How can I use home sharing between our iphones (create playlists from both accounts at once)

How can I use home sharing between our iphones, so that we can create playlists with songs from both of our libraries? We share a Macbook Pro (separate accounts) and each have the new iphone, but when I have my iphone and try to create a new playlist, I can only grab songs from one account. Is there a way to create a playlist using both accounts since we are sharing?
Does it have to be created within iTunes first on our Mac?

The short answer: because Home Sharing isn't designed for sharing apps, and apps aren't designed to be shared.
The longer answer: Think of it like this...
You download some music in iTunes. With Home Sharing, another user can listen to it by streaming it over the network. But the data itself is on your computer. If you turn off the computer or take it off the network, the other user can't access it.
But if you send another user the app, they aren't just streaming the data- they installed it on their iOS device. Because they weren't the one that purchased it, such a transfer could easily be considered "piracy" or "stealing," and nobody likes that (least of all, Apple).
When iTunes sees this app, it obviously recognized it, as if saying, "Hey, how did you get this app on your device, if I have no record of you purchasing/downloading it from the iTunes store?"

Use of cursors insted of select statements

could any one please explain what is the advantage of using cursors instead of simple select statements
thanks
siby

A benefit to using an explicit cursor rather than a select statement, is for the NO_DATA_FOUND exception. Its kind of like a free IF statment. IF no data is found, then stop.
if you write a select statement, and no data is returned, you SHOULD code for the NO_DATA_FOUND exception. Often people say, "i'll ALWAYS get a row returned". but you should always cover your code "just in case". so you must code an exception...
declare
v_var varchar2(1);
procedure do_something(p_parm varchar2) is
begin
null;
end do_something;
procedure log_error is
begin
null;
end log_error;
begin <<main>>
do_something('x');
begin <<selectblock>>
select dummy
into v_var
from dual
where dummy = 'a';
do_something(v_var);
exception
when no_data_found then
log_error;
end selectblock;
do_something (v_var||'abc');
end main;
if you use an explicit cursor instead, you don't need to code for the NO_DATA_FOUND. If an explicit cursor opens and finds no rows, there are simply no rows. of course, you don't need a loop if you expect only 1 row returned under normal circumstances.
BTW, don' forget that SQL%ROWCOUNT and your_cursor%ROWCOUNT are not initialized. There is a null, until a row is successfully fetched. therefore if no rows are returned at all, %ROWCOUNT is NULL.
declare
v_var varchar2(1);
cursor my_cur is
select dummy
from dual
where dummy = 'a';
procedure do_something(p_parm varchar2) is
begin
null;
end do_something;
procedure log_error is
begin
null;
end log_error;
begin << main>>
for cur_rec in my_cur loop
dbms_output.put_line('inside');
begin <<loop_block>>
if nvl(my_cur%rowcount,0) > 1 then
do_something(cur_rec.dummy);
else
log_error;
end if;
end loop_block;
end loop;
end main;

Using pop-up value in select statement

Hello.
I want to select a value from a pop-up box and then use that value in a select statement for another pop-up. Is that possible?
The first pop-up is P39_PIIN_CALL but it is not recognized in the second pop-up when I use it in the select statemnt... select * from table where PIIN = :P39_PIIN_CALL. I get nothing back because it has no idea what :P39_PIIN_CALL is. I'm desperate and on a timeline.
Thanks,
Mark E

Hi,
After fetching the value from first popup the page should submit so that the value is availble to the second popup..
Edit the first popup.. and in HTML Form Element Attributes and enter onchange="doSubmit('MyRequest')"

Limitations in using a function within a select statement

I have a function which retrieves various data elements from the
database and formats it accordingly. The data (varchar2)
returned could be in excess of 2,000 characters length.
I need to use the returned data as part of a view. I am able to
use the function in a "select" statement, but when I use it with
returned data in excess of 2,000 chars, I get the following
error:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error
This error is occurring whenever the returned data is in excess
of 2,000 characters.
Is there an alternative method to what I am proposing, I have
tried alternative data types but if I am able to use it in a
"select" statement, I get the above error when the returned
length exceeds 2,000 chars.
Thanks
Peter

Can I use a C/C++ xml parser in my java program?

Hi,
How can I use a C/C++ xml parser in my java program?
Elvis.

You would still need to convert the XML data structure into a Java data structure to import it into Java.
Don't assume you need C++ to do anything. I woudl write it in Java first, then profile the application to see where the bottle necks are and then optimise them
Don't optimise code unless you have proof it needs to be optimised.
If you want to improve the speed of reading XML, try XMLbooster

i am creating an FM where i have to update an infotype.
here is my code:
IF sy-ucomm EQ lc_route.
    gwa_p0490-zzeval = zneweval.                  <<<<this already has a value
SELECT <what should i select here?>
      CALL FUNCTION 'HR_EMPLOYEE_ENQUEUE'
        EXPORTING
          number             = pa0490-pernr
      IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
      CALL FUNCTION 'HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION'
        EXPORTING
          infty                  = ???
          number                 = ???
          SUBTYPE                = ???
          record                 = ???

      IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
      ENDIF.
    ENDLOOP.
    LEAVE TO SCREEN 0.
ENDif.
here's what i wanted to do:
i have a push button with a function code: 'ROUTE', and when i clicked that one,
infotype pa490-zzeval should be updated with the value of ZNEWEVAL.
questions:
1. how can i update it? whats the select statement should i use?
2. ZNEWEVAL value is obtained and stored in P0494. how can i link these two infotypes together in order to update the other infotype?
thanks for future responses.

Can I use oracle to build our webiste for free?

Hi all~~
I am a student in unversity and learning oracle database technology.
Moreover,I hope to put it into practise.
Therefore,I wanna use oracle and Java EE to build our own website for our club(an organization in our school) and we will deploy it to our own server.
Can we use oracle without paying anything?

According to License Terms on OTN, you can has limited license to use the programs only for the purpose of developing, testing, prototyping and demonstrating your application, and not for any other purpose. So it sounds to me if this is purely for learning and internal use without commercial and production purpose, you don't have to pay. But Oracle and it's sales rep will have the final words. Better double check to confirm.

Cannot use Is Null in record selection

I cannot use Is Null in a record selection expert. I use the same wording in excel and SQL QA with no issues.
I need all records that are not '5 - Project' including Nulls. Once I put the criteria of '5 - Project' it excludes the null records.
{@dtCompleted} = {?Completed_Date_ Range} and
{TASKS.TYPE} = "Information Technology" and
{TASKS.PRIORITY} <>'5 - Project'
This does not give me the nulls for the Priority field.
The one I use in QA or in Excel is
{@dtCompleted} = {?Completed_Date_ Range} and
{TASKS.TYPE} = "Information Technology" and
({TASKS.PRIORITY} <>'5 - Project' or {TASKS.PRIORITY} is null)
This gives me the "The ) is missing" error. Help!

(isnull({TASKS.PRIORITY}) or {TASKS.PRIORITY} <>'5 - Project')
and
@dtCompleted} = {?Completed_Date_ Range} and
{TASKS.TYPE} = "Information Technology";
Make sure that under File | Report Options or under File | Options the the box next to "Convert Database Null values to default' is NOT checked.
{TASKS.PRIORITY} NOT EQUAL TO '5 - Project'. Use the Greater than and less than symbols.

HT4557 We have a wired in network in our house, we also have an apple airport for use with my ipad/our ipods/iphones, etc. Can we use home sharing if our desktops do not have wifi?

Hi,
this is my first time on the support board, so hopefully I'm doing this correctly. We have 3 desktop computers in our family, which are wired in with ethernet cables. We also use the cables with our laptops (we have various connections throughout the house) I have an iphone, and an ipad, my boys have ipod touches. I purchased an airport router to use when I'm using my ipad, etc. The boys and I would like to be able to share apps that we have purchased. I'm wondering if there is a way to use home sharing in our situation.
thanks!

select *
from (select myrows.*, rownum rn
          from (select acc as account,
                       es as identity,

                  from mytable
                 where emp_id = ? as my site from myview where ert_id=? and chek=?apparently the syntax is not correct and by that you are missing some comma in your column, ? question mark symbol will not be recognize, and some ')' closed parenthesis.
are you using a report builder that you want to use a placeholder column?

How to use variables in an sql select statement.

Hi, I have seen examples using the update, but nothing using a select statement.
I have four variables I am getting from drop down menus in my JSP I set the user selected items to strings.
How would I create the select statement like this:
.String XName = request.getParameter("UserInputX");
rsInResult = stmtInResult.executeQuery("SELECT ColumxX FROM TableZ WHERE ColumnX = XName")Obviously it tries to read "XName" as a column and of course can't find it, how would I set it up to have it see the Value of XName and not the literal XName.

read this:
rsInResult = stmtInResult.executeQuery("SELECT ColumxX FROM TableZ WHERE ColumnX = '"+XName+"')
{code}
better way is PreparedStatement:
{code}
     // example code to change password to an user in the USERS table
     String newPWD = "my password";
     String user = "luxjava";
     PreparedStatement prepStat;
     String updatePWD = "UPDATE LOGISTIC.USERS "+
                              "SET logistic.users.password = ? "+
                              "WHERE logistic.users.username = ?";
     prepStat = ql.conDb.prepareStatement(updatePWD);
     prepStat.setString(1, newPwd);
     prepStat.setString(2, user);
     int zeroNotFound = prepStat.executeUpdate();
     if (zeroNotFound==0)
          ql.conDb.rollback();
          prepStat.close();
     else
          ql.conDb.commit();
          prepStat.close();
{code}

Problems with Hints in abap code to use an index in a Select statement

We have DB2 for Linux Unix and Windows 9.5 as DB system.
How can I fix this?
Thanks a lot.

You should use a

    AND ltak~queue EQ ip_queue
%_HINTS DB6 '<IXSCAN TABLE=''LTAP'' INDEX=''"LTAP~M"'' />'.
In note 868888 there is a sample for a join.
SELECT A~TABSPACE
FROM TADB6 AS A
