I need to trim out the second word of a string

If the string is as follows I need to always return the second word:
This is an example. (I need to return 'is')
Another example string. (I need to return 'example')

You can also use owa_pattern for pattern matching.

I have an email account through yahoo. I am having trouble setting it upon my iPhone and can't receive or send emails!!!! I contacted Rogers and they said I need to find out the host name of the incoming server, in other words yahoos host name. Help!!

Yahoo's servers are notoriously unreliable. Use the "Yahoo" account type when setting it up. If it doesn't work, and you are positive the credentials are correct, wait a while and try again.
While you're waiting, set up a free gmail or iCloud email account.

How do i open a secured document,need to prin out the contents?

How do I open a secured document? I need to print out the contents.

Mail the Word document, and when you click the attachment in IOS 8 Mail, the Word document will open in Pages v2.4.2 (required for IOS 8). If password protected, you will receive a password challenge when you attempt to open the document.

Sometimes my computer takes too long to connect to new website. I am running a pretty powerful work program at same time, what is the best solution? Upgrading speed from cable network, is it a hard drive issue? do I need to "clean out" the computer?

Many times my computer takes too long to connect to new website. I have wireless internet (time capsule) and I am running a pretty powerful real time financial work program at same time, what is the best solution? Upgrading speed from cable network? is it a hard drive issue? do I only need to "clean out" the computer? Or all of the above...not to computer saavy. It is a Macbook Pro osx 10.6.8 (late 2010).

Almost certainly none of the above! Try each of the following in this order:
Select 'Reset Safari' from the Safari menu.
Close down Safari; move <home>/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db to the trash; restart Safari.
Change the DNS servers in your network settings to use the OpenDNS servers: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220
Turn off DNS pre-fetching by entering the following command in Terminal and restarting Safari:
defaults write com.apple.safari WebKitDNSPrefetchingEnabled -boolean false

HT5538 I bought my iPad at the pawnshop and I need to sign out the old Apple ID can you please help me what else can I do

I bought my I pad at the pawnshop and I need to sign out the previous Apple ID could you please help me with this

If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must contact the previous owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the previous owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

I am moving from Southern California to Maui, Hawaii and I need to figure out the best way to get my 24 inch iMac across the ocean. Does anyone know the best way to do this?

I am moving from Southern California to Maui, Hawaii and I need to figure out the best way to get my 24 inch iMac across the ocean. Does anyone know the best way to do this? I have found GearGrip's LCD harness so that I can do carry-on onto the plane... Or maybe use a Pelican Case to do it as a "checked bag"? Or any other suggestions??! Please help!
Thanks so much!!

I don't recommend you send the iMac in a checked bag. Might get damaged.
Check the airlines website for carry on guidelines.
Or, if you have the original box that the iMac came in, if you have someone who can pick up the iMac for you, send it ahead Fed Ex and insure the package.
Just make sure the display is covered to protect it. A blanket perhaps.

By
SivaWhy do you need to Tune? What do you need to tune?
What is the execution time of the query? What is the explain plan?
Moreover, in an International forum, refrain from using Locals. 10 Lakhs = 1 Million.
Do provide the above details to determine if your query needs tuning?
Below is a correct version of Top N query. Untested for your example. Please do modify according to your needs.
SELECT ROWNUM,
SAL,
EMPNO,
ENAME,
DEPTNO
FROM
(SELECT ENAME,EMPNO, DEPTNO,SAL, dense_rank() over(order by sal desc nulls last) dr
FROM EMP ORDER BY SAL DESC

Need to find out the queries which did not executed in 2014

Hi All,
I need to find out the queries which start from YY and did not executed in 2014, earlier we used to find out by looking into the technical content cube 0TCT_C02 but now its giving dump as number of queries increases. I tried to find out using table RSZCOMPDIR but not able to trace it exactly. Please suggest some alternative solution to find out the queries which did not execute in 2014 so that we can delete it.
Thanks,
Asim.

Hi,
RSDDSTAT_OLAP : This is the table which contains query execution details
CALDAY field in that table gives you query execution date
OBJNAM gives the query name
As you said RSZCOMPDIR gives list of all queries. doing a lookup between these tables will identify the queris which are not executed in particular period.

Need to find out the number of Master data records transfered to the BW

Hi,
We need to find out the number of Master data (example -0MAT_PLANT_ATTR) records to be transfered to BW side. This is a delta extract. We are preparing test scripts to check the master data extract ( full & delta) from ECC6 TO BI 7.0..
Advance Thanks.

Hi,
Goto RSA3 and run that master data extractor in D mode if you want to know the number of records in delta and in F mode if you want to know the Full volume. But make sure that you set data records/calls and the display extr calls numbers so that you get the total number of records.
The other option is goto the master data source table and look at the number of records in that table. That'll give you an idea of the total number of records in the table.
One other option is to goto RSA7 , select the delta datasource and hit the display button. You'll get to know the number of entries in the delta queue that way as well.
Cheers,
Kedar
