Restore just one table into new instance

Hello
We need to know the content of a table 10 days ago. To not affect the database (80GB) itself, our idea was
a) to setup an auxiliary instance
b) to restore/recover the instance into the aux
c) voilà: table can be accessed.
Is there maybe a more simpler (and not that space consuming) way via
a) transportable tablespace
b) "transportable table"
c) table restore into aux
d) ???
btw: RMAN settings are fine, Backup is on tape, restore/recover is possible... :-)
Thanks for your suggestions Casi

It would be easier to answer such questions,if you wouldn't hide your database version. Because of 'Transportable Tablespaces' it seems to be higher than Oracle 6.
TSPITR (Tablespace Point-in-Time Recovery) seems to be the most appropriate way, it uses transportable tablespaces in the background. No need to restore a whole database in such a case.

Can I restore just One Application through time machine? (vs. Migration)

Hi. I've reformatted my Mac
Instead of Migration Assistant
I want to restore just ONE application (Microsoft Office)
1. I've plugged in my Time Machine
2. Time Machine is Not Configured
3. I Browse Other Time Machine Disks
4. I Use Selected Disk
5. I go to my latest Restore pane
6. I click around until I find the Application Folder
7. I click on Microsoft Office, and I press Restore
Am I doing it correctly? Or am I simply just Drag and Dropping into my Application Folder on my newly reformatted Mac?
Thanks in advance.

That's probably not going to work. When you installed Office, it almost certainly installed other files in other places, and perhaps some "helper" apps, in addition to the main app. Unless you know what and where all those things are, and restore them, too, it's not likely to work well, if at all.
See [Transferring Applications|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/TransferApps.html] for details.
Your best bet is to reinstall it from the original disc.

Inserting data from one table into another table using PL/SQL

HI,
I am trying to insert values from one table into another using PL procedure, the values I want to retrieve from the table riverside1 are charac_id and charac_type and insert these values into another table called riverside2 , the stored procedure zorgs_gorfs(x,y) accepts two parameters which are 2 charac_id's of d characters in riverside1 then using insert statements inserts these characters from riverside1 into riverside2.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE zorgs_gorfs(x IN NUMBER, y IN NUMBER) AS
     BEGIN
          INSERT INTO riverside2
               (charac_id)
          VALUES
               (x);
INSERT INTO riverside2
               (charac_id)
          VALUES
               (y);
      END zorgs_gorfs;
/This works but the problem im having is that when I also try to insert the charac_type as well as the charac_id it doesnt work below is the code:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE zorgs_gorfs(x IN NUMBER, y IN NUMBER) AS
     BEGIN
          INSERT INTO riverside2
               (charac_id,charac_tye)
          VALUES
               (Select
                    charac_id,
                    charc_type
               FROM
                    riverside1
               WHERE
                    charac_id = x);
      END zorgs_gorfs;
/can someone kindly sort me out

modify this sql
INSERT INTO riverside2
               (charac_id,charac_tye)
          VALUES
               (Select

                    riverside1
               WHERE
                    charac_id = x);as
INSERT INTO riverside2
               (charac_id,charac_tye)
          VALUES
               (Select
                    charac_id,

                    riverside1
               WHERE
                    charac_id in ( x,y));But my suggestion would be consider revising your approach. It does not look that good.
Thanks,

How can I restore just one application from Time Machine?

Hello, I have just one application that is really acting quirky and won't load correctly anymore and I would like to restore that application from Time Machine but am just not sure how to do that. Can someone please walk me through step by step on how to restore just one application. Thank you. Jean
Message was edited by: anokienurse

Before you restore an application from a Time Machine backup it would be wiser to remove the current installed copy then reinstall from the application's original distribution medium - download, CD/DVD, etc. The reason for this is that Time Machine backs up every hour. By now the bad version of this application is now backed up to your Time Machine backup drive. Restoring from the backup won't resolve your problem.
First, uninstall the old program. If the program came with an uninstaller then use it. If not then start by deleting the application from the Applications folder. Then locate all the support files associated with the application and remove them, too. Look for these in:
/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences
/Users/yourusername/Library/Applications Support
Applications may come with a separate uninstaller program that could also be in your Applications folder. Some applications may install other files in other locations on your computer. If you tell us what the application is we may be able to provide additional help.

Import for just one table fails....

Hi,
On production server i have declared a db user , let's call him PRD_USER, with default tablespace PRD_TBL.
On development server i have declared a db user , let's call him PRD_USER, with default tablespace DEV_TBL.
On production server, i use the exp db utility in order to do the import as:
imp system/manager from user=PRD_USER touser=PRD_USER ignore=Y file_name ='....' log='....'.
The import succeeds for about 25 tables and indexes and constraints but it fails for just one table with error : {i do not remember the ORA- error, and i have not access to it right now} tablespace DEV_TBL does not exist.
Of course this tablespace does not exist on production env. but how does this problem arise since the default tablespace for this user is not DEV_TBL but PRD_TBL...????
Do you have the slightest idea what may be the cause and how can i overcome this problem during import...???{Note: I gave a temporary solution... taking the sql creation script of the table leaving out the reference of tablespace 'DEV_TBL'}.
Both servers run exactly the same version of DB..
Note : I use DB 10g v.2
Thank you,
Sim

HI,
"If the table has Partitions, the import is attempting to create the Partitions (in the CREATE TABLE statement) on the original tablespace."
The table is not partitioned.....
I'll check for the second characteristic...(LOB-column on Monday)
Thank you,

Trap The Duplicate Logging On FMS, LoggOff Old One And Accept New Instance.

Hi All,
I need help on the following topic of FMS 2.0.
On FMS Server I want to trap the duplicate logging, Logoff
Old One and accept New Instance.
The scenario is like this, if a user logged in with the name
wins” on FMS Application from his Office, after some
time he came to his home and want to logging again.
I want to disconnect or logoff the instance of application
which is logged in from his Office and allow him to logging from
his home.
Actually I want to implement the functionality like
Yahoo messenger.
Yahoo messenger gives the facility to login from another
system and logoff the previous instance.
So, tell me what I have to do to achieve this.
Thanks

onAppStart intitialize an object to hold all connected
clients, maybe called userList:
application.onAppStart = function(){
this.userList = {};
Then when someone logs in, they of course pass in their
username. Simply put that client in userList by its username.
application.onConnect = function(newClient, username){
this.acceptConnection(newClient);
this.userList[username] = newClient;
Then you can easily modify that code to boot the old client
if that username is already in use:
application.onConnect = function(newClient, username){
if(this.userList[username]){
this.disconnect(this.userList[username]);
this.acceptConnection(newClient);
this.userList[username] = newClient;
See if that works for ya.

How to restore *just one iTunes playlist* from Time Machine?

Hi all --
I'm pretty picky about my iTunes playlists. There are several main ones ("Jazz Lite," "R&B," "Jazz Traditional," etc. etc.) and these playlists can overlap in their coverage/share certain songs.
So last Sunday I realized that I had fat-fingered things and had accidentally deleted the R&B playlist.
If possible I'd like to surgically restore *just that R&B playlist* from Time Machine and include it among all of the other existing playlists.
Although I've searched around on the internet for an answer, everything that has turned up so far seems to involve:
- restoring ALL playlists from Time Machine
- older version of iTunes (I'm currently using 11.0.3)
Your help greatly appreciated!

For posterity's sake, since i had this issue too, i thought i'd post my solution.
Locate and save a copy, locally on your computer, of a library.itl file that would contain the playlist you need. I'd suggest saving to your desktop. name it so you'll recognize it as the old library file.
Quit iTunes if open, and relaunch, holding down the Option key immediately after
when prompted, select "Choose Library"
Find the file you saved in step 1. this will launch iTunes with all the old playlists and such. Don't worry, it doesn't touch the actual songs themselves, so nothing is lost of from your current library.
Find the playlist(s) you want, right click on them and export. save them as .txt file (again, suggest desktop for ease)
Once all playlists you want to restore are saved, quit iTunes.
Launch iTunes, again pressing Option immediately after
Select "Choose Library" and select the Music -> iTunes -> iTunes Library.itl file. This will restore iTunes to the most current copy of your library
Select File -> Library -> Import Playlist and find the .txt file for your playlist on your desktop. et voila!

Copy records of one table into another using Update statement

Supposing I have 2 tables test and test1.
Test has columns col1 and col2. and test1 has only one table col1.
select * from test returns:
COL1 COL2
a
b
c
d
e
select * from test1 returns
COL1
p
q
r
s
t
Suppose i want to copy values of test1.col1 to test.col2 so tht final result of
select * from test should be
COL1 COL2
a p
b q
c r
d s
e t
I found a query in the OCP introduction book:
update test set col2=(select col1 from test11)
this works fine only when we have a single record in test1 table but fails otherwise.
how can this be achieved using the update statement ?

This will work only if you have the same number of lines in COL1 in both tables. If you have different number of lines, then you need to code more at join (outer, inner).
But for complicated cases, please post sample data.
Michael
PS: And supossing that the values are distinct in TEST table. Else update will fail, because more rows will be retrived.
If more values in TEST table in COL1, then you need to assign a row number on TEST also, and in WHERE of query you need to place one more join condition:
something like:
8* ) z where z.col1 = test.col1
and z.rn = test.rn)
SQL> /
But as i said, get more specifications.

HT1766 How restore just one app data?

Can one restore just the backup data for a single app? If not, how is this usually handled, say if there is some crash in the app?

I guess the easiest way to explain it is that whatever data or files were in that app on that day that you created the backup will be restored fully and will look exactly like they did on that day.
Lets say you are using a Word Processor app for example. You make changes to say several files on a certain day. You create a backup that night. The next day you made changes to all those files again. You don't backup this time. Something goes bad the next day, and you need to restore from the backup. When you restore from that backup, those files will be exactly as they were on the day that you last backed up.
The only thing is - every file in every app on the iPad is also restored to the way it looked in that last backup. If you have spreadsheet files that you had worked on and revised on the day that you backed up - made changes the next day - that day that you did not backup - when you restore from the backup - those files revert to the way they were on the day that you backed up. The entire iPad will "look like" it did on the day that you backed up the last time.
This talks about iOS backups
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
This explains how to create a manual backup.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Most of the time - iTunes will create a backup when you sync. It will overwrite the previous backup when it does. I like to be proactive and create my own backups after I sync, just in case.
Finally - You have to make the choice to restore from the backup and have to initiate it on your own. The link that I provided above explains how to so it, whether you use iTunes or iCloud for your backups.

HT1766 How do I restore just one app and its data to a new device without overwriting what is already on the device?

I have an iphone and a New ipad. When I set up my ipad, I had already had my iphone backed up on iCloud. I didn't however, use the backup to set up the iPad, so some of the apps don't have the same data on both devices. This is mostly fine with me. I was able to sync my games so that I can play the games on both devices and not lose any data or progress in the game. There is only one game that I haven't been able to get onto the ipad with the progress that I have made, even though it's been backed up on the iCloud. Now both devices are being backed up on the iCloud. Some information is shared between them, some not. I have no idea why it's arbitrary which info is shared. But I would like to get the one game (and perhaps a few other apps) to sync between the devices. Is there a way to do this by targeting specific apps and their respective data?

The game that we are playing is called Swordigo ... A Zelda type game just FYI. When I installed the app I went into the Settings>Swordigo>sync saves to iCloud>On. That set it up to sync up to three different saves in iCloud because that is what this game offers.
Then my daughter downloaded the app to her iPad ( the original one that I gave her when I upgraded to the new one). We share an Apple ID for purchases.
When either of us launches the game on our iPads - the option to start from either save is already available in the game. The game supports this. Not all games will support it but you make it sound like your game does sync saves to iCloud.
There is a difference between saving data to iCloud and syncing game saves. The beauty of the syncing of saves is that I could download this game to my iPod touch as well and still pick up my "saved" game from iCloud,

Can you restore just one app?

Could not sync backup after updating to 4.2. decided to set up as new iPad. Really only two apps that had data I would like to recover. Is there a way to recover data from a single app at a time rather than try the complete restore process that hangs about a third of the way.

Unfortunately, there is no way to save the data for individual apps unless those apps use iOS file sharing and you can transfer the files to your computer or send the files/documents using DropBox.
There simply is no practical way to troubleshoot this without just adding one app at a a time to the iPad until the problem creeps up again. That entails deleteing all of the apps and starting over again.

How to restore my iPhone apps into new iTunes library ??

Automatic copying row from one table into another one

Hi,
I am looking for some help on how to do the following:
I use Number to track my finances. I have two tables - one for my checking account and the other one for my cash account. When I withdraw cash from my checking account I record a transfer or debit transaction in my checking account table (in the type column of this table I enter "transfer" and in the category column of this table I enter "cash account"); Obviously I have to record a matching transaction in my cash account where the category column shall read "checking account". Both records represent one and the same transaction. In order not to enter this transaction twice I would like to "automate" this process so that once I enter the transaction in either of the two table (checking or cash) the matching entry automatically appears in the other table. Is there any way to do this.
Thank you,
Evgeny

You can use Connection#getMetaData() to retrieve information about the tables and the columns of the table.
After all, it is better to gain information about the table first and then issue a query in the form of "INSERT INTO table1 SELECT * FROM table2", including the eventual column selections and/or data conversions at SQL level.
