Insert Date and Time doesn't update

i am inserting a date and time in my numbers documents so that i know which paper copy is the most current. i do this by going to Insert pulldown and selecting Data and Time while in a Footer Cell.
this data does not update upon re-opening the file and i end up printing multiple copies over weeks and months with simply the date that I inserted the Date and Time into the footer.
is there a way to do this so that it updates?
TIA

As most of the times,
this kind of question is answered in Numbers User Guide.
When you insert a date_time value in a cell, you insert a fixed value.
If you want a living one, you must insert a formula.
=NOW()
or
=TODAY()
would achieve your goal.

Find record insert date and time in a table

Hi All,
I want to get record insert date and time in a table. There is no datetime column in my table. Are there any possibility to get date and time for each record?
Thank You

Thats not easy. If your transaction info still resides on active portion of the log you can use fn_dblog to read out the time at which the transactions occurs. This is useful only if you try it shortly after transaction.
the code would look like this
SELECT *
FROM fn_dblog(null,null)
WHERE [Transaction Name] LIKE 'INSERT%'
OR [Transaction Name] LIKE 'UPDATE%'

Insert date and time

This is a simple question but one that has been bugging me in a small way. If on a spreadsheet I press 'insert date and time' all I get is that day and date for example saturday 10th July 2010 and no time.
Anyone offer an explanation for this?
Thanks
Mike

Hello Peggy
The problem was already reported to Bugs Hunters :
+Bug ID# 7862838.+
+In Numbers and Pages there is the function+
+Insert > Date Time.+
+At this time, its default behaviour is : insert the current date and the time 12:00:00 (without displaying the time).+
+Given my own experience and what is often asked in Discussions forums, it would be interesting to change the default setting so that it inserts the current date & time and display both of them.+
+Of course some users wish the availability of three items:+
+Insert > Date defaulting to the sole date component+
+Insert > Time defaulting to the sole time component+
+Insert > Date & Time defaulting to the complete current dateTime.+
+I preferred the scheme defaulting with the complete current dateTime because removing one component is faster than adding one using the existing protocol.+

Help please on inserting date and time on iWeb

I am using iWeb '09 (which I love) to manage the website for our HomeOwners Assocation.
http://www.seabridgehh.com/seabridgehh.com/Home.html
I have downloaded a script to insert the current date and time - which works, but............
has anyone got a clue on how to re-format the font and colour please?

Julian:
This demo page has examples of date and time added to a page. The text versions are not self updating. The embedded flash version is. There may be a way to have the text version update every second or minute depending on what you have displayed but I've not found it in my searches to date:

Unable to insert date and time when using date datatype

Hi
I am hitting a bit of a problem when using the date datatype. When trying to save a row to the table where the field it throws an error ora 01830 and complains about converting the date format picture ends...etc. Now when I do the insert, I use the to_date function with the format of "dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss". Of course, when I remove the time element, everything is perfect.
Checking sysdate, I noticed that the time element wasn't be displayed, and I used alter session set nls_date_format to set the date and time I want to save to the table, which worked!
Then based on advice in a previous thread to permanently fix the problem, I used alter system set nls_date_format ="dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss" scope=spfile; This showed that it was altered, and I can see the setting in the em. In sqlplus, I shutdown the database, and restarted with startup mount; alter database open; and then selecting sysdate, it still shows the date as dd-mon-yy, and still no time! Checking the em, and looking up the nls_date_format the setting is still shown as "dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss".
So, my question is this - what am I doing wrong? Why can't save date and time using date in Oracle 11g?????
Thanks

ThanksYou most certainly can save the time. A DATE column, by definition stores date and time. What you describe is a presentation problem, and setting nls_date_format at the system as an init parm is the weakest of all settings as it is overridden by several other locations.
without seeing the exact sql that produced the error (not just your description of what you think you were doing) it is impossible to say for sure.
However, I'd suggest you read http://edstevensdba.wordpress.com/2011/04/07/nls_date_format/

Insert date and time into write to spreadsheet

Easy question here
I need save 4 arrays of data and insert the date and time that it was taken (LV 8.6)
for example
9/4/09 10:00:01 AM 4 6 7 2
9/4/09 10:00:02 AM 4 6 7 2
9/4/09 10:00:03 AM 4 6 7 2
9/4/09 10:00:04 AM 4 6 7 2
Any ideas, I can't wire the timestamp or date/time string right into the create array
Thanks
Chris
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ok
the basic problem that I see is the the LabVIEW TimeStamp type is a cluster. Converting it to a dbl gives you a value in seconds elapsed since 1904 Jan 1 12:00AM GMT and, your spreadsheet cannot interprate that (or display that) as a "TIME." So, you want to convert it to a string (easy TS->String check the help for format options) BUT, you might want to pass all of your data as numbers into your spreadsheet so you can post-calculate or graph other outputs vs. TIME! This little chunk of code .....
converts a LV Timestamp to a number that Excel interperates as "the amount of days elapsed since 0 Jan 1900 @ 12:00AM LOCAL." You will need to format the cell in Excel to display it as a date-time But it can be operated on and graphed against with only Excel's limitations (Excel followed the Lotus bug of erroneously assuming 1900 was a leap year, and Leap seconds are unrecognized)
Enjoy!

Inserting Date AND Time using DBMS_XMLStore.insertXML

Hello,
I'm using a c# app to create an xml file to be passed to a stored procedure. The store procedure then uses DBMS_XMLStore.insertXML to insert the record in the xml file into the database.
There is a field in the Oracle table called "ENTER_DATE". I've been putting a date into the xml file for this field (ie. "10-mar-2010") and this has worked fine. However, I've now been asked to include the time with the date.
Is it possible to somehow put a date AND time value in the xml tag value so that DBMS_XMLStore.insertXML will properly insert it into the Oracle table? Everything I try returns a date picture format error.
Thanks

How do I insert date and time in my DB?

Hi!
I 'm trying to make an application that the user enters some information (name, address...) and I also have a field where the user must enter date and time. But I don't know how to insert it to the database (MS Access). How can I convert a string into a date or time object in order to insert it to the db?
I am new in programming with databases.
Thanks in advance.

Look at the following...
java.sql.PreparedStatement (particularly the setDate, setTimestamp etc methods)
and look at
java.text.SimpleDateFormat

How do I remove these? Do I just delete the folders using Finder? I'm new to Mac OS X.
I'm seeing a number of posts about network printing problems after upgrading to Mountain Lion. I'm guessing the problem is something other than the drivers themselves.
I sure appreciate your willingness to help me out with this!
Yes, just delete the folders.
There could be other problems, not driver-related, but updating to the most recent drivers will at least eliminate that possibility.
Happy to try to help.

Inserting Date and Time into a date field

Okay I am a bit of a Oracle newbie. I am trying to insert the following date and time into a date field and I don't know how to format the second part of the to_Date() function.
Date/Time: 5/29/2003 7:58:45 PM
Thanks,
Branden

I believe you would want
to_date( '5/29/2003 7:58:45 PM', 'MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS AM' )
Note that tahiti.oracle.com has all of Oracle's documentation, including the very useful SQL & PL/SQL reference manuals, available for free.

Hey Kanwal,
You can try the following statement

Inserting Date and Time Issues

Hi All,
I have a very simple select query as follows... UPLOAD_DATE is held in table1 in the following format:     23/01/2012 13:04:36
<cfquery name="test" datasource="test">
SELECT UPLOAD_DATE
FROM     TABLE1
</cfquery>
and I loop around the above query to insert into another table...
<cfloop query="test">
     <cfquery name="make_tfer2" datasource="test">
          INSERT INTO TABLE2
               (UPLOAD_DATE)
          VALUES
               (#test.UPLOAD_DATE#)
     </cfloop>
</cfloop>
But, when I insert into table2 it inserts the date as: 23/01/2012 .... How do I correct this code so I can insert the date as:   23/01/2012 13:04:36 ????

Two suggestions (just to answer the immediate question):
1) Make sure the datatype of the column Upload_date in Table2 is datetime (not just date).
2) Try something like
<cfoutput query="test">
    <cfset date=dateFormat(parseDatetime(upload_date),"dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss")>
    <cfquery name="make_tfer2" datasource="test">
        INSERT INTO TABLE2 (UPLOAD_DATE)
        VALUES #date#
    </cfquery>
</cfoutput>

Default Email app not working after update on 5/3 on S4. It checks mail but never downloads anything. Last updated screen stuck on date and time just before update

After the last update, the default email app is not working as expected. It can send email but when it checks email, it never downloads any new messages. The last updated display at the top of the screen shows that the last successful update was on 5/3 just before the update took place. I will probably just download an email app and can this one but thought I would ask in case there is an easy fix.

On my S4, a little message "Master sync turned off" blinks at the bottom of the email app when I tried to manually sync.
On another thread, I discovered that you have to go into the settings toggle screen (swipe down from the top, hit the little four-square icon in the upper-right) and find "Sync". That has to be turned back on. For whatever reason, it was off on my phone after NC5 installed, and the email program needs it to be on. Was it always there? I don't know.
There is a separate sync setting that you can change inside the email app for each account... but they all cease functioning if the "Sync" is off. So make sure the main "Sync" is on, and maybe that will restore your email function. Good luck!

Set Date and Time Automatically...doesn't

We've noticed that the setting to automatically synchronize date and time to Apple's time server doesn't work if the system preference is 'locked'
In other words, if the user that's logged in currently, isn't an admin user, then the machine doesn't set the date and time automatically.
As soon as you unlock the system preference by clicking the padlock at the bottom, the date and time sync as they should.
Anyone else noticed this?

We do want the clock correct. The issue here is that the internal clocks drift - as I understand it, this is the one of the main reasons behind using a network time server.
With the Date and time preferences set to 'Set date and time automatically', the but with the lock at the bottom corner locked- it's as though being locked is preventing the automatic date and time settings from updating.
But the preference is checked on, and so the clock should be 'resetting' itself as necessary.
To give an example- say the machine has been off for a while, and unplugged. This will cause the machine not to know what the Date and Time is. When the machine starts up, the preference should kick in, and the machine should 'Update date and time' automatically.
But it doesn't. So long as that padlock is locked, even though the preference is checked on, the machine will not alter the date and time - until the padlock is unlocked.
