Date Format in Windows

Is it possible to get the date format from windows locale setting?
I'm using Java 1.6 and the date format instance for SHORT is not the same as windows locale setting.

Ah, I see now, sorry.
Must admit that I do not know the answer to this question. I always thought that Java assumed a 'standardised default' for each Locale and did not actually take any account of the platforms settings. Also, I do not think that the language exposes this information anywhere; I have not conducted an exhaustive search but cannot find anything in the System and Toolkit classes that would seem to give you access to this setting.
It may be worthwhile searching to see where this setting is exposed throuhg the win32API. That way, you could always write native code to read the setting, access that using JNI and then make use of the setting. That would still leave one problem IMO; what would you do if the user changed the Windows date setting? Alternatively, you could use a ResourecBudnel to parameterise the date string. That would be far easier to implement and allow the user to establish their own (horror) defaults - assuming this is acceptable given the requirements of the application.

Oracleparameter changes date format on windows 2003 server

Hi, i am using a stored procedure that contains a datetime-field. The date i am sending is formatted as "2007-05-30", but when it comes to the oracle-server, the date has been reformatted to "30-MAY-07".
I am using ODP.NET within the VS.2005. In web.config i have set the uiculture and culture to sv-SE, the settings on the webserver to Swedish without any positive results.
So, when i send away a date within the ODP commandparameter it rearrange the date from the component to the server. Any ideas to solve this problem? I have searched the net without any luck. Hopefully someone can help me in the right direction?
I was looking at setting NLS_LANG = SWEDISH with a first call to the database, but i have not tried that yet. Also, the code works fine on my local computer - so the translation of date is just on the windows 2003 server.
string ConnStr = "SERVER=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=XX)(PORT=1526))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=AAAA)));uid=A;pwd=B;";
string returnData = "";
OracleConnection myConnection = new OracleConnection(ConnStr);
string selecteddate = "2007-05-20";
string newspaper = "EX";
try
myConnection.Open();
OracleCommand cmd = new OracleCommand("ROUTEXUSER.PKGROUTEX.F_SUB_ROUTEX_JOB", myConnection);
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
OracleParameter prm1 = new OracleParameter("vd_datum_in", OracleType.DateTime);
prm1.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input;
prm1.Value = selecteddate.ToString();
cmd.Parameters.Add(prm1);
OracleParameter prm2 = new OracleParameter("vs_tidning_id_in", OracleType.VarChar);
prm2.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input;
prm2.Value = newspaper;
cmd.Parameters.Add(prm2);
OracleParameter prm3 = new OracleParameter("vn_seqnr_out", OracleType.Number);
prm3.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;
cmd.Parameters.Add(prm3);
// add record
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
// returnvalue
returnData = cmd.Parameters["vn_seqnr_out"].Value.ToString();
catch (Exception ex)
throw new System.SystemException("Error: " + "-" + ex.Message);
// stänger och avslutar connections

Red X - Due to conflict between date format in Windows Regional settings

Hello
I face the following issue. To display some graphes that result of the selection of a date in a Java calendar (format mm/dd/yy) I have to change the Windows regional settings.
Which of course impact other applications like Excel....
Is there some settings/applet that can be set in Java JRE to prevent this issue ?
Same issue what ever the JRE version used.
currently JRE 1.4.2_07 VM 1.4.2_07-b05, plug-in 1.4.2_07

Hi Kevin,
I doubt anyone outside of Sun would be able to give you a definite answer to this one, but from my understanding of the JDK's interactions with Windows, I'd have to say no.
I usually find that about the only Windows default that the JDK picks on is the current user locale. From there, the JDK likely chooses its own default date and currency formatting instances, as these are all packaged up within i18n.jar within the JDK libraries.
If anyone can prove me wrong though, please do!
Hope that helps!

Due to virus attack i had to format my windows laptop...now when i installed new itunes software i had to sync my ipod touch again but it says that if do the same then the data on my ipod touch will be erased....how should i protect my ipod touch data?

due to the virus attack i had to format my windows laptop...now when i installed new itunes software i had to sync my ipod touch again but it says that if i do it then the data present on my ipod touch will be erased as it is syncd to some older library... how should i protect my ipod touch data?

With all you media (apps, music) in the iTunes library connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup. Do that by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up. Then restore the iPod from that backup.
Note the the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.

Date format in Query Result Window

In recent versions on OSD (trying with V3.2.20.09 Build MAIN-09.87) I've been unable to change the date format for results shown in the query results window via the NLS settings in Preferences, it's the same for other users on v3 in my area. Can anyone advice on whether anything can be done to resolve this issue or is there a bug in recent additions of OSD
Frustrating having a result show as 01-DEC-12 and I don't know whether it's 01-DEC-2012 or our default date of 01-DEC-4712 without having to hard code a to_char in my sql which I don't want to be doing all the time to analyse my results
I have an old version 1.5.4 Build MAIN-5940 and changing the NLS settings in preferences refrects correctly in the query results window
Any advice appreciated, Thanks

Thanks, looks like it's permission, tried on a different database supposed to be the same and it works when I update the preferences or run the alter session statement. Call to my admins to get on the case
Ta
for anyone else having simular issues, help are the statements I've tried to confirm it's permissions

Date Format in Visual Studio Query Result Window

Most vendor tools let you change the date format to show datetime in its query results window.
But .NET does not have this.
The ability to change this should be in located in Tools|Options but its not there.
Can it be added in the next release?
ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'DD-MON-RR HH:MI:SS' does not work. btw.
.NET and/or ODT over-rides it.

Why would you expect Microsoft to write stuff for an Oracle plugin?! Why on earth would you want to see anything other than the actual raw data that YOU requested in the results of a query? Surely formating/displaying a datetime is a presentation layer thing not a database layer thing! If you're really that bothered re-write your SQL till you get what you want.

Hello Adlyd,
SAP Business Objects does not support customizing Infoview, CR Server, or BusinessObjects Enterprise. I'll post the content of SAP Business Objects Note 1218598 below that speaks to this. Even if they could help customize CR Server/Enterprise/Infoview there's no way to change the parameter prompting page. It's a page that is generated at runtime, and it isn't exposed to any of the BusinessObjects SDK.
If you want to see if SAP Business Objects can help you with the date format that might be possible. In North America you can call 1-800-877-2340, and select option 4, and then option 1.

Date format in forms and reports in windows 7

i have problem with date format in developer 10g and developer 6i
it show date in this format 2011/25/1

how i can reslove this
in xp it work fine

Are you generating Forms and Reports from Oracle Designer, or using Oracle Developer tools directly?
If this is a Forms question, try the Forms forum - Forms
If this is a Reports question, try the Reports forum - Reports
Either way, or with Designer, the problem is probably that you are allowing the date format to default instead of explicitly specifying a date format. Always specify the date format - you want "DD/MM/YYYY".

Few questions about partitioning and formatting in Windows 8

Hello,
I'm very shortly after a Windows 8 reinstall and I want to make use of this moment to finally understand partitioning and formatting in Windows 8.
Before using Windows 8, I was an XP user for 5 years and I actually never bothered myself with formatting my main system partition, that's probably why my computer ended up working like a slime for the last years. Anyway, by now I have been using Windows 8 for a year.
Three weeks ago I faced a system-related problem with my laptop (IdeaPad Y580) which prevented it from peacefully shutting down. A good friend of mine (XP user for his entire life, and now Windows 7 newbie user) told me, that I should keep all my non-system stuff on separate partition and that I should do the main system partition format from time to time to keep my PC out of trouble. It is sure that he took his knowledge from using XP, and here's my first question - does this method apply to Windows 8?
I mean as far as I know, back then, in XP, partitioning was possible only during Windows installation, and now, in Windows 8 we have a Disk Management for this, which do not require running Windows installation to create new partitions.
I'm mentioning this due to the fact that originally (I mean by factory settings) my drive has only one visible partition - C: (1TB), so I would need to use the Disk Management to take some space from C: partition and allocate it to the new D: partition.
In case I do this whole partitioning operation and create a D: partition, is it sure that formatting my system-only C: partition won't have effects on my D: partition, and all the programms and data I have here will stay on their places and work after format? (I'm worried about this because I've seen in some partitioning guide a warning not to format the main partition after the partitioning operation, because it would erase totally all data - I'm not sure if I misunderstood something or is it a mistake? EDIT: here's the link for this guide, just jump to the "Final Thoughts" section to see what I'm taking about: http://www.technorms.com/8438/windows-8-create-hard-drive-partition ).
If this whole method of keeping your system running fine doesn't apply to Windows 8, I guess I'm okay with having only one C: partition.
By the way, it doesn't matter for me if I create new partition in terms of conflicts with preinstalled Lenovo OneKey Recovery, since I had to reinstall my Windows 8 recently from non-Lenovo CD, and either way my laptop is now totally clean, without Lenovo stuff (I found Lenovo Recovery CD for Y580 on the internet, but it had non-single-language Windows 8 in it, and I needed a single-laguage one in order to have my Product Key recognised, so I just used a pure Windows 8 SL installer)

I just found out that I can't even transfer my Users folder or Program Data to other drive than the one with the system, because it would prevent me from updating my system or even from actually booting to my system. So apparently my whole topic is for nothing... I guess I should live with only one drive, and whenever my system totally crashes again I should do the backups to my external HDD. It's sad though that Windows 8 is a total opposite to user-friendly OS, to say the least.

How can I transfer files off an external hard drive formatted for windows?

I just bought my first mac (yay!) and am trying to transfer my files off of my old pc. The problem is that I stored all my personal files on an external hard drive, which is of course formatted for windows. My mac will open it, but it is "read only." I tried plugging it back into my pc and using the Migration Assistant to transfer my files over, but it was not detected (rest of the pc was).
However, the second time I tried plugging it in to my pc, it told me it would need to be formatted first. Obviously my mac has changed something on it, and now all my personal files are on a hard drive that is unusable by either my old pc or my new mac!
Any suggestions would be appreciated! Heads up though, I am not especially computer literate, and my pc needs to stay intact as the husband needs it and some of the programs on it for school. Also, I have a second external hard drive that is brand new with nothing on it, if that will come in handy.
Thanks!

Format the extra HDD to EXFAT as previously indicated. There are two ways that can use to transferr the data.
1. Connect both drives to the PC and the copy the files to the newly formatted (EXFAT) drive from the HDD with the data . Then connect the EXFAT drive to the MBP and transfer the data to same.
2. Connect both drives to the MBP and open DISK UTILITY>RESTORE. Drag the drive with the data on it to the 'Source' field. Drag the EXFAT drive to the 'Destination' field. Click on the 'Restore' butt is on. After the transfer has been completed, close DISK UTILITY and place the data on the MBP where you want it.
Ciao.

Using iPod for data transfer from windows to a Mac... is this possible?

ok here's the situation.
my room mate has a (video) iPod 30G colour screen and everything. she has downloaded a show (not from iTunes) on her laptop using windows. We want to use her iPod to transfer the data from that show onto my computer which is an iMac G5 Intel Core Duo.
We connected the iPod to my computer but it was not recognized. Is this because her iPod is formatted for Windows or is there possibly another reason?
if anyone could help that would be great.
thanks

From what I know, windows will not recognize the complicated data of a mac formatted device; hence not recognizing it. Macs can recognize a windows formated ipod though, so if you decide to reformat it on windows, then you can use it on both computers. If you dont though, looks like you are out of luck, sorry.
Hope I helped.

How Do i create a list that will show in a dropdown box with the list being pulled from another tab and not the cell data format junk?

How Do i create a list that will show in a dropdown box with the list being pulled from another tab and not the cell data format junk?
I currently run OS X 10.10.1
Now i have been trying to work on this for a while now and what i want to do should be simple but its apparently not.
Here is an example of what i want to happen.
I will have 2 tabs: Contact | Sales
Now Contacts will have the list of names and various information about a customer, While Sales will have one drop-down box for each Cell Row that will show the names of the person in tab contacts
for what i am wanting to do i cant use the data format pop-up menu because the list is edited everyday several times a day.
Now how do i do this, Excel can do this so how can numbers do it?

Finder date format in List View

I want to tell Finder NOT to display the day of the week or the spelling of the month in the date columns when it is in List View.
I want this exactly, and nothing else:
mm/dd/yyyy 12:30
I want the month and day to always use two digits. It just think it looks better when a column of data is all formatted the same exact way. And, I don't need to know that 04/17/01 was a Thursday (or whatever it was)!
I know you can resize the columns to get various amounts of info and formats, but that's too much effort, plus you get all these weird ",..." filler garbage. Let's just make it simple!!!

I think the width of the column is the sole determinant of the date format shown in list views. I use an applescript to set the size, position and column width of Finder windows to my preferred specs; it sets the date column width so that a shorter (but not shortest) date format is used (because I'm picky about that, too ). You can easily tinker with the numbers so the sizing suits your own preferences.
-- works on frontmost Finder window;
-- settings appropriate for display res 1440x900
<code>
tell application "Finder"
set bounds of window 1 to {230, 120, 1260, 820}
set sidebar width of window 1 to 200
set width of column name column of list view options of window 1 to 280
set width of column modification date column of list view options of window 1 to 180
set width of column size column of list view options of window 1 to 100
set width of column kind column of list view options of window 1 to 180
end tell
</code>
Instructions for saving scripts in case you or other readers need them: Copy and paste the above into a new Script Editor document (or highlight and use the Services -> Script Editor menu). Save as file format: Script at this path -- ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/Finder/ -- creating any folders that don't already exist. You can change the numbers in the script and use the Run button in the Script Editor toolbar to test until you get something you're happy with.
HTH,
Lisa
