Is there any function to get the name of the days?

Hi,
I'm using oracle 10.2.0.1.0
Is there any function to get the days of the week?
like i need to get sunday,monday,tuesday.....saturday.
I know i can use union and select the name from dual one by one.
But just want to know whether there is any other way.
I need to show the 7 days in a poplist in my form, thats the requirement
Thanks

I think you should use a pl/sql function for this.
Nah ... just joking.
I'd be tempted to just use a union all statement to return the seven literals. People will look at it and know exactly what it does.Yeah, agreed, I was just demonstrating that the format mask of a to_char(..., 'Day') pads with spaces, which seems to have been missed in the above answers. ;)

  • Is there any way to get the canvases names on the form

    i have a form in Orcle 6i
    i want when the form load i get the names of the Canvases on the Form automatically
    to change their visual attribute
    is there any way to get the name of the canvases on the form automatically
    Thanks in advance

    The amount of time to evaluate each item in a Form is a lot less than you think. You are dealing with milliseconds. Worse case scenario, you might add 1 second to your form load time.
    I think Francois's suggestion is the best solution, but if this is still too much time, you might concider creating strategic When-New-Item-Instance triggers on an item in each of your canvases that would perform what you want to do.
    This will most likely cause problems of its own, but it is an alternative.
    Food to get the thought process flowing... :-)

    Currently I have an application that runs on our network. When someone logs on to the network it checks there system and gets the pc name. I would like to also get the IP address of that system. As well I may later like to ping that computer.

    Because if wan or internet then the remote computer would have to have an address that is reachable from your computer. For the internet this would mean it would have to be public. And for a wan the IP would have to be unique across the wan.

  • Is there any way to get the files from other computer ?

    Hai all,
    I have 2 computers connected. I know the IP address of other computer. Is there any way to get the files from other computer. (for e.g. I want to get the files from specific folder. In Java netwroking is it possible? (Any programs)

    Bro Take it easy.
    Think you need to send a Image file named ("abc.gif")
    now develop a server using ServerSocket and connect it in local IP and any PORT
    For example i think ur server is connected in "localhost" and 9000 port.
    Now make ur server educated using some commands.
    For example:
    FileName: <File Name String>
    [Means new file is sending by connected client]
    FileSize: <File size long or int value>
    [ So that ur server can determind about the total length of sender file]
    DataModeOpen
    [Now your client will send its image data, this command means your client software is sending data]
    fjadlkfjaofaijojfwoeiurfodkjflsajlfksa
    l23j4lj23lkjlasjfoq23j4rokjelfkjasldkf
    2o3j4lk2j3ljslakdjf2l3j4 l23kjlk23k4j
    DataModeClose
    [Means file sending finished]
    Close
    [Means your client connection is closed]
    Now develop a client supporting this command.
    For example(Server):
    String getFileName=null;
    long getFileSize=0;
    public handleCommand(String getCmd) {
        if(getCmd.startsWith("FileName")) {
                String[] splitData=getCmd.split(":");
                this.getFileName=   splitData[1];
                outPutStream.writeBytes("+OK");
        } else if(getCmd.startsWith("FileSize")) {
                String[] splitData=getCmd.split(":");
                this.getFileSize=Long.parseLong(splitData[1]);
                outPutStream.writeBytes("+OK");
        } else if(getCmd.startsWith("DataModeOpen")) {
               //data mode open so receive data
              receiveData();
              outPutStream.writeBytes("+OK");
        } else if(getCmd.startsWith("DataModeClose")) {
              //close client socket
             getClientSocket.close();
    }For client:
    DataInputStream dataIn=null;
    BufferedOutputStream bout=null;
    public sendFile(bytes[] getBytes) {
            //if ok found then do other or show error message
        if(sendCmd("FileName:"+getFileName)) {
            if(sendCmd("FileSize:"+getFileSize)) {
                if(sendCmd("DataModeOpen")) {
                   bout.write(getBytes);
                } else {
                   showError(3);
            } else {
                   showError(2);
       } else {
            showError(1);

  • Is there any way to get the height/width of an image before importing it in the indesign document.

    Hi All,
    I need to obtain an image's attributes such as dimensions (height, width in pixels) without placing image in indesign document.
    I have full path of the image (say abc.jpg is stored at c:\my pic\abc.jpg).
    I have obtained the IDFile for this image, tried getting size using GetFileSize() which correctly return size in bytes.
    Is there any way to get the height/width of image without importing it in the indesign document.
    Please, give me some hints. I have spent quite a lot time digging in CHM. I have searched in FileUtils, IDFile API's but found no method which serves this purpose.
    At this point I am clueless where to search next.
    Any help will be appriciated.
    Just a point to mention, I am able to get image height and width for an image in indesign doc though Its not my requirement.
    Thnx,
    D.

    You might be able to examine the contents of the PlaceGun after calling kImportAndLoadPlaceGunCmdBoss without actually placing the image in a document. Not sure, but would be worth looking at.
    Otherwise you will probably have to write platform specific code, ideally with a generic platform-independant wrapper (see SDKSamples/paneltreeview/PlatformFileSystemIterator).
    For the Mac, look at CGImageGetWidth() etc., not sure what the best option is for windows.
    Perhaps Quicktime could provide you with a platform independant solution.

  • When using an external (ergonomic mouse) is there any way to get the wheel to scroll one full page at a time?

    When using an external (ergonomic mouse) is there any way to get the wheel to scroll one full page at a time? Much appreciated.

    I can't use the keyboard to scroll. I need to keep my hand on the mouse, otherwise I'd never get anything done. Since I have no problem getting Firefox to scroll one page at a time, and I'm constantly jumping between 3 browsers, it would be nice to be able to scroll a full page at a time in Safari, just like I can in Firefox. Thanks.

  • I have downloaded a Audio Book from Itunes Store, but rencently i have had to reinstall windows, is there any way to re-download the audio book from Itunes, i know that the audio books are one time downloads, but is there any way to get the audio book

    I have downloaded a Audio Book from Itunes Store, but rencently i have had to reinstall windows, is there any way to re-download the audio book from Itunes, i know that the audio books are one time downloads, but is there any way to get the audio book back as i have already paid for it once and i would not like to pay for it twice.

    If you haven't got a backup copy and if it's still in the store then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download (there is no guarantee that they will) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • Is there any way to get the server app other that through the app store. We do not have our system conneted to a network. I typical downloaded items on a non-apple system.

    is there any way to get the server app other than through the app store. The system that I need it on are not connected to the internet.
    We run a closed-loop network of apple systems and I tipically downloaded updates on a non-apple system that was on the internet.
    Any ideas?

    I did buy the server app, went to the app store to download it. This system I'm using for downloads is Snow Leopard 10.6.8, it shows that I can download it but only as an Install which says I need 10.8. I can't seem to find a way for it to just download as a package or .dmg file so that I can copy it to DVD/CD or flash drive.

    Is there any report to get the header/item text at GR stage together with a date range?
    at the point of goods receipt?  Or a report that could be run to search for header/item text at GR stage together with a date range?
    Text that was entered at the point of goods receipt?

    Hi
    Check MB51 report with posting dates for materials/vendors and use the display variant document header text (which is GR header text). I hope this is the one you are looking for.

  • Is there any way to get the query used in discoverer from backend??

    Hi All,
    I am new to dicoverer.
    Is there any way to get the query used in discoverer from backend??
    Thanks,
    Sachin

    Hi,
    you can view the SQL from within the discoverer menu:
    in desktop: View-> SQL Inspector
    in Plus: Tools-> Show SQL
    The SQL in the DB tables is encrypted so it's a problem getting it from there.
    You can export the workbook into SQL but it is not working for every worksheet (subquery, inline pivot tables...)
    you can create a batch file to export them all using the output of this script:
    select null,null,'echo off'
    from dual
    union all
    select distinct
    qs.qs_doc_name Workbook_name,
    qs.qs_doc_details Worksheet_Name,
    'start /wait <path>\dis51usr.exe /connect '||'&p_user_name'||'/'||'&p_password'||'@'||'&p_env'||' /apps_user /apps_responsibility "&responsibility" /opendb '||
    chr(34)||qs.qs_doc_name||chr(34)||' /sheet "'||qs.qs_doc_details||'"'||' /export SQL "C:\Export Discoverer SQL\'||qs.qs_doc_name||'-'||qs.qs_doc_details||'.sql" /batch'
    from eul_us.eul5_qpp_stats qs
    where qs.qs_doc_name is not null
    --order by 1,2
    union all
    select null,null,'echo off'
    from dual
    union all
    select null,null,'exit'
    from dual
