Difference between 32 and 64 and why is 64 your preference

Hi, can someone please explain the difference between 32 and 64 bit and why the 64 is a preference for some of you? I'm more concerned about peripherals and printers working with Vista Ultimate on 64bit, before purchasing and installing CS4 onto a new computer. Thank you.

Bear in mind that to run 64 bit you need (a) a computer able to do
this and (b) the 64-bit edition of Vista (not the normal one).
Good things:
* Can run 64-bit programs that use more than 2 GB (Photoshop CS4 will
be one of these).
* Can use more than 3 to 3.5 GB of RAM in total
* Each program can use up to 2 GB (if available)
* The excess is available for cacheing disk
Bad things
* Driver and software availability needs checking. Little things may
not work (e.g. in Acrobat, PDF preview in icons). Or big things.
* 64-bit applications will need 64-bit plug-ins
* Less mainstream, overall support may be more limited if things don't
work.
* 64-bit programs are a little larger and use a little more RAM than
their 32-bit equivalents.
Myths
* "64 bit programs will go faster than 32 bit programs". Myth, unless
the program can make use of more than 2 GB of RAM.
* "All programs will go faster in 64 bit Windows". Myth, unless the
extra memory you can use reduces the amount of disk operation.

Why is my SSD showing 250mb/s difference between read and write...

So i have recently upgraded to a SSD in my 2011 MBP. 2.4Ghz i5 16Gb RAM. I swapped my HDD with a Samsung 840 Series 250Gb SSD, I noticed a huge speed bump. See attached photos. Read is clocked at 503MB/s peak, and Write is clocked at 260MB/s peak on the SSD. My Question is why is there a 250MB/s difference between read and write?? Using Black Magic Disk Speed test. Mac OS X 10.8.4 Beta.
Thanks

Writes are performed very differently on SSD than they do on a hard drive, and it is common for SSDs to have lower write speeds than reads.
It's actually quite interesting if you're a geek: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Write_amplification
As long as the speeds do match your manufacturer specification for the model (and they do: http://www.samsung.com/us/computer/memory-storage/MZ-7TD250BW ) , there is nothing to be concerned about.

Why would i connect a external hardrive to the airport extreme and what is the difference between LAN and WAN gigabit ethernet?

Hey just wanted to know what is the reason i would connect my external hardrive to the extreme and what is the difference between LAN and WAN ehternet. I know one is local and other is wide but can someone explain in simpler terms.

Connecting a hard drive to the Airport Extreme makes it available to be shared across all the computers on your network.
WAN (Wide Area Network) is your connection to the internet
LAN (Local Area Network) is your internal (or local) ethernet connections (computers, printers, etc...)

What is the difference between #variable_name and :variable_name?

Hi!
What is the difference between #variable_name and :variable_name?
I have found that if we use alphanumeric variable then :variable_name return value in quotes but #variable_name without quotes.
Why it does not work in the same way for variable default values when variable is used in filter? (It works in mapping)
I use variable in filter like T.OUT_DATE>convert(datetime,:LAST_UPDATE_DATE,121)
When I use my variable in package and do refresh it works fine. But when I try to execute the same interface with variable default value I get error. Seems that variable name has been not changed to the value. It does not work with default value in quotes neither without quotes.
Any ideas how to solve that?
Thank you in advance!
Edited by: user13278245 on Sep 15, 2010 4:34 AM

Question is how to make it work with default value, when I execute interface standalone, not in package? And why it works in mapping but not in filter?
+ I have found that it works if source is Oracle. It doesn't work only for MS SQL source.

What is the difference between LH and LX modules?

I would like to know the difference between LX and LH SFP modules. Long Haul ( LH ) denotes longer distances while Long Wavelength ( LX ) denotes less energy which is obviously shorter distance. Why does Cisco use both LX and LH for certain SFP modules?
Do they denote the capability of the module to work both for MM ( which will be Long wavelength ) and SM ( Long Haul ) fiber? Do correct me if i am wrong.
What does it infer if a modules says like "Cisco 1000BASE-LX/LH SFP" ?

What does it infer if a modules says like "Cisco 1000BASE-LX/LH SFP
Generally a module is either made for single mode (More distance) / multimode (short distance). But this module can be used for both Single mode and Multimode.
If used with SM fiber it can go upto 10Km
It used with MM it can go upto 550meters (depend on what kind os MM fiber you have) You need a mode conditioning patch chord too with legacy MM i think OM1 and 2.
Long Haul ( LH ) denotes longer distances while Long Wavelength ( LX ) denotes less energy which is obviously shorter distance. Why does Cisco use both LX and LH for certain SFP modules
Read this link and dont worry about LX/LH (You will ge tthe distance mentiond above depending on the type of fibe ryou are using)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigabit_Ethernet
Before it was standardized 1000BASE-LX10 was essentially already in widespread use by many vendors as a proprietary extension called either 1000BASE-LX/LH or 1000BASE-LH

What is the difference between start() and run()

Hi:
what is the difference between start() and the run()???
in my app, i have
Console.debug( "starting thread to listen for clients" );
_server = new Server( this );
_server.start();
_server extends Thread..
why everytime i use server.start(); my app will terminate on it is own, even though in my servr.run() method, i have a while loop
and if i call _server.run() explicitly in my code, that while loop will be in execution
can someone let me know??
thnx

what is the difference between start() and the
run()???start() is a method on Thread that tells it to start.
run() is a method in the object that the thread executes.
why everytime i use _server.start(); my app will
terminate on it is own, Err.... I'm not convinced this is true. It'll throw an IllegalThreadStateException, if you try to restart an existing thread.
If that's what you're saying.
even though in my _servr.run()
method, i have a while loopI don't see the connection. Are you saying that the while loop never terminates, and you don't see why the thread is terminating?
and if i call _server.run() explicitly in my code,
that while loop will be in executionIf you call server.run() explicitly, then run() will be executed in the same thread that you called it in.

What is the difference between exists and in

hi all
if i have these queries
1- select ename from emp where ename in ( select ename from emp where empno=10)
and
2- select ename from emp where exists ( select ename from emp where empno=10)
what is the difference between exists and in is that only when i use in i have to bring the field name or what.... i mean in a complex SQL queries is it will give the same answer
Thanks

You get two entirely different result sets that may be the same. Haah! What do I mean by that.
SQL> select table_name from user_tables;
TABLE_NAME
BAR
FOO
2 rows selected.
SQL> select table_name from user_tables where table_name in (select table_name from user_tables where table_name = 'FOO');
TABLE_NAME
FOO
1 row selected.
SQL> select table_name from user_tables where exists(select table_name from user_tables where table_name = 'FOO');
TABLE_NAME
BAR
FOO
2 rows selected.So, why is this? the WHERE EXISTS means 'if the next is true', much like where 1=1 being always true and 1=2 being always false. In this case, where exists could be TRUE or FALSE, depending on the subquery.
WHERE EXISTS can be useful for something like testing if we have data, without actually having to return columns.
So, if you want to see if an employee exists you might say
SELECT 1 FROM DUAL WHERE EXISTS( select * from emp where empid = 10);
If there is a row in emp for empid=10, then you get back 1 from dual;
This is what I call an 'optimistic' lookup because the WHERE EXISTS ends as soon as there is a hit. It does not care how many - only that at least one exists. It is optimistic because it will continue processing the table lookup until either it hits or reaches the end of the table - for a non-indexed query.

Difference between void and null?

wht is da difference between void and null w.r.t java?

corlettk wrote:
Why do you care, unless you're implementing a java compiler or JVM?Wow, you sure do suck at helping out in a forum. Why even make this post? You're not helping the OP any, and you made yourself look like a tool.
To the op:
Null is java's version of a null value. Java's version is more strict then many other languages, and will not work in a boolean expression or anywhere code expects a real and not null value. It's simply null.
Void is java's way of declaring no return type on a method. Methods that are void take no 'return' statement and if one is provided will cause a fatal error. The exception to this is using 'return' without a value, which returns control to the caller of the method.
Observe:
//this method returns an int
public int return_int(){
    int value = 5;
    return value;
//this method does not return an int
public void return_nothing(){
    int another_value = 123;
    System.out.println("Here's the value: " + return_int());
//this method does not return anything
public void nothing_returned(){
    return_nothing();
    return;
    System.out.println("This line never gets printed; the method returned control already!");
}

Difference Between Shutdown and Close Database

Hi all,
Let say I want to start the instance of database with the following processes :
1. STARTUP MOUNT
2. ALTER DATABASE OPEN
With two commands above, now the database is open. Then, I want to close the database with command :
3. ALTER DATABASE CLOSE
After this, I want to reopen the database again by using this :
4. ALTER DATABASE OPEN
I know that it will produce an error because when the database is opened and closed, its lifetime has already ended, so we must shutdown it first.
My questions are :
1. What's the difference between CLOSE and SHUTDOWN ? Suppose in the case above, I want to close the database. Why don't I just type SHUTDOWN ? Why is it necessary for me to use command CLOSE instead of SHUTDOWN ?
2. What are the conditions of database when I CLOSE database, also, what are the conditions of database when I SHUTDOWN database ? I want to know more detail because I have tried to find in google, but now satisfying result
Thanks before
Edited by: cycon on Nov 8, 2010 9:00 AM

alter database close;this you can execute only from OPEN status
when ever you close the database it will go to mount status here you cannot open the database again, you need to clean sutdown and need to startup.
alter database open;ths you can execute only on MOUNT status, it will takes you to mount --> open status.
Thanks

Difference between invoice and debit note

Hi,
what is the difference between invoice and a debit note.
If I underinvoice a customer, should I raise a additional invoice for the difference or shud i raise a debit note. if i need to raise debit note, then why not invoice or if i need to raise an invoice, then why not a debit note
regards
sachin

Debit note is generally used to issue an invoice for already sold goods w/o physical goods movement involved.
If raw material prices increases which are utilized in production of Finished goods. then the business will submit the relevant documents as proof at customer.
Once Customer is accepted, then price increase effective date will be finalized , Then business issues debit note request for the required material & its converted into debit note. ( all this will be done, based on agreement with the Customer). Generally this scenario is most widely used in Manufacturing / Automobile industry.
where as, If invoice is created with less price than actual, you dont need to create debit note, instead you can either Cancel this invoice or create Invoice Correction request.
hope it adds info

What is the difference between upgradation and migration.

Hi Guru's
what is the difference between upgradation and migration.
actuallly i involved in upgradation project, here my role is
1. first i check the query's in 3.5 save the query and transport the query. and check the query in bex analyzer also.
2. go to BI .7 find the query;s ,give the query name and save the query ,
3. once save the query, again will come to 3.5 open the query , it will not open. this is my job here,
come to 7.0 check the query in analyzer also.
i am having littile bit confusion, how it will comes query in 7.0, why are u saving the query's in 3.5 and 7.0
query's already available in 7.0 why are u doing this work?
can i know the upgrades those objects, is it neccessary, if necessary how can i upgrade.
infoobje , transferrules, transferstructure ,infosoure, datasoure,updaterules, ods, cubes.
Points will be Assingned ,
Thanks & Regards
prabhavathi

Hi,
I was talking in a general sense not on a query level.
If your taling about migration in that level meaning as a part of larger upgradation (in your case 3.x to 7) there may be many places where you need to do this kind of activities.
Fr eg migration into new data flow, Migration of Web templates from BW 3.x to Netweaver 2004s, etc
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Difference between logical and virtual terms

Hello,
This is not purely oracle question; but in documentation so many times we find 2 terms:
A. Logical
B.Virtual.
So what is the principle difference between logical and virtual? As I know physical is that which I can see and touch; while logical/virtual is that is imaginary. We say tablespace is logical not virtual; while Java Virtual Machine; not Java Logical Machine. So I want to know; what is the principle difference; why two words for an imaginary thing. Before posting question; I searched in google as “Difference between virtual and logical” but I couldn’t found the answer.
Please quote your comments.
Thanks & Kind Regards
Girish Sharma

Girish,
I wont say that I am correcting you as this is like that half glass full/empty thing.May be what I see is half empty , you would see the same as half full.
Well now coming to the explanation.I am saying honestly , I got more confused after reading your definitions.What do you mean by saing that tablespace is not virtual.I see it as purely virtual.We don't say it as virtual tablespace or logical tablespace but it is actualy logical/virtual, having no existance but just the definition right?
How can you say that the size of virtual is larger than logcial?The size of tablespace is actualy the sum total of size of datafiles.So it actualy becomes very larger right?Much larger than JVM which is of few megs only.
The point 3 totally knocked me out.I have no idea what you said.
Ok I tell you this.Just remember the definition that Hans gave already.If you ask me than its the best definition that we can have. Just remember this and if some one asks you more further than give them your point 3 definition and tell them understand this ;-).Please don'tmind I am just kidding. Its just semantics.Don't get lost into it.You will find many people using both the terms interchangibly. So its ok.I shall stick with Hans's defintion,simple and concise.There are lot more other topics to dig upon in oracle.I can mail you lots of them.Spend time on those.Don't think that I am demotivating you.I understand you asked only because you have a doubt.But we got a good resolution of it and beyond that, its not of much use to dig it atleast not in the technial terms.
Cheers

could you plz tell me the differnce
it ll very helpful to me
thanx
kals.

Hi Kalyan,
SAP 4.72 onwards system is unicode compliant.
THE WS_DOWNLOAD and WS_UPLOAD function modules are not compatible for unicode systems.
So it is replaced with this new FM GUI_UPLOAD.
There is a SAP note on this issue Note 992677 - FMs WS_DOWNLOAD & WS_UPLOAD incompatible for unicode systems
