Best way to handle text files in OD10g

We have a requirement to store reports in text format into a database field, to be able to view the reports, and to print them if desired using Forms 10g. What is the best way to handle this?
- define the field in the database as clob or blob?
- if CLOB is the choice, what tools to use to upload CLOBs to the database (since webutil transfer is for blob only)?
- in Forms 10g, can one use the Forms data type LONG for CLOB?
- can you do Forms search on clob and blob fields?
- how can reports that are stored in fields be viewed without first downloading to the client workstation?
- in Forms 10g, what is the best way to view text files residing in local PCs: "host notepad myFile"?
Thanks much for your reply!

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 handle source files

Hi there,
After some pretty general advise please.
The company I work for looks after a lot of websites, and one
of the
headaches we have is the best way to handle source files. By
source files I'm
referring to Photoshop files, Flash .fla files and also other
none Adobe
files that relate to a site, not the .html, .asp, .aspx,
.css, .js etc type
files.
Now I'm NOT after a version control system, just a simple way
to store the
source files in a location that is separate from the website
but still to be
able to have a smooth workflow between the Dreamweaver site
and it's source
files.
At the moment, and I know this is unwise, we have a
subdirectory within the
site where we store the source files, and use WebDAV to
transfer both site
and source files to and from the server. But I really want to
separate the
site from source but still maintain a link between site and
source...... if
you see what I mean. I think the upshot is I would like to be
able to open a
site within Dreamweaver and instantly be able to access that
sites source
files if needed. This method needs to be shared across a
small team spread
round the UK.
I looked at the Repository Subversion version control, but
like I said I'm
not after a source control system, plus it appeared to
conflict with WebDAV
and Contribute, that some of our clients use to maintain
content on their
sites. I also looked at Version Cue which looked promising,
but can't see a
clear workflow between Dreamweaver and Version Cue which
separates site from
source. I might be missing something.... part of my brain
perhaps. :)
Would be grateful for any advice please.
Cheers,
@ndyB

Best way to view Text files from Mac on iPhone 4?

What is the Best way to view Text files (loaded) from my Mac onto my iPhone 4?
Will any of the "readers" (e.g. Kindle, Kobo) allow me to put my own text files onto my iPhone and read them easily?
Thanks

I actually purchased GoodReader because it is easy to transfer files without iTunes. I dislike the file sharing through iTunes. You can use a Mac or PC. Once I was in the app I clicked the "Wi-Fi" symbol which brings me to "WiFi-transfer." It will show this --
"WiFi status: ON
Use one of the following addresses exactly as you see them
1. IP-address: http://192.168.0.98:8080 <-- Local LAN address the iPhone is broadcasting on.
2. Bonjour-address http://Myname-iPhone.local:8080"
All you have to do is type one of those addresses into your browser. (Safari, etc.)
It will take you to a page that has iPhone Connection and a list of options. You can either create a new directory within the application or use an existing one to upload a text file. It's rather simple, you just select "Choose a file to upload" > Select your file > Press upload > Start the app and see your text/pdf/whatever file.
You can also connect to a server to download a text file, browse the web, or enter a url. I see it also has an ICloud folder which I'm not sure if it integrates with Apple's iCloud or not, I think it does. I'm not affliated with the app and I'm not saying you have to buy it, I'm just a happy user.
If you don't want to buy this app let me know I'll keep looking for a free or cheaper one for you if you want.

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?

What is the best way to handle .mod files in premiere pro cs4?

I recently got a JVC Everio GZ-MG130u and as I'm sure many of you are aware, it saves footage in the .mod format.
I have googled this and found quite a few different solutions, but I'm just wondering if anything has changed since some of these solutions were posted, or in other words, what is the best way at this current point in time to handle .mod files in premiere pro cs4?
As far as I know, the best thing to do is convert the .mod to .avi and then import it into premiere so it can be edited.. Is there a better way to do it than this? Also, by doing it this way, will I have separate audio and video tracks?
Thanks.

I have just done a bit of reading, here. All of the quotes that follow are from users who have posted in that thread.
It seems that there isn't one solid answer on this subject. The thread that I linked to was started 2 years ago, and replied to just 4 ago, so it's relatively current.
I noticed a couple different interesting statements:
posted by mmontgomery:
In the case of .MOD, you are actually getting a MPEG-2 file. The way
video files work is that there is a codec (COmpressor/DECompressor)
algorithm and a file wrapper (or extension). A JVC .MOD file is a
MPEG-2 encoded file, with a .MOD extension.
You're faced with two
challenges, first the .MOD file type is only recognized and support by a
few applications. I think we covered some of those already. The
interesting thing about wrappers and extensions is that they can be
dealt with in a variety of ways. Sometimes all you need to do to convert
the video file to a compatible video file is to change the extension.
In the case of .MOD files that's not enough. The .MOD wrapper apparently
does a few more things than just bare a unique extension name. It
requires a slightly more complicated method to convert that file. That
is why there is supplied software and that certain third party
applications have .MOD support.
(posted 2 years ago)
This seems to indicate that Ann's solution of simply re-naming the extension is not good enough, unless I am mis-interpreting what she meant.
However, another user said:
posted by futball8:
I edit with Adobe Premiere Pro CS3. All I have to do is simply rename
the .MOD files as .MPG and then import into PP CS3. It takes a small
amount of time to conform the audio, but no file conversion is
necessary. It's a pretty slick workflow and I've never encountered any
problems editing them this way.
(posted 5 months ago)
One can only assume that simply re-naming the extension from .mod to .mpg works in some circumstances, and doesn't work in others. I assume it depends largely on the editing software being used. Perhaps there are still issues that futball8 was simply unaware of or never encountered.
That said, there seems to be a couple of different real solutions to this problem that I have found:
1. Simply use an editing program that supports .mod file format. While pe7 and pe8 supposedly support the .mod format, the following should be noted:
posted by macksgarage:
While Elements 'supports' these files, it is markedly unstable and frequently crashes while using the files, though the application is otherwise reliable. The solution I have arrived at is to repair the container using ffmpeg. (see #3)
(posted 5 months ago)
2. Use a file conversion utility of your choice that will covert .mod to .avi, or another desired format. Import the resulting .avi file into premiere pro cs4.
3. Use FFmpeg. This seems to be the best solution as it does not convert any audio or video:
posted by macksgarae:
If you are not familiar with ffmpeg, it may be a bit of a bear to
learn, but it's not only useful for this, but functions as a video swiss
army knife useful for splicing, muxing/demuxing, and rendering just
about any format into just about any other format.
ffmpeg is an open source project from the linux world, but it has
been ported and is supported on windows. Fetch it here and place it somewhere handy
on your system.
To rewrite the container into a nice, standards compliant .mpg file
that doesn't make applications die, WITHOUT rerendering video or audio
itself, I use this command.
ffmpeg -i INFILE.MOD -acodec copy - vcodec copy OUTFILE.mpg
This not only renames the file, but actually rebuilds the container
around unmodified video and audio data, yielding a file which works much
more stably with Adobe applications, and presumably others as well, as
ffmpeg's open source development goals result in very standards
compliant files.
(posted 5 months ago)
Now, this seems to properly address the issues that can arise from simply renaming .mod to .mpg, as suggested by Ann. So from this point, I assume you can simply import the .mpg into Premiere Pro cs4 (or any other .mpg compliant program) and edit without issue, but it seems like I remember hearing something about Premiere not liking mpegs or something like that, so in that case, maybe it'd be better to skip this and go with option #2. But, it's been awhile since I've touched any NLE, much less premiere pro cs4, so I could be completely wrong and it may have no problems handling mpegs.
All of the things that I've quoted here came from the same thread, so I don't know how accurate any of this is, but the people that have posted these things seem fairly knowledgeable. If someone reads all of this and can confirm or deny any of it, it would be much appreciated.
Option 1 is not really an option for me, because I am sticking with premiere pro cs4 -- I'm not going to get another editor just because it has .mod support. That leaves me with options 2 and 3: Convert to avi, or change the file wrapper/extension properly with FFmpeg and then simply import the resulting .mpg file... Which is better? Or is there yet another solution that I am unaware of that would be even better?

Best way to read text files at multiple production sites

Need to write a solution to read txt files that contain binary data on multiple SQL Servers. I have no control over the SQL servers, they are not mine. Thinking of BULK INSERT or bcp. But must something on the server be turned on for it to work? What are
some other production solutions for reading files and loading the data into a SQL table?

Hello,
I think the best way is create a SSIS package to import data into SQL Server tables. Here are some articles for your reference:

Best way to handle large amount of text

hello everyone
My project involves handling large amount of text.(from
conferences and
reports)
Most of them r in Ms Word. I can turn them into RTF format.
I dont want to use scrolling. I prefer turning pages(next,
previous, last,
contents). which means I need to break them into chunks.
Currently the process is awkward and slow.
I know there wud b lots of people working on similar
projects.
Could anyone tell me an easy way to handle text. Bring them
into cast and
break them.
any ideas would be appreciated
thanx
ahmed

Hacking up a document with lingo will probably loose the rtf
formatting
information.
Here's a bit of code to find the physical position of a given
line of on
screen text (counting returns is not accurate with word
wrapped lines)
This stragety uses charPosToLoc to get actual position for
the text
member's current width and font size
maxHeight = 780 -- arbitrary display height limit
T = member("sourceText").text
repeat with i = 1 to T.line.count
endChar = T.line[1..i].char.count
lineEndlocV = charPosToLoc(member "sourceText",
endChar).locV
if lineEndlocV > maxHeight then -- fount "1 too many"
line
-- extract identified lines "sourceText"
-- perhaps repeat parce with remaining part of "sourceText"
singlePage = T.line[1..i - 1]
member("sourceText").text = T.line[i..99999] -- put remaining
text back
into source text member
If you want to use one of the roundabout ways to display pdf
in
director. There might be some batch pdf production tools that
can create
your pages in pretty scalable pdf format.
I think flashpaper documents can be adapted to director.

(workflow question) - What is the best way to handle audio in a large Premiere project?

Hey all,
This might probably be suitable for any version of Premiere, but just in case, I use CS4 (Master Collection)
I am wrestling in my brain about the best way to handle audio in my project to cut down on the time I am working on it.
This project I just finished was a 10 minute video for a customer shot on miniDV (HVX-200) cut down from 3 hours of tape.
I edited my whole project down to what looked good, and then I decided I needed to clean up all the Audio using Soundbooth, So I had to go in clip by clip, using the Edit in SoundBooth --> Render and Replace method on every clip. I couldn't find a way to batch edit any audio in Soundbooth.
For every clip, I performed similar actions---
1) both tracks of audio were recorded with 2 different microphones (2 mono tracks), so I needed only audio from 1 track - I used SB to cut and paste the good track over the other track.
2) amplified the audio
3) cleaned up the background noise with the noise filter
I am sure there has to be a better workflow option than what I just did (going clip by clip), Can someone give me some advice on how best to handle audio in a situation like this?
Should I have just rendered out new audio for the whole tape I was using, and then edit from that?
Should I have rendered out the audio after I edited the clips into one long track and performed the actions I needed on it? or something entirely different? It was a very slow, tedious process.
Thanks,
Aza

Hi, Aza.
Given that my background is audio and I'm just coming into the brave new world of visual bits and bytes, I would second Hunt's recommendation regarding exporting the entire video's audio as one wav file, working on it, and then reimporting. I do this as one of the last stages, when I know I have the editing done, with an ear towards consistency from beginning to end.
One of the benefits of this approach is that you can manage all audio in the same context. For example, if you want to normalize, compress or limit your audio, doing it a clip at a time will make it difficult for you to match levels consistently or find a compression setting that works smoothly across the board. It's likely that there will instead be subtle or obvious differences between each clip you worked on.
When all your audio is in one file you can, for instance, look at the entire wave form, see that limiting to -6 db would trim off most of the unnecessary peaks, triim it down, and then normalize it all. You may still have to do some tweaking here and there, but it gets you much farther down the road, much more easily.Same goes for reverb, EQ or other effects where you want the same feel throughout the entire video.
Hope this helps,
Chris

What is the best way to manipulate text?

What is the best way to manipulate text in Photoshop? Let's say I need to edit an "A" and I want to stretch out the bottom corners of the letter, while not moving the upper portion (wide bottom, skiny top)... what is the best way to do this? I know the "skew" function somewhat moves corners, but I want to take the binding boxes (while in the skew function) and move them individually so it doesn't affect another corner. Is this possible (or am I just crazy?!?!)?

Not sure I get all the nuances of what you want, but have you tried invoking Free Transform, (CTRL+T) then holding down CTRL while clicking/dragging a corner handle?

Adobe Air + Box2D.swc = TypeError: Error #1009 // New way to handle .swc files in Flash for iOS Apps?

Hi,
I need your help please - I have to update one of my iOS Apps. In this App I use Box2d for a simple maze game (it's an app for kids). When I publish & test this game on my Mac it works fine. I can drag my Hero (fish) through this Maze and all collision detections, gravity etc. work perfect.
When I test it on my iPad it doesn't work. The device debugger shows this error message:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

at misc::Entity/handleAddedToStage()
Line 31: loader = new CLibInit();
I guess "CLibInit" should come from the .swc file.
The thing is:
I didn't change anything in this maze game - it seems this has to do something with the new Flash and/or Adobe Air version. Box2D.swc file is included:
It always worked like this - and it works when testing it on my Mac - but it is no longer working on my current system.
So I started my Mac from an older system (10.9.5 on an external HD) and published the App from Flash CS6 and Adobe Air 13.0 - then it suddenly worked on my iPad as before. I was able to tap an the fish and drag it arround.
The same project / app published from my current OS X 10.10 + Flash CC 2014 + Adobe Air 15.0.0.302 is not working. I always receive this Error Message - I can not drag the fish - nothing happens. And I have no idea why this happens and what else I could do. I searched the whole day for a solution but didn't find anything.
So did anything change by the way Flash and/or Air handles .swc files? Is there an other way to include: import cmodule.Box2D.* / CLibInit ?
Please - if anyone has a clue - please let me know!!
Best regards
Jan

Update:
There is also an Android Version of this App. I just published and tested a new version of it on my kindle fire & Samsung Galaxy Tab 2. On both Tablets the maze works perfect. I'm able to drag the fish around etc.
Then I published this Android Version for iOS and tested it on my iPad. Again I'm getting the Error message:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

...and the fish is stuck - I can't drag it - nothing happens. So this error only occurs when I publish the App for iOS - as an .ipa. Did anything change in the way Air handles .swc files?
I'm totally confused
If anybody has an idea what I could try - PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!

Best way to handle all erros and get performance(OCI)?

Hi there,
Im using[b] Oracle Call Interface to execute batch file process. But I have got a problem.
I set ExecuteBatch with the same number of commit time, i.e: 100, 1000 or just 10, for thats ok.
((OraclePreparedStatement)globalStmt).setExecuteBatch(commit);
And I handle executeUpdate to catch all SQL Exceptions. I made some proposital files with invalid erros but when I handle "executeUpdate" it�s doesn�t get the corrent error line, and puts out another line that is corret.
((OraclePreparedStatement)globalStmt).executeUpdate();
Check in the code I concluded that its always get the same sequence of commit number like the error line. For example, I have between line 1 - 50 a line error, this line is 31, but I set the commit time for 50, its show me that line errror is 50 wherever 31. But if I put setExecuteBatch with '1' so it can handle corret lines erros, but the system performance bring down. What is the best way to handle all erros and keep the perfronace?
Sorry for my english, I am not native. Thanks all.

So by doing this, everything will transfer and look exactly the way I have it on the old machine?
That is correct, if your old machine is Intel based after using MA the new machine will look just like the old machine. Here is information from Apple on MA, I'd recommend looking it over.
My recommendation is to answer NO when setting up the new machine when it asks "Are you moving from another Mac?" The reason being let you new machine get set up and run for a couple of hours to ensure it's fine. Then launch MA and follow the prompts, it's very easy and if you use a fast connection like FW it should go smoothly.

Best way to handle calling the EP logon page

I would like to be able to handle the following:
1. Start EP in anonymous/guest mode (basically unauthenticated).
2. Present an iview that allows a user to fill in some information but when he/she clicks on a button it would first check if the user is logged on and if not -- call up the EP logon page/self registrtion page. After logging in/self-registrating, the iview would continue processing.
What is the best way to handle this?

Hi,
You have to download the com.sap.portal.logon standar "par" and modify the jsp file to simplify the logon page (maybe only input fields for user and password).
then upload the new .par file to the portal and update the authschems.xml file to redirect the default method to the new ".par".
You can insert an "enter" button in the home page that launh a pop up to a dummy page with property "default" authentication scheme. Automatically the Portal shows you in the little pop up the simplyfied login page to insert login data. The dummy page need to redirect the parent page to the portallauncher component and close itself.

Hi,
I've done a great deal of work with mobile accounts in Snow Leopard and I'm now having a "play" with Lion. To be honest you have to sit down and think about why you need mobile accounts.
If your user only uses one computer then your safer having a local account backed up by a network Time Machine, this avoids the many many woes that the Servers FileSyncAgent brings to the table.
If your users are going to be accessing multiple computers on the network and leaving the network then a mobile account is good for providing a uniform user experience and access to files etc. However, your users will have to make a choice as to whether they want their iPhoto libraries on one Local machine (backed up by Time Machine) or whether they want their library to be hosted on the server and not part of the Mobile Home Sync schedule (adding ~/Pictures to the excluded items on the home sync settings).
With the latter, users will be able to access their iPhoto libraries on any computer when they are within the network (as it's accessed from the users server home folder).
With the first option the user would have their iPhoto library on one computer (say the laptop they used the most) but then would not be able to access it from other computers they log on to.
iPhoto libraries are a pain, and I'm working hard to come up with a workaround. If your users moved over to using Apeture then you could include the aperture library as part of the home sync thanks to Deeport (http://deepport.net/archives/os-x-portable-home-directories-and-syncing-flaw-wit h-bundles/)
He does suggest that the same would work with IPhoto libraries - but it doesn't for a number of mysterious reasons regarding how the OS recognizes thie iPhoto bundle (it does so differently compared to Apeture).
Hope this helps...

Best way to handle multi-page documents?

Hi,
I'm creating a multi-page editor on top of TLF and I'd like to hear some opinions about the best way to handle multi-pade documents.
I'm basicaly considering two options:
1.) A single RichEditableText and several ContainerControllers.
2.) Several RichEditableText.
Tks.

I'm not sure you can create a RichEditableText and give it multiple ContainerControllers. If you use multiple RichEditableText
components, then you will have to decide in advance which text goes in which one.
We have posted sample code for doing this in straight ActionScript, which you could presumably also host inside a Flex container. See:
http://blogs.adobe.com/tlf/examples/
Look for "ActionScript Pagination Example".
