Design Tables in CS4

Hi, I have just installed the design premium CS4 including the Dreamweaver. I can not insert neither a Design Table nor a Design Cell. I am in the DESIGN view everywhere. I set the insert point. I go to INSERT, then DESIGN OBJECTS. Here is shown another menu with Srpy and Div objetcs, but the option ¨Design Table¨ and ¨Design Cell¨ are like BLOCKED, INACTIVE, in GREY COLOR. Why? What did I do wrong? The REGULAR tables are working fine but what happened with the design ones? Thanks a lot.

1. In below image: The feature "Draw table Layout" has been removed in DW CS4, CS5 (I think CS3 too) because lack of useless code.
At right side. Image is captured from DW 8.
2. If you want to design the table, see below.
Hope this will helpful to you.

Designing table for client/server situation ....

I am designing table that will be accessed by concurrent users. It's structure is given below:
AccountID number(30) Primary Key
AccountName text(50)
I have a sequence named: "seqAccID" which increments AccountID and stores new ID.
I want to know what changes must be done in the table so that if concurrent users are creating entering in the same table and press enter at the same time there is no possibility of error: "Primary Key violation".

If you use your own counter instead, then the For Update suggestion is correct.

Ever used the Designer Table API (TAPI) with object type in the DB?

Hi all,
We are trying to generate the Oracle Designer table API of a table that has a column defined by an object type. It works without problems if that column always has a value (is instantiated in object term). The problem is when we update a row where the column is null (all attributes of the object are null thus the object is not instantiated).
The "before update row" trigger of the Table API fails with error "ora-30625-method dispath on NULL SELF argument is disallowed".
The code that fails is the following:
cg$ind.TFO_DESCRIPTION :=(:new.TFO_DESCRIPTION IS NULL AND :old.TFO_DESCRIPTION IS NOT NULL )
OR (:new.TFO_DESCRIPTION IS NOT NULL AND :old.TFO_DESCRIPTION IS NULL)
OR NOT(:new.TFO_DESCRIPTION = :old.TFO_DESCRIPTION) ;
In this example, cg$ind.TFO_DESCRIPTION is a boolean and the TFO_DESCRIPTION column is based on an object type.
Thanks for any feedback or suggestions

For a solution to this problem: I set down to write a relatively simple and small piece of code that we can use as post compiler or post generator. After we generated one or more TAPIs, we can run this post compiler to remedy the problem the TAPI has with Merge operations. The post compiler will fix the PL/SQL inside the database. It reads the TAPI objects using dbms_metadata, makes the simple change by manipulating the PL/SQL source and then recreates the objects using execute immediate. Using this post compiler, it takes but a few seconds to fix the merge flaw in all TAPIs in your application.

Database design tables

Hi,
Iam working on small application it requires database tables .I don't know how to design tables.I have design and fields depending upon this I need to create tables.
In design I have 3 tables
Table1:
projectname,type(efi,phase) radiobuttonlist,startdate enddate,empname
Table2:
efi type is radiobuttonlist field .If I click on efi it shows 15 rows and 5 columns (Textboxes,dropdownn...).
table 3:
If I click on phase it shows 10rows and 5 columns (Textboxes,dropdownn...)
columns(milestones(labels),StartDate,EndDate,walktesttatus,statuscomments,general comments) in both types(efi ,phase).In milstones columns there are different fields for each type.
Do I need to create EFI Table and Phase table separately ?

As noted above, share more details with us like what is "efi".
Typical project table design:
CREATE TABLE Project(
ProjectID INT IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
TypeID INT REFERENCES ProjectType NOT NULL,
Code varchar(12) NOT NULL UNIQUE,
Name nvarchar(255) NULL UNIQUE,
ModifiedDate datetime default (CURRENT_TIMESTAMP) NOT NULL);
TypeID is a FOREIGN KEY to the ProjectType table.

Creating standards-compliant web designs with Fireworks CS4 Problems

Hello,
i have some problems with using background image slices.
here is it(from the DevNet arcticle creating standards
compliant web designs with fireworks cs4):
With this feature, seeing really is believing, so let's get
straight to it:
1. Create a new 500 × 500 document.
2. Draw a 200 × 40 rectangle.
3. Set the background color as #000099.
4. Set its fill to be a Linear gradient.
5. Change the first Gradient node's color to #9999FF.
6. Select Edit > Insert > Rectangular Slice.
7.
Change the following properties In the Property Inspector:
* Name: bg_rect
* Width: 1px
* Type: Background Image
* Repeat: repeat-x
* Horizontal position: left
* Vertical position: top
8. Using the Optimize panel, set the slice's export format
to GIF - Exact.
9. Export as bg_slice.htm using CSS and Images.
10. Locate the file and preview it in your primary browser.
i followed these steps exactly but i get no tiled background
only the 200 x 40 rectangle.can anyone tell me what's wrong ?
Kind Regards,

I followed these steps exactly and also viewed the HTML/CSS
exported in Firefox 3.0.5, and the rectangle appeared with the
correctly tiled gradient background. (I'm on a Win XP SP3 machine.)
I tried changing the canvas color to transparent, moving the
rectangle and slice around, changing the width of the slice, and
even changing the horizontal and vertical positioning of the
background image, and the export was still correct. Is it possible
your background image slice is not placed over the gradient? Have
you looked at the CSS exported to confirm that "bg_rect.gif" is
listed as the background image for the DIV and that the .GIF file
is being exported and is a narrow gradient image? Are all of the
export options correct? (There's only a few export options for CSS
and images (.htm), so I doubt this is your problem...)
At risk of asking the obvious, are you using Fireworks CS4
with the updated CSS/HTML extension from the article installed?
HTML/CSS export works differently between CS3 and CS4 - John
Wylie's extension was created for CS3, and Matt Stow updated it for
CS4.

Sync up a database DDL to the Application designer table

Hi All,
Is there a way to sync up a database DDL to the Application designer table? We have a situation wherein these two do not match (in the nunmber of columns or fields).
Edited by: user12102490 on Apr 5, 2010 12:14 PM

A Record in Application Designer is like a blue print or a template to PeopleTools. PeopleTools also uses records to know what tables are in the database and what they look like. It does not use the database's meta-data or system catalog. Finally, the Records store some additional settings and properties to help with generating pages and loading the data into them.
I think Application Designer's build feature is what you are looking for. That is where Application Designer will generate the SQL to create the tables that make the record structure you see in the record. You have to have the record open and in focus in Application Designer, and then, you can either click on the Build toolbar icon or the Build option in the menu. Once selected, you will see a Build dialog that asks you what you want to do. You choose the Create option if the table does not exist at all, and Application Designer will generate a Create Table statement. You can choose Alter table when the table exists but the number of columns is different. Finally, if it is a View, you would choose Create View and Application Designer will generate a Create View statement.
It sounds like you need the Alter Table option because you already have a table in the database but the columns are different. What it will actually do is generate a Create Table statement with the new table structure. Then, it will write an Insert ... Select to copy the data from the original table to the new structure. Next, it will drop the old table. Finally, it will rename the new table structure to the original table name.
When Altering tables, there are some settings that you may need to deal with. Mostly, they are in regard to dropping columns. If you have a column in the database that is not in the Application Designer, then Application Designer will skip building that record because it does not want you to loose the data in that column. You will have to change the setting to make sure that it will drop that column.
Once the Build process is complete, you should check the output window at the bottom to see if it worked. You are looking for the line that hopefully says 0 errors. If not, you will probably see the SQL error statement that came from the database at the top of the output. Next, you should check the SQL. You can double click on the line that tells the SQL file that it generated. If the file is blank, that means Application Designer either thought the database matched the Record or there were columns that it should not drop.
The Build dialog has options to run the SQL for you or let you run it. I always choose the "Build and Execute" option. That way Application Designer runs the SQL for me, but I can also review the SQL to make sure it did what I wanted it to do.
There is a lot that could be said here, and I know I didn't cover it all. Does this help at all? Do you want me to elaborate more on any of it? Would it help if I posted screenshots on my blog of the Build process?

Designer Table APIs

Hi All,
Anybody has done projects using Designer Table APIs? We are currently in dilemma if we would implement the Table API or just create our own database triggers. We'll be deploying oure application thru 9iAS.
What are the advantage and disadvantages with the Table APIs?
Any feedback would be highly appreciated.
TIA,
Remar

I have recently completed a large project for a government department using Design with the Table API (TAPI). While this approach has many advantages, there are some problem spots. The main one is that error handling performed by cg$errors package is not very intuitive. It can be difficult to troubleshoot code imbedded in the TAPI.
That being said, I do like using the TAPI, I could not imagine coding for a large project that is Designer based without it now. It just may not be for everyone.

Can I use CS3 Design Standard with CS4 Web Standard?

I have a somewhat confusing question/s. I have CS3 Design Standard currently. I need Dreamweaver and Flash and I'd like to do it the most cost effective way. I'm perfectly happy with my CS3 versions of Photoshop & Illustrator and don't really want to pay for upgrading them unless I really have to.
1. If I purchase CS4 Web Standard, not upgrade, will that impact my ability to use my CS3 products. (specifically, Photoshop & Illustrator) Can you run both CS3 & CS4 concurrently?
2. If I upgrade from the CS3 Design Standard to CS4 Web Standard, will it delete my CS3 Photoshop & Illustrator or will it just add the CS4 applications and leave the CS3 products (that aren't included in the upgrade) alone?
Thanks to anyone who can assist me. I hope my questions make sense. Any advice is appreciated!
Rebecca
In case it's important, I'm running OSX 10.5.8 on a MBP

1. No and Yes. (but why would you buy the full version instead of the upgrade?)
2. The CS4 installer doesn't touch the CS3 apps.

Please Help Me -- CS4 Design Premium and CS4 Production Premium on Same Machine

We are a non-profit organization that gets donated software at a great price but you're limited to what's available. We bought the CS4 Design Premium Suite last year (CDs). I called the Adobe sales department to find out if I could run CS4 Design Premium on the same machine. They told me that I could. So I bought CS4 Design Premium as a download. It took a tremendous amount of time just to download the package, and once installed Premiere Pro would not run properly. I called tech support and spent 9+ hours on the phone and no resolution. They had me doing everything -- uninstalled both packages six times. They kept telling me I didn't have enough RAM (and I knew that was wrong because I have been editing using AVID before deciding to go with Adobe -- and I had the CS3 Adobe Premiere Pro, Soundbooth and Encore running on my E drive with no problem before I went ahead and bought CS4 Production Premium).
I took my computer back to the company that built it and they suggested that I replace my graphics card and sure enough, Premiere Pro worked fine. Everything seemed to work fine in both packages except Adobe Acrobat. When I opened a pdf file, Acrobat asked for a serial number, but wouldn't accept my Design Premium serial number. I called tech support thinking they would give me a different serial number for Acrobat or something simple. Needless to say after 3 hours, and uninstalling the software again, they told me I couldn't run two CS4 suites on the same computer. Then a supervisor told me I could run both suites, but I would need to run a cleanup program, uninstall both of my suites and start again!
All software in CS4 Design Premium installs except Acrobat. It is grayed out on the install screen as if it's already installed, and when I try to open a pdf file, the installer pops up, installs Acrobat, and asks for a serial number. When I enter the serial number, it gives me a red "x".
SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME!
I don't know where to turn now ... is there anybody in the United States that I can get help from?
Can Adobe deactivate my CS4 Design Premium and Production Premium and send me the Master Collection CS4?
Please help me if you can!

This is a user to user forum that is not monitored officially by either Adobe Technical Support or Adobe Customer Support. The issue you raise with regards to trading two copies of a suite for one of another is nothing that anyone here can assist you with.

Designing tables

Hi,
I am building a Question bank application, in which I want to design the physical structure of the tables for now I need 2 tables
one is Question Bank and another one is the Answer table.
How we can design these tables as a single question will contain 4 answers in objective. Hence how we can design the relationship between
these tables also how we can create a ER diagram for these tables? What tool we can use? Open source tool is what we are looking for.
Please let me know your opinion.
Thanks.

Please let me know your opinion on the above. Whether this looks fine or not?Where are the possible answers to the questions? Where to do you indicate which of the possible answers is the correct answer for a given question? Why the fascinations with BIGINT and SMALLINT instead of simply NUMBER?

How to design tables for Apex applications?

Hi,
I am learning Apex . I have one question.
Considering normal tables, I have primary key (some single column and some composite) for my tables.
But I learnt that Apex works well when we have primary keys using sequences.
So Should I do the following now.
1) Add a new column to all my tables which gets populated from Apex directly and make that column as primary key
2) Create a sequence to associate each such primary key
3) Make the actual primary keys as Unique keys + Not null constraints
Thank You

Why are you designing your tables o suit the tool? What happenes when you change development products? You SHOULD develop based upon SOUND database design methods. Use of surrogate keys IS a prefered development method, since use of multi-key (Composite) keys is known to be a pain for multiple reasons..
Take this small bit of knowledge.. Design you database properly for an interface and you will NOT have issues..
Thank you,

Tables InDesign CS4

Is there a way you can create tables from scratch using InDesign? or do you have to import them? When I import them, it will never fit into the text frame. I tried using the fitting technique, but never fix the problem.

The other half, not able to 'fit tables', might also warrant some help.
I presume that you mean the Fit-Content-to-Frame option (or one of its variants). None of these work with tables; they hang happily all out of the frame on the right (and sometimes left) side, and the frame is not aware of it.
This comes from
Resize columns, rows, and tables in the CS4 Help:
>Holding down Shift while dragging the right table edge will resize all the columns proportionally; holding down Shift while dragging the bottom table edge will resize all rows proportionally.

Bug in ODT 11720 - indexed columns list in Design Table is disabled

Start VS2008
Server Explorer
Expand any oracle db
Expand Tables
Design any existing table that has an existing index that indexes more than 3 columns
Click Indexes tab
Click the index name
Try to scroll the list of indexed columns, because youre curious which columns are indexed and what order
You cant, because the control is disabled

Checks should be made to see if other controls (such as the text box for CHECK code, or the list for PKs) are similarly affected

Design table for performance (order - ordervisibility)

I have tables like order, orderitem, etc. and requirements for order visibility:
- One order can be seen by many users
- One user can see many orders
create table order (orderid number, ...);
create table ordervisibility (orderid number, username varchar2(20));
Order size is estimated to be >=500Mio. Application is a data warehouse with reporting.
The relationship order - user will be skewed: some users will be allowed to see many orders while some will only see a small percentage.
How should we design the system for performance?
We think about creating table ordervisibility as index-organized table. Or are there better approaches like partitioning? Or is the approach with tables order na ordervisibility already suboptimal?

<<<What is your 4 digit Oracle version (result of SELECT * FROM V$VERSION)?
The system does not exist yet. Version will be derived from the requirements or most likely the latest version (e.g. 11.2.0.3 EE with partitioning option)
<<<Are you wanting to prevent users from seeing other orders? You said one user can see many orders but are they NOT supposed to see other orders?
Yes, you are right. We want to prevent other users to see orders that do not belong to them.
<<<What determines which orders a user is allowed to see? A state code, a region code?
The user in the OLTP system decides who can see orders (the user creating the order and maybe other users he selects)
<<<Does this database, data and system already exist or is this a new design? Are there any other security mechanisms already in place? Is any of your data currently encrypted?
The system does not exist yet. No other security mechanisms are planned (e.g. encryption).
VPD is considered to implement the visibility (or alternatively views.)

HELP: Best way to completely uninstall Design Premium CS3/CS4??

I am running a Mac and have CS3/CS4 Design premium installed on Leopard..
Is there an Adobe uninstaller that will do a clean uninstall of all files and libraries ... If not, what do I drag to the trash that won't cause bad things to happen to other installed programs like LR?

This guide may help.
