Call for Recommendations for Database and Joystick

Can you please recommend a database product for Mac? I know about FileMaker but I was hoping for something less expensive with a good GUI front end. I use MySQL at work and am not happy with the GUI tools for MySQL.
Can you also please recommend a good joystick to use for XPlane 8?
Thanks!

FileMaker is the best option if you want a good GUI front end. It's not free like MySQL but the price is worth it.

  • How to set ORACLE_HOME for database and apps server in same server

    Hi, I have problem here to set ORACLE_HOME in .bash_profile for database and apps server. please help me to set this Oracle Home.
    Thanks

    If you mean to have both simultaneosly set on the same OS session, of course that's not possible. But you can configure them on your profile, and choose them when needed. The following is an excerpt from my .bash_profile
    export EDITOR=vi
    umask 022
    alias O='cd ${ORACLE_HOME}'
    o10()
    {       export ORACLE_SID=db102

  • Agents for database and application servers

    hi all,
    I have to go to a client site this week to install Gagents onto some database servers, some will be RAC and some application servers. it is on AIX. are there different agents for database and applications? In a RAC cluster do I need an agent per node?
    rgds
    alan

    When installing agents in a cluster (read - RAC), during the installation, on one of the screens, you will have the option of picking up all the nodes in the cluster. Else, if you are using a push or agent deploy method, you just have to pass the correct flag (can't remember) and then list all the nodes in the cluster.
    To your other questions, you do not need different agents for database, and app servers etc. The only time you would need different agents is when you are installing on different platforms.

  • Hardware configuration recommendations for database and VM work

    I'm looking for advice on system configuration for a computer to use at work for database, VM, and number-crunching applications. The database work will involve complex SQL queries against MySQL databases in the 5–50 GB range. I'll be using the computer for a variety of projects, and I'd like to configure and run Linux VMs on a per-project basis. The number-crunching will involve engineering applications, most of which will likely run in Linux. The database tables might be accessed from OS X or a Linux VM; I'm not sure at this point.
    Advice or recommended reading on internal RAID, SAS, Fibre Channel, and the like would be appreciated. Would it make sense to have a large SATA boot drive that stores the VM and a second high-throughput drive array for the database tables? If so, what are some good options for configuring the latter? Staying in the $5k–$7k range would be nice.
    Thanks,
    Andreas

  • Getting multiple intermittent calls for VOP_OPEN() and VOP_CLOSE() from kernel when copying files to my VFS

    When I try to copy a file to my mounted VFS, I get multiple VOP_OPEN() and VOP_CLOSE() commands intermittently. This behavior was not seen on OSX versions earlier to Mavericks. I used VOP_CLOSE() as event to trigger code to Check-in command to my server, as a result now I am getting multiple check-in requests from my kernel extension module which finally fail.
    How do I work around this issue on Mavericks?

    Hi Ncat,
    I might have had similar problems with yours. Finder stuck at 'Not Responding' while I boot my Macbook Pro with external HDD plugged in, my macbook heats up considerably maybe because it keeps trying to access the external disk. And Finder can only proceed after I unplugged my external hard disk.
    So what I did was:
    I rebooted my macbook into recovery mode (by holding cmd+R before / during the booting chime
    I used the Disk Utility from there (instead of from normal booting)
    Then I proceed to with 'Repair Permissions' and 'Repair Disk' for each and every partition of the external harddisk, and also my internal hard disk.
    Rebooted after everything's done, and now it seems to work.
    I hope that it will work for you

  • Any recommendations on productivity for database and project management, Bento was good but no longer sync with ical and address book

    I've unfortunately updated to the new Bento on MakBook and iPad and synced my data and in the process it tells me that iCal and Address books will not sync any more.  I have several projects I am working on and looking for something that will syn with iCal, address book and Busy Cal to manage my  time efficiently and seamlessly. Help?

    I think you're in the wrong forum - this is for developers, who write programs for apple products.
    As for Bento, their problem is due to Apple's changes in the API.  The code that syncs with calendars and contacts is now deprecated, which means at some point in the future, it will no longer work.  This problem will affect all developers, so you probably won't find any replacement for Bento.

  • I purchased an iMac MC309LL/A model A1311 21.5" All in one computer. I purchased it 8/28/11 and about 2 months ago it started powering down. I called for support and a Apple Customer Support, I did what they said and now it wont turn on at all.

    I purchased an iMac MC 309LL/A model A1311 21.5" All in one computer on 8/28/11. The computer stated to shut down on me every once in a while when I was working on it. I called Apple customer support and a rep walked me through deleting all of my cache files saying it was the prooblem. She then had me do a re-install with the installation disc. After doing that she said to turn my computer off then back on and the computer would want to run some updates an to let them run. I was told to call back if there were anymore problems. The computer turned on for a couple minutes then shut down again and won't turn back on at all now. I took it to the Apple store and they told me it was the main board that delivers power to the computer and it whoulld cost about $550 to replace. I have had this computer for 1 1/6 year and hardly use it. My tech told me the same thing happened to his. Doesn't this mean the equipment could be faulty?
    Who keeps track of how many of these are having the same problem and when should there be a recall. I have always used Dells at work. The one I have is 6 years old and works great. I have Compaq laptop at home that is almost 7 years old. I have never had a problem like this before and I can't believe that I spent$1300 for a computer that crashed after 1 yr 6 months. What's worse is that it is my first major Apple product other than my iPod Shuffle.

    Sorry to hear of your problem, but any hardware in a computer can fail - that includes the hard drive, the logic board, etc, etc. Fortunately, it usually doesn't happen that soon; however, I've read of hard drives failing within 6 months.
    So, since you did not purchase the extended Applecare Protection Plan (3 years coverage), you will need to make a decision to repair or sell it as is. I would always purchase 3 year coverage for an all in one or a laptop because repairs are expensive and at least I'd be covered for 3 years.
    We can't speculate on whether there should be a recall or not; these forums are for user to user assistance with technical problems. In your case, there is nothing we can help with since you've already gotten a diagnosis.

  • Another call for CMYK and full Adobe format support

    As a sometimes creative director, publisher, photographer, and graphic guy -- I'd like to see LR evolve into a complete tool to manage all of Adobe's "photo graphic' assets. I think it's fair to say that a "photo graphic" is now much more than a JPEG, TIF, PSD, or RAW file.
    In addition to the usual suspects, derivative "photo graphic" works often include PDFs, .INDD or .Ai files -- in both RGB and CMYK color spaces.
    Q: If LR is modular why would it be difficult for LR to ingest RGB previews for all Adobe file formats? Adobe already has algorithims to rasterize thumbnails for each format. Isn't it a logical extension that LR apply the same proven rasterization processes to build full previews?
    What's the problem and why the timidity? Thanks for reading ...

    Max...
    I think you posted to the wrong thread...this one is all about why Lightroom won't be getting CMYK...
    And yes, Adobe bought pixmantic to get Michael Jonsson who moved from Denmark to San Jose and is now working with the Camera Raw team of Thomas Knoll & Zalman Stern.
    Those are the guys responsible for the Camera Raw pipeline which also happens to be used in Lightroom. Michael isn't actually working on Lightroom directly but what he works on will end up in Lightroom by virtue of additions to the Camera Raw pipeline.
    "LightRoom is a metamorph of RawShooter"
    Yeah, that was pretty much wrong...
    "Majority of the pros cannot print 12x18 or larger prints in house. "
    Uh, that entirely depends on YOUR definition of the term "pro"...most of the pros I know have at least a printer that can output 17x22 for doing tabloid size proofs for clients. So, either an Epson 4800/3800 or Canon 5000.
    I personally have a 3800, 4800, 7800 and 9800 series of printers in the studio. Most of my work gets printed on the 7800 on 24" x 30" paper sizes but I do print 36" x 48" prints on the 9800. I rarely go larger than 36" wide.
    And if you are outputting to photo labs for volume prints, most of those labs require sRGB (stupid of them but true).
    I think your basic problem was you were making a whole bunch of assumptions, most of them wrong. Yes, Lightroom needs soft proofing...doh! Yes, Lightroom needs the ability to output to profiles other than color spaces...and yes, Lightroom ain't done yet. So, you can roll up your sleeves and help out or you can stand on the sidelines p!issing & moaning...
    Which is it?

  • Flat File-to-RFC question, multiple RFC calls for one file.

    Hi guys,
    I'm quite new to XI / PI and I have a question regarding a File-to-RFC scenario we're trying in NW PI 7.1.
    We have a flat file which has two lines with two fields each, let's take this as an example :
    001,001
    002,002
    The files needs to be converted to XML and then transferred to the RFC program which will update a table with the values above.
    In the ESR I've created 3 data types (z_row1,z_record1 and z_fileinput1), 1 message type (z_file2rfc_ob_mt), 1 message mapping (z_file2rfc_mm), 2 Service Interface (z_file2rfc_ob_si and z_file2rfc_ib_ztestpi) and 1 operation mapping (z_file2rfc_om).
    In the Integration Builder (ID) I've created everything required (The sender and receiver communication channels, sender and receiver agreement, receiver determination and interface mapping).
    We're also using content conversion to convert the flat file to XML, this does seem to work because I see all the lines/field in the message when it gets into PI. The problem is that the RFC can only accept two fields at a time and only the first line gets updated. I see that only the first line gets sent to the RFC.
    How can I make the RFC call for each and every line ?
    Thanks !!

    Create the RFC with table, which takes multiple lineitem as input and update the table in single call.
    If you want response back then call RFC as synchrounous else in Asynchrounous mode.
    By doing this in single call it will update the complete table.

  • Dynamic Parameter Prompting for Database Connection Password When schedulin

    I'm having problems with Dynamic Parameters when I try to schedule a report in InfoView.
    I create the report in Crystal Reports XI and publish it to the Crystal Server. I go into CMC and under Process:Database set the correct data source and enter the server, database, user and password.
    When the report is run I can choose a dynamic parameter and the reports runs fine - it's when I try to schedule the report and choose the parameter that I am asked to enter the user and password for the database.
    If the parameter is static it's fine and I don't get prompted. Because I want the end-users to schedule their own reports I need to have the user and password embedded in the report.
    From what I've read in the forums, there seems to be a lot of issues with dynamic parameters and database logons, and no real solutions. But this is just weird that it's only failing when I try to schedule the report!

    I am having the same issue. 
    Issue started on 9/25/2008
    Existing BO 11r2 installation including service pack 2
    Windows Server 2003 Service pack 2
    Existing scheduled reports do not exhibit this behaviour and run correctly.
    Add new or update existing report. Log into the CMC as administrator and set process for database and parameters.
    Exit CMC
    log into Infoview.  Click on report and run (as administrator OR as existing user with permissions) NO PROBLEM.
    Log into Infoview as Administrator or existing users with permissions) as attempt to schedule report.  All reports Any dynamic parameter and request for user name and password opens.  Once the correct info is entered the report can be scheduled.
    This is a new issue on our installation, we have been running without problems for over a year.
    Any help appreciated.

  • Database and ejb access in Input Processor, custom Validator

    Hi guys,
    I know the Portal docs recommend that database and ejb calls should be done in
    a Pipeline Component. Are transactions the only concern?
    I'd like to validate two fields. This can be easily accomplished by a an ejb
    method call that returns a boolean for one, and by running a simple select statement
    for the other. Are there any risks to creating custom validator classes to do
    this?
    Thanks

    David,
    Here are the characterstics of Pipelines and IPs:
    Inputprocessors:
    - Web App scope (classloaded by webapp classloader)
    - simple java class
    Pipelines/Pipeline Components:
    - Enterprise App scope (available to all webapps)
    - java class or EJB
    - can be transactional (can even rollback PipelineSession)
    - Pipelines executed from within the EJB container
    There is nothing illegal about putting EJB calls and JDBC calls into an Inputprocessor.
    For simple validation, this is probably okay. However, when doing heavy business
    logic, having the Pipeline manage a single transaction for your PCs is wonderful.

  • Security pane in preferences is missing cookies, databases and non-secure forms options?  Also Privacy Pane is totally blank?

    I wanted to delete some cookies.  But when I went to the Security Pane in Safari Preferences, it does not show any of the following categories/settings option:  nothing for cookes (nothing for accept or show or anything else about cookies), nothing for databases, and nothing for non-secure forms.  No controls for these are showing in the Security pane.  Also, the Privacy Pane in Safari preferenes is totally blank--I can't set anything on that.  Where are these controls/settings options, why can't I see them?  I am using OSX 10.6.8 and Safari Version 5.1.9, I have a Mac Book Pro 3.06 Intel. Thanks. 

    Uninstall SIMBL as follows. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Triple-click the line below to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V), and press return. A folder will open. From that folder, delete the items listed below (some may be absent.) You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Application Support/SIMBL
    InputManagers/SIMBL.bundle
    LaunchAgents/net.culater.SIMBL.Agent.plist
    ScriptingAdditions/SIMBL.osax
    Log out and log back in.
    Make sure you never reinstall SIMBL. It’s likely to come bundled with another third-party system modfication that depends on it. If you want trouble-free computing, avoid software that makes miraculous changes to other software, especially built-in applications. The only real exception to that rule is Safari extensions, which are mostly safe, and are easy to get rid of when they don’t work. SIMBL and its dependents are not Safari extensions.

  • Backup database and external files

    We have a web application that stores files in a separate folder outside the database, we want to do real time backup (while the users are connected to the application). If we run a scheduled task to backup the database and then the files, then the database and files will be out of sync, because if the database backup takes 5 mins for instance, then we will be backing up the files that are related to some records that were not added to backup.
    What is the best way to do real time backup for database and external files so that we have them both in synch?

  • Can I use one contacts database for phone and email?

    I have a gmail contacts list for email.  I also have a phone number database imported from a non-apple cell phone to my iPhone 5c.  I find that I'm using the iphone more and more for both phone and email, but I also use my PC for email.
    I exported my 300+ gmail contacts using google to a CSV file, cleaned it up, and imported it back to my PC.  Of course, it doesn't have the 200+ phone numbers that are in my phone number listing now on my iPhone.
    I like working with spreadsheets because of the many utilities to sort, cut/paste, etc.  If I take my gmail database, ultimately add phone numbers, and sync in iTunes will it be accessed whenever I want to make a call and also when I want to send an email?  I'm hesitant to sync with the new gmail "email only" database for fear of losing all of the many phone numbers in my iPhone. Can I keep my phone numbers temporarily while I edit my master contacts database - maybe by having separate databases on my iPhone for email and phone?  I hope to eventually keep a master PC database of all data on all entries and change/reimport as needed.
    Thanks for letting me know if this will work, or if there are any cautions that I should heed.

    Yes.

  • Best Practice For Database Parameter ARCH_LAG_TARGET and DBWR CHECKPOINT

    Hi,
    For best practice - i need to know - what is the recommended or guideline concerning these 2 Databases Parameter.
    I found for ARCH_LAG_TARGET, Oracle recommend to setup it to 1800 sec (30min)
    Maybe some one can guide me with these 2 parameters...
    Cheers

    Dear unsolaris,
    First of all if you want to track the full and incremental checkpoints, make the LOG_CHECKPOINT_TO_ALERT parameter TRUE. You will see the checkpoint SCN and the completion periods.
    Full checkpoint is being triggered when a log switch happens and checkpoint position in the controlfile is written in the datafile headers. For just a really tiny amount of time the database could be consistent eventhough it is open and in read/write mode.
    ARCH_LAG_TARGET parameter is disabled and set to 0 by default. Here is the definition for that parameter;
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/initparams009.htm
    If you want to set this parameter up the Oracle recommends it to be 1800 as you have said. This can subject to change from database to database and it is better for you to check it by experiencing it.
    Regards.
    Ogan
