No.; YYMMDD MMDDYY format apply only to broadcasters; all DATE columns are in the same internal format.
If you have a string (in one of the predefined formats), you can use TO_DATE to convert it to a DATE. So if you found the information of date in YYMMDD format, you can do something like:

INSERT INTO  table_x (entry_date)
VALUES (TO_DATE, 'YYMMDD'));

If you want to display a DATE in a particular format, use TO_CHAR. For example

SELECT  TO_CHAR (entry_date, 'MMDDYYYY')  AS entry_date
FROM    table_x;

Avoid numbers 2 years where possible. They cause a lot of errors.

    How and where is the best place to use this code.

    What type of validation

    You said:

    I am now validate the collection and would like to know the number of columns in the collection were given.

    and

    Otherwise, I should raise an error or enter an error indicator and the error message in columns 11 and 12

    So one could assume that aspect was already developed.

    The short answer is that without knowing the details of what you are trying to do, how your do it, and how you have reached: don't know.

    I expect this kind of import of data includes several pages forming a multi-step wizard, so there are a lot of possibilities. For example, use it in a cursor FOR loop to set the above error flag and message columns, then conditionally branch to a report with errors page if error indicators exist in the collection, or the next page of the wizard, if they are not.

    Nobody wants you to post 1 million rows. 10 lines can be many. Just examples of data make sure that validation really produces the results you post.

    I copied data from 16 Jan just differentiate different dates.

    I also tried trunc, but who has still not the sum of each divisions.

    Highlight a few places where the query I posted produces erroneous results and explain how to get good results in these places. Give concrete examples showing how to get the correct results of the sample data.

  • What is the purpose to define the number of columns?

    I have never used InDesign, so for Muse, I am confused as to the goal of being able to define the number of columns to be over 1-column?

    According my video tutorials Dani quickie review, I didn't see any action against the elements of design, she put on the page layout to "alignment on" an edge of column or not.

    Thanks for the tips.

    Using columns is part of a fundamental convention design layout design in a grid. A grid system can make the placement of your content more pleasant to the eye. Content that is simply eye-ball on a page can seem scattered, disorganized and obviously less appeal to viewers.

    Hello

    I implemented a small suitcase of test on apex.oracle.com and I get the error even if I use the download format.

    I have a table
    test_blob (identification number, name varchar2 (10), blobcont blob)

    If I create IR as

      select
        id,
        name,
        blobcont
      from test_blob
    

    and then I set the download format I got the error.

    If you want this to work you need to change your query to

      select
        id,
        name,
        dbms_lob.getlength(blobcont) blobcont
      from test_blob
    

    And there still define download for blob on column blobcont format.

    Kind regards

    It is a type of associative array definition. A table has no columns. It is a collection of elements (variables or values). An array location is usually called a cell.

    The standard method Count() exist in Oracle for all table types.

    As for the definition of the table, as in structures, variables make the table contain - associative array is defined in the PL/SQL code and does not exist in the layer of metadata to the database as a new user-defined type. For the definition, you must read the declaration of PL/SQL defining the table.

    Note that there is very rarely the need for associative tables in PL/SQL - 99% of the time they are used without any idea as to what as a table associative is also.

    PDF does not contain columns, lines, formats, styles or other aspects of word processing or spreadsheet file formats.

    This is because the PDF is decidedly not a file format of word processor or a spreadsheet or something 'like' one of these.

    (see ISO 32000 for what PDF "is")

    Which allows to optimize the export of the content of a page PDF is to start with that tag well formed PDF (ISO 14289-1, PDF/UA-1).

    Without that export is what it is and we performs the cleanup of any necessary content using the native application for the export of files (MS Word or Excel).

  • DR IP customizer: error on line number '17': the number of columns specified is incorrect.

    Hello

    I work with MRS 4.1 and trying to customizations ip configuration for my virtual machines guests on the recovering site (approx. 100 guests).  I've updated the CSV (generated from the order of Dr. - ip - customizer.exe) with all the necessary network information.  But when I try and upload it to my site SRM recovery server, I get the following error:

    Error on line number '17': the number of columns specified is incorrect.

    Is the command I use to download: Dr. - ip - customizer.exe - cfg... create csv - c:\srmip.csv - cmd \config\vmware-Dr.xml

    I found that if I change the csv file so that it contains 16 lines or less it downloads very well.  I have not read on any limitation of the number of rows in the csv file might contain so I think that there is a configuration that causes this behavior, but I can't figure out what that/where it is.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    something is wrong with your file formatting. A look at the image as an attachment. From the server6 (line 17) do not have the lines "," (comma) at the end of the line (and so less columns):

    If I take your file and then open in Excel and save it without changing anything, all lines have ',' (comma).

    Probably something wrong with the way in which you save the files (Excel throws several warnings when you try to save the file in the csv format, you have to press 'Yes').

  • the number of columns in dynamic sql

    I was wondering if you could count the number of columns had a dynamic sql code.

    Very simple eg.

    I know s/n | THE USER | ALL_TAB_COLUMNS, but it could be a few different columns columns, and it is not a view.

    Thanks for you advice/help.

    with the "immediate execution" option you cannot get metadata such as the number of columns for the executed query. Use rather dbms_sql...

    Research of DESCRIBE_COLUMNS string in the link below... It will give you an idea of how to make to get the same.
