How to convert Oct 12, 2005 03:25:57 PM IST into date type using To_Date

Hi Friends,
I am converting following string to date format in oracle 8i
TO_DATE('Oct 12, 2005 03:25:57 PM IST','Mon DD, YYYY HH24:MI:SS AM TDZ') from Dual,
But it is throwing
ORA-01820: format code cannot appear in date input format error.
Anybody help!!!
Regards
Shameem

Hi,
ORA-01820 format code cannot appear in date input format
Cause: A date specification contained an invalid format code. Only the following may be specified when entering a date: year, month, day, hours, minutes, seconds, Julian day, A.M./P.M. and B.C./A.D.
Action: Remove the invalid format code from the date specification.
This one works (if the input string always has the same length / format):
TO_DATE(substr('Oct 12, 2005 03:25:57 PM IST',1,21),'Mon DD, YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
Regards,
Gerd
P.S. Sorry, of course we have to take care of the P.M.:
TO_DATE(substr('Oct 12, 2005 03:25:57 PM IST',1,24),'Mon DD, YYYY HH:MI:SS PM')
Regards,
Gerd

How to get the values from struct data type using java code..?

Hi ,
I am newer to java.
we are using oracle database.
How to get the data from struct data type using java code.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Rajeev,
To retrieve a FilterContainer you will need to traverse the report structure:
ReportStructure boReportStructure = boDocumentInstance.getStructure();
ReportContainer boReportContainer = (ReportContainer) boReportStructure.getReportElement(0);
FilterContainer boFilterContainer = null;
if (boReportContainer.hasFilter()) {
boFilterContainer = boReportContainer.getFilter();
} else {
boFilterContainer = boReportContainer.createFilter(LogicalOperator.AND);
Calling boDocumentInstance.getStructure() will retrieve the entire structure for the document.
Calling boReportStructure.getReportElement(0) will retrieve the structure for the first report of the document.
Hope this helps.

How to convert PM Module Breakdown Duration (AUSZT) floating point value into Minutes

Hi Frnds,
My requirement is to display a normal alv report. Out of which one of the filed is from VIQMEL-AUSZT (Breakdown Duration).
Which is of Data type FLTP.
Details:

Breakdown Duration
1.6100000000000000E+02
Now I want to convert the value '1.6100000000000000E+02' into Minutes.
Kindly let me know the solution.
Note: I tried with standard FM 'PM_TIME_CONVERSION' and converted the break down value into hours.
For example: 1.6100000000000000E+02 to 4,472222222222222E-02.
But i want to convert the break down duration value into perfect minutes.
With Regards,
Sudhir.

Simply equate to a variable of type P decimals zero. It should give you value in seconds. Divide it by 60 to have it in minutes.

How can I retrieve a LONG data type using ADO

In VB I am using an ADODB object to retrieve data from an Oracle table that has a LONG data type column...
specifically: SELECT TRIGGER_BODY FROM USER_TRIGGERS WHERE TRIGGER_NAME = 'MYTRIGGER'
I have tried using the GETCHUNK method but it only returns the first 150 or so characters no matter how
many times I call it???? here is the sample code I'm using........
Dim Cn As ADODB.Connection, Rs As ADODB.Recordset, SQL As String
Dim sChunk() As Byte
Set Cn = New ADODB.Connection
Set Rs = New ADODB.Recordset
Cn.CursorLocation = adUseServer
Cn.Open "Provider=OraOLEDB.Oracle.1;Password=hrzadmin;Persist Security
Info=True;UserID=hadmin;Data Source=xxx.local"
SQL = "SELECT trigger_body from user_triggers where trigger_name = 'MYTRIGGER'"
Rs.Open SQL, Cn, adOpenStatic, adLockReadOnly
Debug.Print Rs!trigger_name
Debug.Print Rs!trigger_body
sChunk = rs.Fields("trigger_body").GetChunk(500)
Debug.Print sChunk

I have a similar code which works for chunk size >400,
The image I am trying to retrieve is huge so the chunksize is also more.
Did you try with any non meta table?
For your reference I am pasting my application code below.
Hope it helps.

How to sync the album and track info that I entered into a CD using iTunes with the actual disc?

Hello,
I recently recorded some cover songs, and I imported them into iTunes. So, after entering the track info (track names and album art) into each track using "Get Info", I burned them to a CD. I was completely shocked that the track info and album artwork did not get inputted onto the CD. So, I entered the track info, but could not add the album artwork.
How to add the album artwork is not as important a question. But it's one of my 2.75 questions.
My other issue is that the info that I put on the CD using iTunes is only visible within iTunes. Therefore, I cannot get the track names elsewhere.
My 2.5 questions are:
1) How do I get the track and album info to display in Windows Explorer and Windows Media Player (and the touchscreen CD Player in the car)?
2) How do I add digital album artwork to the CD (so that it shows on the touchscreen CD Player in the car - if iPods have the artwork and it shows on the car's screen, a CD should be able to show the artwork on the car's screen, when talking about limitations of the car)
2.5) How do I make that artwork display across everywhere I plug that disc into?
2.75) How do I ensure that when others import my CD, my artwork, track names, and album name also import from the CD?
I have already burnt the CD, so I would prefer a way to tweak the properties of the already burnt CD rather than burning a whole new disc.
Thank you!
-Royce

1) Metadata visibility in Windows Explorer and/or Windows Media Player depends on OS version and file type. The mp3 format has the widest support. As for the touchscreen CD Player in your car who can say? If it can play data discs the results will be better than with audio CD. If it can display CD text then this option should be selected when creating an audio CD.
2) Artwork cannot be attached to the tracks on an audio CD. If your car system supports it all then it will be with data discs. Check the specifications of the system for the media types it can support on a data disc.
2.5) Simply ensure the artwork is embedded in the tag.
I have two scripts that can help with this, CreateFolderArt and EmbedFolderArt.
The scripts have a slightly different purpose.
CreateFolderArt ensures that every album folder ends up with a Folder.jpg image which is the art that iTunes already knows about. Side effects are that if artwork has been updated in iTunes the folder art should be updated also, and if any track from the album doesn't have embedded artwork it gets embedded.
EmbedFolderArt was actually written for someone who already had various artwork images stored in the folders and wanted them added to their tracks, but not if iTunes had already downloaded a better quality image.
2.75) Again, use a data disc format. Note that you should not be giving away copies of copyrighted material.
Audio CDs are finalized, you cannot change any properties of them unless they are on rewritable media in which case you can erase the whole disc and start over.

How to change existing terminals from "view as icon" to view as data type through program

I got some legacy LabVIEW code from other people. And there are tons of existing terminals displayed as icon. Is there any way to do batch process to change all of them to view as data type?
Thanks a lot!
Solved!

If you have a VI in 2010, you can save it as far back as 8.0. There is a thread on this forum dedicated to downconvert requests (and on for upconvert, as well). So post your VI there, and it will probably be converted quickly.
Scripting has existed in LabVIEW since about version 5.1. It was created to support scripting LabVIEW code in products such as the DAQ Assistant and Motion Assistant. The first product to use this technology was the Vision Assistant. However, the early versions are very primitive with limited or no support for common functions (e.g. Delete). Usually, support was added when it was needed for a project. Scripting took a huge leap in quality when LabVIEW 7.0 was released, since it is used behind the scenes to generate the code for Express VIs (which were introduced in 7.0). Scripting steadily improved in quality and features until it was released to general use in LabVIEW 2009. We are still working to expose all the development time functionality.
Take home message is that you can downconvert your VI, but there is no guarantee that the functionality you have in LabVIEW 2010 will exist in 7.1. While this is true in general, it is especially true of scripting functions.

How to create a generic stack (whose elements can be of any data types) ???

How do you define a "Stack" class that takes the Data type as its constructor argument ,and creates a new instance of that stack type ??? e.g. Stack("double") should create a stack of doubles ,and so on...
     Putting it in another way, how do you go about defining a Stack ,if you are not sure what data types will be pushed into it at runtime ??? Making a Stack of Objects doesn't seem the appropriate choice since, in that case also, you won't be sure of which of the "parseInt(),paresDouble(),Integer(),Double() etc." functions to retrieve the value.

Write your own stack class which delegates push and pop calls to an internal instance of the java.util.Stack. In addition the class has an attribute of type Class. When the push method is invoked the object in the argument will be tested whether it is an instance of the class stored in the type attribute. If not an IllegalArgumentException should be thrown.
Here is the minimal code for such a type-save stack (the main method shows its usage):
import java.util.Stack;
public class TypeSaveStack {
    private Stack _stack = new Stack();
    private Class _type;
    public TypeSaveStack(Class type) {
        _type = type;
    public void push(Object element) {
        if (_type.isInstance(element)) {
            _stack.push(element);
        } else {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException(element
                              + " is not an instance of " + _type);
    public Object pop() {
        return _stack.pop();
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        TypeSaveStack doubleStack = new TypeSaveStack(Double.class);
        doubleStack.push(new Double(Math.PI));
        System.out.println(doubleStack.pop());
        try {
            doubleStack.push("foo");
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println(e);
}

How to read varbinary data type using sql server

I understand this question is related to your previous thread and I believe what Erland suggested is the best way to implement this.

I believe when the user uploads the data its getting uploaded onto the Application Server, You could then open the file and import the files into SQL server(all using application code) and do the manipulations. I believe this is the better way of handling
this.
Also what is the expected file size and what is the kind of data you are expecting?

How can i re-enable/restore a disabled iPad and keep the data without using a laptop or iCloud

Hello,
Is there a way to re-enable a disabled iPad and maintain the data taking into consideration that no iCloud backup was made and the computer it was last synced with was not available? any idea?

No, sorry. Without a backup in iCloud or iTunes, you will have to set it up as if new and anything on it will be lost now.
You can always re-download purchased apps and content (other than audiobooks) once it is restored, from the respective iTunes or App stores.

How to convert String to date ? - MS access

I want to convert a string "10-10-08" [ MM-dd-yy ] into date type in same format to use that in query statement [MS Access].
In table , I am using field called "date" with "MM-dd-yy" format.
Example:
<%@ page import= "java.sql.*"%>
<%@ page import="java.text.SimpleDateFormat"%>
<%@ page import="java.util.Date"%>
<%
String d="10-9-08";
     SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MM-dd-yy");
          Date date = dateFormat.parse(d);
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
     Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:bspipdb");
     Statement st = con.createStatement();
ResultSet rs=st.executeQuery("Select * from datacollectdb where date='"+date+"'");
%>
I am getting "java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Data type mismatch in criteria expression.
" error.

In table , I am using field called "date" with "MM-dd-yy" format.I think a column named "date" is a very bad idea. Not just because "date" is a keyword. It's not very self-describing. How about "birth_date" or "hire_date" or "went_on_my_first_date"?
Example:Scriptlets? There's your second mistake.
<%@ page import= "java.sql.*"%>
<%@ page import="java.text.SimpleDateFormat"%>
<%@ page import="java.util.Date"%>
<%
String d="10-9-08";The way you're doing things, "2-40-99" is a valid date. Is that what you want?
     SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MM-dd-yy");
          Date date = dateFormat.parse(d);
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
     Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:bspipdb");Wrong again. Better to use a PreparedStatement and bind that Date.
     Statement st = con.createStatement();
ResultSet rs=st.executeQuery("Select * from datacollectdb where date='"+date+"'");

Your JSP should not be getting a database connection. Pool it.
Your code is wrong on every level. You don't close resources, you don't separate you app into layers, your database code is not in a POJO. I'd recommend that you throw this away and start again.

How do I convert .pdf into searchable OCR using Adobe Acrobat Capture 3.0?

How do I convert .pdf into searchable OCR using Adobe Acrobat
Capture 3.0?
Our division is digitizing it's files, and we've been using
Adobe Acrobat 5.0 (2). We've 'scanned-in' several hundred
documents, but they have been saved as .pdf files (which are
currently not 'searchable', as they are only scanned images).
We just received the Adobe Acrobat Capture 3.0 program, and
we were told that we would be able to scan-in any new documents and
save them both as .pdf and OCR documents (Optical Character
Recognition). Therefore, we were told, we would be able to search
through the body of the document, using OCR, and not just through
the document filename, as we had been doing before.
HOWEVER, we don't know how to use this new OCRing program.
Also, we don't know how to convert the .pdf documents which we've
already scanned into OCR recognizable documents.
Is someone able to assist us here in this forum?
