SQLPLUS 9.2 on Windows and the "&" character

Running Windows XP SP@ and SQLPlus 9.2
using the Insert statement and text with "&" within single quotes within the Insert Statement
The insert pauses and asks for input from the screen and removes the "&" character and the text after it.
I tried escape: "\&" with no lock..
How can I insert the "&" character within a text field delimited by single quotes?
Thanks

Type SET DEFINE OFF in your SQL*Plus session before executing the insert statement.
chris@XE> SHOW DEFINE
define "&" (hex 26)
chris@XE> SET DEFINE OFF
chris@XE> SHOW DEFINE
define OFF

  • I am trying to open PDF files from safari, but when I click on them they open in a separate window and the information is encrypted. Any ideas on how to get them to open them in Adobe? Any help please!

    The pdf is loading as html code. If you save it, it will download as :
    605124.pdf.html
    Change the extension to .pdf
    And it opens and works perfectly, I just tested it:

  • How do I get all the control buttons in one place in 3.6.16, like they used to be in previous versions? Having the refresh and stop buttons between address and search windows, and the home button to the far right is awful.

    In 3.6.16, the buttons are all over the place. In previous versions, the forward, back, refresh, stop and home buttons were all together. In this version, the refresh and stop buttons are between the address and search windows, and the home button to the far right.
    I would love to have them all together as they used to be - much more user friendly that way. I have tried installing alternate themes, but the coding of this version over-rides the themes.

    Firefox 4.0 has a combined Reload and Stop and Go button that appears at the right end of the location bar.
    To restore the Firefox 3 appearance you can use these steps:
    * Open the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window to move the Stop and Reload button out of the location bar.
    * Move the Reload and Stop buttons to their previous position at the left side of the location bar.
    * Set the order to "Reload - Stop" to get a combined "Reload/Stop" button.
    * Set the order to "Stop - Reload" or separate them otherwise to get two distinct buttons.

  • Why are some jpg images scrambled when they appear in my screen saver?   The same images look fine in Preview and Finder.  Some images appear scrambled in the screen saver 'preview' window and the actual screen saver. Other jpg images look fine.

    Why are some jpg images scrambled when they appear in my screen saver?   The same images look fine in Preview and Finder.  Some images appear scrambled in the screen saver 'preview' window and the actual screen saver. Other jpg images look fine.

    The desktop image is fine, taken from the exact same pool of jpg photos.  However, as soon as the slide show screen saver comes on, the images are scrambled.  What is it about the apple screen saver algorithm that scrambles the pics?

  • Can I view the browser window and the effects window at the same time?

    I just got a second monitor to complement my 24" iMac, and would like to take advantage of it by having the effects window and the browser window with all my clips open at the same time. Anyone know if this is possible?

    I think you just need to grab the Effects tab and drag it out of the Browser onto your extra monitor (though I could be wrong).

  • In Logic X, the mouse click wheel scroll is way too fast on the arrange window and the piano roll.  Is there a way to adjust this?

    In Logic X, the mouse click wheel scroll is way too fast on the arrange window and the piano roll.  Is there a way to adjust this?  This is the way I scrolled for MIDI editing on Logic 9

    Hi cris2121, assuming you're using a mouse from apple, go to >System Preferences<
    it's here where one can configure a mouse device.
    Additionally you can also configure Scrubbing in Logic: "When in scrub mode, you can slowly move the playhead in the Tracks Window and the Audio (and optional MIDI) will be played back. The playback speed depends on how fast you move the Playhead in either direction."

  • Hide outgoing email window and the "sending message" info box

    Is it possible to hide outgoing email window and the "sending message" info box automatically after we hit send?

    not reliably.

  • Whenever I do a "lookup" from other software, or click on a hyperlink from outside the browser, the browser appears but the URL is not in the address window and the link never loads.why?

    I may be reading an article while within Foxfire, and click on a hyperlink in the article...or I may be using Thunderbird email and click on a hyperlink within the email...or I may be using software like Quicken and do a "lookup" to a webpage...no matter, any time I click on the hyperlink, it will switch to Firefox automatically (good!) and the tab shows "loading", but a webpage never loads, and the URL address window never has anything in it. On the other hand, if I copy and paste the URL from whatever hyperlink I'm trying to use, and then paste that into Firefox's URL address window, it will open. How did I lose the auto load feature?

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Opening the Canvas window and the Timeline from the browser

    I am on an Intel 2x2.66 Dual Core using OS 10.4.11 and working in FCP 6.04.
    I know this is a stupid question but having been a composer all my life, I am not up to speed on FCP and I seem to be unable to find the answer in my manual.
    I dragged a QuickTime movie to the browser window. It is 500x375 in dimension and uses a H.264, AAC codecs. (info I got from the Get Info window).
    The video shows up and plays in the Viewer window but I cannot get the Canvas window nor the Timeline to open.
    I have tried selecting the sequence from the list in the browser and then control clicking it and looking at the shortcut menu there. The manual says I should choose Open Timeline from this shortcut menu but that is not even a choice I have. I don't mean it is grayed out, I mean there is no Open Timeline choice on the menu.
    As an alternate, the manual suggests selecting the sequence and then choosing View > Sequence in Editor. I tried this also. There is no Sequence in Editor choice under the View menu. There is a Clip in Editor choice but when I select that it simply opens the movie in Quicktime.
    I am aware that I am probably forgetting something simple or doing something stupid but I cannot figure it out. Help would be much appreciated.
    Thomas

    the simple fact that is being eluded to here is that without an active sequence in the project (shown in the browser) there is no canvas or timeline. If you delete your sequence from the browser, the timeline and canvas will disappear, and you will have to create a new sequence, then open that sequence by double clicking it, to get those windows back. Canvas and Timeline display sequence content. No sequence, no c/t.

  • Filenames and the £ character

    hello,
    is the £ symbol supported in filenames on the command line? if not, how are files with £ characters in the name dealt with, or by what name are they given?
    i have a zip file containing a file whose file name contains a £ character, and i am unable to extract this file (using unzip on the command line)
    on other unix based systems the file can be extracted and the £ is usually replaced by a ? or something.
    nb - i'm not after a way to extract the file, i am trying to find out why the system won't let me extract it
    cheers
    jon

    Hi Jon,
       This is an ill-posed question. What character set does the filename use? In what encoding is that character set encoded? The default HFS character set is unicode in canonical, decomposed form and the encoding is UTF-8. What was it on the system from which the file was copied? You can read about "canonical, decomposed form" in the Apple reference, Technote 1150: HFS Plus Volume Format: Unicode Subtleties.
       With what utility are you trying to read that filename? What shell are you using? What terminal are you using? Support for unicode, particularly in "canonical, decomposed form," varies considerably between utilities and even between different versions of each. A precise explanation would require all of this background information, would require considerable analysis on the part of a rather knowledgeable individual and would require a fair amount of typing to treat thoroughly. So unless you have lots of time and find someone capable, you'll have to settle for, "sometimes it works and sometimes it don't." For what it's worth, there are errors in the display more often than there are errors in the way the utilities actually function. I've seen utilities work perfectly when the command output looked like garbage.
       In this case, use an asterisk instead of a question mark and if every other character matches the filename, the command should work as expected. Use an "mv" command to rename the file.

  • ER?: JSPX popup dialogs/windows and the JDev IDE

    Hi JDev team
    One thing I'm starting to find tedious in the JDev 11gTP4 IDE is when I have a JSPX page with a <af:popup> dialog/window, and I want to work with the popup rather than the rest of the page (say to drag n drop something into the popup in the editor window), I need to either search through the JSPX source code, or click down many levels in the structure window until I find the actual popup (....which if I then click on the popup node in the structure window, the editor window will display in the editor window).
    Possibly I could do a search through the code searching for "popup", but if I have several popups this can also take sometime as I need to search 1 by 1.
    As such, is there a shortcut I'm not aware of for navigating popups in a JSPX page, or alternatively could we raise an ER such that the Structure Window or similar shows an easily accessible, clickable list of popups and their ids available in the JSPX page please?
    Cheers,
    CM.

    In addition to editing popups, Visual Editor also provides ways to edit ADF components which are clipped (ie., not fully visible in VE). Select the component which is clipped and select 'Design This Container' from the contextual action menu (small drop down menu on the top-right corner of the component). Visual Editor will show the component (and its hierarchy) in the visual editor.

  • Multiple oracle homes on Windows and the "Path" environment variable

    Hi There,
    We have a windows 2003 database server that has few databases running oracle 10.2.0.3. We are installing oracle 11.2.0.1 on the box as well, and we were wondering, which binaries should come 1st in the path environment variable? and how does this effect the working oracle environment?
    Going to the oracle home selector and swapping the 2 oracle homes around will have the same effect on the windows path variable - which will treat the 1st oracle home to be the default home - are there any general rules reg. multiple oracle homes on a server and the default home?
    Should the earlier version of oracle always proceed the newer one (i.e. c:\oracle\product\10.2.0.3\bin;c:\oracle\product\11.2.0.1\bin) or should the newer oracle version comes 1st as newer oracle versions are usually backward compatible?
    Your thoughts are highly appreciated.
    Thanks

    That isn't going to happen.
    If you install 11.2 last it will appear in the PATH variable first
    If you don't want that you need to Oracle Home Selector utility in the Installer to change it.
    Obviously, as usual, all of this is documented.

  • Special Characters and the Character Palate

    I am trying to type a composition for my Italian class. I need to insert a few accent marks. Common sense tells me that I should use the "special characters" option on the edit menu, and a little research explains that a character palate should pop up. However, when I click special characters, nothing happens! What do I do?
    Thank you for your help!

    Jennifer,
    Do I understand correctly that you are calling up the Character Palette (using, e.g. Edit/Special Characters...) and nothing happens, i.e. no Palette pops up?
    If yes, then Tom Genecke provided this link:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307354
    which solved the problem for me right away.
    As for international characters, I warmly recommend including the US-Extended Keyboard in your layout (System Preferences/International/Input Menu). This allows you to use shortcuts for characters such as à or ì (Alt-`/~ (top left hand corner of your US keyboard) followed by the letter a or i, respectively), or é, á, or í (Alt-e followed by e,a, or i). And a host of others.
    Good luck on your composition!

  • Airport utility is not working on Windows. I can configure Airport Expresses with the Macbook but multiple computers with Windows and the latest Airport Utility time out after trying to connect to the router for setup.

    I have been trying to setup Airpot Expresses (both old and new models) for a while now with the Airpot Utility 5.6.1 for Windows without any luck. I have tried this on multiple windows machines, factory reseted the devices if I needed to, but I have not had any success since this software arrived. I see the routers on the Airport Utility UI, I click on it then try to connect to set it up. At this point, it gets stuck with a long progress bar trying to connect to the device without any success. I also have a Macbook Pro, and this device & software has had no trouble setting up the routers. The problem is, we are shipping these small routers out to customers who use Windows machines and it is vital that the user can modify the settings using Airpot Utility. I am at a loss for what to do and if we can't find any solutions, we are going to move on to a different company for the routers we ship out.

    Thanks a lot i followed the instructions for safe mode (i found out that i was pressing the C button after restarting) i did whats written there but the repair couldn't be performed so in addition i needed to re-formate the HD so i erased the volume and then repaired the disk--> quite disk utilities --> start the installation from the installation DVD.
    Thanks really appreciating your help
