oracle修改字符集

select userenv('language') from dual    SIMPLIFIED CHINESE_CHINA.ZHS16GBK    AMERICAN_CHINA.ZHS16CGB231280    182
                                        SIMPLIFIED CHINESE_CHINA.ZHS16GBK    AMERICAN_AMERICA.ZHS16CGB231280  106


在Redhat上安装Oracle10g没有设定字符集，采用的是操作系统默认字符集：US7ASCII，将字符集修改为：ZHS16GBK。由于过程不可逆，首先需要备份数据库。
1.数据库全备

2.查询当前字符集
SQL> select * from nls_database_parameters where parameter='NLS_CHARACTERSET';
PARAMETER                                VALUE
---------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------
NLS_CHARACTERSET                         US7ASCII

3.关闭数据库
SQL> shutdown immediate
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.

4.启动数据库到mount状态
SQL> startup mount
ORACLE instance started.
Total System Global Area  205520896 bytes
Fixed Size                  1266608 bytes
Variable Size             100666448 bytes
Database Buffers          100663296 bytes
Redo Buffers                2924544 bytes
Database mounted.

5.限制session
SQL> alter system enable restricted session;
System altered.

6.查询相关参数并修改
SQL> show parameter job_queue_processes; 
NAME                                 TYPE        VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
job_queue_processes                  integer     10

SQL> show parameter aq_tm_processes;
NAME                                 TYPE        VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
aq_tm_processes                      integer     0

SQL> alter system set job_queue_processes=0;
System altered.

7.打开数据库
SQL> alter database open;
Database altered.

8.修改字符集
SQL> alter database character set ZHS16GBK;
alter database character set ZHS16GBK
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-12712: new character set must be a superset of old character set

出现错误提示，新字符集必须是老字符集的超集，也就原来字符集是新字符集的子集，可以再Oracle官方文档上查询字符集包含关系。下面使用Oracle内部命令internal_use，跳过超集检查，生产环境不建议使用此方法。

SQL> alter database character set internal_use ZHS16GBK;         
Database altered.

9.查询当前字符集
SQL> select * from nls_database_parameters where parameter='NLS_CHARACTERSET';
PARAMETER                                VALUE
---------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------
NLS_CHARACTERSET                         ZHS16GBK

10.关闭数据库
SQL> shutdown immediate
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.

11.启动数据库到mount状态
SQL> startup mount
ORACLE instance started.
Total System Global Area  205520896 bytes
Fixed Size                  1266608 bytes
Variable Size             100666448 bytes
Database Buffers          100663296 bytes
Redo Buffers                2924544 bytes
Database mounted.

12.将相关参数改回原来值
SQL> alter system set job_queue_processes=10;
System altered.
13.SQL> ALTER SYSTEM DISABLE RESTRICTED SESSION;
System altered.

14.打开数据库
SQL> alter database open;
Database altered.
