Citadel 5 Database: Asymmetry in Read and Write; Database Subfolders

Hi,
I just started using DSC module of LabVIEW and related architecture such as Citedal Database for several days. This might be a trivial issue with easy fix but I could not find documention about this.
When wrting a trace in the databas, a "subfolder" for the PC I am using is automatically generated. It seems that I have no access to the name of the subfolder for the trace I want to write. When reading, it seems I do not have access to the "process" or the "subfolder".
In the attached screenshot: I would like to write an entry to the database that I copied from other PC (the red line), but it is the black line being established. Similar situation happens for trace reading. When I tried to read the green database, it is the blue being read, except I manually delete the blue database.

Greetings pai193387
I reproduced your issue on my end. Because of the way Citadel organizes data I could not find a way to just keep working on the process that was started in a different computer. So my suggestion is to read all the data from the process and rewrite it on a new trace and then keep working on the new trace.
Alternatively, it is better to keep small traces separate; in case there is a corruption you don’t lose too many data at a time.
Let us know if you have additional questions or if you find a better solution.

Using the Borland Database Engine to read AND write SHARED Paradox Database Tables

I need to read and write Paradox database tables with a C# AT THE SAME TIME AS people using the Paradox tables with legacy Paradox programs interactively.
I think the only way to do that reliably without corrupting the tables is to use the BDE Borland Database Engine.
Does anyone know how to do that? I found this c++ program... But I don't know how to integrate this into c#
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/database/bdedatabase.aspx
Is there another way to do this? Again, most important, I don't want to corrupt the paradox database.
I can read the paradox records all day long, that is no problem, it is updating at the same time as the legacy program users..
I also know that the whole thing needs to be updated, but that can not be done overnight.
Thanks in advance
Dave

Being pretty new to programming, I am trying just to read info from Paradox tables with C#. Info is actively being updated from another program at the same time. The program I am trying to write only needs to read data. The other program does use the BDE,
so it is already present running on the computer.
I've been looking at code but just haven't found quite the right combination.
Thanks. Any help is greatly appreciated.

When using the Database Connectivity Toolset, reads and writes with long binary fields are incompatible.

I am trying to write LabVIEW Variants to long binary fields in a .mdb file using the Database Connectivity Toolset. I get errors when trying to convert the field back to a variant after reading it back from the database.
I next tried flattening the variant before writing it and ultimately wound up doing the following experiments:
1) If I use DB Tools Insert Data to write an ordinary string and read it back using a DB Tools Select Data, the string is converted from ASCII to Unicode.
2) If I use DB Tools Create Parameterized Query to do an INSERT INTO or an UPDATE operation, specifying that the data is BINARY, then read it back using a DB Tools Select Data,
the length of the string is prepended to the string itself as a big-endian four-byte integer.
I can't think of any way to do a parameterized read, although the mechanism exists to return data via parameters.
Presuming that this same problem affects Variants when they are written to the database and read back, I could see why I get an error. At least with flattened strings I have the option of discarding the length bytes from the beginning of the string.
Am I missing something here?

David,
You've missed the point. When a data item is flattened to a string, the first four bytes of the string are expected to be the total length of the string in big-endian binary format. What is happening here is that preceding this four-byte length code is another copy of the same four bytes. If an ordinary string, "abcdefg" is used in place of the flattened data item, it will come back as <00><00><00><07>abcdefg. Here I've used to represent a byte in hexadecimal notation. This problem has nothing to do with flattening and unflattening data items. It has only to do with the data channel consisting of writing to and reading from the database.
I am attaching three files that you can use to demonstrate the problem. The VI file c
ontains an explanation of the problem and instructions for installing and operating the demonstration.

Oracle database read and write?

I want to see on the basis of the Oracle database table to read and write rates.How can I see

A table can exists across multiple tablespaces. A tablespace can consists of several data files. Data files can be across multiple ASM diskgroups. An ASM diskgroup can consists of multiple LUNs. A LUN can comprise of several physical disks on the storage system.
So what EXACTLY is the problem?
What will a magic metric of "20 writes/25 reads" on the EMP table tell you? What would this mean and how would these numbers be applied to make the system better?
In other words - you have come up with a solution that needs write/read rate on a table. You have not told us what problem this solution of yours will address. We need to know the problem - as a solution is only ever as good as the accuracy and detail of the problem description.

Best Practice to Atomic Read and Write a Field In Database

I am from Java Desktop Application background. May I know what is the best practice in J2EE, to atomic read and write a field in database. Currently, here is what I did
// In Servlet.
synchronized(private_static_final_object)
    int counter = read_counter_from_database();
    counter++;
    write_counter_back_to_database(counter);
}However, I suspect the above method will work all the time.
As my observation is that, if I have several web request at the same time, I am executing code within single instance of servlet, using different thread. The above method shall work, as different thread web request, are all referring to same "private_static_final_object"
However, my guess is "single instance of servlet" is not guarantee. As after some time span, the previous instance of servlet may destroy, with another new instance of servlet being created.
I also came across [http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/java/datastore/transactions.html|http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/java/datastore/transactions.html] in JDO. I am not sure whether they are going to solve the problem.
// In Servlet.
Transaction tx = pm.currentTransaction();
tx.begin();
    int counter = read_counter_from_database(); // Line 1
    counter++;                                                  // Line 2
    write_counter_back_to_database(counter);    // Line 3
tx.commit();Is the code guarantee only when Thread A finish execute Line 1 till Line 3 atomically, only Thread B can continue to execute Line 1 till Line 3 atomically?
As I do not wish the following situation happen.
(1) Thread A read counter from Database as 0
(2) Thread A increment counter to 1
(3) Thread B read counter from Database as 0
(4) Thread A write counter as 1 to database
(5) Thread B increment counter to 1
(6) Thread B write counter as 1 to database
What I wish is
(1) Thread A read counter from Database as 0
(2) Thread A increment counter to 1
(4) Thread A write counter as 1 to database
(3) Thread B read counter from Database as 1
(5) Thread B increment counter to 2
(6) Thread B write counter as 2 to database
Thanks you.

This is my understanding of the issue (you should research it further on you own to get a better understanding):
I suggest you use local variables (ie, defined within a function), and keep away from static variables. Those local variables are thread safe. If you call functions within functions, its still thread safe. If you read or write to one record in a database using sql, its thread safe (you dont need a transaction). If you read/write to multiple tables and/or records, you probably need a transaction. Servlets are thread safe. You usually dont need the 'synchronized' word anywhere unless you have a function updating/reading a static variable and therefore want to ensure only one user is accessing the static varible at a time. Also do so if you are writing to some resource (such as a file, a variable in applicaton scope, session scope, or resource that everyone uses such as email server). You dont want more than one person at a time to write to it). Note the database is one of of those resources that is handled by transactions rather than the the synchronized keyword (the synchronized keyword is applied to your application only (not other applications that someone is running), whereas the transaction ensures all applications are locked out while you update those records in the database).
By the way, if you have a static variable, you should have one and only one function (synchronized) that updates it that everyone uses. If you have more than one synchronized function, that updates it, its probably not thread safe.
An example of a static variable you would use is a Datasource object (to obtain your database connections). You only need one connection pool in your application and you access it via the datasource variable.
If you're unsure your code is thread safe, you can create two seperate threads that call the same block of functions repeatedly to ensure it works as expected.

JSP read and write data in MS-SQL database

I am new to JSP. I need to write JSP page to read and write data in MS-SQL Database. I wonder if it is different from other database. I couldn't find useful pointers in the web. Please advise. Thanks!!

Sure, SQL Server is different from Oracle is different from MySQL is different from...
But all of them can be accessed using JDBC:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/jdbc/
Maybe you should learn about that for starters.
You can use SQL tags from JSTL in your JSPs. I'd recommend JSTL highly. No scriptlet code that way. - MOD

How to share files in a network and allow read-and-write to a specific computer only?

I have several computers in my network, and I want to share a folder and allow read-and-write from computer A to Computer B only, and omit computer C. How do I do that? Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion. I like this approach as Java is more familiar to me than other languages.
Our DBA is out of touch today, so I could not grant the javauserpriv to my database user. I tried to run the script anyway in the chance that my user had the privs, and it seemed to have hung. I am now combing Oracle's site for more documentation so I can write some tests to see if I can get a basic Java object working. Under what heading would I find this?

We don't have many samples left for Windows Phone 7 + Azure, the closest one to what you want to do is probably:
Using Local Storage with OData on Windows Phone To Reduce Network Bandwidth
this sample uses the local database feature: 'LINQ to SQL', available to Windows Phone 7.1 and 8.0 Silverlight applications, instead of simple file storage but even if you choose to stick with simple file storage I believe you should be able to adapt the
networking related portions of the sample to your particular application.

ITunes Library on an Airport Disk? Read and write from multiple Macs?

OK, I've scoured the forums for an answer to this, but haven't found anything definitive. Apologies if I've missed the answer, but here's what I want to know:
I have an iMac as a primary computer, plus a Mac Mini hooked up to my entertainment system, and my girlfriend's powerbook in the house too. There seem to be two main iTunes options: either constantly try to keep all three iTunes libraries synchronised by running around importing files, etc.; or just keep one library, and share it over the network.
Right now, I am keeping my iTunes library on my iMac and sharing it with the Mac Mini and the powerbook. If anyone wants to add music (or other content) to the library, it has to be through the iMac. Obviously the iMac has to be on for any other computer to access the shared library.
I want to try to make things simpler by having a single "network" iTunes library that all computers to be able to share (read AND write). I envisage having this "iTunes Server" on an external HD connected to my Airport Extreme as an Airport Disk. If I move the entire contents of ~/music/iTunes (including artwork, library files, etc) to this central location, will the three Macs be able to deal with this, ie can multiple computers share an iTunes library database on an airdisk? Will I be able to stream content from this library to all three computers? Will I be able to import new music into the library from any one of the three computers?

I am having a very similar problem. I have all of my music saved on a large external disk connected to my airport. I would like to be able to just play what i want from this disk, but i don't like having to download every track i want to listen to. I still want to be able to bring my laptop with me and have some music so i don't want to make this external disk my library folder. Is there a way to play it on my computer similar to a shared library on another computer? Am i asking to much out of apple?

How to read and write Unicode text with MS Access?

Hi all, I'm new to Java, so please forgive me if my question is too ... ^_^
I'm writing a small program that read and write data with MS Access. However, when I insert Unicode text into the database, it has wrong encoding like this "h?y l? n?m".
Please tell me how to fix this.
Thanks in advance!

The following forum thread might be enlightening:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=573855&messageID=2870785
I myself do not use MS Access, but a PreparedStatement is in general the best option.
You can set parameters in the SQL which then get converted and even protected against SQL injection hacking.

View to find Physical read and Write per hour

HI,
My oracle database is running with 11.2.0.3 and we are analysing the database. we would like to understand what the average load time per hour is for a database under normal circumstances e.g. 5 TB /Hr ?
What I want to know is, Is it possible to find the amount physical reads and writes happened per hour basis on database. Is there any view to find this ?
Thanks,
Kesav.

Help ,ImageIO exception to read and write

Hi,
I'm dynamically creating image files through screens utility of java(prog name:- Test_ScreenShot.java) and saving
them in memory sequentially(pic0.jpg,pic1.jpg....etc).Simultaneously I'm accessing the saved files from another
independent application(Prog name:- Test_Main.java) through piping(executing the application like this "Java
Test_Screens|Java Test_Main").The application is in infinite loop.I'm using Version JDK 1.5
I use java Image to read and write image:-
My application was running well for days.But now I'm getting sudden exceptions.
I got an exception while trying to save an dynamically generated image file in the local memory using the Image

2)"Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
3)Exception in thread "main" com.sun.image.codec.jpeg.ImageFormatException: Not a JPEG file: starts with 0xff 0xd9
Here is the code snippent I wrote:
/* Robot robot = new Robot();
BufferedImage image = robot.createScreenCapture(screenRect);
// save captured image to jpg file

Hello,
I am writng to ask a doubt I have been encountered. I have an array of Image URL's and I am downloading the images using thses URL for each index. The example for an image URL will be as follows:
http://www.firstmonday.org/issues/issue6_10/wiggins/google-3oct2001.gifIf the URL is abroken link, I am getting the exception. But if the URL is somewhat hanging (which means when u open that URL in IE or Mozilla, the statuc bar for downloading the image will be hanging).
So i want to set a timer for every link while downloading. may be 10min. My idea is if in that 10min, if code does not completes downloading the images, then ignore that link and proceed furthur.
Can u please tell me how to write this.. Please tell me any other idea to tackle this problem.
Thank you,
Chaitanya

I am novice so I do some tests to send messages with the example : CAN trasmit periodic, and to receive messages with the Channel Monitor, so I want to use this two VIs in my program but there is an error because I can't use the two examples at the same time...
How can I proceed to use this two example in my program? There is an other solution to read and write in the same time (I use a database .dbc)?
Bye

I'm sorry for my mistake but CAN transmit periodic exist in two version, one for FPGA and other for PC card. I didn't see the second one.
You can monitor your CAN bus with NI-CAN BusMonitor: How Can I Monitor the NI-CAN Bus?
