Leave a pc on all the time, as I always close the end of the day?

I have recently been informed by a friend that computers should be left on at all times rather than close them at the end of the day,

Apparantley shut down a computer translates the computer run slower?

Please can someone tell me if this is correct?

Thank you in advance with any help I can receive

Your friend is, in my view, perpetuating an urban legend I've met regularly. I always shut my PC down when I'm done with her. Apart from anything else, this is the 'green' thing to do and your electricity bills will be reduced too.

He move in your PC to parts that wear out because there is no such thing as a perpetual motion machine. These moving parts will fail more quickly if you leave the PC on 24/7. Leave the PC 24/7 means that it is necessary to clean more often if dust accumulates at a faster rate, which increases the risk of overheating.

Please mark this as useful or response if applicable.

  • Function to retrieve all the days of the previous month.

    Hello

    Yes, it's a monthly report, I received the task at hand.

    So, all I need is every day of the previous month (even if there is no data for that day)

    I was instructed to use the following code, but it does not return a value any:
    DECLARE
       CURSOR CUR_LAST_DAY IS
          SELECT TO_CHAR (LAST_DAY (ADD_MONTHS (SYSDATE, -1) ), 'DD')
            FROM DUAL;
     
       VVA_LAST_DAY   VARCHAR2 (2);
       --
       VNU_JOUR       NUMBER       := 0;
    BEGIN
       OPEN CUR_LAST_DAY;
     
       FETCH CUR_LAST_DAY
        INTO VVA_LAST_DAY;
     
       CLOSE CUR_LAST_DAY;
     
       WHILE VNU_JOUR <= TO_NUMBER (VVA_LAST_DAY) - 1
       LOOP
          VNU_JOUR := VNU_JOUR + 1;
       END LOOP;
    END;
    --CLOSE CUR_LAST_DAY
    --DEALLOCATE CUR_LAST_DAY
    -----
    On the other end, I developed this code:
    SELECT TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'dd')
    FROM DUAL
    WHERE TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'dd') >= to_char(to_date(to_char(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE, -1),'yyyy-mm')||'-01'),'yyyy-mm-dd')
    AND TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'dd') < to_char(LAST_DAY(to_date(to_date(to_char(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE, -1),'yyyy-mm')||'-01'),'yyyy-mm-dd')));
    Which returns a null value. :(

    Concerning

    Hello
    You want to retrieve whole days of the month last query... So here's...

    SELECT
    TO_DATE(LEVEL||'-'||TO_CHAR(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-1),'MON-YY'),'DD-MON-YY') COMP_DATE,
    TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(LEVEL||'-'||TO_CHAR(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-1),'MON-YY'),'DD-MON-YY'),'DD') ONLY_DD,
    TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(LEVEL||'-'||TO_CHAR(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-1),'MON-YY'),'DD-MON-YY'),'MM') ONLY_MM,

    FROM DUAL
    CONNECT BY LEVEL <= TO_NUMBER(TO_CHAR(LAST_DAY(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-1)),'DD'))
    

    I'm not at the machine database so not tested.

    But one thing do not forget that this forum only for reports, it is a separate SQL and pl/sql instance.

  • What can I do to prevent Firefox from hanging when I leave after having tried all the suggested fixes?

    Running Windows 7 with all updates. Starting with version 29.0.1 of Firefox, Firefox often hangs when I go out. When you restart Firefox, I get "Firefox is already running but is not responding... ». I then have to manually stop firefox.exe * 32 front I can restart the program. I applied all of the suggested fixes (disable all addons, extension and themes), and made sure I can delete the parent.lock file. Also noted the closing delay mentioned with Vista user. I have the error message occur several minutes after the release of Firefox, although I have often used the X button at the top of the right screen to exit Firefox always without any problems in the past. The function of this key has changed too?
    In any case, I use now exit the menu button drop down, but still have the problem of blocking.

    This is a bug in Firefox 29 where Firefox crashes out when the setting 'clear history of Firefox closing' is selected.

    If you use custom settings for history in your Firefox Privacy options and selecting 'Clear history of Firefox closing', remove the checkbox. See this article for more details:

  • How to remove all the day archivelog backups?

    Hello

    Oracle 10 g 2 on 64-bit RHEL.

    Backup strategy:

    • There will be a level 0 of the database every Sunday and level 1 backup every working day.
    • Archivelogs will be saved up every 30 minutes.

    Q: How can I remove ALL archivelog backups that were taken that day there (every 30 minutes) just after the success of the backup of level 0 or level 1?

    I want to remove them because they will be of no use after the backup of level 0 or level 1 (am I right)?

    Best regards

    The idea of removing the archivelogs tape/disk backup will not only affect point in recovery time, but also be against the concept of RMAN retention policy. If your backup retention is of 7 days, RMAN manages backup element (Archives of newspapers/data/control files) are obsolete.

    Command below will delete backup logs to archive more than 1 day:

    DELETE the BACKUP OF archivelog until TIME = ' sysdate-1'. '.

    Thank you
