DB Links and Synonyms - Help please

Hi,
I have two databases, say 'db1' and 'db2'
In 'db1' database,
I have created one user, 'usr1' and who has access to all tables in a schema 'sch'
In 'db2' database, (following all actions are in 'db2' database)
I have created public database link, 'dblink.world' connect to usr1 identified by password using db1.
I have also created one public synonym, db1_tab1 for [email protected];
when I query like, select * from db1_tab, I am getting output.
But in Toad, if I select 'db1_tab1' in 'Synonyms' tab, I am getting following error. I don't have any LONG columns in the table.
ORA-00997: illegal use of LONG datatype
I am working on Oracle release 9.2.
Please help me to resolve this error.
Thanks.

If TOAD isn't working you may have to get another tool or patch the version of TOAD :(
Oracle SQL Developer offers much the same funcitonality and is free; you can download it from OTN.

  • After effects and photoshop ,,,help please

    hi all
    can anybody help please.
    ive been making a short film with my son and putting some basic effects in, just for a laugh.
    i noticed an effect on ADOBE TV that was done by Gareth Edwards in his movie MONSTERS which i thought would be good to try out in my film but i carnt get it right,,
    here is the link to that effect...            http://tv.adobe.com/watch/customer-stories-video-film-and-audio/monsters/
    its the effect where he changes the menu board in a cafe to one of his infected area signs, he allso changes a few other signs.
    in the video he say that he exports a still frame from after effects into photoshop and puts on his image {with a few tweaks her and there}, when hes got it ok in photoshop ,it some how updates in after effects??
    can any please help ,thank you

    It's a simplified explanation of the process.  He left out explanations of motion tracking and perspective matching that were most certainly required for the shot being discussed.
    If you are doing the same process to a static, locked off shot, with no foreground objects passing in front of your sign, it would be very possible to create a single frame in Photoshop and just layer it over your scene in AE.  But once the camera moves, you will need to understand Motion Tracking.  If objects pass in front of the replaced component, you will need to understand Masking.

  • JSP and Servlet - help please

    Hello,
    I am making this feedback for fun and a bit of learning too. I have an INDEX.JSP page, where the user selects the very first option. Depending upon the selected option he is moved another page PRODUCTFEEDBACK.JSP (so far I have completed this). Here as usual there are many fields to be filled in. As a spams protection i have done this;
    I have a AdditionClass, which is a seperate class where two number are generated at random. This numbers are called by PRODUCTFEEDBACK.JSP. The user is then asked to perform the addition. The completed form is then sent to ProductFeedback servlet.
    When I compile my PRODUCTFEEDBACK.JSP I get this error. Can you please tell whats wrong?

  • Mail and password: Help please!!!

    I have changed my password and on my iPhone and iPad there is no problem. However, on my iMac, 10.8.2 every time I put the computer to sleep and then wake it up again Mail tells me to verify my password. I press OK but it refuses to accept and I am forced to go to System Preferences, then mail where I press OK for the same password and the whole thing then works.
    In Yahoo it works perfectly!
    What is happening in Mail. I have deleted the account in preferences and set it up again but all to no avail.
    Help please!!!

    You might try the following steps:
    Restart the device by holding down the on/off button until the power down slider appears.
    Try entering your password in another location (i.e. when you are using a different wifi network)
    Reset all settings (settings > general > reset), this resets some of your settings to factory default. It’s not a complete removal of settings. It removes all of your preferences for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do No Disturb, Notifications, General, Sounds, Brightness & Wallpaper and Privacy. It does not remove any of your data.
    Try signing out of iCloud and back in (only if find my phone is disabled)
    If this doesn’t help your best option may be to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.

  • Spry gallery - image link to url and autostart help please

    Can anyone help with:
    1) autostart the gallery
    2) click on full size image to go to a url
    Both questions are for image gallery example
    I would like the gallery to autostart but cannot get it to
    work with onload.
    Also, to click an image an goto a url -I know the url should
    be in the photos.xml files but I could really use details on how to
    add to the html file, or would it be better handled with a
    gallery.js function?

    The reason why it might not work on load is because you need
    to wait until the thumbnail region has been generated.
    Look for this line in gallery.js:
    setTimeout(function() { ShowCurrentImage(); }, 100);
    and change it to:
    setTimeout(function() { ShowCurrentImage(); StartSlideShow();
    }, 100);
    We really shouldn't need to use timers anymore to do all of
    this, but I didn't get a chance to update the gallery demo to use
    some of the new things we added for preview release 1.1. It will be
    cleaned up in the next release.
    As for going to a URL, if you're going to wrap the main image
    with a link, you'll have to modify SetMainImage() in gallery.js to
    account for the change in parent hierarchy.
    You'll probably have to add some code in SetMainImage() to
    update the href of the link to point to the specific url for that
    image.

  • Routes, gateways, and networks -- Help Please

    Hi Linux gurus:
    I have a problem that I know you will help me resolve...
    I have two network cards in my Linux box.
    1. public network:
    10/100
    192.168.1.102
    default gw: 192.168.1.1
    netmask: 255.255.255.0
    I want this one routed to my router for internet/public use
    2. private network 1000mpbs
    192.168.2.181
    default gw: none
    netmask: 255.255.255.0
    I don't want this one routed at all. It is used for backups, moving files, etc and is called by individual servers using /etc/hosts.
    Now problem is that I can't get out and/or in to the box. It appears as though the default gateway on this system is 192.168.2.254. I set up the network via the gui and it appeared to be working, but alas it is not. It looks like things are only talking via the 192.168.2.X network, and that is not what I want...and from the outside world, nothing at all is talking to it.
    Below is my ifconfig -a and my netstat -rn
    Please help!

    1. How do I keep this from reverting again? (I could put this in my own script, but would rather not hack it, but do it right)
    2. Are my routing tables below correct now (it works I understand, but want to ensure it is done correctly).
    3. What is this route for (in the below table) and is it needed?
    169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth2
    4. Since i'm relying on /etc/hosts files for the systems on the 192.168.2.X interface should there even be a route for this subnet?

  • J6480 wireless and network help please!

    I have an officejet J6480 that has an error in printing system when printing wireless.  Everything is configured correctly and my printer reads the router and connects.  If this problem cannot be fixed, can i use an ethernet connection directly from printer to router and get it to work.  I tried this but also got a failure to print message.  Please help asap! Thank you

    hello,
    first, cancel the print jobs
    then try to restart the print spooler of the computer (click start>run... then type services.msc)
    look for print spooler in the list
    right click on the print spooler and click restart
    if that doesnt work, then do a partial reset on the printer
    unplug the power cord from the back of the printer without pressing the on button
    press and hold # and 3 and wait for 10 seconds
    plug the power cord back
    wait for the printer screen to lit up then release the # and 3
    try to ping the printer
    try to print a test page again

  • New to iCloud and need help please with getting it working

    I've got an iPad 2 and an iPhone 5 and have decided that it's about time to set up iCloud on my devices. I have followed the instructions on the website and in the icloud settings on both devices have switched on mail, contacts, calendars, reminders, safari, notes, photostream (my photo stream-on), documents and data, find my iphone, and icloud backup on. I have ensured that both devices have been backed up and automatic downloads on iTunes & App stores have all been switched on.
    I have not yet set up my PC for iCloud.
    My understanding is that icloud will sync new downloads and photos etc so I have just tried taking a picture on my iphone, expecting it to appear in my camera roll on my iPad and nothing has happened.
    Please can someone advise me if I am doing something wrong or how to resolve this.
    Many thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
    Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
    Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
    Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
    If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.
    Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

  • I'm new to java and need help please

    I have an assignment involves modifying a previous assignment. the code for the previous assigment is shown below.(it was required to be done as an applet this assigment can be an application or an applet) I'm trying to modify this code to read a text file (items.txt) that looks like this:
    item # description price(this line does not appear in the text file)
    001 shaving cream 400.00
    999 razors 30.00
    I need to load the item# and price from the text file into arrays(I have no clue how to use multi-dimensional arrays in java and would prefer not to)
    I need to search the arrays based on the values entered by the user (item # and quantity) calculate the total for that item then create a new text file which has each line item for that order in the form:
    item# quant price per item total(price per item*quant entered)
    also also I need to be able to display the four items listed above after each loop as well as all the previous item number and quantities they selected until they indicate they don't want to select anymore.
    I've been working on this for days and it seems like nothing I try works. My major problems are:
    1. I have no idea how to read the text file and load those 2 items into their respective arrays
    2. I can't seem to create a textfile that looks like text for the output file.

    those 2 items into their respective arrays
    2. I can't seem to create a textfile that looks like
    text for the output file.The java.io package has file reading/writing classes.
    Here's a tutorial:

  • I'm new to java and need help please(repost)

    I have an assignment involves modifying a previous assignment. the code for the previous assigment is shown below.(it was required to be done as an applet this assigment can be an application or an applet) I'm trying to modify this code to read a text file (items.txt) that looks like this:
    item # description price(this line does not appear in the text file)
    001 shaving cream 400.00
    999 razors 30.00
    I need to load the item# and price from the text file into arrays(I have no clue how to use multi-dimensional arrays in java and would prefer not to)
    I need to search the arrays based on the values entered by the user (item # and quantity) calculate the total for that item then create a new text file which has each line item for that order in the form:
    item# quant price per item total(price per item*quant entered)
    also also I need to be able to display the four items listed above after each loop as well as all the previous item number and quantities they selected until they indicate they don't want to select anymore.
    I've been working on this for days and it seems like nothing I try works. My major problems are:
    1. I have no idea how to read the text file and load those 2 items into their respective arrays
    2. I can't seem to create a textfile that looks like text for the output file.

    First answer: You shouldn't ask multiple questions in the same thread. Ask a specific question, with an appropriate subject line (optionally, assign the number of Dukes you are willing to give for the help). When question #1 is answered and question #2 arises, it's time for a new thread (don't forget to give out Dukes before moving on).
    Second answer: I think you need a Transfer Object (http://java.sun.com/blueprints/patterns/TransferObject.html). It's whole purpose is to hold/transfer instance data where it is needed. Create a class something like this:
    public class ItemTO
        private String _number;
        private String _description;
        private double _price;
        public ItemTO( String number, String description, double price )
            _number = number;
            _description = description;
            _price = price
        // Getter/Setter methods go here
    }then, in the code where you read in the file do something like this:
    BufferedReader input = null;
    try
        input  = new BufferedReader( new FileReader( "c:\\a.txt" ) );
        List items = new ArrayList();
        String line;
        String itemNumber;
        String itemDescription;
        double itemPrice;
        while ( (line  = input.readLine() ) != null )
         System.out.println( line );
            itemNumber = // Parse it from line
            itemDescription // Parse it from line
            itemPrice = // Parse it from line
            items.add( new ItemTO( itemNumber, itemDescription, itemPrice ) );
    catch ( FileNotFoundException fnfe )
        fnfe.printStackTrace();
    catch ( IOException ioe )
        ioe.printStackTrace();
    finally
        try
            if ( input != null )
                input.close();
        catch ( Exception e )
            e.printStackTrace();
    }As for how to parse the line of the file, I'll leave that to you for now. Are the three values delimited with any special characters?

  • AS2 and XML help please

    Hi, I found a previous post in this forum that does exactly
    what I would like to do, but since I am new to adobe flash I am
    missing some knowledge. I have the actionscript code and the xml
    file - what I need help with is the GUI. I open a new AS2 project
    and press F9 to insert the action code. What do I do next? Please
    help!
    I attach the previous actionscript code posted by another
    member.
    Best Regards Eva

    Hi, thanks for Your reply. Yes, I have the .xml file, what I
    need help with is the 'frame' that You display the picture in. Do I
    need to create a layer or scene? I guess that myContainer_mc in the
    code needs to be identified in this 'frame'. How do I go about
    doing this?
    Any help is most appriciated!
    Best Regards Eva
