Does the connectivity agent (ODBC or OLEDB) does the date conversion ?

I had a problema with some queries of an app. I used on dev a scenario with ODBC and made the INSERT/SELECT queries using 'CAST (***) AS DATE' or simply typing the date string on it. When I implemented the app on prod, with an OLEDB agent, it accused problem on queries with dates on it. I had to use TO_DATE instead of CAST...
Does that matter has something about the connectivity agent I was using on each time?
TY.

Hi LaRisa,
I was able to find the Excel Set Cell Format vi and successfully alter the format of the cell value. It wasn't until I had found the vi that I realised that i've been down this path before. Changing the format after the table has been created will not alter the switching of dd and mm values that has already occurred. However, if I did it before I 'created the table' (or Excel Table vi) and set the format to be "@" then it will display the string as 'Text' in the Excel file. This is nice. I can control which cell, row or column to format now. If I want it to be in a date format then I have to apply the Cell Format vi again after the Easy Excel Table vi.
This seems like a silly run around to me....

Problem with the date conversion

Hi Friends,
i am facing the problem with the date conversion, Actuall my requirement is to pass the date to the screen based on the user setting roles(SU01).
I have fetched the user setting date format by using the funciton module SUSR_GET_USER_DEFAULTS, The function module picks the exact user date setting (Like as MM/DD/YYYY, MM.DD.YYYY, DD.MM.YY).
After that i have implemented the FORMAT_DATE_4_OUTPUT funciton module for converting of the user role setting date format into system date format.
for the english language case the funciton module FORMAT_DATE_4_OUTPUT works fine but the funciton module not supported for other languages
Can you please provide the Function Moudle for user setting date conversion.
The funciton module is most important for us,
Thanks

Can SQL*Plus connect via ODBC to NON-Oracle data source?????

I am struggling to understand something. I downloaded Oracle instance client, SQL*Plus and ODBC components with the hopes of being able to connect via SQL*Plus to a non-Oracle/ODBC compliant database.
Is this possible? Or is SQL*Plus ability to connect via ODBC only to an Oracle data source??
Thanks...

sqlplus only connects to oracle. you can use the odbc driver from instant client to allow other applications to access oracle via odbc (e.g. excel). if you need to connect to non-oracle odbc database (ms-access, foxpro, etc.) you need odbc driver for those sources.
you can use sqldeveloper to connect to oracle and non-oracle databases. check otn product info for sqldeveloper for more details.

Based on the data Convert the datatype and make the wrong date as NULL

Hi,
In the below scenario we are inserting some time related fields in Temp table.But its data type is varchar. Once data loading is finished in the temp table (Data is loading by source team SQOOP and they are unable to load if the source datatype is having
Date or datetime) we have to alter the column datatypes. somehow, some character data in inserted in date columns (look at into 3rd insert statement). while altering the table it is failing. Can we do any alternative for this (Means if any varchar data that
is non convertible to date can we make as null)
INSERT INTO ##TEMP_TEST
SELECT '2014-09-30','2017-10-06','Nov 6 2014 6:11AM','Nov 6 2014 6:11AM'
UNION SELECT '2014-09-29','2017-10-06','Nov 6 2014 6:11AM','Nov 6 2014 6:11AM'
UNION SELECT '2014-09-28','2017-10-06','Nov 6 2014 6:11AM','Nov 6 2014 6:11AM'
GO
INSERT INTO ##TEMP_TEST SELECT NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL
GO
INSERT INTO ##TEMP_TEST SELECT 'A','B','C','D'
go
ALTER TABLE ##TEMP_TEST ALTER COLUMN CAREPACK_ST_DT DATE
GO
ALTER TABLE ##TEMP_TEST ALTER COLUMN CAREPACK_END_DT DATE
GO
ALTER TABLE ##TEMP_TEST ALTER COLUMN INS_GMT_TS DATETIME2
GO
ALTER TABLE ##TEMP_TEST ALTER COLUMN UPD_GMT_TS DATETIME2
GO
Please let me know.
Thanks and Regards Rajesh

Hi ,
We are using SQL Server 2008 SP3.
Thanks and Regards Rajesh
Then what you can do is to run a set of updates as below
UPDATE t
SET CAREPACK_ST_DT = NULL
FROM ##TEMP_TEST t
WHERE ISDATE(CAREPACK_ST_DT) = 0
AND LEN(CAREPACK_ST_DT) < 8
UPDATE t
SET CAREPACK_END_DT = NULL
FROM ##TEMP_TEST t
WHERE ISDATE(CAREPACK_END_DT) = 0
AND LEN(CAREPACK_END_DT) < 8
UPDATE t
SET INS_GMT_TS = NULL
FROM ##TEMP_TEST t
WHERE ISDATE(INS_GMT_TS) = 0
AND LEN(INS_GMT_TS) < 8
UPDATE t
SET UPD_GMT_TS = NULL
FROM ##TEMP_TEST t
WHERE ISDATE(UPD_GMT_TS) = 0
AND LEN(UPD_GMT_TS) < 8
And then do the date conversion using ALTER statements

I need to Export the data to excel using SSIS package

In excel i want to get the data as per datatype of that column header.
for Ex:one column has the datatype as number,the values that are getting into that column as text.
now i want to get that column data in number.
Is it possible

Thanks for your suggestion Vaibhav,
BUT
There i have given the datatype as numberic(10,2),but it not getting the values as given in excel we are getting that values as text only.
1.I have done the data conversion in the middle of source and excel destination.
2.(In excel destination)the values of copy of column name as numeric and output column name is Dt_wstr by default it is taking, when i change that datatype is again changing into Dt_WSTR.

Data conversion error. Overflowed the specific type.

Hi guys, as usual I am struggling with the data conversion. I have got a column BS as Float in SQL, the usual values is 10.5656445, 899.66552366 etc. I'll try to move in Excel the data but I wish to have only one decimal. I try decimal in the data conversion
with precision 1 but it returns me the same value now I am trying
numeric, precision 1 but it returns the error "Conversion failed because the data value overflowed the specified type". Any suggestion? Thanks

Could you tell me what should be the result for 10.5656445, 899.66552366? Is that 10.5, 899.6 ?
If yes then, set Precision: 4, Scale: 1
(This is a total of 4 digits, 3 digits for the whole number and 1 for the fractional)
Cheers,

How does the connection with ODBC work exactly?

Hi all,
I've got an application written in Java that uses a JDBC-ODBC bridge to connect to an Oracle 8.0.5. Then i got another java application(called the bridge from here on) that only routes traffic to another server. Say that I connect to my bridge using sockets and my bridge is located on machine: remotehost port: 4444 and all my bridge does is reading incoming data and routes to machine: oracleserver port: 1521. This works fine. Now i have "fooled" my main application that my oracleserver is located om machine: remotehost port: 4444. So I can connect to it by DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:tns-spec"); And in tns-spec I've stated that my oracleserver is in fact on port 4444. This works fine, but when I exit my bridge program the connection to the database is still there! Why? Does Oracle open a new socket of it's own and contacts my main application directly or what is happening?
Greatful for an answer is
Magnus

Think I've solved the problem, apperently oracle send data back, specifying on which port the data traffic should take. Say I contact Oracle machine remotehost port 1521 then I get a reply back, saying contact, remotehost port XXXX instead...Too bad...

Your first task should be to just be able to send commands to the instrument. Do as Dennis suggested and download the drivers for the instrument and get familiar with them. Build up small VIs that do little tasks with those drivers so you can get used to them. Then worry about your main interface.

HT5706 I have not used my apple tv in a few years, and just got it out of the bag. I connected it up, and it cannot set date, time. it also does not interact with the remote. Could it be as simple as a new batter is needed for remote?

I have not used my Apple TV in a few years, and just got it out of the bag to use on a new TV. I connected it up to power and with an HDMI cable toTV. It attempts to set date and time and cannot. I cannot get the remote to interact with the box also. Could it be something as simple as needing a new battery?

Any idea what this errorr means? the data type of the reference does not match the data type of the variable

I am using Veristand 2014, Scan Engine and EtherCat Custom Device. I have not had this error before, but I was trying to deploy my System Definition File (run) to the Target (cRio 9024 with 6 modules) and it failed. It wouldn't even try to communicate with the target. I get the 'connection refused' error.
I created a new Veristand project
I added the Scan Engine and EtherCat custom device.
I changed the IP address and auto-detected my modules
i noticed tat Veristand didn't find one of my modules that was there earlier. (this week)
So, i went to NiMax to make sure software was installed and even reinstalled Scan Engine and Veristand just to make sure.
Now, it finds the module, but when i go to deploy it getsto the last step of deploying the code to the target, and then it fails.
Any thoughts?

Can you deploy if you only have the two 9401 modules in the chassis (no other modules) and in the sysdef? I meant to ask if you could attach your system definition file to the forum post so we can see it as well (sorry for the confusion).
Are you using any of the specialty configurations for the 9401 modules? (ex: counter, PWM, quadrature, etc)
You will probably want to post this on the support page for the Scan Engine/EtherCAT Custom Device: https://decibel.ni.com/content/thread/8671
Custom devices aren't officially supported by NI, so technical questions and issues are handled on the above page.

Why does something as simple as the date on my computer being wrong cause firefox to not allow me to open any websites?

I saw others have this problem a few times...and people are trying to have them do all kinds of stuff to fix it. This is one of my errors:
This Connection is Untrusted
You have asked Firefox to connect securely to www.facebook.com, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.
Does that for everything. And sometimes it has a double confirmation to go to the site anyway. Other times it will not let you go to a site no matter what.
So I came here and I realized what it was on my own after reading some complicated fixes people suggested to others who posted this problem.
Look at the date...not on your phone...on the computer with the problem.
So you guys may wanna make part of the warning message mention to make sure the date is correct on your computer. Also you would think a program connected to the internet with access to the correct time would not go by the computers clock. Or maybe you should make it verify the date online when this error occurs so the error message could tell the user what's wrong...or at least let him go to a website. Or maybe not even scare the user with a totally bogus security warning.

I know I said I figured it out it's just stupid and I wanted others to see the easy solution. So my computers date was 2009 and a current 2014 security certificate was ruled unsafe by firefox. That's logic for ya. Maybe only consider the cert expired when it's PAST the expiration date. You know like read the definition of expired. I think they have it backwards.

SelectOneMenu does not show the data from the backing bean

Here is my code:

<h:inputText id="dir"
value="#{myBean.sourceDirectory}"/>

<h:commandButton value="fetch"
actionListener="#{myBean.processFetch}" />

<h:selectOneMenu value="#{myBean.selection}">
<f:selectItems value="#{myBean.dirs}"/>
</h:selectOneMenu>
public class MyBean{
private String sourceDirectory;
private ArrayList<SelectItem> dirs;
public String getSourceDirectory(){
return sourceDirectory;
public void setSourceDirectory(String newDir){
this.sourceDirectory = newDir;
public ArrayList<SelectItem> getDirs(){
return dirs;
public void setDirs(ArrayList<SelectItem> newDirs){
this.dirs = newDirs;
public void processFetch(ActionEvent e){
//For this example, we return some hard coded values
dirs = new ArrayList<SelectItem>();
SelectItem s1 = new SelectItem();
s1.setLabel(sourceDir + "_1");
SelectItem s2 = new SelectItem();
s2.setLabel(sourceDir + "_2");
SelectItem s3 = new SelectItem();
s3.setLabel(sourceDir + "_3");
SelectItem s4 = new SelectItem();
s4.setLabel(sourceDir + "_4");
dirs.add(s1);
dirs.add(s2);
dirs.add(s3);
dirs.add(s4);
When I run the above code, I notice that the first time, (and the only time), if I hit the "fetch" button the data in the drop-down menu does get refreshed.
Subsequently, it does not change. I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
Can someone help me?

Hi,
In order to use the JDBC persistence store you have to use a non XA JDBC driver for your Data Source.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/web.1111/e13701/store.htm#CNFGD221
Point-13). When configuring a connection pool to use with WebLogic JMS JDBC Store, use non-XA database drivers.

I just bought a new desktop and will be taking my old one to the apple store tomorrow to have the data transferred. Does the transfer include the transfer of programs or just data?

They will simply use Migration Assistant to transfer your Home folder, third-party applications and support files, and system preferences. This is something you could do yourself. You would need a Firewire cable to connect between your old computer and your new one. Migration Assistant is installed in the Utilities folder of your new computer.
See Transferring files between two computers using FireWire and How to use Migration Assistant to transfer files from another Mac.

Exactly what does the Data Drop-down List do?

What does the Data Drop-down List do? Is it used to make a drop-down list from certain records in a column in a table of a data base?

Yes, this is exactly what it does. However, it's a custom control, not a built-in control. JavaScript is used to set it up. In order to use it you have to have a data connection in the document and modify the "Initialize" script, which is were the list is populated from the DB. The "Initialize" code is a good example of how to use XFA JavaScript to access a DB. However, the code is also written in a very general manor and takes the long way around to hooking up to the DB. Much shorter code can be written for a specific DB.
