What's the easiest way to validate the 2nd date is after the 1st date?

Hi,
I have 2 items, say, date1 and date2.
What is the easiest way to validate that the date2 is after date1? For example, date1 is "07/31/2009", thus date2 must be after "07/31/2009".
Thanks much :)
Helen

Helen:
For the example provided you can create a validation of type 'PL/SQL->pl/sql expression' and provide the expression below
to_date(:p_date2,'mm/dd/yyyy') > to_date(:p_date1,'mm/dd/yyyy');

What is the easiest way to export all tables data from Oracle to MS SQL Server?

Hello MS,
I would like to export all tables from Oracle 11.2 to MS SQL Server 2012 R1.
Using the tool "Microsoft SQL Server Migration Assistant v6.0 for Oracle" did not work for me because there are too many warnings and errors regarding the schema creation (MS cannot know it because they are not the schema designer). My idea is
to leave/skip the schema creation to the application designer/supplier and instead concentrate on the Oracle data export and MS SQL data import.
What is the easiest way to export all tables data from Oracle to MS SQL Server quickly?
Is it:
- the „MS SQL Import and Export Data“ Tool
- the “MS SQL Integration Services” Tool
- not Oracle dump *.dmp format because it is a propritery binary format
- flat file *.csv (delimited format)
Thanks!

Hi lingodingo,
If you want to directly export all tables from Oracle database to SQL Server, I suggest you use SQL Server Import and Export Wizard. Because you just need to follow the wizard with GUI, this is the easiest way.
If you want to make some modification for the tables‘ data before loading to SQL Server, I suggest you use SQL Server Integration Services package. For more details, please refer to the following similar thread:

Easiest way to validate with Struts?..

Hello,
I have a problem with validating a simple form with javascript via Struts validator. It inserts the whole javascript instead <html:javascript formName="whatever"/> and as a result half of the html code that follows gets cut off. I don't know why this happens, maybe because the javascript is so big (although that sounds like nonsense).
Is there a better, simpler way to validate with Struts? I just want something to start working..
Thanks.

Make sure you have validator-rules.xml file in WEB-INF/ folder
Make sure you have validation.xml file in WEB-INF/ folder
Modifty validation.xml file to match your form name (as defined in struts-config.xml)
i think this should be enough

Whats the easiest way to migrate my itunes data from old failing PC to new PC so I can sync on new PC?

I have a failing PC that I sync my Ipad and Iphone to now. I have a new PC that I want to start using for this function. How do I migrate my Itunes Data Etc...so that I can sync on the new PC and not lose my apps, music, pics etc....There has to be a simple-stupid way of doing this. I have already downloaded Itunes on the new PC and just waiting for an answer to go forward.

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

What's the easiest way to back up and restore my hard drive to a new HD

I'm going to upgrade my hard drive to a larger one on my MacBook. I have an external backup drive. What is the easiest way to save all my data (documents, emails, etc) and applications and restore them to the new hard drive in my MacBook? I have Leopard OS.
I've read on the forum everything from using Time Machine to the Disk Utility. I have been backing up everything to my external HD using Time Machine.
Can you point me to a step by step process.

I don't use TM, so here's my method that I've used many times for the same thing you are doing.
How to Clone Using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the backup or destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (journaled, if available) and click on the Erase button. This step can be skipped if the destination has already been freshly erased.
4. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
5. Select the backup or destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
6. Select the startup or source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Now, boot from the clone to be sure it works correctly by opening Startup Disk, selecting the external volume, then clicking the Restart button. If all is well the computer will boot from the external drive. Now shut down the computer and disconnect the external drive. Disconnect the AC adapter and remove the battery. Install the new hard drive. Once you've completed the installation connect the external drive and restart the computer.
Now do the following:
Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.)
2. After DU loads select your new hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size.
Steps 4-6 are optional but recommended for a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.
After formatting is completed use DU to clone the external drive's system back to the new internal drive. The external drive becomes the Source and the internal drive will be the Destination.

Web - What is easiest way to implement User Security and User Profiles

Hi, I am new to these forums and kind of new to Java. Sorry if this is in the wrong forum!
Bit of background to my experience with java
I have been playing about with java for a number of years and have created a few basic programs such as a screen shot tool that allows you to capture to default locations and look at previews first etc. I am now venturing into web related stuff. I work in IT doing systems testing and have done bits of basic development on various things.
What I've done so far
I am using Netbeans IDE 6.7 and MySQL 5.0
I am trying to learn more complex java and have decided to try build a basic web / database system that basically implements adding / amending / deleting data from a MySQL database through web pages. I am now trying to implement basic user access and profiles. I have so far got the following:
- MySQL table with user info - username / password
- JSP page with usual login stuff
- Servlet that validates the username and password - if correct forwards to main menu page.
Its as simple as that - there is nothing stopping you just typing in the URL of the main menu page and going from there.
What I want
I am wanting to eventually get the following:
- User authentication so that you have to logon before you can access anything else
- User profiles that determine what each user can or can't do, restricting the pages / services / options available (i.e. normal user can't delete etc)
- Would it need some sort of session manager to allow multiple users etc?
I appreciate this is a fairly open question but what is the easiest way to start implementing this? Not after specific code as I would prefer to try figger things out myself, but a point in the right direction would be great. It doesn't have to be extremely secure as this is just for me at the minute.
I have spent all day looking at things like session data / url rewriting / security settings in web.xml / bespoke servlets and am now in java overload!

Hi everyone,
I've now actually gone back to the tutorial that I linked to above and implemented that using form login and j_security_check.
Agree with Saish, and although I don't know enough about the other options to give a good reason, using realms and j_security_check just seems to be a bit cluncky and messy. I would also prefer something a bit more generic, that doesn't rely on setting users in glassfish, hence why I started with my own user table.
Anyway, I will leave it as is for now and maybe come back and try one of the other options.
The only problem I can see now is that to add users i will need to go through all the steps of adding users in glassfish and web.xml... Is there a way to do this through a servlet or something so I can have a jsp page to add users that also creats all the other bits for it to work?
Thanks everyone for your help

I am using Iphoto 11 ver 9.4.3 on mac using oxs 10.8.5 i want to export calendar projects to an external hard drive. what is the easiest way to do this? i have tried export and import but it didn't seem to work.

I am using Iphoto 11 ver 9.4.3 on mac using oxs 10.8.5 i want to export calendar projects to an external hard drive. my goal is to store them in an external hard drive so it doesn't use up memory on the mac hard drive. is it possible to copy the specific projects without copying the entire library? what is the easiest way to do this? i have tried export and import but it didn't seem to work.

What do you not understand?
You can duplicate the iPhoto library (command - D ) and delete everything except the project and its photos from the copy and move that
Or
However the calendar takes very little space - it is simpy database entries - it is the photos in the calendar that take space - and for most people you would wnat to keep those photos in your library
you can use a photo in 50 calendars and it still is only one photo in your library - as I explained calenders do not exist as such - they are simply database entries telling iPhotop how to display the calendar - they take almost no space at all

What is the easiest way to create and manage very big forms?

I need to create a form that will contain few hundred questions. Could you please give me some advise on what is the easiest way to do that? I mean for example is it easier to create everything in Word (since it is easier to manage) and than create a form based on that?
My concern is that when I will have a very big form, containing different kinds of questions and with many scripts, managing it during work will be slow and difficult, for example adding a question in the middle of the form which would require moving half of the questions down which could smash the layout etc.
What is the best practise for that?
Thanks in advance

Try using Table and Rows for this kind of forms. These forms will have the same look throught with a question and and answer section..
In the future if you want to add a new section, you can simply add rows in between..
Thanks

What is the easiest way to open an application from Labview?

I need to open an application from labview and depending on a user's selection, load one out of a group of files for the application that is opened. I need to know what is the best or easiest way to open an application and load a file that is used by the application based on a selection.

Here is the response that I got from Cognex when I asked them about how to do this. Do you understand what they are talking about?
In order to do something like this you will probably want to look into the Display Control/SDK for In-Sight. The Display Control gets installed along with In-Sight Explorer and includes a control that can be used in an environment like Labview to communicate with In-Sight sensors while the SDK is an enhanced version of the Display Control that gives you more control and functionality. I am not very familiar with the Labview environment so I will give some code snippets in VB.Net and hopefully you can adjust them as necessary. Specifically I see 3 possible avenues to do this:
1) Using the Display Control you have access to many of the dialog boxes that are used in In-Sight Explorer including the Load Job dialog box. You can spawn this dialog box through a line of code similar to cvsInSightDisplay1.Edit.OpenJob.Execute(). I am not certain if the Labview environment will be able to spawn and display this dialog though. 2) With the addition of the SDK (additional purchase) you can directly access sensor properties including the job. There is a method called LoadJobFile to load jobs from on the sensor and LoadJobFileLocally to load jobs from the host machine. A typical line of code might be cvsInSightDisplay1.InSight.File.LoadJobFile("myjob1.job").3) If Labview cannot handle the dialogs and the SDK is not an option for you then you may still be able to do this using Native Mode commands. Native Mode commands are sent through a socket on the telnet port (typically port 23). Keep in mind that you will need to handle the username/password prompt and response when you first open the socket before issuing any Native Mode commands. The command to load a job file from the sensor would be the Load File command which would be a string similar to "LF myjob1.job". The Native Mode commands are documented in the In-Sight Explorer help file.

I want to use 1 itunes account but with 3 different iphones 2 for the kids and one for me, what is the easiest way to do that?

I want to use 1 itunes account but sync 3 different iphones, 2 for the kids and 1 for me. So I would like to have different programs, songs, apps etc for each phone. What is the easiest way to do that

Agreed heather. Also, if you have three users on the same account how do you keep phone calls and messages from going to all three phones?

I have a mid year 2007 24 inch iMac and will be purchasing a new 27 inch Retina iMac, what is the easiest way to transfer the data and files from my old machine to the new one?

I have a mid year 2007 24 inch iMac and will be purchasing a new 27 inch Retina iMac, what is the easiest way to transfer the data and files from my old machine to the new one?

Following up on this thread,
I have a new iMac on the way and my current is from 2008, never had a problem but I am sure there are internal issues that I would prefer not to transfer.
I have no issues other then the slowness in certain programs and that is the main reason to buy a new one.
Programs like numbers and pages seem to take a longer time to open after I update to Yosemite.
I only use 272GB of 500 GB, my memory is 4GB and I am upgrading to 8Gb and bought the 4.0 processor.
Question:
Is there a way to manually transfer items or would that be a waste of time in that if there are issues they could be anywhere and would transfer anyway?

What is the easiest way to transfer a large imovie project from one computer to another in a different location.

What is the easiest way to transfer an faairly large HD imovie project from one computer to another in a different location. Can you export to drop box? Will the other computer need the exact imovie version?

OK it depends.
If you have a finished movie, you can SHARE/EXPORT MOVIE and create your final movie. Then, depending on the size of the finished movie, you can transfer via dropbox or similar service. Ninety minutes is a very long movie for iMovie, but it may work for you. I would suggest 720P to keep the size down.
If you need to transfer the entire iMovie Project so it can be edited in iMovie at the other end, then you need to transfer the project and event assets to an external hard drive and get the hard drive to the other location.
Directions are here. Follow the directions for 1) Moving or copying Project to external drive. Then 2) Consolidate Media.

What is the easiest way to create alias email addresses in exchange 2013?

For example my official domain is [email protected]
Within my company i want to make it look like certain departments are sending from bicycles.com skateboards.com
and skooters.com and receive to those addresses even though the emails are really going through the
[email protected] domain. but it appears to be coming from three other domains.
appearance is everything. What is the easiest way to accomplish this.
Step by step with examples if possible. I am not well versed in exchange server 2013 yet.
Droid Hacker

In Exchange 2013 you can use the ECP to add additional email addresses to mailboxes. In order for a mailbox to send using an address, that address needs to be set as the reply address. One mailbox cannot send as multiple addresses. Doing that would require
a mailbox for each address. To set a new primary address on a mailbox log into the ECP and choose mailboxes under the recipients option on the left. Then search for the mailbox you want to add the address to and click the edit symbol. Navigate to the
Email Address tab on the left. To set a new primary address you will likely need uncheck the box for "Automatically update email addresses based on the email address policy applied to this recipient". Then click the plus button, enter the new address,
and check the box for "Make this the reply address"
Before you do this you should ensure that the proper MS records exist for these other domains, and that they are properly configured for mail flow. Once you set this as the reply address for a mailbox, that is the address external users will use for replies.

What's the easiest way to add storage to a mac mini. (1TB hard drive but only 32G of real storage). External device, internal or partitioning?

What's the easiest way to add storage to a mac mini. (1TB hard drive but only 32G of real storage). External device, internal or is there some way to partition? I tried doing so but received a message that there wasn't enough free space to partition. Seems like a 1TB drive should have more storage than my Ipad

Its worth confirming what free space you have on your drive:
go to: Apple Menu > About this Mac > More Info > Storage
The bar chart shows how much free space there is on the drive:
Please realise that partitioning does not create extra space so this wont help you.
If your free space is less than 20 % you should get extra storage with an external USB or Firewire drive, any make or model will work.
