Pull info from a drop db

I am trying to learn quickly and want to write a tag to pull info from a DB to a page.
??

Is this from a JSP? It sounds like you may want to check out the JDBC tutorial.. it's pretty light and will get you started on using JDBC.

  • Can Acrobat create forms which pull info from Excel for the fields?

    Any suggestions on how to create multiple documents using fields from an Excel spreadsheet? I need to create over 400 of the same document but need personal information in each one, so not sure if this is something which I can do with Acrobat or if I need to find another option.  Any suggestions are welcome.  Thanks

    Try to simply add
    total_overaward;
    as the last line in that formula.
    By the way, I don't think you need an array approach here.  You can simply use a formula that accumulates the values into a variable.

  • How do I pass a username form variable from a drop down list/menu to another page?

    Hi,
    I have a login_success.php page that has a drop down list/menu (which lists usernames). I want the user to click on their user name, and when they click the submit button the username information to be passed over to the username.php page which will contain a recordset, sorted by username.
    How do I pass the username info from the drop down list/menu to the username.php page?
    The drop down menu is connected to a recordset listUsername, I have filtered the recordset with the Form Variable = username, and I have used the POST method to send the username to the page username.php. I'm not sure how to structure the php or which page to place it on.
    <form id="form1" name="form1 method="post" action="username.php">
         <label for="username_id">choose username:</label>
         <select name="username_id" id-"username_id">
              <option value="1">username1</option>
              <option value="2">username2</option>
              <option value="3">username3</option>
              <option value="4">username4</option>
         </select>
         <input type="submit" name="send" id="send" value="Submit" />
         <input type="username" type="hidden" id="username" value="<?php echo $row_listUsername['username']; ?>" />
    </form>
    Could somebody help me please?
    Thanks.

    I would not post the variable over, In this case I personally would send it through the URL and use the $_GET method to retreve it. For Example.
    <html>
         <head>
              <title>Test Page</title>
              <script type="text/javascript">
                   function userID(){
                        //var ID = form1.userIDs.selectedIndex;
                        var user = form1.userIDs.options[form1.userIDs.selectedIndex].value;
                        window.location = "test.html?userID=" + user;
              </script>
         </head>
         <body>
              <form id="form1">
                   <select name="userIDs" id="userIDs" onchange="userID();">
                        <option>Select a User</option>
                        <option value="1">User 1</option>
                        <option value="2">User 2</option>
                        <option value="3">User 3</option>
                        <option value="4">User 4</option>
                   </select>
              </form>
         </body>
    </html>
    //PAGE TO RETRIEVE THE USERNAME
    <?php
    if(isset($_GET['userID'])
         $userID = $_GET['userID'];
         echo $userID;
         die;

  • Problem with SQL query pulling info out of a collection

    Here's my issue, I use a PL/SQL query to pull info from an XML file and put it in a collection. I then query the collection with a SQL statement to pull the info from the collection and put it into a table. I can see that the collection is being created properly, but then my SQL query is failing to pull the info out of the collection. Here's my PL/SQL query:
    declare
    l_clob clob;
    l_buffer varchar2(32767);
    l_url varchar2(4000);
    l_http_req utl_http.req;
    l_http_resp utl_http.resp;
    begin
    utl_http.set_proxy(apex_application.g_proxy_server, NULL);
    l_url := 'http://www.jobster.com/partnerfeeds/Servinity/Servinity.xml';
    l_http_req := utl_http.begin_request(l_url);
    l_http_resp := utl_http.get_response(l_http_req);
    dbms_lob.createtemporary( l_clob, FALSE );
    dbms_lob.open( l_clob, dbms_lob.lob_readwrite );
    begin
    loop
    utl_http.read_text(l_http_resp, l_buffer);
    dbms_lob.writeappend( l_clob, length(l_buffer), l_buffer );
    end loop;
    exception
    when others then
    if sqlcode <> -29266 then
    raise;
    end if;
    end;
    utl_http.end_response(l_http_resp);
    apex_collection.create_or_truncate_collection('JOB_RESPONSE');
    apex_collection.add_member(
    p_collection_name => 'JOB_RESPONSE',
    p_clob001 => l_clob );
    end;
    This part works fine because I can check the collection and see the info was put there properly. Here's the XML file (part of it at least):
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
    <job-list xmlns="http://jobster.com/feed/1.3">
    <site>
    <name>Jobster</name>
    <url>http://www.jobster.com</url>
    </site>
    <job>
    <id>58117925</id>
    <key>51253677</key>
    <featurelevel>1</featurelevel>
    <title>
    And here's the SQL query which isn't pulling anything back:
    select extractValue(value(t),'/*/name') "Name",
    extractValue(value(t),'/*/url') "URL"
    from apex_collections c,
    table(xmlsequence(extract(xmltype.createxml(c.clob001),'/job-list/site'))) t
    where c.collection_name = 'JOB_RESPONSE'
    What am I missing? Thanks in advance!

  • Got Tiger & pulled iCal info from Panther.....Help!

    When I pulled the info from my Panther backup files & put in iCal, it brought all my calendars with all the events back, but it changed the order & the colors. It doesn't seem like a big deal, but I have those colors as themes throughout other applications as well.
    I pasted in the iCal folder from Library>Application Support. How can I control which calendar is which color, etc? Thanks!

    Henry,
    Click on your selected calendar, then Click the Info button on the lower right side of the iCal Window, and the window which opens will allow you to change the color in the color window drop down menu which is located in the upper right hand corner of the Info Window.
    Just drag them to change the order.

  • How do I get the iTunes store to pull and use updated info from Gracenote?

    I'm helping a music group fix their CD information, which was incorrect in the Gracenote database. Gracenote made the corrections, but the iTunes store is not reflecting the changes. I verified the changes were made by inserting the CD on a PC, and, through the iTunes client, asking it to pull the track info from Gracenote. The info is correct.
    However, if you use the iTunes client to go to the store, the info in the store does not match what was pulled when sticking the CD in the drive and querying Gracenote. Also, if you go to the CD URL via a web browser to preview or purchase a digital download, the iTunes store web site is still showing the wrong information.
    How do I get the iTunes store (that is, Apple's server, not the iTunes client) to pull and use updated (correct) CD information from Gracenote?

    Geek Girl,
    The official Content Provider relationship with the Store depends how it was set up, and may be the group or their agent or a 3rd party such as TuneCore.  They can go back through the same official channel that put the tracks in the Store in the first place.
    Or, if it is simply an error, as opposed to an official change by the Artist, you can try the Feedback page:

    I have Automator set to:
    1. Open Safari

  • How to pull multiple lines of info from a table for a Specific Company/Address

    What I would like to do is have one Table that I enter all my information on in Numbers for incoming rent like the one below. Since I have 8 spaces to rent I will have up to 96 plus rows of information to look at. But I would like to have Numbers then on separate pages is have the individual Companies have their own rent break down on a table with the Date Recieved and the amount they payed. From there on their separate page I can have the Late Charges come into play or whatever I choose.
    Date
    Company
    Address
    Rent Recieved
    Jan 1, 2011
    X
    430
    $1,100.00
    Jan 3, 2011
    Y
    440
    $1,200.00

    $1,200.00
    The following table would be on the separate page with the formula (I do not know how to write) grabbing the info from the above table.
    Company X Rent Recieved
    Date
    Rent Recieved
    From the formula that one of you gracious smart people provide I could create a table for each of the Companies that rent from me on their own Tables on separate Tabs.
    I know I could go to each individual Tab and write it in but I will be primarily working on my iPad and this would make it easier. I can also utilize the fresh Tables to do other calculations.

    I got a soluce with no swap.
    I created a new column (E)
    In E2, the formula is :
    =B&IF(ISBLANK(A),"",MONTH(A))
    Apply Fill Down
    In table of each company, I inserted a 2nd header row so that I may store the name of the company in A1.
    In A3, the formula is :
    =IFERROR(OFFSET(Tableau 1 :: $A$1,MATCH($A$1&ROW()-2,Tableau 1 :: $E,0)-1,0),"")
    in B3, the formula is :
    =IFERROR(OFFSET(Tableau 1 :: $D$1,MATCH($A$1&ROW()-2,Tableau 1 :: $E,0)-1,0),"")
    Select A3:B3 then Fill Down.
    That's all folks !

  • Get/Set values from a drop down list

    I am trying to modify the http://www.netbeans.org/kb/60/web/web-jpa-part2.html so that instead of entering the data from a text field (in update & add) the values come from a drop down list from a table. I have drop down lists that are populated bothe from the DB and hard coding. When I run, I am able to see the options on the DDs. But none of the CRUD work. I think this is because my set and get for the drop down is wrong. Then again, I also have a few text fields from the original example which also don't seem to work. Here is a piece of my addButton():
            RowKey[] selectedRowKeys = getTableRowGroup1().getSelectedRowKeys();
            PaymentDetails[] pv = getSessionBean1().getPaymentVoucher();
            int rowId = Integer.parseInt(selectedRowKeys[0].getRowId());
            PaymentDetails upPV = pv[rowId];
            bankCodeDD.getSelected();
            statusDD.getSelected(); // hard coded value
          upPV.setPrepBy((String) prepByField.getText());
          PaymentDetailsController pvController = new PaymentDetailsController();
            pvController.addPaymentDetails(upPV);
            addRequest = false;
            return null;How do I set and get the values from the drop down so than it passed to my bean? When I choose a row to be updated, make changes and click Update, I get this message on my Tomcat:
    com.sun.webui.jsf.component.DropDown::The current value of component form1:deptCodeDD does not match any of the selections.
    Did you forget to reset the value after changing the options?Can someone please point me to a place which shows how I can add a default value from my DD? I tried to follow http://www.netbeans.org/kb/55/dropdowncomp.html, but unable to complete because I get an error for Options api. The auto-fix imported import org.apache.jasper.Options; But the package given in the tutorial is com.sun.webui.jsf.model.Option. My Java version is 1.6.0_07.
    private Options listOptions[];
    ...//getter setter goes here
    listOptions = new Option[noofDBRows + 1];Many Thanks!

    I don't guess what I may add.
    The contents of the table named lookup appear on the screenshot.
    cell A1 contains the string One-Piece, cell B1 contains the 'associated' value 160.
    cell A2 contains the string Two-Piece, cell B2 contains the 'associated' value 130.
    cell A3 contains the string Three-Quarter, cell B3 contains the 'associated' value 150.
    Now table Main
    In column B the cells contain a pop_up menu with four items like the ones described by Jerrold.
    In column C of the cells contain the formula :
    =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B,Tableau 2 :: A:B,2,FALSE),"")
    I enhanced it since yesterdays because I forgot to treat the case when cell is blank in column B.
    I apologize but as I'm using my machine in French, the screenshot display the French formulas.
    I repeat that you may find useful infos in the PDFs files which we may download from the menus:
    Help > Numbers User Guide
    Help > iWork Formulas and Functions User Guide
    As you are in Stoke-on-Trent maybe your system is set to use the comma as decimal separator.
    If it's that, you must replace the comma by semi-colons in the formulas (you may see them in my screenshot).

  • Can a site use cookie info from separate Firefox windows, or just between tabs in the same window?

    Hi!
    I apologize for how crazy my question sounds,, (& for everything that follows), but I'm at a loss as to the correct wording...I hope my explanation will clarify things, at least enough so that someone understands what I'm trying to say! Wish me luck!
    I'm using Firefox 37.0.1 on Windows 8.1 & everything is up to date. The most important details for this problem will be my settings & addons for Firefox, so here goes:
    I allow all cookies, but it's set to clear them when Firefox closes.
    I do NOT save any history or passwords & I also have "Click & Clean" enabled, & I use it frequently, even though I don't save any history or anything else, just to add to my security/privacy, (guess I didn't use it often enough, huh?)
    I have the box checked for "Do Not Track", (but I just learned the hard way that even so-called "nice" companies don't honor this request)
    I have "Ghostery" as well as "Google Analytics Opt-out" enabled, (even though I don't use Google for my search engine, nor do I go to a Google site unless it's absolutely necessary, (I read about Google's penchant for following users everywhere in order to get their preferences, so I avoid them if at all possible).
    In other words, I thought I was protected from tracking-related problems, but I need to know if these precautions are effective when using Firefox & having several tabs open...then opening another tab/window...are cookies & any other info "readable", (I don't know what word should be used here), from tab to tab in the same window, (which just happened to me), & is the cookie info readable from window to window? In other words, do I have to completely close out Firefox, delete cookies, then open a brand new window so that any session cookie info has been deleted to protect my browsing info from being accessed?
    I know, I'm STILL not making much sense...here's what happened, (I won't divulge the site that did the 'cookie abuse', though.
    I had several tabs open, as I usually do, because I was gathering info for research on a report I was working on. Suddenly, I remembered I had to order my hubby's birthday gift, so I opened another tab, (in the same window), to my favorite site & started searching for the items I wanted. I found what I was looking for & was getting ready to check out when I noticed something very odd...there were several "suggestions" listed for items I "might be interested in, based on my browsing", but the funny thing was, I didn't search for anything related to these suggested items! Instead, they were related to items in the other tabs I had open. Scary, underhanded stuff, if you ask me! I always knew not to have banking/financial sites open while surfing, but the tabs I had open were from sites where I was getting research info for my report, so no red flags went up when I went to the site to place my order.
    So I guess the question I need answered is...is cookie info accessible only between tabs in the same browser window OR is it even accessible from window to window? Did I make sense yet? I sure hope so, because this incident has me absolutely flapping around like a fish that's just been pulled out of the water & is just left on the deck! This obvious assault on my privacy has hit me like a punch in the stomach, because I thought this site was one I could trust...especially since I had "Do Not Track", "Google Analytics Opt-out" & "Ghostery" enabled!
    I just don't know how to deal with this, but obviously, I need to know the rules so this NEVER happens again. Luckily, there wasn't any finance-related breach, but my sense of trust has taken a BIG blow.
    If this made sense to anyone, please advise me on the rules of 'cookie abuse' so I don't EVER let this happen again!
    Also, is cookie info able to be shared between browsers, e.g. use Firefox for more personal/sensitive browsing & Opera for research activity?
    Any & all advice is desperately needed & gratefully accepted! I sincerely hope this doesn't happen to anyone else because it really takes the wind out of your trust bubble. I've never been as surprised & disappointed at a company as I am about this. So sad.
    Oh well, learn something new every day...too bad I learned not to trust. :(
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Nuts4Mutts :(
    P.S. If you need anything clarified, just ask

    Cookies are stored in a cookie jar and thus are shared among all open tabs and windows.
    Only all Private Browsing mode tabs/windows use a separate cookie jar that is used for all PB mode tabs.
    Note that session restore stores cookies of open tabs in the sessionstore.js file as part of stored session data.

  • ASP / PHP pages: How to get streaming info from a XML file?

    Hi all
    I am using Adobe Flash Media Streaming Server 3.5 but I can't find any output file (fx a xml file) that I can pull out info from and use on my website via a PHP or ASP script. It could be nice - in the website - to retrieve info like "online users attending", "running / streaming state" (online or offline) and other relevant info about the streaming, so I on the website can display how many that are online when a webtv event is streaming.
    I see the the info when I login at the web admin for FMS, but I need a solution that can work with ASP or PHP.
    I simply can't find any file / address to get this kind or output out of FMS - can you help?
    Thank you
    Kind regards,

  • I followed the steps to restore to factory settings now I can't get back my info from a prior backup. My pads screen was frozen on the connect to iTunes I needed to restore. I had to setup my pad as if it was new. How do I acess my prior backup

    I followed the steps to restore to factory settings now I can't get back my info from a prior backup. My pads screen was frozen on the connect to iTunes I needed to restore. I had to setup my pad as if it was new. How do I acess my prior backup

    Once again, KP is correct, but I just want to add that if you don't see the backup in the drop down menu on the summary page of iTunes when you choose the restore from backup option, then the backup is unfortunately gone. If you backup your computer, the iPad backup should probably be in that computer backup. I use Time Machine with my MacBook Pro and can access backups from months ago.
    On a side note, I also archive backups from time to time. If you right click on a backup name in iTunes>Edit>Preferences>Devices (Windows) or iTunes>Preferences>Devices (Mac) you can save that backup or archive it. It will be date and time stamped. I have no idea why I do this to the degree that I do it, but I probably have 12-14 iPad backups archived in iTunes.

    Hi There,
    As I said, running an OSX server from home. Connects using DHCP so it pulls all the host info from the ISP. I'm using DynDNS for a domain I have registered. I can access the server from internet using my domain but how do I get all the host info from the ISP out of the system and just use the domain I have setup.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Jeremiah

    The following is from this Apple document, iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ, and will help you understand how Photo Stream works:
    My Photo Stream
    When you take photos on an iOS device, or import photos from your digital camera to your computer, My Photo Stream can automatically upload your new photos to iCloud and push them to all of your other devices. 
    When do photos upload to My Photo Stream?
    How long are My Photo Stream photos stored in iCloud?
    The photos you upload to My Photo Stream are stored in iCloud for 30 days to give your devices plenty of time to connect and download them.
    How many photos are stored in My Photo Stream on my devices and computers?
    iCloud pushes all your photos to the My Photo Stream album on your devices and computers, and manages them efficiently, so you don’t run out of storage space.
    Your iOS devices keep a rolling collection of your last 1000 photos in the My Photo Stream album. From there, you can browse your recent photos or move the ones you like to your Camera Roll or another album to keep them on your device forever.
    Since your Mac and PC have more storage than your iOS devices, you can choose to have all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically downloaded. In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, be sure to select Photo Stream > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will be imported into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture. On your PC with Photo Stream enabled in the Control Panel, all of your photos will be imported into C:\Users\<user name>\Pictures\Photo Stream\My Photo Stream.

  • How to pull data from Active Directory in ABAP (non-CUA approach)?

    All,
    We have a requirement to pull information from AD into a WAS 6.20 system.
    I know there is the standard CUA/UME LDAP synchronization discussed at length in this forum but this in not what we are looking for. We would like to connect from an ABAP program (BAPI/RFC) to AD and pull a specific field  and store it in a custom table.
    I found one thread that describes how to do this with WebDynpro in Java, but this would be our last resort since we wouldn't be able to do that from the actual 6.20 WAS but would have to use another 2004s system which would extend the architecture of the current design.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks
    GS

    Hi,
    1. First configure the LDAP properties in transaction LDAP
    2.You can use the functions LDAP_SYSTEMBIND and LDAP_SEARCH to retrieve the info you want
    you can read <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/906061c5-176b-2910-5091-e23baa4e7038">this document</a> for more help

  • How do I pull information from a master table to another table?

    This may be quite simple, but I'm missing something.  I want to pull information from my master table into a secondary table.  In the Master Table in Column A, I have a list of teams ("Team 1" through "Team 12"), then in Columns B through D I have information for each assignment given to each team.  I want to have a secondary table for each team that lists all of their assignments.  So, this is what I want:   if Column A says 'Team 1', then I want the secondary table to have the info from Columns B through D.
    Again, I'm sure it's simple, but I just can't figure it out.
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi Mark,
    1)  But does this work if in the Master Table (which will be over 300 rows long) each team will show up 10-15 times over the course of the 300 rows randomly (hence the need to have sub-tables for each team...so it's easier for them to see what their tasks are).
    Your fellow Numbers enthusiasts in this forum will need more information to help you with that. You are on the right track though with the idea of many tables. Therein lies the power of Numbers.
    2)  I'm a bit confused by the formula.  With the "$A2" do I select the first column in the Master Table?  And can you break down the second part of the formula?  The "$A$2:$D$4,2,0"  Why would you have A2 and D4 in the same formula?  They are not in the same row.  And what's the 2,0 at the end?
    Breaking this question down:
    With the "$A2" do I select the first column in the Master Table? 
    No. The $ keeps the reference to Column A absolute (it won't change to B then C as you Fill Right in the Team Task Table.
    And can you break down the second part of the formula?  The "$A$2:$D$4,2,0"  Why would you have A2 and D4 in the same formula?  They are not in the same row.
    $A$2:$D$4 is the range of cells (a rectangle) where VLOOKUP will search (in my example) but not in your 300 row table!
    And what's the 2,0 at the end?
    The syntax of VLOOKUP is VLOOKUP(search-for, columns-range, return-column, close-match)
    The 2,0 at the end means "return column" is 2 (the second column of the range) and 0 means "Exact Match" - it won't find a close match. After Fill Right you will need to edit the formula in each Column to change "return column" to 3, then 4, then ...
    With a table selected, click on the Function Button in the Toolbar and choose Function Browser. I find that much more useful than the Help Menu. However (there is always a however in life) the Help Menu will show Numbers User Guide, and Formulas and Functions Help. Download them and read at your leisure. The first four chapters of the User Guide are well worth a read. Use other chapters as a reference when you need them.
