Force disable the menubar or dock appearing when in full screen in MacOS... need this for Sonoma on some applications

This needs to be done on a per-application basis.

Select the application, show package content, edit the plist.info and add:

  ...
  <dict>
  ...
  ...
  <key>LSUIPresentationMode</key>

Oracle string in LONG field to VARCHAR2 without temporary tables or anything else, pure PL/SQL

LONG fields were used in Oracle DB during the Dark Ages to store long text, but they are not selectable and cannot be used in where clauses with LIKE. A multitude of broken solutions exist (to_lob,substr,weird macros, converting the value into new tables, etc...) online to be able to search into this field with a normal query with LIKE, but they are mostly broken. This sample declares a temporary function for the conversion (size up to 4k, it's an oracle limit, some sei you can go up to 32k in PL/SQL but this does not seem the case) and then uses it in a query, ugly but simple.

Errors you could see while handling LONG fields:

ORA-00997: illegal use of LONG datatype
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error

The Long Strange Trip to Java - Patrick Naughton, March 18, 1996

The Long Strange Trip to Java

Note: This is an unabridged, unedited version of the Epilogue of my book, The Java Handbook. My editors fought with three problems, libel, slander and page count. We were out of space, and they were also worried a few of my associates from the last 12 years might want to sue them for things I've recalled about them. Well, I kinda see their point... but then everything I say in here is merely my opinion, and this web publication in no way should reflect the views of Osborne/McGraw-Hill, nor any of their personnel. And if I've insulted anyone in this page to the point that they feel like calling a lawyer, I'll snip them out of it as soon as they contact me. (I should also say that the contents of this page have nothing to do with Starwave Corporation while I'm here). 'nuff said. I've debated with myself for several years about whether or not to write this down. After so much time has passe

Disable oscp

This is usefull when you are experiencing network issues and the apps refuse to open (icon jumping, no window shown) because macOS can't complete its oscp signature verification on binaries. Or just if you want to disable it for other reasons.

Open /etc/hosts and add:

0.0.0.0 ocsp.apple.com

Everything should open normally now.
