Best way to calculate a duration

Hi Everybody,
loading data I have to calculate a key figure as a duration..it means as result from the difference between a start and end timestamps..
how do you think would be the best way to calculate this keyfigure?
I would rather prefer to do it in the update rule..
I am going to appreciate any idea.
Best regard,
FedeX

Hi
It all depends upon the requirement. If you have a separate key figure in cube and you are calculating the value in update run it will increase the size on the cube a bit and loading process but will help to run the query fast. But if you create a calculated key figure on cube when you execute the query the value is calculated when query is running and increase query execution time.
So its a kind of trade off to see how often you run query and often you load cube
Thanks

Best way to calculate maximum of many columns/values per row

Hello,
for a new report with some joined tables I have to calculate the last change date. Since every table has a creation and a (last) modification date, I need to get the maximum value from 8 columns to display it.
Of course I can compare all values by pairs or create a PL/SQL function. But maybe there already exists a fast and easy way to gain this date?
My query so far. Each of the tables has a cr_date and mod_date column:
SELECT
    egvg.baugruppe_nummer || egvg.anlagennummer || egvg.geraetenummer AS systemnummer
    , '=' || egvg.baugruppe_nummer || egvg.anlagennummer || egvg.geraetenummer AS systemnr2
    , egvg.gebrauchsname AS gebrauchsname
    , NVL2(egvr.raumkode, '+' || egvr.raumkode, NULL) AS raumkode
    , egvg.lieferant AS lieferant
    , CASE egvgs.kabelanschluss WHEN 1 THEN 'ja' WHEN 0 THEN 'nein' ELSE NULL END AS kabelanschluss
    , egvges.nennleistung_kva AS nennleistung
    , NULL AS letzte_aenderung
    , CASE WHEN egvg.status_id = -1 THEN 'GERÄT GELÖSCHT' WHEN egvges.status_id = -1 THEN 'EDATEN GELÖSCHT' ELSE NULL END AS status
FROM
    egv_geraete egvg
    LEFT JOIN egv_geraetestamm egvgs ON egvgs.id = egvg.geraetestamm_id
    LEFT JOIN egv_geraetestamm_edatenstamm egvges ON egvges.geraetestamm_id = egvgs.id
    LEFT JOIN egv_raeume egvr ON egvr.id = egvg.raum_id
    LEFT JOIN egv_edaten_sfp egvsfp ON egvsfp.id = egvges.sfp_idThank you,
Stefan

Almost anything would be better than that slow-by-slow loop processing.
You don't need a procedure you should just use MERGE for that. See the examples in the MERGE section of the SQL Language doc
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/statements_9016.htm
MERGE INTO bonuses D
   USING (SELECT employee_id, salary, department_id FROM employees
   WHERE department_id = 80) S
   ON (D.employee_id = S.employee_id)
   WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET D.bonus = D.bonus + S.salary*.01
     DELETE WHERE (S.salary > 8000)
   WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT (D.employee_id, D.bonus)
     VALUES (S.employee_id, S.salary*.01)
     WHERE (S.salary <= 8000);

Whats the best way of representing a duration

I need to record the duration of a process - it could be something like 13 years 123 days and 2 hours, or it could be 5 minutes 2 seconds. I'm using Sybase SQL
As far as I can see the date types are limited from 1753-9999 - there's no mention of the Interval type. Does Sybase have an equivalent?
I'd rather not convert to milliseconds and save as a long, as data may be processed using Delphi and I'm worried about how that'll parse it (leap years and the like).
Cheers
Bryan

The input varies, I may be supplied with 10 years 4 months, I may be supplied with 3 days 2 hours.
The issue is that Sybase has no INTERVAL type, and its datetime type doesn't allow years less than 1753.
At the moment, to get the duration, you subtract (for example via DATEDIFF()) 1970-Jan-01 00:00:00.000 from the value saved in the database.
I just want to know if there's a better way. The Java isn't the problem so much as the limitations of the database.

What's the best way to calculate table usage in Mb?

Given a table structure, and knowing it will receive 30.000 new entries on each month, how do I calculate the table growth in kb?
Also, how can I calculate initial disk ocupation from the table?
Is there an equation or formula that I can apply using column definition as params?
That's one of the tables on my application I have to calculate:
CREATE TABLE "LOG_PESQUISA"
(     "COD_LOG_PESQUISA" NUMBER(10,0) NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "TXT_PCHAVE" VARCHAR2(100),
     "IND_DIGITAL" NUMBER(1,0) NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "VLR_TOTALFISICO" NUMBER(9,0) NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "VLR_TOTALDIGITAL" NUMBER(9,0) NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "IND_FISICO" NUMBER(1,0) NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "TXT_CODIGO" VARCHAR2(50),
     "TXT_BOOLEAN_TYPE" VARCHAR2(3),
     "IND_DATA" NUMBER(1,0) NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "DAT_INI" DATE,
     "DAT_FIM" DATE,
     "COD_COLECAO" NUMBER(10,0),
     "COD_CREDITO" NUMBER(10,0),
     "VLR_EDICAO" NUMBER(5,0),
     "IND_TAMANHO" VARCHAR2(2),
     "IND_PUBLICADAS" NUMBER(1,0) NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "IND_SOBRAS" NUMBER(1,0) NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "IND_LUI" NUMBER(1,0) NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "IND_AUI" NUMBER(1,0) NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "COD_USU_INC" VARCHAR2(30) NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "DAT_INC" DATE NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "ID_CREDITO" NUMBER(10,0),
     "IND_PCHAVE" NUMBER(1,0) NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "IND_HEADLINE" NUMBER(1,0) NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "IND_LEGENDA" NUMBER(1,0) NOT NULL ENABLE,
     CONSTRAINT "LOG_PESQUISA_PESQUISA_PK" PRIMARY KEY ("COD_LOG_PESQUISA") ENABLE
/

The most accurate approach would be to
1) Create the table
2) Load it with some sample data. Make sure that the sample data is as close to reality as possible (i.e. if txt_pchave will be 90 characters 20% of the time, 50 characters 50% of the time, 10 characters 20% of the time and NULL 10% of the time, make sure your sample data reflects that).
3) Query DBA_SEGMENTS to see how big the table is
SELECT segment_name table_name, sum(bytes)/1024/1024 MB
FROM dba_segments
WHERE segment_name = 'LOG_PESQUISA'4) Multiply by the number of rows that you really expect. You might load 3,000 records in step 2, for example, so you'd multiply by 10 to get the size if you loaded 30,000 records.
You can extend this to look at the size of the index(es) relatively easily. If you are doing more than straight inserts, you would also want to simulate that to account for things like row migration, empty blocks, etc.

Best Way to calculate totals from query

Could someone point me in the right direction to add up my
data and distinctly show it in my query?
I have a table with the following fields:
id, team_id, compname, teamname, totallost
I want to add up the "totallost" row where the "team_id" and
"compname" fields are the same...then show the compname with the
sum of the totallost once in my table and determine who is
winning.

Thank you for the great help. This code works well, but is
there a way to display the highest totallost and differentiate
between competition names? My example is for one compname, but the
table will have multiple compname's and I want to build a table
showing only the highest totallost for each compname.
You guys have been a great help. I learned something new
today already.

Best way to calculate these steps?

I have a canvas with something at a point and when the user enters in a new point, to move it to there. The issue is that i want to move it "evenly" and smoothly.
If abs( x - newX ) == abs( y - newY ), then there's no issue. Just move +/-1 in each direction. The issue becomes when the diff.'s in the x points is not the same as the diff's in the y points. What algorithm would i use to make it move in a straight line to the point, in consistent steps?

Suppose you want to move from (x0,y0) to (x1, y1) as t goes from 0 to 1.
Then you want x(t=0) to be x0 and x(t=1) to be x1, so
x(t) = x0*(1-t) + x1*(t)Note that there is nothing magical about this being along the x-axis. The same reasoning yields:
y(t) = y0*(1-t) + y1*(t)
it's just a linear parameterization using simple shape functions where 0 <= t <= 1.

Best way to ask user for duration ??

I am wondering what the best way to set up a dialog to ask the user for a duration is ?
I need to query the user for the following duration example 1 month 3 days 5 hours 15 mins
I have tried messing around with JSpinners with date formats but they really only work with fixed calendar dates not calendar durations...
Any ideas on a neat approach..
Currently i have an individual number spinner for each of the items which looks ugly and is hard to manage as you have to take care of up to 23 hours but 24 is one day so one day etc etc..
Thanks in advance

You continue along the same lines; keep the DTO in the session as an attribute. When you display your JSP, read the appropriate values for choices from the DTO and set your checkboxes/ radio buttons to 'selected' if they should be.
When the page is submitted, read the parameters from the form submit and update your session attribute ( DTO ) to reflect any changes the user might have made like selecting a new option or deselecting a previously selected one.

Best way to remove duplicates based on multiple tables

Hi,
I have a mechanism which loads flat files into multiple tables (can be up to 6 different tables) using external tables.
Whenever a new file arrives, I need to insert duplicate rows to a side table, but the duplicate rows are to be searched in all 6 tables according to a given set of columns which exist in all of them.
In the SQL Server Version of the same mechanism (which i'm migrating to Oracle) it uses an additional "UNIQUE" table with only 2 columns(Checksum1, Checksum2) which hold the checksum values of 2 different sets of columns per inserted record. when a new file arrives it computes these 2 checksums for every record and look it up in the unique table to avoid searching all the different tables.
We know that working with checksums is not bulletproof but with those sets of fields it seems to work.
My questions are:
should I use the same checksums mechanism? if so, should I use the owa_opt_lock.checksum function to calculate the checksums?
Or should I look for duplicates in all tables one after the other (indexing some of the columns we check for duplicates with)?
Note:
These tables are partitioned with day partitions and can be very large.
Any advice would be welcome.
Thanks.

>
I need to keep duplicate rows in a side table and not load them into table1...table6
>
Does that mean that you don't want ANY row if it has a duplicate on your 6 columns?
Let's say I have six records that have identical values for your 6 columns. One record meets the condition for table1, one for table2 and so on.
Do you want to keep one of these records and put the other 5 in the side table? If so, which one should be kept?
Or do you want all 6 records put in the side table?
You could delete the duplicates from the temp table as the first step. Or better
1. add a new column WHICH_TABLE NUMBER to the temp table
2. update the new column to -1 for records that are dups.
3. update the new column (might be done with one query) to set the table number based on the conditions for each table
4. INSERT INTO TABLE1 SELECT * FROM TEMP_TABLE WHERE WHICH_TABLE = 1
INSERT INTO TABLE6 SELECT * FROM TEMP_TABLE WHERE WHICH_TABLE = 6
When you are done the WHICH_TABLE will be flagged with
1. NULL if a record was not a DUP but was not inserted into any of your tables - possible error record to examine
2. -1 if a record was a DUP
3. 1 - if the record went to table 1 (2 for table 2 and so on)
This 'flag and then select' approach is more performant than deleting records after each select. Especially if the flagging can be done in one pass (full table scan).
See this other thread (or many, many others on the net) from today for how to find and remove duplicates

Best way to handle multiple currencies

I have a requirement that users should be able to report against an OLAP cube in a currency of their choice (from a list of about 20) and was wondering what the best way to handle this might be.
One option would be to have a currency dimension containing the list of valid currencies and then to pre-calculate measures in each of the currencies and store them in the cube. However the downside of this is that the resultant cube would be 20 times larger than a cube in a single currency, take longer to maintain etc. I could of course partition the cube by currency to improve reporting performance since users would only report in one currency at a time.
Another alternative would be to dynamically calculate the measures based on exchange rates - I guess this could either be done in the cube itself or as part of the reporting code. However since exchange rates are daily, this would obvioulsy prevent me from aggregating data up the time dimension (all measures are at the day level).
Is there any standard way of doing this and what are the pro's and con's?
Thanks,
Chris

Sorry - messed up - I should have posted this in the OLAP forum.....

Best way to mix multiple camera angles from multiple performances?

There has to be a slick way to do this, but I can't seem to figure it out. I'm hoping someone can offer their advice on the best way to approach this project. (I'm using Premiere Pro CS4)
I have footage from 2 performances of a high school play that I want to mix together, with 2 cameras used each night:
Cam1: Friday Right
Cam2: Friday Center
Cam3: Saturday Wide Left
Cam4: Saturday Wide Right
I only had 2 cameras, but I wanted to capture 4 different angles that I could later mix and match. The problem is that, as live performances go, you can't count on exact timing from night to night. It's really simple to do multi-camera editing for one night with the Multicamera Monitor (painfully simple), which works great for the 2 angles that were filmed on the same performance, but if I try to do it with footage from different nights, it only takes about a minute for actions onstage to be so far off between the two nights that I can't switch between cameras with reasonable accuracy.
Since I will be going back and forth many times among 4 clips, the ideal solution that I have come up with (but I don't think Premiere can do) is to have the ability to set markers or keyframes at certain locations that basically say "switch to MM:SS on camera X now" without actually trimming clips and overlaying them into a single video track. So basically determining which camera is "Live". This would let me do rolling edits without having to create a new clip every time I want to switch to that camera angle.
I may be missing something very simple or over-analyzing something that really won't be that bad, but I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around the best way to approach cutting back and forth among the same 4 unsynchronized camera angles numerous times. If nayone has a suggestion I'd love to hear it.
Thanks,
-keen

Time - being in sync...
Most performances like that shot ( for like a music video ) are done to recorded music ( lip sync and play to recorded music ) ..so timing stays the same to the music... dont know what kind of performance you shot but this gives you an idea how tough it is to keep timing for music performances.

If you can't just use one night as suggested earlier by Jim and Stan....I would say bite the bullet and just do what you dont want to do...
make subclips ( trim clips or whatever ) and forget about rolling edits...
You might want to consider putting stuff in 4 sequences... day 1, day 2, day 3, day 4...
make a 5th sequence called "rough cut " or something...
each time you take a "clip" from one of the 4 sequences move that clip up one video channel ( and copy / paste to your 5th sequence )..which then gives you a visual quick guide what you have USED from the sequences...so you dont waste time scrubbing through stuff you already put into sequence 5....
You may be able to choose just ONE sound track from one night and just use THAT...and pick shots that FIT those moments in time OK from all 4 sequences....you can play with duration / time of a small clip ( as it is unlinked to the sound in this scenario ) to make it FIT better...but that would be very subtle changes...
ps...I keep forgetting...some people use the camera to record sound instead of a sound mixer, recorder, etc...so if thats your case what I suggested at bottom of mssg probably would not work...using duration / time...unless its REALLY minor adjustment...hmmmm, maybe export just the sound from a single performance and try using that as your ONE sound file for the performance...I really dont know what you would do if you recorded sound with the cameras...as I would never do that I dont know what to suggest if thats the case...

Best way to handle large files in FCE HD and iDVD.

Hi everyone,
I have just finished working on a holiday movie that my octagenarian parents took. They presented me with about 100 minutes of raw footage that I have managed to edit down to 64 minutes. They have viewed the final version that I recorded back to tape for them. They now want to know if I can put it onto a DVD for them as well. Problem is the FCE HD file is 13Gb.
So here is my question.
What is the best way to handle this problem?
I have spoken to a friend of mine who is a professional editor. She said reduce the movie duration down to about 15mins because it's probably too long and boring. (rather hurtful really) Anyway that is out of the question as far as my oldies are concerned.
I have seen info on Toast 8 that mentions a "Fit to DVD" process that purports to "squash" 9Gb of movie to a 4.7Gb disk. I can't find if it will also put 13Gb onto a dual layer 8.5Gb disk.
Do I have to split the movie into two parts and make two dual layer DVD's? If so I have to ask - How come "Titanic", 3hrs+ fits on one disk??
Have I asked too many questions?

Take a deep breath. Relax. All is fine.
iDVD does not look at the size of your video file, it looks at the length. iDVD can accomodate up to 2 hours of movie
iDVD gives you different options depending on the length of your movie. Although I won't agree with your friend about reducing the length of your movie to 15 minutes, if you could trim out a few minutes to get it under an hour that setting in iDVD (Best Performance though the new version may have renamed it) gives you the best quality. Still, any iDVD setting will give you good quality even at 64 minutes
In FCE export as Quicktime Movie NOT any flavour of Quicktime Conversion. Select chapter markers if you have them. If everything is on one system unchecked the Make Movie Self Contained button. Drop the QT file into iDVD

Best way to remove applications and unneeded files

I have an Imac running slow. Duo Core processor. 4 mgs Ram. Disabled Java in Safari. Getting all my photos off the computer. Safari runs slow. Beachball forever. Have removed past Mac Keeper. Want to know the best way (Until I can add more RAM, if I can, to speed up my mac. I have had to purchase Adobe Cloud to replace Photoshop etc and want to remove all files on my computer not needed for Adobe and any other files slowing down my computer. Also, need Safari to be working. I wait for ever for pages to load and to access Gmail. Want to defragment my hard drive as well.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Empty the trash in the Dock as well as iPhoto’s trash!
Open up your application folder & go through all your apps. Trash all the apps you no longer want and/or use.
An easier way to do this is to open the Application folder in list view & press the Command+j keys.
In the the dialog that appears, click the "This Window Only" button & the "Calculate All Sizes" check box.
Wait a bit until your file & folder sizes have all been calculated, then click the "Size" column to sort your apps from the fattest to the most anorexic.
Get rid of all your photo files you don't want and/or need. Same goes for those pics off the websites you downloaded (gifs, jpegs, etc.). Or transfer/move them all to a photo/movie storage site like ImageShack and Photobucket, 2 of the most popular FREE storage sites.
Get rid of all your video & music files you no longer view and/or listen too. Especially, if you already have the actual CD/DVDs or you can later redownload from a website. Or transfer them all to a FREE video/movies and/or music storage site.
Use Spotlight to make sure you got rid of everything. You can even trash directly from Spotlight! Better yet, download this FREE software called Find File. This app puts Spotlight to shame (works w/Mountain Lion).
Drag what you don't want and/or need to the trash. Better yet, download this neat little shareware app *demo* called AppZapper. It basically does all the work for you by not only trashing the apps but the apps preference files, caches & all its associated files.
Another software that does the above is AppDelete. Best of all this software is free!
Burn what you want and/or need onto CDs or DVDs. Not everyone has the luxury of purchasing an external HD and/or the system requirements for iCloud to store their "stuff.”
Dropbox is a free storage utility to check out.
You can check with your ISP to see if they offer *free* storage space. Most if not all do now-a-days. There are thousands if not millions of *free* storage facilities on the web also. Use your favorite search engine to search them out as they come in different storage sizes to fit your needs & wants.
Check for duplicate fonts.
Applications>Font Book
Select “All Fonts”
If you see any “black dots” next to any fonts this mean you have duplicates and/or multiple versions of these fonts.
To clean this up, select a “black dotted” font or the Apple + *click* to select multiple dotted fonts;
Edit>Resolve>Duplicates.
What the above does is turns off the duplicates & multiple version fonts. Not delete them.
More than likely the “extras” were installed by other programs and/or other users.
Clear out font caches
Use FontNuke. It does all the work for you. And, best of all it’s *FREE*.
Printer Drivers
Get rid of all the printer drivers you don’t need & use except the ones for your *current* printer(s)/scanner(s).
HD>Library>Printers Folder
If you accidently threw something out that you needed for your printer/scanner it can be easily obtained from the manufacturer’s website and/or from the CD that came w/the printer/scanner.
Garage Band
Has about 1GB of loops stored. Get rid of some some them. You surely don’t use, like and/or need them all.
HD>Library>Audio/Apple Loops>Apple>Apple Loops For GarageBand
Or just get rid of the Garage Band app altogether if you don’t use it.
Get rid of extra languages
Strip your computer down to your “native” tongue.
You can do this with a *FREE* utility called Monolingual. Another app that apparently does all the work for you. I’ve never used it. However, a lot of users here swear by & recommend it highly.
However, there is a warning for *native English speakers*. Make sure you keep BOTH English and English (United States).

Best way to do a light glow highlight through a graphic in FCP?

Best way to do a light glow highlight through a graphic in FCP?

Hi -
Lots of ways to do this, here is the method I use- gives lots of control:
Place/edit your graphic on the timeline. Do any motion keyframing you need to do.
Select the clip on the timeline and copy it.
Place the copy directly above the original +2 tracks higher+ (leaving an empty track between them).
Click on the clip you've copied and type Shift-A to mark In and mark Out on the duration of the clip.
Targeting the empty track between the two graphics, go to the viewer and from the Generator button (the button on the lower right of the viewer with the "A" on it) select Render > Highlight. That will bring a soft highlight shape into the viewer. Edit that to the empty track between the two graphics. Don't worry about what things look like at this point.
Now go to the top graphic and from the effects tab, apply Video Filters > Image Control > Brightness and Contrast and also apply Video Filters > Blur > Gaussian Blur to you clip on the timeline.
Double click on that clip, and in the viewer select the Filters Tab. Adjust the the filters to get a nice soft glowing bright image of your graphic.
Once you have that, move back t the timeline and Control - click on the +top graphic+ on your timeline and from the drop down menu, choose Composite Mode > Travel Matte - Luma.
As soon as you select it, you will see that the highlight shape in the middle track in now cutting a matte shape for your glowing soft graphic on the upper track.
Now double click on the Highlight clip on the middle track. In the viewer, using the control tab, rotate the bar, change it's width and shape to your liking. To make it sweep across the graphic, switch to the Motion Tab and keyframe a move with the highlight bar starting off to the graphic, moving across it, and ending off the graphic on the other side.
Depending on the horsepower of your computer, you may have to render to see this effect playback while you are working - you will definitely need to render when you are done. The nice thing about doing the highlight this way is that it gives you a lot of control over the apperance.
Hope this helps.

Best way to create frame with stroke around a paragraph?

What is the best way to create a frame with a stroke around text? I
always thought it was with an inline frame, but now I see that trying to
put the cursor in the text is very difficult because the frame blocks
the cursor. Is there a better way?

Thanks guys.
What I was doing was putting the anchored frame in an empty paragraph
above the paragraph that needed the box. The problem was when I tried to
put the cursor in the text the anchored frame blocked it. Why is an
anchored frame on top of text?
The easy solution would be to cut/paste the text into the anchored frame
(which would be similar to Ole's single cell table idea). I didn't want
to go this route for two reasons:
1) I don't want to cut and paste every paragraph.
2) I didn't want the story to be broken up. I wanted it to be one long
flow of text. It makes tings easier just in case the paragraphs have to
break across two pages.
Jongware's underline/strikethrough idea is another good one, but I don't
like the idea of putting in all those extra characters.
What I ended up doing was using paragraph rules. I set the rule above to
1pt larger on all sides than the rule below so it looked like a box with
a stroke. Of course, the problem with paragraph rules is getting it the
right size. I wrote a script that calculates the size of the text and
sets the rule size the correct amount.
Of course this still has its problems when the boxes need to break pages...

Pricing: Best way to determine an partial condition amount

Hi,
In our scenario MWST (VAT) is calculated from multiple values/conditions (price and postage&package costs).
What is the best way to extract the VAT value for only one of these conditions? I can only think of extracting this value via ABAP within a routine however this value isn't rounded? Is there a more easy way via customizing/conditions to extract this value?
We need this value to calculate/sum the net-value for postage and package costs.
Kind regards,
Tim

What is the best way to extract the VAT value for
only one of these conditions?
If the requirement will not vary from billing to billing, then you can accordingly assign the From-To step number in your pricing procedure.
thanks
