• Comparing converted text until then with the Date column

  I have a question where I need out of a text column in a date format and then compare this column against another column in the same table, which is already to date format. I tried to use a sub query to avoid doing this in two steps, but get a:
  
  "ORA-01858' a non-digit character was found here where was waiting for digital"
  
  error message that obviously has something to do with the date formatting in the subquery: the types do not match.
  
  Note: clock_num is a text column and contains the numbers are supposed to be dates like 070111 - where the need for conversion to a date type to match the stat_date which is the type of date column. I have no control over the data in this column. It is not my picture, is the picture of the society and I have to use!
  
  So my question is what syntax/function should I use to get the type of expression clock_nbr the type of eff_date.
  
  Or y at - it another way to do the same thing without using subquery?
  
  Any help is appreciated...
  
  SELECT
  me. SSN,
  Of
  member_enroll me
  WHERE me.ssn = '999999999'
  AND me.stat_date <
  (SELECT to_date (substr (me.clock_num, 1, 2) |)) » /' || substr (me.clock_num, 3, 2) | '/' || substr(me.clock_num,5,2), 'mm-DD-yy') as clock_nbr
  OF member_enroll me
  WHERE me.ssn = '999999999')

  I have no experience with PL/SQL Developer. Any chance you could launch SQL * more and copy / paste of a session where you run this code?

  You should only run the DDL to create the function once. If the second query runs, you have managed to successfully create the function. My hypothesis is that whatever 'window SQL' you are talking about and what you mean by 'run' is the cause only the function must be created. Most of the IDEs have a function to execute current SQL statement, without taking into account other statements that can be registered in the same window, and a separate function to execute all instructions in the current window. Different iDEs have different requirements to separate several SQL statements if you want to run all of the SQL statements in a window. You may need to do something like the added statement a / after the CREATE FUNCTION as a separator.

  Hello

  1. are you able to read any type of file .doc or .txt of DVD?

  After following all the steps (including the update of the MP9 for Media Player [MP] 11) below

  I can get the drive to DISPLAY all the data from the DVD (Master & Commander 'movie)

  on-screen MP11.  He plays (automatically) the intro (ONLY) from the DVD music (as when you put it in a DVD player, forward to press PLAY) MP11 shows all of the content and all the files on the DVD and SEEMS ready to play, but pressing on PLAY don't either not anything.

  2 , what exactly happens when you try to burn the CD? You get the error message?

  Not nothing... He's here

  3. How do you try to burn CDs?

  MediaPlayer, selection of a track list, made a list of titles, and then click BURN... nothing happens

  4 have you tried to play the DVD content in ? windows media player

  I had not before, but now I have.  Previously it was default to my SELECTION WIN DVD4 as the DVD player (I think I've EVER SEEN the WINDVD format/start page on the front screen - it wasn't the default front DVD player either but don't remember what program PLAYS the DVD, he ' comes of ").  Now, go back and see 1. above for MP11 more details.

  Try to update the drivers of CD-RW/DVD drive and check. Also update the graphics driver.

  I did the entire bottom.

• Date formatting to_char - truncate issue zeros

  Hello

  I have used this date formatting in an APEX application, but I noticed that the problem also occurs when you run a simple script in the database.

  The query is:

  Select

  TO_CHAR (sysdate, 'fmDay, GFMD fmMonth AAAA HH:MIPM'),

  TO_CHAR (sysdate, ' HH:MIPM of MON-DD-YYYY "")

  of the double

  The problem occurs when the minutes have a zero in it, in the example that I have attached, it was 14:05, and it shows as 14:05

  Is there a reason that this is happening? I am unable to use the combination I've used? I really want the full date with month and day names.

• filling of datetime column SQL Server with the data in the date column oracle

  After a lot of "finangling", I think I have my link dg4msql works well between Oracle and MSSQL.
  
  Now, what I'm trying to do, is fill a table in MSSQL with an Oracle table column values, whenever a new row is inserted in the Oracle table. I use a very simple trigger on the oracle table that goes basically like this:
  
  mware is dblink to MSSQL database, oracle col worth DATE and mssql col is of type DATETIME
  
  This is the relaxation: (edited to show only the column in question)
  ==================================================================================
  CREATE or replace TRIGGER < oracleowner >. INSERT_INTO_NVDB
  AFTER INSERT ON < oracleowner >. < oracletable > for each row
  BEGIN
  insert into '< mssqlowner > '. «< mssqltable > @mware «»
  (
  "load_date_time,"
  )
  VALUES)
  : new.loading_date,.
  );
  
  END;
  ==================================================================================
  
  Now, when you enter a record in the Oracle trigger triggers ok table but does not insert a date in the MSSQL table, the 'load_date_time' in the mssql table can have NULL values so I guess there just inserts a null value.
  
  When I activate the triggers on the table MSSQL, which then takes these values and inserts them into another table with values from other tables, inserting in the Oracle table fails because the relaxation on the MSSQL database tries to pass the date (which is empty) table MSSQL in another table where the datetime field is not null.
  
  I guess it's because Oracle date format is not compatible with MSSQL, which I think is "yyyy-mm-dd hh: mm:"- so I have to either convert the date format by default Oracle to match a MSSQL, or convert a char of the trigger value. (The developer of the side MSSQL says if I can convert it to a char value that should be ok too)
  
  I think that it is probably better to leave it in the date format, the best way to do this would be to put an "alter session set nls_date_format ="at the beginning of the trigger?
  
  Can I convert the date to char the trigger easily? If there is a better way to proceed in the way I approach it I'm all for it.
  
  Thank you!

  Hello
  Your best option is to explicitly convert dates Oracle in a format recognized by SQL * Server. It's more coding, but then you know exactly what is being inserted and you give more control, if anything changes. You can also code to handle null data.
  I'm not sure than to try to change the format of date to 'alter session... ". "do what you want.
  You can use "to_char" on a date into character data-

  To_char (, "HH24:MI:SSxFF of MON-DD-YYYY")

  and use any mask format supported.
  You also use 'to_date' to transform the character data in a date format, as well as 'to_char' and 'to_date' in combination.
  For example -.

  SELECT TO_CHAR (TO_DATE (October 27, 98 ',' DD-MON-RR'), 'YYYY') 'Year' FROM DUAL;

  This is all discussed in the documentation-

  Oracle® database
  SQL language reference
  11g Release 2 (11.2)

  where it also describes the different format masks.
  If you need further assistance on the use of to_date, to_char formats then ask in the forum SQL/PLSQL.

  SQL and PL/SQL

  where they have more experience.

• Problems with the date in the procedure on Oracle 11 g

  Hi gurus,
  
  I have some problems with the date under Oracle 11 g format.
  
  Let me explain the situation:
  
  When I start such a request
  Select to_number (to_char (to_date('01.04.2009','dd.mm.yyyy'), 'yyyy'))
  of sys.dual
  
  I had as a result 2009 under the number.
  
  When I do the same thing in a procedure of a package like this
  
  my_year: = to_number (to_char (to_date('01.04.2009','dd.mm.yyyy'), 'yyyy'));
  
  the my_year variable contains the value 9 instead of 2009.
  
  Can someone explain to me what goes wrong?
  
  I just tested with the evolution of the variable nls_date_format of environment for the session and the database is complete without success.

• How canI change the date format of dd/mm/yyyy to dd/mm/yyyy in filed?

  I just got and try things my new Alcatel fire E with FirefoxOS (just updated) 2.0.0.0.

  It is usual in most operating systems to be able to customize the date and time (among others). After a few hours of unsuccessful fiddling with the phone and checking the various forums, I came to the conclusion that it is currently not possible on my phone with this version of FirefoxOS. Or did I just miss something?

  Achim

  Hi achim_59,

  I understand that you want to set the date format to display the jj/mm/aaaa on your Firefox OS device.

  This feature has been implemented in Firefox OS v2.1. Unfortunately, this feature is not available in v2.0:

• Need help with the data storage store, local array and network connections

  Need help with my ESXi 4.1 installation

  My hardware:

  I built a server with an Asus P6T whitebox, i7 920, 12 Gig RAM, NIC, Intel Pro1000 PT Quad, 3ware 9650SE-12ML with 8 1.5 TB SATA green in a raid 6 array gives me about 8 + TB with a spare drive all housed within a NORCO RPC-4220 4U Rackmount Server chassis.  I also have a 500 GB SATA drive which will hold the ESXi and virtual machines.

  The network includes a firewall, Netgear Prosafe FVS336G, GS724Tv of Netgear ProSafe 24 port Gigabit Managed Switch on a dhcp cable modem internet service provider.

  I also have 2 old NetGear SC101T NAS disks (4to) I want to connect to the system how some - at a later date have... data on them and want to transfer to the new storage array. I always looking into the question of whether they will work with ESXi 4.1, or I might have to only access it through Windows XP.

  My Situation:

  I have already installed ESXi 4.1 and vsphere client with no problems and it is connected to a dhcp cable internet service.  I've set up host via a dynamic DNS service name give me a static hostname on the internet.  I installed three machines to virtual OS successfully at the moment and now want to first start by creating a multimedia storage server which will use some of this new 8 TB array, then separate data storage for use with a web server small overhead storage and a backup.  It is a domestic installation.

  Help with the data store and network:

  I was doing some reading, because I'm new to this, and it looks like I'll probably want to set up my table via ESXi as a nfs disk format.  Now, the data store is usually in another physical box from what I understand, but I put my readers and ESXi all in the same box.  I'm not sure that the best way to put in place with grouped network cards, but I want to make this work.

  I understand that in ESXi 4.1 using iSCSi LUN must be less than 2 TB, but nfs - I should be able to add a bigger partition then 2 TB (for my multimedia) in nfs, right? or should I still add it separately as a separate 2 TB drives and then extend them to get the biggest space.

  Any suggestions or direct resources showing examples on how to actually add some parts of the table as data warehouses separate nfs.  I know that to go to the configuration tab, and then select Add to storage, and then select nfs. I have not my picture, but it's here that I don't know what to do because ESXi 4.1 system already has an address, should I put the same thing to the new data store array also (will it work?), and what should I use for the name of the folder and the store of data... just do something to the top.  I thought to later install Openfiler (for a multimedia storage using this table server) as a virtual machine, use the table with esxi so that I can access the same storage space with widows and linux-based systems.

  I also know I have to find a way to better use my quad nic card... put in place of virtual switches, grouping, etc HELP?

  Any direction, assistance, similar facilities to sample, suggestions or resources that would help would be great. I did a lot of hunting, but still a little confused on how to best to put in place.

  You must think of VMDK files of large databases with records of random size guest go read some data (a DLL or an INI file), maybe write some data back, then go read other data. Some files are tiny, but certain DLLs are several megabytes. It's random i/o all and heavy on the search time. IO Opsys is small random operations that are often sequential (go read data, write data, go read other data,...) so that deadlines are critical to the overall performance. That's why people say OPS are / s of reference and forget the MBs flow. The only time where you bulk transfers are when you read media (ISO files).

  Well, now forget all this. Actually the disk activity will depend on the specific applications (database? mail server? machines compiler?), but the above is true for boots, and whenever applications are idle. You should see the profile to know.

  RAID 10 is faster (and often more reliable) than RAID 5 or RAID-6 except in certain specific cases. In General RAID 10 is ideal for many random writes, since the calculation of parity for RAID-5 and - 6 adds to the overall latency between command and response - latency is cumulative if a little slow here and a little slow it adds up to a lot of overall slow synchronous especially with e/s on a network. OTOH RAID-5 and -6 can produce faster readings due to the number of heads, so you can use it for virtual machines that transfer bulk. Test. You may find that you need several different types subdashboards for best results.

  You said 3ware, they have some good grades on their site, but don't believe it. With my 9650 that I found myself with only a couple of their recommendations-, I put the (simple) table for allocation size 256 k, nr_requests at 2 x the queue_depth and use the planner date limit. I had the habit for the Ext4 file system formatted with stride and stripe-width synced to the table and used the options large_files with fewer inodes (do not use the huge_files option unless you plan to have single VMDK files in the terabyte range). Use a cache of great reading in advance.

  Virtual machines use VMDK files in all cases except raw iSCSI LUN that they treat native disks. VMDK is easier to manage - you can make a backup by copying the file, you can move it to a PC and load it into another flavour of VMware, etc. There could be some features iSCSI to your San as a transparent migration but nothing for me. NFS has less chatter of Protocol if latency lower times to complete an operation. NFS is good to read and write a block of data, that's all it boils down to.

  UPS is good, but it won't help if something inside the machine explodes (UPS does nothing if the PC power supply goes down). If the RAID card has an option for a battery backup module, so it can contain some writings in memory and may end up the disk i/o after replacing the power supply. 3ware also limits the types of caching available if help is not installed, and you get just the right numbers with the module.

  If the column is a DATE, then it has the same format that all DATEs, which is nothing like 'DD-MON-YYYY '. Formats like which apply only to chains.
  Conversely, if it is in the format "DD-MON-YYY", then it is a string, not a DATE.

  but I want to change to DD/MM/YYYY. My query is below:

  Select to_date('fccpdate','MM/DD/YYYY')

  To_date (x, "MM/DD/YYYY") tries to convert the string x in a DATE. Let's say it starts by taking the first 2 characters of x, for the month. The first 2 characters of 'fccpdate' are "fc", which is not a valid number (at least not in base 10), not to mention a number from 1 to 12, TO_DATE so will raise an error.

  Select TO_char ('fccpdate ',' MON-DD-YYYY "") of cc_class_scmast_v, where fccpdate IS NOT NULL
  Error report:
  SQL error: ORA-01722: invalid number
  01722 00000 - "invalid number."
  * Cause:
  * Action:

  I tried to remove the single quotes of my column and that does make a difference. Any help is appreciated.

  It's a good first step. Literals are enclosed in single quotes are not identifiers (including the column names). "fccpdate" is the literal string of 8 characters containing 'f', ' c; Another 'c', 'p' 'd', 'a', 't' and 'e'. " fccpdate (without the single quotes) can be the name of a column.

  If fccpdate is a string, as July 18, 2012', then you can convert it to a DATE using TO_DATE.

  TO_DATE (fccpdate, 'DD-MON-YYYY')
  

  If you want to display a DATE in a particular format, use

  TO_CHAR ( d
          , f
          )
  

  where d is a DATE, and f is the format string. In this case, d is perhaps the TO_DATE expression above

  TO_CHAR ( TO_DATE (fccpdate, 'DD-MON-YYYY')
          , 'MM/DD/YYYY'
          )
  

  I hope that answers your question.
  If not, post a small example data (CREATE TABLE and only relevant columns, INSERT statements) for all of the tables involved and also publish outcomes from these data.
  Explain, using specific examples, how you get these results from these data.
  Always tell what version of Oracle you are using.

• Change the DATE FORMAT in a data store

  I created a few projects with the help of a Teradata technology using tables that allow to CREATE_TARG_TABLE the Yes option.
  
  Model / data store, there are DATE fields, but I can't change the DATE FORMAT, change the field.
  
  When the process starts and creates the table in the database, create using FORMAT of DATE "AA-MM-DD" and I would like to create as "YYYY-MM-DD".
  
  Y at - it a step that I am doing wrong, to be able to change the DATE FORMAT?
  
  From already thank,

  Hello

  --> Physical Architecture topology--> Teradata--> data types, create a new data type (or modify the existing DATE data type), then set it to the desired format of the syntax 'Create Table' and 'Format data type accessible writable.

  That is to say DATE FORMAT "YYYY-MM-DD".

  Then all your tables created will use this format. (I just tested it, it works).

  Let us know if you have any problems.

  See you soon
