HI all,
Can I check the date when a column is added to a table in Oracle?

If not with Auditing as suggested by Satish then you have to go by the hard way like mining the redo logs(or archive logs) with the Log Miner.

Automatically update Data Flow when table column is added

Hi, I have identical SQL Server databases on Server A and Server B, and I'm trying to create an SSIS package that will update its own Data Flow task when I've added a new column.
When I open the SSIS package up in Data Tools after adding the column, I get the following warning: 'The external columns for OLE DB Destination are out of synchronization with the data source columns. The column "TestColumn" needs to be added to
the external columns.' So the package know when it's out of sync with the db.
Is there a way to automatically update the external columns?
Thank you!

There is a Dynamic DTS task commercial product of CozyRock
Another possibility is to generate an updated version of the package programmatically either with BIML http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/3124/generate-multiple-ssis-packages-using-biml-and-metadata/
or via .net code http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-ca/library/ms345167.aspx

Column with hide checked when I don't want it to be.

I have a subject area when I add a column, it has the hide check box checked. If I uncheck it , it still will have it checked when I go back in to it. They happen to be date fields in a materialized view. The columns will not show when the results tab is selected. I do not find nay errors in the nqquery.log or nqserver.log. Any ideas?
I still suspect it has something to so with the data type. A select from the view in sql looks fine.

Hi,
Steps to implements,
"The columns will not show when the results tab is selected. I do not find nay errors in the nqquery.log or nqserver.log. Any ideas?"
1) for the above issues, its know bug and its fixed in obiee11.1.1.6.0 make sure your version.
FYI:bug ref
13580620 COLUMNS ADDED IN THE CRITERIA TAB ARE AUTOMATICALLY ADDED TO ALL EXISTING VIEWS
2) by workaroun way in obiee11.1.1.5.0 and 11.1.1.3.0 version --> remove the existing view and re-create the view it will bring up newly added coulmn. otherwise when ever you just want to add new columns in your exsiting analysis view just edit and go to the result tab and you can find the required SA presentaion table columns in left side -->select it required columns and double click it then its will get displayed in result view.
Thanks

How do I keep columns from adding to a custom spreadsheet when I'm tabbing after adding info into each column?

I'm trying Numbers for 30 days and haven't been able to find out how to stop Numbers from adding additional columns to a custom spreadsheet I've created as I'm entering data in each cell and tabbing to the next. I want only a fixed number of columns across.

Actually, it works both ways.
If you press tab once after entering data in the last column, that confirms the entry and leaves the same cell selected. If you press tab a second time, Numbers adds a column to the table and moves the selection to the (new) cell to the right.
There's no way to turn that feature off.
But if you press return, either to confirm the entry in the last column, or as the second press (when you forget and press tab-once), Numbers will confirm the entry and move the selection to the cell below the one where you started data entry in the previous line:
This started out as an empty table with four columns. The keystrokes that led to what's shown were:
d, a, t, a ,tab,d, a, t, a , tab,d, a, t, a , tab, tab (column E added), d, a, t, a , tab,return (selection moved to B3)

Duplicate check on one column in only one datablock

hi all,
i have a database block with three columns.
X Y Z
X is a display item and not navigable. Y has to be a unique number therefore no duplicate number can be added before commit is done and Z is check box.
i have written a code for this in the pre-update trigger but the issue is when i update the checkbox it looks as if the Y clumn has been changed. could some please tell me a better method to check for duplicate check.
any advice would be really helpful. thanks in advance.

I saw your other thread asking how to prevent duplicate keys on a database.
I am not sure what code you wrote in the pre-update trigger, but it sounds like you are checking for a duplicate record in the database, but NOT excluding the present record. You can add: AND ROWID <> :this_block.ROWID
to your where clause, and it should bypass the present record when checking for a duplicate. (Change "this_block" to the name of your forms block.) Also, did you write a similar pre-insert trigger? It would be better to write the code for both insert and updates in a when-validate-record trigger (see below).
However, after saying all that, you can do all sorts of checks in your form, but none of them will trap the situation where a second user inserts or updates a record with the same key at the first user. The only thing you can do to prevent duplicates and be 100% sure is to create a unique constraint on the database table. Then you will need to write code in the form to check when the error is raised. Here is a thread where that method is discussed:
Re: Question about Unique Table Columns - How to Handle Alerts
Also, in your other thread, you asked about using a record group to prevent duplicates. You can read this thread:
Re: Hi all, Very interesting problem to tackle,..help me
Here is code for a when-validate-record trigger to check for duplicates:
Declare
dummy varchar2(1);
Begin
-- check if inserting OR changing key:
If :System.record_status = 'INSERT'
or :System.record_status = 'CHANGED'
    and :this_block.key_item
    <> get_item_property('THIS_BLOCK.KEY_ITEM',database_value) then
    begin
      Select 'X' into dummy from table where key_item = :this_block.key_item;
    exception when no_data_found then null;
    end;
    If dummy='X' then
      Message(' Record already exists on the database');
      Raise form_trigger_failure;
End if;
End;For small tables (those with maybe less than a thousand rows) you can use the famous Kevin Clarke duplicate summary function to trap for duplicates within the block. But this method depends on your always fetching all rows into the block every time you query.
You can see a description of the method in the following threads:
Duplicate key prevention
Re: checking for same rows in a tabular
Re: duplicate records in a multi record block

Why table getWidth and setWidth is not working when resize column the table

hi all,
i want to know why the setWidth is not working in the following code,
try to uncomment the code in columnMarginChanged method and run it wont resize the table.
i cont set width(using setWidth) of the other table column using getWidth of the main table column.

Hi tiff512:
The way is:

The help documentation says the following in relation to the creation of new units of measure:
"If required, define new units of measurement according to the international system of units (SI) with the menu function Unit of meaurement -> Create.
Here you have to make make specifications for:
Display (including a descriptive Units of measurement text)
Conversion (not applicable to units of measurement without dimensions)

Application parameters"
I hope it is helpful to you.

Fnd out when a file is added to a directory

Does anyone know if theres a way to send a signal / cause an event when a file (which could be of any type and any filename), is added to a directory.
Eg When a file is added to the directory 'mynewfiles' I want to send a signal to another process that will copy a version of this to another directory.
Is this possible in Java? Without using polling?

I'm pretty sure there's no alternative to polling, though you can at least poll the "last modified" timestamp before checking the contents.
A signal facility would have to be plugged right into the operating system.

Query can't include an "ORDER BY" clause when having column heading sorting

I'm getting the following error when I try to include "ORDER BY" in my sql statement :
"Your query can't include an "ORDER BY" clause when having column heading sorting enabled"
I have used other sql statements with "ORDER BY" but this is the first time I have come across this and I don't understand why it's going wrong. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I could fix it? Here is one of the sql statements which I have tried which is giving me the error:
select "ID_NUMBER",
"PROJECT_NAME",
"PROJECT_TYPE",
"OWNER",
"PRIORITY",
"STATUS",
"END_DATE",
"COMMENTS"
from "PROJECT"
WHERE "STATUS" != 'Completed' AND "STATUS" != 'Cancelled'
ORDER BY "END_DATE"
Regards,
Ed.

You must deselect column heading sorting that is in the page "Report Attributes" .This is a check box placed on the same line of the element of the report.

Modify the Data Load wizard to remove the check for unique columns

Hi,
I'm trying to make a Data Loading Wizard into my application, which basically works nice except for one thing:
I want to remove the check for unique columns, and insert ALL data which the users wants to upload.
(Like the Data load utility under development).
The reason is, that the data I want to upload is an export from my bank statements (in XLS / CSV format)
And these exports don't have any primary key.
Using the Apex wizard created Data Upload pages, I will loose data in case I had two identical payments in a day.
Is there a way to do this, while keeping the pages created by the wizard to make Data Loading pages?
apex 4.2.1

I would suggest to load the data into a view and process the records into the real table(s) with instead-of-triggers. When you add a "1=2" where clause to the view, there never is any data and everything will be loaded.
Otherwise you have to have a "real" PK value, like a timestamp or a statement_nr+line_nr.

How to avoid to check if a column value is NULL?

Hi, I'm a newbee in Oracle.
I have a procedure like this:
create or replace
PROCEDURE get_employee
     v_first_name IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL ,
     v_middle_name IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL ,
     v_last_name IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL ,
To select rows with matching multiple column values, I can simply do this:
SELECT *
FROM employee
WHERE first_name = v_first_name
AND middle_name = v_middle_name
AND last_name = v_last_name
The problem is v_middle_name can be NULL. This means,
I need check if v_middle_name is NULL, and if it is, I need use "IS NULL" instead, like this:
SELECT *
FROM employee
WHERE first_name = v_first_name
AND middle_name IS NULL
AND last_name = v_last_name
It seems very cumbersome to do a check for each column that can be null.
Is there a way that I do not need to do a check for every column?
or is it better to avoid having NULL values in those columns (and replace them with, say a space) ?
Thanks in advance.
Simon

Normally, you would do something like
SELECT *
FROM employee
WHERE first_name = NVL( v_first_name, first_name )
   AND middle_name = NVL(v_middle_name, middle_name )
   AND last_name = NVL(v_last_name, last_name )Of course, if you can ensure that NULL data is not allowed (without creating phony non-NULL data), that is a good thing. In most systems, for example, it is probably reasonable to require a non-NULL first and last name. But you almost certainly cannot require a middle name.

Using '=' to check for NULL column value

We are currently encountering an issue where 10.1.0.5 is happily accepting a check on a column for a null value with what I have always known to be an invalid syntax.
For instance:
select col1 from my table where col1=null
Although this is wrong and we are working on locating the queries formatted as such, what I am wondering is why is it working on the 10.1.0.5 version but we cannot get the same query to execute on 8i, 9i, 10.2.0...? Is there a flag that can be enabled to allow this compare?

I am familiar with the correct syntax to be using. What I am looking for is a possible explanation as to why the query below returns the correct results on 10.1.0.5 and returns nothing in all other versions. I would expect the same behavior across all instances. See the two lines in bold "AREA=NULL" and "SUBAREA=NULL"

Image is not printing in PrintAdvanceDataGrid when the PrintAdvanceDataGrid was added to Vbox

I tried to print the image in the PrintAdvance Data Grid , image is not priniting when the PrintAdvanceDataGrid was added to Vbox or Vgroup, can any one help?

Images are loaded asynchronously, so they appear after the page is sent to the printer. Using an image cache should help.
