How to order by the latest of two dates ?
Hi
I try to get result from a table with the highest of two dates. First date is a created_on date, second date is "updated_on". I would like to display the lines ordered by the whatever latest date between these two.
I tried this request without result.
SELECT
name "Nom",
updated_on, created_on,
greatest (updated_on, created_on) latest
FROM doclib_documents
order by latest descYou'll find below a sample data of the table.

In mail how do I get the latest emails to appear at the top of the column automatically. At the moment I have to scroll up from the bottom oldest entires to find my latest mail arrivals
What device are you using?
I assume you are talking about something other than the iPad?
Is there a sort order above the date column? Clicking on this can switch between Ascending and Descending order. -
When migrating from time machine to my new hard drive, it migrates the first back-up I made several years ago. How can I migrate the latest back-up ? I need time machine to migrate the latest back-up. Should I delete the older back-ups ?
As noondaywitch says, it should use the latest backup.
Where are your backups (external HD, Time Capsule, etc.)?
It sounds like there are two separate sets, and you're not connected to the right set. -
From two given tables, how do you fetch the values from two columns using values from one column(get values from col.A if col.A is not null and get values from col.B if col.A is null)?
Hi,
Use NVL or COALESCE:
NVL (col_a, col_b)
Returns col_a if col_a is not NULL; otherwise, it returns col_b.
Col_a and col_b must have similar (if not identical) datatypes; for example, if col_a is a DATE, then col_b can be another DATE or it can be a TIMESTAMP, but it can't be a VARCHAR2.
For more about NVL and COALESCE, see the SQL Language manual: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e26088/functions119.htm#sthref1310
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all tables involved, and also post the results you want from that data.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using (e.g., 11.2.0.2.0).

How can I download the latest Microsoft Office for my Macbook Air through the App Store?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Microsoft Office is not available in the App Store. Instead, you can purchase it in the Microsoft site > http://www.microsoft.com/mac
Note that there are other apps that do the same, like Apple iWork (available in the Mac App Store) or LibreOffice, open-source and free. I recommend you to give LibreOffice a try.
If you are interested in Office for Windows, you can find it in the Microsoft Store or at shops -
I can't open the RAW files from my new Nikon D4s camera in photoshop? How do I download the latest software for RAW files? Cheers!
What version of Photoshop are you running? You will need at CS5, CS6, CC or CC2014. Each version needs a different ACR-plug-in to open files from that camera.
If you are on CS4 or earlier, you'll need to upgrade—or, in the alternative; look for, download, instal, launch and run the free, stand-alone DNG Converter 8.6 on each file of raw NEF files to convert them to raw DNGs first so you can open them in your version of Photoshop and ACR plug-in higher than 2.4. -

How can I download the latest version of Safari? Exact instructions.
How do I download the latest version of Safari? I keep getting a message that my current version is no longer supported. Isn't there something I can just click on? I can't see how to actually download it (gen x, not as smart as I once was ), but please help me anyway.
You may have to settle for as recent of version of Firefox, as your OS X 10.6.8 will allow.
Even an older archived Firefox would be more recent than Safari from that era.
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
see:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-download-and-install-firefox-mac
The method to get a later version of Safari, would be to see if the computer can be upgraded
to a later fully new OS X which includes a period-correct Safari version. That's about it.
And an upgrade to a later OSX may compromise the kind of computing experience you'd
found acceptable with Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I'd consider a later computer, as a vehicle to
access later OS X versions, and keep the older computer (with backups) in Snow Leopard.
The online App Store may suggest a later OS X version than you have. The latest it may
(or not) support is Yosemite. That would likely require a RAM upgrade and perhaps a new
hard disk drive of faster rotational speed, or perhaps an upgrade to SSD, to add speed to
allow the bulkier newer OS X to work OK. Then you may need to get newer applications.
Other available OS X versions, not as new as Yosemite, would be available by purchase
in the Apple Store online. A code would be sent to your email, to unlock these downloads.
If you fall into the potential upgrade trap, be sure to create viable external clone or bootable
copy of your current system on external device; and have backup Time Machine archive, too.
In any event... there isn't a newer Safari for Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
Good luck & happy computing! -
How can i compare the contents of two folders ?
how can i compare the contents of two folders and find out which files are in one but not in the other?? Knowing how to do this would be the best thing ever, especially when dealing with a large number of files. Often, for instance, I'm dealing with a large number of images, processing them, and saving the retouched ones to a new folder, and need to check that they are all there. If there are say three files missing in the second folder (out of say a hundred in total) being able to automate the process of elimination would be very useful. Please help!!!
BI really wish I knew the answer to this. I work between two macs, a G5 and MacBook Pro when I'm on the go. Each time I move from one to the other I have to copy all my files to the computer I'm going to work on, so I end up with the same files being duplicated. It's not a problem if it's not much data but in my case the it can be to 30GB, mostly graphics files, photoshop, motion, final cut pro, etc.
There's has got to be a way automator can make a comparison between two folders to sort out what's changed and what's remained the same. It would be nice also if this feature could be done globally on the hard disk using spotlight's technology to stop files being duplicated in places you didn't even know about and taking up valuable disk space. I'm not sure how this could be done.
Any bright ideas Apple? -
