Anyone have on opinion on the usage of SECUREFILE LOBs for spatial data?
Hi folks,
From everything I read the usage of SECUREFILE LOBs over BASICFILE LOBs appears to be a nobrainer.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/options/compression/overview/securefiles-131281.pdf
Yet the default table creation remains set to create BASICFILE LOBs so my 11g spatial data is still sitting in BASICFILE LOBs (also I need to push it to and from 10g for the moment).
Should we all be changing over to SECUREFILE LOB storage as a matter of course on 11g? Is there a big payoff for VARRAY storage beyond compression? A little payoff?
Oracle says SECUREFILE LOBs "dramatically improve performance". Hey, I want some of that!
http://www.oracle.com/newsletters/sap/products/database/oradb11g-features.html
But yet there just has not been much traffic on the topic.
Pro Oracle Spatial mentions weakly on page 250 that
"Secure File LOBs are expected to be faster than BASIC LOBs".
but seems to only be referring to the spatial index.
Here Godfrind says to use them with points clouds but only trumpets the compression aspect.
http://www.ncg.knaw.nl/Studiedagen/09PointClouds/presentations/PointCloud_14_AlbertGodfrind.pdf
For those of us using ArcSDE, its pretty easy to add the SECUREFILE LOB keyword to the dbtune keyword that governs creation of the spatial column. But not a peep on the topic from the ESRI folks that I can find.
Anyone have any experiences or opinions to share? I am hoping to finally leave 10g behind one day this year and putting together a migration plan. Should converting the LOBs be a first day bullet item or just something to consider sometime down the road?
Thanks!
Paul
I have been writing on the benefits of rounding ordinates on storage and performance.
That series has not yet been finished and fully published but my main finding (backed by stats/graphs) is that rounding ordinates does have an effect on performance as average coordinates per feature increases.
As part of the work I also looked at SECUREFILE LOB storage in the hope that some sort of zlib/rle etc compression of the sdo_ordinates would substantially reduce storage size and thus increase performance.
The reason I looked at this is because a customer has migrated from SDEBINARY to SDO_GEOMETRY (though most others are going from SDEBINARY to SDE.ST_GEOMETRY) and saw a substantial increase in storage costs. They also have taken a performance hit in some aspects of their operations but that may be due to ArcSDE programmer SDO_GEOMETRY access issues rather than any real issues with Oracle performance (though the perception is very much that Oracle is to blame). SDEBINARY was always a compressed storage format and with SDE.ST_GEOMETRY being WKB (of some description) also has a low storage footprint.
The result of my work on LOB storage, though not published, is that I agree with Paul: there is little benefit for a lot of pain.
However, I do still the whole question of storage size as being an area of benefit if reductions could be made as this is a necessary precursor for spatial being able to reap benefits if column-oriented storage ever migrates down to standard Oracle database.

Time Machine will not let me restore from backups after June, 2013. I can see the files on the external hard drive but Time Machine skips all of them and goes back to June, 2013. Does anyone have any idea what the problem is?

And why not? Apple is selling these things like BigMacs. They can't make enough of them. You've been suffering since May because you refuse to get a decent router.
Can you imagine if a company that makes a refrigerator told me that I needed to upgrade my electrical system to rectify a problem with their device? What kind of response IS that?!?!
What if the problem with their device is that it requires a new-fangled "grounded" outlet and your circa 1890 house doesn't have grounded outlets. Would you refuse to purchase a $ 25 adapter on principle? -
Does anyone have more information on the virus disguised as adobe flashplayer
Does anyone have more information on the virus disguised as adobe flashplayer that was released last Thursday 5 Apr 12. Can you simply use time machine to reload the entire system from backup to make sure you don't have the virus.
On ninemsn TECH news: It's called flashback trojan
The computer security industry buzzed Thursday with warnings that more than a half-million Macintosh computers may have been infected with a virus targeting Apple machines.
Flashback Trojan malware tailored to slip past "Mac" defenses is a variation on viruses typically aimed at personal computers (PCs) powered by Microsoft's Windows operating systems.
The infections, spotted "in the wild" by Finland-based computer security firm F-Secure and then quantified by Russian anti-virus program vendor Dr. Web, come as hackers increasingly take aim at Apple computers.
"All the stuff the bad guys have learned for doing attacks in the PC world is now starting to transition to the Mac world," McAfee Labs director of threat intelligence Dave Marcus told AFP.
"Mac has said for a long time that they are not vulnerable to PC malware, which is true; they are vulnerable to Mac malware."
Dr. Web determined that more than 600,000 Mac computers may be infected with Flashback, which is designed to let hackers steal potentially valuable information such as passwords or financial account numbers.
Hackers trick Mac users into downloading the virus by disguising it as an update to Adobe Flash video viewing software.
Apple has long boasted that Windows machines are more prone to hacking than Macs.
Computer security specialists contend that the reason for the disparity was that since most of the world's computers were powered by Windows, hackers focused on systems that promised the most prey.
As the popularity of Macs has soared, so has the allure of hacking Apple operating systems, according to Marcus.
"There has been a significant increase in Mac malware in the last several quarters, so what we've seen with the Flashback Trojan isn't particularly surprising," Marcus said.
"Cybercriminals will attack any operating system with valuable information, and as the popularity of Macs increase, so will attacks on the Mac platform."
Computer users, no matter their operating systems of choice, need to protect machines with tactics including up-to-date anti-virus programs and avoiding risky habits such as opening files or clicking links from unknown sources. -
My iPad2 has repeatedly refused to update to iOS7, whether connected to a PC or not. The error message indicates an unknown error has occurred, with error code 6. Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be and how to solve it? Many thanks.
Hi
I followed this guy's instructions and it worked:
http://evsiphone.blogspot.com/2009/05/iphone-iphone-could-not-be-restored.html
I did disable the security (AVG and Zone Alarm) when I tried on my own PC. My wife's laptop which eventually got it working also uses AVG and Zone Alarm but on an XP O/S whereas my PC is Vista - maybe this is why.
Cheers for you help.

I have an early 2008 Mac Pro, 8 gb ram with a Dell 27” display and a 42” LG TV. I am thinking about upgrading the stock ATI Radeon 2600 graphics card for better resolution, preferring 2 dvi outputs or 1 dvi and 1 vga vs 1 dvi and a mini. I don't do a lot of Final Cut Pro, gaming, etc. I am interested in best value for the graphics card.
Does anyone have any suggestions on the best graphics card for these larger displays for the best value?
Thanks,
KevinI recommend you install nothing older than the Apple-firware 5770, about US$250.
RE: Mac Pro Replacement Graphics cards
1) Apple brand cards,
2) "sold in the Apple store" cards, and
3) "Mac Edition" cards ...
... show all the screens, including Boot up screens, Safe Mode, Installer, Recovery, debug screens, and Alt/Option boot screens. At this writing, these choices include:
1) Apple brand cards:
• Apple-firmware 5770, about US$250** works near full speed in every model Mac Pro, Drivers in 10.6.5
• Apple-firmware 5870, about US$450
2) "sold in the Apple store" cards
• NVIDIA Quadro 4000, about US$1200
• NVIDIA Quadro 5000, about US$2500
3) "Mac Edition" cards -- REQUIRE 10.8.3 or later:
• SAPPHIRE HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 MAC Edition, about US$480** Vendor recommends Mac Pro 4,1
• EVGA GTX 680 Mac Edition, about US$600
The cards above require no more than the provided two 6-pin aux power connectors provided in the Mac Pro through 2012 model. Aux cables may not be provided for third-party cards, but are readily available.
If you are Meet ALL of these:
• running 10.8.3 or later AND
• don't care about "no boot screens" etc AND
• can re-wire or otherwise "work out" the power cabling, THEN:
You can use many more cards, even most "PC-only cards" -

I just purchased a 3TB Time Capsule. I live in Italy and have 220V power. The Time Capsule is rated for that, but the cord says 125V. Can I use this cord with an adapter, or do I need to buy a new cord at an Italian store?
Due to the kind of plug used the US power cord is rated at the 125v value.. and legally we cannot advise you to use on higher voltages.. although I have never had issues in Australia.. 240v.
But adapters from your Euro power plug to US are generally ugly .. unsightly things.. and often sit high above the socket and are none too stable.. I agree with Bob.. just go out and buy a standard figure 8 power cord.. check with Apple in Italy for a white one.. if you are going to have it on show.. black are far more common. Or even check ebay for a standard power Apple power cord as a number of items they sell use the figure8 socket. -
My HP (USB connected) and Epson (wireless) printers keep losing their connection with my Mac mini. I have to physically disconnect the HP and then reconnect for the Mac to find it. Turning off the wireless Epson doesn't resolve anything. All software/drivers have been updated.

if i get an i pad with 3 g service capability do i have to use it in order for the i pad to work or can i just use the wifi part because i dont have the extra money to pay for a data plan
If you do get 3G, you only use cellular when wifi is not available. You pay by the month for a 3/4G plan.

It sounds like you are talking about an iPhone that has been Activation Locked. This article explains:

If so, the iPhone can never be unlocked without the original Apple ID and password. This is an anti-theft measure. -
