What is the format for the DATE date type in SQL

I just wanted to know what the format is for the Date type in Oracle 10g SQL. I need to be able to specify to the second, but not further than that. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
DATE format is configurable and can be easily changed. I suggest the function TO_DATE. For example:
to_date('10-20-2008', 'MM-DD-YYYY')
to_date('20/12/08 20:15', 'dd/mm/yyyy hh24:mi')Regards,
Miguel

What is the data type for the Data Dashboard XY Graph?

Hey all,
I am playing with the new Data Dashboard (!!) on my iPad 2 and am having trouble setting up the shared variables that host data to the XY Graph.
On my PC, in my Project (inside of a variable library) I have set up shared variables for all of the other controls/indicators available in the app; They all work great. However, I have not been able to identify the data type that is for the XY Graph in Data Dashboard. Of course, inside LabVIEW, I use a cluster of 2 arrays; this is not an available data type that I can select while creating a new variable on the hosting side. I have even gone so far as to create a custom control from my XYGraph in LabVIEW and then creating the data type "From Custom Control..." with no success.
What gives? Am I missing something obvious? Thanks for the help!!

Solved!

Great question, Aerogoob.
The XY graph can be bound to a 1d array of "points", where each point is a cluster of two numerics (X and Y). To create a shared variable of this type, you can set the data type to "From Custom Control..." in the shared variable properties dialog. Of course, first you'll have to build the custom control of the correct type: array of cluster of two numerics.
If any of that doesn't make sense, please post back and we can walk you through it in more detail.
Also, just for completeness, the chart indicator can be bound to a scalar numeric or to an array of numerics. The graph indicator can only be bound to an array of numerics.

What's the data type when defining a KF to show an integer with a sign?

We want show some days difference which should be an integer with either a positive or negative sign. I used to design a KF with type of Number with "DEC - Counter or amount field with comma and sign" as the Data Type, but find it shows 25.000 if the day difference is 25 days. We want to show it as 25 other than 25.000. Then what type would we pick when defining the KF? Use Integer as the type? But we also want it to show the sign symbol.
The type field is dimmed as long as the InfoObj. is activated that I have to remove this field. I've delete all the data loaded in ODS, PSA and etc., and I have successfully remove this KF from InfoSource, but when I try to remove it from the ODS, always get the msg "Can't move/delete locked InfoObjects" even if the InfoObject is not locked (I've tried SM12 to delete all locked entries and also tried relog on, but not helpful). If someone gives any idea, I would be very appreciated on how to remove this KF from ODS and also let me what type should I use when creating a new KF which only shows integer with a sign!
Thanks

hey Siggi,
Now after I right click the ODS and select "Delete Data", the KF eventually gets removed from the ODS without any error, then I continue to delete this InfoObj.
However, when I run the InfoPackage to load data to the ODS, get a msg (see below in between two dashed lines):
Syntax error in GP_ERR_RSDRO_UPDATE, row 1,210 (-> long text)
Message no. RG102
Diagnosis
The data object "I_S_OLDDATA" does not have a component called "/BIC/Z_field".
Where Z_field is the InfoObject we deleted. With this error, that's even worse since that stops any data coming in! How to get rid of this error that we can continue to load data?
Thanks

What is the data type for time and what to insert

Hi there
i had two attributes in a table called start_time and end_time and i want to insert time into these attrbutes e.g 10:00 and 11:00
How do i do that
what is oracle's built-in type for time???
adn how do i insert values in the table(i.e the format)
thanks

There is not Oracle type that has just a time. The DATE and TIMESTAMP data types include both the date and the time (TIMESTAMP has millisecond resolution and has optional timezone support). If what you're really interested is a time interval (i.e. 1 hour), there are some INTERVAL data types.
You have a lot of options for how to specify dates and timestamps along with format masks.

What is the data type of the value returned by the List box prompt in crystal

Post Author: Mudit Kothiyal
CA Forum: Formula
Hi all,
I am creating a report which has a list box prompt. When I am selecting a single value from the list box the report is working fine, but when I am selecting multiple values its not returning any data( although data is there). Does anyone know how the prompt values are passed to the report query by the crystal. I kno it passes the value to the report as an array. But how does it pass the value to the report query.
I am using command query to fetch data from the DB.
Crystal Report Version: Crystal Report XI R2.
DB: Oracle 10g
Also does anyone know how to pass the values of the list box prompt to the report query in comma seperated format.
Thanks & regards,
Mudit

In regards to the latter part of your question
The following examples are applicable to Basic and Crystal syntax.
The examples assume that list is a String array consisting of the 3 elements: "Chocolate", "Vanilla" and "Strawberry".
Join (list)
Returns the String "Chocolate Vanilla Strawberry".
Join (list, "***")
Returns the String "Chocolate**Vanilla**Strawberry".
Not sure about the first part of your question,sorry.

What should be the data type for a field in ztable?

i am desing a ztable , wht should be the datatype for a field if i want to enter values like -1.5 and -2.5 , negative values with decimals what should be the data type???

declare as P type. TYPE P DECIMALS 1
Type P data allows digits after the decimal point. The number of decimal places is generic, and is determined in the program. The value range of type P data depends on its size and the number of digits after the decimal point. The valid size can be any value from 1 to 16 bytes. Two decimal digits are packed into one byte, while the last byte contains one digit and the sign. Up to 14 digits are allowed after the decimal point. The initial value is zero. When working with type P data, it is a good idea to set the program attribute Fixed point arithmetic.Otherwise, type P numbers are treated as integers.
You can use type P data for such values as distances, weights, amounts of money, and so on.

What is the data format of the image buffer from a NI-IMAQ 1394 acquisition?

I am acquiring a framebuffer which I desire to process using my own code.
The configuration is:
Set ATTR_VIDEO_FORMAT 1
Set ATTR_VIDEO_MODE 3
Results in
Get ATTR_IMAGE_WIDTH == 1024
Get ATTR_IMAGE_HEIGHT == 768
Get ATTR_IMAGE_REP == COLORID_YUV422
Get ATTR_BYTES_PER_PIXEL == 4
What is the data layout of this framebuffer?

Robert,
I'm not sure if I understand exactly what you are asking here, but you can use the Get Buffer function call to access the image data and it will coorespond to the image type that you acquired (8 bit integer for monochrome and 32 bit for RGB).
Let me know if this doesn't answer your question.

Smart Album : Inconsistency in the Date Type format used inside Aperture ?

Hello,
After using Aperture 2.0 for some days, I tried to create a Smart Album using as creation option for the Album the Date + "is in the Range" option which is leaving two blank fields for filling the two dates which are supposed to be the date limits of the pictures that the user wants to select.
My OS X is set to the italian language so our date format is the dd/mm/yy type.
When I tried to insert some dates in our format (dd/mm/yy) the SmartAlbum seemed to not work at all (not selecting any picture, or was coming out with weird results).
After checking carefully that there was no filter set which could prevent the correct visualization of the pictures I had no explanation for the problem.
At first I thought that this specific option was buggy as the other Smartalbum creation options (Keywords etc.) seemed to work properly.
Then I had the idea and I tried to use the english format (mm/dd/yy) for the two dates inside the date range fields and to my surprise everything worked properly.
So basically it seems that Aperture recognises the dates correctly only giving in input the american date format mm/dd/yy.
What is not so noice is that there is no check on the date limit correctness so basically it is possible to really mess up with the dates.
I'm also actually surprised the Aperture doesn't complies with the OS X date type which could seem the logical thing to do or at least is not consistent with the date type management inside the program because for example the pictures Dates are instead correctly listed in the List View of the browser according to the OS X date type (dd/mm/yy).
I was wondering what is happening in countries where the date separator is not the "/" but the "." like typically used in Germany which would add another variable to the software routine which is interpreting the date input fields.....
Maybe this could help other non english users who could have been confused like me on the same issue....
Did you notice the same behaviour ? Am I missing something ?

Smart Albums will search in the Folder/Project that is shown at the top of the search HUD as well as all Folders and Projects "below" in your structure. However, it will not search through any Albums in that structure. Here is an example:
You images are always stored in Projects (yellow icons) and lets say this is how it looks:
FolderA/ProjectA (this Project stores: ImageA1, ImageA2)
FolderA/ProjectB (this Project stores: ImageB1, ImageB2)
Let us say that you have two Albums like below but there is an image from ProjectB in AlbumA, which looks like this:
FolderA/ProjectA/AlbumA (this Album has pointers to: ImageA1, ImageA2, ImageB1)
FolderA/ProjectB/AlbumB (this Album has pointers to: ImageB1, ImageB2)
If you create a Smart Album below ProjectA it will only show ImageA1 and ImageA2 since it only search ProjectA and not AlbumA.
This may be the issue you have.
Are you 100% sure that the Project your Smart Album is pointing at does include the images you are trying to search through. As you see above then it won't find them if they are only in the albums below that project.
Here are a few rules that I follow in order to avoid getting confused over where my images are located: A) Only include images in albums below a project that are stored in that project. B) Create all my smart albums at top library level and if necessary add extra filters like project name.
Hope you understand.

Bug? Format choices sometimes don't agree with the data type

I discovered (while experimenting) what seems to be a small bug when editing properties of numerics:
Unless the number is in an integer representation, the special integer formats (Decimal, hex, octal, binary) are greyed out.
So let's start out with a DBL numeric control and open the properties window. We can change the representation on the "data type" tab of the properties dialog to an integer (e.g. I32), and the control immediately changes color accordingly. However, if we go back to the formatting tab, the integer specific formats are still greyed out. They should now be accessible!
Only after exiting the properties dialog and opening it again, the correct format are no longer greyed and can now be selected.

What is an ageing report? What are the data sources used to develop an aging report
Aging refers to values in different time period ranges. Example, the customer (credit) aging report can look like this.
customer (credit) for current period, 0 to 30 days, 30 to 90 days, 90 to 120 days. This is the way aging is classified.
What data sources does one use to get Balance sheet and P&L accounts tables and fields.
For P&L information, you may use 0FI_GL_6 datasource (or 0FI_GL_10 if you use ERP 5.0 version). This datasource reads the same information used in R/3 transaction f.01 (table glt0).
What are the tasks a BW consultant normally performs when he is involved in an end to end implementation project or a full life cycle project?
