Viewing in column format

I am trying to burn my photos from last month. Usually I just go to view in columns and drag the files to DVD icon. Today for some reason the column icon in the view menu does not work. Nor when I go to view>column - the command is faded out. Does anyone know why this would happen? Thanks.

Hi,
The Finder preference file may be corrupted.
Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon.
Now open the LIbrary folder then the Preferences folder.
Move the com.apple.finder.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.

Column format for Describe

Hi guys,
I got a small question here.
The question is regarding the column formating in SQL prompt.
basically we can use DESCRIBE <table_name> to see the columns existed in a table.
the column headers appear are "Name", "Null", and "Type"
if you don't do any linesize and pagesize setting, the result of the describe is good enough, but the thing is when you set both linesize and pagesize to 1000, in linux you'll get a really screwed result of that DESCRIBE syntax.
in windows of course this might not happen if you set the screen buffer size to 1000 as well.
so, come to the real question:
How can I format the column header for DESCRIBE syntax?
Regards,
Adhika

the column NAME in the view v$tablespace is already of datratype varchar2(30). So when you set the sql*plus printing of this column to format a30, there would be no change.
test the command with format a5 and you'll see some difference.Actually you won't...

When I click on a file to view in Finder in the view as columns, Finder stops responding. If I use Finder in any of the other views, I don't have an issue.

When I go to finder and view as columns so that the right column will open a preview of the file, I get the endless spinning graphic and when I go to Force Quit, it shows that Finder has stopped responding. When I use Finder in any other view mode, I don't have that issue. This just started today. As far as I know, I haven't done any updates today that would cause the issue. I've restarted a few times. I'm running 10.10 on iMac (27-inch, Mid 2011). I when to updates in the App Store and saw there was an update for 10.10.1 and tried to run it twice now. It starts to install and says I have 7 minutes left and then at about 3 minutes, it just opens all my windows again and acts normally. When I go to "About this mac", I'm still showing 10.10 as the OS. Also, in the App Store, when I click on updates, it shows me 4 updates that I've already installed as ready to install. Not really sure what's going on nor why all the sudden this is an issue, but I use the preview mode in Finder all the time so I would love a fix for this. I've tried logging out and logging in as another user and the same issue with Finder happens with other users as well. I've emptied my trash bin as well.

Step one is to log into a newly created admin user account and see if the problem persists.

Bug in details view: index columns not shown correctly, stops at 4th column

I do have two indices on a table which are shown in the details view. In the column 'columns' only the first 4 columns are shown that belong to the index.
If I choose an index in another detail view, all columns are shown correctly.
Where to report this bug?

I just realized this was an issue today.
Once one knows that only 4 columns are shown in the summary and that you have to click on the index name for any index that shows 4 columns to see if there are more, well that extra click is pretty simple and not a big deal.
The problem is BEFORE one knows of this. For weeks, when reviewing some indexes created by others, I was under the wrong impression about some indexes because I thought they only had the 4 columns shown. I didn't know at that time that I had to select the index and look at the detail section.
It wasn't until I just happened to click on one of them and saw more columns listed that I realized there was a bug. And yes, as far as I'm concerned, this is a bug not a feature.
At an absolute minimum, there should be something done so users know they have to look at the details. Perhaps the heading could be changed to "Columns (up to 4)" or the ellipsis or (more) could be added as someone else suggested. Even just an additional comma would help. I can't imagine why it was written to stop at 4 anyway - why does that make any sense?
This is the first time I've come to this forum so I'm not sure how to request an enhancement. I'll read a few other threads and see if I can tell.

Subject: List View & Disappearing Columns
I am using a ListView and it seems that some of my columns are
disappearing after I set them in the properties and then compile.
Sometimes they are truly are gone, and sometimes if I recreate them
and
compile again, I get a duplicate object error. I can't tell if it is
because my list view is mapped to a node with an image in it or if
that
is irrelevant. Has anyone else had this problem and is there a work
around using this widget?
I like how the column headings are presented with this widget and
would
like to keep using it.
I am using Release 3.0.G.0

Unfortunately, only Icon and Column views can be set as global defaults. If you open a new window and set it to List view it should continue to open in that same view for the same folder.
You can submit this as a feedback request (I have done so, as have others - we're hoping for implementation in Leopard...).
Hope this helps...I know it doesn't solve the problem, but we're in the same boat, so to speak...
Ps. Are you really running 10.0.x on your G4/G5??? If so, there may be a way to set list view as default, but you should post to the 10.3 & earlier forum as this is the 10.4/Tiger forum.

How to create a view indicating column's length?

SQL>create table abc (a number(12));
I want to create a view cde with a length of number(5) by "describe cde" in sql*plus.
SQL>create view cde(a) as select a from abc;
SQL>desc cde
A NUMBER(12)
how to create a view indicating column's length? the actual value in abc only <1000
I want to create a view cde with a length of number(5) .
SQL>desc cde
A NUMBER(12)
Thank You
Ming-An Zhang

This does not make sense. How can a view be a NUMBER(5) and the actual column a NUMBER(12)?
What happens if there is a 10 or 12 digit number in the table? Just what is the view suppose to do? Crash and burn? Where is the logic in that?!
If the table's column has an incorrect precision and size, THEN FIX IT!! Do not hack it with view!
It is silly purposefully building constructs into the database that can easily result in run-time errors.

How to create list of a View's column names and source

Using SQL 2005, 2008, and 2012
How to create list of a View's column names and source. For the following example would like to @Print something like the following. Does anyone already have some code to do this? I realize there are probably some gotchas, but the views that I am looking
at to use this follows the code snippet pattern below.
DBACCT.[Account Number]
dbo.ConvertDate(DBACDT). [Boarding Date]
DBXES.DBXES
CREATE VIEW [dbo].[v_ods_DBAL]
AS
SELECT DBACCT AS [Account Number], dbo.ConvertDate(DBACDT) AS [Boarding Date], DBXES
FROM dbo.ods_DBAL

The column information can be obtained from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS view using logic like below
SELECT c.COLUMN_NAME,c.DATA_TYPE
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS c
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT 1
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
WHERE TABLE_NAME = c.TABLE_NAME
AND TABLE_TYPE='VIEW')

Export in column format

Dear Gurus,
What if i check the option export in column format while export the database?
Thanks,
Sekhar

Hi,
Adding to the John comments,
If you export the database in the column format the size of the export file will be much more than the data in the cubes.
I had an experience where I used to export the data in column format which results in a file which was
twice the size of the file without the column format.
If you have a lot of data in essbase cubes, I advice you to export data in non columnar format in order to save the disk space.
Thanks,
Sourabh

Spacing at the end of each column in 3 column format

I am copying text with footnotes from a word file into Pages. When the text is pasted into the three column format some of the columns are really short. They don't even make it half way to the start of the foot notes on the bottom of the page. How can I make the columns extend to the start of the foot notes on all of the pages? Please Help. Thank you.

No luck there- I had actually already tried that. The only thing that has worked so far, after many attempts, is to erase the footnotes and reinsert them. (So I'm guessing all the issues stem from pasting over from Word.) If there's an easier way, I'd love to find it since this is a rather long paper with lots of footnotes. (And I can't just leave the document in Word...based on my formatting tries and research, it's not even really capable of doing the footnotes the way I'd like them to be.)

PDF export for columns formatted as HTML

Hello,
I've created a report having some columns formatted as HTML .
in the PDF file exported from BI Answers dashboard, HTML tags are shown instead of formatted value.
(for example : "div style="width:100%;background-color:#FF3300">89.12%</div" instead of 89.92%)
Any ideas how to fix this ?
BI version : 10.1.3.3.3
Thank you.

Hi dragosv,
I've also encountered similar problems to that. The OBIEE process does not first evaluate the code before it exports to other tools like PDF and Excel.
Here are two options:
1) Submit an SR to Oracle and have them declare it a bug
2) Print to HTML first, then print the HTML to PDF. It adds a step but at least you can download your document the way you want.
Best regards,
-Joe

Finder: Changing from thumbnail view to column view takes me back to the root folder.

Hi,
I was hoping someone could help me with this as it's getting a bit tedious having to re-navigate back to the folder I was in. This problem is only occuring when I am working from an external NAS Drive.
I need to switch between thumbnail view and column view regularly, but whenever I change from thumnails to column - finder jumps back to the root folder, meaning I have to work my way back to where I was.
I can't figure out how to stop this happening! It doesn't happen when changing from column to thumbnails, only the other way round..
Thanks for any suggestions!
Sarah.

Hi Barney,
Thanks for your reply Unfortunately though I already use AFP on the NAS drive and still have the problem, so it seems this is an issue with both AFP and CIFS..

How do I maintain column formatting when converting from PDF to Excel?

How do I maintain column formatting when converting from PDF to Excel? All info is no longer on the lines or in the columns they started out being in? Any help would be appreciated.

Sara,
Perhaps I am expecting too much from Adobe ExportPDF. The reason I subscribed to this service, for which I pay a yearly fee, was that I need a way to convert scanned and digital documents to Word &/or Excel. I read the link you included but to be candid the more I tried to understand what was written the more confused I got. The process should not be this difficult. Currently I am using a NEAT scanner to create PDF documents of whatever I scan. After I changed the OCR setting on Adobe ExportPDF the output was much better but not to the point it was usable as it was. Information that appears to be lines and columns are sometimes not recognizing two columns and just putting them together in one. Obviously not usable. The other thing it does is bunch numbers that appear in a column that are just a bunch of numbers that I have no way of fixing.
Please let me speak to someone who can help me. Right now I not getting anything of value in my paid subscription.

Report Writer Row and Column Format

Hi
Was wondering if there is a possible solution to this :-
Understand that column format is controlled by format groups. This means that all figures in the same column will take the same format (such as scaling and decimal place).
Scenario is ->
                    Colunn #1 -> column set as displaying no decimal point
Rev                  120
OP                      5
OP margin %     4.2 -> how to set this to 1 decimal point. Any formula syntax that I can use?
Regards.

Hi Vinay,
Based on my research, freezing row and column headers are different in table and matrix.
In a table, if we want to freeze column header, we should make the changes in the first Static row group in Row Groups pane with Advanced Mode as you said. If we want to freeze row header, the table should have a group ahead, then we can enable “Repeat header
rows on each page” and “Keep header visible while scrolling” options in Row Headers in Tablix Properties dialog box.
In a matrix, if we want to freeze column header, we can enable “Repeat header columns on each page” and “Keep header visible while scrolling” options in Column Headers in Tablix Properties dialog box. If we want to freeze row header, we can enable “Repeat
header rows on each page” and “Keep header visible while scrolling” options in Row Headers in Tablix Properties dialog box.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Thx for your help
