Help convert date please
I have 3 possible length Dates stored in a VARCHAR2 field type, I am trying to convert that for a friend:
we are looking for this in the End as either a Date or a Number field or both (that's what is needed)
20110829 YYYYMMDD
what I have is these distinct length type on the field:
8
07/13/13
9
6/30/2012
10
10/13/2011
Can someone help me convert this field to either number: 20120512 or Date YYYYMMDD ? both examples would help too :- ) learning
You can use the below to find the problem date(s) in your table. The SELECT obviously needs to be updated with your table/column names
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION dateconvert(p_chardate VARCHAR2)
RETURN VARCHAR2
AS
v_date DATE;
BEGIN
v_date := TO_DATE(p_chardate, 'MM/DD/RR');
RETURN 'OK';
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
RETURN p_chardate;
END;
SELECT datecol
FROM datetable
WHERE dateconvert(datecol) != 'OK';

PHP need help formating date, please.
I am working on my first database page using repeating fields
and a
connection to MySQL, and actually have it working! Yay!
Now I have a formatting problem, and would appreciate a bit
of help.
The first column of the repeating field is a date field,
which is stored
as a date type in mysql, and shows up in my table as
2008-03-12 (which
is how it was entered into the table). I would like to change
the
display to March 12, 2008. I have tried using the date
function, but
without success. The text that php is putting in the cell is
"2008-03-12", which I am guessing is not a valid timestamp. I
am also
guessing that this is why I get a date in 1969 when I try
this...
The page is here:
http://www.verodelmar.com/agendas.php
and the source is here:
http://www.verodelmar.com/agendas.txt
Thanks to anyone that takes the time to look!

The former I think I understand.
The latter I have printed out and will look at some more.
Actually in
theory I understand, but how to do that in my control panel
is what I
need to look at.
Thanks!

Need help with dates please-urgent
Hi folks, please help me with this if you can.
I run a weekly job, and need to have my java code create and use 2 dates to capture data for the whole week.
begin_date mm/dd/yyyy (String) to be 7 days prior to current date
end_date mm/dd/yyyy (String) to be the currecnt date
Note: please take into account the cases where the CURRENT_DATE is the first week of the month. As a result the 7 days prior will fall into the previous month. i.e if end_date="06/04/2003" then the begin_date will be "05/29/2003 Thanks a bunchhttp://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/api/index.html

I need help converting date interger in string.
I am a beginner if you can even say that..... But to the point I'm using Dreamweaver and I'm pulling data from my database and it's being displayed on my webpage. Currently the code below pulls the month from the database as a number. I would like it to pull the date and change it from a number to it corresponding abbreviated month. ( ie. if it pulls 12-01-11 I need the 12 to be displayed as DEC on my website.) any help is much appreciated.
<?php echo $row_frt_summary['month']; ?>You can do it either in SQL or PHP,
For MySQL, use the date_format function with the %b specifier: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/date-and-time-functions.html#function_date-format
For PHP, use date_fomat with the M format character: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date-format.php
Also, PHP, SQL and application development questions should be posted in the app dev forum. -

i was updating software and suddenly my IPHONE started asking for I tunes on mobile screen , how can i get by screen back or How i can restore without loosing data , I m more worried about data , Please help in resolutio
What exactly are you seeing on the phone's screen ? If the iTunes icon and cable then the phone is in recovery mode, in which case it's too late to take a new backup or to copy any content off the phone - you will have to connect the phone to your computer's iTunes and reset it back to factory defaults, after which you can restore to the last backup that you took or just resync your content to it

I am a macbook pro user form last 2 yrs, recently i upgraded to Mountain Lion from Snow leopard. Since then operational speed is a major concern. Now It has crashed so very badly that I am scared of my data.Please help me.
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless. -
Need help in converting date format
Hi,
Need help in converting date format from 'DD-MON-YYYY' to 'YYYY-MM-DD' in an .rtf template as I believe xml publisher supports the date format as 'YYYY-MM-DD' only.
Thanks,
Raj.I got the same problem, anyone know how to solve this problem? I allready found some date functions on http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2008/09/date_functions.html . I also tried <?xdoxslt:month_name(xdoxslt:get_month(xdofx:substr(NEED_BY_DATE, 4,3)), $_XDOLOCALE), 0, 'nl-NL')?>, but then it returns a namespace error (Caused by: oracle.xdo.parser.v2.XPathException: Namespace prefix 'xdofx' used but not declared.). Anyone know how to fix this?

Help convert LV5.1vi to 8.x please.
Can someone help convert the vi at the link below to a contemporary version of LV?
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/558
I don't have anything old enough installed to open it. I don't even know what it is, but one of my users requested it.
Thanks in advance!
Chris
Solved!
Go to Solution.Here it is in 8.2, though once you see it, I think you will find it would be easier to just use Read From Spreadsheet File.

My iPhone4s turned itself off and will not turn back on unless it is charged at all times. I need help and answers please.
And we would need more info. "will not turn back on unless it is charged at all times." is pretty obvious: the phone will obviously not turn on unless it is charged.
