Can we change system date from sql prompt

hi everyone
can someone tell if we can change the system date from the sql
prompt??

I don't think that the date/time last modified is accessible. You could use the SummaryInfo of the report to maintain this information yourself. This is part of the RAS SDK. There is a comments section available that you could use for this.

Can we change the system date using Sql

can we change the system date using Sql statement..
can anyone help
Tariq.

There is an initialization parameter called FIXED_DATE which lets you set a fixed sysdate for testing purposes, and you can alter that date using the ALTER SYSTEM command, but as implied by the name you are setting a data/time that doesn't change. Since the normal sysdate is derived from the O/S it cannot be altered through SQL

How can I migrate data from SQL Server 6,5 to Oracle 8?

We have a web site based on Microsoft SQL Server 6.5.Now we plan
to migrate the database to Oracle 8.
We have redesigned the tables structure and created tables under
Oracle 8, so we only need to migrate data from SQL Server.
We've exported data from SQL Server to text files.
How can we import data from files and restore to Oracle tables.
Is there a solution which let us to import data for particular
table columns,not all columns?
We'll be appreciated if somene can give suggestions.

Best way to push change data from sql server to windows/web application

i apologized that i do not know should i ask this question in this forum or not.
i have win apps which will load all data initially from db and display through grid but from the next time when any data will change in db or any data will be inserted newly in db then only change or newly inserted data need to be pushed from db side to
my win apps. now only sql dependency class is coming to my mind but there is a problem regarding sql dependency class that it notify client but do not say which data is updated or inserted.
so i am looking for best guidance and easy way to achieve my task. what will be the best way to push data from sql server to win or web client.
there is two issue
1) how to determine data change or data insert. i guess that can be handle by trigger
2) next tough part is how very easily push those data from sql server end to win apps end.
so looking for expert guide. thanks

Hello,
Yes, you can create DML trigger on INSERT and UPDATE to get the changed data into a temp table. And then query the temp table from application.
If you are use SQL Server 2008 or later version, you can also try to use
Change data capture, which
can track insert, update, and delete activity that is applied to a SQL Server table and store the changed values on the Change Table.

How can i convert the data from mutiple-table to the other database(MSSQL)?

Dears,
How can i convert the data from mutiple-table to the other database such as MS-SQL?
I have a third party system based on MS-SQL 2000.
Now we want to make a integration between SAP R/3(Oracle) and SQL server.
When my user releases the purchase order in R/3, the application we coded will convert the releated data to the temp database on the SQL server.
But i don't know which tools will help me reach the purpose. BAPI, LSMW, IDoc... ???
Would anybody tell me which way is better and how to do?
Thanks a lot!
Kevin Wang

Hello Kevin,
The question to use which method depend on your detail requirements. If you use BAPI, you need to find which Bapi can provide the data you want. Bapi normally use as a function called by external system. So you need to develop an external program like VB/Java to call this Bapi and move it to SQL. LSMW is use when you want to upload data from an external system to SAP. So it does not serve your requirement. Idoc can be use to export data to an external system. Again like Bapi, you need to find what Idoc can provide the data you want. However, it does not any programming from the external system. If I were you, based on your requirements, I think writing an Abap program that read the data you want and download it to NT/SQL server will be faster and easier.

How can I extract the data from Xstring .

Hi Gurus ,
How can I extract the data from a XSTRING .
I have to get the data which is filled in the survey form the data is getting saved in form of xstring .
Someone told me that there is a standard FM for that . but I am not able to find .
Please reply with the FM in case some one knows about it .
Thanks in advance .

The following code works as of 7.0 (in any SAP system):
FORM XSTRING_TO_STRING USING input TYPE xstring CHANGING output TYPE string.
TYPES : BEGIN OF ty_struc,
          line TYPE c LENGTH 100,
        END OF ty_struc.
DATA lt_char TYPE TABLE OF ty_struc.
DATA length TYPE i.
length = xstrlen( input ) / cl_abap_char_utilities=>charsize.
CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'
EXPORTING
    buffer                = input
tables
    binary_tab            = lt_char.
CONCATENATE LINES OF lt_char INTO output RESPECTING BLANKS.
output = output(length).
ENDFORM.

How can I change the date format in Reminders and in Notes?

How can I change the date format in both Notes and Reminders? Preference on Imac and Settings in IOS do not allow me to change the format in those 2 apps.
I Like to see 10oct rather than 10/10, as an example.

pierre
I do not have Mavericks or iOS - but the first thing I would do is reset the defaults - I'll use Mavericks as an example
From If the wrong date or time is displayed in some apps on your Mac - Apple Support
OS X Yosemite and Mavericks
    Open System Preferences.
    From the View menu, choose Language & Region.
    Click the Advanced button.
    Click the Dates tab.
    Click the Restore Defaults button.
    Click the Times tab.
    Click the Restore Defaults button.
    Click OK.
    Quit the app where you were seeing incorrect dates or times displayed.
    Open the app again, and verify that the dates and times are now displayed correctly.
Then customize to taste - OS X Mavericks: Customize formats to display dates, times, and more
OS X Mavericks: Customize formats to display dates, times, and more
Change the language and formats used to display dates, times, numbers, and currencies in Finder windows, Mail, and other apps. For example, if the region for your Mac is set to United States, but the format language is set to French, then dates in Finder windows and email messages appear in French.
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Language & Region.
    Choose a geographic region from the Region pop-up menu, to use the region’s date, time, number, and currency formats.
    To customize the formats or change the language used to display them, click Advanced, then set options.
    In the General pane, you can choose the language to use for showing dates, times, and numbers, and set formats for numbers, currency, and measurements.
    In the Dates and Times panes, you can type in the Short, Medium, Long, and Full fields, and rearrange or delete elements. You can also drag new elements, such as Quarter or Milliseconds, into the fields.
    When you’re done customizing formats, click OK.
    The region name in Language & Region preferences now includes “Custom” to indicate you customized formats.
To undo all of your changes for a region, choose the region again from the Region pop-up menu. To undo your changes only to advanced options, click Advanced, click the pane where you want to undo your changes, then click Restore Defaults.
To change how time is shown in the menu bar, select the “Time format” checkbox in Language & Region preferences, or select the option in Date & Time preferences.
Here's the result AppleScript i use to grab the " 'Short Date' ' + ' 'Short Time' " to paste into download filenames - works good until I try to post it here - the colon " : " is a no-no but is fine in the Finder
Looks like iOS Settings are a bit less robust
- Date/Time formats are displayed according to 'tradition' of your region > http://help.apple.com/ipad/8/#/iPad245ed123

To fatch the data from sql to excel ??? any idea....

dear all,
my problem is - i want to retrive the data from sql server to excel sheet... can any one suggest the idea what to do ???
thanks.

You can open two connections. One to SQL Server (you can use a thin or JDBC-ODBC bridge), the other to your Excel spreadsheet using the JDBC-ODBC bridge. You could query the SQL Server database, massage and format your data, then write it to Excel. Excel works with a very limited set of SQL. Here is a program from a post by Tim Vickers that others sounded happy to have. I'm reposting here for your convenience. I have not personally run this program, so please use it at your own risk.
import java.sql.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;
* Name: Excel.java
* Purpose: To demonstrate how to use ODBC and Excel to create
* a table,
* insert data into it, and select it back out.
* Version: Developed using JDK 1.3, but also works with JDK
* 1.2.2
* Instructions:
* 1) Create a new Excel spreadsheet
* 2) Create a new ODBC data source that points to this
* spreadsheet
* a) Go to Control Panel
* b) Open "ODBC Data sources (32-bit) (wording may be
* slightly
* different for different platforms)
* c) Under "User DSN" tab, press "Add" button
* d) Select the "Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls)" and
* press
* "Finish" button
* e) Enter "Data Source Name" of "TestExcel"
* f) Press "Select Workbook" button
* g) Locate and select the spreadsheet you created in
* Step 1
* h) Unselect the "Read Only" checkbox
* i) Press "Ok" button
* 3) Compile and run Excel.java
* 4) Open Excel spreadsheet and you will find a newly
* created
* sheet, GOOD_DAY, with three rows of data.
* Notes:
* If you want to select data from a spreadsheet that was
* NOT
* created via JDBC-ODBC (i.e. you entered data manually
* into
* a spreadsheet and want to select it out), you must
* reference
* the sheet name as "[sheetname$]".
* When you create the table and insert the data using
* Java, you
* must reference the sheet name as "sheetname".
* Also, do not have the spreadsheet open when you are
* running
* the program. You can get locking conflicts.

How to open notepad from sql prompt?

Hi to all
can anyone please let me know how to open notepad from sql prompt.
I tried ed command but message appears " Cannot create save file "afiedt.buf"
thanks in advance

Create a SQL folder on your desktop (in your documents folder, or whatever desktop location you have read and write access to).
Change the +Working Directory+ of the SQL*Plus shortcut to this SQL folder you have created (via editing the properties of the shortcut).
Launch SQL*Plus via that shortcut.
It will now run from that SQL directory. This means that it will have read and write access to the current directory (allowing it to create the +afiedt.buf+ file for example). It also means that you can save your SQL scripts in this directory and execute these from the SQL*Plus command line, without having to specify a path.
