Please ignore my question. I plugged in a linux machine, the files are free to be moved again. I can not tell you how much i loath PC when comes to file management. it is confusing as hell and takes all the freedom away. A big mess.

Hi, I backuped my C: drive contents to a external storage. My PC is named xyz, but incidentally the external storage drive already has a name xyz and already has files (say file 1- file 100). The backup process automatically xyz as the backup file name and writes backup stuff to it. Fil1 1 to...

when try to install APACHE on xp at work, one of the steps says "can not create folder APPLICATION DATA" under DOCUMENT SETTING", even though the folder is already there? I did not have this problem with other versions of windows operation system. Thanks

thanks

when I type char in places where I am not supposed to on a x-client terminal, the beep sound is always there. It has nothing to do with windows sound control. Is there a command like stty to shut it up? Thanks

thanks

Known Issues: Bug# 6313035 See Note 6313035.8 OERI[kdibc3position] from "bitmap merge" row source Fixed: 11.1.0.7 does this means it is fixed in v11

any suggestions on how to get around this? It is 9.2.0.6. Thanks ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [kdibc3position], [], [], [], [],

two options I can think of: 1) use character string, can be sorted and compared in size, but no math operation. 2) use one date variable (in julian format) and one time variable, which would still allow you to math on them. It is a bit twisted when the timestamp of the second date is earlier...

thanks, guys. it is correct that it is a shared account, without knowing for sure where it came from but I know it is no incident. Tracking command history and files' last modification etc are not enough. However, someone should be able to tell which PC the connection originates. I am wondering...

I work on a sun unix box where a group of people share an account. lately I noticed someone changed my programs and caused jobs to fail couple of times. Is there anyway to track down from which terminal the access comes from (e.g. pc ip address, term id or anything like that?) I am not an admin...

thanks, but I forgot to mention the list of model is very long. I have plan B (loop) and plan C (combined with other programming language), but they are efficient enough, because the data is very large.

Model QTY A 10 A 5 ... A 20 B 10 B 5 ... B 20 ... I want to select randomly 2 records from those where model='A' and 2 records from those where model='B'. Thanks

That is not the way I did it a few years ago. What I eventually want to achieve is to get, say 10 records within each group. For example, 10 random records from model A, another 10 random records from model B, etc. Isn't there a function like random or srand or something? Strange that I could...

thanks to both!
