How to get the number of minutes or hours from date arithmetic ?

Thanks in advance,
I have two date fields that I would like to derive the number of minutes or hours via the following:
select start_date - end_date from dual;
How do I get HH:MM results ? Thanks

If greater than 24 hours you'll need to calculate the hours and minutes as numbers individually. (You can then display them in whatever format you choose)

  • How to get the number of issued active certifcates from a CA

    Hi,
    We have a PKI infrastructure still running on Windows Server 2003. How can I get the number of active certificates issued?  I have used the filter option on the issued certifcates node listing the certificates with expiry date after the current
    date, but this list only all the certs without the actual total number of certs.
    Any help is appreciated
    Thanks

    It will dump CA database look for issued distinguished name (name in the subject of the certificate) and outputs only certificates expiring after 22.1.2013. The output is piped to findstr command that filters the total number of rows.
    There are a couple of problems with the above:
    1. Not every certificate will have a Subject name.
    2. This won't filter out certificates that have been revoked but are still
    time valid.
    3. I couldn't get the "findstr Rows" to return anything and when I look at
    the help for findstr I don't see that as an option for the command.
    This command worked for me, make sure you enter it all on a single line:
    certutil -view -restrict "Disposition=20,NotBefore<January 22 2013" -out
    SerialNumber | findstr /C:"Serial Number:" | findstr /r /n "^" | find /c :"
    Also, if you copy and paste from this post into the cmd window, be careful
    that the quotes and dashes don't get converted into the wrong type.

  • How to get the number of days between 2 given dates

    Hi all,
    How can I find the number of days between any 2 given dates.
    Thanks

    Hi
    Here's a dirty way:
    If you've got two Date objects in Java, call getTime() on each one (which gives you a value in milliseconds), then subtract the two millisecond values, and divide the result by the number of milliseconds in a day (24 * 60 * 60 * 1000). There's more `elegant' ways to do this, but this method only requires one line of Java.
    Best wishes

  • How to get the number of columns in a result set???

    hi everyone..
    i am trying to establish a servlet applet communication....
    my applet send the sql query to the servlet as serialised string and then the servlet executes the query...
    Since i need to pass the result back to the applet, i thaught of passing the whole reult set to the applet..but that seems to be not possible..
    so i thaught of storing my result set data in a vector and then pass the vector,but the first problem that i came across is that how to get the number of colums in a result set....
    so is there a way to get the number of columns in a result set...???
    and also i would like to know if it possible to send my whole result set to the applet bye serialization or by any method...???
    thanx in advance

    You shouldn't do. It expenses resources (you should always close the ResultSet and the Statement as fast as possible). Simply gently process it into a Collection or Map of DTO's. Those are serializable.

  • How to get the number of files currently open?

    hi,
    does any one know how to get the number of files currently open in windows OS?
    e.g. lets say .txt files...
    any comment will be really appreciated.
    thanks

    Assuming that you don't want to actually do this from within Java code (which would obviously require native code), here's a utility that will give you a list of which file handles are opened by which processes (on Windows):

  • How to get the number of elements in DB

    Could you tell me how to get the number of elements in DB??
    My code to get the number is below, but I think it is not efficient
    DB->cursor(DB, NULL, &cursorp, 0);
    while ((ret = cursorp->c_get(cursorp, &key, &data, DB_NEXT)) == 0)
    count++;
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Hi,
    The most efficient way to get a count from the database is using the DB->stat API (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17076_02/html/api_reference/C/dbstat.html)
    The code will be something like:
            DB *dbp;
            DB_BTREE_STAT *statp;
            int ret;
            /* Print out the number of records in the database. */
            if ((ret = dbp->stat(dbp, NULL, &statp, 0)) != 0) {
                    dbp->err(dbp, ret, "DB->stat");
                    goto err1;
            printf("%s: database contains %lu records\n",
                progname, (u_long)statp->bt_ndata);
            free(statp);The code comes from the example included in the distribution at examples/c/ex_btrec.c
    If the database isn't a btree, you should update to the appropriate statistics structure and field.
    It's worth noting that retrieving the count is never a "cheap" operation. The count is not stored in the database - since doing so introduced a single point of contention that creates a bottle neck.

  • How to get the number of messages consumed by a MDB ??

    Hi all,
    How to get the number of messages consumed by a MDB displayed in OEM in a Java Application ???
    DMS ??? what use DMS ???
    tanks

    ok.
    Well using DMS is one way to get at these sorts of stats in a programmatic manner.
    There's a Java API you can use, or you could call out to the Spy servlet to query the DMS stats in either text or XML form.
    I don't have an MDB published so I can't show you specifiically, but here's the sort of query you can use to extract the data.
    http://localhost:8888/dms0/Spy?format=raw&table=oc4j_ejb_stateless_bean&recurse=children
    Which produces a table of the TEXT form:
    <DMSDUMP version='9.0.4' timestamp='1163456821185 (Tue Nov 14 08:57:01 CST 2006)' id='8888' name='OC4J'>

    ready.value:     0     count
    session-type.value:     Stateless     
    transaction-type.value:     Bean     
    </statistics>
    </DMSDUMP>
    Or produces an XML document of the form:
    http://localhost:8888/dms0/Spy?format=xml&table=oc4j_ejb_stateless_bean&recurse=children
    You can use the Spy console to find the table that contains the details for MDB and then take it from there.
    This is not what you specifically want to do, but it does provide a good overview of how DMS is used.

  • How to get the number of bytes at TCP port

    Hi all,
    How to get the number of bytes to read at the TCp port...as someone had suggested in some forum we do read the number of bytes first and then pass this...
    but we get a problem when we have FF data in this...because then it sends 2 FF data...and cause of this we skip the last data...is there any solution for the same?

    Hi
    In LabVIEW you don't have the same property as in serail port.
    You havn't "Byte at TCPIP port".
    if you developp a protocol, one soltion, is to send the size to read.

    I'm a little confused by the question, but it sounds like you're asking how to count the number of files with a particular extension in a given directory? That's not really an AI SDK question, but it's a fairly easy one to find if you google it. If you're trying to use Illustrator to do it, AI doesn't have a general purpose file API. It has a few functions to do some things that Illustrator needs, but I don't think enumerating directories is one of them.
