My database(Oracle 10g) characterset is set to ISO-8859-6(AR8ISO8859P6) to store arabic characters.
When I query the database, JDBC Converts the data from the database character set to Unicode.
Because of this unicode conversion some of the characters are lost(translated to ?)
same behavior for both oci and thin..
In JAVA Is there any solution to retrieve the data in database format(without doing any unicode conversion)?
Is there any driver available retrieve the data from oracle in database format( encoding)?
Thanks
I doubt that any conversion TO Unicode can fail. But a conversion FROM Unicode to something else might fail. This can be the case when storing back the data or - most likely - on output to some terminal or UI.
If that's not the case: Can you give us some examples for each step?

I have an agent written in Lotuscript (IBM Domino 9.0.1 - Windows 10) that reads records into a DB2 database and writes them to Notes documents. The table in DB2 (Centos OS) contains international names in Varchar fields such as "Łódź".
The DB2 database was created as UTF-8 CodePage: 1208 and Domino by its nature supports UNICODE. Unfortunately, the value loaded in the notes document is not "Łódź" as it should be but it is "? Ód?".
How can I import special characters from DB2
in Domino NSF DBs in correct ways?
Thank you
To import the table I used the following code taken from OpenNtfs XSnippets:
https://openntf.org/XSnippets.nsf/snippet.xsp?id=db2-run-from-lotusscript-into-notes-form
Find where the codepage conversion is happening. Alter the lotusscript to dump the hex of the received data for the column-concerned to a file or in a dialog-box. If the hex codes differ from what is in the column, then it may be your Db2-client that is using the wrong codepage. Are you aware of the DB2CODEPAGE environment variable for Windows? That might help if it is the Db2-client that is doing the codepage conversion.
i.e setting environment variable DB2CODEPAGE=1208 may help, although careful testing is required to ensure it does not cause other symptoms that are mentioned online.
Try to read the chinese text but did not succeed.
I have used Npgsql as a Provider and npgqsl.dll as dll
I have used ADO.NET NpgsqlConnection,NpgsqlCommand,NpgsqlDataReader and NpgsqlDataAdapter class objects.
I want to read the chinese text which is stored in table of postgreSQL database.
Anyone help me.
If your database has encoding SQL_ASCII, you are lost.
Other that that, set the connection string parameter Client Encoding to the value your .NET application expects.
I am loading data into QlikView report from different sources, one of them is Sybase db. Seems like Sybase db is using ISO 8859-1 encoding, but there are also Russian characters there, and QlikView just don't display them properly.
I don't see the way to manually define encoding in Qlikview. Is there any?
I tried to specify cyrillic charset in ODBC settings, but it also doesn't help. Funny thing is ASE isql (tool to run queries on Sybase) there is no issue with encoding. Can I specify encoding when select stuff in Sybase?
Sounds like a charset conversion issue. My guess is that your isql has a charset conversion option enabled, but your qlikview session has not.
*How can I confirm that Chinese characters are supported by my oracle database ?*
See this answer to understand how to retrieve current NLS parameters. The full list of possible character sets. I presume that to support chinese database should have either AL32UTF8, or some appropriate national character set from the list above.
We have a web service (closed source) that accesses an Oracle 11g database. It was recently upgraded from 10g to 11g. It returns records, one of the columns being an NCLOB type. The string sent to the webservice may contain Windows NewLines, \r\n. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what, if anything the web service was doing to manipulate the data sent/received from the DB.
In 10g, the string returned from the NCLOB column was Big Endian Unicode, and all '\r' were dropped, so new lines would return as a \n.
In 11g, the string returned from the NCLOB is ASCII encoded, and all '\r' were replaced with '\n', so new lines return as \n\n.
Does this seem reasonable? Honestly, we've been handling Oracle newline issues for a while (the behavior of 10g), and I'm pretty sure that this is a result of upgrading to 11g. Does anyone have information on differences between 10g and 11g, related to newline or escape character sequence storage or the NCLOB datatype? I'm trying to do damage control here and point the finger at Oracle 11g, but need some evidence.
How this is interpreted on the client depends on the client nls settings. You need to check if your client nls settings changed. Especially check the setting of the NLS_LANG environment variable. This needs to be set on a user basis. In windows this might be set in the registry.
