Converting Data from 1 Column to 2 Columns in Oracle SQL In this blog post, we’ll explore how to convert data from a single column to two columns in Oracle SQL. The data is stored in a format where start and end dates are concatenated with pipes, and we need to separate these into two distinct columns. Understanding the Data Format The data is stored in the following format: |2020/04/26|2020/05/02|2020/05/03|2020/05/10| Here, each line represents a single task with multiple date ranges.

Understanding the Problem and Objective The question presents a scenario where an iOS application needs to recall the last selected tab when the app is launched again, mimicking the functionality of the iPhone’s phone function. This task involves utilizing the UITabBarControllerDelegate protocol to override the shouldSelectViewController: method, allowing us to track the previously selected tab index. The Role of UITabBarControllerDelegate The UITabBarControllerDelegate is a protocol that enables us to interact with and influence the behavior of a UITabBarController.

Creating a New Column with Previous Date in Pandas DataFrame ============================================== In this article, we will explore how to create a new column in a pandas DataFrame that contains the previous date from an existing date column. This problem is common in data analysis and can be solved using Python’s popular data science library, pandas. Introduction Pandas is a powerful library used for data manipulation and analysis. It provides data structures and functions to efficiently handle structured data, including tabular data such as spreadsheets and SQL tables.

Writing on an Already Opened CSV File from R Studio Introduction As a frequent user of R Studio for data analysis and manipulation, it’s common to encounter scenarios where you need to modify existing files or append new data to them. However, when working with CSV (Comma Separated Values) files in particular, things can get a bit tricky.
