Make Y;r Mobile Phone number appear as a Private Number

Sometimes you want to make your call private temporarily or have all calls block your call origin. Find out how to enhance your privacy here.
Step-1
First, look around for a option under your phone's call settings menu called "Hide/Seek My Number"
Step-2
When you select it, it will most likely be set to "network default," which means that displaying Caller ID information would be dependent on your carrier's network setup for your mobile number. Change it to "hide number" to have the phone ignore the network setting and stop reporting your caller ID information.
Step-3
Check if it works by making a test call. You may also need to turn your phone off and back on for the change to go into effect.
Step-4
If it doesn't work or the option is not available, begin your call with *67, if you're in North America. So, for example instead of dialing 1-718-555-0123 you would dial *6717185550123. If in the United Kingdom and Ireland, then dial 141. If in Australia then dial 1831 before the number, for example 183161406459530
JUST DIAL *67 and than the number youre trying to call (Ex.-*67-123-4567)

Useful Tips:
-If using a GSM phone/network, then dialing #31# before the number would block the caller origin for that call.
-If you have your Caller ID info blocked permanently, then dial, *82 in the US or 1470 in the UK, to unblock it only for the next call.
-If its not working as described, call your mobile service provider to have them walk you through what needs to be done. Just remember to emphasise to them on if you want to be able to temporarily block outgoing call info on your own or to block all outgoing caller ID info.
-You may also contact your mobile service provider to see if they can or will block your name from being displayed and showing your location or "Wireless Caller" instead.

Warnings:
-Some carriers/phones don't support seeking your number.
-Blocking your number from being displayed on outgoing calls may cause difficulty getting through to certain numbers that won't accept blocked calls or that need to recognize the incoming number, t.n.t. voicemail might start asking for your mobile number.
-When calling certain toll-free numbers and emergency services your number may still be relayed despite other call blocking methods.

Tips for running queries on Oracle

r-onlineinformation.blogspot.com Tips for running queries on Oracle We encourage the use of PostgreSQL for the labs, to expose students to an excellent open source database.  However, if your syllabus forces you to use Oracle (and all participants at your remote centre are also from universities where they are forced to use Oracle), you can do assignments on Oracle.  Our model solutions will often give syntax errors on Oracle due to non-support for some SQL features in Oracle.  Below are some tips on how you can rewrite the queries to work on Oracle. Oracle SQL Tips: non-standard features, and limitations The following issues are for Oracle 10, and may or may not apply to later versions of Oracle. Oracle does not support the  as  clause, except as part of the "with" statement. In all other cases, just use the same syntax without the "as" keyword, and things should work. To use a single quote in a string, use two consecutive single qu...
