Is there a way for Oracle to ignore passwords?
Hello..
Just curious if there is any way to set Oracle to do the following..
I want to connect as a certain user (connect user/password@database)
I want Oracle to let me connect as long as the user name passed corresponds to a user in Oracle with connect privs, no matter if I pass the correct or incorrect password?
I know that sounds like a strange thing to want to do.. But has anyone found a way to do that?
Thanks,
BP
Read the documentation on 'external' passwords (which makes Oracle use OS authentication rather than it's internal authentication). Perhaps that solves your problem...

Is there a way in Oracle to return multiple rows as a single string?
Hi gurus,
I just got help from your guys fixing my dynamic sql problem. What I am doing in that function is to return a single string from multiple rows and I use it in the select statement. It works fine once the problem was solved. But is there any way in Oracle to do this in the select statement only? I have a table that stores incidents (incident_id is the PK) and another table that stores the people that are involved in an incident.
Incident_table
(incident_id number PK);
Incident_people_table
(incident_id number PK/FK,
person_id number PK);
Now in a report, I need to return the multiple rows of the Incident_People_table as a single string separated by a comma, for example, 'Ben, John, Mark'. I asked the SQL Server DBA about this and he told me he can do that in SQL Server by using a variable in the sql statement and SQL Server will auomatically iterate the rows and concatenate the result (I have not seen his actual work). Is there a similar way in Oracle? I have seen some examples here for some similar requests using the sys_connect_by_path, but I wonder if it is feasible in a report sql that is already rather complex. Or should I just stick to my simpler funcion?
Thanks.
BenHi,
May be, this example will help you.

Table created.
SQL> SELECT * FROM Incident_Table;

Is there a way for preventing the placeholder from appearing if there is not content for it?
I am creating a structure with tags and place holders. However, not all my entries have all the same information. For example, my first entry has a 3 line address (123 West Street, Suit 23, Lincoln NE 68521) but my second entry only has 2 line address (456 North Street, Lincoln NE 68521). When imported into my structure, the second address reads 456 North Street, <address2>, Lincoln NE 68521. My question for you is, is there a way for preventing the placeholder from appearing if there is not content for it?
IJWAA,
A work-around if you don't already use XSLT (to avoid having to) is to not have placeholder text, just use empty tags in your text layout that correspond to your incoming XML structure (any unused by the incoming structure IN ORDER, will be skipped). So long as you don't mind the blank line (rather than left over placeholder copy).
If you had placeholder copy in your text box (<address2> for example) look at it using the story editor window (edit > edit in story editor, or command-y/control-y) so you can see the surrounding tags... style the surrounding tags by selecting them with the cursor and applying character or paragraph styles (with text in between the tags at the time) and then delete only the placeholder text from the middle of the sandwich, leaving the tags in tact. Trying to do this without being in the story editor will not work.
Also, when importing the XML, I believe you'll still need to use "merge content" and "don't import empty white space" as you have been in order to replace placeholder text in any areas you had it.
For situations when you have a mixture of dynamic and static text in the same text block and you are merging data (more so when the placeholder text has been deleted as I've suggested above but the dynamic tags for the possible incoming text are still there), you can use a tag you've created (I call mine "staticText") in your layout to wrap ANY bits of text you don't want to accidentally delete when the surrounding tags get populated or not, using the merge option upon importing your XML. Just be sure never to use "staticText" as an actual tag in your structure or surrounding incoming data. The text contained within staticText tags in your layout will be ignored by incoming data, and won't accidentally get deleted when it's sandwiched between two sets of tags that are dynamically populated when merge content is the import option.
In my example below I'm using brackets/carats with the tag name instead of the color coded tag icon you see in the story editor, also I've used LB here to indicate a regular line break in Indesign and SP a regular space character in indesign:
[staticText>Name:<staticText][firstName>Abc<firstName][staticText>SP<staticText][lastName>Xyz<firstName][staticText>LB<staticText]
[staticText>Address:<staticText][address1><address1][staticText>LB<staticText]
[address2><address2][staticText>LB<staticText]
all other tags on following lines...
This should just leave a blank line for address2 when no data comes in for it. I'm assuming you have line breaks, if not, all the better. -
Is there any way for a basemap to be manipulated from the client side?
Hello,
Essentially, we have a basemap (+basemap A+) that contains boundary geography (i.e., county, tract, block boundaries) and we have a theme (+theme A+) that contains housing unit points.
The idea is that theme A will be a layer that the user will be able to switch on/off. We know how to do this, but the problem comes in where performance is concerned.
Previously, theme A was actually included in basemap A, and performance was not an issue, but the problem then was that the user was not able to turn that layer on/off.
Also I have done everything I know in terms of caching as well as using the mapviewer API
(e.g.,
test_theme.setClickable(false);
test_theme.enableInfoWindow(false);
test_theme.enableInfoTip(false);
test_theme.enableLabels(false);
test_theme.enableAutoWholeImage(true);
test_theme.setMinVisibleZoomLevel(5);),
but rendering the theme on the client side is still way too slow (even at zoom level 5).
So, my question boils down to this. Is there any way for a basemap to be manipulated by a user? I.e., Is there a way for a user to pass parameters to a basemap, essentially telling it which themes to turn on/off?
I know you can specify which zoom level the basemap's themes are visible, but again, we want the user to be able to have control of when a certain theme is shown or not.
Thank you for any help you can provide,
John

Edited by: user641525 on Mar 18, 2009 10:30 AMWhat you may try is to replicate your base map but take the point theme out of its definition. Then create a second tile layer for the new base map. You can add both tile layers to the client (but set only one of them to be visible). Then simply switch the tile layers' visibility on/off based on user turning on/off the point theme. The built-in Oracle Maps tutorial #22 (Multiple Base maps) has some sample code you might be able to re-use.
thanks

I have multiple devices in my family. Each of us has an iPhone and an iPad. Is there a way for each of us to have our own Apple ID but one account so we can all get the same music, movies, books, etc. I can't see paying twice for something in the same family.
Welcome to the world of digital media. Your can't really transfer it. I don't know what the rules are about transferring to your spouse but I do know that in some cases when you die, your heirs cannot inherit your digital media. This is why there is still an advantage to buying the CD since the usage rights belong to whomever holds the physical media.
A possible workaround is to burn the songs to a music CD with yout account (tracks only without song titles) and then having your wife upload it as a regular music CD onto her account. It's been a while since i've done this so I'm not sure if it would work now.
Please note that I'm not advocating copyright and/or TOS violations. I'm only suggesting ways to copy music for your own personal use which has traditonally been permitted. I only did this because I wanted to convert iTunes songs to mp3 files so I could burn them onto a data CD for use in my car. It would make sense that since married couples are a joint entity, this would be personal use.
Also, I'm not a lawyer so don't take this as legal advice. -
Hello can someone help me I have an iphone 4 and my daughter has an ipod touch we are on the same email address but somehow with in the last 25hrs all of my contacts are gone and only hers on on my phone is there a way for me to get all my contacts back?
If you need assistance with finding any of your restores or attempting to restore from any that happened prior to his incident follow this article
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
IF you do find a backup that has your contacts; I'd /highly/ recommand turning off your wifi network after the restore is finished because if the issue is with your iCloud your contacts may merge back with her's.
With iCloud you DO NOT want to share the account; bad things happen Evil evil thigns...
But in all seriousness; if two devices have the same iCloud; iCloud is told to merge and sync infomation between hte two and can't tell that it doesn't belong to the same person -

I purchased an audiobook from iTunes On my iPhone. I got a new phone and after the back up, the books I downloaded were not there. iTunes wants me to repurchase the books I downloaded. Is there a way for me to Redon load my already purchased books?
Hi..
On your new iPhone tap Settings > Store.
Make sure Books is turned ON.
You shouldn't need to re purchase the book > Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
We use to have multiple iPods, now we both have iPhones. When she wants to FaceTime with relatives she has to use my Phone because that's where the Apple ID is "tied" to. Now if we want to FaceTime each other it gets weird.
We share similar taste in music so the music is not the problem.
I'd just like her to have her own Apple ID for FaceTime, apps, etc.
is this possible?Sorry... Apple IDs cannot be merged...
I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

Is there a way for me to "gift" or send an album download from my iTunes account to my daughter in another city?
This is not a law forum but technically I think your daughter is supposed to own her own copy, not a second copy of the track you bought. In that regard it would be best to use Apple's gifting service to give her the track.

i have an iphone and an ipad (which are connected by the same apple id) i broke the phone and sold it but i didnt get to factory reset it because it was broken, is there any way for me to wipe my iphone from my ipad?
Try this:
Open the "Find my iPhone" app on your iPad, fill in your AppleID and password at the start up screen, and you should see a list of all your devices and their current location, if connected to a Wi-Fi or mobile data network. Devices not connected will be shown as "offline". But you can still trap on the icon and hit "erase iPhone" in the right hand window.
If your iPhone is not listed, you did not activate this feature during the setup of the phone and it can't be erased remotely.
If the phone is listed, even as offline, tap on "erase" to send the erase command. The next time your device will be connected to any kind of network, the content will be erased. -
I have an external hard drive of the brand Western Digital.
Before I got my iMac I moved a lot of my important files from my PC to the hard drive and today I went on and connected it to my iMac to move my files over to it.
When it had connected a window popped up that asked if I wanted to use this hard drive with the program Time Machine and create backups. Without thinking it trough enough and reading the warning properly (I'm stupid I know) I clicked "yes". I then realised how stupid it was and cancelled the formatting of the hard drive. But somehow the program still managed to delete all my important files and can't find any way to get them back. Neither can I connect the hard drive to my PC anymore so I can't check if the files are still there (which I doubt they are since I can't see them on my iMac either).
And now I wonder: is there any way for me to get back my lost files or are they lost forever?
Thank you in advance!
//GinaA data recovery specialist or some data recovery programs should be able to help. Most format simply rewrite the directory tree saying no files are on this disk. The bits that represent the files are still flipped appropreiately so they still exists, you just don't have the location info to get at them. Secure formats and erases rewrite each bit to a zero or 1 or random so the data is then truely gone. This type of format takes a long time to complete.
I'm not making a recomendation of a particular program but here is one company that does what you ask:
http://www.remosoftware.com/mac-recovery The cost is pretty high but I'm sure they don't sell many copies and need to cover their development costs.
Good luck and don't write anything on the freshly formatted disk until you decide what to do. -
I'm trying to downgrade my icloud storage; however, my MAC book will not upgrade pass 10.6.8 and I don't have my iphone anymore. If there another way for me to do this? I've tried everything I can find online and of course my coverage has expired and can't call the support team.
Hello Lara,
have you already called Apple and explained your current situation, because I don't see a way to downgrade your storage plan with a Mac only running Snow Leopard and without a iOS device running at least iOS 5.
Best regards. -
Is there a way for AutoVue viewer (JVue/VueBean object) to cancel long lasting loading/rendering operation? In our integration when we try to switch from a document being loading on another one we can get an error message “Cannot load page” (but the document is shown after that). Or if we try to stop loading document by calling jVue.closeDocument() we can see everlasting progress bar and indicator “Loading…” on the status bar.
No, it is not possible

Is there a way for apple to track down which apple id is currently associated to a device?
Hi! My iphone 4s was pick pocketed from me last night. I have FindMyIPhone installed on that device but unfortunately i forgot to turn on my location settings so i wasn't able to track down the culprit via GPS. I already contacted my provider to see if there's anything they could do about it, but i was informed they could only temporarily disconnect my service. I'm planning to have my phone blocked using its IMEI so that the thief could no longer use the phone and would otherwise be forced to have it fixed in istore or something. But my experiences here in our country (PHILIPPINES) makes me think i shouldn't be relying on the officials. Every year, the cases of stolen phones just rise up. And not anyone from the government is even doing a thing about this criminals.
Anyway, going back to my main concern, my phone has a passcode on it. But i am aware that anyone could just restore the phone and it'll be good as new. Chances are, the person who has it could register a new apple id and associate it with my phone's serial #. So my question is, is there a way for apple to see the new apple id associated to my phone using just the serial or IMEI? If so, will they allow me to get the new apple id associated to my phone? That way, i could coordinate with our local police here in PI and track down that person who has my phone.
Please help, i haven't slept really well since that incident happened. I know this might sound overrated. But i feel like i'm really desperate. I've only use that phone for 2months. And having to think of buying a new phone that costs a lot is just..... you get the picture. HelpApple can do nothing at all.
Sorry.
