SQL into UNIX\Oracle - European Characters
Hi All! I'm new to Unix\Oracle but have been working with MS SQL Server for 8 years. I'm in the process of migrating data from MS to Oracle and have hit a problem.
Some of the information I'm porting over has the following characters in it: ü and Ö to show a few. I'm able to export them out of MS SQL Server without any issues but on the FTP over to the UNIX server they are displayed (using vi to look at it) as so respectively: \37 and \326. If I use SQL Loader and import the file into Oracle, all of those european type letters then show up in Oracle as upside down ? (question marks).
I'm guessing that it might have something to do with the way UNIX is configured, or the way FTP is handling the copy process (tried both ascii and binary file transfers and either worked) but I'm not sure what or where to look? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks for your help in advance.

sql::translator::parser::dbi
SQL::Translator::Parser::DBI(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation SQL::Translator::Parser::DBI(3pm)
NAME
SQL::Translator::Parser::DBI - "parser" for DBI handles
SYNOPSIS
use DBI;
use SQL::Translator;
my $dbh = DBI->connect('dsn', 'user', 'pass',
{
RaiseError => 1,
FetchHashKeyName => 'NAME_lc',
}
);
my $translator = SQL::Translator->new(
parser => 'DBI',
dbh => $dbh,
);
Or:
use SQL::Translator;
my $translator = SQL::Translator->new(
parser => 'DBI',
parser_args => {
dsn => 'dbi:mysql:FOO',
db_user => 'guest',
db_password => 'password',
}
);
DESCRIPTION
This parser accepts an open database handle (or the arguments to create one) and queries the database directly for the information.
The following are acceptable arguments:
o dbh
An open DBI database handle. NB: Be sure to create the database with the "FetchHashKeyName => 'NAME_lc'" option as all the DBI
parsers expect lowercased column names.
o dsn
The DSN to use for connecting to a database.
o db_user
The user name to use for connecting to a database.
o db_password
The password to use for connecting to a database.
There is no need to specify which type of database you are querying as this is determined automatically by inspecting
$dbh->{'Driver'}{'Name'}. If a parser exists for your database, it will be used automatically; if not, the code will fail automatically
(and you can write the parser and contribute it to the project!).
Currently parsers exist for the following databases:
o MySQL
o SQLite
o Sybase
o PostgreSQL (still experimental)
Most of these parsers are able to query the database directly for the structure rather than parsing a text file. For large schemas, this
is probably orders of magnitude faster than traditional parsing (which uses Parse::RecDescent, an amazing module but really quite slow).
Though no Oracle parser currently exists, it would be fairly easy to query an Oracle database directly by using DDL::Oracle to generate a
DDL for the schema and then using the normal Oracle parser on this. Perhaps future versions of SQL::Translator will include the ability to
query Oracle directly and skip the parsing of a text file, too.
