Any way to check for errors in an external table besides the log?

For example if you have an external table where a column is defined with a CHAR(1) but when you run a SELECT on it, the mapping comes up with trying to put a CHAR(2) into that single space. The only way I'm aware to see if something is wrong is to check the .log file. Is there any other way to check for an error message or count?
I'm mounting external tables and copying data over to a 'holding' table to be able to work on the data before it's moved into the actual production table with PL/SQ code. If the stored proc can determine what rows are bad or missing or even that there just are some rows with problems then hand back to the app, it would greatly improve things.
Thanks.

No other way than to check for the existance of a .bad file, then have a look see at the .log then?

    Is there any way to check your roaming minutes while traveling internationally?

    Hi Icebreaker
    Thanks for getting back to me.
    I successfully upgraded the Firmware to the latest available on the site - I don't have the camera here to confirm the vesion number but the upgraded Firmware was reported in the setup application.
    WPA is AES, which is all that the Thomson router seems to support and I did notice that the camera was looking for TKIP. However, I have tried with WEP and no security to test, with no luck either. I am testing with the camera within 10 feet or so of the router and getting an error message re. checking network condition and the Network doesn't seem to even 'See' the camera as such and the Wireless LED is not lighting up. That's why I was wondering if the Wireless was faulty.
    thanks again

  • FlexBuilder not checking for errors in AS files

    FlexBuilder 2 isn't finding any errors in AS files that
    aren't explicitly referenced in an MXML file for anyone in my
    office. This seems like a pretty basic function everyone needs, so
    I can't imagine it's not a huge bug....
    To be more specific, I have a flex project set up with two
    files in the root named SimpleTest.as and test.mxml. If test.mxml
    is empty, I can write absolutely anything into the .as file and
    flex builder won't locate any errors in real time. As soon as I
    instantiate an instance of SimpleTest in my mxml file, however,
    flex builder suddenly reports all of the problems in the problems
    view, and we're good to go.
    This is a huge pain from a development standpoint - I don't
    want to have to keep an instantiation of a class just to find if
    there are any errors in it. And if I'm not able to find errors in
    real/development time, FlexBuilder becomes a glorified text editor
    with the only real useful AS feature being code hints.
    If the project is an ActionScript project instead of a Flex
    project, flex builder will detect errors on AS files if they're in
    the root package, but files nested in folders aren't checked for
    errors unless an instance of the class exists in another
    root-package object.
    Is there anything we can do to fix this? Is anyone else
    seeing this error?
    Thanks.

    Sorry guys, but the way Flex ignores unreferenced .as files
    is just plain wrong, and it's also inconsistent. There... thats the
    synopsis of this post, now the explanation.
    In our app, we want to have a list of menu items that are
    read in from the database. Each item consists of the man-readable
    text and the name of a class that is normally derived from
    TextWindow. The user clicks on a menuitem and the window appears.
    Flex provides the function flash.utils.getDefinitionByName()
    which will return the class definition for the given class name
    supplied as a string. But it will only work if the class is loaded
    i.e it has been referenced somewhere. To get around this, I have
    had to create my own map of class names to class definitions. In
    other words, I've had to rewrite getDefinitionByName.
    quote:
    Well, it makes sense to me that the IDE should ignore a file
    if you're not actually using it.
    Yes, but what the IDE doesn't know is that you may want to
    create an instance of the class
    without referencing it directly. getDefintionByName is the
    proof that there was/is some intention to be able to do that. IMO
    this is a reasonable thing to want to do, e.g if functionality is
    enabled/disabled according to user security, then one would expect
    to be able to dynamically create classes at runtime.
    getDefinitionByName() should allow me to do that. After all, the
    function exists to begin with, so it should work. But it only
    partially works because the IDE doesn't load up unreferenced .as
    code.
    If the .as file appears in the project, it should be
    compiled. Period. The fact that it is not referenced should not
    determine whether or not it is compiled. getDefinitionByName would
    then work as I reasonably expected it to work and allow dynamic
    creation of classes.
    The
    Inconsistency I mentioned earlier is therefore that Flex
    offers the getDefinitionByName but renders it pretty useless as you
    have to reference the class anyway.
    Finally all the other development languages I have used will
    compile all source in the project regardless of whether or not it
    is referenced. This includes C++, C#.NET and Visual Basic. So Flex
    is definitely the odd one out here.

  • What is the easiest way to check for internet connection in C#?

    Hi!
    I searched a lot but I didn't get my answer. I'm looking for the easiest way to check for internet connection. Can you help me?
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi Pouya Ebrahimzadeh,
    I suggest you could connect a site to check if it can be opened.
    Public Shared Function CheckForInternetConnection() As Boolean
    Try
    Using client = New WebClient()
    Using stream = client.OpenRead("https://msdn.microsoft.com/")
    Return True
    End Using
    End Using
    Catch
    Return False
    End Try
    End Function
    If you have any other concern regarding this issue, please feel free to let me know.

  • Is there any way to check rc.conf without restarting the machine?

    Hi everybody,
    I've VPS running with Arch. It was preinstalled with very, very old versiol so I've upgraded everything, updated rc.conf by hand but still never restarted completely. So my question is - is there any way to check that the server will boot up without issues? Is there any way to check that rc.conf is completely valid?

    peets, thanks! It seems to be ok at this point.
    tomk, understood... Well, I'll paste it here maybe somebody could look throught for some possible incompability problems from old version:
    LOCALE="en_US.utf8"
    HARDWARECLOCK="localtime"
    TIMEZONE="Europe/Vilnius"
    KEYMAP="us"
    CONSOLEFONT=
    CONSOLEMAP=
    USECOLOR="yes"
    MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes"
    MOD_BLACKLIST=()
    MODULES=()
    USELVM="no"
    HOSTNAME="server"
    DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond sshd nginx mysqld @postfix php-fpm @svnse
    rve @pure-ftpd)
    lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
    INTERFACES=( "lo" "venet0" "venet0_0" )
    venet0="venet0 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.255 broadcast 0.0.0.0"
    rt_venet0="-net 191.255.255.1 netmask 255.255.255.255 dev venet0"
    rt_default="default gw 191.255.255.1"
    ROUTES=( "rt_venet0" "rt_default" )
    venet0_0="venet0:0 79.98.27.163 netmask 255.255.255.255 broadcast 0.0.0.0"
    The most important is to bring networking up after restart :-) last lines from "lo=..." is from old rc.conf so I'm not sure if this is compatible with newest Arch.
    Thank you for help, guys!

    is there any way to check
    "27/12/2009 10:12:43" > "27/12/2004 11:20:12"
    SimpleDateFormat does not have a suitable method for this. its kind of validation check.
    any input ?

    Convert the two strings into Date object, andcompare
    the long value of those.Or use the date after and before methods. :)Bah, that's too easy ;)

  • Checking for errors in application item computation (at page level)

    I have a conditional computation used to set the value of an application-level item.
    In the condition, I need to check to see if the action (button-press to initiate DML processing) generated an error (eg cannot delete row because of child records). I don't need to catch/handle any specific errors, I just need to know if an error occurred.
    What do I check for? I've seen references on the forum to hidden page items Pxx_msg and Pxx_err, but I've played around with them, and apparently don't know how they're set.
    Another thought I had is to create a before-computation process that checks to see if there is some sort of error/exception, but I'm not having luck w/ this either.
    Ideas?
    Thanks,
    C

    Max -- I appreciate you helping me to clarify this issue. I need to track which database tables have had data changes committed to them in the course of the app running. My thought is to track this in an application item (a list of changed tables), and check/set the item as needed when delete/create/apply changes buttons are pressed. But if a DML statement fails, I don't want to add the table to the list of modified tables.
    When I was setting the app item in a computation, it appeared that (like you said) I was trying to check for errors before the process had executed. (I'm also not sure I was checking for errors in the correct manner.) Regardless, the result was that the table got added to the list even when the delete operation failed because of child records.
    What I'm doing now appears to work (and sorry, I can't actually access the app this morning, the server is down, so I may not be able to communicate this as clearly as I'd like). If I recall, yes, I'm setting the item in a post comp/validation process. I'm still not doing any error checking, but it appears that if there is an error, the process isn't executing: the item is definitely not getting set.
    Can you clarify what you mean when you say that "all of this will execute before the processes". Do you mean that comps and page processes will execute before DML is executed on the database?
    Thanks,
    Carol

  • Is there any way to check the age of an iphone when buyinga used unit?

    im buying a used iphone off kijiji and the owner said its 4 months old, is ther any way to check this to be fact?

    Unfortunately, no. That link will tell you if the phone has been reported stolen, but it has no way of knowing if the phone has been hacked, either physically or via software.
    The other thing to watch out for is sometimes a shady seller will tell you a serial number that isn't the same as the phone you eventually get.
    A high percentage of iPhones sold over the Internet are hacked or jailbroken, and many of them are also stolen.

    Reformatting and zeroing out might keep a drive going a bit longer, but once bad blocks become noticeable, it's not a drive you should trust any longer.

  • Is there any way to search for a term using the Firefox search field, and have the results automatically open in a new tab?

    Is there any way to search for a term using the Firefox search field, and have the results automatically open in a new tab? When there was support for Google Toolbar, I was able to do this; now, whenever I want to search for something, I have to open a new tab to do it, and cut-and-paste my search into the search field in the new tab. I used to be able to highlight, drag, and drop something into the search field and have it automatically open in a new tab. This is enough for me to switch to Chrome . . .

    Set a preference to have searches from the Search Bar (upper right) automatically open all searches in a new tab

    #if you see a warning, accept it (promise to be careful)
    #Filter = '''browser.search.openintab'''

    About Google toolbar............
    Google decided that they will no longer produce the Google Toolbar for Firefox 5 and newer version. It is best to move on to other alternatives than to try any "hacks" to the toolbar that may or may not perform in the future. Future versions of Google toolbar will only work with IE7-9. Google Toolbar is not available on any other browser, even Google's own browser.
