Symptoms

Using the R2RML method of generating semantic RDF triples in Oracle 12c

One model successfully created without any problems but then moved to a bigger one and were able to generate around 3,500 of the mapped triples into the staging table before it runs into an error when we call sem_apis.export_rdfview_model:

NLS_CHARACTERSET

29274. 00000 - "fixed-width multibyte character set not allowed for a URL"

*Cause: The character set used as an encoding of the URL is a fixed-width

  multibyte character set and is not allowed for a URL.

*Action: Use the corresponding variable-width multibyte character set for

  the URL instead.
