Inserting the date

When I insert the date into a document, Pages actually inserts the day and date, as in "Monday, November 24, 2008." I only want the date, as in "November 24, 2008." I have tried to change the formatting in the International section of System Preferences, but nothing changes. I have looked in various help areas, but have found nothing. Does anyone have a suggestion to change the default?
Thanks, Paul

Paul,
Sorry, I didn't catch in your original post that you already knew the standard method for setting the Date Format. I am not aware of any global default preference for this feature.
Here's a workaround that may help in some circumstances. If you have so many instances of the date in each document that it is burdensome to set the format on each, you could set the preferred format on the first instance and then after that use 'ddd' or some other unique code for the rest of the instances. Upon completion of the document you would then do a Find (ddd) and Replace All (Formatted Date). Dates entered this way can't be set to auto-update.

How to insert the data which is present in the variable into the table

Hi,
Let's consider that I have one table and I have stored the table column names in one variable and their values in another variable.
I want to insert the data that is present in the variables into the table.
I tried the following way :
Declare
V_columns    Varchar2(50) := 'Empno';
V_values       Number(10) := 101;
Begin
Insert Into Emp (V_columns) Values (V_values);
End;
The above procedure gives an error : PL?SQL : ORA-00904 : "V_COLUMNS": invalid identifier
Using the Execute Immediate, we can insert the data which is present in the variables into the table.
Is there any other way to insert the data which is present in the variable into the table..?
Can anyone please give me the solution..?
Thanks..

plz use this...
DECLARE
   v_columns   VARCHAR2 (50) := 'Empno';
   v_values    NUMBER (10)   := 101;
BEGIN
   EXECUTE IMMEDIATE    'Insert Into Emp ('
                     || v_columns
                     || ') Values ('
                     || v_values
                     || ')';
   COMMIT;
END;

What does this mean?
So I browse through forum & i got to know that i need to initial the UTL_FILE_DIR ="C:/OracleProject" in init.ora
So can i edit the init.ora with notepad.When i tried to do that it says permission denied
In my system it shows the init.ora file in path C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\config\scripts
but there is also other file initXETemp in the same path do i need to do the changes in it.
I have tried even editing the SPFILE as mentioned below:
C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\dbs\SPFILEEXE - I had edit this file using notepad & set the value of UTL_FILE_DIR ="C:/OracleProject". So next time when i restarted i'm unable to log on to the database.
So i had reinstall the software again.
Could you please let me know how to proceed..

Insert the data into two tables at a time.

Hi ,
i have these two tables
create table [dbo].[test1](
[test1_id] [int] identity(1,1) primary key,
[test2_id] [int] not null
create table [dbo].[test2](
[test2_id] [int] identity(1,1) primary key,
[test1_id] [int] not null
alter table [dbo].[test1]
add constraint [fk_test1_test2_id] foreign key([test2_id])
references [dbo].[test2] ([test2_id])
alter table [dbo].[test2] add constraint [fk_test2_test2_id] foreign key([test1_id])
references [dbo].[test1] ([test1_id])
I want to insert the data into two tables in one insert statement. How can i do this using T-SQL ?
Thanks in advance.

You can INSERT into both tables within one Transaction but not in one statement. By the way, you would need to alter your dbo.Test1 table to allow null for first INSERT test2_id column
See sample code below:
CREATE TABLE #test1(test1_ID INT IDENTITY(1,1),test2_id INT NULL)
CREATE TABLE #test2(test2_ID INT IDENTITY(1,1),test1_ID INT)
DECLARE @Test1dentity INT
DECLARE @Test2dentity INT
BEGIN TRAN
-- Insert NULL as test2_ID value is unknown
INSERT INTO #test1(test2_ID)
SELECT NULL;
-- get inserted identity value
SET @Test1dentity = SCOPE_IDENTITY();
INSERT INTO #test2(test1_ID)
SELECT @Test1dentity;
-- get inserted identity value
SET @Test2dentity = SCOPE_IDENTITY();
-- Update test1 table
UPDATE #test1
SET test2_ID = @Test2dentity
WHERE test1_ID = @Test1dentity;
COMMIT
SELECT * FROM #test1;
SELECT * FROM #test2;
-- Drop temp tables
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#test1') IS NOT NULL
BEGIN
DROP TABLE #test1
END
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#test2') IS NOT NULL
BEGIN
DROP TABLE #test2
END

Custom PL/SQL API that inserts the data into a custom interface table.

We are developing a custom Web ADI integrator for importing suppliers into Oracle.
The Web ADI interface is a custom PL/SQL API that inserts the data into a custom interface table. We have defined the content, uploader and an importer. The importer is again a custom PL/SQL API that will process the records inserted into the custom table and updates the STATUS column of the custom interface table. We want to show the status column back on the spreadsheet.
Defined the 'Document Row' import rule and added the rows that would identify the unique record.
Errored row import rule, we are using a SELECT * from custom_table where status<>'Success' and vendor_name=$param$.vendor_name
The source of this parameter is import.vendor_name
We have also defined an Error lookup.
After the above setup is completed, we invoke the create document and click on Oracle->Upload.
The records are getting imported, but the importer program is failing with An error has occurred while running an API import. The ERRORED_ROWS step 20003:ER_500141, parameter number 1 must contain the value BIND in attribute 1.'

The same issue.

Insert the data automatically in a table

Hi,
i want to insert the data in a table automatically if the time is 12:00AM
Is it possible?

hi,
i have the table "tab_eg" like
id name code
1 Rai 1
2 Hewlett 3
id is primary key.
code is auto generated.
(ie) if anybody is getting the code from tab_eg table,
the code is automatically incremented by 1 using update query.
It is working fine.
Then
i am creating the DBMS_SCHEDULER like this:
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_JOB (
job_name => 'UPDATE_TAB_CODE',
job_type => 'PLSQL_BLOCK',
job_action => 'begin execute '' update scott.tab_eg SET code = 1 '' ; commit; end;',
start_date=> '01/APR/2007 12:00:00 AM',
repeat_interval => 'FREQ=YEARLY',
enabled => TRUE);
END ;
it is also created successfully in SYS.
My doubt is
when i have changed the server time as '01/APR/2008 12:00:00 AM',
the code is not reset to 1.
i want to reset the code as 1.
what do i have to change in this DBMS_SCHEDULER.
Thanx in Advance

How to insert the data using SyncoBo Object

Hi ,
    please provide the code for inserting the data such tat my meRepMeta.xml
contains
              one Top Row
              4 Child Row
i done the coding for inserting top row

Hi Saravana,
    I am not sure about the query based on sync_key value but i am suggesting the code snippet that you can use to get the SyncBo by the SyncBoName and SyncKey.
public SyncBo getSyncBoInstance(String syncBoName, String syncKey) {
          SyncBoDescriptor sbd = descriptorFacade.getSyncBoDescriptor(syncBoName);
          try {
               SyncBo sb = dataFacade.getSyncBo(sbd, syncKey);
               return sb;
          } catch (PersistenceException pex) {
               System.out.println(pex.getMessage());
               return null;
          Based on the SyncBo value from the previous code snippet , you can obtain the rowCollection thru this method.
public RowCollection[] getRows()
                        throws PersistenceException
Ex:
sb.getRows()
Once you obtain the RowCollection for the particular syncBo,you can iterate thru rowCollection to get the row entities.
//To get the iterator of the Row entities in this RowCollection.
MeIterator it = rowList.iterator();
From each row entity you can get the field values by this method
public MeIterator getFieldValues()
I would suggest you to go through the API Doc which is clearly explained about all the methods which would be useful for you to do all sort of operation.

How to insert the data using matrix

Hi
All how to insert the data using matrix feild
plz help me
   thanks
    Loy

Hi Loy,
The best way to fill an entire matrix is to use a DBDatasource, here is some sample code:
Dim oForm As SAPbouiCOM.Form
oForm = SBO_App.Forms.Item("YourFormTypeID")
        '1. Add a DBDataSource to the form
        oForm.DataSources.DBDataSources.Add("OUSR")
        Dim oColumnDBS As SAPbouiCOM.Column
        Dim oColumnUDS As SAPbouiCOM.Column
        Dim i As Integer
        Dim GenEdt As SAPbouiCOM.EditText
        Dim oMatrix As SAPbouiCOM.Matrix
        Dim oColumns As SAPbouiCOM.Columns
        Dim oDBDataSource As SAPbouiCOM.DBDataSource
        oMatrix = oForm.Items.Item("7").Specific
        oColumns = oMatrix.Columns
        '2. DBDataSource: Binding a field / alias of the table to a column
        oColumnDBS = oColumns.Item("V_1")
        oColumnDBS.DataBind.SetBound(True, "OUSR", "U_NAME")
        '3. getting the data sources bound to the form
        oDBDataSource = oForm.DataSources.DBDataSources.Item("OUSR")
        oMatrix.Clear()
        ' Querying the DB Data source
        oDBDataSource.Query()
        ' Adding the data to the matrix
        oMatrix.LoadFromDataSource()
When you want to fill a specific field use :
GenEdt = oMatrix.Columns.Item("V_2").Cells.Item(1).Specific
                GenEdt.String = "Hello"

Create table emp_dup (empno number references emp(empno),ename varchar2(20) primary key);
alter table emp add constraint ename_fk foreign key(ename) references emp(ename);
My Question is How to insert the data into these two tables?
Its a *"Circular Reference"* Concept.
Please ...
Thank You!!

You need to set the DEFERRED clause of the constraint when you create your foreign key as DEFERRABLE by which you can move the constraint validation at transaction level.
In an interview point of view that could be a reasonable answer. But in real time this could be strongly questionable.
Here is an example
SQL> create table emp1 (empno number, ename varchar2(10))
2 /
Table created.
SQL> create table emp2 (empno number, ename varchar2(10))
2 /
Table created. Define Primary Key for two tables
SQL> alter table emp1 add constraint emp1_pk primary key (empno)
2 /
Table altered.
SQL> alter table emp2 add constraint emp2_pk primary key (ename)
2 /
Table altered. Add foreign key for two tables with DEFERRED clause set as DEFERRABLE
SQL> alter table emp1 add constraint emp1_fk foreign key (ename) references emp2(ename) initially deferred deferrable
2 /
Table altered.
SQL> alter table emp2 add constraint emp2_fk foreign key (empno) references emp1(empno) initially deferred deferrable
2 /
Table altered. Now here is the test case
SQL> insert into emp1 values (1, 'karthick')
2 /
1 row created.
SQL> commit
2 /
commit
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-02091: transaction rolled back
ORA-02291: integrity constraint (ARBORU.EMP1_FK) violated - parent key not found So the validation is done at Transaction level. Now let insert the value into both tables.
SQL> insert into emp1 values (1, 'karthick')
2 /
1 row created.
SQL> insert into emp2 values (1, 'karthick')
2 /
1 row created.
SQL> commit
2 /
Commit complete.
