What character set?

Hi all

I install a new 11g.
The set of characters that is safe to use? or more complete? WE8MSWIN1252 or UTF8?


Thank you very much.

Choice of database character set depends on the needs of the application: need applications that will use the database to store data in Russian, Japanese, Chinese, etc.? If you are unsure, the safest choice is AL32UTF8 because it is designed to store all major languages.

Read it please choose a character set of Oracle database in http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10729/ch2charset.htm#NLSPG171

  • Changing database character set

    Hi master,

    I use oracle database XE on windows XP platform. This is just a test database. I need to import a schema into the database of the XE. but the problem is the character set conversion.

    According to the oracle documentation, I tried to change the character set, but it is not worked.it says that ORA-12712: new character set must be a superset of the old character set. It is said

    Export file created by EXPORT: V10.02.01 by conventional means
    CAUTION: objects have been exported by < user >, not by you
    import in WE8MSWIN1252 and AL16UTF16 NCHAR character set
    import server uses the AL32UTF8 (possible character set conversion) character set

    I have the same import NCHAR character set was made, but when I try to change the character above error is generated.

    When I tried to change the character set it gives the above error.

    What should I do?

    Thanks and greetings

    Please provide the details, how you tried to change the character set database and what character set.

    As indicated in MetaLink Note 260192.1 ("Changing WE8ISO8859P1 / WE8ISO8859P15 or WE8MSWIN1252 (AL32) UTF8'"), AL32UTF8 is not a binary superset of these character sets and therefore conversion includes import/export steps in case you have non-US7ASCII character data in your database.

    The MetaLink note explains how to make the change in detail, but I do not know if it is supported for 10g XE.

    If you can afford it, the easiest way is probably to create/install a new database 10g XE by using the Unicode character database, I think that option when installing 10 g XE.

  • Sometimes, the Firefox doesn't recognize a character set

    Firefox can not decode some English text characters or symbols and instead of characters appear a kind of codes. Just like you would surf the Chinese website without the Chinese character set.

    Like this here

    Why is it so in Firefox? I've never seen what happens in Internet Explorer.

    Pages that use Unicode (UTF-8) format display a small box with the hex code if the character cannot be displayed.
    Which allows you to search the character in a table.

    If you see such a box with hexadecimal code in it, then it means that Firefox cannot map a character to a specific font, and you will need to install a font that covers the affected characters.

    In your case you are missing fonts and font support if it occurs on sites that use the IDEOGRAM.

    You will see something similar on Windows XP if you visit pages that use complex scripts (e.g. hindi and Arabic).

    Windows XP account very basic language support installed by default.

    There are many languages in the world and there are still languages that may require special fonts.

    You probably can't read, so it's your choice if you want to install a font for these pages or just accept the small squares with the hex code.

  • Character set for the words

    Hello

    Does anyone know what charset LPX uses for the words when you export a project at noon?

    I have set in Hungarian language of OS X. The correct character set for the Hungarians should be ISO-8859-2 (Latin 2), yet when I export a logical project that uses these words at noon, the external drive is not displayed correctly the

    That is to say. o is displayed as Ăł or similar, any set of characters I use in other software

  • Character set OCR

    Greetings,

    I am very new to machine vision, I am creating a number plate recognition system, I trained each character set in the license plate in the formation of OCR and when im opening each individual character image, sound successfully converts it to a string, but to an entire image (of the plate) its does not (I'm '?') I tried using KING for selection of specific areas but does not work... I don't know what seems to be the problem please help.

    You must connect the region of interest to the vi IMAQ OCR read text 3.

    The following example shows how to use the screw of OCR:

    C:\Program NIUninstaller Instruments\LabVIEW\examples\Vision\2. Functions\OCR\OCR first Example.llb\OCR first Example.vi.

    With this example, you can even load your character set file and try on your images.

    I hope this helps.

  • Character set for message conflict

    I am running Win XP Pro w/SP3 and IE7 and OE6 support. When you try to send the entire copy & pasted text of a long article in the NY Times, I get the "conflict message character set" window which offers three choices, send as, Send as Unicode, or cancel (and reissue). It is the first time that I've ever known this error message when sending by e-mail of this kind. Although I sent the message twice, once for each of the two formatting options, none of my many recipients received the message. Since there is clearly no Western European NON-ISO or character sets Windows in the body of my email, what other reasons might be incited the error message? I even tried to copy the text into Notepad, and then copy and paste in OE6 nothing is helping.

    The problem seems to have resolved itself and without apparent reason.

  • "testing" a new character set

    11.2

    We have two environments. CHOOSE the value OF V$ NLS_Parameters WHERE parameter = "NLS_CHARACTERSET"; Returns WE8ISO8859P1 AL32UTF8 and one in the other. Asked me to 'test' the support for multibyte characters and see what we need to do.

    I don't know how to approach the issue. So I went to the basics of loading of SQL * Plus and execute: SELECT 'Ä' FROM Dual;

    In WE8ISO8859P1 result:

    '

    -

    ?

    In AL32UTF8:

    '?'

    ---

    ?

    The only difference seems to be the display of single quotes in the header.

    What should I configure SQL * more? Is there a 'simple test' to show the difference between the two environments?

    Your task is not well defined. You cannot 'test data' unless you want to repeat that all the thousands of tests run by Oracle to test its product :-)  You can test some features in the database, but more often, you want to test a business with the database application.

    Certainly, an AL32UTF8 database can store data in any language supported by Unicode. You don't have to test this possibility. Thousands of databases with this character set and store data from around the world. However, AL32UTF8 is a multibyte character set. In other words, you need to store a lot of characters may have different codes of those in a database of the WE8ISO8859P1 and these codes can have more than one byte. Depending on how the columns of the table are defined, lengths of scope are defined, the application is configured, etc, you may or may not notice problems. As you can see, you need test a particular application to useful tests.

    If you want to just test the entry of accented Latin characters of languages of Western Europe on an American or a Western European version of Windows, then:

    -Open Command Prompt

    -Run:

    C:\ > chcp

    Should display:

    Active code page: 437 (or 850)

    If you see 437, enter:

    C:\ > set NLS_LANG =. US8PC437

    If you see 850, enter:

    C:\ > set NLS_LANG =. WE8PC850

    Then, run SQL * more (in the same window from command line!):

    C:\ > sqlplus...

    You should be able to enter Western European characters in the WE8ISO8859P1 database and the AL32UTF8 database with this configuration. Note, WE8ISO8859P1 can't stand not all characters available under Windows. For example, it does not support the Euro character.

    However, I recommend Oracle SQL Developer to test the characters entry in a database. It requires no any configuration for most popular languages. Configuration of fonts in the JDK can prevail for lesser-used languages.

    Thank you

  • Chinese character set showing always with "?" in a query

    I installed an oracle database to my Win7 laptop.

    Currently, my oracle database has information below:

    Select tab1.aa |' _'. Tab2. BB |'. ' || tab3.cc of

    (select VALUE$ aa in sys.props$ where name = "NLS_LANGUAGE") tab1.

    (select VALUE$ bb in sys.props$ where name = 'NLS_ISO_CURRENCY') tab2.

    (select VALUE$ cc in sys.props$ where name = "NLS_CHARACTERSET") tab 3.

    It returns "AMERICAN_AMERICA. WE8MSWIN1252.

    My Win7 is an English version. Not just any what installed Chinese charset.

    I can access registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE--> SOFTWARE--> ORACLE--> page HOME of NLS_LANG = AMERICAN_AMERICA. WE8MSWIN1252

    I create a table and insert some Chinese to its columns. But I still have "?" to those columns after the query.

    I tried with an internet solution.

    I put my Win7 as environment variables below:

    LANG = zh_CN. GBK
    NLS_LANG = SIMPLIFIED CHINESE_CHINA. ZHS16GBK

    But these solutions are not effective.

    So who can help out me?

    1. what should I do to the Oracle Server?

    2. what happens if I have to do to Win7?

    3. or I still need to do more?

    Hello

    WE8MSWIN1252 charset does not support the Chinese language so it won't work, you will need to convert DB charset to a character set that supports the Chinese please review:

    What character does support the value which language (Doc ID 62421.1)

    Nordine salvation,

    I suggest you to refer the link: "How do I convert the character set for Oracle R12.1.1 running on 11.0.6 database Oracle US7ASCII' as it is very relevant to you."

    Response to your previous post would be:

    S ' stick to a plan

    -Try all of the activity on the TEST server for yourself

    -Troubleshoot and debug all the question from A - Z

    -On the successful implementation, make a backup of the Production and move the solution to PROD.

    If possible, run a lot of questions while doing the character set migration oracle applications, database because it contains the application tables.

    I accept the fact that EBS database is complicated to a database independent, but still all the features and debugging tools and troubleshooting is the same, although it is autonomous or EBS database.

    We should do if we stuck to the top in with and truncate in the application according to the CSSCAN results tables,.

    little tables when we checked in Metalink he says to avoid these tables which do not affect the database or application.

    Try in a Test Server, the above link helps you on the issue. You can find answer to some tables with loss in metalink if it's a bug, just lift a SRt solve your problem.

    What we must do if we are in important application tables, export and import will help in this issue.

    No, if we have available data with loss, then we cannot use the Import/Export and we will have to use CSALTER instead.

    is this the right method or must contact oracle support for assistance on important application tables.

    YES, I personally recommend you try and paralleling have ongoing Oracle support. So that you will have a guide from A to Z, in the case you're wrong

    Hope this helps
