Correct database management

When I learned about Lightroom, I started thinking how to integrate it in my current workflow.
I just can not think clear enough to find the solution.
Maybe you are willing to try and help me out?
Let me explain how I am working now.
On my mirrored (safety!) harddrive there is one main folder, "photo archive".
In that folder are two subfolders, "not backed up" and "backed up".
All shootings (like say "France 2007") first arrive as a subfolder within the folder "not backed up".
When I have the time, I copy -not backed up folders- to a device called LTO, a very good tape streamer. It is a slow proces, but trust me, besides external online services, there is nothing better. (For transportation purposes and every day use, I burn every shooting to DVD also.)
When my harddrive gets filed up, I delete the "backed up" shootings, since I have them on tape and on DVD.
1. Should I create one big mega-library in Lightroom, or should I create one per shooting?
2. When can I add a shooting to Lightroom, when its in the folder "backed up" or can I add them allready when they are in "not backed up"?
3. What happens to my library when stuff is moved or deleted? Does it pose a thread to the Lightroom working method?
4. My feeling is, I should create a catalog per shoot, when I'm done printing and making websites, write the LR catalog and actual photos to backup medium and delete stuff from the harddrive. Do I have everything then, or am I missing something/making a mistake?
As you may have guessed, my mind is too murky to solve this problem.
If you can help, please do.

You can write a small utility in VB which will change the database server name for all the Crystal Reports.
Here is the algorithm:
Loop
Open the report
Change the Database credentials using either .NET/RDC SDK.
Save the Report
Exit Loop
I'm sure the code will not exceed more that 30-50 line.
You can find the samples on SDN which explain how to use these SDKs.

Using MaxDB database manager via SAP::DBTech::dbm Perl module

Hi,
we would like to use the SAP::DBTech::dbm module to access the MaxDB database manager with perl.
The MaxDB 7.7 doc states that the module is a component of the MaxDb software but I cannot find the perl includes.
Does anybody know how to install or configure the module?
In the MaxDB Installation I found in the file /sapdb/<SID>/db/doc/FirstSteps/Perl/HowToPerl.html that one has just to
include the c:\programme\sdb\maxdb1/misc folder to $PERL5LIB. The folder exits but just contains the files to create and drop the demo database.
Regards
Thomas

Hello Maike,
as far as I understand your question, you'd like to automate the installation for your end-users.
In the end it's a local installation where one user works with his/her Database Studio installation - correct?
If it would be possible to add the end users to the user group 'SDB Operators' they should be able to create the user management database and Database Studio should work.
Best regards,
Melanie

After upgrading to APEX 4.1 the database management GUI has been removed

I've succesfully upgrated to APEX 4.1 on my database 10gXE
The only problem is that now the database management GUI (Usage Monitor section) has been removed from APEX and I'd like to keep on dealing with DBA activities as before. How is it possibile? Now can I handle DBA activities only by using SQL*Plus and SQL Developer?
Thanks!

Hello Mark,
unfortunately, that management GUI is an XE specific application build into the APEX version that shipped with XE. So basically, what you experience is correct: After an APEX upgrade, you can't use it anymore, because the "generic" APEX versions are not branded for XE.
There is a theoretic possibility of using the command line exporter to export that management application from the old APEX instance before upgrading (or using a different XE instance that still has it) and import it to the upgraded APEX instance. But I would not recommend to do that, as APEX itself has changed a lot from the 2.2-branch that XE 10.2 shipped with to the 4.1 you use now. This can cause severe issues when using that application in 4.1, especially concerning the APEX management part of that application.
Now can I handle DBA activities only by using SQL*Plus and SQL Developer?I'd recommend that. And I really think SQL Developer has become very handy for that purpose compared with the version that was out when XE 10.2 was released...

Sneak Preview ABAP - Password for Database Manager Operator Control

Hello All , My first installation 'SAP NetWeaver 2004s Sneak Preview ABAP' was aborted where I did supply the password for Database Manager Operator Account : Control . When I am trying to reinstall , the installation fails and it comes back with a message
' The check of the control user password failed . Check logfile XCMDOUT.LOG '.
I think I am supplying the correct password which I entered originally .
Thanks
Rajesh Kapoor

hi there,
the default password for control is control.
According to about threethousandfivehundredandtwelve postings in here your problem might arise due to the usage of special characters in the password, e.g. a +(plus).
What do the last few lines of your XCMDOUT.LOG read?
regards,
anton

Database Manager for Address Book

Help me! I seem to need to reconstruct my Address Book every time I change my PDA. the card formats are never quite the same....
To date, I have been exporting to text files, cleaning the text tile with MS Word, opening the text file in Excel - doing my clean up and reorganization in Excel - saving as a text file, then importing the text file back into Address Book.
Eh - and every time I do this, SOMEthing get screwed up. This time, I lost all the fax numbers!
Question: Is there a database manager that will open the AddressBook.Data file in native format, allow me to make global changes or individual edits and resave the native format - without needing to do all of the exporting and importing and data corruption?
Thanks for any feedback or comment!

maybe this solves your problem.
What PDA are you using?

CAN I USE THE ONLINE WORKSPACE FOR MY COMPAY'S DATABASE MANAGEMENT?

Hi Forum,
I am the Database Management System Administrator for the company I am working with. The company has branches in other regions of the country. In order to control and centralize its operational information management I have realized the need for the database to have internet link to help achieve the purpose. I have tried to connect my apex 11g to the internet but I have not succeeded. I am thinking of an alternative of using the Oracle Online Worskspace. Would Oracle allow me to use it? I shall also be glad if someone can still help me to configure my apex database to be accessed on the internet that can be used to manage large geographical operations.
May God bless you and OTN forum

Is oracle OODBMS (Object Oriented database management system)?

I believe the precise answer is that Oracle is ORDBMS (Object-Relational DBMS).For a brief period in time Oracle Corporation offered a product called Object Oriented Oracle (OOO).
It was such a wonderous product that it was buried in the trash can of history when it did neither task very well.

DATABASE MANAGER ERROR "-4 database instance not found"

Hi
I have installed NNW 2004 ABAP Trial Version and everything seems to be good. SAP GUI is installed and MAX DB too.
Except, I am unable to "add a database instance" in the Database Manager. The instructions tell me to leave the entries as default (database server: <local> and port: <default>) but then when I click the ADD button up pops the message:
-4 database instance not found
I have a 32 bit Intel Atom processor Netbook running Windows 7 with two drives C: and D:. I have tried disabling my antivir with no avail.
I think the problem could be either:
A) My installation is on the D drive but the database might be searching for something on the C drive????
B) There are some "sap" type entries (like 200 of them) in my system32/drivers/etc/services file. One in particular is "sapdp00 3200/tcp" and I know the installation says make sure there are no "3200 ports". I would like to change this and save the file but up pops a message saying "access is denied" even though I have admin rights.
Any help would be appreciated
Josh

Please, any hints or directions would help immensely as I am not a technical expert
Thanks in advance

Comparisons between database management system

Hello everybody
i am new on this forum. I will like to know advantages and inconvenients of Oracle compared to SQL Server, MySQL, and other database management systems.
Thank you for your precious help. I need that comparative studies urgently.
Thanx

Your question is way too broad to be answered in a forum post-- it would take hundreds of pages to do the topic justice.
It's a bit like asking what the advantages & disadvantages are of an Indy car in comparison to a dump truck, a family sedan, an F1 racer, and other automobiles. You have to provide a lot of guidance as to which task or tasks you're seeking to accomplish and what sort of parameters you're working within.

Database management systems trends

Hello,
Is there any official document which tries to predict the database management system trends? Like cloud computing? Distributed database systems?
Thank you.

Is there any official document which tries to predict the database management system trends? Like cloud computing? Distributed database systems?I doubt that there is any official document. Every analyst may see it differently.
For example, my vision is -
DBMSes move in various aspects simultaneously, including
cloud computing and distributed database systems.
Other aspects are:
- standartisation of SQL language,
- Very Large DB
- using specific hardware and DB architecture for performance,
- embedded DBs,
- in memory DBs,
- 100% online administration and management transparent to users,
- automatic "self" administration and management
- very smart optimizers
- new data types (XML)
- structure-less DBMS
- DBMS that organizes data and detects data relationships automatically

Database Management Copy Data - Replace Option

Can anyone provide info on how this works? we are using 9.2.1
When using database management to copy data, when using the replace option, even if we only pick a few accounts to copy, it is erasing all data in the Target scenario. Does the replace option clear all data by default before copying in the selected data?
we tried to use the Merge option but apparently that doesn't always work for some reason-could be user error. not sure.
Thanks
Wags

Hey Wags- this is expected functionality of the Replace method. It clears all custom/account data for the load entity/year/period combo prior to do the load. For example, if there is P&L data in entity A in Jan 2010 and you load $500 to it in a Sales account, all the rest of the P&L data will be cleared and you'll just have $500 in the Sales account.
Here's stuff from the guide:
Several options are available for loading data into an application. You can merge, replace, or
accumulate the data into the application. You select one of these options for each load process.
Note:
You cannot load calculated data into an application.
Merge
Select this option to overwrite the data in the application with the data from the file.
For each unique point of view that exists in the data file and in the application, the value in the
data file overwrites the data in the application.
Note:
If you have multiple values in the file for the same point of view, the system loads only the value
for the last entry.
If you select the Accumulate Within File option in conjunction with the Merge option, the system
adds all values for the same point of view in the data file, and overwrites the data in the application
with the total.
For each unique point of view that is in the data file but does not have a value in the application,
the value from the data file is loaded into the application.
Replace
For each unique combination of scenario, year, period, entity, and value in the data file, the
system first clears all corresponding values from the application, then loads the value from the
data file.
Note:
If you have multiple values in the file for the same unique combination of dimensions, the system
loads only the value for the last entry.
If you select the Accumulate Within File option in conjunction with the Replace option, the
system clears the value from the application, adds all values for the same point of view in the
data file, and loads the total.
You can achieve the same result as using the Replace option with the Accumulate Within File
option by using the Database Management module. You can organize the data in the file into
groups based on Scenario, Year, Entity, Value, and Period.
Use the Clear Data tab in the Database Management module to clear each unique combination
of these dimensions, selecting all accounts including system accounts. Enter the data manually
in a data grid, or load or copy the data into the application using the Merge or Accumulate load
options. When you perform the Clear operation for a period in a subcube, data, cell text, and
line item detail are cleared, but cell attachments are not cleared.
Note:
You may need to create several small files to load a data file using the Replace mode, especially
if the data is very large or if the file contains ownership data. An error message is displayed if the
file is too large when you try to load it.
Replace by Security
This option enables you to perform a data load in Replace mode even if you do not have access
to all accounts. When you perform the Clear operation for a period in a subcube, only the cells
to which you have access are cleared. Data, cell text, and line item detail are cleared, but cell
attachments are not cleared.
Accumulate
For each unique point of view that exists in the data file and in the application, the value from
the load file is added to the value in the application.
Note:
Data for system accounts is not accumulated.
Accumulate Within File
You can use the Accumulate Within File option in conjunction with the Merge and Replace
options. This option accumulates the data in the file first and loads the totals into the application
based on the load option selected.
File Contains Ownership Data
If the file contains ownership data, you must indicate this by selecting File Contains Ownership
Data. If you do not select this option and the data file contains ownership or shares information,
an error occurs when you load the file.

Database Management Productivity Application

Apple supplies quite a few productivity applications for both OsX and iOS such as pages, keynote and numbers. However, they are missing a database management application such as Microsoft Access. I would like to create and maintain databases on the iPhone of items I am collecting in order to keep track what I have and in order to store information about the items I own. None of the current OsX or iOs productivity apps would allow me to do that.

There are a number of database applications available, but none are part of the iWorks family. Teh need to use them across iOS and OS X may limited the choices a little bit, but a search of the App Store and the MAC App store should show you a few.
