Hour:Minute presentation in Oracle

Hi,
I have to create table with every minute time presentation.
There will be three fields
TIME_DESC          Values: 00:00, 00:01,... , 12:32, 12:33,... ,23:58, 23:59 (according to hours and minutes)
Hour          Values: 00-23 (according to hours)
Minute          Values: 00-59 (according to Minutes)
So, single record will look like || 01:05 || 01 || 05 || or || 22:25 || 22 || 25 ||
How can i implement this table creation in single Oracle query?
Thanks.

About year(), month(), date(), hour(), minute(), second() in Oracle

In DB2, I can get the value of year, month, date, hour, minute, second from current timestamp by year(), month(), date(), hour(), minute(), second(). Like below SQL,
SELECT current timestamp, year(current timestamp), month(current timestamp), date(current timestamp), hour(current timestamp), minute(current timestamp), second(current timestamp) FROM DUAL
In Oracle, how can I modify above SQL?
That is, do we have the corresponding function to each one of them in DB2?
Thanks,
JJ

Hi Turloch,
Thanks for your help.
Here, I have another question.
How about the days caculation?
For example, in DB2, I have a SQL as below,
select
account_no
from
lit_transaction
where
( start_date + no_of_days days - exp_days days) <= CURRENT DATE
How can I modify above days caculation for Oracle?
Thanks,
J.

How can i bring Hour,Minute, second info in RMAN log ?

DB version: 11.2.0.3

How can I implement the equivalent of below statement for RMAN logging ?
alter session set nls_date_format='DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS';

HI,
Very interesting question. I think there is no difference. I did the test. There is no difference in terms of performance. But I'm always on the way RMAN Strategist

Displaying the hour, minute, seconds.....

Hi fellow experts!
Once again I call upon you for help. I'm strugglng with the formatting of dates...specifically the hour, minute, seconds between two dates.
Sample data:
create table test (script_name varchar2(50),run_start date,run_end date, job_id number, parent_job_id number);
insert into test (script_name,run_start,run_end,job_id,parent_job_id) values ('IMPORTMTM','09-FEB-10','09-FEB-10','2409671','2409645');
insert into test (script_name,run_start,run_end,job_id,parent_job_id) values ('INT_EOD_VALUATIONS','09-FEB-10','09-FEB-10','2409673','2409645');
insert into test (script_name,run_start,run_end,job_id,parent_job_id) values ('ACC_EOD_FXACCOUNTING','09-FEB-10','09-FEB-10','2409677','2409645');
insert into test (script_name,run_start,run_end,job_id,parent_job_id) values ('GLO_EOD_FXUPDATE ','09-FEB-10','09-FEB-10','2409679','2409645');
insert into test (script_name,run_start,run_end,job_id,parent_job_id) values ('MX_PREACCOUNTING_BACKUP_RP','09-FEB-10','09-FEB-10','2409683','2409645');
insert into test (script_name,run_start,run_end,job_id,parent_job_id) values ('DM_PREACCOUNTING_BACKUP_RP','09-FEB-10','09-FEB-10','2409684','2409645');
insert into test (script_name,run_start,run_end,job_id,parent_job_id) values ('IMP_FIXING','09-FEB-10','09-FEB-10','2409688','2409645');
insert into test (script_name,run_start,run_end,job_id,parent_job_id) values ('GLO_EOD_FIXINGIRD','09-FEB-10','09-FEB-10','2409690','2409645');
insert into test (script_name,run_start,run_end,job_id,parent_job_id) values ('WAIT_5_MINS','09-FEB-10','09-FEB-10','2409692','2409645');
The output of the time should look like the results from the query below:
select floor((run_end-run_start)*24) as Hrs ,floor(((run_end-run_start)*1440 - floor((run_end-run_start)*24)*60)) as Mins,
ceil(((run_end-run_start)*86400 - floor((run_end-run_start)*1440)*60)) as Secs
from (
select to_date('10-oct-2003 15:02:23','DD-Mon-YYYY HH24:Mi:SS') as run_start,
to_date('10-oct-2003 16:20:20','DD-Mon-YYYY HH24:Mi:SS') as run_end
from dual);
i.e
H M S
1 17 57
My current sql is:
select script_name,
run_start,
run_end,
floor((run_end-run_start)*24) as Hrs ,floor(((run_end-run_start)*1440 - floor((run_end-run_start)*24)*60)) as Mins,
ceil(((run_end-run_start)*86400 - floor((run_end-run_start)*1440)*60)) as Secs
from (
select lpad(' ',5*level,' ')||name script_name
,to_date(run_start,'dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss') run_start, to_date(run_end,'dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss') run_end,
sys_connect_by_path(to_date(run_start,'dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss'),'/') root_start
from jcs_jobs
connect by prior job_id = parent_job_id
start with PARENT_JOB_ID IS NULL and job_id = 2409645
I need a slight tweak somewhere, but can't quite get there!
Oracle version is 9i
Many thanks for your help in advance.

If the results are not from that data, then post a consistent set of data and results.
When you have poted some sample data and the results you want from that data , explain how you get those results. Pick a couple of rows of output, and explain how you got every column in the results from the data. Be specific.
The table has a 'pig ear' relationship......so job_id can have the same parent_job_id.....What is a "pig ear" relationship? (I like the name.)

Save date with precision (Hour, Minutes, seconds ) using V.O.

Hi all,
I'm using Jdeveloper 11g.
I have an Entity object with a column called 'createdOn' of type Date and an entity based View Object with the same type.
I'm trying to save today's Date with precision (day, month, year, hour, minutes, seconds) Using the view Object, but when I look in the Data Base, always appears the date without time.
Here is my code in the application Module to save the data, I've tried some things but nothing...
First I've tried using oracle.jbo.domain.Date, and I've tryed using Calendar as well. Nothing with
ViewObjectImpl voSample = getSamples1View1();
//Date creation for View Object
oracle.jbo.domain.Date today = new Date(Date.getCurrentDate());
//Calendar today = Calendar.getInstance();
//loop through the list of samples (TESTGROUPTYPES), and create the objects
while( it.hasNext())
Row rowSample = voSample.createRow();
SequenceImpl sequence = new SequenceImpl("SAMPLES_SEQ", voSample.getApplicationModule());
rowSample.setAttribute("SampleId", sequence.getSequenceNumber());
rowSample.setAttribute("CollectionId", stCollectionId);
rowSample.setAttribute("TestgroupType",it.next());
rowSample.setAttribute("UnitId",stUnitId);
rowSample.setAttribute("SampleStatus", "ORDERED");
rowSample.setAttribute("SampleBackup", "false");
rowSample.setAttribute("CreatedOn", today);
voSample.insertRow(rowSample);
voSample.getApplicationModule().getTransaction().commit();
Any help will be usefull,
thanks in advance

Hello John,
yes, I changed the date mask using
alter session set NLS_DATE_FORMAT='DD/MM/YYYY-hh24:mi:ss'
if i execute to_char(<date_column>, 'YY-MON-DD HH:MI:SS') on that column, the result is:
09-MAY-27 12:00:00
09-MAY-27 12:00:00
09-MAY-27 12:00:00
To launch the queries and see the results I'm using the JDeveloper's SQL WorkSheet.
I can update the data and time and the time persists in the DB
08-FEB-26 08:07:56
so, i think there's something in hte EO, VO or App Module method that I'm doing wrong...
The Entity Attribute is confirured:

Unable to exract hour,minute,seconds from current_timestamp or systimestamp

Hi All,
I am trying to extract hour,minute,seconds from systimestamp/current_timestamp using extract function but unable to get the correct o/p.
I am getting the correct o/p using the to_char function but i want to know is it not possible to use extract function to achieve the same?
Following are the queries i tried.
ALTER SESSION SET time_zone = local;
SELECT current_timestamp,
EXTRACT(hour FROM current_timestamp) hour_part,
EXTRACT(minute FROM current_timestamp) minute_part,
EXTRACT(second FROM current_timestamp) seconds_part,
EXTRACT(timezone_hour FROM current_timestamp) TH,
EXTRACT(timezone_minute FROM current_timestamp) TM
FROM dual;
Output:

Here hour_part is coming has 6 instead of 12(from current_timestamp), minute has 54 instead of 24.
Please help me on this.
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
If you whish to use a TZ, you should use the localtimestamp instead:
ALTER SESSION SET TIME_ZONE = ' ASIA/CALCUTTA';
select '1',current_timestamp,EXTRACT(hour FROM current_timestamp) hour_part,
EXTRACT(minute FROM current_timestamp) minute_part,
EXTRACT(second FROM current_timestamp) seconds_part from dual
union all
select '2', LOCALTIMESTAMP,EXTRACT(hour FROM LOCALTIMESTAMP) hour_part,
EXTRACT(minute FROM LOCALTIMESTAMP) minute_part,
EXTRACT(second FROM LOCALTIMESTAMP) seconds_part from dual
'1'     CURRENT_TIMESTAMP     HOUR_PART     MINUTE_PART     SECONDS_PART

I am looking for a timer that shows elapsed time since a particular date and time. Showing days, hours, minutes etc.

I would like to download an application for my desktop and maybe even my iphone that will tell me how many days, hours, minutes, etc have elapsed since a particular date.
For example, my brother just had a baby and I want to put that date and time into the app and then determine how long it has been since that date and time.
Hopefully this makes sense, because I have not been able to locate anything.
Thanks in advance,

This is fantastic. Thank you.
Is there any way to have something like this displayed on my desktop showing the time as it ticks away?

How do I log the time in hours, minutes and seconds to a table

Hi
I'm a relatively new user of Labview. I am currently writing a program that logs the temperature of an oven and the current time to a table and graph. I am using a GPIB card to communicate with the oven. I have used the Get Date/Time string to get the time and the Decimal String to Number to convert the time to a number which I have then put into an array which goes to a table and graph. My problem at the moment is that the time is being logged in hours only. I need to log the time in hours, minutes and seconds. Can you tell me how I can do this?

Hi,
I can see the setup now. The decimal string to number will only ever give the hours, since the ':' character is not part of a number, so won't translate. Use the code I attached previously to get the time as a timestamp, and then go from there.
I've made some modifications, although you'll need to alter the file save to take into account the double precision number
for the timestamp is now 3E+9 (since it's seconds since 1904!!), but since you're writing to a comma separated values (or tab deliminated) style file, this shouldn't be a problem. You could always do a textual save from the table instead.
Thanks

Write elapsed time to a spreadsheet in hours:minutes:seconds format

Hi everyone,
I've been trying to write an elapsed time to a spreadsheet file in an hours:minutes:seconds format, but the time is displayed in a floating point value of seconds..
how can I write to a spreadsheet in an hours:minutes:seconds format.
Thank you,
James-

I often use a subVI that converts Seconds to Hours, Minutes and Seconds. Use the Quotient and Remainder function to divide your elapsed time by 3600, 60 and 1. You can then convert those values to a modified string and use the Write to Spreadsheet File.
As Dennis said, newer versions of LabVIEW's Write to Spreadsheet File.VI can handle arrays of Double, Integer or String automatically, and in older versions, the Write to Spreadsheet File.VI can be modified and copied to handle strings.
Hope this helps.

Convert seconds to Days, hours, Minutes, Seconds in Reporting Services

Hi Guys,
Im currently reporting of an analysis services cube, however I have value which is in seconds and would like to report on this in reporting services as day:HH:MM:SS.
Has anyone got any experience reporting in this format?
Regards
Dave

Hi Dave,
We can use custom code to convert seconds to HH:MM:SS
Public Function Calculate(ByVal TotalSeconds as Integer) as String
Dim Hours, Minutes, Seconds As Integer
Dim Hour, Minute, Second As String
Hours = floor(TotalSeconds/ 3600)
IF Hours<10
   Hour="0" & Hours.ToString
Else
   Hour=Hours.ToString
End IF
Seconds = TotalSeconds Mod 3600
Minutes =floor( Seconds / 60)
IF Minutes<10
   Minute="0" & Minutes.ToString
Else
   Minute=Minutes.ToString
End IF
Seconds = Seconds Mod 60
IF Seconds<10
   Second="0" & Seconds.ToString
Else
   Second=Seconds.ToString
End IF
Return Hour & ":" & Minute & ":" & Second
End Function
Then we can use the expression to conver it.
=Code.Calculate(Fields!Column.Value)
The report looks like below:

What is the best way to explain Indesign in a four minute presentation?

I have to give a four minute presentation on a technology (in this case InDesign) in class. How do you cover such a broad technology in four minutes? Suggestions would be great!

You could investigate the problems in trying to reconcile "old" technology of creating physical pages, of a fixed size and without any other interactivity than turning the page, with modern variants where page size is non-existent, interactivity is *expected*, and there is no such thing as a fixed font, font size, or page orientation.
InDesign's original purpose was to create "old" technology books, but recent versions claim to be of use for other media as well. Discuss overlaps and differences.
(For a good look on one of the problematic areas, you can search this forum for the eternal confusion on "what is a pixel, actually?")
