Best way to map CLOB database fields?

I ran into a problem mapping CLOB fields a couple of months ago and couldn't find an easy answer to the problem. I got sidetracked and now find myself back at the same point...
What is the best practice for mapping CLOB database fields in the mapping workbench? Do you map them as serialized (as a note I've got here) or can someone point me in the proper direction please? I've got everything else functioning properly, but I left my CLOB fields out of my mapping because they were giving me such trouble. Now, I need to get back to that specific area.
~ Tiffani

Hi Tiffani,
SerializedObjectMapping is generally used to map a multimedia object (for example image)to a BLOB field. For CLOB, I use simple direct-to-field mapping, and TopLink conversion manager will handle the read/write from the object String/Char[] to CLOB.

What is the best way to create a database schema from XML

What is the best way to create a database schema from XML?
i have a complex XML file that I want to create a database from and consistently import new XML files of the same schema type. Currently I have started off by mapping the XSD into Excel and using Mysql for Excel to push into MySQL.
There must be a more .net microsoft solution for this but I cannot locate the topic and tools by searching. What are the best tools and way to manage this?
Taking my C# further

Hi Saythj,
When mentioning "a database schema from XML", do you mean the
XML Schema Collections? If that is what you mean, when trying to import XML files of the same schema type, you may take the below approach.
Create an XML Schema Collection basing on your complex XML, you can find
many generating tools online to do that.
Create a Table with the above created schema typed XML column as below.
CREATE TABLE youTable( Col1 int, Col2 xml (yourXMLSchemaCollection))
Load your XML files and try to insert the xml content into the table above from C# or some other approaches. The XMLs that can't pass the validation fail inserting into that table.
If you have any question, feel free to let me know.

What is the best way to clone a form field in BC

Hi,
What is the best way to clone a form field in BC. I tried using jquery .clone. It works fine on other forms for me but not on the BC forms, why? is it just me? Any help would be great. Thanks

I mean, duplicate a field with the click of a button.
I think this should work, but it's not and I am linked to the jquery library in the head of my page.

Opinion needed on best way to map multiple table joins (of the same table)

Hi all
I have a query of the format:
select A.col1, B.col1,C.col1
FROM
MASTER_TABLE A, ATTRIBUTE_TABLE B, ATTRIBUTE_TABLE C
WHERE
A.key1 = B.key1 (+)
AND
A.key1 = C.key1(+)
AND
B.key2(+) = 100001
AND
C.key2(+) = 100002
As you can see, I am joining the master table to the attribute table MANY times over, (over 30 attributes in my actual query) and I am struggling to find the best way to map this efficiently as the comparison for script vs. mapping is 1:10 in execution time.
I would appreciate the opinion of experienced OWB users as to how they would tackle this in a mapping and to see if they use the same approach as I have done.
Many thanks
Adi

If I run this it takes less than a second in TOAD, when mapped in OWB it takes ages. 10:1 is a conservative estimate. In reality it takes 15-20 minutes. CSI_IEA_VALUES has 30 million rows CSI_ITEM_INSTANCES has 500,000 rows.
Hope that helps. I would love to know how others would tackle this query.

Best way to validate a name field... (PHP)

Hi,
I'm trying to improve my contact form and as it is now I do
the
following with the first last name input field....
I limit the input (40 characters)
I only allow one space between first and lastname
I strip and add slashes
I'm not sure the "one space" thing is good. What are your
opinions on
this? How do you do it?
Is this the best way to do it or is there something very
clever I missed?

Validate, but don't over-validate. There are some things you
can fix
silently, for example multiple spaces - just replace them
with a single
one and move on. Length limit is OK if you want to insert the
data into
a database.
Slashes - you should remove them if magic quotes are enabled
(check with
get_magic_quotes_gpc()) and then use an appropriate escaping
function if
necessary, for example mysql_real_escape_string(),
htmlspecialchars() or
whatever. It just depends on what you want to do with the
data.

WAD - Best way to layout master data fields for a single record

I am creating an employee profile which will be fed from various InfoProviders in BI. I am going to lay it out so that there is a master data section at the top and then below there will be various histories (salary, job, etc) and everything will be populated by the value of a single variable.
The question I have is what is the best way to lay out about 20 master data fields in the top section and have it look nice? My guess (and I am not fond of the tedium) is to create a bound text for each of them and bind it to the appropriate characteristic. Then just have the variable setting affect all of them.
Anyone have any other ideas?

Hello,
you can use the interface command:
storm-control unicast level 10.00
or
storm-control unicast bps 10000000
The first command will limit bandwidth to 10% of what is available, the second will limit bandwidth to 10Mbps, effectively achieving the same thing.

Update of non-database fields mapped to database fields

I have two columns start month and start year which
are non-database columns and which map to one database
field start date in the database.
I have a post-query trigger on the start month and
start year fields to derive the value from the
database field start date when the form is queried.
When I try to update the form, the update does not
work - if I remove the post-query trigger then the
update works but, the month and year non-database
fields do not get queried.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Suzanne

since those 2 fields are not connected to the database field you need to code the update to the database.
Use the pre-insert trigger and set the value of the date item according to the values of the 2 fields.

Best way to fill CLOB with external XML from URL

There seem to be a number of great tools available for pl/sql developers in the 8i DB environment and I am tryng to get a handle on them. So far I have worked with XSQL servlet (not PL/SQL), XML Parser and XSU.
The problem I have is to fill a clob from an external xml file via a url and then make that clob available for DBMS_XMLSave to insert into DB. What is the best way to do this? I am thinking maybe I have to use utl_http or utl_tcp to fill the CLOB since I can't seem to find a method in the pl/sql XDK?
XSU - can easily generate CLOB from a query but in this case it is not a query, it is XML from url
XMlparser - can read in from a url using parse() but the document returned is a DOMDocument rather than CLOB.

Best way to map server shares to drives

I've always used logon.bat for mapping server shares to client network drive letters. However, I'm being told that setting up group policies is the proper way to map network drives. Anyone have any insight on this? It seems that group
policies at this level are kind of buried in Server Essentials, so it makes me think MS didn't intend for Server Essentials to use GPs for things like this.
If GPs is the proper way to map network drives, is there a good howto for this? I didn't have any luck the first time I tried this.
Thanks,
Greg

Hi Greg
I suggest you try the following.
1. Create a GPO and link it to the relevant users OU.
2. Right clink on the GPO link and select Edit.
3. Select User Configuration and expand Preferences > Windows Settings.
4. Select Drives Map and right click on the right side of the window then select NEW > Mapped Drive
5. within the opened window in the Action select CREATE.
6. Then type the folder location and select a drive letter.
7. Under Show/Hide Drive select Show this drive / show all drives and remember to check the Reconnect box in order to reconnect at log-in.
8. Then navigate to Common Tab. Check the box Item Level Targeting and select Targeting in order to assign to which user group you would like to assign it. Apply and OK
9. Go to CMD and type gpupdate /force
10. logoff/logon the users and test.
You are done. :)

The Best Way to Check a Database.

Hello All,
I'm working on an app. where I'll retrieve upwards of 1 million items.
For each retrieval, I have to make sure that the item was not previously retrieved and stored. That means on the 1millionth item, I have to test the previous 999,999 items . If a match is found, I would ignore it. Other wise I would add it to the store.
I thought about storing all items in a simple hashtable. But 1 million items in a hashtable probably wouldn't be supported on a standard 128MB pc.
So my only other option seems to be database.
But the time required to retrieve and compare to the database seems like it would take forever.
My best guess would be to retrieve say 3000 items then do all my tests at that time and store. Clear the memory and repeat. Is that the strategy you guys would try ?
Does that seem doable -- i'll be using a standard jdbc-odbc bridge by the way
stev
Then I'm going to dump it into a database (MSAccess 2000) using the batch method -if the addBatch method is supported by

If you create your database table to have an index which requires unique values, then an insert of a duplicate will throw an exception. I don't know whether addBatch will be practical here -- it might throw the exception and not add the rest of the batch, but then again it might not. Of course, adding 1 million items is going to take some time, but the other advantage of the database is that the data is permanently stored in a form that's easy to access in a variety of ways.

Best Way to move MB database from single XCH 2010 to 2013 DAG

Hi,
We are migrating from a Single Exchange 2010 sp3 server to a 2-node exchange 2013 DAG cluster, located in another AD site.
I can move a mailbox from 2010 to 2013 without issue, but the WAN link between 2010 and 2013 is very small.
It will take us too long to move all mailboxes with move-mailbox over the line.
Is there another way to move the mailboxes or Databases more quickly?
I was thinking about copying the DB's to a physical disk from 2010 and then move and mount it on 2013. Is that even possible? I explored the possibility to seed the DB to 2013, but don't have the option to do so. 2010 is installed on 2008R2 standard.
We prefer a short downtime and move over everthing in one go as opposed to having coeexistance for longer period of time to allow the move mailbox over the WAN to complete.
Thanks for any suggestions.

You can't move the databases from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013.
I can think of three options.
1. Move the Exchange 2013 server to the same LAN as the Exchange 2010 server, move the mailboxes, then move the server back.
2. Move the Exchange 2010 server to the same LAN as the Exchange 2013 server and move the mailboxes.
3. Install a new Exchange 2010 server on the same LAN as the current Exchange 2010 server, create a DAG, add mailbox database copies on the new Exchange 2010 server, move that server to the same LAN as the Exchange 2013 server, activate the databases
on that LAN, and then move the mailboxes.
3a. A variation of #3 is to build the Exchange 2010 server on the same LAN as the Exchange 2013 server and perform a manual seed of the database copies. This is more trouble than option 3.
Moving Exchange servers between sites is possible but there are other issues you would need to solve. You might be best off just getting a temporary increase in your WAN link capacity for the period of the mailbox move.

Best way to do a database ?

Hi,
I have an application which sorts through and reads a databse. Currently I have it split into small functions which are called for the appropriate database with if statements, I would have it in one large function but java me gives memory errors. Anyway I was wondering if anyone had a better way of doing it as I don't like using multiple functons....
this is the basic structure I've done, is there a more efficient way ?
public void GetMeADatabase() {
public int [][] database = { {0} };
if (databseuserwants==1)
getdatabse1();
else if (databseuserwants==2)
getdatabse2();
public void getdatabase1() {
database = new int[][] {
{1,2,3},
{4,5,6},
public void getdatabase2() {
database = new int[][] {
{7,8,9},
{10,11,12},

Best way to move Oracle database to another machine

Hello,
I'm trying to find the best solution for that case:
On first Unix machine I'm running 10g database. Whole oracle (binary files + datafiles + index + redo) takes about 350GB from my first storage.
On second Unix machine (and second storage) I'd like to run exactly the same instance (the first one is going to be a backup server).
I work in real OLTP environment, and I can only afford a 4-5 hours of downtime (in the night) to move from server 1. to 2.
Could you recommend me the best solution for moving database to no. 2. My problem is, that between storage 1. and storage 2. I've only 30MB/s bandwidth, sequence:
1) instance_on_1: shutdown immediate
2) scp /u01/oracle server2:/u01/oracle
3) instance_on_3: startup
will take about 3-4 hours, so I would have no time to additional tasks.
Best regards
R.

R.Hi and welcome to forum. Why don't you want to use DUPLICATE DATABASE command of RMAN to duplicate the databsae without any downtime?
