NEED ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN FOR DATE FORMAT

Need something like this :
ALTER TABLE ABC
ALTER COLUMN DATE1 AS (DD/MM/YYYY)
need to appear in this format (29/03/2014) in the table.
also needs to be recorded in DB in that format.

changed system date format, works. Thanks!
You should always store values as dates itself in date/datetime related field in SQLServer
The formatting can very easily be done in your front end (presentation layer) using format function
Even in T-SQL you can use CONVERT or FORMAT functions to get the date values in the format you want

I don't follow you? Anyway, Olaf Helper's answer was the solution.
SQL Server has a data type called DATETIME. To correctly query dates, it is easier to use this as it allows the SQL engine to do all the calculations for you, also the canonical format for dates in any database language is YYYY-MM-DD, this ensures correctly
tiered dates that are stored in the right order. The way you store data and the way you display it should be kept as two seperate entities. This is the ISO standard and has been thoroughly investigated ...alot to say the least. This is where the term "front-end"
and "back-end" developers come from, and also the distinction between server-side and client-side scripting.
To cut a long story short, take the advice of the multiple professionals here, and follow standards otherwise you'll find yourself stuck, or worse, your legacy code will make someone tear their hair out.

Best method/tool for cloning a failing HDD for Data Recovery?

I have been brooding over this subject "Which method/tool is best for cloning a failing HDD - including the system drive - for data recovery from the clone.Has anyone tried cloning for this specific purpose and achieved any results?I would be interested if they can share their experience or even air their views on the subject.

I recently review one of the tool, here's my blog/review : http://arnavsharma.net/4/post/2014/05/review-stellar-phoenix-windows-data-recovery.html

Why am I being charged for data when connected to wifi AND not using my phone?!

WHY am I being charged for data that I'm not using? At times when I'm asleep AND my phone is connected to wifi?! This happens at really specific, alternating times like 9:54 pm every day, or 12:01 am, 6:01 am and then 12:01pm and 6:01pm. When I called I was told "maybe your wifi at home is disconnecting" or "maybe your phone is connecting to atnt or sprint". It's not possible that my phone is disconnecting from wifi every six hours on the dot and, at that exact time, I'm always using data. I find it hard to believe that I live in a HUGE city and my phone magically connects to other networks and I NEVER notice this. Verizon is full of LIARS (and maybe’s) and I'm not convinced that these data charges are a coincidence. I was told to turn off my cellular data to see if the problem resolves itself. Why should I alter my daily life when Verizon is clearly the one with the issue? I hope there's a class action lawsuit because Verizon is trying to get over on everyone! I need answers!

Hello NotHappy101,
I think it's quite odd that your data usage is at very specific times. We can certainly take a closer look. Please reply to my Direct Message, so we can get some additional details.

Mapping conversion help needed for date

Hi Experts,
I need help in message mapping convesion for date field
The source date field can have value '2010-06-04T02:09:59.610-07:00' or 2010-06-04T02:09:60.610-07:00
I have to change it to '2010-06-04T02:09:59.000-07:00'. ie, if the seconds are 59.XXX, or 60.XXX, then change to 59.000.
Please let me know the best way to do this
Thanks
Mike

Again, to make it more clear
The source date field can have any date value such as
2010-06-04T02:09:59.610-07:00 -
This needs to be changed to 2010-06-04T02:09:59.000-07:00
2010-06-04T02:09:60.610-07:00 -- This needs to be changed to 2010-06-04T02:09:59.000-07:00
2010-06-04T02:09:60.000-07:00 -- This needs to be changed to 2010-06-04T02:09:59.000-07:00
2010-06-04T02:09:59.000-07:00 - This need not be changed
2010-06-04T02:09:58.610-07:00 -- This need not be changed
2010-06-04T02:09:57.610-07:00 etc etc - These need not be changed.
The only change using date function is for the first two dates, in which 59.XXX and 60.XXX need to be replaced with 59.000
Using the above date function, all the seconds 59.XXX, 58.XXX, 60.XXX, etc etc,,, are converted to 59.000, 58.000 and 60.000
I dont need this as per the requirement. So looks like the UDF needs to be altered a little to accomodate my requirement.
Please help me.
Thanks
Mike

Best strategy for data definition handling while using OCCI

Hi, subject says all.
Assuming to use OCCI for data manipulation (e.g. object navigation), what's the best strategy to handle definitions in the same context ?
I mean primarily dynamic creation of tables and columns.
Apparent choices are:
- SQL from OCCI.
- use OCI in parallel.
Did I miss anything ? Thanks for any suggestion.

Agreeing with Kappy that your "secondary" backups should be made with a different app. You can use Disk Utility as he details, or a "cloning" app such as CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper that can update the clone periodically, rather than erasing and re-copying from scratch.
[CarbonCopyCloner|http://www.bombich.com> is donationware; [SuperDuper|http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html] has a free version, but you need the paid one (about $30) to do updates instead of full replacements, or scheduling.
If you do decide to make duplicate TM backups, you can do that. Just tell TM when you want to change disks (thus it's a good idea to give them different names). But there's no reason to erase and do full backups; after the first full backup to each drive, Time Machine will back up only the changes made since the last backup +*to that disk.+* Each is completely independent.

A question on different options for data archival and compression

Hi Experts,
I have production database of about 5 terabyte size in production and about 50 GB in development/QA. I am on Oracle 11.2.0.3 on Linux. We have RMAN backups configured. I have a question about data archival stretegy. To keep the OLTP database size optimum, what options can be suggested for data archival?
1) Should each table have a archival stretegy?
2) What is the best way to archive data - should it be sent to a seperate archival database?
In our environment, only for about 15 tables we have the archival stretegy defined. For these tables, we copy their data every night to a seperate schema meant to store this archived data and then transfer it eventualy to a diffent archival database. For all other tables, there is no data archival stretegy.
What are the different options and best practices about it that can be reviewed to put a practical data archival strategy in place? I will be most thankful for your inputs.
Also what are the different data compression stregegies? For example we have about 25 tables that are read-only. Should they be compressed using the default oracle 9i basic compression? (alter table compress).
Thanks,
OrauserN

You are using 11g and you can compress read only as well as read-write tables in 11g. Both read only and read write tables are the candidate for compression always. This will save space and could increase the performance but always test it before. This was not an option in 10g. Read the following docs.

TRUNC function for DATE

Another thread from today made me think of the basics of TRUNC function used for DATEs. I am confused about what it acutally does.
This is what Oracle Documenations says about TRUNC function without format (like 'DD-MON-YY')
"If you omit fmt, then date is truncated to the nearest day" (Oracle 10Gr2 SQL reference, B14200-02)
SQL> alter session set nls_date_format = 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS';
Session altered.
Query 1.
SQL> SELECT SYSDATE FROM DUAL;
SYSDATE
06-DEC-2007 14:22:01
Query 2.
SQL> SELECT TRUNC(SYSDATE) FROM DUAL;
TRUNC(SYSDATE)
06-DEC-2007 00:00:00I have three questions
1)Since it 2:22 pm , shouldn't the result of TRUNC(SYSDATE) ie Query 2. be 7-Dec-2007 ?
2) What difference does TRUNC function make in the code apart from setting the time to 00:00:00?
3) Is it safer to add TRUNC for DATEs in the code?
SQL> select sysdate-1 from dual;
SYSDATE-1
05-DEC-2007 14:27:51
SQL> select trunc(sysdate) - 1 from dual;
TRUNC(SYSDATE)-1
05-DEC-2007 00:00:00Added third question
Message was edited by:

it's not a function that rounds up date's it purely truncates to the granularity that you want.
So TRUNC(sysdate) still returns a date datatype (which still contains a date and time portion) but the time portion is truncated i.e. cleared down to it's lowest limit.
Likewise if you TRUNC(sysdate,'YYYY') then it will truncate to the year and take months, days, hours, mins and secs down to their lowest limit hence giving you 1st January of that year with 00:00:00 as the time.
It's very simple really.

Using translate for date in the control file !!

Hi,
I am having data file where in i expect date but get non-numeric character.
I am generating control file dynamically (programatically).
While creating control file i know that here the type of data will be date so i put datatype as date. But at one place i got non numeric character instead of date.
Now i want to put somekind of logic built in my dynamic generation which will check whether if value within that column is character then make it null and then load data. And if it is numeric keep it as it it.
i.e.
if(non-numericChars)
make value null before loading.
else
keep the value as it and then load it.
I heard that with translate function we can do that. Right ?
So if i have a line like this in my control file:
column_Name date "MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS AM"
How should i write the above statement to put the above mentioned logic.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Dipesh

and Perhaps TO_DATE can help you :
TO_DATE
Syntax
to_date::=
Text description of to_date
Purpose
TO_DATE converts char of CHAR, VARCHAR2, NCHAR, or NVARCHAR2 datatype to a value of DATE datatype. The fmt is a date format specifying the format of char. If you omit fmt, then char must be in the default date format. If fmt is 'J', for Julian, then char must be an integer.
Note:
This function does not convert data to any of the other datetime datatypes. For information on other datetime conversions, please refer to TO_TIMESTAMP, TO_TIMESTAMP_TZ, TO_DSINTERVAL, and "TO_YMINTERVAL".
The default date format is determined implicitly by the NLS_TERRITORY initialization parameter, or can be set explicitly by the NLS_DATE_FORMAT parameter.
The 'nlsparam' has the same purpose in this function as in the TO_CHAR function for date conversion.
Do not use the TO_DATE function with a DATE value for the char argument. The first two digits of the returned DATE value can differ from the original char, depending on fmt or the default date format.
Note:
This function does not support CLOB data directly. However, CLOBs can be passed in as arguments through implicit data conversion. Please refer to "Datatype Comparison Rules" for more information.
See Also:
"Date Format Models"
Examples
The following example converts a character string into a date:
SELECT TO_DATE(
'January 15, 1989, 11:00 A.M.',
'Month dd, YYYY, HH:MI A.M.',
'NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE = American')
FROM DUAL;
TO_DATE('
15-JAN-89
The value returned reflects the default date format if the NLS_TERRITORY parameter is set to 'AMERICA'. Different NLS_TERRITORY values result in different default date formats:
ALTER SESSION SET NLS_TERRITORY = 'KOREAN';
SELECT TO_DATE(
'January 15, 1989, 11:00 A.M.',
'Month dd, YYYY, HH:MI A.M.',
'NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE = American')
FROM DUAL;
TO_DATE(
89/01/15

Database is configured for Data Guard

I am run a UTF8 conversion on a development database that has been cloned from Data Guard. There is a warning in Migration Status: "Database is configured for Data Guard" What is the DMU looking at to determine this? The database is open in read-write mode and it behaving like a primary database (I run the DMU scan and run updates to fix invalid representations). I would like to know what settings I need to update.
Is this preventing me from converting tables using CTAS? When I try to select this for all tables I get the message, "The DMU does not support the conversion method "Copy data using CREATE TABLE AS SELECT" for tables that are involved in an Oracle Streams process, like capture or apply. Use another available conversion method for the table"
Thanks,
Ben

The DMU checks if the parameter DG_BROKER_START is set to true.
The problem with CTAS is independent from Data Guard. The DMU checks for tables that:
- are source of asynchronous Streams capture, or
- have update conflict handlers, or
- have DML handlers, or
- have conflict resolution parameters
The above tables are considered configured for Oracle Streams and are not supported by CTAS conversion method. This is because the CTAS method creates a converted copy of the table and drops the original. The DMU is not capable of moving the Streams configuration information from the old table to the new one.
Thanks,
Sergiusz

I also tried to declare variable of date from sqlplus but it seems sqlplus doesn't have any support for date datatype var declaration as bind variable.
Thanks
Kev
Edited by: Kevin_K on Jan 3, 2011 4:48 AM

I think in this case you would have to take an approach like this:
alter session set set create_stored_outlines=true;
run your sql-statement (with a date bind variable), using anonymous plsql block.
alter session set create_stored_outlines=false;
Not sure though. It's been a while since I played around with outlines.

Mac Pro 4,1 SATA for OS and RAID SAS for data?

Hello, Can I setup a new Mac Pro with two SATA drives for the OS and install a RAID Card and two SAS drives for data?
Or do they all have to be SAS or SATA drives in the machine? Meaning I cannot mix SATA and SAS.
Thanks,
Dean

Even MacWorld magazine liked the OWC drives.
If you are serious about using an SSD drive, they are generally too small for, and do not give enough speed improvement to, extensive documents, movies, pictures, Tunes, and so on. You should consider moving the /Users directory to a traditional Hard Drive.
Blocks on SDD drives can sustain a finite number of writes, thought to be in the neighborhood of 10,000. Some Cloning software is thought to do an abusive number of writes during cloning, so it may be better to install the System from scratch onto your new SSD.
I am an advocate of occasionally consolidating free space on an SSD drive and Zeroing it. Since these drives tend to be organized internally as really big blocks, eliminating small "free" blocks (with leftover data in them) may allow some drives to do fewer slow Read-Modify-Write cycles. This practice is, at best, controversial.

How do I apply rules for date to cell

I use numbers 3.1. And I have trouble to apply a specific rule for a cell. I want to achieve an automatic fill in for a cell for todays date. So I open the filter on the right side of my document. I chose "date and time" and then I define the rule for its altering application for every week. I manage to go over the definition insofar as I choose "today" and the style "kursive". But I am unable to fill in this information into the cell. I hope I explained this function understandable for I am German and I use of course the German layout in Numbers. ( I could not find a german speaking platform for my problem ). Can someone help?

MB5B Report for Date Wise Stock and Value

Hi,
I am Taking MB5B Report for Date Wise Stock and Value.
But I have one doubt all stocks is coming or not in these report like Unrestrected Stock,Return Stock.Blocked stock,Transist stock,Restrected Stock,qty Inspection Stock.
I have another Doubt in these report three Stock type indicaters are there like these.
1.Storage Location / Batch Stock
2.valuated Stock
3.Special Stock.
But i have one doubt what is defferent these
1.Storage Location / Batch Stock
2.valuated Stock

Hi Prasad,
Yes MB5B report consider the Unrestricted, Quality, Blocked, Transit stock and restricted stock. Not sure about Return Stock.
If you select the Storage location/Batch stock radio button then the system will display all the possible stock from the storage location and the corresponding batch also.
If you select Valuated stock radio button then system will show only the valuated stock not the Non-valuated stock. Because Non-valuated material type is available in SAP system will not show those stock suppose if you select the Valuated stock radio button.
Regards
Karthick

HT201250 Can I partition my external hard drive and use one partion for time machine and the other one for data that i may want to use in different computers?

I have this doubt. I've just bought an external drive, especifically a Seagate GoFlex Desk 3 tb.
I want to know if it is recomendable to make a partion exclusively for time machine and let another one so I can put there music, photos, videos, etc that I should need to use or copy to another computer.
May half and half, 1.5 tb for time machine and 1.5 tb for data.
I have an internal hard drive of 500 GB (499.25 GB) in my macbook pro.
Any recommendation?

As I said, yes. Be sure your Time Machine partition has at least 1 TB for backups.
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to two (2). Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
