Can I define more than one table in one External Content Type

Hello,
I am new to the BCS development using SharePoint Designer 2010. I tried to create multiple SQL tables by referring to the same External Content Type with no success. Since the External Content Type shows all my SQL tables in the same database,
I though it would allow me to create a different list on another table from the same database. Is this possible?
When I tried to use the same External Content Type for the second table, it refers back to the first table identifier unless I create another External Content Type refer to the same database but point to the different table.
Please advise,
Brian.

As far as I know you can only use one table per external content type.

How can i join more than 20 tables which contains more than 5 lacks records

how can i join more than 20 tables which contains more than 5 lacks records

If you're trying to join 20 tables I would check:
- Are all the joins necessary. It's easy sometimes to just join to another table because you're unsure as to whether it's required.
- What sort of application is it? 20 joins seems a lot to me. Are you trying to achieve too much with one query? Is it possible to break the problem down?
- If it is necessary to join so many tables then force the use of hash joins in the query, especially if you're processing a lot of data and want the best throughput. If you want a quicker response, this will not be a appropriate.

Can I authorize more than five computers on one iTunes account?

Can I authorize more than five computers on one iTunes account? I have several PC's being used as HTPC's and I'd like to use iTunes on all of them. My three iPhones and three PC's have taken up all of my authorizations. If I need to create a second iTunes account, can it be linked to my existing account?

Todd, some suggested reading, none of which looks to me as requiring authorization as an iTunes device for Apple TV:

How can I define more than one baseline in a line chart??

How can I add more than one straight line across a graph to indicate a target value? The values are percentages.
Thanks a lot!!!

When I have needed to indicate a target line on a chart, I have written a formula that would return a negative or positive number for each group. Then when I chart on the formula, it creates a baseline, with those groups beating the target above the baseline, and those failing to meat the target below the baseline. Percentage calculations work well on these types of charts.

How can I sync more than 10 devices to one apple id for itunes

We have a lot of apple devices in our family, more than 10. We all want to share apps and music outside of our house, but I don't know how to do it. I have iTunes Match, but once again - only 10.

Each person should get their own Apple ID so they can individually sync and maintain their personal files and other data. If you have but one computer to share, then each user should have a separate user account on the computer.
Although your computer can handle more than one user account, iDevices are intended for a single user, not multiple users sharing the same account or Apple ID.

How can I define more than one termination character for RS-232 interface communication?

Hi,
I have to communicate through the PC's RS-232 interface with a microprocessor board. I am using the "Advanced Serial Write and Read.vi" out of the LabVIEW examples and it works on principle.
My problem is the termination character: It looks like I just can set one termination character, EITHER 0xA (so LF / newline) OR 0xD (CR / carriage return), but I have the need to react on various termination characters like "<CR> <LF> <CR> <LF> OK <CR> <LF>" or "<CR> <LF> <LF>"; which I would like to set in a control (this VI will be used in a TestStand sequence).
Is there a way to do that, so that I can set wichever termination character(s) I need? The property node in "VISA configure serial port" just accepts an unsigned integer, nothing else. Sure I can get it running with the timeout - but this is not very nice and extends testing time unnecessarily.
Thanks & Regards!

That would be for the write. The poster is asking about the read. For the read you will need to write your own read routine. You will basically need to use a loop and inside the loop use the VISA Bytes at Serial Port to see if there's any bytes available. Read that many bytes, and append them to a string that you build up in a shift register. After concatenation check to see if you've got the termination characters. If so, the read is done. Fairly simple. Be sure to turn off the termination character enable in the VISA Configure.

Can I install more than one PCI1409 in a PC

I have to capture two RGB sources for identical treatment. Can I install more than on PCI1409 in one PC ? Is there a limitation of the number of cards ?

You can install multiple cards in a single computer. The main limitation is bandwidth of the PCI bus. I am not sure exactly what that limit is, but I don't think you would have any problem acquiring two RGB signals at normal rates.
If you have to process the images as you acquire them, you could run out of processing power, though.

How can I authorize more than 5 computers?

With the purchase of new laptop, I have reached the limit of 5 authorized computers. However, only 2 are in use; the other 3 have been passed on to fellow employees. Their hard drives were completely erased, so there is no risk of anyone else using the authorized itunes accounts. How can I get additional authorizations?

You can't get more than five at any one time. But if you've reached five authorizations for that account, there will be a button in your iTunes Store account information that will allow you to deauthorize all systems associated with that account. Log into your iTunes Store account and you should see it. You can then reauthorize the computers you're using now.
Next time don't forget to deauthorize the systems before you let them out of your hands. You can only do the mass-deauthorization once per year.
Regards.

Unable to edit ReadItem and ReadList operations on one specific external content type

I'm experiencing a strange behavior. Here is the scenario:
- In Sharepoint Designer I create external content type A that uses external system X
- I define ReadItem and ReadList operations for this external content type
- I then create external content B that uses the exact same external system X and define ReadItem and ReadList operations for this external content type
- I then go back to external content type A, select ReadList and click Edit This Operation
- I get a message : "This operation cannot be matched with any objects in your data source. There may be an error in the operation definition in Business Data Connectivity Metadata Store or the data source schema has changed since the operation
was created"
- I tried to edit ReadList operation of external content type B and it works with no problems.
- so I delete the ReadItem and ReadList operations for external content type A, refresh external system X, and then recreate the ReadItem and ReadList operations for external content type A.
- When I try to edit the ReadList (or ReadItem) operation I get the same error message and I'm not able to edit this operation.
This used to work a week or so ago, meaning that I was able to edit the ReadItem and ReadList operations for both external content types. Now, the operations cannot be edited anymore for external content type A but can be edited with no problems for
external content type B. For content type A, if I want to make any changes I have to delete the ReadItem and ReadList operations and recreate them. Does anybody have any idea as to what the problem might be? These two external content types
use the same external system which is a table of employees and project they worked on. The only difference is that external content type A has a filter by employee ID defined and external content type B has a filter by project ID defined.
thanks,

Hi bbatl,
I did a test as the followigs:
Open SQL Management Studio, create a table containing a filed called “employee ID” and a filed called “project ID”.
Add some data into the table.
Open my site with SharePoint Designer 2010, create a new external content type called TestA.
Connect the external content type TestA to the table that I created in step 1.
Create Read Item and Read List operations in the content type. When creating Read List operation, add a filter based on “employee ID”.
Click Save.
Create another external content type called TestB
Connect the external content type TestB to the table which was created in step 1.
Create Read Item and Read List operations in the content type. When creating Read List operation, add a filter based on “project ID”.
Click Save.
Then I went back to edit the Read List operation of external content type TestA via clicking Read List operation under External Content Type operations->Edit Operation.
No error displayed.
So, I could not reproduce this issue.
Whether you got the error when you clicked “Edit Operation” in SharePoint Designer. Please provide a screenshot about this issue.
Please check whether someone has changed the table special for the column “employee ID”.
And whether you have created an external list using the problematic external content type. If yes, please check whether it could work well.

Wendy
