Using a shortcut in a Condition

I have a SQL Expression used in many conditions on many pages. It uses app level items and static strings.
How can I store it in one place as say a shortcut or app-level substitution string? This way, I need to change it one place only.
Thanks

Yes, I could, but it seems like a waste to create a one-line stored function. It is really just a INSTR() thats all, I thought it would be nice to handle it in HTML DB itself. I thought substitution strings and shortcuts were designed for this sort of stuff (reuse SQL and PL/SQL fragments), right?
Thanks

  • Issue in using presentation variable as filter condition in the reports

    Hi,
    I have an issue in using presentation variable as filter condition in my reports the details are as follows:
    Details :
    We want to implement the Max and Min variables through Presentation variables only.we do not want to implement it through session variables in this case.
    We have two variables MIN and MAX to be used as Presentation Variables,for a column of the report (which is a quantity),so that the user wants to see the data for this column within a particular range.i.e the Min and the Max.This part has been implemented well . The issue is when the user wants to see the full data.In that case we will not pass any values to these two Presentation Variable or in other words we are not restricting the report data so we are not passing any value to the variables,this is when the report is throwing the error. we want to leave this variables blank in that case.but this is giving error.
    Please suggest how can I overcome this issue.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Regards,
    Praveen

    i think you have to use guided navigation for this. create two reports first is the one you are having currently and second is the one in which remove the presentation variable from the column formula. i.e. the same report with no aggregation applied.
    Now create a dummy report and make it return value only when the presentation variable value is not equal to max or min. guide the report to navigate between the first and second report based on the result of the dummy report.

  • When I use the shortcut to open a new window in safari (command N), I get a 404 error message from Google. How do I change where 'Command N' routes to?

    When I use the shortcut to open a new window in safari (command N) on my Macbook Pro, I get a 404 error message from Google. How do I change where 'Command N' routes to? 

    It's not necessary to change the Command N keystroke..
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
    Click:   Remove All Website Data
    Then delete the cache.
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that didn't help, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

  • AE CS6 bug: Can't use any shortcut that includes the C in it

    A while ago I started having some issues In Illustrator CS6, where I couldn't copy and paste from one document/application to another, the issue later ported itself to AE and not much after that anything including the C key stopped working. For example I can't copy, pre compose or create a camera using shortcuts.
    After a lot of troubleshooting I was able to isolate a preference pane who was causing the Illustrator issue, I removed it and AI went back to normal, I assumed After Effects would be fixed too but unfortunately that's not the case, I still can't use the C key.
    I ran Onyx thoroughly, trashed AE's prefs, removed some recently acquired scripts, removed some login items and trashed those prefs also (I read a thread that mentioned those items could be causing odd behaviors).
    I carefully compared my setup against my laptop, which also has AE CS6 installed and working perfectly, I have the same scripts, the same preferences and the only login items not installed there are the ones that's are grayed out in my imac, so I can't delete them.
    If someone can help with this I'll be very grateful, I'm wasting a lot of time trying to solve this thing and I'm very used to using said shortcuts to increase my workflow.
    Thanks.

    I quit a few other components, a small utility called Shortcut (isn't that ironic?) and another one called MacAppBlocker,
    I still can't pre compose any layers using command-shift-c
    I was able to create a camera using command-shift-alt-c, after several tries, sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't.
    I was being able to copy and paste across different programs and layers all sorts of objects, UNTIL  I opened Illustrator and copied a path, then I pasted it into a solid in AE.
    The next time I tried to copy something else, my clipboard got stuck with the path from Illustrator, EVEN inside illustrator.
    Greg, as you can see from this thread:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4462265
    This is an aknowledged bug from Illustrator, but as I have discovered in the past few days it's affecting everything systemwise, what are the possibilities that the only shortcuts that are failing are those that contain the combination of command-c? And like I said, it starts missbehaving right after I copy a path in Illustrator, not before.
    Alright, after some further testing, here's what I found:
    I removed (completely deleted) from my computer a small piece of software called WD Quickview, right after I was able to precomp and create cameras in AE.
    I still have the copy/paste issue from Illustrator, right after I copy a path, the clipboard goes haywire system wide.
    The strange thing is that, such program, WD Quickview has been installed on my computer for over a year now and never had any trouble with it, moreover, I'm not entirely sure how am I going to be able to get into the drive that uses that program (WD force-install that thing with their new drives that come with a new unerasable firmware).
    Coincidentally, I haven't plug the drive at all this week, so perhaps the program went crazy when it couldn't find the drive?

    Is there any way to an index that can be used to include the "OR condition "?
    Thanks.
    GooGyum.

    A database cannot in general use indexes in this way for an 'or' involving two different columns. However, for this specific example one can easily rewrite the query using 'UNION' to use the relevant indexes while still giving the same (correct) result:
    Command> explain select * from test t1 where t1.c1 = 'AAAAAAAAAA' union select * from test t2 where t2.c2 = 'AAAAAAAAAA';
    Query Optimizer Plan:
      STEP:                1
      LEVEL:               1
      OPERATION:           RowLkRangeScan
      TBLNAME:             TEST
      IXNAME:              TEST
      INDEXED CONDITION:   T1.C1 = 'AAAAAAAAAA'
      NOT INDEXED:         <NULL>
      STEP:                2
      LEVEL:               2
      OPERATION:           RowLkRangeScan
      TBLNAME:             TEST
      IXNAME:              TEST_IDX2
      INDEXED CONDITION:   T2.C2 = 'AAAAAAAAAA'
      NOT INDEXED:         <NULL>
      STEP:                3
      LEVEL:               1
      OPERATION:           OrderBy
      TBLNAME:             <NULL>
      IXNAME:              <NULL>
      INDEXED CONDITION:   <NULL>
      NOT INDEXED:         <NULL>
      STEP:                4
      LEVEL:               2
      OPERATION:           UnionMergeSort
      TBLNAME:             <NULL>
      IXNAME:              <NULL>
      INDEXED CONDITION:   <NULL>
      NOT INDEXED:         <NULL>
    Maybe you can apply a similar trick? If you know there is no possibility of duplicate rows then you can further optimise this (in terms of performance) by using UNION ALL.

  • Is there a way to use a shortcut value in the page's header template ?

    Hello everybody,
    we would like to create a page template with centralized information in the database. I tried to use the shortcuts inside the page template, but it doesn't seems it's working, or I'm not using it correctly.
    The only way I was able to use it is by using javascript to instanciate some properties, But I don't like that idea because it means I must edit all the page using that script. I simply want to change the page template and the changes be applied to all the page who are using that template.
    Here is what I want to do :
    <img src="#WORKSPACE#image/logo.png" alt='"MY_SHORTCUT"' />
    IS there a way to have a dynamic substitution variables that I could use in my html object attributes ? (I'm using APEX 3.2)
    Thank you

    Shortcuts are not available for use in page templates. This is something of a pain.

    IS there a way to have a dynamic substitution variables that I could use in my html object attributes ? (I'm using APEX 3.2)The closest equivalent to shortcuts in this case is probably an application item. Set the value using an application computation or process and reference it in the page template using static substitution syntax:
    <a href="http://myserver.com/htmldb/f?p=100:1:415680519803489:::::" title="&APP_ITEM."> <img src="#WORKSPACE#image/logo.png" alt="&APP_ITEM." /> </a>Not sure that it's necessarily a good idea to use the same value for link <tt>title</tt> and image <tt>alt</tt> text in this case though. What value(s) will be used?

    please how can one How to Capitalize the first letter or an entire word using a shortcut on the keyboard just like in microsoft that uses shift+F3

    What do you mean there was "no effect?" I'm not aware of any effects.
    It looks like that Service is also in the App Store. From their screen shots, the services are prefaced with WordService:
    You can see an example in the App Store for their app: App Store
    After installing, you should now have those text services in your Services menu. You can then add shortcuts in the Keyboard System Prefs.
    Most Apple apps have a Transformations menu in the Edit menu. You can Make upper, lower, and Initial caps with those. I would stick with Word Services, but you can make Application Shortcuts for the items in the Transformations menu.
    Again, in Keyboard System Prefs, Under Applications, Click the Add button on the right side pane.
    Set it for All Applications
    Enter the menu command exactly as they appear in the Transformation menu (separate entries for each),
    Make Upper Case
    Make Lower Case
    Capitalize
    Give them a shortcut.

  • ORA-00936: Missing Expression when using a claculation as a condition item

    Hi
    I created a calculation below to create a subtotal on each row of a group of selected items.
    SUM(Invoice Amount)OVER(PARTITION BY Supplier Num ORDER BY Payment Currency Code)
    This worked fine - but then I wanted to create a condition based on this calculation and when I used the calculation as a condition item and reran the report I received the 'ORA-00936: Missing Expression' error. So not too sure why it is fine as a calculation but not as part of a condition.
    We use Discoverer version 4.1
    Am I missing something or is this a bug?
    Any help would be very appreciated

    Apologies if this info is not that helpful
    Would it have anything to do with the fact that the row calculation is based on several rows (i.e. a subtotal) and if a single row is excluded it would change the value of the other rows within that subtotal group. Maybe it causes some sort of circular issue?
    Anyway, thanks again for your help - hopefully we can resolve it

    Hello Vicki,
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive & clear caches.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    If 10.7.0 or later...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.

  • Use Japaness words as search condition, but can't retrive data

    Hi,
      I encountered this problem. In report, I use client name as a condition. User can choose a client to
    retrieve data.
       but when user choose a Japanese client name(or other non-English language), can't get data.
       I use the sql genereated by bo to exetute in SQL SERVER2005:
    Select * from m_client where client_local_name = u2019たなかさu2019，no data found,
    but change to  Select * from m_client where client_local_name = Nu2019なかさu2019,can retrieve data.
    Here I use N before the Japanese word
    how to set my DB or set my BO server to solve this issue?
    Best Regards,
    Tony Renjie

    Try this:
    1) Open Designer
    2) File --> Parameters
    3) go to the Parameter tab
    4) add a new value: "UNICODE_STRING"  = "Yes"
    Good luck!

  • Use of Shortcuts in Lightroom

    I am a wedding photographer and I find LR very slow and frustrating because it all appears to be mouse driven, rather than using shortcuts. My main bug is not being able to use a shortcut key to access the next photo in Develop after you have manually adjusted a photo. If you use the Ctrl L key and you happened to have adjusted the blacks and the mouse is still over the blacks...it does nothing at all.
    Also I am having problems with the memory. After loading up 700 jpegs....adjusting them, and getting up to 500 I keep getting AN UNEXPECTED ERROR HAS OCCURED and LR will not load up any more photos in Develop. I think it is like a scratchpad issue. Has anyone else experienced this and how do you get a round it.

    Not he empty FAQ here but at
    LR Extras FAQ, under 'Info to start with.
