    Hello
    I have a table with too many lines (lines more than 2000000). I changed the data type (NUMBER of VARCHAR2) of an indexed column (the index is only for this column), using a temporary backup table:

    CREATE TABLE BKTABLE AS SELECT FIELD, ROWID AS IDROW ORIGNALTABLE;
    UPDATE ORIGNALTABLE SET FIELD = NULL;
    ALTER ORIGNALTABLE CHANGE THE FIELD VARCHAR2 (256);
    ORIGNALTABLE UPDATE A FIELD SET = (SELECT FIELD OF BKTABLE B WHERE B.IDROW = A.IDROW);

  • The financial accounts and balance, recurring balance, Data Types and type

    Hi one can me claire for the following?

    1. in HFM account Types, we can find balance and Balance of what it means? is it completely related to finance and accounts topics? If yes give me some good examples of

    understand in what concerns to HFM where this need will come from?

    2. What are the financial accounts that we use in HFM? do we use to load? If yes what is the format, like Excel or data form?

    3. What is the number of head? what his purpose in what concerns the HFM? in what situations we must think and remind about it, means in making the activity which HFM we can understand

    on this subject simply?

    (1) balance and Balance recurring contain data that is not from one period to the other accumulated and are not translated. Effective is typically a balance, such as Square Footage, to provide information to real estate, for example.

    (2) non-financial accounts are usually those who are not focused on the currency, such as the staff, units sold, the number of customers, days sales outstanding, numbers fo new customers, etc. These data entry can be no other data is loaded,-either directly by loading in HFM, through forms, grids, reviews, smart view or FDM, among others that I am sure.

    (3) effective is often a metric for growth. It is often used in reports, such as revenue or margin by staff. Even if you buy a company, remains a ratio between revenue and the staff, so it's a good measure for organic and acquired growth.

  • What are the best practices for creating only time data types, and not the Date

    Hi gurus,

    We use 12 c DB and we have a requirement to create the column with datatype of time only, if someone please describe what are the best practices for the creation of this.

    I would strongly appreciate ideas and suggestions.

    Kind regards
    Ranjan

    Hello

    How do you intend to use the time?

    If you are going to combine with DATEs or timestamps from a other source, then an INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND or NUMBER may be better.

    Will you need to perform arithmetic operations on time, for example, increase the time to 20%, or take an average?   If so, the NUMBER would be preferable.

    You are just going to display it?  In this case, DAY INTERVAL in SECONDS, DATE or VARCHAR2 would work.

    As Blushadow said, it depends.

  • Windows 7 64 bit and the need to install 32-bit and 64-bit client for Oracle 11 g

    Hello

    First of all, I'm sorry to ask what is probably a common response to the knowledge of most in the forum. I can't find a straight answer, the search of these forums or via google.

    We have Windows 7 64 - bit in our next update office. We have several Oracle databases, and all client software in our environment is 32-bit.

    I want to try to be at the forefront, so I want to deploy the latest version of the client 64 - bit 11 g instead of our current client (10 g 32-bit).

    The simple question is this: can we actually do with our suite of 32-bit applications or do I need to install the client for 32-bit to 32-bit applications side-by-side with the customer of Oracle 11 g 64 bit for future 64-bit clients?

    For the future that, if I do, then someone good instructions on this? I found an article about it, but it seemed personal and made use of the mklink command, so I have my doubts it is correct.

    Thank you

    I think that you need separate 64-bit and 32-bit clients

  • Removal of the custom by TestStand 4.0 data types

    Hello! I use the custom in my TestStand sequence data type. This data type is derived from my own control and is a huge cluster of clusters. It is created in a file of sequence (and not in any *.ini). By changes in the sequence, it becomes necessary to delete existing custom data type and create a new one due to changes in the custom control. How can I remove custom data types?

    I n ' found any possibility to do in Teststand menus. It was not so important, if the custom data type was not so huge.

    Thank you in advance for your answer - maybe it's a workout if no direct solution?

    Hello

    Just see the Type of data in the file in the sequence and highlight the custom data type it, then delete it.

    (Please make sure that you do not have variables defined in your file of sequence that still use the data type you want to remove).

  • Where to define new custom data types?

    Hello

    In the past (TS 3.5) I created our own range of custom type file that has been used

    to store the new data types and then referred the case to other colleagues. The file would be

    stored in the ...\Program Files\...\User area.

    My question arose because we now use the TS 4.1/4.2, which is no longer a separate

    Directories of NOR and user in \Program Files.

    Because now I want to change an existing custom data type, I find that our range of custom type has

    fallen by the way side, forgotten.

    Even though I can see the custom data definitions within the sequence of type files that use

    custom data types, which means that I can edit them locally, I intend to return to

    a range of custom type, i.e. comprehensive definition.

    What is the relationship between the definitions in a range of custom type and custom data

    definitions of type of a file of sequence?

    When a palette to update file a file of sequence?, who takes over in the event of conflicts?

    is a really necessary sequence files palette file if they are separated by using the same custom data type

    can update the other? What is good practice when defining custom types of data?

    Thank you

    Gary.

    Hey guys,.

    This is a very interesting thread, and I've got everything right, in heart, with advice given so far. I just wanted to offer some additional tips on the conflicts of kind - with more response, the initial question concerning the definition of what is priority in case of conflict.

    It is important to note that TestStand uses type names and version numbers to identify the different types. It is also important to note that when you use a definition of type of customers within a sequence, the sequence (.seq) file containing the sequence will keep a copy of the type definition. This greatly facilitates distributed sequence files. However, it also opens the door to potential conflicts type.

    TestStand allows only one type of unique name to be loaded into memory at any given time, so that it uses the number of versions of the type to try to resolve these conflicts automatically. For example, TestStand can be configured to load any type is the largest version number (note that this can be changed via the tab Preferences dialog box Options of Station).

    All this information and more are found in the following tutorials...

  • Subtype and data types

    Hi all

    We can overload subprogrammes that setting differ in the number, order, and type of family data. But impossible to overload if the parameter differs only in the void type.

    If I see the standard package, I get
    subtype types BINARY_FLOAT is NUMBER;
    subtype BINARY_DOUBLE is NUMBER;

    But I am able to overload the two procedures, we have a parameter types binary_float and binary_double other. They are of subtype of the same data type. that is the number. So, how is it possible. Also, most of the subtypes have no difference. So, why are there these number of subtypes? Oracle defines subtypes as data type with some sort of constraint on the base data type, but is valid for all? for example, smallint, and decimal.

    type of NUMBER is NUMBER_BASE;
    subtype of FLOAT is NUMBER;
    ACTUAL subtype is FLOAT;
    subtype 'DOUBLE PRECISION' is FLOAT;
    INTEGER subtype is NUMBER (38.0).
    subtype INT is INTEGER;
    subtype SMALLINT is NUMBER (38.0).
    DECIMAL subtype is NUMBER (38.0).
    DIGITAL subtype is DECIMAL;
    DEC subtype is DECIMAL;

    ANSI SQL/DS and DB2 data types

    The SQL statements that create tables and clusters allows also ANSI data types and products IBM SQL/DS and DB2 data types. Oracle recognizes the ANSI or IBM data type name that differs from the Oracle database data type name. It converts the data type for the equivalent Oracle data type, stores the Oracle data type under the name of the column data type and stores the data in the column in the data type Oracle based on the conversions listed in the following tables.

    But BINARY_FLOAT and BINARY_DOUBLE types are each defined as unique data types (see table 2-1 in this doc).

    Because they are unique Oracle data types, they can be overloaded.

  • How to convert an array of string elements to a cluster with elements named different data types?

    I'm looking for more help with the conversion of an array of elements of the chain in a cluster containing elements named different data types.

    I am importing data from an Excel worksheet.  He is coming in LabVIEW as separate (channels) 3 tables: 1) Variable name, (2) three possibilities Int, double, String) data type and the value 3), with the clues in each table corresponding to a separate variable (I have about 180 variables to import).  My ultimate goal is to convert the string array of 'Value' in a cluster.  But I want the correct data type in the cluster and I also the elements of the cluster name to match with the string 'Variable name' table so that I can use the Unbundle based on the name in my main VI.

    Please see attachment a Subvi for more details.  I did the size of the new items of tables 5 for simplicity.   I realize that labels property cannot be changed during execution and I don't think I need to do.  I just want to use the production cluster (mainly the unbundle by name) to help design my main VI.  I will need to 'read' and 'write for' the cluster during execution, but I won't need to change the names of the items.

    I was also wondering if there is a better way to import data from Excel?  Is it possible to import directly into a cluster immediately rather than put everything as strings?  I have attached a Subvi showing how I currently bring in data (found on the forum somewhere).  It comes as table 2D, which I divided into 3 separate tables that I mention above.

    I am open to any suggestion.  Thank you very much.

    Instead of trying to create a cluster, I think I would use only variant attributes.

  • Custom data type

    We use a custom data type container and add variables to use in the sequence inhabitants.

    It seems that the field of the local variable names having to match domain names that they have seized originally in the custom data type container.

    Is it possible to just rename the names of the fields of a local variable is of the type, data type container custom, while maintaining the field names the original custom data type container?
