Some questions from a new dba.

Hello.
I'm on a quest to learn Oracle. But in learning I've hit acouple of things that seem confusing or contradictory. Maybe someone more experienced can help me understand thse.
1) When you mount but don't open the database, you'll get a "ORA-01219: database not open: queries allowed on fixed tables/views only" warning. If I then try and query the "static" data dictionary tables such as "ALL_USERS", I get this warning again. However, it seems like most of the V$ tables can be queries with no problem, such as V$INSTANCE. This seems contradictory, because the manuals describe the V$ tables as dynamic. How is it that I'm supposedly only able to read from "fixed" tables but the dynamic tables seem to be the only ones I can access?
2) When I create a new user, I grant the user the CONNECT role. According to the manual the CONNECT role allows "CREATE TABLE" permissions. However, when I try and create a table as that user I'll get an error (wierd quota errors, actually). However, if I grant the user the RESOURCE role the user can create tables without a problem. I asked my DBA about this an she said this is normal "Don't worry about it", but I can't help but feeling like this is just wrong. Is the manual wrong or did I miss something when I created the user? I don't want to hand out roles I don't need to.
Thanks! If anyone can straighten me out on these I'd really appreciate it.

Actually CONNECT role allows the following privileges:
ALTER SESSION
CREATE CLUSTER
CREATE DATABASE LINK
CREATE SEQUENCE
CREATE SESSION
CREATE SYNONYM
CREATE TABLE
CREATE VIEW
The problem you are having is that while you can create a table, you don't have any quota in a tablespace to create the table in. You need to assign quota to your user on a tablespace.
i.e. alter user ME quota unlimited (or n) on data;
Then you'll be able to create a table. The reason that granting the RESOURCE role allows you to create the table is that the resource role includes the UNLIMITED TABLESPACE privilege which gives you unlimited quota on all tablespaces in the database.
This is a common misconception among many DBA's CONNECT gives you much more than connect to the database, if you just want connect to the database grant CREATE SESSION to the user.
Hope this helps.

Hi there.....some questions from a new musician (on this forum that is)

Hey!
New guy here......37 year old Swede, living in Los Angeles since 1988......guitar player since age 12. Pretty new to the whole computer recording thing, now working in GB3 and have Logic Express.......Some quick questions.......
A decent audio interface?.......Right now Im running through a Line 6 POD XT PRO (the rack mounted version) It works great, for recording guitars (real) and bass and such, but recently aquired a Roland PC-200 MK midi controller, and the POD does not recognize other midi devices...? (understandably, as it is a guitar thingamagig)
All my buddies do Pro tools, and was thinking maybe going the way of that......I understand the M-box works with garageband and Logic, albeit not SO good as let's say a Presonus Inspire or Firebox......What to do?
Still debating wheter going with Protools or Logic? Positives, negatives please......
I heard that ProTools is more live recording, versus Logic is more MIDI friendly.......? Understanfably you can do EVERYTHING you can do on Pro tools on Logic, I guess the difference is, if youre working with it (I am not) then perhaps if time is an issue, you choose one or the other depending on what works best.......
I sit home, record, Time is plentiful, but do plan on recording a CD (solo material) mostly guitars, bass, midi drums and keyboard and vocals......
Anybody with any input, suggestions etc.... will be greatly appreciated.....
I'm glad to be here!
Stefan

Welcome to the forum Stefan.
You are pretty much right on about Logic vs Pro Tools. Logic is mainly a MIDI sequencer (and the best one at that!) with added audio recording capabilities, while Pro Tools is mainly an audio recording DAW with some MIDI capabilities (I hear that Pro Tools 7 is pretty darn good with MIDI, but haven't tried it).
Regarding the interface, what's your budget? If you have the money and are very serious about recording, I would suggest getting the Apogee Rosetta 800 (or 400). If money is tighter than that (as in my case) I would go for the Presonus Firepod. Best in it's price range by many accounts. If that's too many inputs for your needs, then I would suggest it's little brother, the Presonus Firebox.
You'll also want to check into getting some decent monitors (speakers). All this stuff is useless without something to listen to. And they need to be accurate.
Good luck,
X

Some questions from a new user of Inventory

Hi,
We have some issues with our Zenworks 7 Inventory services :
1) When we do quick report or data export, the number of object listed are not representative. Some WS are missing and other WS are in double (but not the same data associate).
2) I've try to set the removal policy but on the server each hour I have the message "No removal policy found".
3) What's the best way to starting from scratch ? I mean, flushing all DB entries, deleting WS object and force a full scan for everyone to be sure that we have an up to date inventory starting from now ?
Any help will be appreciated.
Patrick

Hi,
I follow all .ncf call starting from StartInv.ncf and everything looks fine.
I look in the properties of the server package of the Zenworks server, I see you can define rules (policies) to different level (General, Windows, Netware and Linux). The removal policy is defined at the Windows Level, is it the right place to be ?

Starting fresh of coure doesn't help you, as this does nothing to the
fact that your policies don't work, so we first need to get this fixed,
and *then* we can decide if it's still required or easier to start with
a new DB.
So, in the properties of the server running the removal service in
ConsoleOne, do you actualyl see the WS removal policy in assigned or
effective policies?
If it is there, and you still see the server claiming it can't find a
removal policy, then follow the trail of your startinv.ncf. It calls two
other .ncf files, look at them closely. They should contain your
servername and context as parameters in the program calls. Is there
something wrong with them? (E.G, did you by chance move or rename the
server since installing Zen)?

Some question from a new N97 owner

Hi all,
So I just got my new N97. I have a few questions:
- Configure home screen: So far I can add 2 shortcut bars (each can contain 4 application). I want to add more short cut bars, is there anyway? In the selection list when choosing the bar item to place on the home screen, there is no "shortcut 3" item.
- Screen saver: So far my N97 locks key and screen becomes black and locked very fast (about 10 seconds) no matter how I try to change to settings. Actually there is nothing displayed (back screen) at all. And to wake up, I have to use the lock/unlock slide on the side. Is this normal? I can't touch the screen to wake it up? I got to Menu > Settings > Phones > play with settings there but no use. Do I need an application to have the screen saver feature? Is this a device flaw or do I have to change settings somewhere else?
Thanks in advance.
-Caten

hmm i have a n85 as well hence my response to you in regards to the screen saver. yes it shows those options but eventually it does go all black. unless i missed something with my phone. which is possible as i no longer use it as my primary device. the only option right now for you to customize home screen is to wait for n97 app MyPhone that hopefully will soon be released for your model. nokia phones have never nor will they ever behave in a iphonish fashion hence no possibility to set apps up as you would like. n97 is full of customizations just not exactly how you would like them to be who knows perhaps with future updates it will become even more flexible but for now its either that or waiting for MyPhone to be released. sorry.
ps. i am greatly surprised that n97 would not have a screen saver options at least similar to the n85 that worries me as i am also awaiting arrival of my brand new n97. so hearing all kinds of news makes me a bit concerned about this new phone. time will tell. sorry i dont have anymore news for you.
You know what I love about you the most, the fact that you are not me ! In love with technology and all that it can offer. Join me in discovery....

Some question from a new faceTime user

hi all
I have just downloaded the facetime application to 2 of my macbook pros I have.
1. I could not yet establish a call between these two. the caller side keeps calling without any ring getting to the other side when sometimes it does the application shows a "connecting ..." message long enough (few minutes ) for me to cancel the call.
any ideas ??
2. can someone tell if i can send an HD quality call with a non buit-in camera (for example Microsoft live HD camera)

1. Are you using a different Apple ID on each? I don't know if an Apple ID can call itself. It might be like trying to dial your own phone number.

Why can't I post a question from my new system?

Hello All:
I was just trying to post a question from my new mbp but it wouldn't allow me to do anything. It continually gave me a message highlighted in 'red' that i was;t allowed to modify or post anything. I've been asking questions for quite a while and have never seen this. I also happen to have my older bmp, also logged onto the 'Apple Discussions' site, open beside me. Can anyone explain this to me please? BTW, my new system obviously has Yosemite on it while my older bmp has Lion. Thanks in advance, to all those who respond.

ChitlinsCC, I'm adding your reloaders to my article on how to make using ASC easier.
Here is my ASC work flow...
1) I login.
2) Block the automatic 30 minute logout.
     Unless you do something every thirty minutes you get logged out. The forum software waits to tell you this as long as it can to keep you in suspense ;-) . Filling out a reply is the exception to the thirty minute window.
        Start an auto reloader.
Safari = SafariTabReloader
Firefox = ReloadEvery: "Reload web pages automatically"
Others = Reloaders | Cerberus - Support Center
You need to pick a page that will reload over time without stalling out. It's ASC. I've found my profile display the best to use. I get my Profile page after some logins. It's ASC. Change rccharles to your apple id.
https://discussions.apple.com/people/rccharles?view=discussions
Reply technique
Open a new browser window. Pick some discussion. Open a reply window. As long as this reply window is open, you will stay logged in. The 30 minute times is reset as needed by the ASC software.
3) I open another window to do my normal ASC browsing.
4) I have a FireFox bookmark to goto the discussions that I have participated in. I've modified it to add on the content stuff.
         turingtest2 recommends. Change rccharles to your apple id:
https://discussions.apple.com/people/rccharles/content?filterID=participated~obj ecttype~objecttype%5Bthread%5D
5) Use turingtest2's generated links with the /content suffix as browser bookmark to the ASC discussions:
Site map of Communities and Categories
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2463
6) Adjust the ASC web page layout.
For FireFox
I run with Hiroto's modification to user content. This is the only way these forums are readable for me. How to adjust the format and layout of ASC Web Pages:

7) Read and answer my old posts. I kind of memorize the time I last posted. ( It's way bad that apple eliminated the last poster to a thread. )
8) I use tabbed browsering. From a list of discussions, hold down the command key then click on the link. You get two tabs this way. The original window will keep where you have been.

May be slightly simple question from a new Mac user: Why can't I quit safari? I cannot quit it from top menu bar neither to do it from dock? All other apps are working normally.

Some questions from a newbie...

Hello,
I just switch to the Adobe Design Suite and bought LightRoom too. Since I worked more than 25 years with Corel I have some questions:
01. Is or will there be facial recognition? (like in "Elements")
02. When adding photos from a card is there a way to add the coordinates from a GPS log to the photos?
03. Does noise reduction work with exif values (iso, camera model etc) from the specific photo or is it a "general" reduction?
04. Is there a place I can download more web/HTML templates?
05. When adding keywords and other meta data, can they be used in other programs too? (Will they show up in other graphic programs?) Or is it a specific "LightRoom" thing?
Thanks for any help,
Theo

Hello Pete,
Yes, I do understand that it will take time. But I must focus on Photoshop and Dreamweaver first since these are the programs that I use most of the time on a daily basis. I worked with the demo versions too to get an impression of what I was about to buy.
I worked with a DW version from Macromedia and used Corel for more than 25 years. Since CorelPaint was crashing all the time and more and more people were complaining, I switched radically to Adobe. The reasons I had, besides the crashing, is that I could start fresh and use it with my children now. They have to use it for school purposes etc. Also I believe that Adobe is leading in the world and makes it more universal for us to work with. I found a lot of stuff on the internet like manuals etc. and will go into that soon. I'm aware of the fact that posting here is best done with problems not covered in help, but of course I tried the find it first myself. I must add that although we speak and read English fairly well, the technical aspect is sometimes harder for us to understand and find in English. But again, since it's used so much over the world we choose the English versions.
Seeing the helpful answers I got, I'm glad I posted it.
All the best,
Theo

A few questions from a new tech...

It is based on the conversion process of a Cisco 6500 Series switch (WS-Sup720-3B release) w/MSFC3 from a hybrid mode (CatOS/IOS) over to a native mode. I've found a few conversion processes online however, I do not know which process is the best to use (as some of them seem outdated) and detailed enough:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/switches/catalyst-6500-series-switches/12031-catos-ios-conversion-6500k.html
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/switches/catalyst-6500-series-switches/70273-70273.html
http://www.ciscopress.com/articles/article.asp?p=102093&seqNum=5
Also, another question that I have is about the correct, most up-to-date software. Whenever I use the Cisco software download navigator to search for an applicable image, I see different images based on various network requirements. Are these images applicable to this process?
https://software.cisco.com/download/release.html?mdfid=280829702&flowid=20135&softwareid=280805680&release=15.1.2-SY4a&relind=AVAILABLE&rellifecycle=ED&reltype=latest
Any help would be very much appreciated.

It depends on how complicated your configuration is.
When I did this a long time ago I just did it by hand ie. I didn't use a conversion tool I just created a new configuration in a text editor and then copied in the new configuration.
A lot of the commands in a configuration are defaults and you don't necessarily need to replicate them because you will get a new set of defaults when you convert.
If you have a lot of extra configuration eg. QOS then it may be worth using one. It really depends on how well you know what your switch is currently doing.
In terms of IOS image key things are -
1) feature set ie. you need a feature set that supports all the things you are currently doing
2) memory on your supervisor and whether you have enough
3) module support ie. you need to check the release notes for each release because they may not support all your existing modules

Basic questions from a new mozaic owner

I have some very basic questions about how to use the new mozaic 2G mp3 player. I bought the Mozaic because it has a speaker and sleep timer, but I'm finding it to be much harder to use than other mp3 players that I have had (Ipod shuffle, clix etc). This may reflect my failure to look in the right place but I have to say the "help" section isn't much help.
Here goes:
. I download podcasts to listen to during my morning run. WMP provides an easy to find place in its program, "recently added," which allows the user to just work with those files. As near as I can tell, Creative makes you wade through all of your tracks. Is there some way to create a file to which "recently added" tracks, or specific tracks, can be dumped? How about automatic tagging of these added files?
2. I have several thousand pictures on this hard dri've. Apparently, the Mozaic Centrale
Is going to copy all of them, which strikes me as a waste of space. Is there a way to shut this function off? I couldn't care less if a single photo was added to the centrale program (or whatever it's called). Is it really going to duplicate all of the jpg files?
3. I have the Zen Stone plus speaker which has served me very well. I had similar problems working with whatever Zen was calling its media player and wound up using WMP instead. I"d like to take a run at using the dedicated Zen media player....
I apologize for the basic nature of these questions, but the answers weren't obvious to me from the materials I was able to locate.

A few simple questions from a new Iphone user

Hi a few simple questions, just got an iphone 2g - 2nd hand so not really sure what to expect. Anyway I guess my first question is about mine sometimes being a little slow - when I look at contacts and sometimes when sending a txt it slows down/freezes a little - normal?
Secondly Edge - I havent used it much but when I have its been painfully slow, is this normal - is it always really slow - cause I had read despite not being 3g Edge was actually pretty fast - what exactly is data roaming by the way? I mean I have been switched off as basically I dont wanna use the internet till next month when they change my contract to one I get unlimited access on - is that right?
Im having a problems syncing videos to it - it just wont sync some but will others and Im not sure why - theyre same file type and they used to sync to my ipod touch but now they wont for some reason
Cheers

I have the origina iPhone.
Downloaded 2.0, synced phone with everything UNchecked. Installed 2.0. Synced with all the options checked to reload my data. The iPhone has been great. Noticed a little lag when I opened contacts. Installed the new upgrade, and everything is back, no lag.
Edge is Edge and nothing more. It is slow compared to a strong 3g signal. But is liveable most of the time. Heavy traffic can slow it down to barely usable.
My four wheel drive club has a web site with a large photo section. I was standing out in the middle of parking lot in San Jose, Ca and showing a friend some photos. It opens up a page of small picts to choose from. Select a print and it enlarges, He was amazed at how fast they appeard. Especially given the quantity of photos.

Few questions from a new user

Hi Guys
I've had my 3gs 16GB for about a week now. I am absolutely loving it, but I have a few questions.
I am completely new to apple products. I had never used itunes before I bought my phone.
First question is about the battery. I know this has been greatly discussed and I have searched through the forums and have found just about all of the answers I was looking for, so this is more of a comment than a question. I was a little worried about all the issues people are having with their battery life, so I did a few tests. I am pretty happy with the results. I have the following settings:
wifi - on
notifications - on
brightness - ~40%
bluetooth - off
3G - on
push - off
fetch data - hourly
After 48 hours the battery is at 10%. Usage is at 5 hours which included mostly internet browsing on wifi, about 20 sms messages, and about 10 minutes of calls. This is about what I was expecting. The only question I have about the battery is about charging. I am going to charge it daily and once a month fully drain and recharge. I haven't found out if it is ok to leave it plugged in after it has fully charged. Do I need to take it of the charger when it is fully charged, or does the battery shut off and just use the external power source? Ideally I would like to charge before I go to bed and take it off the charger when I wake up.
Next question is mainly about accessories. I would like a good case that is minimal, but still providing protection from scratches. Are there any good recommendations or is it just kinda personal preference. Also, has anyone tried some of the screen protectors on the market? Can you tell that they are there, or do they give you any problems with the "touch" and "feel" of the screen?
Thanks

I don't use a protective case on my iPhone has I think it spoils the look of it. Instead I have a leather case that provides protection from the screen getting scratched and can be easily taken out when I need to use the iPhone.
The case I got has a soft velveteen interior which protects the screen from scratches. It wasn't cheap (£25) but it is well made and is lovely soft leather, and you can tell it will last.
Here's the link to it:
http://www.knomobags.com/eshop/knomo_product.asp?SS=5&C=84&CA=227&P=394
I have read though that some screen protectors can interfere with the photo sensors on the iPhone (there the 3 little dots that you can see to the left of the earpiece) whereby the screen will remain on or off when it shouldn't be.

2 questions from a new user........

7/26
Hi! Forgive me but I am a new Iphone user and have 2 questions. 1) How/where do you find what the remaining
memory on your phone is after some apps have been added? 2) I have deleted the icon of a free app I downloaded
but understand that does not delete the content of the previously downloaded app. How/where do I delete the
content of a no longer needed app? Many thanks for your assistance. PA Dennis

Number one. Connect the iPhone to your computer, launch iTunes. Select the iPhone under Devices left side of the iTunes window. Select any of the taps to see storage availability at the bottom of the window.
Number two. Select Apps under Library left side of the iTunes window. Right or control click an app then click Delete.
Connect your iPhone to your computer, select the Apps tab from the menu then click Sync.

Questions from a New User

I have just started using LabVIEW 7.1 Student Edition w/ NXT Toolkit. I have a few questions I would like answered.
Loops: In NXT-G, you could make a loop run a certian number of times. How is that done in LabVIEW?
Variables: In NXT-G, Variables could be easily created. In LabVIEW, all I can find is the LOCAL variable. I can't figure this out.
Documentation: Where is a good user manual or set of tutorials?
How on Earth do arrays work?
I'd like it if someone can help me with these.
Team RoboSquad
http:\\teamrobosquad.blogspot.com

Hi RoboSquad -
You certainly ask lots of questions -- a good characteristic for a beginner to have! I don't have all the answers, but hopefully I can address some of your queries.
Loops: sounds like you've worked out the idea that you can watch the loop counter (i) of a while loop and wire a true value into the stop condition terminal when you've finished the number of iterations you want. Albert's comments are correct for "for" loops in full LabVIEW, but you're correct that the NXT Toolkit only includes "while" loops. Auto-indexing will still work; see my comment on arrays.
Variables: local variables are basically "references" to front panel indicators or controls, and can be read or written just like normal variables. But depending on what you're really trying to do, just adding a constant to the block diagram or using wires to pass a value to different parts of your program may be a better solution.
Documentation: the LabVIEW help is pretty extensive and comes with LabVIEW. You can also use the Example Finder to search for examples for a particular topic, including "while" and "array."
Arrays: from your post, it isn't clear to me whether you're completely unfamiliar with what an array is, or you're just confused by LabVIEW's implementation of them. If it's the former (what is an array?), your best bet is to use Google or Wikipedia to build some basic knowledge. If it's the latter (how do arrays work in LV?), try using the Example Finder to find and work through some examples. If you're still confused, try to ask a more specific question. One thing that may be confusing is that, by default, arrays don't have a type. If you drop an array constant on the block diagram, you get an array of <nothings> with a black border. To tell LV what types of values will be in that array, you have to drop a constant of that type inside the black box: a numeric constant, a boolean constant, a string constant, etc. Then the array constant which change color to match the data type it will hold, and you'll be able to type in values for the different elements of the array. Maybe that's the key realization you're missing?
Debug gray-out: when you turn on Execution Highlighting on a LV block diagram, LV will gray-out parts of the program it hasn't executed yet. Once the sensors have been read and are ready to be displayed, the meter indicator should get "re-colorized."
Input dup: "dup" is an abbreviation for "duplicate," meaning you'll get back the same value that you wired into "Input." This is purely an aesthetics thing; it makes block diagrams a little less messy. Rather than wiring one value separately to a whole bunch of subVIs in your program (and having wires going around all of your subVIs), you can instead wire that same value "through" each of the subVIs. This results in a clean-looking diagram where the subVIs look like traincars sitting on a "railroad track" of wires.
Whew! That was certainly a long post, but I hope it gave you some new ideas to investigate. Let us know when you have more questions!

Some questions about the new Galaxy SIII

Ok, I am looking into the new SIII and there are a few details that I can not seem to find the answers to and considering I work at a Verizon Retailer I would like to know as much as possible on this particular phone. Especially since I am thinking about purchasing it myself.
1. How are the speakers? Are they loud enough to hear over a group of people talking and still get good quality sound?
2. How easy is the screen to crack and if it cracks does the entire screen "spiderweb" like the iPhone immediately does or will it do what my Breakout did and crack in one weak spot but still work fine and make it so the rest isn't as susceptible to cracking the next time its dropped.
3. How "music oriented" is this device? I am playing Pandora almost 90% of my day and I want a good phone for music in particular.
4. Random and I'm not sure if anyone can answer this, what is the quality of the voice recording software? How accurate/ sensitive is it? I like to record my own songs and if I could record some of my ideas onto my phone it would be so much more convenient.
5. Video and camera are supposed to be amazing? Is that true?
6. How is the memory/ storage? One of the biggest problems i have with cellphones is my storage is constantly full. What are the odds of me filling this phone?
I'm sure there will be other questions that I will have but for right now this is all I can think of. Thank you so much for your time.
Katie

What kind of phone do you have now? That knowledge would help when answering, but my input:
1. Speaker is about the same as any smartphone. You won't get "full sound" without external speaker(s). Bluetooth headphones or earplugs are the way to go.
2. There is at least one thread about displays breaking. I believe most of those people were carrying it in their pants pockets. I carry mine in a holster on my belt. I posted a link to a video from a site that "torture tests" phones. The SG3 was dropped several times and did not break. Could it? Sure.
3. I'd say it's as set up for music as other phones.
4. Haven't used voice recording apps.
5. Camera and video are excellent.
6. Buy the 32GB version. If you need more memory than that, buy extra memory.
Sorry I can't offer more.
