• TO_CHAR to_date and functions are in error

  Hi guys,.

  My apologies if this look very stupid question to be posted on the forum, but I get errors for the following query:

  select to_date('sysdate','DD-MM-RR HH24:MI:SS') + 6/24 "Adding 6 hours ahead"
  from dual;
  

  It gives me the following error.

  ORA-01858: a non-digit character was found here where was waiting for a digital

  01858 00000 - "a non-digit character found here where was waiting for a digital".

  * Cause: Input data to convert using a date format model has been

  incorrect answer.  The input data did not contain a number where is a number

  required by the format model.

  * Action: Fix the input data or the date format model to ensure that the

  elements correspond to the number and the type.  And then try the operation again.

  What I want, or I'm trying to do is I want knowledge/duty to provide information to add 6 hours before the current system.

  I understand that this is because I am using to_date and "sysdate" but even if I change the to_char I always get an error

  ORA-01722: invalid number

  01722 00000 - "invalid number."

  * Cause:

  * Action:

  Finally, if I try to do something with sudo double table it always gives me error, I tried the following query.

  Query:

  select ('sysdate','DD-MM-RR HH24:MI:SS') + 6/24 "Adding 6 hours ahead"
  from dual;
  

  O/P

  ORA-00907: lack of right parenthesis

  00907 00000 - "lack the right parenthesis.

  * Cause:

  * Action:

  Error on line: column 74: 18

  May I know where I'm basically bad?

  Would be really appreciated your advice.

  Thank you!

  Function SYSDATE returns the DATE data type. So do not point using TO_DATE on it to convert it to DATE.

  What you need is

  SQL > alter session set nls_date_format = 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS ";

  Modified session.

  SQL > select sysdate
  2, sysdate + '6' time-span
  3 double;

• Help on using substr and instr functions

  Hello
  
  I'm trying to go back to the first three letters of the first word and all the last word in a description field. For example, if the description is 'grilled steak' the query should return "steak gri. That's what I have so far:
  
  SELECT SUPPLIER_ID, PRODUCT_CODE, SUBSTR (DESCRIPTION, 1, 3). ' ' || SUBSTR (DESCRIPTION, INSTR (DESCRIPTION, ' ', 3)) AS A DESCRIPTION
  OF L_FOODS;
  
  Unfortunately, if the first word is the final word, it returns something like "sod soda." Does anyone have any advice or suggestions? Any help would be appreciated.

  Hi and welcome to the forum!

  It is always helpful if you identify your version of Oracle. The solution below depends on 10.1 and upward.

  What you could do is include a conditional around your instr/substr functions that checks the number of spaces between words. If it is greater or equal two one then there are at least two words. For example:

  WITH test_data AS
  (
       SELECT 'grilled steak' AS DESCRIPTION FROM DUAL UNION ALL
       SELECT 'large pepperoni pizza' AS DESCRIPTION FROM DUAL UNION ALL
       SELECT 'soda' AS DESCRIPTION FROM DUAL
  )
  SELECT     (CASE
            WHEN LENGTH(REGEXP_REPLACE(TRIM(DESCRIPTION),'[^[:space:]]','')) > 0
            THEN SUBSTR(DESCRIPTION,1,3) || SUBSTR(DESCRIPTION,INSTR(DESCRIPTION,' ',-1))
            ELSE SUBSTR(DESCRIPTION,1,3)
       END) AS DESCRIPTION
  FROM     test_data
  

  Results

  SQL> /
  
  DESCRIPTION
  -----------------------
  gri steak
  lar pizza
  sod
  

  : EDITION:

  I also wanted to add this:

  SUBSTR(DESCRIPTION, INSTR(DESCRIPTION, ' ', 3))
  

  May not return the expected results. If your description field contains more than two words he will return all remaining words not only the LAST Word. See my solution above for what I believe is the correct version.

  HTH!

• MONTH and YEAR functions.  Help, please...

  Can someone tell me why the YEAR and MONTH functions only accepts the format dd-MMM-yyyy (e.g. 1 January 2009)
  
  The guest of the calendar will be return only the format dd/mm/yyyy (e.g. 01/01/2009). This makes it pretty useless calendar.

• substr function failure

  Hi, can someone tell me why a simple substr would throw an error if the varchar target assignment is not larger than the length supplied in the substr function three characters?
  
  can someone tell me why:
  
  declare
  v_legal varchar2 (200);
  v_disp_trans_sid integer: = 850500;
  
  Start
  
  v_legal: = SUBSTR (Ttls_Common.build_parcel_string (v_disp_trans_sid), 1, 200);
  dbms_output.put_line ('v_legal is' |) Length (v_legal) | 'characters.');
  
  end;
  /
  
  This causes even if the assignment is substr to 200:
  
  declare
  *
  ERROR on line 1:
  ORA-06502: PL/SQL: digital or value error: character string buffer too small
  ORA-06512: at line 7
  
  Yet once I increase the size of the target varchar by three characters it works:
  
  declare
  v_legal varchar2 (203);
  v_disp_trans_sid integer: = 850500;
  
  Start
  
  v_legal: = SUBSTR (Ttls_Common.build_parcel_string (v_disp_trans_sid), 1, 200);
  dbms_output.put_line ('v_legal is' |) Length (v_legal) | 'characters.');

  v_legal is 200 characters.

  Most likely it is the BYTE value. If so, as I already mentioned, you can specify explicitly:

  v_legal varchar2 (200 char);

  or you can define the semantics of length for your session of characters instead of bytes

  ALTER SESSION SET NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS = CHAR;

  or you can assign this TANK once for the instance:

  ALTER SYSTEM SET NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS = CHAR;

  and bounce th instance.

• Thread and ThreadStart functions stop in Labwindows

  Hello

  I'm trying to access a card PCI Express, which uses the ThreadStart functions and ThreadStop driver. When I compile

  my code, LabWindows generate an error "missing" prototype I looked at the source code for the driver and the following line is

  in the header file:

  #if! (defined (WIN32): defined (WIN16)) | defined (WinCE). defined (_MT)
  DWORD DLLCALLCONV ThreadStart(HANDLE *phThread, HANDLER_FUNC pFunc, void *pData);
  Sub DLLCALLCONV ThreadStop (HANDLE hThread);

  #endif

  I use Windows XP Professional, so I guess I wouldn't declare and define functions of theses. If I remove

  the condition, LabWindows may find prototypes, but the same problem occurs for other functions and as I am

  will probably update the driver, I will not comment the code inside the driver.

  If anyone has had the same problem or knows the solution? (maybe an option of the compiler...)

  Thank you

  Cyril

  Oh boy, I think you're screwed! _beginthreadex() belongs to the C from Visual C++ runtime library. his name starts with a '_', which means that it is an extension to the runtime soldier: it is clearly not transferable and will never compile with any other than Visual C++ C runtime library.

  Now you can use Visual C++ to compile your code, or ask the original developer to stop using the TERM private extensions and stick to the standard C and standard system calls. I personally would opt for the second option.

  (in any case, I want to say that CreateThread() is not only for Windows CE: this is a standard Windows API call available on all Windows since Windows 95 systems (maybe even before). don't be fooled by the Windows SDK documentation that separates documentation for Windows CE and Windows standard.) Unfortunately, some rather old SDK documentation shows the first Windows CE functions (especially when you are looking for in the index) people fooling into thinking that these functions are only for THIS: all functions available on Windows CE is also also available for standard WIndows OSes with more options and a more profound documentation.)

• Keys - F2 and F3 function does not.

  I bought the laptop HP Pavilion n209TX 15 this year and key functions work properly. But later, on 10 may 2014, they do not work! I checked if there was a software through which he passed, but I did not install any type of software that may adversely affect the operation of the keys. I am really struggling with very low brightness. The last thing I did was - windows update - that installed the following software

  Microsoft Silverlight

  Furthermore, I installed HP Quick fix.

  Whenever I press F2 or F3, it shows just the cursor (it won't go up and down well) and when I click on the slider top, nothing happens again. I also tried to go to the brightness option in the Windows Mobility Center and tried to adjust the brightness - but nothing happens.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
