Mail selecting from column - Yosemite no good.

In Mavericks and previous OS's if I select a person's name in my inbox, then click the 'From' column I then see that email along with all the others from that person. If I use Mail in Yosemite performing the same action puts all the From mail into alphabetical order and unless the person you selected starts with 'Z' it disappears.
Either they have done a poor backward step or they have tried to be clever and there's a new method in doing this.
Can anyone offer any suggestions?
Thanks

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Column order in Mail (or From column won't stick)

Not my first post about this, but thought I'd try again. Back in January I was asking if anyone else had the issue where the From column just won't stay on the left side. I like From, Subject, Date, To. But one way or another, the From column jumps over to the left of To. ALL THE TIME.
Anyway, I switched to Entourage and have been using it for 8 months. But I was missing some Apple-gui-goodness and thought I'd try Mail again.
One day has passed, same problem.
So I know there's at least a few of you with this problem, but now my question is this - does not -everyone- have this problem, or just nobody else cares? Do YOU have this issue, and if so, why are you not pulling your hair out?
It's also during research like this when I see just how inaccessible Apple support really is. I've bought Applecare on every Mac I've ever owned, yet I just can't bring myself to spend an hour with someone on the phone with a...uhhh....well, an accent I have trouble understanding. Not to mention the mind-numbing-madness of rebooting, deleting prefs, root user, blah blah blah. I've tried it all.
Maybe I just needed to vent.
I'm going back to Entourage, because Mail is still a POS (it's Junk filtering is basically worthless as well, compared to Entourage, but I'd live with it if the stinking columns would stay put).
But please tell me, how is it that there's not thousands of people screaming and complaining about this? Am I just one of the cursed????? Sigh.

JF, I did understand you. It seems you've misunderstood me, though.
My desired arrangement:
FROM / SUBJECT / DATE / TO
And that's what I've been using these 4 days without a hitch. My preferred arrangement is this:
Subject / From / To / Date
move on if you wish, I was kind of hoping for some fresh
insight - nothing personal
It seems you missed the smiley. I'm willing to figure out what's going on here, and that's the reason I've been trying to reproduce the problem. But I can't, that's all. I'm just wondering whether, according to your observations, I should leave the settings that way a few more days before giving up.
Also note that the -only- other column visible is the 'dot'
column (message status?) that you can't remove anyway.
In my case, I also have visible (both before and after making the change) Flags on the left and Size / Attachments on the right, i.e. my preferred arrangement is this:
Flags / Read Status / Subject / From / To / Date / Size / Attachments
What I've been using the last 4 days (and am still using) is this:
Flags / Read Status / From / Subject / Date / To / Size / Attachments
I clicked on the 'Drafts' mailbox, then back to the Inbox
Just tried it. No change. Your preferred arrangement sticks for me no matter what...

Selecting From Column with Long Datatypes

create table temp
a long
insert into temp values ('abc');
commit;
select * from temp
where a = 'abc'
I am getting the following error while am tring to select a = 'abc';
ora-00997 : illegal use of LONG datatype
How can i select values from a column with long datatypes

insert into temp values ('abc');
cannot (must not) work, when the column is type long (thats a numeric type!!)
-> here you get an ora- 00911 errorcode
that the select doesn't work then should be clear.

Change mail's from column (received from)

I am trying out the LetterBox plugin for Mail (to get 3 vertical panels rather than the two horizontal panels). The only thing is, the "From" column shows the address, and I rather it show the smart name if I have them in my Address Book (to save some space in the panel & to make it look cleaner).
I know that I can get the e-mail header to show the smart name rather than the address, but what about the "From" column?

I don't think you can change this. The from column uses whatever name the sender has supplied, without the email address, so "Joe" <[email protected]> will show as Joe. When I view the message, this will be matched against my address book and the name from the address book will be used in the viewing pane. If the sender has supplied only an email address without enclosing angle brackets this will be used in the from column. If they supply only an email address enclosed in angle brackets then the bracketed form will be used twice in the from column. This last has to be a bug!

Anyway to cleanup Mail's "From" Column???

OK let's say my Dad's email is [email protected] & he is listed in my address book as Dad Monroe.
How come in the "From" column it lists I received an email from [email protected] & then in the header of the email under from it correctly lists it as "Dad Monroe"
Is there anyway to configure it such that when I receive an email from someone that has that email listed under their name in my address book, I see in the "from" column just their name as I have it listed in the address book, much like what I see in the header of the email?

Full address in 'From' column

I'm looking for a method to show the actual email address in Mail's 'From' column rather than the 'friendly' name that's shown if it's present in the email header.

There is no way I know of to tell Mail to not be "smarter" than it should be. AFAIK, the closer you can get is unchecking Preferences > Viewing > Use Smart Addresses, but this only applies to viewing the message, it has no effect on the From column.

Since upgrade to Yosemite, whenever I send an Email, the receiver sees it as coming from my wife only in the "From" column regardless of which signature I use. How do I change this?

I recently upgraded to Yosemite.
When I send an Email, the receiver sees that it comes from my wife in their "from" column
We have separatee signatures that I can chose from and our Email account is identified with both of our names.
How do I change this so that when I send something, the receiver knows it is from me and not from my wife.

It may be that you have more than one outgoing mail account, and you're sending from the wrong one. From the Mail menu bar, select
          Mail ▹ Preferences...
The Mail preference dialog opens. Select the Composing tab from the row of icons at the top. From the menu labeled
          Send new messages from:
choose
          Account of selected mailbox
Note that this setting may have no effect if you start a new message while a VIP or smart mailbox is selected in the mailbox list. Those are saved searches, not actual mailboxes.
If the problem remains, select the Accounts tab in the preference dialog, then select the affected account in the list on the left.
In the Account Information pane, select the correct server in the menu labeled
          Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)
If there's only one server in the menu, select
          Edit SMTP Server List...
and add a new server with the correct settings. If you're not sure how to do that, try the Mail Settings Lookup.
Another possibility is that the wrong card in your address book is selected as yours. Select your card in the Contacts application. Then select
          Card ▹ Make This My Card
from the menu bar.

Transfering mail rules from Lion to Yosemite.

Help please, how do you transfer mail rules from Apple Mail 5.3 in Lion to 8.0 in Yosemite. Thanks

The file in question that you are looking for is SyncedRules.plist in the MailData folder. I tried re-naming a MessageRules.plist file and it didn't work. It would be an arduous task, but the best suggestion that I have, other than to re-create your rules, is to use a texteditor like SubEthaEdit to make the format of MessageRules comply with the format of SyncedRules.plist. I haven't tried it myself, but it might work. Best of luck!!!

Selecting from which accout I want to send mail from

On my 17" powerBook, when I go into mail and want to compose a new mail, in the header it gives me a drop down menu to select from which mail account I want to send the mail from.
Now on my desktop G5, that DropDown menu is no where to be seen. I cannot figure out where or how to turn that feature on. I have both computers logged in at the same time and have compared all the settings between them and they all match.
PLEASE
how do I get that dropdown menu to appear on my DeskTop G5
Thank you to anyone that can help

So, if I understand this correctly, you have ONE physical account, and you have one or multiple aliases that point to the actual user@realAddress of this one physical account.
In Mail>Preferences>Accounts>Account Information, it has:
Account type:
Description:
Email Address:
Full Name:
What do you have listed in the Email Address field? Is it
user@realAddress, aliasUserName1@aliasAddress1, aliasUserName2@aliasAddress2, ...???
If so, I would have thought that that should normally enable the Accounts field that I talked about in my previous post.
If that doesn't do it, why not create a second (temporary bogus) mail account? For example, you could create a temporary fictitious account using localhost as your smtp and imap/pop servers). It'll give you warning messages during setup because there is no server at localhost but that's okay, just continue onward to account completion.
Or create a real mail account at AIM (AOL) -- they're free and you can give that one out when you're worried about disclosing your email address. Go to http://mail.aim.com and create one, then go to http://help.channels.aol.com/kjump.adp?articleId=219584, which has the directions to configure Mail.app account preferences.
Then try the Customize header... thingy again. Then delete the fictitious account in Mail>Preferences>Accounts (or the free AIM account if you never intend to use it). Because once the multiple email addresses have been specified as your email addresses in the real original account, I would think that the Accounts field should stick. If not, I'm stumped for ideas.

Unable To Select From SQL Server table with more than 42 columns

I have set up a link between a Microsoft SQL Server 2003 database and an Oracle 9i database using Heterogeneous Services (HSODBC). It's working well with most of the schema I'm selecting from except for 3 tables. I don't know why. The common denominator between all the tables is that they all have at least 42 columns each, two have 42 columns, one has 56, and the other one, 66. Two of the tables are empty, one has almost 100k records, one has has 170k records. So I don't think the size of the table matters.
Is there a limitation on the number of table columns you can select from through a dblink? Even the following statement errors out:
select 1
from "Table_With_42_Cols"@sqlserver_db
The error message I get is:
ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message [Generic Connectivity Using ODBC]
ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from sqlserver_db
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Not a very efficient and space friendly design to do name-value pairs like that.
Other methods to consider is splitting those 1500 parameters up into groupings of similar parameters, and then have a table per group.
Another option would be to use "vertical table partitioning" (as oppose to the more standard horizontal partitionining provided by the Oracle partition option) - this can be achieved (kind of) in Oracle using clusters.
Sooner or later this name-value design is going to bite you hard. It has 1500 rows where there should be only 1 row. It is not scalable.. and as you're discovering, it is unnatural to use. I would rather change that table and design sooner than later.

Getting an error while selecting from table having CLOB column.

Hi All,
I have below table created in My oracle database version Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0.
CREATE TABLE my_clob -- Dummy table created
(DataBody CLOB);
Current Database Character set - WE8MSWIN1250.
On the front end of my application, I have one form through which I can save/edit data in the above table. If I'm creating one new entry in the above table then it first check with existing record to avoid the duplicate entry and the this point application create the below select statement on the above table and return the error "ORA-00932: inconsistent data types: expected - got CLOB".
I can not change the sql statement.
SELECT * FROM my_clob WHERE databody IS NULL OR databody ='';
Even when I run the same statement on my DB server I’m getting the same error. Shown below
SQL> SELECT * FROM my_clob WHERE databody IS NULL OR databody ='';
SELECT * FROM my_clob WHERE databody IS NULL OR databody =''
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got CLOB
SQL>
Is there anything with OraOLEDB which causing this error? Please help me out to get rid of this error.
Thanks,
Santosh

You cannot compare directly a CLOB column with a VARCHAR2 column. In your case you don't need to do such comparison because Oracle consider zero length strings as null values:
SQL> create table my_clob(data int, databody clob);
Table created.
SQL> insert into my_clob values(1, null);
1 row created.
SQL> insert into my_clob values(2, '');
1 row created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> select * from my_clob where databody is null;
      DATA
DATABODY
         1
         2About null values in Oracle, please read http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e26088/sql_elements005.htm#SQLRF30037.

Selecting from a SQL Server 2005 with long column names ( 30 chars)

Hi,
I was able to set up a db link from Oracle 11.2.0.1 to SQL Server 2005 using DG4ODBC.
My problem is that some column names in the Sql Server are longer than 30 chars and trying to select them gives me the ORA-00972: identifier is too long error.
If I omit these columns the select succeeds.
I know I can create a view in the sql server and query it instead of the original table, but I was wondering if there's a way to overcome it with sql.
My select looks like this:
select "good_column_name" from sometable@sqlserver_dblink -- this works
select "good_column_name","very_long_column_name>30 chars" from sometable@sqlserver_dblink -- ORA-00972Thanks

I tried creating a view with shorter column names but selecting from the view still returns an error.
create view v_Boards as (select [9650_BoardId] as BoardId, [9651_BoardType] as BoardType, [9652_HardwareVendor] as
HardwareVendor, [9653_BoardVersion] as BoardVersion, [9654_BoardName] as BoardName, [9655_BoardDescription] as BoardDescription,
[9656_SlotNumber] as SlotNumber, [9670_SegmentId] as SegmentId, [MasterID] as MasterID, [9657_BoardHostName] as BoardHostName,

this is the error i'm getting for performing a select * from v_boards@sqlserver_dblink
ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:

ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from sqlserver_dblinkI also tried replacing the * with specific column names but it fails on the columns that have a long name (it doesn't recognize the short names from the view)
what am I doing wrong?

Selecting all columns from table in a model query

I have written a model query which joins 4 tables, applies some rules and returns updated rows by selecting 4 columns out of this. Currently it works fine because all 4 columns are from MODEL aliases. Now I need to select 16 more columns in the same query but none of these columns is added in MODEL aliases. When I tried selecting these columns I got oracle error ORA - 32614. Can someone please guide me to include these columns in the same model query?
I tried couple of options but no luck. Here are those options for ready reference:
1. I cannot nest existing model query into another select because there are no columns avaiable to join in output of current query to map with other records.
2. I cannot include all 16 columns in MODEL aliases because some of these columns are actually output of user defined functions.
I am using Oracle database version 11g Release 11.2.0.1.0.

Thank you Avijit for your reply. There is a syntax error on the ON in this part of the statement which I don't know how to fix - I tried messing around with another INNER JOIN but am not confident that I'm doing the right thing:
SENAlertType.SENAlertTypeIDONClassMember.ClassMemberStudentID
Thanks for your help! I will need to do some more bedtime reading on joins.

Invalid Column Name on select from materialized view?

Hey all, I have created this materialized view for my java to select from. For some reason when I try to select from it, I get invalid column name. Here is my mat view statement in its simplest form:
create materialized view mv_pgridtcevcluster_property as
select distinct clustername_ as "OBJECT_ID", CLUSTERNAME_, LICENSEMODE_
from p_gridtcevcluster p
order by clustername_;
Now when I run my select statement from jdbc:
SQL: select object_id from MV_PGRIDTCEVCLUSTER_PROPERTY
java.sql.SQLException: Invalid column name
     at oracle.jdbc.driver.DatabaseError.throwSqlException(DatabaseError.java:112)

     at historian.objects.mgmt.udrManagerTest.gatherObjects(udrManagerTest.java:73)
Anyone have issues with this before? It seems to throw the error sporatically, any help would be much appreciated!
Regards,
TimS
Edited by: TimS on Mar 30, 2009 1:54 PM
Nevermind, figured it out. Was using wrong column name identifier when picking values from resultset.

Since you have "OBJECT_ID" in quotes, Oracle stores the column name literally and case sensitively, and the column name must be capitalized when referenced.
From a regular sql*plus window, try
select object_id from mv_pgridtcevcluster_property;
select OBJECT_ID from mv_pgridtcevcluster_property;
select "OBJECT_ID" from mv_pgridtcevcluster_property;What is the result from each of them?
