oracle字符集问题

阅读更多
影响oracle数据库字符集最重要的参数是NLS_LANG参数。它的格式如下:

  NLS_LANG = language_territory.charset

  它有三个组成部分(语言、地域和字符集),每个成分控制了NLS子集的特性。其中:

  Language 指定服务器消息的语言,territory 指定服务器的日期和数字格式,charset 指定字符集。如:AMERICAN _ AMERICA. ZHS16GBK

  从NLS_LANG的组成我们可以看出,真正影响数据库字符集的其实是第三部分。所以两个数据库之间的字符集只要第三部分一样就可以相互导入导出数据,前面影响的只是提示信息是中文还是英文。

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

如何查询Oracle的字符集

  很多人都碰到过因为字符集不同而使数据导入失败的情况。这涉及三方面的字符集,一是oracel server端的字符集,二是oracle client端的字符集;三是dmp文件的字符集。在做数据导入的时候,需要这三个字符集都一致才能正确导入。

 

1、查询oracle server端的字符集

  有很多种方法可以查出oracle server端的字符集,比较直观的查询方法是以下这种:SQL>select userenv(‘language’) from dual;

  结果类似如下:AMERICAN _ AMERICA. ZHS16GBK

2、如何查询dmp文件的字符集

  用oracle的exp工具导出的dmp文件也包含了字符集信息,dmp文件的第2和第3个字节记录了dmp文件的字符集。如果dmp文件不大,比如只有几M或几十M,可以用UltraEdit打开(16进制方式),看第2第3个字节的内容,如0354,然后用以下SQL查出它对应的字符集:

  SQL> select nls_charset_name(to_number('0354','xxxx')) from dual;

  ZHS16GBK

  如果dmp文件很大,比如有2G以上(这也是最常见的情况),用文本编辑器打开很慢或者完全打不开,可以用以下命令(在unix主机上):

  cat exp.dmp |od -x|head -1|awk '{print $2 $3}'|cut -c 3-6

  然后用上述SQL也可以得到它对应的字符集。

3、查询oracle client端的字符集

  这个比较简单。在windows平台下,就是注册表里面相应OracleHome的NLS_LANG。还可以在dos窗口里面自己设置,比如:

  set nls_lang=AMERICAN_AMERICA.ZHS16GBK

  这样就只影响这个窗口里面的环境变量。

  在unix平台下,就是环境变量NLS_LANG。

  $echo $NLS_LANG

  AMERICAN_AMERICA.ZHS16GBK

  如果检查的结果发现server端与client端字符集不一致,请统一修改为同server端相同的字符集。

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

三、修改oracle的字符集

  上文说过,oracle的字符集有互相的包容关系。如us7ascii就是zhs16gbk的子集,从us7ascii到zhs16gbk不会有数据解释上的问题,不会有数据丢失。在所有的字符集中utf8应该是最大,因为它基于unicode,双字节保存字符(也因此在存储空间上占用更多)。

  一旦数据库创建后,数据库的字符集理论上讲是不能改变的。因此,在设计和安装之初考虑使用哪一种字符集十分重要。根据Oracle的官方说明,字符集的转换是从子集到超集受支持,反之不行。如果两种字符集之间根本没有子集和超集的关系,那么字符集的转换是不受oracle支持的。对数据库server而言,错误的修改字符集将会导致很多不可测的后果,可能会严重影响数据库的正常运行,所以在修改之前一定要确认两种字符集是否存在子集和超集的关系。一般来说,除非万不得已,我们不建议修改oracle数据库server端的字符集。特别说明,我们最常用的两种字符集ZHS16GBK和ZHS16CGB231280之间不存在子集和超集关系,因此理论上讲这两种字符集之间的相互转换不受支持。

  1、修改server端字符集(不建议使用)

  在oracle 8之前,可以用直接修改数据字典表props$来改变数据库的字符集。但oracle8之后,至少有三张系统表记录了数据库字符集的信息,只改props$表并不完全,可能引起严重的后果。正确的修改方法如下:

  $sqlplus /nolog

  SQL>conn / as sysdba;

  若此时数据库服务器已启动,则先执行SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE命令关闭数据库服务器,然后执行以下命令:

  SQL>STARTUP MOUNT;

  SQL>ALTER SYSTEM ENABLE RESTRICTED SESSION;

  SQL>ALTER SYSTEM SET JOB_QUEUE_PROCESSES=0;

  SQL>ALTER SYSTEM SET AQ_TM_PROCESSES=0;

  SQL>ALTER DATABASE OPEN;

  SQL>ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET ZHS16GBK;

  SQL>ALTER DATABASE national CHARACTER SET ZHS16GBK;

  SQL>SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;

  SQL>STARTUP

  2、修改dmp文件字符集

  上文说过,dmp文件的第2第3字节记录了字符集信息,因此直接修改dmp文件的第2第3字节的内容就可以‘骗’过oracle的检查。这样做理论上也仅是从子集到超集可以修改,但很多情况下在没有子集和超集关系的情况下也可以修改,我们常用的一些字符集,如US7ASCII,WE8ISO8859P1,ZHS16CGB231280,ZHS16GBK基本都可以改。因为改的只是dmp文件,所以影响不大。

  具体的修改方法比较多,最简单的就是直接用UltraEdit修改dmp文件的第2和第3个字节。比如想将dmp文件的字符集改为ZHS16GBK,可以用以下SQL查出该种字符集对应的16进制代码:

  SQL> select to_char(nls_charset_id('ZHS16GBK'), 'xxxx') from dual;

  0354

  然后将dmp文件的2、3字节修改为0354即可。

  如果dmp文件很大,用ue无法打开,就需要用程序的方法了。网上有人用java存储过程写了转换的程序(用java存储过程的好处是通用性教好,缺点是比较麻烦)。我在windows下测试通过。但要求oracle数据库一定要安装JVM选项。有兴趣的朋友可以研究一下程序代码----------------------------------------

 

Character Encoding Schemes

Single-Byte 7-Bit Encoding Schemes

Single-byte 7-bit encoding schemes can define up to 128 characters, and normally support just one language. The only characters defined in 7-bit ASCII are the 26 Latin alphabetic characters. Various other 7-bit schemes are used where certain characters (normally punctuation) in 7-bit ASCII are replaced with additional alphanumeric characters required for a specific language.

 

Single-Byte 8-Bit Encoding Schemes

Single-byte 8-bit encoding schemes can define up to 256 characters, and normally support a group of languages. For example, ISO 8859/1 supports many West European languages.

 

Multi-Byte Encoding Schemes

Multi-byte encoding schemes are needed for Asian languages because these languages use thousands of characters. A double-byte encoding scheme can support up to 65536 characters. Some multi-byte encoding schemes use the value of the most significant bit to indicate if a byte represents a single-byte character or is the first or second byte of a double-byte character. In other schemes, control codes differentiate single-byte from double-byte characters. A shift-out code indicates that the following bytes are double-byte characters until a shift-in code is encountered.

There are two general groups of encoding schemes, those based on 7-bit ASCII and those based on IBM EBCDIC. Within each group, all schemes normally use the same encoding for the 26 Latin characters (A to Z), but use different encoding for other characters used in languages other than English. ASCII and EBCDIC use different encodings, even for the Latin characters.

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

Specifying Language-Dependent Behavior

This section discusses the parameters that specify language-dependent operation. You can set language-dependent behavior defaults for the server and set language dependent behavior for the client that overrides these defaults.

Most NLS parameters can be used in three ways

 

  • As initialization parameters to specify language-dependent behavior defaults for the server.
    For example, in your INIT.ORA file, include
		NLS_TERRITORY = FRANCE

 

  • As environment variables on client machines to specify language-dependant behavior defaults for a session. These defaults override the defaults set for the server.
    For example, on a UNIX system
		setenv NLS_TERRITORY FRANCE

 

  • As ALTER SESSION parameters to change the language-dependent behavior of a session. These parameters override the defaults set for the session or for the server.
    For example:
		ALTER SESSION SET NLS_TERRITORY = FRANCE
 
 
 

NLS Parameters

The NLS_LANGUAGE and NLS_TERRITORY parameters implicitly specify several aspects of language-dependent operation. Additional NLS parameters provide explicit control over these operations. The parameters listed below can be specified in the initialization file, or they can also be specified for each session with the ALTER SESSION command.

 

Parameter Description
NLS_CALENDAR Calendar system
NLS_CURRENCY Local currency symbol
NLS_DATE_FORMAT Default date format
NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE Default language for dates
NLS_ISO_CURRENCY ISO international currency symbol
NLS_LANGUAGE Default language
NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS Decimal character and group separator
NLS_SORT Character sort sequence
NLS_SPECIAL_CHARS  
NLS_TERRITORY Default territory
For a complete description of ALTER SESSION, see Oracle7 Server SQL Reference.

 

NLS_CALENDAR

Many different calendar systems are in use throughout the world. NLS_CALENDAR specifies which calendar system Oracle uses.

NLS_CALENDAR can have one of the following values:

 

  • Arabic Hijrah
  • Gregorian
  • Japanese Imperial
  • Persian
  • ROC Official
  • Thai Buddha

For example, if NLS_CALENDAR is set to "Japanese Imperial", the date format is "YY-MM-DD", and the date is February 17, 1907, then the sysdate is displayed as follows:

 

SELECT SYSDATE FROM DUAL;
SYSDATE
--------
07-02-17 
 

NLS_CURRENCY

This parameter specifies the character string returned by the number format mask L, the local currency symbol, overriding that defined implicitly by NLS_TERRITORY. For example, to set the local currency symbol to "Dfl" (including a space), the parameter should be set as follows:

 

NLS_CURRENCY = "Dfl "

In this case, the query

 

SELECT TO_CHAR(TOTAL, 'L099G999D99') "TOTAL"
   FROM ORDERS WHERE CUSTNO = 586

would return

 

TOTAL
-------------
Dfl 12.673,49

You can alter the default value of NLS_CURRENCY by changing its value in the initialization file and then restarting the instance, and you can alter its value during a session using an ALTER SESSION SET NLS_CURRENCY command.

For a complete description of ALTER SESSION, see Oracle7 Server SQL Reference.

 

NLS_DATE_FORMAT

Defines the default date format to use with the TO_CHAR and TO_DATE functions. The default value of this parameter is determined by NLS_TERRITORY. The value of this parameter can be any valid date format mask, and the value must be surrounded by double quotes. For example:

 

NLS_DATE_FORMAT = "MM/DD/YYYY"

As another example, to set the default date format to display Roman numerals for months, you would include the following line in your initialization file:

 

NLS_DATE_FORMAT = "DD RM YY"

With such a default date format, the following SELECT statement would return the month using Roman numerals (assuming today's date is February 13, 1991):

 

SELECT TO_CHAR(SYSDATE) CURRDATE
   FROM DUAL;
CURRDATE
---------
13 II 91

The value of this parameter is stored in the tokenized internal date format. Each format element occupies two bytes, and each string occupies the number of bytes in the string plus a terminator byte. Also, the entire format mask has a two-byte terminator. For example, "MM/DD/YY" occupies 12 bytes internally because there are three format elements, two one-byte strings (the two slashes), and the two-byte terminator for the format mask. The tokenized format for the value of this parameter cannot exceed 24 bytes.

Note: The applications you design may need to allow for a variable-length default date format. Also, the parameter value must be surrounded by double quotes: single quotes are interpreted as part of the format mask.

You can alter the default value of NLS_DATE_FORMAT by changing its value in the initialization file and then restarting the instance, and you can alter the value during a session using an ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT command.

For a complete description of ALTER SESSION, see Oracle7 Server SQL Reference.

 

NLS_DATE_ LANGUAGE

This parameter specifies the language for the spelling of day and month names by the functions TO_CHAR and TO_DATE, overriding that specified implicitly by NLS_LANGUAGE. NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE has the same syntax as the NLS_LANGUAGE parameter, and all supported languages are valid values. For example, to specify the date language as French, the parameter should be set as follows:

 

NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE = FRENCH

In this case, the query

 

SELECT TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'Day:Dd Month yyyy')
   FROM DUAL;

would return

 

Mercredi:13 Février 1991

Month and day name abbreviations are also in the language specified, for example:

 

Me:13 Fév 1991

The default date format also uses the language-specific month name abbreviations. For example, if the default date format is DD-MON-YYYY, the above date would be inserted using:

 

INSERT INTO tablename VALUES ('13-Fév-1991');

The abbreviations for AM, PM, AD, and BC are also returned in the language specified by NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE. Note that numbers spelled using the TO_CHAR function always use English spellings; for example:

 

SELECT TO_CHAR(TO_DATE('27-Fév-91'),'Day: ddspth Month')
   FROM DUAL;

would return:

 

Mercredi: twenty-seventh Février

You can alter the default value of NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE by changing its value in the initialization file and then restarting the instance, and you can alter the value during a session using an ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE command.

For a complete description of ALTER SESSION, see Oracle7 Server SQL Reference.

 

NLS_ISO_CURRENCY

This parameter specifies the character string returned by the number format mask C, the ISO currency symbol, overriding that defined implicitly by NLS_TERRITORY.

Local currency symbols can be ambiguous; for example, a dollar sign ($) can refer to US dollars or Australian dollars. ISO Specification 4217 1987-07-15 defines unique "international" currency symbols for the currencies of specific territories (or countries).

For example, the ISO currency symbol for the US Dollar is USD, for the Australian Dollar AUD. To specify the ISO currency symbol, the corresponding territory name is used.

NLS_ISO_CURRENCY has the same syntax as the NLS_TERRITORY parameter, and all supported territories are valid values. For example, to specify the ISO currency symbol for France, the parameter should be set as follows:

 

NLS_ISO_CURRENCY = FRANCE

In this case, the query

 

SELECT TO_CHAR(TOTAL, 'C099G999D99') "TOTAL"
   FROM ORDERS WHERE CUSTNO = 586

would return

 

TOTAL
-------------
 FRF12.673,49

You can alter the default value of NLS_ISO_CURRENCY by changing its value in the initialization file and then restarting the instance, and you can alter its value during a session using an ALTER SESSION SET NLS_ISO_CURRENCY command.

For a complete description of ALTER SESSION, see Oracle7 Server SQL Reference.

 

NLS_NUMERIC_ CHARACTERS

This parameter specifies the decimal character and grouping separator, overriding those defined implicitly by NLS_TERRITORY. The decimal character separates the integer and decimal parts of a number. The grouping separator is the character returned by the number format mask G. For example, to set the decimal character to a comma and the grouping separator to a period, the parameter should be set as follows:

 

NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS = ",."

Both characters are single byte and must be different. Either can be a space.

Note: When the decimal character is not a period (.) or when a group separator is used, numbers appearing in SQL statements must be enclosed in quotes. For example:

 

        INSERT INTO SIZES (ITEMID, WIDTH, QUANTITY)
          VALUES (618, '45,5', TO_NUMBER('1.234','9G999'));

You can alter the default value of NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS by changing its value in the initialization file and then restarting the instance, and you can alter its value during a session using an ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE command.

For a complete description of ALTER SESSION, see Oracle7 Server SQL Reference.

 

NLS_SORT

This parameter specifies the type of sort for character data, overriding that defined implicitly by NLS_LANGUAGE. 

The syntax of NLS_SORT is:

 

NLS_SORT = { BINARY | name }

BINARY specifies a binary sort and name specifies a particular linguistic sort sequence. For example, to specify the linguistic sort sequence called German, the parameter should be set as follows:

 

NLS_SORT = German

The name given to a linguistic sort sequence has no direct connection to language names. Usually, however, each supported language will have an appropriate linguistic sort sequence defined that uses the same name.

Note: Setting the NLS_SORT initialization parameter to BINARY causes a sort to use a full table scan, regardless of the path the optimizer chooses.

You can alter the default value of NLS_SORT by changing its value in the initialization file and then restarting the instance, and you can alter its value during a session using an ALTER SESSION SET NLS_SORT command.

For a complete description of ALTER SESSION, see Oracle7 Server SQL Reference.

A complete list of linguistic definitions is provided in the "Linguistic Definitions" table [*].

摘要至itpub

AL16UTF16 和 UTF8 这两种选择都适用于国家字符集
AL16UFT16 是宽度固定的双字节 Unicode 字符集

UTF8 是宽度可变的、一至三个字节的 Unicode 字符集
欧洲字符在 UTF8 中按一至两个字节存储,而在 AL16UTF16 中按两个字节存储,相比之下,UTF8可以节省空间
亚洲字符在 UTF8 中按三个字节存储,这样,所需的空间比在 AL16UTF16 中要多

AL16UTF16 是宽度固定的编码,因此在执行速度上要比宽度可变的 UTF8 快

 

翻译的一段:  
   
  字符集类型  
   
          CREATE   DATABASE语句中有CHARACTER   SET从句和附加的NATIONAL   CHARACTER   SET从句用来定义  
  数据库的字符集和国家字符集。这两个字符集在数据库创建之后都无法修改。如果不指明NATIONAL  
  CHARACTER   SET从句,则国家字符集缺省取数据库字符集。  
          因为数据库字符集用于标识并装载SQL和PL/SQL源代码,所以数据库字符集必须将EBCDIC或7位ASCII  
  作为子集。因此,固定宽度,多字节字符集不可能作为数据库字符集,而只能作为国家字符集。数据类型  
  NCHAR,NVARCHAR2和NCLOB是基本数据类型CHAR,VARCHAR2和BLOB的变体,来指明它们用国家字符集而  
  不是数据库字符集存储数据。  
   
        NCHAR用于使用国家字符集定义固定长度的字符项。  
        NVARCHAR2用于使用国家字符集定义变长度的字符项。  
        NCLOB用于使用国家字符集定义字符大对象,来保存固定宽度,多字节字符。  
   
        数据库字符集存储变宽度字符,国家字符集存储固定宽度和变宽度多字节字符。

 

 

原文  
   
  Character   Set   Types  
  The   CREATE   DATABASE   statement   has   the   CHARACTER   SET   clause   and   the  
  additional   optional   clause   NATIONAL   CHARACTER   SET   to   declare   the   character   set  
  to   be   used   as   the   database   character   set   and   the   national   character   set.   Neither  
  character   set   can   be   changed   after   creating   the   database.   If   no   NATIONAL  
  CHARACTER   SET   clause   is   present,   the   national   character   set   defaults   to   the  
  database   character   set.  
  Because   the   database   character   set   is   used   to   identify   and   to   hold   SQL   and   PL/SQL  
  source   code,   it   must   have   either   EBCDIC   or   7-bit   ASCII   as   a   subset,   whichever   is  
  native   to   the   platform.   Therefore,   it   is   not   possible   to   use   a   fixed-width,   multibyte  
  character   set   as   the   database   character   set,   only   as   the   national   character   set.  
  The   data   types   NCHAR,   NVARCHAR2,   and   NCLOB   are   provided   to   declare   columns  
  as   variants   of   the   basic   types   CHAR,   VARCHAR2,   and   CLOB,   to   note   that   they   are  
  stored   using   the   national   character   set   and   not   the   database   character   set.  
  •   To   declare   a   fixed-length   character   item   that   uses   the   national   character   set,   use   the  
  data   type   specification   NCHAR   [(size)].  
  •   To   declare   a   variable-length   character   item   that   uses   the   national   character   set,   use  
  the   data   type   specification   NVARCHAR2   (size).  
  •   To   declare   a   character   large   object   (CLOB)   item   containing   fixed-width,   multibyte  
  characters   that   uses   the   national   character   set,   use   the   data   type   specification  
  NCLOB   (size).

 

效率
  从上述编码原理中得出的结论是:
  1.每个英文字母、数字所占的空间为1 Byte;
  2.泛欧语系、斯拉夫语字母占2 Bytes;
  3.汉字占3 Bytes。
  由此可见UTF8对英文来说是个非常诱人的方案,但对中文来说则不太合算,无论用ANSI还是 Unicode/UCS2来编码都只用2 Bytes,但用UTF8则需要3 Bytes。
  以下是一些统计资料,显示用UTF8来储存文件每个字符所需的平均字节:
  1.拉丁语系平均用1.1 Bytes;
  2.希腊文、俄文、阿拉伯文和希伯莱文平均用1.7 Bytes;
  3.其他大部份文字如中文、日文、韩文、Hindi(北印度语)用约3 Bytes;
  4.用超过4 Bytes的都是些非常少用的文字符号。
