The command "describe test_table", displays different datatype

Hello All,
I have a strange issue in my Oracle 12c, I'm have a database gateway setup to connect to a Microsoft SQL through dblink using ODBC 64 bits driver
All works fine but I noticed that some columns in the oracle tables that I'm merging from microsoft sql  don't display the values even though in the microsoft SQL they are there
I noticed that in the SQL the datatype of the column is VARCHAR while if I describe the table from within oracle I can see that column as NVARCHAR2
I also noticed that some columns don't even display in Oracle and they are NVARCHAR in Microsoft SQL
I was thinking that it may be due to characters conversion but not sure
Anyone ever had this problem ?
Thank you

  • What is the best way to display different array values to appropriate indicators?

    I am using DAQmx Read vi and its output is an array. I need a way to pass each value to an appropriate front panel indicator, so I can monitor each sensor. I tried using "Index Array" and passing the array element to the indicators but it looks sloppy. Is there a more professional way? Thanks!

    Try using the Array to Cluster function in the Cluster subpallet. If you put all of your indicators in the same cluster on your front panel, you can then pass the array data to this function and then pass it directly to the cluster without having to index the array.

  • F4 key in the command line

    F4 key in the command line would display the history of commands used.Would it display the commands used by all the other sessions on the instance or mine alone??If so how does it update those values and where does it get stored on my machine??
    Thanks

    F4 key does not mean showing history. The function of F4 key is showing possible input values. It shows what possible entries can be given in some of the options. Not in all cases it shows the possible entries. It shoes possible entries on certain cases. For example if u want to start a background job and u had several application servers u can choose the application server on which u want. If u hit F4 key in the tab it shows all the servers available and u can choose one from tht. Thts how it works. This is equal to possible entries option when u right click in an entry box

  • Interfacing Java with the command prompt

    Hi everyone,
    I'm very new to java and wanted to see if anyone had any advice before i started getting too far into this project. I want to write a java program which allows the user to draw lines on the screen, and move them around, and then the program will compute the equations of these lines and feed them into another program to study the algebra behind the geometry.
    I've written an applet which is a start towards what I want: http://math.berkeley.edu/~aboocher/Mouse2.html but I'm encountering problems since it seems very difficult to have an applet write to a file, so I started trying to just create a self-contained java program. Before I move further I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction.
    Ultimately I would like a window where the user can draw some geometric objects and the computer will write the equations to a file and then when I click "compute" say, it will run my other program (which can be done from the command line) and display "true or false"
    In case it matters, I'm on a Mac and the exterior program is called Macaulay 2.
    Thanks for your help!

    That seems highly reasonable.
    If your going to be writing to a file, it would probably be a better approach to create an application.
    As for the arithmetic part of it, you'll want to save the points that the lines dropped, to use for future calculations. Using arrays would probably be a good idea.
    You'll also want to reduce the flickering problem with your applet on the website you linked to. Maybe double buffer? Along with using arrays to recall previous lines

  • How to display the contents of a text file on the command line?

    I realize I need to utilize classes from the java.io.* package, but I don't know which ones to use exactly. This is what I would like to do in a nutshell:
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
    File inputFile = new File( <path to the file>);
    // code that reads data from the above file and is able to
    // append it to  a string object or display it on the command
    // line (System.out.println)
    }Thanks for your time!

    It's pretty easy. Here's a little example that reads a file, stores it in a string, and prints it to the command line.
    import java.io.*;
    public class OpenFile {
         public static void main(String args[]) {
              try {
                   File fileToOpen = new File("something.txt");
                   FileReader fileIn = new FileReader(fileToOpen);
                   BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fileIn);
                   String fileContent = new String();
                   String line;
                   while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
                        fileContent += line + "\n";
                   System.out.println(fileContent);
                   br.close();
              catch (IOException e) {
                   System.out.println("Exception: " + e);
    }Good luck,

    A senior citizen needs some help.
    Thanks

    Saving each image as different size - is it an option for you?  I would save images with their name as: 20x30.png, 16x20.png etc etc.
    Or explain whether you want these in a webpage  in which case only one image is necessary and different sizes are displayed with good CSS code.  this is question for Dreamweaver forum if this is what you want.

  • Displaying different levels of the same hierarchy in the different columns

    I have a parent child hierarchy and wish to display different levels of the hierarchy in different columns of the resultset eg
    level 1 level 2
    Europe UK
    Europe France
    N America US
    N America Canada
    However writing MDX like the below
    select
    {} on 0,
    ([Geo].[level 1],[Geo].Level 2] on 1
    from cube
    results in the error "The [Geo] hierarchy is used more than once in the crossjoin
    How can I get around this??

    Hi,
    You can make use of CrossJoin function in MDX, I give a sample MDX based on the AdventureWorks database:
    select {[Measures].[Reseller Sales Amount]} on 0,
    crossjoin({[Sales Territory].[Sales Territory Group].[Sales Territory Group].members},{[Sales Territory].[Sales Territory Country].[Sales Territory Country].members}) on 1
    from [Adventure Works]
    After execut the MDX you will get the result like this:
    Reseller Sales Amount
    Europe
    France
    $4,607,537.94
    Europe
    Germany

  • How can we change the  color of the image for product display for different

    Hi All,
    How can we change the  color of the image for product display for different colors, to be displayed on site.
    jeff

    Hi priya,
    The requirement that you have stated is not a standard feature in ISA CRM. In order to do the same, you will need to modify the standard ISA code in Java. A common path for the solution would be as follows:
    1. Colours
        a. Maintain a text type for Color under the object - PCAT_ITM in Customizing.
        b. Modify the standard search of ISA to search within your new text type as well. (In standard it only searches in Description.
       c. Maintain all shirts colour data in the new type created in step a.
       d. Your requirement will be done!
    2. Price
      a. Use list prices for your shop and assign the appropriate condition type, acces in your catalog.
      b. Modify the standard search of ISA to search on the list prices as well.
      c. This too will be done!
    3. Accessories - This is very tricky, and will require some exploration. However, here's my opinion,
    a. Search for the standard function module, which will return the accessories when provided the product as an input.
    b. Modify this function module according to your requirement and ensure that it can be accessed remotely.
    c. Modify the JSP as in steps 1b and 2b above to call this new remote-enabled function module.
    d. Now you're done!!
    The ISA modification part is not so simple, you need a really good guy like "Sateesh Chandra" who'll be able to handle your requirements. This is all I could manage, hope it is some help to you!
    Thanks & Regards,
    Nelson.

    It could be a compatibility issue as well as Acrobat 8 is an older version.

    Is it happening with all the word files or any specific one'?

    In this link also i struck in
    In page 10  of that document
    The application is now ready to be translated. Everything is in place to run it in any language imaginable.To ca ll the application in another language, change the URL of your application to the following:
    http://yourdomain:port/pls/apex/f?p=&APP_ID.:&PAGE_ID.:&SESSION_ID.:LANG:NO::FSP_LANGUAGE_PREFERENCE:nl
    This example will call the chosen page in the application and show it in the Dutch language instead of in English. To select another language change the property nl at the end of the URL to your desired language code.
    Thanks alot for ur suggestions.kindly provide more inputs..............

  • NOT displaying the command window when running applications

    hi
    i'v been seraching all over the web for a way to get rid of the command window (dos shell) that appears when running a java swing based application (or any other). i currently have a batch file that loads all the required libraries into the class path and then calls the application's main class. problem is, the DOS command window stays open. is there any way to have it not display (obviously without losing my program in the process). at the very least can it be minimised automatically (just the dos window)?? though i think getting rid of it all together would be best.
    i would really love some help on this... very over seeing that dos window displayed...
    any help would be greatly appreciated.... thanks heaps

  • What is the command to display files full time information

    what is the command to diaplay a file's full time information?
    Iwant time as well as date.
    ls -l some times gives time, but i want the year of modification as well.

    Would you not be able to use ls -lu to see when the
    file was last modified.No. -u explicitly asks for the access time, not modification time. And that does nothing to modify the time display format that the poster was asking about.
    $ man ls
    -u Uses time of last access instead of last modification
    for sorting (with the -t option) or printing (with the
    -l option).
    You do need to have -atime specified when the
    filesystem was mounted to allow access time updates
    and sometimes this is switched off for better
    performanceI'm not sure what that has to do with time display.
