TO_NUMBER and NLS settings... do not understand

I am trying to get my head around the use of format and with TO_NUMBER NLS settings and TBH am at my wits end. So I'll start with something simple. I never took the trouble or should bother with the third parameter "nls params" for NLS settings and now I have I really regret.

This works even if the '. 'and',' characters are not in their normal positions...

SQL > SELECT TO_NUMBER ('17.000,23 ', '999G999D99', ' nls_numeric_characters = ",".) ') FROM DUAL;

TO_NUMBER('17.000,23','999G999D99','NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS='',.''')

-------------------------------------------------------------------

17000.2

So why this version throws an error?   (I should say all that I changed is the order of ', 'and'.' in the string)

SQL > SELECT TO_NUMBER (' 17,000.23', '999G999D99', ' nls_numeric_characters = ",". ' ") FROM DUAL;

SELECT TO_NUMBER (' 17,000.23', '999G999D99', ' nls_numeric_characters = ",". ' ") FROM DUAL

*

ERROR on line 1:

ORA-01722: invalid number

Is also the order of the characters question here ' nls_numeric_characters = ",". ')  ?

I'm sorry but when marking code in my spl * more CLI and try to paste here as "insert SQL" lines eventually lack or conditioning or line spacing change seconds later. I found myself with a single line crushed on the other and the missing lines are visible once highlighted!

Is also the order of the characters question here ' nls_numeric_characters = ",". ')  ?

Of course, the order is important. How can you say the meaning of each character if it wasn't?

First character is the decimal separator, and the second is the thousands separator.

Your first request is OK because the decimal separator used in the input string is '.' and the thousands separator is ", which exactly match the characters specified in the parameter NLS.

The second query failed for the opposite reason.

  • Development of lighting and shadows settings are not functions

    While implementing a plugin to image processing, I learned something very interesting (for me) on the tones dark and light parameters of development.  The other basic tone settings (exposure, contrast, saturation, etc.) always map any one color to another simple color evenly across the image.  But the dark and light tones can map a given in multiple colors in a single image, depending on the location of the pixel color.

    For example, in a test image I made with Shadows = + 100, pixel (824 286) had its origin value of 16-bit color (0, 0, 0) transformed into (1724,1387,852).  Pixel (861 287) was also the original color (0,0,0), but it turns into a color very different (3093,2688,1316).

    Abstractly, the other the basic tone settings are functions (any input color is always the same output color), all in shadows and points strong are-to-many mappings (any color input can have several colors of output). I knew that clarity not was not a function - transformed from a pixel value would depend on neighboring pixels.  But it does appear to me that dark and light tones are not functions either.

    This property of shadows and highlights well known by experienced users of LR?  (I.e. Rob, I guess you knew that?)

    Yup - @Lr4 (PV2012) there are 3 settings using the new algorithm 'magical' from Adobe:

    * Clarity

    * Puts out

    * Shadows

    I don't know really enough to fill in many details, except to say that when you use - highlights or + shadows, he 'clarifies' highlights and/or shadows a bit, using the algorithm of the transformed of Laplace-based Adobe developed. Jeff Schewe made us a white paper on this subject in the past, but I do not know the link... For me, it is similar to the "Topaz" detail and Topaz Adjust 'adaptive' improvements - two Photoshop plugins I used regularly until the Lr4 is out (Adobe algorithm is very well done - in my opinion, better than Topaz labs, or others are doing similar things, for example, PhaseOne, DxO, Nikon,..).

    FWIW - it's one of the reasons why some people raise hell when Lr4 is out - no way to brighten the shadows using sliders base without getting the effect of clarification... That said, Eric Chan also informed us that extra Lr3 light had a similar mathematical algorithm it backup and therefore Lr4 wasn't new in this regard, only improved...

  • function black and white infrared and other settings NB not parpadean not

    Hello, I can not use the black and white infrared or other rgalages black and white because my picture is in black and white, but I do not see the change on the screen. Plug-in photoshop CS6 with United Nations UN IMAC. Thanks for your help because I despair... I think that there is a check box but I don't see that.

    Infra red (and similar) techniques attempt to simulate the effect that would lead to the film when shooting a scene when you use a black and white film special and a filter. If your image is already black and white, there is no color for the technique to vary the density to simulate the IR black and white result. You start with a color image.

  • Not displaying flash of random Questions and security settings do not

    Hey people,

    I created a Captivate 4 project with 3 water slides and a pool of about 70 questions question in which I am firing randomly into. I use IE7 and Flash 10. Publication in Flash 10. If I publish or display in the preview in a web browser, the project launches, plays the first 3 slides and then turns off when the first question should appear. Note: the summary of the project AND publish the project as a .exe launch and display all questions correctly. It ends up being a flash security problem. I went on the site of adobe and via the Adobe Flash Player Security Manager"I walked into the hand. SWF generated by captivate the file as a trust and then re-directed the published captivate project and it ran correctly. It is ... what should I do to put in place my project or flash so I can't do this for each new project that I deploy? I don't want to have users to have to go in and add what I deploy as an approved file. It's also a little confused as to why the first three slides played and he stopped the questions... seems as if she is not a file of confidence, that it wouldn't work at all.

    Thanks for any help!

    Hello again

    I think I might investigate a temporary web server to host on until things are ready. This is where it will help.

    Providing files to end users, if you copy files on you end up having to explain how to save files. Then have to walk them by setting the Flash security so they can watch properly. It becomes just a pain in the kazoo.

    If you can find a space on the server, you simply download the content and provide a link for users to view the content.

    Other than that, if you are insistent that the copy is the way to fly, I might suggest that you establish a place known where you want everyone else to copy their files. Perhaps C:\TestFolder. Then provide some instructions on how to configure the file with Flash less stringent security. Thence forward, anything that they copy in the file should need no adjustment of security.

    See you soon... Rick

  • All of a sudden I can't open attachments to emails. I get a message that the 'security settings' do not allow. Where are these settings and who put?

    I use TWC (Time Warner Cable) as my server e-mail and Firefox as my browser. I went to my emails and has attempted to open an attachment and got an error message stating "security settings prevent the download file. Well, I contacted TWC, Norton and my PC settings. It seems that Firefox is the problem! If I use another browser ie: Google and go to my email account, I have no problem. I remember recently that Firefox did a download of updates and this may be the cause of the problem.

    Thank you for your private message with the error text: "your current security settings do not allow this file to download."

    Firefox partially integrates with Internet Explorer security settings for download purposes. You can realize your Internet Explorer settings to the 'Internet' zone by following the steps described in this answer to Microsoft forums:

    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/IE/Forum/IE8-windows_other/error-message-your-current-security-settings-do/59cc236d-7baf-4552-92ff-b34b9a6942aa

    Note: Traditionally, the Internet Options dialogue box was available in the Control Panel, as well as in IE. Not sure about Windows 8.1.

    What is fix?

  • Firefox only opens and indicates that the personal information settings do not exist or are not accessible

    Firefox does not open for me to make changes in order to correct the problem. The error box simply States that personal information settings do not exist or are inaccessible. This isn't a problem on this computeror I wouldn't be able to send this message.

    This is usually caused by a problem with the file profiles.ini and the profile marked as the default value = 1 is no longer present on the hard drive.

    • Windows: '% AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\ '.
    • Linux: ~/.mozilla/firefox/
    • Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox /.
    • Remove the profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new default profile
    • Use the Profile Manager to create a new profile
    • "Select a file" allows to retrieve an existing profile, if there is always a present

    See also "create a profile":

    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile in the new profile, but be careful not to copy files corrupted to avoid transporting on the problem.

  • I have reset firefox and now everything is sitting on my desk. I want to again on my firefox profile, but I do not understand the directions on how to do it.

    Reset did not say I would lose everything--it seemed that most would still be preserved. I do not understand about the creation of the new profile, and copy everything on it. Is there an easier way to do this? I tried to restore my computer hoping that would bring back how it was, but that didn't work. I'm not an expert in computer so need baby steps on it.

    You don't need to upgrade. XP SP3 will be supported until April 2014. After that, there will be no more patches or updates, but work remains. There are still a lot of Win98 users out there.
