Problem on character set when using DBMS_LOB.LOADFROMFILE API PACKAGE
485737Jul 12 2006 — edited Jul 12 2006Hi all,
We're running oracle 10.1.0.4.2 with nls_characterset AL32UTF8.
I've insert data from file which located on server into a table. After that,
I've try to retrieve the data with the "select * from table_name" command and
the ouput just display question marks like below:
select output from dlog_log;
OUTPUT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
here is the step i did:
create table dlog_log (output clob);
create or replace procedure load_data
AS
l_clob clob;
l_bfile bfile;
begin
insert into dlog_log (output) values
(empty_clob())
returning output into l_clob;
l_bfile := BFILENAME ('TEMP_DIR', 'export.log');
DBMS_LOB.FILEOPEN(l_bfile);
DBMS_LOB.LOADFROMFILE(l_clob, l_bfile, dbms_lob.getlength(l_bfile));
DBMS_LOB.FILECLOSE(l_bfile);
end;
exec load_data;
select * from v$nls_parameters;
