I am using ORACLE APEX 5.0.1
I am passing an url string to an APEX application where I have encoded all special caracters, if there is one or more %3A (colon) in the url APEX seemes to truncate the value I am passing.
This affects only the last variable I am passing and only the remaining part after the last %3A, but if I place a %3A at the very end of the url it works in APEX.
I have asked about this in other forums and it seems to be a relative unknown issue in APEX, haven't got any relevant answer that explains the issue.
This example pass values to tre fields
"...../apex/f?p=118:32:::::P32_XX,P32_YY,P32_ZZ,:100030,486,VMKF%3AU%202012%3A50"
P32_XX, and P32_YY get the value ok
P32_ZZ only get the value "VMKF:U 2012"
but if I put a %3A at the end of the url like this
"...../apex/f?p=118:32:::::P32_XX,P32_YY,P32_ZZ,:100030,486,VMKF%3AU%202012%3A50%3A"
it works ok and P32_ZZ gets the value "VMKF:U 2012:50".
I have tested this in Windows Explorer 11, Google Crom and Mozilla Firefox (latest version) with the same behavior.
And I have the same behaviour if I use a literal colon (:)
Appreciate the help
The issue is that the colon is a separator for the different parts of the APEX URL. I am surprised that using %3F doesn't fix it, but the solution is to surround the whole value by \...\ like this:
...../apex/f?p=118:32:::::P32_XX,P32_YY,P32_ZZ,:100030,486,\VMKF%3AU%202012%3A50\
Note that you don't even need to escape the colons now:
...../apex/f?p=118:32:::::P32_XX,P32_YY,P32_ZZ,:100030,486,\VMKF:U%202012:50\

We are running into an issue with Zapier where it's URL encoding our query parameter names which then doesn't get parsed correctly on API side.
Our parameters might look like this:
Where.Name[eq]=john
however the parameter after it's being used in Zapier ends up looking like this:
Where.Name%5Beq%5D=john
Is there any way how to tell Zapier to not URL encode the query parameter name part?
Try using skipEncodingChars field in z.request (from version 11.3.2+)
https://github.com/zapier/zapier-platform/blob/a3bf8eefa6d0dc41c4001bd74f48873eb85ad1d9/packages/schema/docs/build/schema.md#:~:text=to%20false.-,skipEncodingChars,-no
skipEncodingChars | no | string | Contains the characters that you want left unencoded in the query params (req.params). If unspecified, z.request() will percent-encode non-ascii characters and these reserved characters: :$/?#[]#$&+,;=^#`\.
In my BQ database table I have a column called payload which contains raw facebook webhooks JSON payloads as string. One of them contains a text with an emoji like Sample 🏦. In big query it look like
{"object":"page","entry":[{"id":"xxxx","time":1602757469275,"messaging":[{"sender":{"id":"xxxx"},"recipient":{"id":"xxxx"},"timestamp":1602757469062,"message":{"mid":"m_xxxx","text":"Sample \ud83c\udfe6","quick_reply":{"payload":"{\"key\": \"value\"}"},"tags":{"source":"source"}}}]}]}
I would like to create a view with a column text with extracted text field value from the raw json. I created an sql like
SELECT
JSON_EXTRACT_SCALAR(payload, '$.entry[0].messaging[0].message.text') as text,
FROM `my_table.facebook.webhook_received`
Sadly the result I get looks like that Sample ��
Does anyone know how to make big query decode the emoji properly or at least just not change it to those � signs ?
Those characters you have embedded are not for a bank icon which is your issue I believe.
Run the following in BQ and it returns the desired emoji:
select " Sample \U0001f3e6"
Ref:https://emojipedia.org/bank/
The two you have provided seem to default to the '?', invalid character

edit: what ever is handling the message maybe throwing the encodings you're seeing in your message which may be the actual problem.
If you are using BigQuery Python client and its load_table_from_json method, there is a Unicode bug (especially its byte is over 0xFFFF, like 🏦) in the previous version, and I have submitted this bug fix which is already included in the latest release include it, https://github.com/googleapis/python-bigquery/releases/tag/v2.24.0. By the way, you should use \U0001F3E6, not \ud83c\udfe6 (UTF-16 hex type) to present 🏦 in your Python code with BigQuery.

I'm using Node.js and I found out that when I send GET call to a server with C++ then in SQL binding I get C(blank space)(bankspace) (checked with console.log(req.query.keywords) so essentialy the same length of the string, but no chars there.
When I use SELECT * FROM jobs WHERE keywords LIKE' %c++%'; it works normally and gives me results. Is there something I don't know about Node - like it's dropping signs like +?
I think the issue you're having is the same one outlined here: URLs and plus signs
The issue is that a GET is going to use the query string in the URL and plus signs need to be formatted (or encoded) similar to how a space is formatted as %20 in URLs. You could probably use or create a UrlEncoding method in your application.
In Node, I believe you can use something like: encodeURIComponent('C++')
The URL encoding for + is %2B
I have a user that is storing a 'registered trademark' symbol in her name in our database and when we retrieve it when the database it renders correctly, but when we actually place it onto the website itself in HTML it renders with an extra 'A' symbol in front of it:
You can see above the database value compared to what is rendered in the PDF file. I can access the database value in the backend and edit it through vb code but I am really not sure how or what the code would be to do that as I don't want to remove all ASCII characters just the extra symbol being generated and rendered in the PDF.
Any idea how to do this would be great.
I think the Main-Problem is that you generate wrong HTML-Code by just inserting your Database-Result-Strings into your Website
You can encode your Database String to HTML by using the HtmlEncode-Function from HttpUtility in .NET
Here is an Example from vb.net
myEncodedString = HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(myString)
If you use "myEncodedString" inside your WebPage you'll get no additional Characters and a valid HTML-Code.
Looking for some help here if anyone can offer some. I am working with an oracle database and I would like to trim a string up until a certain character '/'. These fields are paths of a URL and they are all different sizes so I need to make sure it's getting to the very last '/' in the URL and removing everything up until that point. Additionally, there is a session ID that is associated with some of these URLs that is located at the end of the string and has a semi-colon before it starts, so I would want to remove everything that contains a semi-colon up to the semi_colon and on. So essentially I want to remove content from the beginning of the URL and from the end of the URL if applicable. Examples of these URL's (string) are as follows:

Anyone know of an easy fix here? I've tried working with SUBSTR and REPLACE a bit but can't seem to get them to work.
Thanks a bunch in advance,
Ryan
Try this
SELECT CASE WHEN INSTR (surname,';')>0 THEN SUBSTR(surname,1
,INSTR(surname,';',1,1)-1) ELSE surname END FROM
(SELECT SUBSTR(column,INSTR(column,'/',-1)+1) AS surname
FROM tableName)
