Corrupt Time Portion of a DATE column - how can this happen?

DUMP(START_TIME)
gives
'Typ=12 Len=7: 100,99,255,255,0,0,0'
How can this happen? Is there any way to prevent the database from allowing invalid dates to be inserted.
Thanks in advance,
Cade

That's part of the problem. We don't have direct access to the database. I don't know what the equivalent of SQL Server's Query Analyzer or SSMS in Oracle. I'm more of a 'NET and SQL Server developer.
What the group I am helping does is extract the data (from a system they don't control) using Focus. They send a SQL statement and then Focus retrieves the rowset and does what Focus calls a TABLE FILE operation to put it in a Focus file. Because the Focus rowset typing appears to be based on what datatypes Oracle represents the columns as having, Focus then attempts to interpret the date and time as valid. But apparently they are so messed up that Focus actually halts/crashes.
So every morning, they notify the group responsible for the Oracle system to "fix" the records that are bad. They apparently do this by copying the END_TIME to the START_TIME, hopefully with a simple UPDATE query, but perhaps manually with some other tool.
I'm also not a Focus expert, but in experimenting with sending different SQL statements (like using to_char() to identify the bad data) we did eventually find out how to identify these records using DUMP. What I helped the MIS group here do was to change their SQL query to be:
SELECT CASE WHEN DUMP(START_TIME) = 'Typ=12 Len=7: 100,99,255,255,0,0,0' THEN END_TIME ELSE START_TIME END AS START_TIME
FROM etc.

A guess: your friend was standing beside you when this was demonstrated. There are several apps available (all described as "entertainment"). The app was simply showing where your friends iphone was, i.e. Right where you were. Your position cannot be tracked. The apps are meant for joking.

Since converting my mobileme account into an icloud account, my free 5GB of storage has become a paid for extra 20GB without my requesting it. How can this happen, and has anyone else had this happen to them?

To clarify: you are not being charged for the extra storage - it's complimentary to reflect the fact that you had storage in MobileMe. At the end of June it will disappear unless you care to pay to renew it.

Same machine - many MAC and IP addresses. How can this happen?

Both my machines show (on WakeonLan) as having more than one IP address and MAC address. This resulted yesterday in my wife's Windows laptop which had a fixed ip address not working because the IP address had recently been adopted by the iMac.
How can this happen please and can I clean it up?

Help please - An email address that I rarely used several years ago got reset to someone else's apple ID in place of the email account they used to create their account. How can this happen?

A friend accused me of switching an email account that I used several years ago to send them photos on Flikr (gmail) for their Apple ID - in other words of.messing with their account. I only used the gmail account to post / send them and several other people photos on a few occasions and have not used the account since. I forgot that I had it. When this friend couldn't access their iTunes account the store discovered that the email had been reset to my very old gmail address. How is this possible? Now, they are accusing me of hacking in although no purchases were made and nothing was done with the account. Still, my reputation is at stake. Could they have done it in error? It looks bad for me. Help please.

I made up the names edward and daniel, it's not actually anyone's email address, so no need for concern.
In practice, I'm sure you're right that I would have fewer problems with a longer, more complex email address. But in principal, the problem remains. I could sign up for the Apple ID
1234.NoOneWillEverUseThisAddress.5678@gmail
and someone else could sign up for the Apple ID
1234.NoOneWillEverUseThisAddress.5678+1@gmail
and apple would have no problem with it, even though for all intents and purposes it's the same email address. So the problem is not just the ambiguity of my, to use Dahveed's words, overly simplistic and unsophisticated, email address:
there is a fundamental flaw in the way Apple links email addresses to accounts that allows for this ambiguity. If they followed the same conventions that gmail did, there would be no possibility of this problem.

Today my pinned apps, tab groups and history ALL disappeared, and my settings were changed to "Clear history when Firefox closes." How can this happen!?

I've had several pinned apps, tab groups etc that always reappeared when I closed and opened Firefox. I always had history stored without a problem.
Today I opened Firefox, and my pinned apps, tab groups, and history were all gone, and the option to Clear history when Firefox closed was checked. I did NOT do that. How could that happen? I definitely need to avoid this happening again!!
Please help! Thanks!

If you didn't do that yourself and nobody else has used the computer then an extension may have made that change.
I see in your list that you have some Norton extensions (toolbars) installed that could cause it, but others may do this as well.

Just found that someone has called a number with 317 area code numerous times and billed to my number. How can this happen??

Was wondering what was going with my time that I purchased and checked my usage and found over several months someone has been calling a number in 317 area code and was being billed to my number

Every time I make a call it is announced how many minutes remains, I could not believe I was using this many minutes. I checked my usage and found that there were numerous (10's if not 100') calls made to a phone in the 317 area code, using up the most of my minutes over the last several months.
I don't know any one in this area, (I looked it up online and if I remember correctly, it is in Indiana)
I will be glad to send you a copy of my usage. I work for myself, it will be afterwhile when I can get back with you.
Thanks so much for helping me

The time in my iPhone and in my iCloud account differ precisely one hour. How can this happen?

I live in Lisbon, Portugal, and my iCloud account is set. to the Greenwich meridean. However, events in my iPhone Calendar are one hour delayed when compared to the corresponding events appearing in my iCloud account Calendar. Any explanation as to why this is so?

Go to icloud.com, sign into your iCloud account, click your name at the top and choose Account Settings, click Time Zone and be sure it is set to a city near you as well as to the correct time zone. Then open your calendar on icloud.com, click the gear-shaped icon on the bottom left and choose Preferences, click the Advanced tab and make sure you have not checked time zone support at the top.
Then on your phone go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Time Zone Support (in the Calendars section) and make sure this is set to Off.

Using firefox 5 - when ever I try to use the same key more than once in a row, it does not work. Hitting the multiple times does nothing at all. How can this be corrected. HELP!!!

everything that needs to be done on the keyboard is effected - letters, numbers, backspace, directionals, delete, home, end, page up, page down, '''all keys that are pressed more than once''' It does not matter what webpage I am on.
PLEASE HELP
this is very frustrating

You may have switched on an accessibility feature called FilterKeys by keeping the Shift key pressed for too long.

How can this happen? Quantity Field values are showing doubles in ODS

Hello BW Gurus,
I have a staging ODS, on top of it a reporting ODS and a cube. I have loaded the data from flatfile to the staging ODS which looks perfectly fine but coming to the Reporting ODS and the cube, the values in quantity field are doubled. If it was just cube where the values were doubled then I might have thought it could be due to double time loading or may be because of duplicate records. But I can see the Quantity values doubled in reporting ODS (which has Overwrite option).
Does anyone has any clues? when we had this issue couple of days back - I have deleted the request from Reporting ODS and Cube and re-loaded it which looked perfectly fine.
But today our issue is back - is it not strange?
help me if you have any thoughts and thanks so much,
Swathi.

Hello Dinesh and Vikash,
My issue has taken a twist and here is the new problem:
on Friday the report was fine
on Saturday the report was fine
on Sunday we had problems with Reporting ODS as it was showing all double values. (I cleaned the reporting ODS and Cube and reloaded the data) after that the report worked fine.
on Monday the report was fine
on Tuesday again we got duplicate values (for few plants) now in staging ODS as well, which has completely with 'overwrite' option with one to one mapping with no routines.
I loaded the same file in DEV. and this was working fine?
I debugged the code that was fine too.
I think this is a strange Issue.
Please let me know your ideas,
Thanks so much,
Swathi
