read a lot of forum messages and all API Tunis and I lost! as the use of tr() or QString::toUtf8 etc... !

  How can I solve this?

  Hello

  Please try changing the QString type parameter:

  void ApplicationUI::CopyText(const QString &text)
  

  In the function convert the text to UTF-8 byte array:

  void Application::CopyText(const QString &text)
  {
      bb::system::Clipboard clipboard;
      clipboard.clear();
      clipboard.insert("text/plain", text.toUtf8());
  
      bb::system::SystemToast *toast = new SystemToast(this);
      toast->setBody("Copied!");
      toast->show();
  }
  

  I think it was not working before because the function was already taking a QByteArray and implicit conversion (default) converted the ASCII instead of UTF8 encoding string.

  BTW, in function of the names Qt applications usually start lowercase letters, but this should not affect anything.

• Support UTF8 throughout the BONE

  Hey,.

  I'm trying to share text, but none of the system applications seem to support UTF8 character. I am trying to share a text string that included the® character, the character appears as a box with an X in it in text messages and a diamond with a question mark in the email app.

  I add the character as follows:

  data: "Sharing some text \u00AE"
  

  BB10 OS takes just not in UTF - 8 in many of its native applications?

  Seems not be documentation on what encoding is supported by email, SMS, apps etc.

  Apparently it is the UTF-8 support, for the email application, at least. Calling function QString toUtf8() on the data until it is set correctly analysis the character.

  I wonder if there is a way to do it in right QML, though, or if there is a syntax that is supported for the insertion of codes of UTF-8 characters in the string and having analyzed them automatically, as I tried to do.

• transfer data from a database not AL32UTF8 (WE8ISO8859P1, US7ASCII, UTF8) to a db AL32UTF8 using dblinks

  Hello

  We had 3 databases off-production of the version 11.2.0.4 on AIX platform. These 3 databases had character set WE8ISO8859P1, US7ASCII & UTF8.

  We are migrating to AIX to the Linux platform and DB version will remain the same. New databases will have character set AL32UTF8.

  We had gone through various metalink notes related to conversion problems and possibly the character set. We understand that we need run the csscan utility to check

  all possible data issues and fixed before using export/import. We are trying to see if we can use DB link to copy data from db not AL32UTF8 AL32UTF8 DB.

  And we have not found any document mentioned that DB link can handle character set conversion and can use as an alternative to export/import.

  Our concern is that can we use DB links to copy data not AL32UTF8 db db AL32UTF8 after we deal with truncation and data loss?

  The DB has only English characters and symbols. There are sign euro no. European characters or Asian characters in db.

  Help, please.

  Yes, you can use the links to the DB.  I doubt DB links are faster than Data Pump, but they perform character set conversion. Questions that you can meet the copy of data through DB links are basically the same, you may encounter using Data Pump or any other method of migration.

  One import thing to note: If you are using ETG over link DB (without specifying data types), columns of the semantics of length created on the target aura database bytes of length three times larger than the columns in the source constraints. You can run the CREATE TABLE AS SELECT INSERT followed instead.

• Oracle Gateway with WE8ISO8859P15 SqlServer Unicode

  HelloW,

  Our database is configured in the character WE8ISO8859P15. We have installation-ed program a gateway to a ms sqlserver.

  If I create a query of tables having a column varchar2 (4000). I receive a connection to the oracle gateway error.

  This is because SQL Server is configured to Unicode. So to my question:

  Is it possible to change the init file to add a parameter taking Western Europe all of the unicode characters and converts them to WE8ISO8859P15.

  
  

  I know that we cannot take all the unicode characters. Actually, it isn't a limit of our database sqlserver configuration.

  Unfortunately If we want to do it now, we owe it to the trunk of the varchar2 (4000) in 2000. I think that there is more chance that things go wrong, then just choosing the characters WE8ISO8859P15.

  
  

  Another solution would be to convert our entire database to unicode.

  This is not allowed by the business I'm afraid...

  
  

  Thanks and greetings

  
  

  Nico
  

  Sorry to insist here, but are you be sure that the source is a column of nvarchar2 (4000)?

  If the answer is Yes - the cause is very simple...

  Maximum precision of Oracle nvarchar2 is 2000:

  SQL > create table xxx (col1 nvarchar2 (4000));

  create table xxx (col1 nvarchar2 (4000))

  *

  ERROR on line 1:

  ORA-00910: specified length too long for its data type

  When you now want to map a nvarchar (4000), then your database Oracle needs a set of Unicode characters. Only when the Oracle database uses a set of Unicode characters, the gateway is able to map it to a data type long Oracle.

  In all other cases, you will be able to select from that particular column. This restriction is also documented in books by looking at the data type mapping section.

  A way around this limitation is to create in your database source, a view that throws the varchar nvarchar column (if possible) or to create a view on the side of source database that separates the content of that particular column into 2 separate columns (substring).

• External loading UTF8 Table file

  I'm having a problem with the external tables, I do not understand. Hoping someone can help out me?

  Here's how to create the external table.

  The external table write in the .bad file all the lines that have the words with accent like a, c, i and so on...

  I already create a file with the character set different as ISO-8859-1 and replaced the character set of the script create table WE8ISO8859P1 and work.
  

  Is there a problem with UTF8 file loading?

• Trying to understand NVARCHAR with UTF8

  Hey everybody,

  Hoping to help understand the behavior NVARCHAR and others; I've not used it much in the past.

  I'm on: 11.2.0.3.0

  Background:

  -existing database:

  WE8ISO8859P1 NLS_CHARACTERSET

  NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET UTF8

  Most of the columns use 'normal' VARCHAR2 data type, and I'm generally okay with that.

  However, they used NVARCHAR2 data type for the data in the column "french" (although the WE8ISO8859P1 character set they use supports french. * sigh *)

  In any case... is not even with a french character. I think this is the 'Smart' quote of the window.

  Question:

  Running a query to get a picture of the 'bad' production data, shows the character (a quote any: "don't know not if making it will transfer all correctly"), such as code ASCII 49810 or 49809 (we see both)

  In an attempt to install a 'test' in development to happen again and I can't seem to do.

  create unwanted table (ID, vv nvarchar2 (100));

  insert into junk values (1, chr (49809));

  insert into junk values (2, chr (49810));

  insert into junk values (3, chr (96));

  commit;

  SELECT id, vv, dump junk (vv);

  Developer SQL (via Windows) and SQL * Plus (via Unix), see the same thing:

  ID VV                                       DUMP(VV)

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

  1?                                        Typ = 1 Len = 2: 0.145

  2?                                        Typ = 1 Len = 2: 0,146

  3 `                                        Typ=1 Len=2: 0,96

  3 selected lines.

  In both cases, the 'smart' quotes don't to not correctly store and appear to be "converted".

  I'm not really sure what's going on, but I was trying to figure out how to set my NLS_LANG, but don't know what to put in?

  On Unix, I tried:

  export NLS_LANG = American_America.UTF8

  However, which amends the code of '? ' to 'Â' (re-directed the entire script, the same code: 145/146 stored, so still lose it during the insertion, I guess)

  So I suspect it's a case of this character not actually supported by UTF8, right?

  For SQL Developer, not so lucky... I put a Windows env variable NLS_LANG even above, however, it still shows in SQL Developer as a box empty.

  Issues related to the:

  (1) just to check, I'm even not sure that these characters (IE 49810 and 49809) are based in fact on UTF8? (did some research, but could not find anything that could confirm it for some..)

  (2) how (good) set NLS_LANG for SQL Developer and what to put in so I can read/write characters in those pesky NVARCHAR fields?

  (3) how to enter (even with force)-49809 characters or 49810? (for testing purposes only! )

  (FYI: this is especially for me learning.) The 'solution' to our initial problem is to convert these bad characters of 'normal' quotes: IE code ASCII 39. Of course, be able to properly test the update would be really very nice, this is why I need to 'force' the entry of some bad data in dev

  Thank you!

  Answers:

  (1) just to check, I'm not even sure that these characters (IE 49810 and 49809) are based in fact on UTF8 ? (did some research, but could not find something that could confirm it for some..)

  Yes, this is valid UTF-8 character codes. However, their meaning is not what you expect. 49809 = UTF - 8 0xC291 = U + 0091 = PU1 control character (USE PRIVATE ONE). 49810 is in UTF - 8 0xC292 is U + 0092 = PU2 (TWO of USE PRIVACY) control character

  (2) how (good) set NLS_LANG for SQL Developer and what to set it so I can read/write characters in those pesky NVARCHAR fields?

  Developer SQL does not read NLS_LANG at all. You must not do anything to read and write content NVARCHAR2 using the data of a table editor tab or read the content with a worksheet query. Additional configuration is required to support particular NVARCHAR2 literals in SQL commands. However, you can still use the UNISTR function to encode Unicode characters for type NVARCHAR2 columns.

  (3) How to enter (even with force)-49809 characters or 49810? (for testing only for purposes!)

  Not really possible keyboard because they are control codes. You can insert only with SQL using CHR or UNISTR.

  (4) what is the real problem?

  The real problem is the direct configuration called application insert these characters paired with the fact the application inserts NVARCHAR2 data without mark it as such in the corresponding API Oracle (OCI, Pro * C, JDBC). NLS_LANG is set up as. WE8ISO8859P1 for the application and the database is WE8ISO8859P1 as well. When a Windows client application written for Win32 API ANSI passes these Oracle quotes, the quotes are encode as 0 x 91 / 0 x 92. However, this encoding for the french quotation marks is correct in the Windows 1252 code Page (name of Oracle: WE8MSWIN1252), not in ISO-8859-1 (name of Oracle: WE8ISO8859P1). As character set NLS_LANG and database are the same, no conversion happens to the codes. On the side of the database, Oracle considers that the target column is of type NVARCHAR2, so it converts to WE8ISO8859P1 in UTF8. However, the interpretation of codes does not at the moment and UTF8 codes that result are 0xC2 0 x 91 and 0xC2 0 x 92 (ISO-8859-1 encoding codes control PU1 PU2) instead of the correct 0xE2 0x80 0 x 98 and 0xE2 0x80 0 x 99 (encoding Cp1252 characters SINGLE LEFT quotation MARK and quotation MARK SINGLE RIGHT).

  Solutions:

  1. the best solution is to migrate the database to AL32UTF8 and discard the NVARCHAR2 data type. You will be able to store any language in any column VARCHAR2.

  2. less forward-looking but a simpler solution is to migrate the database character value WE8MSWIN1252. If additional characters are French, get rid of the NVARCHAR2 data type, because it is just extra cost.

  3. the minimum solution is to migrate the database by WE8MSWIN1252 character and keep the NVARCHAR2 columns.

  If the data to be inserted more French and quotes, you should definitely go with the first option. The third solution would work after changes appropriate to the use of the application of the API of the Oracle client.

  In any solution, the NLS_LANG should be replaced by. Application WE8MSWIN1252 (but this will not only help).

  Thank you

• Difference between AL32UTF8 and UTF8

  Hello

  Our current database version is 10g with CHARSET = UTF8 to support Greek characters. However, the customer wants to switch to 11g (11.2.0.4.0) and the database of test created with CHARSET = AL32UTF8.

  Up to now to insert Greek characters, we have been offering script mentioning set NLS_LANG = AMERICAN_AMERICA. UTF8 and he has been inserting Greek characters correctly. However, it does not work with the new machine. If this setting, execution of the script gives error for the Greek characters "quoted string not properly done".

  
  

  I have two questions here:

  
  

  (1) is there a difference between UTF8 and AL32UTF8?

  (2) settings NLS_LANG works on character set of database right? What setting I put for NLS_LANG allowing to insert Greek characters or script windows or linux machine to run?

  
  

  Thanks in advance.
  

  Hello

  Answered below:

  -Oracle UTF8 is Unicode 3.0 revision in 8.1.7 and upward. AL32UTF8 is updated with Unicode versions in each major release, Oracle RDBMS 12.1 it is updated to Unicode 6.1,

  Apart from the difference in Unicode version the "big difference" between UTF8 and AL32UTF8 AL32UTF8 has build in support for "Additional characters", which are coded using "Surrogate pairs" (also wrongly called ' surrogate characters"'").

  Oracle UTF8 (Unicode 3.0) stores additional characters in the form of 2 characters, for a total of 6 bytes, using "modified UTF-8" instead of the "standard UTF - 8"(implemented in Oracle 9.2 and upward using AL32UTF8) 4 bytes for an extra character.

  This "modified UTF-8' is also called CESU-8 .

  Practically, this means that in 99% of UTF8 and AL32UTF8 data are the same for * storage * data. Only the additional characters differ in bytes/codes stored between UTF8 and AL32UTF8.

  -the necessary parameters are:

  LANG = el_gr. UTF8

  LC_ALL = el_GR.utf8

  NLS_LANG = 'GREEK_GREECE. AL32UTF8.

• Forms 10g + UTF8 - Item displays # when he's happy is too long

  Hello

  I am facing a strange behavior with Forms 10 g and NLS_LANG = UTF8.

  DB 11G withcharset in AL32UTF8 on Linux

  Forms 10G on Linux

  We are currently upgrading our DB 10 G DB 11 G + UTF8 form.

  After adaptation data DB 10G and 11G, we changed sementics BYTE in CHAR columns in DB 11 G.

  Migration worked well.

  Now we try to connect to our application in the form of 10G to the new DB 11 G + UTF8.

  First we were faced with the error ORA-01461 "can bind a long value only for insert in a long column".

  To resolve this error, we have clarified the NLS_LANG = american_america.utf8 in default.env.

  This problem is solved now.

  We have specified the following parameters when compiling:

  NLS_LANG = AMERICAN_AMERICA. UTF8

  Export NLS_LANG

  NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS = CHAR

  Export NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS

  The application works fine except a few ITEMs that display # when their content is too long.

  For example with a Varchar2 ELEMENT (5) length_semantics = NULL (if the compiler uses the NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS specified during compilation).

  -When I fill it with "xxxxx" it works very well.

  -When I fill it with "xxxxe", it displays "#". The ELEMENT behaves as in Excel when the cell data cannot be displayed as a whole.

  Any idea on how I can avoid this behavior?

  Thanks in advance.

  Tim.

  There is a bug in forms 10.1.2.3 for when the length of an element in BYTES is greater than the length of the CHAR data # are displayed.

  =>

  Length ('xxxxx') = lengthb ('xxxxx')

  but

  Length ('xxxxa')<>

  so you will get #.

  There is a single patch for this what number I do not remember. The patch is packaged in the latest available patch for forms #9593176 and #13095466 which will also give you the benefits of being able to run your forms 10 g with Java7 (even if she is not certified).
