Set default to date in Application Express?

Hi;
Is there a way to do the following in Application Express?
create table t (
col1 number,
col2 date default cast(systimestamp at time zone 'UTC' as date))
ie, via the UI set a default TIMESTAMP to the system time? I have not been able to find a way to set the default for an existing column in the IDE anywhere.
thanks - dave

I can do a trigger, it's just that the setting it as
the default is cleaner IMO. And it can be done with a
script, I was just trying to see if it could be done
in Application Express.
What is "default setup with table"?
thanks - daveWhen I am in TOAD, building a table, I can add a default clause, that will assign a default value to the column, if I do not present one when I insert data into the data row..
See the attached article link for more info:

Thank you,

How can you SELECT via Database Link CLOB data using Application Express?

Customer Issue:
Developer using Oracle's Application Express 3.1. The Developer is trying to SELECT a CLOB datatype column from a remote (10.2.0.3) database, via a database link on her 10.2.0.4 based client Application. The Developer wants to be able to select CLOB data from the remote database which has limitation that she can't make any changes to the remote database.
Developer's Comments:
I do a select and get the error. Getting error ORA-22992: cannot use LOB locators selected from remote tables. So she feels she can't use dbms_lob.substr in this configuration I can do a "select into" but that is for one value. I am trying to run a select statement for a report that brings back more than one row. I do not have permission to change anything on the remote database. I want to access the remote database and multiple tables.
This is not something I work with, would greatly appreciate help or ideas. Is this a limitation of the 3.1; or does she just not have this set up correctly; or should she be using a Collection (if yes, please share example)
Thanks very much,
Pam

Hello???
Would really appreciate an answer.
Thanks,

This may not be a perfect solution for you but it worked for my situation.
I wanted to grab some data from Grid Control's MGMT$JOB_STEP_HISTORY table but I couldnt' create an Interactive Report due to the existance of a CLOB column. I cheated this by creating a view on the GC DB, grabbing the first 4000 characters and turning it into a varchar2 column:
create view test_job_step_history as
select job_Name, target_name, status, start_time, end_time, to_char(substr(output,1,4000)) output
from MGMT$JOB_STEP_HISTORY where trunc(end_time) > trunc(sysdate)-90
In an APEX Interactive Report:
select * from test_job_step_history@GCDB
Granted, the output looks aweful right now but I am only looking for a very particular output (failed, denied, ORA-, RMAN-, etc) so the formatting isn't the most important thing to me right now.
If anyone can improve -- and I'm sure you can -- on this I'd love to hear about it.
Thanks,
Rich

SSRS Cascading Parameter Setting Default Value of Parameter by Expression

Hi All,
I need some help on an issue I am running into in SQL server 2008 report parameters. I have the following Report Parameters defined:
1) @PredefinedDateSelection - Boolean (User Selectable True/False, Default Value - 'False')
2) @StartDate - Text (User input text box)
If @PredefinedDateSelection = TRUE, then I would like to provide a particular default value to the StartDate textbox (i.e. @StartDate Default Value), If @PredefinedDateSelection = FALSE, then I would like to provide a different default value.
I have the following code for the Expression for the Default value of @StartDate: =code.GetStartDate(Parameters!PreDefinedTimeSelection.Value)
where GetStartDate is a very simple VB function defined as :
Public Function GetStartDate(x as boolean ) As String
Dim a as string
Dim b as string
a = "Report Uses Predefined Values"
b = "Please Input Value"
If (x) then
Return a
else
Return b
end if
end function.
Now the default value of @StartDate stays set as "Please Input Value", and does not change when I toggle @PredefinedDateSelection from False to True and vice versa. I was expecting to see the Default value to change between the two messages depending on my selection in the report preview.
Another parameter which is a dropdown and uses a dataset to display two different set of selectable items depending on the value of @PredefinedDateSelection is working just fine. I am not sure if I am missing something or I am doing something wrong.
Instead of using the VB code I also tried : =iif(Parameters!PreDefinedTimeSelection.Value = True,"Report Uses Predefined Values","Please Input Value")
I also tried changing the default value using a dataset with SQL query and the available value set to NONE, so that the user could input. But the Default value does not refresh or change values.
I hope I have explained my question clearly. I would really appreciate any thoughts and comments.
Thanks,
Arunesh

Thank you much for your response.
I tried that and it did work. But my requirement is to have a user input the date. The basic idea is if the user decides on a predefined time range like Day Shift Today or Yesterday and so on... then the report would automatically calculate the values based on predefined date time values. On the other hand, if the intent is to run the report for an arbitrary period then the user supplies the date and time limits.
What I am trying to achieve is have the same parameter available for user input , but when the User decides he wants Predefined then the "textbox" populates with date and time as per his choice of predefind range.
I understand that by this the user can still overwrite the date and time on the text box, but the report will run the predefined values as long as he has the @PredefinedDateSelection Set to true.
Is there a way I can impement this?
Once again I thank you and appreciate your input.

Setting/changing a date in application.cfm

I need to be able to set a date in the application.cfm file
for example
<CFSET APPLICATION.stopdate='10/15/2014'>
Then in my site on other pages I have code that says
<cfif reportdate GT #APPLICATION.stopdate#>Do This</cfif>
The problem is sometimes I need to change the APPLICATION.stopdate to another date during the middle of the day.
For example I need to change the APPLICATION.stopdate from 10/15/2014 to 10/25/2014
However I notice when I change the APPLICATION.stopdate in the application.cfm to another date during the middle of the day that the APPLICATION.stopdate stays the old date.
How do I make sure that the APPLICATION.stopdate changes sitewide when I change it in the application.cfm?
Do I use another variable scope?

Yes, that's one use of the include directive, lets you add content inline. You missed an "@" there though. It's <%@ include...
EDIT: One word of warning; it is not mandatory for the container to recompile the including JSPs if the included resource is changed! It seems you have a smart container which detected that your included JSP had been modified and so it's reflecting the changes in the other files too. But this is not required behaviour and so you shouldn't count on it. AFAIK, Tomcat will also do the same.
Also, this is a good reason why, even though it seems like a good idea to put the DB URL into one JSP and include it everywhere so that you have only one entry to change when the DB changes, it's still risky. A better way would be to put it as a <context-param> or something similar.

Setting default opening date for iCal calendar to be some future date?

Is it possible to set the default date at which an iCal calendar opens to be some specified future date?
I want to enter multiple events for a week-long program that begins on November 1, 2008, into a special iCal calendar for that program, as the dates and times for those events become known between now and then. So, each time I click on that calendar's icon, I'd like to have it open at 1 Nov 08, instead of having to step forward to that date each time I re-open the calendar.
Any way to do this?

christ. no answer to this?
i just did this on a trip to boston and i /thought/ i had it fixed when i went to paris recently.
perhaps getting a new motherboard on my MBP means i have to set my settings again to get this to work? does anyone know if this only works by setting a /combination/ of settings on iCloud and in iCal preferences...?

How do I set default start date for email flags

In IOS 4 and 5 every time i put a flag on an email it used "today's date" as the default date for the flag when the flag synched with Outlook. Under IOS6, my email flags show up in Outlook with "no date". Is this an IOS 6 change or did I somehow change the default to "no date" by mistake on my iphone. This is importatnt becasue Outlook allows you to arrange you inbox by Flag Start Date. When you arrange it this way, all the flagged emails move to the top by date. You can then remove all the non-flagged emails as a group.

Yes. On my new iPhone 5 the iCal week begins on a Monday not a Sunday and does not give me the option to edit in settings on the phone

Display date and Time in Oracle Application Express Page

Hi
I have a requirement of showing the date and time in the top left corner of the page which should be updated at all times . The format is DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS.
I am able to display the date but not the time . Also the time should be updating on its own to the last second.
Another requirement is that on selecting a particular value from the drop down the table values displayed should be filtered
Thanks in advance for helping me out
you can also send in the responses to [email protected]
Regards
Jude Franco

Hello,
I am able to display the date but not the time Probably due to your NLS settings not displaying the time component for dates. However you can manually specify the output format like this -
jes@DBTEST> select to_char(sysdate, 'HH24:MI:SS DD-MON-YYYY') as TS from dual;
TS
10:47:45 10-DEC-2008
Another requirement is that on selecting a particular value from the drop down the table values displayed should be filtered Really need more details on that (remember assume that we know nothing about your requirements other than what you tell us). However at a high-level you need to include the drop down value in the query predicate used for your report, for example -
select
e.ename,
e.sal
from
emp e
where
e.deptno = NVL(:P1_DEPTNO, e.deptno)Would use the value from the P1_DEPTNO select list (presumably displaying department names) and use it to filter the result. The NVL is there so that if no dept is selected then the query by default shows all the records.
Hope this helps,
John.

Setting default date @prompt

I have a @prompt filter like this:
Table.Datecolumn >= @Prompt('Start Date ','D',,mono,free) and
Table.Datecolumn <= @Prompt('End date','D',,mono,free)
I like to set the start date defaulted to '07/01/2009'..so that user need not enter any start date as it is already shown in the prompt display.
Any help?

Hi,
Try to modify your filter expression like this:
Table.Datecolumn >= @Prompt('Start Date ','D',,mono,free,,{'2009/07/01'}) and
Table.Datecolumn <= @Prompt('End date','D',,mono,free,,{'2009/07/01'})
Be careful taht the default value syntax matches the database date format.
This syntax works only for BOE XI 3.1 and upper versions.

Set the default pathname for the application server

Dear Guru,
I have encountered an issue in CG3Z and CG3Y
I am not able to set the default pathname for the application server
can any one give some guideline how to set the default pathname for the application server.
Thanks and regards
Saifur Rahaman

Hi Saifur,
There is no such option in CG3Z or CG3Y. If you still want to do it you will have to customize it by copying the program RC1TCG3Z & RC1TCG3Y to Z & the Function Modules C13Z_FRONT_END_TO_APPL & C13Z_APPL_TO_FRONT_END to Z & also the program LC13ZF01 to Z which runs both of these transactions.
And finally the data declaration in the program LC13ZF01 as :-
DATA: L_FILE_NAME_FTAPPL LIKE RCGFILETR-FTAPPL value 'you default pathname'
DATA: L_FILE_NAME_FTFRONT LIKE RCGFILETR-FTFRONT value 'you default pathname'.

Is it possible to set a default column name to an expression when creating a table?
For example, I wish to set the default value of a column to read from another table's column and do some arithmetic....is this possible?

Yes, you can, with trigger Before Insert for Each row
But be carefull, you can hit the mutating table problem...

How to set the default display date of Calender prompt of SMPortal???

Good Day!!
As for as my knowledge, the default date Visible in all Calender prompt will be the
Starting Date in the Specified date range either "RelativeDateRange" or "AbosoluteDateRange".
But we have a requirement to set the default date to a date in the middle of the specified range, I don't find any option to specify in Request Offering Wizard or MP's xml file.
Our scenario is as follows,
    We are trying to customize the CSPP's request offer "Request Virtual Machine", which has a user promt to select Decommission Date for the New VM. We have configured the date prompt as Relative Date range and set the
Start date as "1 day next to user's current time" and Maximum date to "90 days after relative date". So the user will get option to select Decomm date from (1-90) days with the defalut date as 1st day next to his current
time. But our requirement is to set the default available date as 90th date in the above mentioned Relative Date Range.
     I couldn't find any option in Request offering Wizard as attached below,
      Also I couldn't even find any tag to specify the default display date in the MP's XML file as attached below. Is there any other <tag> can be included inside <Details> tag to accomplish this ??
   Is there any other way to accomplish this???
    Please advise
Thanks,
Narayanababu

This is probably a link editor parameter, see the linker and loader guide.
Another thing you can do is write your own sbrk() that will log whenever it's called, so you can at least see how many times it's called and with what values. If you really need in-depth instrumentation, write your own heap routines and give them the same names as the CRTL routines. The linker should find yours first and route all memory operations through them. At least, that's the way it worked for me on SunOS 4.1....
