    Paragon even has non-destriuctive conversion utility if you do want to change drive.
    Hard to imagine using 3TB that isn't NTFS. Mac uses GPT for default partition type as well as HFS+

  • Best Way to port the data from one DB to another DB using Biztalk

    Hi,
    please suggest best way to move the data from one db to another DB using biztalk.
    Currently I am doing like that, for each transaction(getting from different source tables) through receive port, and do some mapping (some custom logic for data mapping), then insert to target normalized tables(multiple tables) and back to update the status
    of transaction in source table in sourceDB. It is processing one by one.
    How/best we we can do it using  bulk transfer and update the status. Since it has more than 10000 transaction per call.
    Thanks,
    Vinoth

    Hi Vinoth,
    For SQL Bulk inserts you can always use SQL Bulk Load
    adapter.
    http://www.biztalkgurus.com/biztalk_server/biztalk_blogs/b/biztalksyn/archive/2005/10/23/processing-a-large-flat-file-message-with-biztalk-and-the-sqlbulkinsert-adapter.aspx
    However, even though a SQL Bulk Load adapter can efficiently insert a large amount of data into SQL you are still stuck with the issues of transmitting the
    MessageBox database and the memory issues of dealing with really large messages.
    I would personally suggest you to use SSIS, as you have mentioned that records have to be processed in specific time of day as opposed to when the
    records are available.
    Please refer to this link to get more information about SSIS: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms141026.aspx
    If you have any more questions related to SSIS, please ask it in
    SSIS 
    forum and you will get specific support.

  • What is the best way to completely uninstall Aperture from a MacBook Pro?

    What is the best way to completely uninstall Aperture from a MacBook Pro.
    I just ordered a new MacBook Pro and I want to remove it from my older MacBook Pro.

    Deleting the application from your /Applications folder is sufficient. There are sample projects in /Library/Application/Aperture you may want to get rid of as well, as they take up a fair bit of space.

  • Best way to accept a date from a user

    Hi Guys,
    Whats the best way to get a date from a user and add it in an
    insert record to access.
    I have a form that adds a record and it works well enough as
    long as the data added is in the correct format.
    Untill now ive just had a text box with an explination to the
    user on how to add the date and what format....
    But Im fed up with having to change bad entrys and need to
    place a control or something on the form but dont know whats
    easiest and best?
    Any ideas welcome.
    Thanks

    If you want today's date set the database up to insert the
    date
    automatically. If you want other dates than today's use a
    date picker or
    calendar to insert the date.

  • Best way to completely erase my SSD disk and make fresh install of MacOSX?

    I want a brand new OSX installatetion. What is the best way to completely erase my SSD (to make it brand new) and reinstall MAC OSX (i can use internet WPA secure Wi-Fi to reinstall MACOSX Lion). On macbook air late 2011.

    That's a good question!  It's a trick question too!
    Here's my thoughts on this...
    It's not as obvious as one might think.  You certainly don't want to do a secure erase (heck, you never need to do a secure erase unless maybe you want to sell the machine).  And even a simple reformat is quationable.
    It's not that these things won't work.  It is just that the flash cells are not going to be reused unless there are no unused flash cells available.  So you end up installing in unused flash cells which is not the same as when it was actually new.
    So I don't know the answer here. 
    Note, I do recall the MacPerformanceGuild has some tool for reconditioning ssd's but I have to find it again and if I recall there was something that bothered me about its description.
    Time for some google searches.
    MPG Article on reconditing ssd's: Reconditioning a solid state drive (SSD)
    I think what was bothering me about that article was the info near the end about writing over the entire ssd.
    Another MPG Article: Restoring solid state drive performance with DiskTester ‘recondition’

  • What is the best way to transfer my date from my old iMac to my new iMac?

    what is the best way to transfer my date from my old iMac to my new iMac? I don't have a time capsule, so I cannot use time machine.
    thanks

    Your best bet by far is to use Setup Assistant when the new Mac first starts up to transfer directly from the old one. 
    It's similar to Migration Assistant, but doing it that way will avoid having an extra user account.
    Either way, you can connect them via FireWire, Thunderbolt, or your network, but avoid wireless if at all possible.  You can connect both to your netwrork via Ethernet, or put a single cable between the two. 
    See Using Setup Assistant on Mountain Lion or Lion for details.

  • What is the best way to remove personal data from the hard drive in preparation for selling my old Mac?

    I am going to sell or perhaps donate my old Power Mac G5.  Is there an easier, yet comprehensive way to remove my data from the hard-drive?  My best approach is dumping anything I do not want found into the trash.
    I am running Mac OS 10.5.8 on the powermac G5

    For better security than the simple Erase (which does not actually over-write the data blocks, only clears the directory), choose Security Options, and Zero all data, one pass.
    After a Zero all data, the only way to recover the data is to dis-assemble the drive in a clean room and use expensive test gear to recover a little of the data. That is good for all but Military Secrets.
    If you really trust no one under any circumstances, remove the drive and beat it to death with a hammer.

  • Any way to transfer selected data from iphone to iphone?

    MY problem is: I bought iPhone 6, when I transfered data from iphone 5 through iTunes, 3G on iphone 6 didnt work, i erased contents and settings, it fixed it, the problem was in the backup file actually!! Now i need a way to transfer SMS, whatsapp messages, viber messages and calls!
    icloud backup wont work, whatsapp chat backup stuck forever... And i cant use iTunes again!!!
    is there any other way to solve this??

    Hi,
    You can transfer the purchased content from your iPhone to iTunes as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
    The other music would have to be imported into iTunes again. This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1209 provides more information.

  • What is the best way to mimic the data from production to other server?

    Hi,
    here we user streams and advanced replication to send the data for 90% of tables from production to another production database server. if one goes down can use another one. is there any other best option rather using the streams and replication? we are having lot of problems with streams these days they keep break and get calls.
    I heard about data guard but dont know what is use of it? please advice the best way to replicate the data.
    Thanks a lot.....

    RAC, Data Guard. The first one is active-active, that is, you have two or more nodes accessing the same database on shared storage and you get both HA and load balancing. The second is active-passive (unless you're on 11.2 with Active Standby or Snapshot Standby), that is one database is primary and the other is standby, which you normally cannot query or modify, but to which you can quickly switch in case primary fails. There's also Logical Standby - it's based on Streams and generally looks like what you seem to be using now (sort of.) But it definitely has issues. You can also take a look at GoldenGate or SharePlex.

  • Best way to completely erase internal HD in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger?

    Hi all-
    I wanted to completely erase my hard drive and reinstall OS 10.4. In going through the process, I chose "erase and install" in the Installer utility, hoping it would do away with the multiple partitions I've made on to my Hard Drive. I also want to totally erase all my applications. After all that, I still have everything. I then tried to do the "Erase free space" or "Write with Zeroes" within Disk Utility and got some error saying it was not possible. So... would someone please tell me the quickest way to erase EVERYTHING (partitions included) ? I'd even be willing to buy some app. that would do it for me.
    THANKS!!

    Extended Hard Drive Preparation
    1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disk. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.)
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to APM then click on the OK button. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size.
    Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.

  • Best way to use basic data from another DB?

    Hi, I have a database where I need to use basic information such as (Table Person and other Human Resources tables) My database needs those tables, should I create those tables in my model too? and through scripts fill that information? or there is a direct way to do it, such as a trigger or something. Can you give different solutions with different database engines? such as Oracle, mysql or MSSQL or just one thanks a lot!

    diego10 wrote:
    I see I need to be specific, Well from MSSQL to Oracle
    You could have a process on MSSQL to push data to Oracle.  In this case, MSSQL is just another client to the oracle database, using MSSQL "linked server".  This could be a scheduled batch process or a trigger.  (I'm assuming MSSQL has triggers).
    You could have a process on Oracle pull data from MSSQL via a db_link in the Oracle database.  Obviously a trigger would not be useful, because there would be no triggering event on the Oracle database.
    You could create a view in the oracle database that selects from MSSQL via a db_link.  This would avoid trying to keep duplicated data in sync, but would not allow the app in Oracle to actually maintain the data, just view it when needed.
    The best solution will depend on the specific needs.

  • Best way to push change data from sql server to windows/web application

    i apologized that i do not know should i ask this question in this forum or not.
    i have win apps which will load all data initially from db and display through grid but from the next time when any data will change in db or any data will be inserted newly in db then only change or newly inserted data need to be pushed from db side to
    my win apps. now only sql dependency class is coming to my mind but there is a problem regarding sql dependency class that it notify client but do not say which data is updated or inserted.
    so i am looking for best guidance and easy way to achieve my task. what will be the best way to push data from sql server to win or web client.
    there is two issue
    1) how to determine data change or data insert. i guess that can be handle by trigger
    2) next tough part is how very easily push those data from sql server end to win apps end.
    so looking for expert guide. thanks

    Hello,
    Yes, you can create DML trigger on INSERT and UPDATE to get the changed data into a temp table. And then query the temp table from application.
    If you are use SQL Server 2008 or later version, you can also try to use
    Change data capture, which
    can track insert, update, and delete activity that is applied to a SQL Server table and store the changed values on the Change Table.
