MS Access developer with a change of career, so need PL/SQL type tools pls
Hello,
I am a recent MS Access developer, my position went away, so now need to bone up on PL/SQL 101 sort of knowledge. I have very little SQL experience, so am starting from square one in my learning Oracle. I would like available to me to-the-point examples of code when working with Oracle data using SQL Navigator 5 as my "Enterprise Manager" type tool. I need to quickly understand the basics in creating\constructing Stored Procedures and PL/SQL statements, need examples of naming conventions in the code and what the conventions achieve for me. I don’t want full details, just more to the point info please, unless you feel the details will be very useful in my understanding of the dbase tool.
Any info that you are willing to share to get me up and going would be appreciated!
1) If at all possible, use plain SQL instead of PL/SQL. See the O'Reilly book 'Mastering Oracle SQL'. A very high percentage of procedural code developed against Oracle is caused by not understanding how to code in 'plain' SQL.
2) Learn Oracle PL/SQL - any book by Steven Feuerstein will do. Again, look at O'Reilly.
3) Learn to read the Oracle docco. See http://tahiti.oracle.com
4) Understand 'effective Oracle coding' by reading any Tom Kyte book (at http://www.apress.com)
5) Use Oracle's SQL Developer as your basic development tool, and Oracle's JDeveloper as the advanced development tool - JDeveloper has a PL/SQL debugger built-in.
6) Get very, very familiar with the available PL/SQL library API ... look for the Supplied PL/SQL Procedures and Packages manual for the version of interest. (Name changes with versions, but that should give you the idea.)

How to compact and repair a MS Access database with NI CVI 8.5 (and SQL Toolkit)
Hello
I'm using the SQL Toolkit with CVI 8.5 for accessing MS Access Databases.
Is there a possibility to compact and repair the .mdb file with CVI?
Thanks in advance.Hello Ulrich,
with compact and repair I mean the MSAccess function "Compact and Repair".
Please follow the link below for more details:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/access-help/compact-and-repair-an-access-file-HP005187449.aspx
Normally you can execute this function directly in Access or with the Windows ODBC Data Sources Administrator => "Control Panel" => "Administrative Tools" => "Data Sources (ODBC)"...
I want to execute this function via cvi code and not by hand ;-).
Thank you for your support.

Password change fails in SQL Developer with verify function...
A couple of months ago I enforced a password verify function on our 11.2.0.3 databases and also one legacy 10.2.0.4 database.
At the time I tested on my account (which had elevated privileges...doh!). Now some users are hitting expiry, they can't change it via SQL Developer.
If I create a user with 'create session' privilege and set their profile to one that uses the verify function (see both below), I then log in to SQL Developer (we have tried with versions 3.1 (Windows) and 3.2 (Linux) with same failure results.
BTW,.. the password verify function enforces the following:
password must be minimum of 8 characters
password must not be the same as the user name, or user name (1-100)
password must contain at least a single digit
password must contain at least a single character
1. Works = I log into the local server and run command line SQLPlus, type 'password' and update. I can successfully change my password.
2. Fails = I log into the local server and run command line SQLPlus, type 'alter user <me> identified by <newpwd>;' I get:
TEST: SUTEMP > alter user sutemp identified by carport9999;
alter user sutemp identified by carport9999
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-28221: REPLACE not specified
This error is because the account does not have the 'alter user' privilege. I'm okay with this, as I don't want our users having this privilege.
3. I start SQL Developer 3.2, type 'alter user <me> identified by <newpwd>;' I get the same ORA-28221 error as above. That is fine, and as expected.
4. Now in SQL Developer, I type 'password', set a valid password, but I get 'Failed to change password' in the Script Output tab.
I have a database 'after servererror on database' trigger set, and querying the database table it is logging into, I see a record with a date stamp matching my failure with a server_error=28221 (the same as above).
So I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong here, or if this is a bug in SQL Developer. I don't want standard users having 'alter user' privileges, but I do want to enforce password verification.
I get the same result on three 11.2.0.3 databases (haven't tried any more but suspect same results for others) and one legacy 10.2.0.4 database, and using SQL Developer 3.1 and 3.2.

My old email that using register for apple ID cannot access/check any mail because that domain already deactivate.
So I changed my appleID and primary email and now I can not access iCloud with iOS7. ICloud shows my old appleID but I can't change it. How do I get iCloud to work with my updated ID?Hi ccharat,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! It sounds like you did a good job editing your Apple ID and primary email address, but you didn’t sign out of iCloud on your iOS device before hand. What you may need to do in this situation is go back to the Apple ID website and edit your Apple ID and primary email address back to the email address that is signed in with iCloud (there is no need to verify the account after editing it back to the old account, just changing it back is enough). Once your Apple ID is back to the original account, delete the iCloud account from the iOS device and be sure to keep all info on the device when prompted. After you delete the iCloud account, go back to the website and edit your Apple ID and primary email address back to the new address. Once it is back to the account you would like, you can sign into the iCloud on the iOS device with that new account and merge all of the data when prompted. Please use the following article as a reference.
iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5223
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Go to Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap “Keep on My [Device]” or “Delete from My [Device].” In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
I hope this helps,

How to use Oracle SQL Developer 4.0 to connect to Ms Access file with .accdb extension
Hi all,
I am using Oracle SQL Developer 4.0 and Ms Access 2013 under Windows 7 (64 bits)
After browsing and selecting MS Access file with accdb extention, I got an error message :[Microsoft] " Data source name not found and no default driver specified".
On Administravitve Tools=> ODBC Data Source Administrator=>Drivers I have File date
Name : Version
Microsoft Acess Driver (*.mdb, *accdb) 12.00.4518.1014 ACEODBC.DLL 26/10/2006
Would you please advise?
Thank you very much in advanceThat MS Access driver is 64-bit, I think. If SQL Developer, or JDK is 32-bit you need to use the 32-bit driver. You can see if you have a 32-bit driver installed using c:\windows\system32\odbcadm32.exe

Hello,
I'm doing some tests with ChaRM, Normal Change scenario.
As far as I know, the following steps would be the correct sequence (concerning development and test phases only):
1) Developers perform the correction in DEV and release their TASKS of the transport request
2) Developer Lead set the Normal Change document status to "to be tested"
3) In background, a Transport of Copies is created with all data previously stored in the original transport request. Then this ToC is transported into QAS
4) Change Manager set the Maintenance Cycle status to "Test"
5) Tester performs the test into QAS
6) Tester provides a valuable feedback and set Normal Change document status to "tested successfully"
According to the following SAP Portal article, it seems to be correct:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sm71_sp10/helpdata/en/48/db938dceba518de10000000a42189c/frameset.htm
During my tests, however, I have noticed that it is just possible to go from step 5 to 6 if the Maintenance Cycle status is set to "In Development with Release" (go a step back in the Cycle). Otherwise, I get the following error messages:
Warning Message Details Status was reset by system
Warning Message Details Action RELEASE_ALL cannot be performed during this maintenance phase
Warning Message Next status cannot be set because some actions cannot be executed.
Once I have done the Cycle status change, then it is possible to move from 5 to 6 without errors and then the original transport request is transported into QAS too.
Question: Is this the correct behavior or am I missing customizing?
Thanks in advance for your help.
DanielHello Vivek,
Thanks for your reply.
It is kinda weird the steps sequence, since the Tester needs to tell the Change Manager to move the cycle's status before approving the correction done in QAS (successfully tested).
Perhaps a new action between "to be tested" and "successfully tested" could exist, in order to request the CM to perform the cycle update.
But OK, that's how it is.
Regards,
Daniel -

The desktop, and older PC running XP seems to have a new lease of life after installing MSE. Faster boot up; much less resources in use etc, all the points that Potters and others have mentioned on the forum about MSE. Running Malware, Super Anti Spyware in conjunction with it.
Exactly my experience. I've said before that McAfee was tolerable on my reasonably powerful laptop, but it absolutely throttled the (upgraded) netbook rendering it unusable for up to 10 mins after boot and when it scanned. I was so impressed with the change that MSE brought to the netbook that I went for it on both computers and have not regretted it for a moment.

I traveled to a different country and using a new sim/new carrier. With the change in the sim, I have been unable to use the iMessage--outside of WiFi coverage area, and FaceTime at all time. I believe it is due to the phone number registered as an address in the phone, which has not changed with the change of sim; so it countinues to showing as an error while varifying the data.
Wonder if any of you are in a position to advise as to how to address the following.
1. I need to input correct phone no, meaning the number I am using in the correct location.
2. I need to activate FaceTime and be able to use it.
3. I need to be able to use iMessage and/or ordinary sms while outside of WiFi coverage area.
It may be mentioned in my current location I don't have GPRS on the cell phone which is the case in my regular station.
