What is the difference between iwork and microsoft office for mac?

I was wondering which one is worth the money.

+I was wondering which one is worth the money.+
It depends on why you want iWork or Office. If you work in a group where Office is the main collaboration app, you need it and it's worth it. If you work independently and don't plan to do much collaboration with Office users, but you still need a nice productivity suite, iWork might be a bargain for you.
There are many situations where buying both Office and iWork is the right choice. If you're not sure what you will do with either one, save your money and use TextEdit. If your needs are very specific, there are many third-party apps that may suit you better than either iWork or Office. If you describe your needs, there are many users here who will be eager to offer specific suggestions.

  • What's the difference between redundancy and recovery window for retention?

    Hello all,
    I'm still trying to get a grip on this concept for RMAN backup planning.
    I recently ran into a situation as follows.
    I have the backups set to a redundancy of 1.
    I have instance1, which had GRID jobs to run RMAN backups as follows
    Incremental database level=0 weekly at Wed at 2:30am
    I have daily backups, incremental level=1 each evening
    I have archive log backups through the day.
    What happened, was that apparently on a Tues some time, the development team deleted data from almost every table in their schema.
    The didn't discover this till midday or so on Wednesday.
    I went to try to restore...and RMAN couldn't do it. I had found a SCN for early the Tues they did it...but I got the following error:
    RMAN> RUN
    2> {
    3> SET UNTIL SCN 4590383198282;
    4> RESTORE DATABASE;
    5> RECOVER DATABASE;
    6> }

    ORA-01110: data file 1: '+DATADG/instance1/datafile/system.284.697137287'
    From what research I did...it appears that since I did not have a level=0 incremental from before, it could not reset the database back in time. The previous one had been deleted since, I guess I had a redundancy of 1.
    So, I thought I had a week backup they way I have it set..but that assumes that errors are found pretty quickly before the next level=0 backup.
    I want at least 1 to 1.5 weeks worth of backups. I do have the problem that we do not have many tapes in rotation, so I cannot go for too long...may 2x weeks tops.
    I'm trying to rethink my strategy, but I'm confused as I read as to the difference between setting RMAN retention with redundancy vs recovery window.
    Can someone give me an explanation how you understand it? I'm reading on the web and in oracle books, and for some reason, it just isn't clear to me what is the best way to go....especially when I see that redundancy and recovery window might both be set??
    Thank you in advance,
    cayenne

    Dear Cayenne
    AFAIK RMAN doesn't claim that "you haven't enough backup". Please read the error you got carefully
    ORA-01180: can not create datafile 1
    ORA-01110: data file 1: '+DATADG/instance1/datafile/system.284.697137287'
    and check the following link:
    ORA-01180: Cannot create datafile 1 when doing RMAN restore onto 2nd server
    Moreover, could you please use LIST BACKUP command and see whether you have enough backups?
    Read "Redundancy Based Backup Retention Policy" from the following link:

  • What's the difference between text and value type for SO item category?

    Dears,
    Could anybody help me on this question?
    Many thanks!
    Regards,
    Shiliang

    Hi Shiliang,
    In a Bill Of Material the main item is a  composite item which represents what is being sold to the customer. For eg. a computer typically would consist of Monitor, Keyboard,mouse and CPU, speakers. Here computer refers the collection of all these items which are physically existing and basically items present in our inventory ( Value Items ). Where as computer is just a text item meant to describe the collection.
    Also to add the for Usage we use it as text sometimes, which is used to say the item has been authenticated by the quality dept and we print " Tested " on it or these days all the items come out with unique article numbers for identification purpose. So we use this usage as text.
    Hope it adds. Pl reward if useful.
    Thanks & Regards

  • What is the difference between #variable_name and :variable_name?

    Hi!
    What is the difference between #variable_name and :variable_name?
    I have found that if we use alphanumeric variable then :variable_name return value in quotes but #variable_name without quotes.
    Why it does not work in the same way for variable default values when variable is used in filter? (It works in mapping)
    I use variable in filter like T.OUT_DATE>convert(datetime,:LAST_UPDATE_DATE,121)
    When I use my variable in package and do refresh it works fine. But when I try to execute the same interface with variable default value I get error. Seems that variable name has been not changed to the value. It does not work with default value in quotes neither without quotes.
    Any ideas how to solve that?
    Thank you in advance!
    Edited by: user13278245 on Sep 15, 2010 4:34 AM

    Question is how to make it work with default value, when I execute interface standalone, not in package? And why it works in mapping but not in filter?
    + I have found that it works if source is Oracle. It doesn't work only for MS SQL source.

  • What is the difference between start() and run()

    Hi:
    what is the difference between start() and the run()???
    in my app, i have
    Console.debug( "starting thread to listen for clients" );
    _server = new Server( this );
    _server.start();
    _server extends Thread..
    why everytime i use server.start(); my app will terminate on it is own, even though in my servr.run() method, i have a while loop
    and if i call _server.run() explicitly in my code, that while loop will be in execution
    can someone let me know??
    thnx

    what is the difference between start() and the
    run()???start() is a method on Thread that tells it to start.
    run() is a method in the object that the thread executes.
    why everytime i use _server.start(); my app will
    terminate on it is own, Err.... I'm not convinced this is true. It'll throw an IllegalThreadStateException, if you try to restart an existing thread.
    If that's what you're saying.
    even though in my _servr.run()
    method, i have a while loopI don't see the connection. Are you saying that the while loop never terminates, and you don't see why the thread is terminating?
    and if i call _server.run() explicitly in my code,
    that while loop will be in executionIf you call server.run() explicitly, then run() will be executed in the same thread that you called it in.

  • What is the difference between exists and in

    hi all
    if i have these queries
    1- select ename from emp where ename in ( select ename from emp where empno=10)
    and
    2- select ename from emp where exists ( select ename from emp where empno=10)
    what is the difference between exists and in is that only when i use in i have to bring the field name or what.... i mean in a complex SQL queries is it will give the same answer
    Thanks

    You get two entirely different result sets that may be the same. Haah! What do I mean by that.
    SQL> select table_name from user_tables;
    TABLE_NAME
    BAR
    FOO
    2 rows selected.
    SQL> select table_name from user_tables where table_name in (select table_name from user_tables where table_name = 'FOO');
    TABLE_NAME
    FOO
    1 row selected.
    SQL> select table_name from user_tables where exists(select table_name from user_tables where table_name = 'FOO');
    TABLE_NAME
    BAR
    FOO
    2 rows selected.So, why is this? the WHERE EXISTS means 'if the next is true', much like where 1=1 being always true and 1=2 being always false. In this case, where exists could be TRUE or FALSE, depending on the subquery.
    WHERE EXISTS can be useful for something like testing if we have data, without actually having to return columns.
    So, if you want to see if an employee exists you might say
    SELECT 1 FROM DUAL WHERE EXISTS( select * from emp where empid = 10);
    If there is a row in emp for empid=10, then you get back 1 from dual;
    This is what I call an 'optimistic' lookup because the WHERE EXISTS ends as soon as there is a hit. It does not care how many - only that at least one exists. It is optimistic because it will continue processing the table lookup until either it hits or reaches the end of the table - for a non-indexed query.

  • What is the difference between TO_CHAR and TO_DATE()?

    Hi everybody,
    i am facing a problem in my system.It is quite urgent, can you explain me "What is the difference between TO_CHAR and TO_DATE()?".
    According to user's requirement, they need to generate a code with format "YYMRRR".
    YY = year of current year
    M = month of current month (IF M >=10 'A' ,M >=11 'B' , M >=10 'C')
    RRR = sequence number
    Example: we have table USER(USER_ID , USER_NAME , USER_CODE)
    EX: SYSDATE = "05-29-2012" MM-DD-YYYY
    IF 10
    ROW USER_ID , USER_NAME , USER_CODE
    1- UID01 , AAAAA , 125001
    2- UID02 , AAAAA , 125002
    10- UID010 , AAAAA , 12A010
    This is the original Script code. But This script runs very well at my Local. Right format. But it just happens wrong format on production.
    12A010 (Right) => 11C010 (Wrong).
    SELECT TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'YY') || DECODE( TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'MM'),'01','1', '02','2', '03','3', '04','4', '05','5', '06','6', '07','7', '08','8','09','9', '10','A', '11','B', '12','C') ||     NVL(SUBSTR(MAX(USER_CODE), 4, 3), '000') USER_CODE FROM TVC_VSL_SCH

  • What is the difference between upgradation and migration.

    Hi Guru's
    what is the difference between upgradation and migration.
    actuallly i involved in upgradation project, here my role is
    1. first i check the query's in 3.5 save the query and transport the query. and check the query in bex analyzer also.
    2. go to BI .7  find the query;s ,give the query name and save the query ,
    3. once save the query, again will come to 3.5 open the query , it will not open. this is my job here,
        come to 7.0 check the query in analyzer also.
    i am having littile bit confusion, how it will comes query in 7.0, why are u saving the query's in 3.5 and 7.0
    query's already available in 7.0 why are u doing this work?
    can i know the upgrades those  objects, is it neccessary, if necessary how can i upgrade.
    infoobje , transferrules, transferstructure ,infosoure, datasoure,updaterules, ods, cubes.
    Points will be Assingned ,
    Thanks & Regards
    prabhavathi

    Hi,
    I was talking in a general sense not on a query level.
    If your taling about migration in that level meaning as a part of larger upgradation (in your case 3.x to 7) there may be many places where you need to do this kind of activities.
    Fr eg migration into new data flow, Migration of Web templates from BW 3.x to Netweaver 2004s, etc
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,

  • What is the difference  between ws_upload and gui_upload

    what is the difference  between ws_upload and gui_upload
    what is the difference  between ws_download and gui_down load
    pls tell  briefly

    Hi Kuamr,
    UPLOAD and DOWNLOAD, the function modules used until now are not part of the standard set of ABAP commands. They are used to display the file interface on the presentation server. UPLOAD and DOWNLOAD are not compatible with USs and have been replaced by GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD.
    The new function modules, GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD, have an interface that also allows you to write Unicode format to the local hard drive. For a description of these interfaces, refer to the documentation for each function module, available under SAP Easy Access " Development " Function Builder " Goto " Documentation.
    Instead of using the function modules, you can use the static methods GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD of the global class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES.
    Hope this resolves your query.
    Reward all the helpful answers.
