Differences in OS X Updates

I was wondering why there are differences in the OS X updates. I saw in several post that if there were issues in the automatic updates downloaded and installed, or the single standalone updates installed such as OS X 10.4.9(Intel), that it was recommended to download and install the OS X 10.4.9Combined(Intel). When I went to he updates page, the "non-combined" updates was only 150MB and had only about a dozen updates, but the combined updates file had close to 2 dozen updates and was over 300MB in size. Why the difference and why isn't the combined given as a choice or make the updates in several smaller parts? Why give only some updates, let us have problems, then tell us, sorry, you need the rest of the updates by downloading this file?

The difference between them is that Combo update has all of the necessary changes to go from 10.4.0 (or anything after) to the current version, whereas the non-combo (Delta) update has only incremental changes made since the previous update.
You don't always need the Combo-I usually use Software Update and get the Delta and with few (if any) problems. It's only when there is a problem that downloading and installing the Combo may help-maybe you have corruption in a file updated in a previous version that the new update depends on-as it'll automatically make broader changes to adjust everything rather than a just few files at a time.
If your system is healthy as it should be before applying the update, though, there's little reason that the Combo update will perform any better than the Delta.

What is difference between modify and update i am using

hi
what is difference between mofify and update
my requiremen is to have three condition checkec while mofifying or updating from a internal table
the three fields are
cus no
status
date these all are primary key in the database table
so which sould i use modify or update
there might be entry already existing in database table or new entry to be created if already existin it should check on the primary keys and updatat if not it should add a record
pls suggest whihc to use and how to implement the check on teh threee primary key
like if modify ztable from table it_test
now where condition ? can be used or not with modify? and if yes how
if not should i use update will update create a new entry if no entry is there and please give syntex
regards

Hi Nishant Arora,
Modify: It works in performing two actions.
They are: Insert + Update.
For Example If a record that is exited in database, so you are modifying that record, it updates that particular record.
Similarly, If the is not existed in the database, you are modifying it, it inserts a new record.
Update: Update means just it updates the status, I mean it only updates the record. It doesn't inserts any new record if that particular record is not present in the database.
These are the cases you need to write these statements.

Difference in select for update of - in Oracle Database 10g and 11g

Hi, I found out that Oracle Database 10g and 11g treat the following PL/SQL block differently (I am using scott schema for convenience):
DECLARE
  v_ename bonus.ename%TYPE;
BEGIN
  SELECT b.ename
    INTO v_ename
    FROM bonus b
    JOIN emp e ON b.ename = e.ename
    JOIN dept d ON d.deptno = e.deptno
   WHERE b.ename = 'Scott'
     FOR UPDATE OF b.ename;
END;
/While in 10g (10.2) this code ends successfully (well NO_DATA_FOUND exception is raised but that is expected), in 11g (11.2) it raises exception "column ambiguously defined". And that is definitely not expected. It seems like it does not take into account table alias because I found out that when I change the column in FOR UPDATE OF e.empno (also does not work) to e.mgr (which is unique) it starts working. So is this some error in 11g? Any thoughts?

It seems that my question was answered here - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2736426/difference-in-select-for-update-of-in-oracle-database-10g-and-11g

The behaviour seems like it really is a bug and can be avoided using non-ANSI syntax. (It makes me wonder why Oracle maintains two query languages while dumb me thinks that this is just a preprocessor matter and query engine could be the same).

What is the difference between qued delta update and serialized delta upda

what is the difference between qued delta update and serialized delta update?

Hi Ks Reddy,
Queued Delta:
In case of Queued delta LUW's are posted to Extractor Queue (LBWQ), by scheduling the V3 job we move the documents from Extractor queue to Delta Queue(i.e. RSA7) and we extract the LUW's from Delta Queue to BW side by running Delta Loads. Generally we prefer Queued Delta as it maintain the Extractor Log which us to handle the LUW's which are missed.
Direct Delta:
In case of Direct Delta LUW's are directly posted to Delta Queue(i.e. RSA7) and we extract the LUW's from Delta Queue to BW side by running Delta Loads. If we use Direct Delta it degrades the OLTP system performance because when LUW's are directly posted to Delta Queue (RSA7) the application is kept waiting untill all the enhancement code is executed.
Non-serialized V3 Update:With this update mode, the extraction data for the application considered is written as before into the update tables with the help of a V3 update module. They are kept there as long as the data is selected through an updating collective run and are processed. However, in contrast to the current default settings (serialized V3 update), the data in the updating collective run are thereby read without regard to sequence from the update tables and are transferred to the BW delta queue.

Difference between MERGE and Update/Insert

Can anybody pls tell me what is the difference between MERGE and Update/Insert statements.

hi vivek,
merge is totally different than normal update and insert.Merge is a combination of update+inserrt.
Merge statment first checks the data in your table, if data is already exists then it will try to update the data otherwise it will go for insertion.In case of normal update/insert it will not check the data directly it does the specified operation.
So based on your requirement you have to select the best option.
Thanks.

Difference between the synchrous update and asynchrous update

Hi all,
Can anybody explain the me the difference between the synchrous update and asynchrous update with some example.
Thanks in advance
Ramya

Hi,
Message: A Asynchronous updating. In this mode, the called transaction does not wait for any updates it produces to be completed. It simply passes the updates to the SAP update service. Asynchronous processing therefore usually results in faster execution of your data transfer program.
Asynchronous processing is NOT recommended for processing any larger amount of data. This is because the called transaction receives no completion message from the update module in asynchronous updating. The calling data transfer program, in turn, cannot determine whether a called transaction ended with a successful update of the database or not.
If you use asynchronous updating, then you will need to use the update management facility (Transaction SM12) to check whether updates have been terminated abnormally during session processing. Error analysis and recovery is less convenient than with synchronous updating.
S Synchronous updating. In this mode, the called transaction waits for any updates that it produces to be completed. Execution is slower than with asynchronous updating because called transactions wait for updating to be completed. However, the called transaction is able to return any update error message that occurs to your program. It is much easier for you to analyze and recover from errors.
L Local updating. If you update data locally, the update of the database will not be processed in a separate process, but in the process of the calling program. (See the ABAP keyword documentation on SET UPDATE TASK LOCAL for more information.)

Whats the difference between a combo update and using software update?

I keep my Macbook up to date by checking regularly via software update, so far with no mishaps, but I have seen people on these forums mentioning that a it is better to download the combo updates direct from Apples website. Is this true, if so why, and what is the difference? I am thinking of installing Leopard which would then probably need updating to the current version, so what is the correct way of doing this?

There are no guarantees, but following this procedure when installing updates and upgrades on your Mac, or even re-installing them, will go a long way towards avoiding unpleasant after effects and ‘post-update stress disorder’.
It is also worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, as they have all been extensively beta-tested, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
So before you do anything else:
If you can, make a full backup first.
Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site. If your car runs on gasoline you would not want to fill the tank with diesel, so don’t try to install the PPC updater on an Intel Mac!
The 10.4.11 Combo Updater for PPC Macs is here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10411comboupdat eppc.html
And for Intel Macs: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10411comboupdat eintel.html
If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
More information on using Software Updater here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1338
Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.4.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.4.10 to 10.4.11. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
Now proceed as follows:
4. Close all applications.
5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them compliant with the latest version of your operating system. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 3.
N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
If you are updating Safari (or just have):
Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed an OS update and Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari. Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4 or, if you downloaded it, Safari 3.0.3 beta. Safari 10.4.11 used Safari 3.0.4 which was not a beta. If Safari 3.1.2 on 10.4.11 is not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
Moreover, trying to revert to Safari 3.0.4 (or worse still, version 2) when running 10.4.11 or 10.5 can have repercussions, as Safari 3.1.1 uses a completely different webkit on which other applications like iChat, Mail and Dashboard Widgets etc also rely, and may entail you having to reinstall an earlier operating system.
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on. Two such add-on that have been frequently mentioned here for causing such problems are Piclens and Pithhelmet. If you have them, trash them.
Additional tips on software installation here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106692
To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
• /Library/InputManagers
• ~/Library/InputManagers
especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).

Whats the difference between the combo update vs. standard update?

I'm curious to know which update to use. So what is the difference between the two?
Thank you

The standard (called a 'delta' update) can be applied to one version back, e.g. the 10.5.7 delta update works only if you are running 10.5.6. The combo update will update from any previous version of the main OS release, e.g. the 10.5.7 combo update works if you are running 10.5.0 through 10.5.6 (but not, for example, 10.4.11).
The combo update can also be reapplied as a troubleshooting step (i.e. if you are having problems with 10.5.7, you can download and run the 10.5.7 combo updater).
If you use Software Update, it will apply the appropriate update (the delta if you are running the immediately previous version, the combo if you are >1 version back).

What is the difference between the two update statements

Hi Everyone
Along with the emp table in scott kindly insert the to ins statement into emp.
Insert into EMP
(EMPNO, ENAME, JOB, MGR, HIREDATE, SAL, COMM, DEPTNO)
Values
(8000, 'JAMES', 'CLERK', 7698, sysdate,
1000, 10, 30);
Insert into EMP
(EMPNO, ENAME, JOB, MGR, HIREDATE, SAL, COMM, DEPTNO)
Values
(8001, 'JAMES', 'CLERK', 7698, sysdate,
1000, 10, 30);
Consider the below two update statements.
1) update emp a
set ename=(select loc
from dept b
where a.deptno=b.deptno)
where exists(select loc
from dept b
where a.deptno=b.deptno)
2) update emp a
set ename=(select loc
from dept b
where a.deptno=b.deptno)
What is the difference between the 1st and 2nd update statement? what is the use of exists clause in the first update statement ? Can u suggest in what case will the two update statements provide different results.
Thanks in advance

Second one updates all records in emp. If there is no record in dept then ename will be updated to null.
The first one only updates records in emp where a record in dept exists. It does not matter whether loc is non-null in dept or not. In an EXISTS query it doesn't matter if you do SELECT *, SELECT LOC, SELECT 1, SELECT NULL - Oracle just checks for existence.
So most often an update like the first one is meant to improve performance by only updating those emp records that are needed. Usually that is a good idea.
For this very specific case where all employees do belong to a department, all records in emp will be updated anyway, so for this specific case it actually makes worse performance because it does work to make an unnecessary check.
Normally the EXISTS query is good for performance, but always figure out if they are needed first ;-)

Difference between App Store Update, Web Update and Web Combo

Can someone help me understand the difference between the following:
1. Mountain Lion 10.8.3 from the App Store at 4.4GB
2. Mountain Lion 10.8.3 Update from Apple.com 540MB
3. Mountain Lion 10.8.3 Combo Update from Apple.com 793MB
Which is the best?
Why is the App Store version SO LARGE compared to the others.
Thanks in advance.
Curt

1. This is a full installer which will work on 10.6.8 and newer and can also be installed onto a blank partition.
2. This will only install onto 10.8.2, as it only contains the components changed since then.
3. This will install onto 10.8, 10.8.1, and 10.8.2.

Whats difference between SDK and update eg 1.1.3

Can someone explain to me what the difference is between the SDK that is due at the end of this month and updates for example 1.1.3?

SDK stands for Software Developer Kit. It is not an update to the Iphone, it's an "instruction toolkit" (for lack of a better word) so to speak that will allow programers to create native iPhone/touch applications that can be installed directly onto the phone/touch.
The calculator is a perfect example of a phone application. Using the SDK a developer could create a better calculator that has more functionality which you could then buy/download and install directly on the phone (this is /just/ an example).
Sorry jia, wrong reply ^^

These crashes were related to memory management (probably caused by a driver).
Please run these tests to verify your memory and find which driver is causing the problem. I suspect it is a driver so I would start with Driver verifier.
If you are overclocking (pushing the components beyond their design) you should revert to default at least until the crashing is solved. If you don't
know what it is you probably are not overclocking.
