Best way to store small amount of data to file?

If I need to store, edit, and retrieve small amounts of data for a desktop app (let's say a small address book with name, address, phone, etc), what are my choices with JavaFX? As far as I can tell, there is no built-in database to handle this...
What about the same need for a web-based app?
thanks

You can use with Netbeans Composer a DataSource and manipulate items with the Query Langage.

  • Best way to store big amount of data

    Hi, i need to store a big amount of data, written in a txt its size is almost 12 mg, anyway it depends on the computer it runs, beacause what i want to store is all the shared files in a computer.
    Which is the best way to store it? Array string? textfile? List? I don�t need the data after the app close.
    Thanks

    Well, then which is the best solution? LinkedList or
    Tree? i only need to store the full path.
    What i didn�t say, my fail, is that i need to search
    for a file name once i have stored them...For searching, LinkedList will be very slow if it's very large. I think the same is true of javax.swing .tree.DefaultTreeModel, which is the JDK's only tree implementation. I don't know what Jakarta-collections has - it's possible they have a tree that offers fast searching. If you want to stick to the standard Java libraries, you'll want a Set for fast searching. TreeSet keeps the entries in sorted order. If you also need to display them as a tree, you can keep them in both a Set and a tree. If you don't have enough memory to do that, then displaying the whole tree isn't going to be useful to the user anyway, so rethink your goal.

  • Best way to store large amounts of data

    Greetings!
    I have some code that will parse through XML data one character at a time, determine if it's an opening or closing tag, what the tag name is, and what the value between the tags is. All of the results are saved in a 2D string array. Each parent result can have a variable number of child results associated with it and it is possible to have over 2,000 parent results.
    Currently, I initialize a new string that I will use to store the values at the beginning of the method.
    String[][] initialXMLValues = new String[2000][45]I have no idea how many results will actually be returned when the method is initially called, so I don't know what to do besides make initialXMLValues around the maximum values I expect to have.
    As I parse through the XML, I look for a predefined tag that signifies the start of a result. Each tag/value that follows is stored in a single element of an arraylist in the form "tagname,value". When I reach the closing parent tag, I convert the arraylist to a String[], store the size of the array if it is bigger than the previous array (to track the maximum size of the child results), store it in initialXMLValues[i.] (<- peroid to avoid post showing up in italics), then increment i
    When I'm all done parsing, I create a new String String[][] XMLValues = new String[i][j], where i is equal to the total number of parent results (from last paragraph) and j is equal to the maximum number of child results. I then use a nested for loop to store all of the values from initialXMLValues into XMLValues. The whole point of this is to minimize the overall size of the returned String Array and minimize the number of null valued fields.
    I know this is terribly inefficient, but I don't know a better way to do it. The problem is having to have the size of the array initilized before I really know how many results I'm going to end up storing. Is there a better way to do this?

    So I'm starting to rewrite my code. I was shocked at how easy it was to implement the SAX parser, but it works great. Now I'm on to doing away with my nasty string arrays.
    Of course, the basic layout of the XML is like this:
    <result1>
    <element1>value</element1>
    <element2>value</element2>
    </result1>
    <result2>
    I thought about storing each element/value in a HashMap for each result. This works great for a single result. But what if I have 1000 results? Do I store 1000 HashMaps in an ArrayList (if that's even possible)? Is there a way to define an array of HashMaps?

  • What is the best way to store and search 2D data

    Hi,
    There is a set of data (~10k records ) in 2D dimension.
    like this :
    Col 1, Col 2, Col3....
    What is the best way to store and search those records ?
    Thanks in advance
    Wilson

    Hi,
    Either userObjet[][] if you know how much data you have, and the data size is fixed, or use a list of lists. E.g. A Vector of Vectors (some will probably say that you should use an ArrayList instead, and that could be the case, but it sounds like you would want to display the data later on, and a DefaultTableModel (for JTables) uses a Vector as data holder).

  • Best way to store, present en input date/time

    Hi!
    I hope I can make myself clear. I'm designing an APEX application that has a couple of different date-type fields. That application is going to be translated in two different languages, that has different date/time representations. For example: dd-mon-yyyy hh12:miAM and dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi. I'm now finding out what's the best way to store those date/time fields and hou I can present them in a report/form and how the user can enter them in a field.
    This is what I see:
    - I can set an application date format/application timestamp format. This has to be the in the format of the main language, in this case, English.
    - I also can make translated versions of the application. QUESTION: can I enter a different date format for the translated application?
    Do I have to make my fields of the date type or timestamp type?
    I hope someone can answer. If I'm not clear, please tell me!

    You can set the application date format using an application item
    &DATE_FORMAT_MASK.
    and set this item dynamically.

  • Best way to pass large amounts of data to subroutines?

    I'm writing a program with a large amount of data, around 900 variables.  What is the best way for me to pass parts of this data to different subroutines?  I have a main loop on a PXI RT Controller that is controlling hydraulic cylinders and the loop needs to be 1ms or better.  How on earth should I pass 900 variables through a loop and keep it at 1ms?  One large cluster??  Several smaller clusters??  Local Variables?  Global Variables??  Help me please!!!

    My suggestion, similar to Altenbach and Matt above, is to use a Functional Global Variable (FGV) and use a 1D array of 900 values to store the data in the FGV. You can retrieve individual data items from the FGV by passing in the index of the desired variable and the FGV returns the value from the array. Instead of passing in an index you could also use a TypeDef'd Enum with all of your variables as element of the Enum, which will allow you to place the Enum constant on the diagram and make selecting variables, as well as reading the diagram, simpler.
    My group is developing a LabVIEW component/example code with this functionality that we plan to publish on DevZone in a month or two.
    The attached RTF file shows the core piece of this implementation. This VI off course is non-reentrant. The Init case could be changed to allocate the internal 1D array as part of this VI rather than passing it from another VI.

  • Best way to store and back up data on Mac (retina)?

    Ok so I bought the 13 inch retina macbook pro (This is my very first mac btw, so I am still trying to get used to basic functions though it's getting there..) and I've researched it a bit but I have some issues on figuring out how I best should store my data.
    1. Is Time Machine not the best way to back up data? As it will delete the oldest data once the hardrive used is full?
    but on the other hand, backing things up manually will take a lot of pain and effort (Choosing the new files that haven't been transferred, accidentally copying a file you actually already put in your back up disk thus taking additional unnecessary space,etc) ...right?
    or is there a better way to do this?
    2. I want to have all media (music, photos, videos, anything except apps) on an external hard drive but I don't want to have to keep transferring it from iphotos or anything else to my external hard drive...
    Is there a way to do this a smarter way? It would be best if I could put everything directly to my harddrive instead of having to import thru iphotos (thus taking up space on my internal SSD first) THEN deleting it from iphotos :/
    As of now I am trying do configure this network storage system (called SeaGate GoFlex Home if anyone is interested) but I am wondering if this is really a reliable way to keep my stuff... I plan on putting music, photos and videos on there..along with word documents
    Is there a way to configure the mac to automatically download stuff to my external network drive instead of saving it on my SSD?
    Thanks in advance for any help /opinions

    Although Time Machine does delete oldest data when full, it doesn't back everything up every time - only the files that have changed since the last backup.  Storage is cheap these days so if you get a good sized drive (seems daft to get less than 1Tb and 2 or 3Tb cost not a great deal more), then unless you have a really large SSD on your MBP and fill it with stuff, it will be a long time before Time Machine starts deleting old stuff. Aim for a minimum of double your SSD capacity.
    This article gives a very detailed explanation of Time Machine and how it works - bear in mind that even when TM has to delete the oldest backups, it will not delete something that does not have a newer version.

  • Theory - Best way to store this type of data for retrieval?

    Hi everyone,
    So I'm pretty new to databases and I'm trying to figure out an efficient way to retrieve this kind of data:
    an ID that is 36 digits long
    col1 = {option1, option2, option3...}
    col2 = {option1, option2, option3...}
    coln = {option1, option2, option3...}
    I need to be able to perform queries on the data based on some concatenation of 3 digit sequences for the ID
    for example, I may want to retrieve all the records where the ID begins with '123' or where the ID begins with '123123', or '123123200', etc,
    There are going to be close to a billion if not more of these records
    the 3 digit sequences will always be a number between 000-255
    It is not necessary for me to have a 36 digit long ID, I simply chose that because it seemed like the simplest way to associate a record with its combination of 3 digit sequences.
    Like I said, I'm very new to databases. I've been doing a lot of reading on indexing and clustering and nested tables and partitions, but I'm not quite sure which of these I should pursue with this kind of data. Most of the examples that I've read about don't really deal about querying with variable precision.
    Would the best way to get this data simply be to use an 'is like' statement on the ID? If so, are there any kinds of indexing I should take a look at that would benefit from knowing that the is like statements would follow the format of <3 digits,3 digits,3 digits>? Also, at the data level, would it be more efficient to use hexadecimal to store the sequences of 3 digits since they conviently fall in the range of 00-FF? I'm just throwing ideas out there, I haven't found much help browsing the web, but maybe I haven't looked in the right place. If anyone has any ideas or places to redirect me, it would be great!
    Also, I know sometimes it helps to know the main kind of queries on the data that someone is primarily concerned about. In this case, most queries will be selective counts, for example finding the number of records whose ID's begin with '123006011' and col1='option1'.

  • Best way of handling large amounts of data movement

    Hi
    I like to know what is the best way to handle data in the following scenario
    1. We have to create Medical and Rx claims Tables for 36 months of data about 150 million records each - First month (month 1, 2, 3, 4, .......34, 35, 36)
    2. We have to add the DELTA of month two to the 36 month baseline. But the application requirement is ONLY 36 months, even though the current size is 37 months.
    3 Similarly in the 3rd month we will have 38 months, 4th month will have 39 months.
    4. At the end of 4th month - how can I delete the First three months of data from Claim files without affecting the performance which is a 24X7 Online system.
    5. Is there a way to create Partitions of 3 months each and that can be deleted - Delete Partition number 1, If this is possible, then what kind of maintenance activity needs to be done after deleting partition.
    6. Is there any better way of doing the above scenario. What other options do I have.
    7 My goal is to eliminate the initial months data from system as the requirement is ONLY 36 months data.
    Thanks in advance for your suggestion

    Hi,
    You should use table partitioning to keep your data on monthly partitions. Serach on table partitioning for detailed examples.

  • Best way to record 50 kS/s data to file

    I am trying to read data from a DAQ at a sampling rate of 50 kS/s and record it to a file. My application needs to run for at least a few hours. Initially, I tried a producer-consumer loop pattern with a Write to Measurement File Express VI, but it wrote the data too slowly, and my queue filled up. Now I am trying to use the Write to Spreadsheet File VI with or without a producer-consumer loop pattern (see attached VIs). Both seem to write data to file, but neither writes the number of datapoints I would expect (both have far fewer datapoints).
    What is the best way to write this data to file? This seems like a basic question, so if it has already been discussed at length in another forum, or if there are examples of it which someone could direct me to, that would also be appreciated.
    Thank you!

    I agree that TDMS is probably the best way to go for fast data streaming.
    I also want to point out that you can read TDMS files with some spreadsheet software. This makes it easier to manage and provides a method for human readability.

  • Best way to store a LOT of data?

    Hi guys,
    I have a program which contains two arrays of several objects(ie Objects containing other Objects) which I need to store. The arrays can be anywhere from 1000-7000 objects.
    I have used xstream to write this data to disk and I get a file size of about 300mb, which is about 1:1 ratio compared to having the object in memory at runtime.
    Does anyone know of any better algorithms to reduce to file size or is this impossible?
    Thanks!

    Alternatively, you could just use a GZip output stream to compress it on the way out. It would slow you down a bit, though.

  • Best way to store a lot of image files??

    I am working on a new project which involve user upload image to server and then do searching and view image. there will be a lot of image files. image will be displayed in web page as thumbnails, so there may be resized pic stored in server or resize on the fly.
    What is the best way to store image like this? as files in file system? database? etc...?
    Thank you very much

    Since seraching is invloved use a database. A file system is not good place to search in.
    Using a database will allow you to store additional data as well such as comments about the images or the ratings given by the users.
    Of course you will have to develop a propper table structure for this.
    Also do not generate thumbnails all the time instead cache them once they are created. Atleast the thumbnails of the images that are displayed often.
    Also store the last updted dates with the images so you can loow the images to be cached by the clients or the proxy server. That will reduce repatitive requests for the same image from same client.

    Hi,
    When you are asking about the "best method for BDB", you should first read this: http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/ref/am_conf/select.html
    When you know exactly what are the differences between the BDB access methods, then you will be able to figure out which is the best method for your requirements or to ask a more specific question.

  • Best way to store data from a plot on hard drive

    I have a DAQ set-up that will be on 24/7 for several days, and the whole time it's streaming data to an XY-Graph with a limited buffer.  My question is, what's the best way to store my plot data in such a way that I can empty out my plot every few hours but if I want to pull up data from a few hours ago I would just have an option on my initial VI to view any old saved plot data.
    Basically, I'm trying to not overload my RAM with all my plot data so I'd like to save it to the hard drive while my VI is running, and only display, for example the last 8 hours worth of data... I've been looking at TDMS, but I'm not sure if that's the right solution.  
    much thanks!

    Hi,
    You could save your data using TDMS as well as ASCII to simply load it in another application later.
    Attached VI shows you how to save your data to a File after a certain amount of iterations, you can combine this then with your code and a timestamp.
