Looking for the oracle equivalent of T-SQL 'SELECT TOP n'
Hi,
I'm looking for the Oracle equivalent of T-SQL 'SELECT TOP n'
and can't find any. There is SAMPLE(n) function but it supposed
to pick up random values and I'm not sure if it's possible to
make it select top values. Please help 8-)
Thanx
Hi Marina.
Oracle does not have a functionality like SQL Server for TOP
selection. The ROWNUM option should be used with great care and
you may get unreliable results.

Looking for the right application.
What is the equivalent of the Notepad on the Macbook Air?
I am supposing you are looking for a text editor, and NOT a word processor.
I was one looking for an equivalent, and found some difficulty in finding one. IMHO, Apple devastated TextEdit with the advent of Lion. They added "features" which removed its ability to act as a simple text editor. For a while, I simply installed a copy of the Snow Leopard version, but was on the lookout for a super-simple editor for editing txt files, and not adding any formatting, paragragh styles and other features which can ruin batch and text files. I also did not want anything which littered the disk with "versions".
If you are truly looking for the closest equivalent to "Notepad", I have found an app in the Mac App Store, curiously called "Notepad", a simple TXT Editor By Kupon.BG Ltd. It is even better than Apple's old editor.
Just do a search within the app store for "notepad", and select the first entry...the one by Kupon. Or use this link. -

What is the Oracle equivalent of the Microsoft Access FIRST function?
Using: Oracle 10gR2 RAC on SUSE Linux 9 (10.2.0.3)
In the process of converting a Microsoft Access database to Oracle, an Access query is using the FIRST function.
What is the Oracle equivalent of the Microsoft Access FIRST function?
In the attempt to convert, the Oracle FIRST_VALUE function was used. However, the same results was not achieved.

min(upper(trim(tre.dname))) keep (dense_rank first order by tre.gcusno) as dname_std

Where to look for the computed stats collected using gather_table_stats
I have used analyze command before but new to gather_table_stats.
I have executed gather_table_stats procedure as given below. Now where to look for the statistics estimated and also what are the important parameters I need to look in the stats ? Any major difference between analyze & gather_table_stats ?
SQL> exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(ownname => 'TPDBS01A', tabname => 'x_TPD_STG_TL_SF_LEGAL_OWN
ER' , estimate_percent => 50, method_opt => 'for all indexed columns size auto');
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.The command "analyze table" is deprecated for gathering optimizer statistics. But it is still the only command to get for instance the chained rows. This command is no longer maintained for new features, so if you use this command to collect statistics, it might not collect all needed numbers for the optimizer so the plan could be wrong.
The package dbms_stats is collecting all the figures that the optimizer needs to genererate an optimal access plan. All new database features are incorporated only here.
The statistics numbers can be found in the normal tables like USER|ALL|DBA_TABLES, ...TAB_COLUMNS, ...INDEXES, ...IND_COLUMNS etc. There you can find for instance number of rows in table, clustering factor for indexes and more numbers like this. They are not really needed for us human beings, they are used by the optimizer to generate the access plan. -
Error when installing 9.0.1.4.0 patch set for the Oracle Database Server.
Hi to all.
Currently, i am trying to install patches for portal server.
The server OS is Sun Solaris 8.
We are using Oracle9iAS.
Now, we are installing 9.0.1.4.0 patch set for the Oracle Database Server.
We managed to install the patch, but have problem with the Post Install Action.
We managed to run
-ALTER SYSTEM ENABLE RESTRICTED SESSION;
-@rdbms/admin/catpatch.sql
-ALTER SYSTEM DISABLE RESTRICTED SESSION;
-CONNECT / AS SYSDBA
-update obj$ set status=5 where type#=29 and owner#!=0;
-commit;
But, when we come to the next command, which is to shutdown, it gives us like
this..
SQL> update obj$ set status=5 where type#=29 and owner#!=0;
1402 rows updated.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> shutdown immediate
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-01219: database not open: queries allowed on fixed tables/views only
We tried to startup the database..it gives us this error..
SQL> startup
ORA-01081: cannot start already-running ORACLE - shut it down first
So, we tried to shutdown again..
SQL> shutdown immediate
ORA-01089: immediate shutdown in progress - no operations are permitted
I been informed that this is maybe a Database problem related. Any ideas?
Best Wishes,
Rushdan Md Saad.Patchsets could be obtained (only) from http://metalink.oracle.com
You need to have valid CSI for access.
P.S: Sorry Werner, I didn't see you post.

OBIEE 11G Installation error during configuration steps with message "Distributing Repository" failed.
I searched lot of forums but all they say, install bos.loc.utf.EN_US Package for the Oracle BI locale setting english-usa language. From where we can download this package.
Thanks in advance.But I am assuming that when I make the installer, the 32-bit Run Time Engine is appened with the installer, as show below
Since from the picture you can see its including the support installers from '\Program Files (x86)\'
The application runs queries to fetch data from database in SQL server 2008, and for that I am using a Microsoft SQL Native Client 2008 R2 64 bit ( this is the only version that installs on either PC, even the one on which I developed my LV Application).
I am not using any driver, only toolkits for reports - and for that I un-checked the "Remove unused polymorphic VI instances" when making the executable, otherwise LV throws up an exception that share variable are not being included.
Yes I did reboot every time after I ran the installation.
Still getting the same error. -

I'm trying to make a time sheet and include a grid, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to print a full grid on my spreadsheet. There are options for shaded grids but I want a defined grid, and I have spent the last 2 hours looking for the answer. Any ideas?
Hi Cynthia,
Are you planning to have this table do any of the calculation, or is is to be used as the electronic equivalent of a sheet of paper with a grid printed on it—a place to record the data.
For your seven column table:
Are you using one or more rows at the top of the table to label the data below? If so, you might want this row (or these rows) to be set as Header Rows.
Are you using the leftmost column to label the rows? If so, you may want this column to be a Header column.
The default table supplied on the "Blank" templates contains one header row and one header column. If you need more (or fewer) Header rows or columns, select the table, then go Table (menu) > Header Rows > (choose the number you need). Repeat to set the number of Header Columns.
To make a seven column table from the table supplied by default, click on any cell in column H (The eighth column), and drag right to add more cells to the selection, until you get to the last column of the table. With these cells selected, Go Table > Delete Columns.
To make the remaining seven columns fit across a single page:
Go View > Show Print View to show the table as it would appear when printed to paper.
Select the table by clicking its icon in the Sheets List to the left (easy method), OR by carefully clicking on the outside boundary of the table itself (fiddley method).
With the table selected, you will see square white handles at each corner and at the middle of each side (including the top and bottom).
With the mouse, grab the handle in the middle of the right side of the table and drag right (or left) until the table just fits onto the width of the defined page.
With the table still selected, set the thickness and colour of the cell boundaries using the Gaphics Inspector (as described by Jerry), or using the Stroke, Thickness and Color Well controls in the Format bar above the working portion of the Window.

Looking for the best solution for downgrading a database from 11.2 to 11.1
we have an install of 11.2 grid and have made several attempts at adding 11.1 binaries and using the 11.2 infrastructure. we patched, etc... but all of our attempts failed in getting 11.1 to work across the cluster.
we have decided to make all of the installs version 11.1.
I am looking for the most straight forward approach to migrate our 11.2 down to 11.1 with the least amount of downtime.

Hi - I am looking for the Adobe Illustrator 2014 1.2 (or .0.2) bugfix update for Mac - and it is not visible in the Adobe Creative Cloud Packager (Mac version). The only update visible is Illustrator CC 2014.1 - which is what introduced the bugs.
The only thing that I can think of that might be causing the issues that I have a Mac Mini on Mavericks.
DaveHi
I have discovered that my question above is a non-question. A user triggered by looking at the below article about Illustrator 2014 cc 17.0.2
http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/release-note/illustrator-17-0-2-release-notes.html
He had recently upgraded from wht we now know is 18.0 to 18.1 which is the latest version. He read the above artic
le and supposed that it was a bug fix release for his version - because the v17 ov18 number is not often displayed. It is usually just 2014 CC.
I have asked him to post a bug report about Adobe Illustrator CC 2014.1

Problem with my program looking for the settings file in the wrong folder
I have been writing a simple FTP file uploader, what I want to do is be able to select the files I want to upload in windows explorer and then right click and click the menu item and it launches the program and passes the files paths that I have selected to it.
So I use this in the windows registry "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_03\bin\java.exe -jar D:\BenFTP\BenFTP.jar %1"
It launches fine and has no problem finding the files I want to upload. The problem is that it tries to look for the settings file in the same folder that the file I am try to upload is in. Which it's not suppose to do since the settings file is in the same folder that the .jar is in.
Edited by: ColNewman on Feb 5, 2008 6:55 PMSo, you're looking for your settings file in your current working directory. There's no way to set the CWD in your registry entry (is there?) so that isn't a practical thing to do. Presumably you're using a File object or a FileReader or something? Can't do that.
One alternative is to look for the settings file in the classpath. You can get a URL to a file in the classpath like this:URL settings = this.getClass().getResource("/settings.xml");Or you can get an InputStream to read the file by using the getResourceAsStream method. You would have to make sure that your executable jar file contained a Class-Path entry that specified the right directory, because the directory the jar is contained in isn't automatically in an executable jar's classpath.
Another alternative is to ask the user where the settings file is supposed to be, and put an entry in the Preferences (java.util.prefs) to remember that location. -

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
Cheers, Tom -
How to look for the Table Name
Hi Friends,
Sometimes we need to download the table for the desired information if the same is not available from a particular report. How to look for the table name? Is there a report or a particular feild, where we can find the name of the particular table?
Thanks for the assistance.
RegardsHi Friend,
If you want to see the structures then go to SE11. Sometimes it happens that you cannot find the table names but only fields. In such case, if you want to find the Table names which is not available, then go to SE90.
Abap Dictionary > Fields > Table Fields.
Now Enter the Field name in Right Hand Side of the screen then Execute. You will see the all tables by which that Fields are used.
