Capturing results from a date range where dates are concatenated with text

my issue_code column has results = OK and the date. An example would be OK20071001 where the last 8 digits is in the YYYYMMDD format.
How can i calculate the # of PO#s that had OK as their issues during a given month.
The sql below shows what i had but i get an error:
SELECT count(unique(SAP_PO_NUMBER)
FROM VENDOR_PURCHASE_ORDER
WHERE SUBSTR(ISSUE_CODE,3,8) BETWEEN
TO_CHAR('20071001', 'YYYYMMDD') AND TO_CHAR('20071101', 'YYYYMMDD')
AND ISSUE_CODE LIKE 'OK%'

I'm usually a fan of TO_DATE transformation myself. However in this case I don't feel it is neccessary. The column is already in VARCHAR2 and has a dateformat in an ordered fashion.
why not simply do this:
SELECT count(distinct SAP_PO_NUMBER)
FROM VENDOR_PURCHASE_ORDER
WHERE ISSUE_CODE LIKE 'OK200710%';This statement won't raise an error when skrewed date values are in this column. But I'm not sure if this realy is possible and which version is wanted.
'OK20071043' => Should this result in an error or not?

HT201412 what do you do when your phone numbers no longer have the contact persons name just a number. Also names are missing from the address book where contacts are.

I, too, love everything about my phone. The other day I tried to crash my Z10 by running multiple apps and having videos running in the background. Do you think my Z10 showed any signs of slowing down? Nothing doing! It ran as smooth as silk. I'm very impressed.

Is the Time Capsule wi-fi router compatible with the Nest thermostat? I've read where there are issues with the Nest and Airport Extreme (AE)? Is AE used in the Time Capsule?

I've read where there are issues with the Nest and Airport Extreme (AE)? Is AE used in the Time Capsule?
If so, i already have a wi-fi router, so can the Time Capsule simply be used for wireless backup instead of as a router if there is conflict?

A TC is fundamentally a AE with a sata chip included to drive the hard disk. Some slightly different bios to include disk functions, although most of those are also on the AE. So as a router it is 99.999% identical.
And yes, if you have another router you can easily bridge the TC and use wireless for backups and internet connection. Once you no longer route through the TC the issues with most NAT problems including port forwarding should disappear.. mostly this is due to all apple routers using NAT-PMP instead of upnp which is the near universal standard for opening ports.. without upnp apple keep their routers more exclusive.

Date Format Mask with text only...

Hi!
I have a problem with my date text item: the format mask is set to YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS and it work perfectly if the user enter only numeric character, it will validate the date correctly. But if the user enter a value only alpha (something like 'uuuuyyyy') instead of validate with the mask format it will fire an error trigger ORA-06502.
I want to know if it's possible to check if the user has enter only alpha to bypass this problem.
Also, how can a check that a date field is null. I Try with : IF :BLOCK_NAME.DATE_ITEM IS NULL THEN ...
AND ALSO with IF TO_CHAR(:BLOCK_NAME.DATE_ITEM) IS NULL THEN... and nothings seems to work.
Thanx in advance.

AFAIK, the only way to do this is to have two items. One is a hidden database item, type DATETIME, to hold the date value.
The other is a non-database character item, visible to the user. You populate it at POST-QUERY from the database field, and use an ON-VALIDATE-ITEM to copy any value entered/changed by the user over to the hidden field. If you're smart, you'll write a library procedure to do the on-validate stuff, passing it the names of the two items.
In that procedure, you can attempt to convert the entered text into a valid date using whatever date format(s) you like, only raising an error if you can't do it at all.

Can we give UNIQUE ACCESS FOR THE SPECIFIC FILE IN THE LIBRARY in SP2013? How can we remove users from SHARED WITH link where files are shared with users?

Hi,
Any help on this?
Thanks
srabon

Hi srabon,
For giving unique access for a specific file in a library, you can go to the library, and select the file , and click FILES->Shared With->ADVANCED, under PERMISSION ribbon, click ‘Stop Inheriting Permissions’, then the file will have unique permissions.
For removing the shared users for a file, firstly, like the above steps, select the file , and click FILES->Shared With->ADVANCED , make sure the file has unique access, then select the users that you want to remove, and click Remove User Persmissions
under PERMISSIONS ribbon.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Wendy

My iPhone both sends and receives messages from 2 different phones. They are registered with the same iTunes account. What can I do to stop this?

My partner and I both have iPhone 5s and an iPad. We registered all three products with the same iTunes account as we download music and movies together. I have noticed when my partner sends me a message it also appears on my phone that I have sent it AND recieved it. The same goes for when I text him. I send the message to his phone and my phone also recieves it. Facetime does the same thing. Its very strange. Does any one know what I can do to stop this from happening?

To stop this, don't use the same Apple ID on both phones for iMessage and FaceTime. (You can continue to use the same ID for iTunes; it doesn't need to be the same as the ID used for iMessage or FaceTime.)
On one of the phones, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID. Then do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

If I delete photos on my Iphone or Ipad, are they also deleted from Icloud and other devices which are synced with Icloud?

I have a number of photos on my Ipad and/or Iphone, and I have synced them with Icloud (my IMac is also synced with Icloud). I know that I can choose to synch directly with my IMac instead of with Icloud, but I would like to know what happens to the photos if I delete them from my Ipad/Iphone? I want to delete photos and movies to make more room on the devices.
I have not selected automatic syncing with Icloud for my photos.
I assume that the photos remain in Icloud until I go to Icloud to delete, but does anyone know how that is supposed to work?
Thanks

Remember that you should not store photos on iCloud. It's time and capacity limited. It holds up to 1,000 photos for no more than 30 days. So, import no. 1001 and the first one is dumped. Leave them untouched and they will be deleted from iCloud after 30 days.
You can't delete individual photos from iCloud (only reset the whole thing) so trashing from a device will not trash from iCloud.

How can I print a completed form, where there are boxes with scrolling capabilities?

There are text boxes within the form that allow people to input more information in the space provided, so the boxes allow for scrolling. I am wanting to print a completed form, all of it, but the text boxes only print what is visible.

Hello,
Unfortunately, it is not possible to print the whole form with the complete options. Only selected text can be printed in a form, as printing the document makes it flat.

Capturing Audio from DAT

Hello,
I'm trying to capture audio from a DAT deck (Tascam DA-20) into FCP HD by routing it through my JVC BR-DV600U DV deck (RCA output from DAT, RCA input to DV deck, Firewire into FCP).
The DV deck's input is set to line-in, and the audio is being routed through (audio meters on DV deck mimic those on DAT deck, and I can hear the audio through the headphones jacked into my DV deck).
However, when I try to capture the audio on FCP, I am unsuccessful, prompting the following window from FCP: "Error: Final Cut Pro HD was unable to read the movie file just captured."
Now, I use the same set up I described above to capture footage from my Beta deck into FCP with no problems (route Beta signal through DV deck and firewire it into FCP). This leads me to believe that perhaps the glitch lies within my Capture Presets.
At first, I tried to capture the signal as an Audio-Only DV NTSC 48 Khz/Non-controllable device. After that failed, I tried to create my own capture preset, but am not sure it will make a difference, as the only input choices I am given are DV Audio, Built-In Audio, and None.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Why not capture the audio content outside of FCP, check the sample rate for 48Khz/16-bit, convert if necessary, save as an AIFF file, and then import that resulting sound file into FCP?
Any good audio app, including STP will do captures.
You are probably going to need to do some cleanup on the audio anyway before you use it, so why not just use an audio app to do it beforehand?
Besides, if you have an audio device (PCI card or Firewire device) in your Mac, you can use the S/PDIF port for your connection to the DAT and do a digital transfer when you import.
As I understand the way you are doing it now, you are taking digital content from the DAT, converting it to analog for the connection into your deck, and then re-converting it into digital when you capture it back into FCP.
One big advantage of digital audio (and video) is to avoid generation loss and added noise during transfer if you go D-to-D.
If you don't have an audio card or Firewire A/D audio I/O device with S/PDIF ports in your Mac, then see if you can find a friend who has one and can do the transfer for you. Then he can give you the file on a CD-ROM.
That's what I'd do.

Script to insert date from a specified range of periods

This is my situation. There is a thing call prorate convention in EBS Oracle Fixed Assets.
I have to do a prorate rule on a daily basis.
The first date starts at year 1942. I can do it manually but to continually press TAB on my keyboard it will take me more than 4 hrs to populate all the data up to 2015.
Therefore I need a script to enter the
START_DATE
END_DATE
PRORATE_DATE
Ex
START_DATE   01-JAN-1949   END_DATE 01-JAN-1949 PRORATE_DATE 01-JAN-1949
START_DATE   02-JAN-1949   END_DATE 02-JAN-1949 PRORATE_DATE 02-JAN-1949
START_DATE   03-JAN-1949   END_DATE 03-JAN-1949 PRORATE_DATE 03-JAN-1949
START_DATE   31-DEC-2015   END_DATE 31-DEC-2015 PRORATE_DATE 31-DEC-2015

Hi,
Here's one way
INSERT INTO table_x (start_date, end_date, prorate_date)
WITH    params    AS
    SELECT DATE '1942-01-01' AS first_date -- or 1949, or whatever
    ,       DATE '2015-12-31' AS last_date
    FROM    dual
,    all_dts   AS
    SELECT first_date + LEVEL - 1 AS dt
    FROM    params
    CONNECT BY LEVEL <= 1 + last_date - first_date
SELECT   dt, dt, dt
FROM     all_dts
I hope this answers your question.
If not, please post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all tables involved, and also post the results you want from that data. Post everything right on this site, without attachments.
If you're asking about a DML statement, such as INSERT, the INSERT statements you post (if any) will the contents of the table(s) before the DML, and the results will be state of the changed table(s) when everything is finished.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using (e.g., 11.2.0.2.0).
See the forum FAQ:Re: 2. How do I ask a question on the forums?

Sort Spotlight results by creation date?

Hi All--
At work, I've recently switched from an old old version of MS Outlook to Entourage 2004, which seems much better. I'd like to archive my old mail, and use Spotlight to search it.
This works very well, except that with e-mail, the "date received" is the key date -- not the "last viewed" date that Spotlight likes to sort on. When I click on a found e-mail, sure enough the "date received" is displayed, but I can't sort on it. It's pretty frustruating when you're looking for a particular mail, and Spotlight keeps resorting them every time you open a message to see if it's the right one.
Is there a way to get the Spotlight window to sort by creation date? I'm open to Terminal hacks, etc -- any ideas?

> Is there a way to get the Spotlight window to sort by

I think I understand the question. I find the results from the Find command (command-F) are more useful when viewed in list mode. I didn't realize at first that you could do this. Try this:
1) Do command-F - search for whatever you want, doesn't matter
2) Change the View in the command area to List. (It's got three options: icons, list, or groups. Spotlight seems to default to displaying by groups.)
3) Pull down the Finder "View" Menu and select Show View Options.
4) Date Created is probably unchecked. Check it.
5) Now you should have a Date Created column in your search area. You can click on the Date Created header to sort by Date Created.
6) ... but it will come up in Groups mode next time you search. One solution is to Save your search into a smart folder (SOMETHING.savedSearch). Customize your search display how you like it. Once it's saved you can put the smart folder in your Sidebar or your Dock so it's always available.
Hope that helps - works for me.

Problem accessing results from DataService fill method

I've set up an application that gets data from a data service
configured with a java-dao adapter. If I define a DataGrid
with the
array populated by the fill method I see the data in the
grid. Cool.
So I know I've configured and coded everything correctly.
However, if I try to access the data with the following code,
it
appears my array is empty!
ray = new ArrayCollection();
ds = new DataService("assets");
ds.fill(ray);
var asset:Asset = ray[0];
This gives me an index '0' out of bounds error. I've also
tried
ray.getItemAt(0) with the same results.
How do I access and manipulate the results of a fill method
via
ActionScript? I'm currently using Beta3.

Note that it takes time to actually make the dataservice call
and retrieve the results. Your data won't be available right away.
After calling fill(), you have to wait for the "result" event of
the DataService object.

Using Labviews 6i Limited Vision capability to capture frames from DT3132 Board.

I'm wondering if anyone has used Labview 6i Limited IMAQ VI's to
capture images from a Data Translations DT3132 Board? Is it possible
to quickly create an Application without purchasing IMAQ Vision ADD-IN
Module for Labview?
Thanks,
Regis

Regis,
You have confused capturing and processing images.
The IMAQ drivers are used for capturing images using NI boards. If you are going to capture images using a different manufacturer's board, you need to find out if they have drivers for LabVIEW.
The IMAQ add-on toolkit is for processing images. With the built in tools, you can't really do any useful image processing.
