however, when i try to pass in my own value as a parameter i get the error: invalid number

select to_char(to_date(:mydate,'DD/MM/YYYY'),'FMDAY') from dual

Find first & last day of the week from given date

Hi All,
I have the below input query,

Like this? I think in your required output, 3rd row data, MAX_DATE should be 29-DEC-12 and MIN_DATE should be 04-JAN-13.

Hi ,
You can using the following peice of code to get the Day of a Week for the given date :
Calendar now = Calendar.getInstance();
System.out.println("Current date : " + (now.get(Calendar.MONTH) + 1)
     + "-" + now.get(Calendar.DATE) + "-" + now.get(Calendar.YEAR));
//create an array of days
//Day_OF_WEEK starts from 1 while array index starts from 0
String[] strDays = new String[]{"Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thusday",   "Friday", "Saturday" };
String day_of_week = strDays[now.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK) - 1];
System.out.println("Current day is : " + strDays[now.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK) - 1] );

Appreciate your help in Advance.

Two or more productid will be accquired by same customerid, by same shipvia, on the same day of the week of shipped date. i want the simple query for this.

consider this situation,
Two or more productid will be accquired by same customerid, by same shipvia, on the same day of the week of shipped date. i want the simple query for this.
my tables are from northwind:
[orders] = OrderID, CustomerID, EmployeeID, OrderDate, RequiredDate, ShippedDate, ShipVia, Freight, ShipName, ShipAddress, ShipCity, ShipRegion, ShipPostalCode, ShipCountry.
[orders details] = OrderID, ProductID, UnitPrice, Quantity, Discount.
i tried some but it is not exact, it gives wrong result.
select pd.CustomerID,pd.ProductID, pd.no_of_time_purchased, sd.ShipVia, sd.same_ship_count, shipped_day from
select ProductID,o.CustomerID,COUNT(productid) as no_of_time_purchased
from orders o join [Order Details] od on o.OrderID=od.OrderID group by ProductID,o.CustomerID
having count(od.ProductID) >1) pd
join
(select OrderID,customerid, shipvia, count(shipvia)as same_ship_count, DATENAME(DW,ShippedDate)as shipped_day from orders
group by customerid, ShipVia, ShippedDate having COUNT(ShipVia) > 1 ) sd
on sd.CustomerID=pd.CustomerID

Hi,
I think I have a solution that will at least give you a clue how to go about it. I have simplified the tables you mentioned and created them as temporary tables on my side, with some fake data to test with. I have incldued the generation of these temporary
tables for your review.
In my example I have included:
1. A customer which has purchased the same product on the same day, using the same ship 3 times,
2. Another example the same as the first but the third purchase was on a different day
3. Another example the same as the first but the third purchase was a different product
4. Another example the same as the first but the third purchase was using a different "ShipVia".
You should be able to see that by grouping on all of the columns that you wich to return, you should not need to perform any subselects.
Please let me know if I have missed any requirements.
Hope this helps:
CREATE TABLE #ORDERS
OrderID INT,
CustomerID INT,
OrderDate DATETIME,
ShipVia VARCHAR(5)
CREATE TABLE #ORDERS_DETAILS
OrderID INT,
ProductID INT,
INSERT INTO #ORDERS

(1, 1, GETDATE(), 'ABC'),

How to determine the week for credit management?

Is there a transaction that will show the week for which credit is determined. For example, when running RVKRED88, it shows the week the order is processed under.

Hi Rocha,
In Credit management S066 and S067 information structures play a vital role in updating the credit values of a customer. This works in tandem with the update group present in the OVA8 settings in case of automatic credit check.
When an order is created S066 information structure and OEIKW field is updated which increases open order value. when order is delivered S067 information structure and OLIKW field is updated which increases open delivery value and decreses S066-OEIKW
When delivery is billed S067-OFAKW value (Open billing)gets increased and S067-OLIKW gets decreased.
Updation is through the information structures S066 and S067.
In the transaction code OMO1 select the information structure and double click it. You will be faced with parameters pop-up.
In this pop-up you have radio buttons day ,week and Month. _Based on the value you choose here you will get day or week or month for the Period split: info structure field present just besides horizon field of dynamic credit check in OVA8 Screen_If you choose week it will be till the end of the week and if you choose Month it will be end of the month. it is how system considers.
For example if we have created an order today i.e. 19/08/2011 and the Period split: info structure in the OVA8 has 1month.
System evaluates dynamic credit check as today's date + one month =19/09/2011which is =30th september,2011.
So while evaluating credit for the order, system will consider all the open orders whose delivery date is on or before 30th september + open deliveries + open bills + A/C receivables.

What are the settings for apn data and mms for iphone 4 on straight talk?

what are the settings for cellular data network APN DATA and MMS for Straighttalk sims on IPhone 4?I cant send or recieve pictures.My service keeps losin signal constantly saying no service then 1 bar,2 bars,3 bars...then back down to no service.It drops calls.Iv been trying to find out the answer to this problem for 2 weeks!I have no Profile selection in my settings either to do wat its showing online on one website.and have entered numerous diffrent APNs and none have worked!!!!PLEASE HELP!!!

They're asking a question about carrier settings for their iPhone. I think that has everything to do with Apple.
Maybe they did already ask Straight Talk. I've called Straight Talk before... they're not too helpful.
You know, this forum would be much friendlier if people in this forum would quit squabbling, & posting comedic replies, not too mention name calling (like I did), when people are just needing some help.
It's also frustrating that people stick up for the guy who doesn't help, but rather takes the time to post some smart alec reply. Granted, I shouldn't have name-called... some people just frustrate me when they act like that.
Admittedly, there ARE some grey areas when it comes to carrier questions... but let the moderators do their job when someone is asking innappropriate stuff. And if the mods aren't chiming in, then that's a good indication that what the thread is about IS in fact Apple related.

2-3 things to watch out for when SAP is the source for a Data Warehouse

Hello
What are 2-3 things to watch out for when SAP is the source for a Data Warehouse (Informatica for ETL and Cognos for reporting)?
Thanks
G. Vijay

Going through some or all of this might help:
Empty Safari's cache (from the Safari menu), then close Safari.
Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete the following files:
form values
download.plist
Then go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete
com.apple.Safari.plist
Repair permissions (in Disk Utility).
Start up Safari again, and things should have improved.
If not, MacFixit have published a very detailed (very!) article on speeding up a slow Safari, here:
http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20070416000657464
Many, including me, have also followed the advice given by others here to add DNS codes to their Network Settings, with good results in terms of speed-up:
Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu. Click on TCP/IP and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' enter the following two numbers:
208.67.222.220
208.67.220.222
Click on Apply Now and close the window.
Restart Safari, and repair permissions.

The table for storing data for infocube and ODS

Hi all:
could you please tell me how to find the table for storing data for infocube and ODS?
thank you very much!

Hi Jingying Sony,
To find tables for any infoprvider go to SE11.
In database table field enter the following
Cube -
Has fact table and dimension table
For customized cube - ie cube names not starting with ' 0 '
Uncompressed Fact table - /BIC/F<infocubename>
Compressed fact table - /BIC/E<infocubename>
Dimension table - /BIC/D<infocubename>
For standard cube - ie cube names starting with ' 0 '
Uncompressed Fact table - /BI0/F<infocubename>
Compressed fact table - /BI0/E<infocubename>
Dimension table - /BI0/D<infocubename>
Click on display.
For DSO,
For standard DSO active table- /BI0/A<DSO name>00.
You use 40 for new table.
Click on display.
For customized DSO use- /BIC/A<DSO name>00.
An easier way is in the database table field, write the name of the cube/DSO preceeded and followed by ' * ' sign. Then press F4 . It shall give you the names of the available table for that info provider.
Double click on the name and choose display.
Hope this helps,
Best regards,
Sunmit.
