Binary comparison and linguistic comparisons

I was doing some performance testing to see if I have linguistic comparisons turned on at a session level and NLS_Sort set to Japanese_M, can I still perform binary comparisons on some of my columns and make them use the binary index.
I was pleasently surprised to see that this worked.
alter session set nls_sort=Japanese_M nls_comp=linguistic
select * from test where nlssort(id, 'NLS_Sort=Binary') = nlssort('00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001', 'NLS_Sort=Binary');
As per the explain plan this was using the Binary index. I would have thought that since I am using a function nlssort, I would probably have to create a function base binary index for this to work.

The parser is clever enough, in some contexts, to recognize NLSSORT(...,'NLS_SORT=BINARY') and remove it from the query. This is the opposite operation to adding NLSSORT implicitly when NLS_COMP=ANSI/LINGUISTIC.

Linguistic comparison - When is it required

I have a question if linguistic comparison is required with operators like =
Also lets assume that I am not interested in performing a case insensitive or accent insensitive search.
My query may be something like
Select * from test where name = '{Japanese_Name}'
It looks like for cases where you are not interested in case or accent insensitivity there may not be a need to use linguistic comparison with = operator. Is this assumption correct.

I think all the document tells us is that NLS_Sort applies to = operator when NLS_Comp is set to Linguistic.
It still leaves us with the same open question of whether there is a need to make a query linguistic if it does not need to be case or accent insensitive. ( Once again this question is only for operators that perform exact string matches like the = operator)
The reason why this question is so important to me is, like I have posted in a different forum, I need to minimize the amount of changes we need to make to our sql queries. We have a lot of queries that are using the = operator on a column that stores multilingual data. I do realize that we can alter our session to set NLS_Sort and NLS_Comp and do not really have to change our queries. But making queries linguistic comes at a performance cost. We need to make sure that all the linguistic indexes exist and plus do additional performance testing.
I would not want us to go through all this effort only to find out there was no need to make these queries linguistic in the first place.

Time "and" Date Comparison

Hi,
I am trying to get the difference between two sets of time.
This also involves a Date comparison because sometimes the times span more than one day.
Here is an example of what I'm trying to accomplish. I have searched the forum archives but have not yet found time and date comparisons together.
startRun = "10/26/01 4:30 PM";
endRun = "10/27/01 7:45PM";
I want to process these two times and get the difference.
The result would be:
totalRunTime = "27 hours 15 minutes";
I am stumped. Is this type of process even possible? Any help would be grealty appreciated.

Cisco products and services comparisons

Wasnt sure where to post this...was hoping somebody could point me in the right direction...
anybody have any site, whitepaper, document of any kind that gives an outline of products and services comparison between cisco products and other network equipment (ie...vs Juniper, vs Brocade, vs Nortel, etc...)
thanks in advance.

Hi Bruce,
If youre a partner you can access the partner portal which has a small bit of competitive info.

I never miss class....my instructor gave us the assignment of making a heap sort and he told us to use code off the internet as a resource because the only sorting we have done so far is bubble.....this was a research project, for my instructor to see if we can use the internet as an effective resource to put together a program and learn about a differnet type of sorting.....everyone in the class got a different type of sort (merge, quick, insertion, etc...). i have put the program together and customized it to my needs based on my knowledge.....the last thing i am having trouble with is my counting of comparisons and data movements. Can you please help me finish up my program.

What exactly we do as part of Generate Comparison Terms and Evaluate Comparison terms

Dear Experts,
As part of SAP GTS area menuin SPL Screening process,
I could see below 3 options, I tried to understand by reading SAP HELP and other available documents, but not able to understand completely .
Can you please help me in by explaining these 3 terms.
● Generate comparison terms
● Evaluate comparison terms
● Aggregate comparison terms
Thank you
Rama

Hi Rama,
It is quite simple and below is the required explanation.
Generate Comparison Terms:- This is used to generate comparison terms up for comparison with Business Partners after the exclusion of various exception terms like aliases etc . to get a proper term for comparison.
Evaluate Comparison Terms:- This feature is used to define how much percentage a particular search term should fulfill to qualify for comparison.
Aggregate Comparison Terms:- This is used to keep the aggregate and keep the comparison terms handy for ready reference against Business Partners during SPL check. This drastically increases the system performance.
The real meaning of the above terms will be more clear when you will go inside each of these areas and check what it is doing.
Regards,
Aman

Oracle DB schema and data comparison tools that compare BLOBs

I'm looking for schema and data comparison tool like DBDiff or DbTools, but it has to be able to compare BLOB and CLOB fields. I went thru few products available on the market but could not find any that does that.
Can you please recommend tool that will help me with it.
Thanks,
E

Hi.
I use Comparenicus for Oracle from Orbium Software. It compares data and schema, CLOBs, BLOBs..
It can also handle large tables which is very useful for some of my environments.
Last (but not least) it has a unique feature for copying selective data from one DB to another. You can read about it this post:
Efficient way to copy business data from Production DB to Test DB

SSIS and timestamp comparison for selection

Hi all.
I have a situation I do not understand how to fix.
I have two tables - one to store settings and another one the store some data.
My SQL Server is of 2008 R2 version.
My Visual Studio is of 2008 version (I tried to work in VS 2013 with SSDT of the latest version installed - all the same).
The data table has a column of timestamp data type.
I'm using the timestamp column as determinator and I put max value of the timestamp column in the settings table after my process completes.
Then I need to get that stored value and select from the data table only records which timestamp value is bigger than one stored in the settings table.
What do I do to reproduce the situation.
I created SSIS package.
I added new variable of string data type, called it "LastTS".
Then added new "Execute SQL Task", entered "SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(18), LastTimestamp) FROM Parameters", mapped result set to User::LastTS variable.
Then I added new "Data Flow Task".
In that task I added "OLE DB Source" and entered "SELECT c.ProtocolType, c.[Timestamp] AS StatusChangeTime FROM Command AS c WHERE c.[RowVersion] > cast(? as binary(8))" and mapped its resultset for next processing.
Everything is ok.
Now I start my package.
My LastTS variable gets its right value.
But my "OLE DB Source" fails with message as follows:
[OLE DB Source [1]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21.
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 10.0" Hresult: 0x80040E21 Description: "Invalid character value for cast specification".
What is the problem?
I found a lot of answers like "you can use string variable to work with timestamp data" but nothing helped.
What should I do to resolve my problem?

IT worked fine for me. Here's a complete package:

How do you open multiple binary files and plot them all on the same graph?

I have three different binary files and I want to plot all 3 of them onto a graph.
I am familiar with opening and reading a single binary file. (Thanks to the help examples!)
But to do multiple numbers at the same time? I was thinking of putting 3 different 'reading from binary file' blocks with the rest of the 'prompts', 'data type', etc.. and then connecting them on the same wire.
However, I got into a mess already when I tried to read one .bin file to dynamic data type --> spectral measurements --> graph waveform. The error was Not enough memory to complete this operation... Why is that? That didnt happen in the help example "Read Binary File.vi"... Has it got something to do with the dynamic data type?
Thank you for your time.
Jud~

Have a look at the image below and attached VI. Simply enter the different paths into the PathArray control.

Write string (7 chars), int16, sgl into binary file and read it in C

How to write write string (7 chars), int16, sgl, string (5 chars) into binary file and then read it in C ?
Total 18 Bytes file (binary) should be created.

Hi,
this could be done that way:
You have to make sure the strings have their correct length!

Java binary search and insert

I'm currently writing a program which is an appointment book. I currently have 4 classes and at the minute it can sort the array and print it out. I'm stuck at binary search and inserting a new appointment record. I will include the classes which i have got.

Binary tree and avl tree

hi iam not able to get the binary tree and avl tree in swings please any one help me
thanks in advance

Hi Rastabot.
If you look closely, it's not that different after all.
In each step of your recursion you need to do two things: decide whether to keep recursing, and decide what to return to the previous recursive call.
If you are trying to traverse your entire tree, then your logic to determine when to recurse and when not to is exactly the same as your example.
What you want to return each time is the number of operators in and below the node in the tree. One useful property of such an expression tree is that all the operands become leaves of the tree, and all other tree nodes are operators. Therefore, if the current node is a leaf node (your subTree == null case in your example), then that node is not an operator and has no operators below it in the tree, therefore you can return zero as the number of operators in or below that node. On the other hand, if the node is not a leaf node (your else case) then it must be an operator, and therefore you would return 1 (for that operator) plus the number of operators in each subtree below that node.
This is very similar to what you have already posted - mostly, where you have strings you need to replace with integer equivalents.
I can help with this if you need.
Mac.

Read binary file and convert to readable text

I have a binary file which i want to read in and then convert it into readable text. How can i do this?

I have a binary file which i want to read in and then
convert it into readable text. How can i do this?Your question is a bit too vague to be answered. Here's an example -- suppose a file contains the bitstream 11011110101011011011111011101111. (just four bytes full of bits). If one 'converts' this bit stream using four byte big-endian integral values into a hexadecimal representation, the outcome would be 'deadbeef'. Using a little endian conversion, the outcome would be 'efbeadde'. All three text strings you're reading right now (the binary one, and both hexadecimal versions) are readable representations of the actual bitstream ... which one do you want?
OTOH, if you want to know what's stored in a .class file (this is a Java forum isn't it?), have a look at 'pjava'; it comes with your SDK.
kind regards,
Jos
