Difference between "precision" "scale"

Hello!
Could someone explain the difference between:
javax.persistence.column.precision and javax.persistence.scale
when using these in annotations
I mean, what is the difference between scale and precision? Any example?
Thanks in advance!

Thanx for the fast reply!
So if I have the number : 123456.22334455667
What would the scale and precision be?
precision = 11 (=11 digits in '22334455667')
scale=???

Difference between datatype NUMBER and NUMBER(38)

Difference between datatype NUMBER and NUMBER(38)

From
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/sql_elements001.htm#i54330
NUMBER Datatype
The NUMBER datatype stores zero as well as positive and negative fixed numbers with absolute values from 1.0 x 10-130 to (but not including) 1.0 x 10126. If you specify an arithmetic expression whose value has an absolute value greater than or equal to 1.0 x 10126, then Oracle returns an error. Each NUMBER value requires from 1 to 22 bytes.
Specify a fixed-point number using the following form:
NUMBER(p,s)
where:
p is the precision, or the total number of significant decimal digits, where the most significant digit is the left-most nonzero digit, and the least significant digit is the right-most known digit. Oracle guarantees the portability of numbers with precision of up to 20 base-100 digits, which is equivalent to 39 or 40 decimal digits depending on the position of the decimal point.
s is the scale, or the number of digits from the decimal point to the least significant digit. The scale can range from -84 to 127.
Positive scale is the number of significant digits to the right of the decimal point to and including the least significant digit.
Negative scale is the number of significant digits to the left of the decimal point, to but not including the least significant digit. For negative scale the least significant digit is on the left side of the decimal point, because the actual data is rounded to the specified number of places to the left of the decimal point. For example, a specification of (10,-2) means to round to hundreds.
Scale can be greater than precision, most commonly when e notation is used. When scale is greater than precision, the precision specifies the maximum number of significant digits to the right of the decimal point. For example, a column defined as NUMBER(4,5) requires a zero for the first digit after the decimal point and rounds all values past the fifth digit after the decimal point.
It is good practice to specify the scale and precision of a fixed-point number column for extra integrity checking on input. Specifying scale and precision does not force all values to a fixed length. If a value exceeds the precision, then Oracle returns an error. If a value exceeds the scale, then Oracle rounds it.
Specify an integer using the following form:
NUMBER(p)
This represents a fixed-point number with precision p and scale 0 and is equivalent to NUMBER(p,0).
Specify a floating-point number using the following form:
NUMBER
The absence of precision and scale designators specifies the maximum range and precision for an Oracle number.
And
2
NUMBER[(precision [, scale]])
Number having precision p and scale s. The precision p can range from 1 to 38. The scale s can range from -84 to 127

What is difference between 32 bit and 64 bit sql server memory management

What is difference between 32 bit and 64 bit sql server memory management
Thanks
Shashikala

This is the basic difference...check if helps:
A 32-bit CPU running 32-bit software (also known as the x86 platform) is so named because it is based on an architecture that can manipulate values that are up to 32 bits in length. This means that a 32-bit memory pointer can store a value between 0 and
4,294,967,295 to reference a memory address. This equates to a maximum addressable space of 4GB on 32-bit platforms
On the other hand 64-bit limit of 18,446,744,073,709,551,616, this number is so large that in memory/storage terminology it equates to 16 exabytes. You don’t come across that term very often, so to help understand the scale, here is the value converted to
more commonly used measurements: 16 exabytes = 16,777,216 petabytes (16 million PB)➤ 17,179,869,184 terabytes (17 billion TB)➤ 17,592,186,044,416 gigabytes (17 trillion GB)➤
As you can see, it is signiﬁcantly larger than the 4GB virtual address space usable in 32-bit systems; it’s so large in fact that any hardware capable of using it all is sadly restricted to the realm of science ﬁction. Because of this, processor manufacturers
decided to only implement a 44-bit address bus, which provides a virtual address space on 64-bit systems of 16TB. This was regarded as being more than enough address space for the foreseeable future and logically it’s split into an 8TB range for user mode
and 8TB for kernel mode. Each 64-bit process running on an x64 platform will be able to address up to 8TB of VAS.

Difference between Goods receipt based IV / Purchase order based IV ?

Hallow all !!!
Can anybody please explain the difference between GR based invoice verification and Purchase Order based invoice verification in brief ?
Thanks in advance !

Hi,
PO-based invoice verification
In PO-based invoice verification, items are settled with reference to the purchase order. Settlement can be carried out with respect to all items, irrespective of whether or not deliveries have yet been received.
GR-based invoice verification
In GR-based invoice verification you can effect settlement with regard to each GRs relating to a purchase order separately. In the PO history, each invoice item can be assigned to precisely one GRs.

What is the difference between Fiscal year variant, Fiscal year and Calyear

hi,,
What is the difference between
1. Fiscal Year Variant (0FISCVARNT)
2. Fiscal Year (0FISCYEAR)
3. Calendar Year (0CALYEAR)
In what scenarios they should be used. If we are getting 0FISCVARNT data from ODS. Can we change into other in cube at update rules level or some other level?
How can we get factory calendar????

Hi Gurus
I was going through this thread and came up some more questions in my mind.
1. Do we need to set Fiscal Year, Fiscal Varient settings once for all in BW ? ( The path is given in one of the thread above ) need to know if this is one time setting / rebuilding the tables. what will happen when we select and execute factory calender and Fiscal Varient and Rebuild tables in transfer global setting ? Is this one time we have to do for whole BW system?
2. when we go to SCAL t-code what we need to do and what it do in the system ? I know its for Factory calender but just want to know what it does. It it also for one time during BW build phase ?
3. How can we link Factory calender and Fiscal year? IS it thro Fiscal varient ?
Pl help me to clear this doubt,thanks in advance.

Whats the difference between ABAP stack, ABAP+Java stack and Java stack

Hello,
I have a nagging doubt about the difference between the ABAP stack, ABAP+Java stack & the Java only stack. I believe that the method of applying the kernel for all the 3 types is different.
Also can we apply the ABAP support packs through JSPM.
Please put some light on this.
Thank you

Hi Zaheer
ABAP Stack
AS ABAP is used to provide the ABAP foundation of SAP NetWeaver.
Part of AS ABAP is the Search Engine Service (SES), which enables users to search for
business objects using Search and Classification (TREX). SES accesses Search and
Classification (TREX) functions through the Search and Classification (TREX) ABAP
client. SES replicates the business objects from the ABAP application to Search and
Classification (TREX), so that it can apply Search and Classification (TREX) search
functions to them. When a user enters a search query, the Search and Classification
(TREX) system responds to it, not the database for the ABAP application. For more
information, see the document Installation Guide SAP NetWeaver TREX Single Hosts /
Multiple Host.
Java stack
AS Java is used to provide the Java foundation of SAP NetWeaver. Among the key
capabilities of AS Java are:
J2EE Engine a J2EE 1.3-compliant application server for running enterprise
applications. In addition to the pure J2EE standard technologies, the J2EE
Engine implements complementary technologies, such as Web Dynpro or Web
Services, that are targeted at supporting large-scale, real-business application
development projects.
SAP Composite Application Framework Core (CAF Core) is a service-oriented
architecture for building and deploying composite applications. It enables
modeling of different service types entity services that represent a domain
model, application services that implement business logic, and external
services that offer connectivity to back-end services by means of remote
function calls (RFCs) or Web services. Usage type AS Java comprises the CAF
Core runtime environment, while design time tools are part of the SAP
NetWeaver Developer Studio.
Web Dynpro is the user interface technology for developing professional
business applications for mobile as well as for desktop clients. Web Dynpro
applications can easily be integrated into SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Portal,
providing a unified layout for the end user as well as enhanced navigation
support. Web Dynpro also allows, for example, the development of interactive
forms using the Adobe document services.
Adobe document services is a set of runtime services that provide a range of
form and document creation and manipulation functions such as:
Converting XML form templates (created using Adobe LiveCycle Designer)
to PDF and various print formats
Setting Adobe Reader rights to enable users to fill in and annotate forms,
save and print them locally, and include digital signatures for authentication
using the free Adobe Reader software
Extracting data from SAP applications into Interactive Forms and transferring form data
back into SAP applications using XML
ABAP + Java Stack
Contains both functionalities.
I hope this helps

What's the difference between jsp and jsf?

who can tell me what's the difference between jsp and jsf?
I'm puzzled when I found some of the technology in jsp is so similar to the ones in jsp( javaserver page)

Hi,
Find the difference between JSP and JSF
1. A developer has more control with JSP, but (should) get easier development with JSF
2. Event handling is done differently in JSP (HTTP) and JSF (Java)
3. The UI is designed differently (or should be at least) with JSP (markup) and JSF (components).
4. The end product should also be defined differently - JSP page versus a JSF application.
Is this the only thing that is need to make a decision for either or? Probably not. There are other pieces that need to be taken in account when deciding which technology to use - tools support, enough components, type of application etc.... At this point there are not enough JSF components (although there are some interesting projects underway - Ajaxfaces, Myfaces, ADF Faces, and WebChart 3d) and enterprise tools support is still limited to a few tools vendor. Looking at our ADF Faces components they are currently available as early access (not production) and demands for these components are stacking up, literally, outside my office doorstep. Although I would love to make them production - now! - it is not a viable solution since we are still checking features and fixing critical bugs.
All this combined - not enough enterprise level components in production, lacking tools support etc... - leave customers in a vacuum where the decision is either to continue with JSP, since it is mature and has a wide developer base, or move forward with JSF not sure if the support, or the developers will be there. This is particularly sensitive to customers that need to get started now and be production by summer.
If you are in this vacuum here are some key points promoting JSF:
1. Fundamental unit is the Component
2. Built in event and state management
3. Component sets can be provided by any vendor
4. Closer to ASP.Net or Swing development
5. Choice of UI technology
6. Scale up (rich clients)
7. Scale down (mobile devices)
8. Built into J2EE containers in J2EE 5.0 (tentative)

Difference between 8 and 9?

Can someone tell me the biggest differences between imovie 8 and imovie 9? My computer has 8 on it, but I am teaching a class on imovie to teachers with 9. Thanks! Kelly
The class is tomorrow!

That's a rather difficult question to answer since different improvements will have different importance to different people. And whilst I don't wish to appear rude, I don't think it would be appropriate to try to teach without knowing the differences personally.
For me the biggest difference was precision editing.

Max execution time per pixel causing rendering differences between GPUs

Is there a maximum execution time different graphics cards
will process each pixel as part of the shader? When running the
Raytracing script (
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&loc=en_us&extid=1634 018
) on my Macbook Pro (256MB ATI Radeon X1600) then many pixels come
out grey or black as the loop per pixel that is tracing the ray
takes longer than some built in execution limit.
I first noticed this with a filter I've been working on which
looks fine on my alu iMac (512MB Nvidia GeForce 8800 GS) but
rubbish on the Macbook Pro or older iMacs.
Are there ways around this limit like splitting long for or
while loops into smaller chunks, or is it just a hardwired max
execution time per pixel?

I don't think you can time out on processing an individual
pixel, but I could be wrong. You could try reducing the number of
reflections in the filter and seeing if that fixes the problem. It
could be a math precision difference between the cards.
Shaders can (and will) time out, but individual pixels
shouldn't. It could also be a driver issue with the structure of
the filter. I have a x1600 mac book pro here and I'll try it out if
I get a chance.

Difference between Oracle9i Standard Edition and Oracle9i Enterprise Editio

Hi,
Can someone please tell me what is the difference between the Oracle9i Standard Edition and Oracle9i Enterprise Edition.
Regards

First, if you want Enterprise Options like Partitioning, you need to have Oracle Enterprise Editions. Note that partitioning is not included in an Enterprise Edition license ! You have to buy the option separatly (+25% of price).
A good reason to use EE is the ability to scale to more than 4 cpus...
Note that on some systems like Solaris 10, you can use SE with a multi-cpu machine, you just need to create projects and allocate at most 4 cpus for the oracle user.
Check with your sales representative for some coefficients per core depending on your architecture .

Difference between abap & hrabap

hi experts,
can anybody tell about the diff between abap & Hr Abap.
thanks.

Hello Dear,
Eventhough there are many similarities to ABAP and HR-ABAP.
The main difference between ABAP and HR-ABAP is Time constarint , Efficient use of logical database and Concept of infptypes.
1) In HR , whenever if you want fetch data, you will compare with time lines.
ex; a) what is the status of the employee between these periods
       b) what is the latest grade of employee.
       c) what s the first location of employee e.t.c
you can observe from the above example you can't use the data with out time lines.
2) the concept of INFOTYPE is mainly to capture the related information of employee.
ex: a) if you want capture the address of employee, you will maintain 0006 infotype,
       b) ) if you want capture the different dates of employee, you will maintain 0041 infotype.
In the above example the infotype 0006 would used to maintain only details diffferent kind of
addresses, permanent, temporary,emergency and secondary et.c
0041 would be useful to maintain only for dates,
Date of joining , Date of transfer, date of retirement , Date of separtaion e.t.c
3 ) In HR module we need's to manage huge amount of data. in order to get the precise information we use logical databse.
   why use of logical database ?
   a) default selection-scree.
   b) authorization-checks.
   c) to fetch accurate data.

TARIF - difference between Feature and Indirect Evaluation Module

Greetings,
What is the difference between feature Tarif that is used to default payscale area /ps type and Indirect eval module used for wagetypes ?
How is this used, applied ?
Thanks
AP

Ms Datar,
Well described, Thanks. Understood that Valuation module for wage type has nothing to do with Feature Tarif.
However, I also found Indirect Valuation Module called TARIF with variants -A,B,C, D.
TARIF
Valuation according to the "collective agreement group and level" specifications you enter in the IMG step:
Module variant 'A'
Country grouping derived from the employee's personnel area
Pay scale type from infotype 0008/0052
Pay scale area from infotype 0008/0052
Pay scale indicator derived from the employee subgroup
Pay scale group from infotype 0008/0052
Pay scale level from infotype 0008/0052
Wage type = SPACE
Therefore, now i understand as : Feature Tarif defaults Payscale values in IT8 .
and Ind Val Module Tarif ( A) reads the payscale values in IT8 and leaves the wagetype blank with no amount ?
Is this correct ?
