Check this one out --Interesting

I have created lexer as given below.
begin
ctx_ddl.create_preference('LL_lexer_new','BASIC_LEXER');
end;
begin
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('LL_lexer_new','printjoins','-_~!@#$%^&*(){}[],=?\;|><.');end;
But when CONTAINS Search String contain * or ( or ) in the search string, then error given below is comming
Example stmt is
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM TABLE_NAME WHERE CONTAINS(COLUMN_NAME,'%#if ( EngM_swtNumCylVal_C == 5 )
FBC_dBPFacDen2_CA, VBLK (1:0.9391; 2:0.9391)
#endif ! 5 Zylinder

ORA-20000: Oracle Text error:

DRG-50903: invalid weight dd
When we use { } then no error is comming and it is returning 0 rows.
But My Point is that when I use the Like Operator Instead of Contains Operatorm, some records are comming.

In general you should let us decide whether a problem is "interesting" rather than attempting to artificially stimulate our sense of enthusiasm. Quite frankly by this time of the week we generally haven't got one.
Anyway, check out my response Re: Can Anyone Tell the Reason WHY?????????????? to understand just how uninteresting this really is.

    I don't work for M-AUDIO but i support everything they do

    "The only problem that I see with this is that it only has one firewire port. That could mean problems for many people as most laptops only have one firewire port - you can't guarantee a reliable connection through a secondary FW port on an external HD or through a hub."
    My Powerbook only has one firewire port. Right now, I connect my Ozonic into the 2nd port on my Lacie firewire drive, which then goes to my laptop port. Is this generally unstable? I can record 4 tracks simultaneous, with no problems into Logic, Pro Tools and Live. Do you foresee problems if I went to get a ProjectMix and an ADAT interface and record 16 tracks? With the infamous "Davec test" (http://duc.digidesign.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=335638&page=&view=&sb=5&o=&fp art=1&vc=1) I can do 26 tracks in Pro Tools. I'd never have that many plugins running if i were to do 16 at once.

  • I can't figure this one out...

    I've imported a .swf file into one of my table cells. The
    cell is 700x200. The .swf file is 700x200.

    I've recut and resaved my .psd file TWICE. I can't figure
    this one out.
    It seems that the flash file is stretching or something, its
    off one pixel on the right. When i set my flash file at 699 width,
    it was one pixel off on the right.
    Can any offer any suggestions. I'm completely out of ideas.
    Thanks in advance.

    it looks like the graphic's width might have been transformed
    at 101% in Flash.
    If the actual image file has the right width, I don't see any
    other possible explanation.
    You should double check in Flash authoring, select your
    graphic (or your MC or whatever object you
    might have converted it to) and open the transform and/or
    info panel. One of these panels will show
    you the % width and height ratio of your object...

  • Performance Issue - sitting this one out

    Hi,
    as mentioned in a previous post, I am having serious difficulty with navigation in the grid view. There is no way I am getting any kind of satisfactory scroll movement, either with the mouse nor with the tablet. For a program which is expicitely intended to handle large number of pictures and navigating through them, this is not acceptable.
    To make this clear: I love the new features in LR3, especially the noise reduction improvements and the lens corrections; also the fine tuning instruments for sharpening are worth mentioning. However, if I spend most of my time (and nerves) to get to the picture I want to manipulate instead of getting any of my actual work done, it is time to do something about it.
    On the ohter hand, LR 2.7 was working just fine; no performance problem (asside from occasional hangups using the correction brush for too long, getting a lot of brush strokes where god himself would't want 'em).
    After fiddeling with my graphics card settings, cache settings, even turning off my anti- virus software for testing, and trying what not, I decided to sit this one out: I'll rather use an inferior LR 2.7 that works than a superior LR 3 which doesn't work (talking about contradition in terms...).
    So I'll keep on using third- party noise reduction and lens correction software and wait if the adobe engineers find the time to tackle the problem.
    Just a finshing thought: distributing menory- hog- software usually is the domain of Microsoft, isn't it? I believe mass- market- compatible software should run (not walk...) on mass- market- hardware.
    I hope enough people may comment this in the like of "me, too", so that the adobe guys might take notice.
    Thanks,
    Mike.

    Same for me! Editing pictures with LR3 takes soooooo long on my computer (Win 7 64 bits, Intel Core i7 860 , ATI Radeon 48700, 4 Go RAM) that is it not possible to work. LR3 is using 60% of my RAM each time I zoom in the picture, chnage picture or do a local correction. It often crashes. Open in PS CS4 can be painful too.
    Listening to Victoria Bampton's advice, I have deleted the lrpreview folder and rebuilt the standard preview. FOr a few days it worked bbetter, but after imprting a bunch of pictures, it is slow again.
    Photo is my job and LR my every day tool. I hope the fix will come very soon, just can't wait!

    Hi Lucas,
    Try this:
    Formula in D2 (and Fill Down) =IF(C2<8, A2,A2+B2)
    The IF function follows the logic of if, then, else.
    IF(this is true, then do this, else do that)
    If it is raining, then stay at home, else hold a picnic .

  • So you think you are an Java uber-geek? Then figure this one out. . .

    Ok, uber-Java geeks, let's see if you can figure this one out. It' s butt-ugly and got me totally stumped.
    This is in a Tomcat 5.5 environment.
    I have a jsp (hierarchy.jsp) which has static nested class called MgmtAuthBean. This hierarchy.jsp creates a TreeMap object which contains instances of the static nested class, MgmtAuthBean. So, after compilation of the hierarchy.jsp, I end having 2 jsp's:
    hierarchy_jsp.java <==== original jsp
    hierarchy_jsp$MgmtAuthBean.java <==== nested static class jsp
    Ok, easy to understand so far. . .now for the rub. . .
    The hierarchy_jsp.java then saves the TreeMap object in a session.
    Another servlet (ExcelServlet) then accesses this saved session object, but in the process of reconstituting the TreeMap object, it requires access to the nested static class hierarchy_jsp$MgmtAuthBean.java.
    The problem is that ExcelServlet craters because it can't find hierarchy_jsp$MgmtAuthBean.java in order to reconstitute the TreeMap object.
    Since jsp's are dynamically created when called, how do I point either the Tomcat container or ExcelServlet to hierarchy_jsp$MgmtAuthBean.java?
    For reason's too stupid to explain, I can't get rid of the static nested class, so I have to figure out how to make this work. . .
    :)

    Tomcat provides a utility for pre-compiling JSP into Servlet class files. This can also be done in ANT. You can precompile the JSP which will create the inner class file and then compile the Java files that need the inner class file. It may take some tweaking to get all of the classes to compile in the correct order.
    A possible alternative is t have the inner class implement an interface. the hierarchy_jsp can then refer to the contents of the TreeMap as instances of the interface instead of as instances of the inner class.

  • See if you can figure this one out...

    First off, I use FireFox, not Safari (Safari is great, but FF works better for me)...
    So here's the deal: I use MySpace as means of making some important contacts. I have a Power Mac G5 connected to a Linksys router (Model# RT41-BU) which is behind a Motorola SB-5100 cable modem. I also have three Windows XP machines on the same network.
    I have no problem with any other website except MySpace. As soon as I log in, I can usually get to 2-3 pages fine. As soon as I click to access probably the 4th page, I start timing out. My computer will stall for up to 1-2 minutes. Eventually the page will either load (usually just partially at this point) or I will get a time-out error (btw, by "stalling" I mean I just sit there and wait, and wait, and wait for a page to load...NOT that the actual computer has frozen and is not responding).
    If, after getting the time-out error, I then click “Try Again” the page will usually then IMMEDIATELY load w/ no problem (occasionally I will get the timeout page again after a few minutes).
    If I choose to QUIT Firefox during the stalling, but BEFORE I get the time out error, and immediately open it back up, I start stalling again (at this point it’s merely trying to load my homepage, which, of course is apple.com/startpage).
    If I try to go to the EXACT same pages on my Windows XP machine using Firefox I have absolutely NO problem loading any pages whatsoever…UNLESS:
    If I, again QUIT Firefox on my Mac BEFORE getting the timeout error…walk 5 feet over to my Windows machine and try to load my home page (Yahoo.com), it will stall. I usually have to then wait about 1-2 minutes, and it will start back up again, and I then have no problems.
    Here’s where it gets REALLY interesting:
    If I DISCONNECT my Linksys router, and plug my Mac DIRECTLY into the back of my cable modem (in other words, disassemble the network, and have the modem shooting stright to the mac), I DON’T have this problem. I can log into MySpace hit any page, just as I can with my Windows machine.
    Because the problem DOES NOT occur to my Windows machine while it’s ON the network, and DOES NOT occur with my Mac when it’s OFF the network, all signs point to some sort of issue with certain Macs running on certain Linksys routers. There must be some sort of conflict between the two, but I IMAGINE that there HAS to be either some sort of tweak or some sort of patch that will fix this issue.
    I have had this issue from day one of owning this computer (about 4 months). It has never worked on the router properly.
    I have tried reformatting the machine and reinstalling everything. No change.
    I have tried lowering the MTU on both my router configuration and mac network config anywhere from 1400 to 750, with no noticable change.
    I have tried several different browsers (Firefox, Safari, IE for Mac & even Opera) but still have the same results.
    I’ve gone into the “about:config” page of Firfox and turned on network.http.proxy.pipelining and set the max requests to 16, with no new results.
    I have tried disabling javascripting…nothing.
    I have also tried contacting Linksys, and the only thing they can suggest is lowring my MTU again (It’s obvious by talking to them that English is also not their first language)
    Here’s something weird as well:
    WHILE the page is stalling to load, I can open the Network Utility and run a continuous ping to the page I’m trying to hit and get a consistent response on EACH ping, even though the page won’t load.
    My cable modem and router BOTH operate on DHCP (IP address and DNS servers are assigned automatically – NOTHING that I know of is entered in statically).
    The only thing I haven’t tried is upgrading the firmware on my router. I’d really like to use this as a LAST resort – HP ruined a DVD writer I had once with a firmware upgrade that went wrong.
    I’d really like to get this fixed. I have friends in a band that are out on the road right now, and with the exception of wasting valuable minutes on my cell phone, this is the only way I have of keeping contact with them. It’s really irritating that I have to use my Windows machine…despite the fact that it’s only a few feet away, I SHOULDN”T HAVE to.
    Anyone want to try and tackle this one?
    Much appreciated,
    --Jbj

    Hi bmb,

    Does this happen only when you try to access MySpace website? Any other website works fine?
    If I DISCONNECT my Linksys router, and plug my Mac DIRECTLY into the back of my cable modem (in other words, disassemble the network, and have the modem shooting stright to the mac), I DON’T have this problem. I can log into MySpace hit any page, just as I can with my Windows machine.
    Smells like DHCP spaghetification...
    I have tried reformatting the machine and reinstalling everything. No change.
    No good, unless you tried anything funny when installing MacOS X, networking issues have are not magically fixed by re-installing the OS. This is a habit coming from the Windows world...
    My cable modem and router BOTH operate on DHCP (IP address and DNS servers are assigned automatically – NOTHING that I know of is entered in statically)
    What about your Mac (and the rest of your PCs)? How do they get their TCP/IP settings (manually or via DHCP)?
    Your issue(s) smell DHCP big time, go to System Preferences-->Network-->Ethernet/AirPort (whatever you use to connect) and click on the TCP/IP tab. Set Configure IPv4 to Manually and post back.
    How are your computers connected to the Linksys box (wired/wirelessly)?

  • Stacks - I don't know if anyone can figure this one out?

    Okay I just got a new MacBook Pro and it had the stack folders on the bottom of the dock (pre-installed) Download and Documents. Here's the problem, I hit and moved the Documents stack out of the area of the dock and it removed the stack. I know this seems simple but check this out. I tried to look up the files that were in the Document Stack and it wasn't on my computer at all. I used Spotlight and it didn't help at all. Here's something else, my VMware Fusion program had an error after I moved the Stack Folder. I had Windows Vista on the Virtual Machine before this happened with the Stack Folder. Now there's no Vista on record or ON MY COMPUTER! I had to re-install all programs..
    I didn't have time machine setup because I didn't think I needed it so soon.
    Can anyone help me find out where my files are in the Stack Folder that was removed from the dock....?
    Thanks!

    *Hi ruhig, Welcome* to Apple's Users Help Users Forums.
    It takes a while to figure out how the Apple Forums are organized.
    You have asked a technical question in an inappropriate place. You are forgiven as a newcomer.
    At the top of this page, or the topics list page one layer back, click on the "discussions" page. It will give you a list of Categories, including "Leopard." Click on it and you will see a set of files for various forums. Click on the most appropriate one and a Forum page similar to the one that got you here will open. As here, at the top left will be a button to "post new topic" or similar.
    In this forum you will find lots of threads re frustration with forum organization so don't feel bad it you didn't get it right the 1st time. Explore a bit and it will come to you.
    There is a wealth of knowledge in the forums. Come often, browse, read threads and learn. 99% of the threads I read I don't post on. On those for maybe 5~10 % I learn something. Now if half vast, see below, could just remember it.

  • Problem with an HTML snippit and PayPal button - cant figure this one out?

    Hello Mac people. We are really good with these things but this one has got us completely foxed.
    We've done a tribute website in iWeb 08 for a friend and his family that were tragically murdered in November 2006 - the address is www.yemi.co.uk
    We are trying to add a PayPal Donate button to the Charity Page.
    Simple right? We went to our PayPal account, set up the button, previewed it (perfect), copied the code, pasted it into an iWeb HTML snippet window, clicked Apply and the PayPal button appeared on the page... Great, thats sorted right? Nope.
    What happens after we publish to our .MAC account is that the PayPal button, when clicked, tries to load the entire PayPal page into the frame / area within the actual PayPal button, which is a tiny, on the iWeb page.
    What we want it to do is just link to PayPal in a new window.
    Tried everything we can think of to solve it including PayPal technical service, .MAC assistance etc... 3 days later we admit defeat!
    Anyone have a clue what we've done wrong? Much appreciated.
    Regards from the UK
    [email protected]

    Hi, just a quick update. We managed to solve this one by adding this to the first line of code that PayPal generates after it has been pasted into the Snippit window: target="newFormWindow" - it forces the page to open in a new window and gets round the problem we were having.
    Hope this helps somebody else out in the future. Thanks.

  • Bet you cant figure this one out...

    Card: Sound Blaster Li've 5.Video: GeForce 6600GT
    Motherboard: K7N2 Delta MSI (tried it on Asus A8... Motherboard aswell)
    Processor: AMD 3200+ XP
    Ram: 52mb ddr 3200
    Problem:
    This Sound Blaster Card freezes with a looping sound on every game I try playing on my PC. Figured it was the Sound Blaster card when I took it out the computer ran fine with the integrated sound card. Put the SB back in and updated every driver, BIOS, video driver, IRQ settings, check the voltage, EVERYTHING... Yet still freezes.
    Bought another Sound Card Audigy 2 value... Froze with no sound, and have to reboot. I am pretty frustrated now that I have switched the power supply, motherboard, processor, RAM just to figure this problem out.
    Note: The computer doesnt restart when I update stuff with the card in the PC, when the card is out of it, the computer restarts without me turning it off and back on again.
    If you know what is causing this... I will love you forever.
    Thanks

    I have the exact same problem. However, the problem didn't pop up until I upgraded Windows XP to service pack 2. I've seen others bring up this issue on a few boards, hopefully someone will shine some light on this issue instead of pointing fingers. Personally, I've done everything I know to do besides downgrading to service pack , but my PC crashing when playing games is not worth reverting back to SP (although I'm sure it is to some). Anyway, I don't know if you have the same OS & service pack, but thought I'd share just the same.

  • Work this one out.. 5c not charging but not usual suspects

    This is my girlfriends daughter's iPhone 5c, was a new handset from Apple end of last year but near the end of previous year warranty so isn't in warranty.  Phone has never been abused and is mint.
    One day it just stopped charging.  Plugged it into another Apple charger, nothing.  Searched online and assumed power socket was faulty.  Took the phone to a repair shop and they said it charged ok on their charger.  Got home, nothing went back to the shop.. They tried their charger and it would very slowly charge.  They tried it on OE chargers, other makes etc and nothing!  They also tried two new charging ports in the phone and it was still the same, they said the battery was not to blame.  It would only charge on this one specific charger which is a cheap dedicated charger.  So bought this cheap charger and the phone would charge after a very long time and the battery drains in a couple of hours to nothing.  Fast forward to last night when she broke this dedicated charger (keeps breaking where she pulls the lead not the plug!)
    This charger that will work is 0.1amp.  isn't that low?
    now now last week I ordered a new battery to try that, just fitted it and nothing!  Still the same.
    The charger it works in must be the key here. I looked inside the cable and it's just two wires so I'm wondering if it's something to do with the data part of the lightning cable effecting it charging some how.
    the amount of cables she has gone through is amazing, every one is kinked near the lighting connector and looks like she stands the phone on the cable when charging and also pulls it out by the cable.  Obviously she doesn't do any of that as you can imagine a teenage girl wouldn't!
    ofcourse now I can't even charge it on this other charger because she's broken that too!
    I'm now wondering with the fact it only charged with this two wire charger whether a previous broken cable has shoffer something in the phone and caused damage that way?  It's something to do with the difference between a dated cable and just this dedicated charging cable showing up the issue.  If this phone shop hadn't had the dedicated charger it'd never started charging before.
    The shop have washed their hands of it and said they have never known an issue like it!

    You have tried a new cable? It's unclear how many you have that are damaged but a damaged cable can cause shorting which will prevent charging. If the cable is used for an extended period it could damage a charger or phone.
    If you can get it working you may want to coat the lead in sugru.
    https://sugru.com/about
    It could give it extra support around the lightning connector, or you could create a larger connector to allow her to remove it without tugging on the wire - a sure way to destroy Apple cables.
    I think you should probably take it to Apple, they will be able to tell you what is failing or charge you for a replacement which may be a better option than assuming what parts have failed. If you can't get it working with 'known good' leads & chargers all you can do is assume the phone is faulty (possibly the battery or port is damaged). You can purchase replacement parts & try fitting them yourself but it is often better to get it exchanged with one from Apple.

  • HT201269 itunes cannot see my iphone backup.  I have a backup of the backup on an external HD, but even tech support cannot figure this one out.  I copy and paste backups into the correct folder but itunes still does not see it.  All I need are my contact

    Sorry for short novel I am writing.  I just wanted to cover as much backround as possible.
    So, here it goes.  I backed up my iphone 4 after renting a movie.  The movie only played the starting credits before I was called on for daddy duty.  A few days later the movie would not play, so I restored my phone from my backup.  The movie would still would not play so itunes support refunded my purchase and ended my viewing privileges for that rental after verifying that I had not viewed the movie.  I then had a problem with my contacts showing up twice in the contacts list after the restore.  So I attempted another restore.  All was well at this point.  I then started having trouble with my pc and decided to copy the internal drive to an external source.  A week later I had a system failure and did a factory restore on my computer.  I re-installed itunes and tried to copy and paste the old backup into the new itunes.  Now itunes just flat out does not see the backup file (I failed to mention that I did a factory reset on the iphone after the last backup, hopping to start fresh).  Tech support had me uninstall and re-install itunes and then copy and paste the old backup into the newly installed itunes with no luck.  The files are all there, but itunes just doesn't see them (itunes says the device has not been backed up to the cloud or to the local machine).  We then tried backing up the factory restored iphone and replacing that restore file with one of my old backups on the external drive.  Ok, this is where it gets weird.  We replaced the guts of the folder but left the folder itself so itunes would continue to recognize the new backup folder with the old files.  Whoohoo, itunes now see's a backup folder full of old files, or so we thought.  The new files were deleted using shift delete so they would be gone for good and not mix with any files or folders.  When I restore my phone, it restores the files that were deleted from the restore file (pause here for a moment and imagine the stupid look on the face of tech support and I while we silently wonder how files that were permanently deleted were restored).  This left tech support and I both scratching our heads.  My service issue was escalated to the next level.  I waited for the phone call the next day that was scheduled at 10am to my wife's phone, but the call never came through.  As usual, apple disappoints again.  I just bought an iphone 5s and still have the iphone 4, and am looking for a solution to retrieve my contacts and restore to the 4 or 5s.  I am guessing that files in other folders must be associated with the iphone backup in order for itunes to retrieve the files.  Any ideas or support in retrieving my contacts would be greatly appreciated.

    It is unusual for the calendar to sync and not the contacts in Outlook. I've worked with Outlook for years. You didn't answer what computer OS you are using. If it is Windows, have you tried to reset the sync history in iTunes? Do that by opening iTunes, go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and click on reset sync history. If you have done this and it doesn't help, then we can try and run scanpst.exe on your Outlook file and see if there are any errors. Search your computer for that file, however it normally resides in one of the Microsoft Office folders in the folder Program files. After that, you can see if it will sync.

  • Cant figure this one out!

    I all of a sudden cannot see the flash banner on my web page
    viewing in Firefox. I can see it fine in IE7, I uninstalled Flash
    Player 9, reinstalled numerous times. I have also check it out on
    another computer using Firefox and it worked like a charm, mine is
    saying "Movie not loaded..." I cannot figure out whats going on.
    When i try and install the new one it dosnt really do much but when
    i go to Adobes page it says that I have it installed. PLEASE
    SOMEONE HELP!

    It isn't too clear right upfront on Apple's website, but when you select one of the EA games from the online store it lists system requirements. It states that the integrated graphics cards are not supported, so you will probably run into problems trying to install it on your MacBook.
    I hope I was able to help.

  • Check this book out: "Against Intellectual Monopoly"

    I just wanted to share with everyone a really cool book I came across a year or so back.  I'm not sure if this has been discussed in the Arch forums yet but, basically, Boldrin and Levine argue that copyright laws are not necessary for innovation and often do more harm than good.  In particular, they use the OSS and Linux community as an example of successful collaborative development and innovation in the absence of restrictive patents.  Regardless of your own views of intellectual property rights in general, I found this to be very relevant to our community so I wanted to share it.
    Oh yeah, and the full text is available free online and in pdf format
    http://levine.sscnet.ucla.edu/general/i … tfinal.htm
    And if you'd like to support Boldrin and Levine, a print copy is also available
    http://www.amazon.com/Against-Intellect … 0521879280
    Note: I hope this doesn't come across as a shameless plug.  I'm not affiliated with the authors in anyway.
    Edit: updated link to latest version of the book

    I enjoy studying these issues and do so quite a bit. I just read most of the first chapter of that book and it reminded me: This topic is horribly confusing to me. The more I study it, the more I learn about things that I don't know. And, as Richard Stallman points out, the term "intellectual property" just makes the situation more confusing by lumping things together that are fundamentally different. I feel that this author did a good job at distinguishing and explaining the differences between patents, copyright, and trademarks.
    As an example of how confusing this topic can be, your quote:
    In particular, they use the OSS and Linux community as an example of successful collaborative development and innovation in the absence of copyright.
    confused me because Linux is very much copyrighted, mostly by the GPL. Even so, I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying I'm confused.
    I do know that I'm completely against software patents. Let people copyright the code they write, but for goodness sake, the idea of patenting an idea in software sounds so ridiculous to me. Code is like writing a novel using math. You don't patent math and you don't patent a novel. (I'm embarassed to admit that I accidentally got a software patent, and I realize now just how silly it is)
    I guess by the absence of copyright I mean't more along the lines of the absence of an Apple or Microsoft copyright, or any proprietary or closed source software.  Chapter 2 p17-24 specifically addresses software:
    Free software is not only open source, but is released under a license such as the GNU General Public License (GPL) which allows modifications and distribution only when the source code to those modifications is made available under the same license. It should be understood here that the word “free” here means (according to the motto) “free as in freedom, not free as in beer.” Although free software is often distributed without charge, it is the freedom of the user to make use of the software that distinguishes free software, not the price at which it is sold. The free software license serves as a commitment for those who wish that their contribution will also be freely available, and as a guarantee to users that they will have access to the source code in the future, if they so wish.
    Perhaps I'm misusing the word copyright and instead mean software that is "free as in freedom"
