Get long and integer from 8 into 10g

Hi.
I have a table like this in oracle 817
name null type
ldkey not null number
ldtext long
the ldtext field represents long descriptions in the oracle 817 system.
I have read only access to the system via a login and also a public database link.
I need to do some substring and concatenation on queries that join to this table to build an output of a select statement, however
it is not proving easy to figure out how to do so.
If I try to concatenate or select the descriptions as is (some of the components in the concatenation are in the long field) I get an 'incompatible datatypes' message.
If I try to do a subselect insert like mentioned below, I get a message about not being able to use the lob function on
a remote tble.
I don't have dba control over my own destiny, so I can't just dream up database links etc as I would like, just deal with the
data /database access as it is.
thanks
Jeff
I tried this from http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/functions185.htm :
CREATE TABLE new_table (col1, col2, ... lob_col CLOB);
INSERT INTO new_table (select o.col1, o.col2, ... TO_LOB(o.old_long_col)
FROM old_table o

  • PSE 8 Organizer: Bug in "Get Photos and Videos from Files and Folders"

    In PSE8 Organizer, I have a weird bug that occurs when I am using Get Photos and Videos from Files and Folders on certain folders on my hard drive. If the "Files of Type" filter is left as the default ("Media files (photos, audio, video)"), whenever I click on a file in the file browser, three or four files or folders seem to disappear from the folder. I can keep clicking on different items until every file and folder has apparently vanished from the folder. Looking in Windows Explorer, the files and folders are still there, and if I switch the "Files of Type" filter to "All Files", everything reappears and the behavior no longer occurs.
    I'm not sure why only certain folders show this behavior. It may have something to do with the types of files or folders in the folder I'm looking at, but I'm not sure.
    Has anyone else seen this happen?

    Are you on Win 7? If the files in the Get Photos dialog disappear after you select them,confirm if the names of selected files/folders is shown under the File name . If yes, you can import these files by clicking Open. You should find the issue addressed in E9.
    Thanks

  • Why do contacts name keep getting longer and longer?

    On some of my contacts, the name keeps getting longer and longer.
    For example, if my name is Jason Kahng.
    After a few weeks, when I lookup my name in Contacts it comes up as "Jason Kahng Jason Kahng Jason Kahng"
    This is very annoying. If I edit the name back down to Jason Kahng, it will do this again a few weeks later.
    Please let me know how to fix this problem.

  • Getting Oracle RDB 7 database into 10g howto

    Hello,
    We have an old database in Oracle RDB 7 on an older OpenVMS system that we would like to somehow import into a new Oracle 10g database running under Unix. I'm familiar with OpenVMS and Unix, Oracle 8i and later, but don't have much of a clue about Oracle RDB, which seems a complete different product.
    So far I found out that export and import in Oracle RDB are completely different from Oracle 10g in terms of compatibility and unction. Perhaps there is some way to use RMU/Extract under RDB? Can the complete database be saved in e.g. text delimited or other suitable formats? Whatever I do however must not change anything on the original RDB database.
    Thanks in advance for any advice and help!
    Best regards,
    Markus Waldorf

    (I have never worked on RDB but) I just carried out a brief search on internet regarding Oracle RDB 7 and it seems it can be exported using ODBC (however, the options are limited).
    I would advise you to get in touch with Oracle support or Oracle RDB provider. May be they can help you out with this.

  • NI Session Manager gets slower and slower from call to call!

    I have the following problem with NI-Session-Manager:
    I use Session Manager a lot on my test systems. Now that I have a test system running that makes many Session Manager Calls I noticed that after a while the system gets slower and slower. I�ve attached a Sequence File, which demonstrates this problem.
    This sequence file is based on the LV Session Manager Example, which ships with TestStand.
    Instructions: In the UI-Msg Field of the Sequence Editor you will see how long the actual run took to execute. Every run makes 500 calls to Session Manager. You will notice that every run takes a little bit longer than the previous. After 100 runs the difference is significant.
    Although my example uses a COM
    port to demonstrate the problem this problem is really related to Session Manager because the same happens if I use an IVI-Instrument (i.e. NI-DMM, NI-Switch, �)
    Any help appreciated!

    Herbert -
    Thanks for the feedback. I will look into item (1).
    The design of the session manager was to solve the problem of only having to share an instrument within a multithread application. If the session already exists, than you get the same session and thus the same handle, and the instrument is only initialize once and closed after the session no longer exists.
    In the case of a C++ based program you would have to add the session as a member variable that has a specific lifetime. When the object is release, so will the session.
    In the case of an application like TestStand, you just attach the session to the execution. Once the execution goes away, the session may go away if no other execution is using it.
    In the case of L
    abVIEW being called from TestStand, you are using VIs as subroutines, so either the application (TestStand) must manage the lifetime of the session, or the VI subroutine must deligate the lifetime control to a "global" VI. The item you attach to the global could be the refnum itself or the SMgr session. One way of doing this would be to create a VI that serves the refnum to you but internally manages the lifetime of the ActiveX references to the Session Manager sessions. This would be a simple vector of names and their sessions. When called the VI would lookup and return a refnum from an existing session or create a new session and return a refnum for it.

  • How to get new and updated data into LO Excel in Xcelsius

    Dear Experts,
    I have created dashboard on top of webi report by using Live-Office connection. Latest data of webi report is imported into excel and mapped data with components and generated SWF file and exported into server.
    To day my webi report has latest instance with new and updated data. But until unless by clicking "Refresh All Objects" i am not getting updated data into excel.
    When i am trying to open dashboard in BI Launch Pad/CMC it is showing data whatever exist in excel(i.e yesterday data). But here we need to show data of latest instance of webi report.(i.e New and updated data as of now).
    I have selected option "Latest instance: From latest instance scheduled by" in "refresh options".
    My Question & Doubts:
    1) Is it mandatory to open dashboard every day and need to click on "Refresh All Objects" to get updated data into excel or dashboard.
    2) Is there any option to automate this process.
    Regards,
    PRK.

    Hi,
    Schedule the webi report to get the latest data from the source. To answer your query no is doesn't require to open the dashboard every time to refresh the excel to get the latest data.
    Please use the Refresh Before Components are Loaded: Select this option to refresh the data each time the model loads and to use that data as the initial data for the model (using a Reset Button component, it will reset the data to the values from the last time the model was loaded).
    You are using the Live Office  so here automatic refresh is not possible without touch the swf file, you need to use the refresh but to get the latest data. If you are using QAAWS, Web Service & XML then automatic refresh is possible.
    For more information please check the below document for in-depth idea on the design pattern.

  • Any F.Module is there to get  'Month and day '  from the given input number

    Hi experts,
        I am working on Inventory withdrawl report and in the selection screen, If i enter the CHARG (Batch number) then  I need to display the posting date by default in the next selection input based on the Batch number.
    In the selection screen :
    Batch : 7111WF0211.
    Posting Date :  (I need to display by default based on batch number).
    My requirement is,  in the above Batch first digit '7' is the year.
    And  from 2nd to 4th digit. i.e., 111. I need to find out month and day from 111.
    I mean from  1 to 365 days, In which day and which month '111' will come ?
    Please send me the code or suitable Function Module. Your help will be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ranji.

    Use FM ADD_TIME_TO_DATE
    Do this
    days = batch+1(3).
    days = days - 1.
    Call Function 'ADD_TIME_TO_DATE'
    exporting
    i_idate = '01.01.2008'
    i_time = days
    i_iprkz = 'D'
    importing
    o_idate = date_p_d
    You will get the date in date_p_d.
    But what about Leap years? IS the first number the year?
    IF so pass in i_idate the first of january of that year so you get the correct day depending if it is a leap year or not

  • How do I get music and movies from iPod to my computer?

    Hi How can I put all of my music and movies that are on my iPod onto my computer? They were all on my computer before but became erased. Thanks!

    If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    TuneJack Windows Only
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    iRepo Windows Only
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
    If your iPod is set to update automatically you need to take care connecting to an empty iTunes. You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7 installed hold down the Control and Alt keys (or Shift + Ctrl keys in older versions). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes 7 Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
    Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

  • Get colors and text from Legend or chart?

    It seems to be impossible ( or at least I cannot find a way to ) to wrap the labels in the Legend control.
    so I will have to write my own legend control that can do this.
    In order to create a Legend control I will need to get a array of the colors used in the Chart ( or legend) and apply these to the new legend control. Can anyone advise how I can do this?
    thanks

    Hi Natasha
    I have tried:
    for each(var item in myChart.series.legendData ){
    trace("series item is : " + item);
    And
    for each(var item in myChart.series.items){
    trace("series item is : " + item);
    UPDATE: I have also tried:
    trace ("legendData is : " + myChart.series[0].legendData); 
    trace("items is : " + myChart.series[0].items);
    for each(var item:Array in myChart.series[0].legendData){ 
    trace("series item is : "+ item);
    And again the trace statement in the for each loop is never reached, and the other trace statements are empty (besides the initial string), yet I can see in the variables window of Eclipse that there should be data.
    And I have a breakpoint on the trace statement, yet in both cases the breakpoint is never reached. I am not getting any error message.
    Also, when editing, when I put the '.' after myChart.series I do not get either legendData or items in the 'intellisense', just methods. Perhaps the intellisense is very limited.
    Anyway, can you advise on another way to get the colors and labels from a chart so I can create my own legend, which can wrap the labels?
    Many thanks
