Advice needed on how to keep large amounts of data

Hi guys,
Im not sure whats the best way is to make large amounts of data available to my android  app on the local device.
For example records of food ingredients, in the 100's?
I have read and successfully created .db's using this tutorial.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/devappsflex/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7d49. html
However to populate the database I use flash? So this kind of defeats the purpose of it. No point in me shifting a massive array of data from flash to a sql database, when I could access the data direct from the as3 array?
So maybe I could create the .db with an external program? but then how would I include that .db in the apk file and then deploy it to users android device.
Or maybe I create a as3 class with an xml object init and use that as a means of data storage?
Any advice would be appreciated

You can use any means you like to populate your SQLite database, including using external programs, (temporarily) embedding a text file with SQL statements, executing some SQL from AS3 code etc etc.
Once you have populated your db, deploy it with your project:

  • How to pass large amount of data between steps

    Hi all，
    I have some LabVIEW VIs for data acquisition。
    I need to pass large amount of data(array size >5000000 each time) from one step to another.
    But it is not allowed to set array size larger than 5000000.
    Any suggestion?

    In your LabVIEW code, put the data into a data value reference.  Pass this reference between your TestStand steps.  As an added bonus, you will not get an extra copy of the data at each step.  You will need to use the InPlace element structure to get your data out of the data value reference.

  • How to save large amount of data and memory management

    hi guys,
    I prepared a vi to take measurement of temperature and pressure simultaneously from Agilent 34970A with 34901A. The sampling rate is 1 sample/per second for each channel (20 temperature channel and 2 pressure channel (current). The device has 20 channels and most probably the test will lasts 2 days. So, it means 86400 sample per day totally. Could the attached vi  do this task? I really do not know how the "write to text file.vi" works and use the memory of the pc. And after collecting all data, could I export these data to microsoft office excel to analyse safely? And I really do not know can I work this vi without interrupting. is it possible? I am also open for all other suggests relevant the vi, too. And I wonder that is it possible to build a standalone application to take measurements from DAQ devices (here Agilent 34970A-34901A)  by a pc without labview?

    Hey,
    What I meant by check for an error while measuring is the following:
    you start the program
    If one of your Agilent VIs returns an error (maybe bad initialisation or so) you will still try to continue to measure.
    Even if it is not working, you still continue measuring. Instead you could also check at the end of each loop if an error occured, like this:
    this will only look for an error and stop right away. If you encounter typical errors with apperatus you might want to handle it. A sufficient way to do so might be a state machine that just re-initializes the setup if an error occurs and then continues with its task. Check out this article: http://www.ni.com/white-paper/3024/en
    Anyway, I would recommend to just try it out and see what problems arise, as you might spend hours of improving well working code (:

    I Have the same problem, I switched off location services, maps in data, whatever else maps could be involved in nd then just last nite it chewed 100mb... I'm also on vodacom so I'm seeing a pattern here somehow. Siri was switched on however so I switched it off now nd will see what happens. but I'm gonna go into both apple and vodacom this afternoon because this must be sorted out its a serious issue we have on our hands and some uproar needs to be made against those responsible!

  • Query about clustering unrelated large amounts of data together vs. keeping it separate.

    I would like to ask the talented enthusiasts who frequent the devolper network to tell me if I have understood how Labview deals with clusters. A generic description of a situation involving clusters and what I believe Labview does is shown below. An example of this type of situation is shown for generating the Fibonacci sequence is attached to illustrate what I am saying.
    A description of the general situation:
    A cluster containing several different variables (mostly unrelated) has one or two of these variables unbundled for immediate use and then the modified values bundled back into the cluster for later use.
    What I think Labview does:
    As the original cluster is going into the unbundle (to get original variable values) and the bundle (to update stored variable values) a duplicate of the entire cluster is made before picking out the individual values chosen to be unbundled. This means that if the cluster also contains a large amount of unrelated data then processor time is wasted duplicating this data.
    If on the other hand this large amount of data is kept separate then this would not happen and no processor time is wasted.
    In the attached file the good method does have the array (large amount of unrelated data) within the cluster and does not use the array in more than one place, so it is not duplicated. If tunnels were used instead, I believe at least one duplicate is made.
    Am I correct in thinking that this is the behaviour Labview uses with clusters? (I expected Labview only to duplicate the variable values chosen in the unbundle code object only. As this choice is fixed at compile time it would seem to me that the compiler should be able to recognise that the other cluster variables are never used.)
    Is there a way of keeping the efficiency of using many separate variables (potentialy ~50) whilst keeping the ease of using a single cluster variable over using separate variables?
    The attachment:
    A vi that generates the Fibonacci sequence (the I32 used wraps at ~44th value, so values at that point and later are wrong) is attached. The calculation is itterative using a for loop. 2 variables are needed to perform the iteration which are stored in a cluster (and passed from iteration to iteration within the cluster). To provide the large amount of unrelated data, a large array of reasonably sized strings is provided.
    The bad way is to have the array stored within the cluster (causing massive overhead). The good way is to have the array separate from the other pieces of data, even if it passes through the for loop (no massive overhead).
    Try replacing the array shift registers with tunnels in the good case and see if you can repeat my observation that using tunnels causes overhead in comparison to shift registers whenever there is no other reason to duplicate the array.
    I am running Labview 7 on windows 2000 with sufficient memory so that the page file is not used in this example.
    Thank you all very much for your time and for sharing your Labview experience,
    Richard Dwan

    The deal here is that the bundle and unbundle nodes must be very careful
    when they are swapping elements around. This used to make copies in the
    normal cases, but that has been improved. The reason that the sequence
    affects it is that it affects the algorithm so that it orders the
    element movement so that the algorithm succeeds in avoiding a copy.
    Another, more obvious way
    is to use a regular bundle and unbundle, not
    the named variety. These tend to have an easier time in the algorithm also.
    Technically, I'd report the diagram to tech support to see if the named
    bundle/unbundle case can be handled as well. In the meantime, you can
    leave the data unbundled, as in the faster version.

  • How do I pause an iCloud restore for app with large amounts of data?

    I am using an iPhone app which is holding 10 Gb of data (media files) .
    Unfortunately, although all data was backed up, my iPhone 4 was faulty and needed to be replaced with a new handset. On restore, the 10Gb of data takes a very long time to restore over wi-fi. If interrupted (I reached the halfway point during the night) to go to work or take the dog for a walk, I end up of course on 3G for a short period of time.
    Next time I am in a wi-fi zone the app is restoring again right from the beginning
    How does anyone restore an app with large amounts of data or pause a restore?

    You can use classifications but there is no auto feature to archive like that on web apps.

  • How can I edit large amount of data using Acrobat X Pro

    Hello all,
    I need to edit a catalog that contains large amount of data - mainly the product price. Currently I can only export the document into excel file and then paste the new price onto the catalog using Acrobat X Pro one by one, which is extremely time-consuming. I am sure there's a better way to make this faster while keeping the accuracy of the data. Thanks a lot in advance if any one's able to help! 

    Hi Chauhan,
    Yes I am able to edit text/image via tool box, but the thing is the catalog contains more than 20,000 price data and all I can do is deleteing the orginal price info from catalog and replace it with the revised data from excel. Repeating this process over 20,000 times would be a waste of time and manpower... Not sure if I make my situation clear enough? Pls just ask away, I really hope to sort it out, Thanks! 

  • With journaling, I have found that my computer is saving a large amount of data, logs of all the changes I make to files; how can I clean up these logs?

    With journaling, I have found that my computer is saving a large amount of data, logs of all the changes I make to files; how can I clean up these logs?
    For example, in Notes, I have written three notes; however if I click on 'All On My Mac' on the side bar, I see about 10 different versions of each note I make, it saves a version every time I add or delete a sentence.
    I also noticed, that when I write an email, Mail saves about 10 or more draft versions before the final is sent.
    I understand that all this journaling provides a level of security, and prevents data lost; but I was wondering, is there a function to clean up journal logs once in a while?
    Thanks

    Are you using Microsoft word?  Microsoft thinks the users are idiots. They put up a lot of pointless messages that annoy & worry users.  I have seen this message from Microsoft word.  It's annoying.
    As BDaqua points out...
    When you copy information via edit > copy,  command + c, edit > cut, or command +x, you place the information on the clipboard. When you paste information, edit > paste or command + v, you copy information from the clipboard to your data file.
    If you edit > cut or command + x and you do not paste the information and you quite Word, you could be loosing information.  Microsoft is very worried about this. When you quite Word, Microsoft checks if there is information on the clipboard & if so, Microsoft puts out this message.
    You should be saving your work more than once a day. I'd save every 5 minutes.  command + s does a save.

    I just want to copy files and if the files/folders exist in destination the files should be overwritted.
    Help please, I bougth my first MAC 4 days ago.
    Thanks !

    Select the files/folders on one HD and drag & drop onto the other HD. The copied ones will overwrite anything with the same names.

  • Best way to pass large amounts of data to subroutines?

    I'm writing a program with a large amount of data, around 900 variables.  What is the best way for me to pass parts of this data to different subroutines?  I have a main loop on a PXI RT Controller that is controlling hydraulic cylinders and the loop needs to be 1ms or better.  How on earth should I pass 900 variables through a loop and keep it at 1ms?  One large cluster??  Several smaller clusters??  Local Variables?  Global Variables??  Help me please!!!

    My suggestion, similar to Altenbach and Matt above, is to use a Functional Global Variable (FGV) and use a 1D array of 900 values to store the data in the FGV. You can retrieve individual data items from the FGV by passing in the index of the desired variable and the FGV returns the value from the array. Instead of passing in an index you could also use a TypeDef'd Enum with all of your variables as element of the Enum, which will allow you to place the Enum constant on the diagram and make selecting variables, as well as reading the diagram, simpler.
    My group is developing a LabVIEW component/example code with this functionality that we plan to publish on DevZone in a month or two.
    The attached RTF file shows the core piece of this implementation. This VI off course is non-reentrant. The Init case could be changed to allocate the internal 1D array as part of this VI rather than passing it from another VI.

  • Deleting large amounts of data

    All,
    I have several tables that have about 1 million plus rows of historical data that is no longer needed and I am considering deleting the data. I have heard that deleting the data will actually slow down performance as it will mess up the indexing, is this true? What if I recalculate statistics after deleting the data? In general, I am looking for advice what is best practices for deleting large amounts of data from tables.
    For everyones reference I am running Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 on Solaris 9. Thanks in advance for the advice.
    Thanks in advance!
    Ron

    Another problem with delete is that it generates a vast amount of redo log (and archived logs) information . The better way to get rid of the unneeded data would be to use TRUNCATE command:
    http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96540/statements_107a.htm#2067573
    The problem with truncate that it removes all the data from the table. In order to save some data from the table you can do next thing:
    1. create another_table as select * from <main_table> where <data you want to keep clause>
    2. save the indexes, constraints, trigger definitions, grants from the main_table
    3. drop the main table
    4. rename <stage_table> to <main_table>.
    5. recreate indexes, constraints and triggers.
    Another method is to use partitioning to partition the data based on the key (you've mentioned "historical" - the key could be some date column). Then you can drop the historical data partitions when you need it.
    As far as your question about recalculating the statistics - it will not release the storage allocated for index. You'll need to execute ALTER INDEX <index_name> REBUILD :

  • Storing large amounts of data

    Hello,
    I'd like to use Berkeley DB for logging large amounts of data - i.e. structures that are ~400KB in size and I need to store them ~10 times per second for up to several hours, but I get into quite big performance issues the more records I insert into the database. I've set the pagesize to its maximum (64KB - I split my data into several packages so it doesn't get stored on an overflow page) and experimented with several chache sizes (8MB, 64MB, 2GB, 4GB), but I haven't managed to get rid of the performance issues, independent of which access method I use (although I got the "best" results when using DB_QUEUE, but that varies heavily from day to day).
    To get to the point: Performance starts at "0" seconds per insert (where 1 "insert" = 7 real inserts because of splitting up the data), between the 16750. and 17000. insertion it takes ~0.00352 per insert and when reaching the 36000. insertion it already takes about 0.0074 seconds per insert, and so on ...
    Does anyone have an idea on how I can increase my performance? Because when the time needed for each insertion keeps increasing over time, it's not possible to keep the program running at its intended speed at some point.
    Thanks,
    Thomas

  • Looking for ideas for transferring large amounts of data between systems

    Hello,
    I am looking for ideas based on best practices for transferring Large Amounts of Data in and out of a Netweaver based application.
    We have a new system we are developing in Netweaver that will utilize both the Java and ABAP stack, and will require integration with other SAP and 3rd Party Systems. It is a standalone product that doesn't share any form of data store with other systems.
    We need to be able to support 10s of millions of records of tabular data coming in and out of our system.
    Since we need to integrate with so many different systems, we are planning to use RFC for our primary interface in and out of the system. As it turns out RFC is not good at dealing with this large amount of data being pushed through a single call.
    We have considered a number of possible ideas, however we are not very happy with any of them. I would like to see what the community has done in the past to solve problems like this as well as how SAP currently solves this problem in other applications like XI, BI, ERP, etc.

  • DSS problems when publishing large amount of data fast

    Has anyone experienced problems when sending large amounts of data using the DSS. I have approximately 130 to 150 items that I send through the DSS to communicate between different parts of my application.
    There are several loops publishing data. One publishes approximately 50 items in a rate of 50ms, another about 40 items with 100ms publishing rate.
    I send a command to a subprogram (125ms) that reads and publishes the answer on a DSS URL (app 125 ms). So that is one item on DSS for about 250ms. But this data is not seen on my man GUI window that reads the DSS URL.
    My questions are
    1. Is there any limit in speed (frequency) for data publishing in DSS?
    2. Can DSS be unstable if loaded to much?
    3. Can I lose/miss data in any situation?
    4. In the DSS Manager I have doubled the MaxItems and MaxConnections. How will this affect my system?
    5. When I run my full application I have experienced the following error Fatal Internal Error : ”memory.ccp” , line 638. Can this be a result of my large application and the heavy load on DSS? (se attached picture)
