CF9 - Best way to compare LDAP data in .ldf file against database?

Hello, everyone.
I am tasked with creating a script that will take LDAP information from a .ldf file and compare each entry to a database, adding names that meet certain criteria.
What is the best way to do this? I've never worked with LDFs, before.
Thank you,
^_^

JDBC concerns connecting to the database. I have only worked on Oracle and I am not sure if this function is one of theirs or SQL standard. Basically it works like this:
The following statement combines results with the MINUS operator, which returns only rows returned by the first query but not by the second:
SELECT product_id FROM inventories
MINUS
SELECT product_id FROM order_items;

What's the best way to read/write data from a file (preferably a *.txt file)?

As in the title. l have revived a couple of old VIs to read and write three numbers and a 1D array of clusters to/from a *.txt file. The functionality is not very user friendly, and it would also be useful if one could open the text files (manually - not through LabVIEW) and still be able to see/understand what was there.
I was wondering if anyone would be able to come up with a more efficient and/or user friendly method (compatible with lv6.1)

My primary goal is to have something that works and is easy and comprehensive to operate. Generating a human-readable file is just a bonus but would be nice if it could be achieved.
I enclose pictures of the initial file dialog (for both loading and saving the data - referred to as Spec(s) from hence forth), and of the front panel screen seen when a) loading a spec and b) saving a spec. In the file dialog, you have to already know the exact string to input else you'll just be told the file doesn't exist (applies for both loading and saving). When saving a spec, you cannot see any files previously saved, nor even any previous specs saved within the file. This means that one can unwittingly overwrite specs without realising it.
I'm not sure if I've explained this very well, but the current functionality means that far too much can go wrong. Additionally, if you forget the file name, you'll have no way of knowing what it should be (the data files are stored on a 'locked' part of our network accessible only by Admin or through the LabVIEW executable

Best way to compare data of 2 tables present on 2 different servers

Hi,
We are doing data migration and I wil like to compare data between 2 tables which are present on 2 different server. I know to find the difference i can go for minus or full outer join and by creating the database link.
But my problem is the volume of the data. The tables under consideration has approximately 40-60 columns and number of rows in each tables are around 60-70 million. Also both the tables are on 2 diffferent servers.
I would like to know
1] What will be the best way to compare the data and print the difference from performance perepective? I know that if I am going for DB links then its will definitely impact the performance as the tables are across 2 different servers.
2] Is it advisable to go for using SQL - PL/SQL for this kind of senario or dump the data in flat files and use C or C++ code to find the difference.
Regards,
Amol

Check this at asktom.oracle.com. Search for "Marco Stefanetti" and follow the few posts between Marco and Tom. As far as your tables being on separate servers, you could consider dumping the data to file and using external table or using CTAS ( create table as select ) to get both tables locally.

Best way to check the data

I have a made some changes to an existing view. The change is adding a join and a new column from new table. I have created a version2 with all these changes. I want to make sure that same data exists in both the views. what is the best way to test the data.

Bad wording, the query results could be:
No rows selected. Same number of rows on both views and same data (considering view1 structure and view without the new column)
At least one row selected. If the count(*) on both was different, rows returned will be at least the difference. If the count was the same, then every returned row means that there's no equivalent row on view2 and a data difference may exist in at least one of the fields, so You have to find the equivalent row on view2 to compare.
On the query sintaxis, as view2 hava a new column and I guess it's not a constant value, You have to specify every column for the view1, and the same columns for view2, so new field isn't included and compared.

Paragon even has non-destriuctive conversion utility if you do want to change drive.
Hard to imagine using 3TB that isn't NTFS. Mac uses GPT for default partition type as well as HFS+

What is the best way to mimic the data from production to other server?

Hi,
here we user streams and advanced replication to send the data for 90% of tables from production to another production database server. if one goes down can use another one. is there any other best option rather using the streams and replication? we are having lot of problems with streams these days they keep break and get calls.
I heard about data guard but dont know what is use of it? please advice the best way to replicate the data.
Thanks a lot.....

RAC, Data Guard. The first one is active-active, that is, you have two or more nodes accessing the same database on shared storage and you get both HA and load balancing. The second is active-passive (unless you're on 11.2 with Active Standby or Snapshot Standby), that is one database is primary and the other is standby, which you normally cannot query or modify, but to which you can quickly switch in case primary fails. There's also Logical Standby - it's based on Streams and generally looks like what you seem to be using now (sort of.) But it definitely has issues. You can also take a look at GoldenGate or SharePlex.

Best Way to port the data from one DB to another DB using Biztalk

Hi,
please suggest best way to move the data from one db to another DB using biztalk.
Currently I am doing like that, for each transaction(getting from different source tables) through receive port, and do some mapping (some custom logic for data mapping), then insert to target normalized tables(multiple tables) and back to update the status
of transaction in source table in sourceDB. It is processing one by one.
How/best we we can do it using bulk transfer and update the status. Since it has more than 10000 transaction per call.
Thanks,
Vinoth

Hi Vinoth,
For SQL Bulk inserts you can always use SQL Bulk Load
adapter.
http://www.biztalkgurus.com/biztalk_server/biztalk_blogs/b/biztalksyn/archive/2005/10/23/processing-a-large-flat-file-message-with-biztalk-and-the-sqlbulkinsert-adapter.aspx
However, even though a SQL Bulk Load adapter can efficiently insert a large amount of data into SQL you are still stuck with the issues of transmitting the
MessageBox database and the memory issues of dealing with really large messages.
I would personally suggest you to use SSIS, as you have mentioned that records have to be processed in specific time of day as opposed to when the
records are available.
Please refer to this link to get more information about SSIS: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms141026.aspx
If you have any more questions related to SSIS, please ask it in
SSIS
forum and you will get specific support.

What is the best way to export the data out of BW into a flat file on the S

Hi All,
We are BW 7.01 (EHP 1, Service Pack Level 7).
As part of our BW project scope for our current release, we will be developing certain reports in BW, and for certain reports, the existing legacy reporting system based out of MS Access and the old version of Business Objects Release 2 would be used, with the needed data supplied from the BW system.
What is the best way to export the data out of BW into a flat file on the Server on regular intervals using a process chain?
Thanks in advance,
- Shashi

Hello Shashi,
some comments:
1) An "open hub license" is required for all processes that extract data from BW to a non-SAP system (including APD). Please check with your SAP Account Executive for details.
2) The limitation of 16 key fields is only valid when using open hub for extracting to a DB table. There's no such limitation when writing files.
3) Open hub is the recommended solution since it's the easiest to implement, no programming is required, and you don't have to worry much about scaling with higher data volumes (APD and CRM BAPI are quite different in all of these aspects).
For completeness, here's the most recent documentation which also lists other options:

I am giving away a computer, what is the best way to wipe out data prior to depature

i am giving away a computer, what is the best way to wipe out data prior to depature

Did the Mac come with two grey disks when new? If so, use disk one to erase the drive using Disk Utility and then re-install the OS from the same disk. Once installed, quit and when the new owner boots they can set it up as a new out-of-the-box Mac when they boot it up. The grey disks need to be passed on with the computer.
If you need detailed instructions on how to erase and re-install please post back.
If the Mac came with Lion or Mountain Lion installed the above process can be done using the Recovery HD as since Lion no restore disks are supplied with the Mac.
The terms of the licence state that a Mac should be sold/passed on with the OS installed that was on the machine when new (or words to that effect).

Best way to accept a date from a user

Hi Guys,
Whats the best way to get a date from a user and add it in an
insert record to access.
I have a form that adds a record and it works well enough as
long as the data added is in the correct format.
Untill now ive just had a text box with an explination to the
user on how to add the date and what format....
But Im fed up with having to change bad entrys and need to
place a control or something on the form but dont know whats
easiest and best?
Any ideas welcome.
Thanks

If you want today's date set the database up to insert the
date
automatically. If you want other dates than today's use a
date picker or
calendar to insert the date.

Best way to store historical data

Hello:
I'm currently developing an application that monitors some phisycal
variables such as temperature and differential pressure in different
locations. I also must do historical datalogging of the values read so
the user can generate reports of the historical data. What is the best
way to save the data? I was thinking about using and SQL-based database
and use a table for each variable, an make some maintenance on the
database after certain time to avoid it getting too big, but I'm opened
to any suggestions
Thanks in advance!

What is the best way to edit meta data..

What is the best way to edit meta data and tag photos, faces, places etc. and have the data saved to the original photo.
On a PC I would just use Windows Gallery. iPhoto on the Mac allows for some tagging, but it doesn't save to the original file.
I like to have my photos in a folder, edit them and save the changes.
What software would work best on a MAC to accomplish this?
Thanks for any help,
Nick

iPhoto is a database and any metadata you add or edit is available in any app - if you learn how to use it.
iPhoto is a non-destructive processor. It never touches the original file - it treats it like a film shooter treats the negative.
If you want a copy of the original file with the metadata included simply export a copy.
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
As an FYI:
For help accessing your photos in iPhoto see this user tip:

Best way to edit/update data in JSP ?

Hi Friends,

It's easy if you want upade game files, not game engine binary.
You can make your app that will load swf file. So you can make engine that will load all files externaly from device. Firstly you run app and if it connected by wifi - ask user for upadate wish and that simply download from http files as binary and save they using FileSystem

Best way to "page" through data?

If I have a XM, something like
<people>
<person>
<firstname>john</firstname>
<lastname>smith</lastname>
</person>
<person>
<firstname>robert</firstname>
<lastname>walker</lastname>
</person>
</people>
And I create some bound fields to display this, what's the best way to "page" the data?
I know I can create an XML variable of the data and then access person[0].firstname, but I need to have a button or other ui element that would choose person 0,1,2,3 etc.
Normally I's use a list, but this application calls for a static screen where only the data changes when buttons are chosen.

I use this method(this is simplified) as it doesn't require any sort of data services, you can have change events etc for editing/deleteing. the slider is just for poc, a prev/next button could just as easily do.

Best Approach to Compare Current Data to New Data in a Record.

Which is the best approach in comparing current data to new data for every single record before making updates?
What I have is a table with 5,000 records that need to be updated every week with data from a data feed, but I dont want to update every single record week after week. I want to update only records with different data.
I can think of these options:
1) two cursors (one for current data and one for new)
2) one cursor for new data and one varray for current data
3) one cursor for new data and a select into for current data.
Thanks for your help.

I don't recommend it over merge, but in theory you could use a checksum (OWA_OPT_LOCK.checksum()) on the rows and if they differ then copy the new row into the destination table. Or you might be able to use rowscn to see if things have changed.
Like I said, I don't know that I 'd take either approach over merge, but they are options.
Gaff
Edited by: Gaff on Feb 11, 2009 3:25 PM
Actually, rowscn between 2 tables may not be an option. I know you can turn a rowscn into a time value so if that rowscn is derived from anything but the column values for the row that would foil that approach.
