OS X uses a unique identifier so there will be no problems.

    As you can see, the submenu code links are immediately below the top level code, and are

  • How can I ensure a function is called only once in a query?

    I have a function (in a package) that returns the start date and end date to be used by my query. The query was taking bind variables but when I updated it to use the function calls it slowed down a lot.
    I tried creating an inline view that selects the start and end date and joins with the other table but this does not help. I thought the inline view would only be run once but this is not the case. I have my function print out a value from a sequence and i see that it is called thousands of times.
    Why would the procedure call be so much slower?
    How can I ensure that the function is only called once in the query?
    This is what I currently have:
    SELECT col1, col2
    FROM aTable,
    (SELECT proc.getStartdate startDate,
    proc.getEndDate endDate
    FROM dual) dt
    WHERE aTable.theDate >= dt.startDate
    AND aTable.theDate <= dt.endDate
    Thanks

    They get the begining and ending dates to be used by the query.
    My application uses the Oracle Portal. Each user can select their date range and it is stored as a user preference. The portal API provides funcitons for retrieving the preferences and I have encapsulated it in my procedure so the developers do not need knowledge of the portal. If they just restrict their queries to the dates returned by this function they will get the needed data.
    Our work around as been to pass these date variables around as bind variables.

  • HT204022 If I delete my photo stream photos off of my iPhone will they also delete from my photo stream on my MacBook Pro? If so how can I ensure that those photos are saved?

    If I delete my photo stream photos off of my iPhone will they also delete from my photo stream on my MacBook Pro? If so how can I ensure that those photos are saved?

    They will not be deleted if they have been imported to your iPhoto library.  To ensure this happens automatically, go to iPhoto>Preferences>iCloud and check Automatic Import:
    To confirm that they have been imported to your library, click on iCloud on the left sidebar of iPhoto, open your My Photo Stream album on the right, then Control-Click on your pictures.  If you see "Show in Library" in the pop-up, the picture has been imported to your library and you can safely delete it from photo stream.

  • I have chosen to fil migrate from old ibook to new MacBook Pro using Time Machine after establishing admin account. I now have two admin. accounts and wish to delete the later one and transfer files manually. I am worried I will loose both accounts. ??

    Use the Office for Mac and ignore using Parallels for that. If you have PC only apps you have to run that are MS Windows only then consider Parallels. Just transfer your main PC, using Migration Assistant.  If you don't know how then simply read over Pondini's article called Lion or Mountain Lion Setup Assistant tips and look for the section on migrating from a PC. Millions have done what you are about to, it's far from leading edge these days, if you go to an Apple Store to purchase they will offer this as a service, something you might be interested in.

  • My iPhone will not send an iMessage. It sends everything as SMS. I have ensured that my Apple ID is signed in and that my phone number is enabled for use in both FaceTime and iMessage

    My iPhone will not send an iMessage. It sends everything as SMS. I have ensured that my Apple ID is signed in and that my phone number is enabled for use in both FaceTime and iMessage

    I had the same problem. I went in and added my email address to iMessage and deleted the text to my friends that have iPhones and sent another to test it and it worked. Only thing is now my non iPhone friends don't receive my pic text. I had to turn off iMessage for it to work. Apple needs to fix this ASAP!

    Well if you got the Phone Pggray43 at a Local Corporate store in your Area)  you should be able to return it as long as you have all the contents.!  Phone, Charger and any other accessories that came with it the Box of Course.. As long as you have not went past the 14 Day return.. the store can go over what you used as in Air Time and Data..
    Now if you've went past the 14 Day return you be Liable to pay a E.T.F =  Early Termination Fee the fee for this is around $300 so hopefully you have not went past the 14 Day return window the Manager if Available is the one I would talk to tell them your on Social Security and you just can't afford a phone as this I'm sure they'll work with you to get something solved..
    Hope ya have Good Luck.! b33

  • HT4436 I have a laptop Mac and an IPad, and would like to transfer pictures, videos, etc from the ipad to the Mac but not from the Mac to the IPad, how can I set up the iCloud in both devises to do so?

    I have a laptop Mac and an Ipad, and would like to transfer pictures, videos, etc from the ipad to the Mac but not from the Mac to the Ipad, how can I set up the iCloud in both devises to do so?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your best method would be to connect via USB and transfer that way, since videos are not transferred using photostream.
    However you can stop photos on your mac being added to photostream in the iPhoto preferences > photostream by unchecking the automatic upload box.

  • How can i ensure that the time capsule back up all my data?

    how can i ensure that the time capsule back up all my data and no any data missed during the back up? becz i was backing up my mac to time capsule for the first time and it takes only 5 hourse for 279GB which is doesnt make sense
    any idea, how to ensure that all my data been backed up

    well this tells you why you are having issues.. since you have a filevault and unless you are logged on as that user TM has no way to backup the vault.
    so that is why the backup is so small.
    And you cannot remove the file vault because the disk is too small.. you are in catch 22..
    You cannot backup and you cannot remove the vault..
    Login as the user who has the file vault and copy the files off the computer to a directory on the TC.. Then just delete the files on the computer.. that will then allow you to remove the file vault.
    But never  will I ever use file vaults so I am being theoretical .. please read it up yourself.
    http://pondini.org/TM/25.html
    You are not doing the background reading you need to understand what you are doing..
    read the whole of pondini's info.. or at least skim it so you know what is there.
    Avoid like the plague file vaults..
    When disks go belly up, as they always do.. your files will be lost. Somewhere they need to be stored in the clear.. so why bother .. put better security on the computer and forget vaults.

  • Ensuring that variable is initialized only once in a movieclip

    Guys, what is the way to ensure that variable is initialized only once in each instance of a movieclip?
    I tried:
    if (!isLocked)
        trace("setting up isLocked variable");
          var isLocked:Boolean = new Boolean(false);//I need this variable to be initialized only once for each instance of this movieclip and to value of false
    but this doesn't work.
    Any ideas?

    Note that new Boolean() makes zero sense. And this is the beef I have with the convention of checking for existence with !someVariable. Because inexperienced programmers will use that logic with Boolean (which always exists if you're checking it, but is either true or false) or Numbers, which might exist with a value of zero and will make that expression false.
    Try
    if (!this.hasOwnProperty('isLocked')) {
         var isLocked:Boolean = true;
    This may not work because of variable hoisting in AS. It's hard to know what the addFrameScript code will do to this in the background.
    Note that you can avoid this by using a proper Class with accessors and mutators and avoiding timeline code.

  • I have a new iMac running iTunes 10.4 in OS 10.6.8, and a new Mac Air running iTunes 10.4 in Lion.  I was able to transfer all my music etc. from the iMac onto the Air, but cannot figure out how to get the Playlists from the iMac to the Air.  iTunes Help

    I have a new iMac running iTunes 10.4 in OS 10.6.8, and a new Mac Air running iTunes 10.4 in Lion.  I was able to transfer all my music etc. from the iMac onto the Air, but cannot figure out how to get the Playlists from the iMac to the Air.  iTunes Help says File >Library >Export playlist and choose XML, or to save a copy of all your playlists, File > Library > Export Library, "the Exported info is saved in XML format."  Then it says, "to import an iTunes playlist, File > Library > Import Playlist".  Now I am assuming I do that import part on the Air, but when I try it doesn't recognize anything that can be imported - what am I missing??? Aside from a clue...

    Thanks, Jim, for taking the time, but the reply is unfortunately vague in the exact area of my confusion!  "you need to copy that file to your new computer..."  Well, the Import/Export instructions make it seem as if the two computers should be able to communicate this file thru wifi, but that's the linkage I can't seem tocreate with Import/Export.  Should I instead email a copy to myself (thats what applecare suggested)?  Copy it to and from a thumb drive?  But then place the file where?  And the article was helpful, but should I be trying to move the Library file or the Library.xml file (as iTunes Help suggests)?  Sorry to be so clueless about it...I suppose I buy Apple in the hopes of not having to think about this stuff, which approach seems not to be serving me well. Thanks again for your time!

  • I own a ipad mini and a iPod touch , both configured on the same apple account, how do I ensure that my data on the ipad mail,notes,pics etc is not visible/accessible on the ipod

    I own a ipad mini and a iPod touch both configured on the same id
    How do I ensure that my data on the ipad mail,notes,pics etc is not visible/accessible on the iPod touch when the iPod is connected to a wi fi connection

    Mail: do not have the same account loaded onto the two devices.
    Photos: go into Settings->Photos & Camera->and turn off photo stream.
    everything else, sign out of the Apple ID on the device you dont want to be visible.
    good luck

  • I am selling my Mac Mini. I recently purchased OS X Lion. When I restore to factory settings, how can I ensure that the operating system will still be Lion, and not the original operating system, which I believe was Snow Leopard?

    I am selling my Mac Mini. I recently purchased OS X Lion. When I restore to factory settings, how can I ensure that the operating system will still be Lion, and not the original operating system, which I believe was Snow Leopard?

    If you bought Lion from the App Store, you can't legally or practically transfer it, because it's tied to your Apple ID. Reinstall the original software from the discs that came with the machine.
