Insert Date & Time question

Does anyone know if there is a way to DESELECT the "Automatically update the date and time when the document is opened" dialog?
Thanks.
Paul

The only way I can see is to create your own template with this unchecked. Then, when you open this template, auto date & time should be unchecked.
It would be nice if this were a global preference. I suggest you leave feedback for the Pages team.

Inserting Date & Time in picture

Hi,
I am new to Adobe, after strugling to get iMovie to produce a decent HD movie, I am delighted with Premiere Elements 9 so far. I am, however, asking for help and assistance in trying to insert the date & time (that the footage was shot) into text on the screen. iMovie had this function which was very useful for home movies, but I cannot find this option? Also, I have run a test video and have found a sound/video sync problem. I am not running anti-virus software as I have a MAC and the saved movie is being exported to an external HDD through firewire. Any help would be very much appreciated!
Thanks
John

John,
Welcome to the forum.
PrE does not have a direct way to do this, however, you can create a Title, and manually add the time/date as text.
There is a program, DVDate, that might prove to be helpful, though it's not a plug-in for PrE, so there is still some additonal work in the normal workflow.
Good luck,
Hunt

Inserting date & time in Word 2008 document

I'm trying to create simple AppleScript and I'm hoping someone on here can help me.
I work in Word 2008 for Mac and want to create a script that simply inserts the phrase "Left message(space)" plus the date and time whenever I run the script. I'd also prefer that the phrase be in italics if possible. I use this because I often call people and leave them a message and I like to keep a record of when I call them.
I found this script online and modified it hoping it would meet my needs:
tell application "Microsoft Word"
tell selection
type text text "Left message "
create new field text range text object of selection field text {"DATE \\@ \"MM/d/yyyy\""}
end tell
end tell
The result is that when I run the script, I get something like this in my document:
Left message 6/10/2010
It's a good start, but there are two problems with this.
First, I would like to insert both the date AND the time.
Second, when it inserts the date, it makes it an "update automatically" date that updates to the current time every time I open the document. This obviously doesn't help me keep a record of when I made a call. What I would like is for it to just insert the current date and time without updating automatically.
Third, if possible, I would also like it to be in italics.
It would look something like this:
+Left message 6/10/10 5:29 PM+
I appreciate any advice people can give.

Second, when it inserts the date, it makes it an "update automatically" date that updates to the current time every time I open the document
Sure, that's because you specifically tell it to. Your script inserts a 'new field' which is analogous to Word's dynamic text objects (date, time, page number, etc.)
Instead, what you want to do is insert an actual string of characters - sure, to you and I that string of characters might look like a date and time, but to Word it's nothing more than a series of characters.
For that we can fall back on AppleScript's date features, specifically current date, like:
tell application "Microsoft Word"
tell selection
type text text "Left message " & (current date as text)
end tell
end tell
Note that current date as text returns a rather verbose form of the date. If that's too much for you there are alternate options, such as:
short date string of (current date) & space & time string of (current date)
which will look more like: "6/10/10 3:26:50 PM"
But there is also a myriad of other ways (with seconds, without seconds, 12/24 hr, etc.) depending on what you want.
Third, if possible, I would also like it to be in italics.
I'll have to look at that one, unless someone else beats me to it.

Insert date time into oracle database from jsp

pls tell me ,from jsp how can I insert datetime values into oracle database .I am using oracle 9i .here is codethat i have tried
html--code
<select name="date">

<option>2007</option>
</select>
here the jsp code
<% date= request.getParameter("date"); %>
<% month= request.getParameter("month"); %>
<% year= request.getParameter("year"); %>
try
{ Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"); }
catch (ClassNotFoundException exception)
try
     Connection connection = null;
     out.println("connectiong the database");
connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@127.0.0.1:1521:orcsid","scott","tiger");
out.println("connection getted");
     int rows = 0;
     String query_2 = "insert into mrdetails values(?)";
     String dob = date+month+year;
     prepstat = connection.prepareStatement(query_2);
     prepstat.setTimestamp(4,dob);
     rows = prepstat.executeUpdate();
     out.println("data updated");
catch (Exception exception3)
out.println("Exception raised"+exception3.toString());
}

To insert date values into a database, you should use java.sql.Date. If it also has a time component, then java.sql.TimeStamp.
Your use of prepared statements is good.
You just need to convert the parameters into a date.
One way to do this is using java.text.SimpleDateFormat.
int rows = 0;
String query_2 = "insert into mrdetails values(?)";
String dob = date+"/" + month+ "/" + year;
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SImpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
java.util.Date javaDate = sdf.parse(dob);
java.sql.Date sqlDate = new java.sql.Date(javaDate .getTime);
prepstat = connection.prepareStatement(query_2);
prepstat.setTimestamp(4,sqlDate);
rows = prepstat.executeUpdate();
out.println("data updated");Cheers,

Inserting DATE/TIME

hi
I am using
INSERT INTO LIB_BOOK_ISSUE (ISSUE_DATE, AC_NO) SELECT ISSUE_DATE, AC_NO FROM LIB_BOOK_ISSUE5
to move data from LIB_BOOK_ISSUE5 to LIB_BOOK_ISSUE.
ISSUE_DATE has Date/Time valuse. When I use above INSERT statement then just Dates are inserted into LIB_BOOK_ISSUE. Plz write me the query so that both Date/Time values move.
Thanks

column ISSUE_DATE and AC_NO both play as primary key.
if i use
insert into LIB_BOOK_ISSUE select * from LIB_BOOK_ISSUE5;
then there is an error that unique value violated. thats why i think that if time value is not copying to LIB_BOOK_ISSUE5 then there may be unique key violation, elese there is no way that there is any key violation

How to insert date/time to sql database

Hi,
I would like to insert date and time alongside with my data receiving from the sensor.
Right now i can insert data into sql table everytime when the data changes but i also wanted to insert the date and time as well.
Thank you in advance!

I create a field that is a datetime and set the default value to getdate(). So everytime i make an entry into this database, it automatically adds a datestamp.

Date/Time Questions

Hi, I'm a new Java programmer.
I need to format a date/time variable from sql server into two string objects. One string object storing the date and the other storing the time.
I've tried using the Date class and DateFormat class, but I haven't found a way yet.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks a lot,
louis

You could try something like this:
Date dateAndTime = /* read date from sql server */;
DateFormat dateOnly = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
DateFormat timeOnly = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss");
String dateString = dateOnly.format(dateAndTime);
String timeString = timeOnly.format(dateAndTime);

Problem while inserting Date/Time in Oracle Database

Hai,
i want to insert the date and time in a date column. here, i am using java.sql.Date and java.sql.Time to assign the date in Prepared Statement.
PreparedStatement psmt=con.prepareStatement("insert into test(ex_date) values(?)");
java.util.Calendar c=Calendar.getInstance();
c.set(2002,2,21,10,10,00);
java.sql.Date d=new Date(c.getTime().getTime());
java.sql.Time t=new Time(c.getTime().getTime());
psmt.clearParameters();
psmt.setDate(1,d);
psmt.setDate(1,t);
psmt.executeUpdate();
Above program is inserted the Date and time in the database as the following "1900/2/21 10:10 AM"
but i am giving the year as 2002. it inserted the year as 1900. what is the problem with the code?
please let me know
Thanks in advance.
Regards
sankarjune14

Hai Franco,
i put the wrong code. Here, is the Original Code.
PreparedStatement psmt=con.prepareStatement("insert into test(ex_date) values(?)");
java.util.Calendar c=Calendar.getInstance();
c.set(2002,2,21,10,10,00);
java.sql.Date d=new Date(c.getTime().getTime());
java.sql.Time t=new Time(c.getTime().getTime());
psmt.clearParameters();
psmt.setDate(1,d);
psmt.setTime(1,t); // Last time i put psmt.setDate(1,t);
psmt.executeUpdate();
and, the getTimeInMillis() method is a protected method in java.util.Calendar class. how can we use it
please give me some other idea to insert the date and time in oracle database.
Thanks in advance

Another DATE/TIME question

HI all
I am trying to INSERT INTO TABLE a date and time into one line..
excerpt looks like
CREATE TABLE Test
(Submit DATE );
INSERT INTO Test
VALUES(to_date('2001-01-02 22:23:00','yyyy-mm-ss hh24:mi:ss'));
I get an error message that says it's missing a comma (and I can't figure out WHERE). I have tried quotes in different places etc...Is it not possible to put a date and a time in the same slot?
Thanks in advance

Try this...
SQL> create table mytest (submitted date);
Table created.
SQL> desc mytest
Name Null? Type
SUBMITTED DATE
SQL> insert into mytest
2 (SUBMITTED)
3 values
4 (to_date('2001-01-02 22:23:00','yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss'));
1 row created.
SQL> select * from mytest;
SUBMITTED

Font problem after inserting date/time.

Can anyone help me with this problem? I write a daily journal in Times New Roman, 18 pt. However, when I have it insert the date and time it inserts it fine as TNR 18. But if I type the very next character it is TNR 10 pt. How do I prevent this?
Thanks.
Paul

Paul, did you by chance change the Body text Paragraph Style to TNR 18? Or is it still set to 10?
If it is set to 10 then while the Date and Time are going to be 18, Pages is reverting back to the normal Body paragraph Style, which is probably 10.
You can get around this by changing your body style, or making a new one called "Entries" which is set to 18.

Date + Time question updating to a DATE field..

Hi,
I'm going crazy...
MEETING_DATE is a DATE column in the DB
:P40_MEETING_DATE is a TEXT FIELD with source MEETING_DATE
:P40_MEETING_DATE:=to_char(to_date('02-OCT-2006 09:14:45 PM','DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI:SS PM'),'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS');
Ultimately I need to have :P40_MEETING_DATE a date picker and then
add a character string of a time to it.
:P40_MEETING_DATE:=to_date(to_char(:P40_MEETING_DATE,'date picker format?')||' '||:P40_START_TIME,'date picker format?');
I get all kinds of errors ORA-01858 errors.. non- numeric errors.. invalid month errors..
Bill

You are right, sorry about that.
I thought about sneaking a On Submit - After Computations and Validations process in there before the Process Row process like this:
:P216_X := TO_DATE( TRUNC( TO_DATE( :P216_X, 'DD-MON-YY HH24:MI' ) ) || ' ' || :P216_TIME, 'DD-MON-YY HH24:MI' );but that's probably the same thing you tried before.
I would just turn it into a procedure and pass the parameters...;)
I hope someone can get your going in the right direction.

Simple Date/Time Question

ok so I can print out the date and time when i run the program.
How would I write a method that updated the clock every second, kinda like a digital watch. would I just use a while loop? or does java have an actual running clock?
Here is the code I have so far:
import java.util.Date;
public class DateTime
     Date now = new Date();
     public DateTime()
          System.out.println(now);
      public static void main(String[] args)
           DateTime run = new DateTime();
}

import java.util.Date;
public class DateTime
     Date now = new Date();
     public DateTime()
     {while(true){
          System.out.println(now);now = new Date();
Thread.sleep(1000);
     public static void main(String[] args)
          DateTime run = new DateTime();
I modified your code a bit better do this in a different thread though if you plan to use a GUI

Newbie: Date time question

I want to store a date and time into the same column. But I do not know the syntax to do it and to select it.
Can anyone help me?

Oracle should store this anyway - all you need to do to see this is to set the nls_date_format for the session you are using to 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'

Date/Time Question - Milliseconds

How can I get the number of milliseconds after the 1970... from a date?
Is there such a method in the API? I looked at the DateFormat and NumberFormat classes but I didn't find it... Is there a way a to do this?
I want to be able to give a date and get back the number of milliseconds past the 1970 thing...
Thanx

DrClap has a good solution. Here is another twist:
// Do this
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
Date start = formatter.parse("01/01/1970");
// Or do this
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
Calendar.set(1970, Calendar.JANUARY, 1);
Date start = calendar.getTime();
return (new Date().getTime() - start.getTime());- Saish
