Precision of systimestamp

alter session set nls_timestamp_format = 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS.FF6';
select systimestamp from dual;
I get the output
SYSTIMESTAMP
07-NOV-05 04.04.46.161000 PM +05:30
Why is systimestamp having only a precision of 1/1000second.Is there any way
to increase the precision?I want it to have a precision of 1/1000000 second.

very easy, migrate to linux ;-)
windows have only millisec

Precision In TIMESTAMP

Hi all;
I know timestamp data types has up to 9 precison after seconds.(Ref: http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/sql_elements001.htm)
SQL> SELECT systimestamp FROM dual;
SYSTIMESTAMP
02-FEB-07 02.26.51.207000 PM +02:00
SQL> BUt above query has 6(default for timestamp precision) digits and after 3 digits they become zero.(207000).
What i need is to display timestamp exactly 9 digits:
SQL> SELECT systimestamp FROM dual;
SYSTIMESTAMP
02-FEB-07 02.26.51.207569782 PM +02:00
SQL> Are there any ALTER SESSION command or any others to achieve this situation?
Thanks, Regards...

First insert..select is atomic so it will use one timestamp for all insert statements.
For second insert, if timestamp has 9 digits of precision(now it has 6) it may pass constraint(Am i right?)
Thanks..

Change the timestamp fractional seconds precision default

How do you change the database level default for fractional seconds precision from 6 to 9 so the systimestamp function will show all 9 digits for fractional seconds?

AIX 5.3 is a IBM version of UNIX which we have running on the PowerPC processors. The PowerPC processor does supply nanosecond information.
Our issue is three fold.
1) Make the PowerPC processor provide the nanosecond information. That was found at this link ==> http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/pseries/v5r3/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.aix.basetechref/doc/basetrf2/read_real_time.htm
2) Once we supply nanosecond time from the operating system, how do we make Oracle sysdate and systimestamp use this time?
3) Once Oracle sysdate and systimestamp is using the nanosecond information, what database, system or session parameter must we change to make our default fractional seconds precision of 6 become 9 system wide?

Hi
06474 is a MM-PUR error . It will also have effection to MM prochase order process.
Error message 06 474 with item category W and M contracts occurs if the
material on the PO has the same short description (text) as a non-stock
item from the referring contract.
If you change the description of your short text on the PO item (ex.
text1) or you insert a material master with a description the error
message will not appear.
The error message that is generated is part of standard functionality.
It is designed to prevent you from having a duplicate material.

Serious resolution issues with After Effects CC (2014) on Windows 8.1 Pro on Dell Precision M3800 laptop??

My new company installed Adobe Creative Cloud (There was some annoying Proxy issues at first, because of the seriously tight I.T policies) but we are having some serious resolution issues with After Effects CC 2014 (also have this resolution problem with Adobe Premiere, Media Encoder, Muse) on Windows 8.1 Pro on a Dell Precision M3800 laptop with icons and interface looking too small and hard to see, is there a fix, an update or a work around, can anyone help?
Any help will be appreciated!
k.regards
Ramon

Hi Todd is there a time-frame for this fix, there is a lot of pressure on me, because I convinced my company to get the Creative Cloud and quite a lot of the CC software is not compatible with the latest Windows 8.1 OS.
Is there at least a work around, until this big fix comes along?
k.regards

What use of having double precision in java.awt.geom?

Hi,
I am trying to draw a line using Line2D with this param:
g2d.draw( new Line2D.Double( 1.1d, 1.5d, 1.9d, 1.5d ) );
in my own JPanel paint method.
However, the result is that the panel does not display a line nor a dot at all. Only when i change it to:
g2d.draw( new Line2D.Double( 1.0d, 1.5d, 2.0d, 1.5d ) );
that it draws a dot in the panel's first pixel.
Can someone please guide or tell me why is this so? And what is the purpose of providing a double value for a geom ( such as Rentagle2D, Line2D, etc )?
The actual case is that I have created a graph with x and y axis. I set the graph to be 400pixel * 400 pixels. And the scale for the graph is 1 million unit * 1 million unit which means a pixel would have contain (1000000/400) units, or 0.004 pixels represent 1 unit. The problem occurs when i try to draw a line that is only 10 unit.(which nothing is draw on the panel). I try to use all 2D geom with double precision, yet i could not get the result that I wanted. Isn't that java 2D will handle the double precision for graphing or drawing?
Your help and reply is very much appreciated.
Thank you.

have in mind that you always have to fill 1 pixel to see anything as the panel has a 1 pixel grid.
i guess the thing about double precision is in the contains(...) or crosses(...) methods of the geom.* objects.
its nothing about drawing. how can you draw finer than the 1 pixel grid.
even the antialias has to fill more pixel to make you thing the line is smooth. (BTW: antialias makes fonts widt less than 10px look terrible :))

Yoga 2 Pro touchpad not recognized as precision touchpad on Windows 10

Hi all, I was really delighted to see Synaptics drivers being available for the Yoga 2 Pro for Windows 10 on your site yesterday. However, I am really confused to see that the Yoga 2 Pro touchpad is not recognized as a precision touchpad. Does the hardware not allow it or is it Synaptic's fault or what else? I'd really love to have these settings: http://twitter.com/Daniel_Rubino/statuses/617023404911239168The Synaptics driver you provide doesn't allow me to change what happens when I tap with 3 fingers (btw, Cortana isn't activated by your driver anyway - it simply doesn't work) and I'd like to select by myself what should happen when I swipe with 3 fingers. Why do you stick to the Synaptics driver settings, if it's integrated into Windows 10? Thanks for any help and best regardsSebastian

Also, 3 finger tap doesn't trigger Cortana over here... Please integrate the touchpad into Win 10 settings and let Windows handle all the stuff.

Exporting with precise length?

Hey everyone,
Relatively new to Logic, but not a total DAW dummy. The problem I'm having is kind of infuriating but otherwise I love the software.
Basically, I am building 4- and 8-bar loops in Logic at a tempo of 103 BPM. I have uploaded my samples to a beat sequencer and am triggering them via MIDI. I then quantize the samples according to Logic's 103 BPM grid. Once I have a loop of either 4 or 8 bars, I export its track as a WAV file. Under normal circumstances, I then load the WAV file, which should be precisely 4 or 8 bars long at 103 BPM, into my sampling pad (Roland SPD-SX). With the click on the Roland set to 103, I should be able to play the loop and have it repeat indefinitely without it "creeping".
What I described above would be my best-case scenario. Thankfully, this has worked many times for me. In fact, I can double-check that it's working by using the Tempo Match feature on the Roland-- if I tell the Roland that the loop is 8 bars long, it infers that the tempo is 103 based on the length of the WAV. This works perfectly.
Until today. I did my same system as always, exactly as described above, no hitches. But when I load this new loop in the Roland, it creeps and gets ahead. The Tempo Match check? Roland says my loop is 103.4 BPM. I was careful to not make a mistake in Logic; Logic told me it was 103.
I have since tried to make this particular loop 4 or 5 times and it's always the same. The Roland thinks it's at 103.4, which I would assume means that Logic is truncating the length of the export WAV. I don't think the problem is that Logic's metronome is faulty. My ears tell me the samples within the loop are perfectly in time at 103, but at the end of the 8 bars, the loop starts again just a hair early, getting further and further ahead each time the loop recycles. Which sounds very much like Logic is truncating the length of the export WAV.
I called Roland and confirmed the issue is not with the sampling pad. Does anyone know why this is happening now and never happened before, and could someone please tell me how I can be more precise with the export length in Logic so that my pad's Tempo Match feature correctly reads the length of the WAV loop to arrive at 103 (instead of 103.4) BPM?
Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time.
Jake

Logic's track export ends the exported file at the end of the audio so that if the last sound ends before the end of the four bars, it will not add the small amount of silence to the end of the file to make it come out even.
Set your left and right locators precicely at the loop start and end (4 or 8 bars), turn cycle on and bounce the loop instead of exporting it.

PS CS6 has a different set of installed fonts than my old PS CS4. How do I get my old fonts back? Don't like most of the newer CS6 fonts. Dell Precision, Windows 7. Does PS use the fonts in the Windows directory or does it use its own? If so, where are they in the directory? A lot of my preferred fonts show in the Windows directory but not in Photoshop, which does not display them within the program. Please help. If I get free fonts (NOT CC fonts) from elsewhere, where do I put them for Photoshop[ CS6 to use them? Thanks.

All versions of Photoshop get their fonts from your OS. Just install any missing font wherever Windows keeps fonts.

Using TEDS as storage for precision standards instead of transducers

My company makes and calibrates precision resistance, capacitance and inductance standards. These are not transducers, yet they posess calibration data that would benefit from 'internal storage'. Some data could event be represented as a polynomial or a table (capac vs. freq; resistance vs. temp)
Is there a standard like TEDS for 'source' components; or could TEDS be used to create a built-in datasheet? (Call it "SEEDS", Standards Equipped with Electronic Data Sheet ;-) .
Now is the right time to use %^<%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%3uZ>T
If you don't hate time zones, you're not a real programmer.
"You are what you don't automate"
Inplaceness is synonymous with insidiousness

Hello,
As of now, if there is such a standard, I am unaware of it. However, there may be a way to do something like this using TEDS. The IEEE 1451.4 (TEDS) standard does include an optional calibration section where different types of calibration data can be stored. So you may be able to utilize TEDS to store information about the resistors/capacitors/inductors. However, National Instruments software does not currently read in the calibration information and automatically process it.
Something else that could be considered is that along with the calibration section there is a user data section in TEDS format that allows the placement of ASCII data.
Also, with NI-DAQ 7.2, you have the ability to read in a bitstream from a TEDS sensor. So it is also possibl
e to develop your own format and read in the binary information and process it using LabVIEW. However, you would have to understand IEEE 1451.4, and how to write in the proper checksums, and then create your own TEDS sensor, but I do believe it is possible.
Interesting Idea! Keep them coming!

How can I change the precision of a numeric array indicator using property nodes ?

I want to change the precision of a numeric array indicator programatically using property nodes. I tried to see all the array properties but I couldn't find it. URGENT !!!

If you want to change the precision of an element in an array you must first get the reference to the array element. Then raise the reference to the more specific class of a digital numeric. Use a property node connected to that reference to set the precision. See the attached vi for an example.

How to specify precision and scale for a datatype in create procedure statement

Specifying precision and scale in the datatype when creating a procedure does not work:
create or replace function SqlTxFunctionTesting(inparam in number(9,2)
Error(1,48): PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "(" when expecting one of the following: := . ) , @ % default character The symbol ":=" was substituted for "(" to continue.

And one of the cons in the PL/SQL language in my view.
The language does not allow parameters to be declared in the fashion you are attempting to. Even declaring a subtype and using that, does not enforce either the precision or scale, on the parameter value passed.
Even worse - the parameter value can be a different data type all together from the defined parameter type - and a silent and implicit data type conversion will be done at run-time.
So you can expect run-time errors in your code unit caused by the caller passing invalid values, despite the compiler okaying the call from the caller to your code.
There are pros and cons to this approach. But if you are from a very strong type language environment like C or Pascal, you tend to see more cons than pros in this specific case.

0Did you ever have a business scenario where a Numerical column should store values only with a fixed precision and scale ?Lots of business requirements for specific precisions and scales.
A persons Age may required to be stored as whole numbers of no more than 3 digits.
A sum of money may required to be stored with no more than 2 decimal places of accuracy e.g. GB Pounds and Pence or US Dollars and Cents
A unit of length may required to be stored in metres with 2 decimal places for centimetres
A shoe size may be required to be stored with one decimal place for half sizes
etc.
etc.
Yes, you may just create all of them as generic NUMBER datatype, but creating them with precision and scale can provide additional information about the limitations expected for the values stored, especially for things like reporting tools that may use the specified precision and scale to determine how to display the values automatically (by default).
If you start questioning "what's the point?" then you may as well say what's the point in having a NUMBER datatype when we can store numbers in a VARCHAR2 datatype? or what's the point in having a DATE datatype when we can stored dates as VARCHAR2 datatype? etc.
No point in asking such a question because there's almost always a point to these things (and if there isn't they get deprecated in later versions).

Message 06474: "Please specify short text more precisely" for a purchase order with reference to a material group contract.
Additional key words
ME21, ME22, material description
Cause and prerequisites
In the new transactions for the purchase order, the system displays the message for a material group contract with reference, which is correct, if there is an assigned material without a material number and the short text, which was copied to the purchase order from the contract to help you, was not changed to the actual material text. In this case, the short text of the material should be more specific in the purchase order than that for the material group in the contract.
For situations in which the specification of the purchase order text does not need to be checked, the message could be made adjustable in Customizing.
In Transaction ME21 and ME22, the text is not copied and must be entered manually. However the system then no longer carries out a check.
Solution
For situations in which the specification of the purchase order text for contracts with the item category material group should not be checked, this note enables you to set error message 06474 in Customizing.
See the advance corrections.
