FileMaker Pro and Database Connectivity

Has anyone successfully accessed a FileMaker Pro DB file using the DB Connectivity Toolset? If so what ODBC setup et al was used? I currently have an application that uses an MS Access DB file and am considering migrating to using FileMaker Pro DB instead.

Performance with MySQL and Database connectivity toolbox

Hi!
I'm having quite some problems with the performance of MySQL and Database connectivity toolbox. However, I'm very happy with the ease of using database connectivity toolbox. The background is:
I have 61 variables (ints and floats) which I would like to save in the MySQL-database. This is no problem, however, the loop time increases from 8ms to 50ms when using the database. I have concluded that it has to do with the DB Tools Insert Data.vi and I think that I have some kind of performance issue with this VI. The CPU never reach more the 15% of its maximum performance. I use a default setup and connect through ODBC.
My questions are:
1. I would like to save 61 variables each 8-10ms, is this impossible using this solution?
2. Is there any way of increasing the performance of the DB Tools Insert Data.vi or use any other VI?
3. Is there any way of adjusting the MySQL setup to achieve better performance?
Thank you very much for your time.
Regards,
Mattias

First of all, thank you very much for your time. All of you have been really good support to me.
>> Is your database on a different computer? Does your loop execute 61 times?
Database is on the same computer as the MySQL server.
The loop saves 61 values at once to the database, in one SQL-statement.
I have now added the front panel and block diagram for my test-VI. I have implemented the queue system and separate loops for producer and consumer. However, since the queue is building up faster then the consumer loop consumes values, the queue is building up quite fast and the disc starts working.
The test database table that I add data to is created by a simple:
create table test(aa int, bb char(15));
...I'm sure that this can be improved in some way.
I always open and close the connection to the database "outside the loop". However, it still takes some 40-50 ms to save the data to the database table - so, unfortunatly no progress to far. I currently just want to save the data.
Any more advise will be gratefully accepted.
Regards,
Mattias

I run Dev 6i on Windows 2008 R2 64-bit,the forms are working fine after connection to the database but the reports continue to request for username, password and database connection string every time i try to open a report.

I receive REP-0501: Unable to connect to specified database. I run developer 6i application on windows 2008 r2. I have applied the nn60.dll and nnb60.dll files to the \BIN directory. The forms are working fine. The reports will only display after the correct user id (username, password and database connection string) is supplied. This is happening to all attempts to open already complied form. Pls, help.

If you are connecting to an Oracle 11g database, remember that by default the passwords are case sensitive. To disable that, run
ALTER SYSTEM SET SEC_CASE_SENSITIVE_LOGON = FALSE;

If you are running Lion then all drivers are distributed through Software Update. You do not need to install anything, other than to install the printer in System Preferences > Print & Scan. If you already added the printer while it was connected using USB, you might want to delete it and set it up again wirelessly to avoid confusion. Or, give them two distinct names e.g. "Photosmart D110 (USB)" and "Photosmart D110 (wireless)".
All scanning functions are now performed using Preview, but you can also access the scanner through the same Print & Scan preference pane, or with Image Capture.
This HP document may help explain how driver software is distributed now:

Enabling Usage Rights for Web Service and Database connectivity

We are looking for code that allows us to enable web service and database connectivity rights into a form. We are using LiveCycle Forms 7.2 to render the XDP and merge data. Because we are merging data into the form, it has to be reader enabled through the code everytime it is presented to the user in our application.
usageRights[0] = com.adobe.document.pdf.DOCUMENT_SAVE.value;

(IMP)Application module and database connection

Hi,
How application module pooling and database connection pooling is working ?
Currently i m facing a problem like if i am creating 10 browser session then it doesn't mean that i'll have only 10 db sessions. While closing the browser session of application module time out respective db session is not removed.
In this case, invalid db session are created in bulk which is crashing database sometime. We have writter script to kill those session periodically but in this case if application module is accessing such dbconnection then we are getting session killed error or not logged in error.
To over come we need to bounce the server (middle tier).
Is there any proper way to solve this or am i doing something wrong ?
Please let me know if you need any more details.
Thanks in advance

Repeat loop in filemaker Pro 7 database

How can I get my script to loop through a large FM database of records and change the data in a particular field as in the script below? I cannot figure out the syntax for the repeat loop...
with timeout of "3000" seconds
tell application "FileMaker Pro"
go to database "CPA FM Log Copy"
show every record of database "CPA FM Log Copy"
set theCount to number of record of database "CPA FM Log Copy" as integer
repeat with i from record theCount of database "CPA FM Log Copy"
if field "ph" of record i of database "CPA FM Log Copy" is "NG" then
set data field "ph" of current record of database "CPA FM Log Copy" to "Nice Going"
else if field "ph" of record i of database "CPA FM Log Copy" is "EC" then
set data field "ph" of current record of database "CPA FM Log Copy" to "Everything Cool"
end if
end repeat
end tell
end timeout

Depending on the number of records in the database, this isn't the most efficient way of doing this.
You should use a 'whose' clause in your script to narrow the FileMaker results to the subset of records you want to change, then change them all at once. This is far more efficient than looping through thousands of records in AppleScript looking for the ones you want.
This should get you on the right track:
<pre class=command>tell application "Filemaker Pro"
go to database "CPA FM Log Copy"
set theResults to every record of database "CPA FM Log Copy" whose field "ph" is "NG"
set data field "ph" of every item of theResults to "Nice Going"
set theResults to every record of database "CPA FM Log Copy" whose field "ph" is "EC"
set data field "ph" of every item of theResults to "Everything Cool"
end tell</pre>
In this way you let Filemaker do the searching (which is what it's optimized for), and your script does the least work necessary.
BTW, just so you know why your original script fails, it's because you say:
<pre class=command>set data field "ph" of current record of database "CPA FM Log Copy" to "Nice Going"</pre>
Note that you're always setting the 'current record'. This means that even if there are 1000 records in the database, you only ever set the first field. If you wanted to maintain the repeat approach this would have to change to something like:
<pre class=command>set data field "ph" of record i of database "CPA FM Log Copy" to "Nice Going"</pre>
so now it uses the loop iterator to track which record to change. An even better model that does use a scalar index is to do something like:
<pre class=command>repeat with curRecord in every record of database "CPA FM Log Copy"
if field "ph" of curRecord is "NG" then
set data field "ph" of curRecord to "Nice Going"
end if
end repeat</pre>
This nice thing about this model is that it uses FileMaker's internal references for records so that you know you're changing the right thing. This can be crucial if working in a multi-user database where there might be someone else is editing the data in parallel, changing theCount.

Macbook pro and iphone connection weirdness

I've recently replaced my old router with a netgear dgn2000 model (supports up to n wireless). My pc, xbox and ps3 connects to it without any problem but, sadly, any of the houses 3 apple products (macbook pro and 2 iphones) see the signal at full strength, attempt to connect to it and come up with an invalid password error.
I'm using WEP security but tried WPA-PSK with similar lack of luck. Anyone have any idea where I could begin to start looking? It's frustrating feeling there's probably a simple error that's occuring but I'm just prodding in all the wrong places!
Cheers in advance.

I meant on the router. If it does work without a password, then the problem resides in the security measures. Do you really need the password on your router?

MacBook Pro and Airport connection problem

My MacBook Pro has a volatile connection to my Airport Express base station.
I have a 2-month old 15.4" MacBook Pro (Intel Core 2 Duo), all software updates are installed, etc. I connect to the internet through an Airport base station. For the past few days my MBP has had a dodgy connection, slowing down at seeming random and then occasionally disconnecting from the base station entirely, although the Airport icon on the MBP is always on. While downloading a file I noticed that the speed of the connection was incrementally slowing until it stopped, and it was only after a couple of retries and then connecting to the base station again (by finding it amongst the other networks on the pull-down menu that you get when you click on the Airport icon) that my connection resumed at its previous speed.
My 12" PowerPC iBook connects to the internet over this Airport base station at full speed, no problems.
I've tried resetting the PRAM on my MBP without change.
One possibly noteworthy change is that this past week I updated my Parallels software to 3.0, which may have an effect based on some of the other threads I've read.
What now?!

After trying all of the above the suggestions, the problem returned as before. However, after digging some more I discovered that the issue appears to lie with the 10.4.10 version of the Mac OS; when I checked the software log under the system profiler I noticed that I had installed that update at about the time my Airport problems began. Apple then quietly released a v 1.1 combo update to 10.4.10 on July 2nd, which once installed appears to have resolved the problem. You can find the download at http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10410comboupdatev11intel.html
What's curious is that originally Apple listed that the v 1.1 combo update resolved some issues with RAW image data, and some sound problems, which don't seem to have anything to do with Airport.

How to use sql request with Jdev and database connection

Hello,
I have a login page with simple username and password inputsecret text and a button validate! I would like, when the user click on the validate button, to check in the database that the user and password matches. I've done the "Method BIndind..." with the commandButton_action and the database connection works fine.
How can I use an already existing procedure, say authenticate, wich is stored in the database to authenticate my user ?
Do I have to create a jdbc connection in java even if I've done the connection with the "create new database connection" wizard ?
String s1 = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@address:1521:ORCL";
System.out.println( "Connecting with: " );
System.out.println( s1 );
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver());
this.conn = DriverManager.getConnection( s1,"user","pass");
thanks for your help

Creating a connection to the DB in JDeveloper doesn't mean that your application is now connected to the DB - so yes you do need to create a connection to the database using JDBC.
One note - if you are trying to do a database user authentication the following is probably the better way to go about it:

Setup Airport Extreme for the home wireless - MacBook Air, Pro, and iPad connect just fine. Wireless will not work to Windows 7 and Vista machines - network seen, tries to connect, but fails after entering WPA key.

Can't get Windows Vista or Windows 7 laptops to access internet via Airport Extreme. Works fine with security on MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and iPad. Brand new Airport, bought today. Windows machines worked fine with existing, relatively modern Cisco home router. The Windows machines see the wireless network, prompt for password, and then cannot connect. Have tried all sorts of things with Windows machines, deleted existing networks, etc. even tried guest login with no security on the Airport - no luck. Windows XP machine directly (wire) connected works fine. Magic Jack works OK. Light is green on the front.

Thank you very much for your help @Sunshyn2005!!!!! I think we're good to go now!

Oracle 64-bit and database connectivity toolkit

Hello- I am attempting to connect to an Oracle database by interfacing the databse connectivity toolkit with the Oracle 10.2.0.3 64-bit that my customer uses. I am running LV13 32-bit on their machine. I am unable to connect to the database. Are there any known issues with this type of setup?

There's some discussion about an unsupported method to use the Database Connectivity Toolkit with 64-bit Windows here: http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW-Idea-Exchange/64-bit-Database-Toolkit/idi-p/2170088
That may help with the problem you're seeing. Something else to consider is the manual (page 1-2):
The Microsoft ODBC driver for Oracle and the Microsoft OLE DB
Provider for Oracle do not support BLOB (binary) data types. You
cannot use Oracle with the Database Connectivity Toolkit for binary
data with these drivers. Instead, use the OLE DB Provider and ODBC
driver that Oracle provides. Refer to the Oracle Web site at

LabView 5.1 and Database Connectivity Toolkit Compatibility?

I am looking to serve some data from a LabView 5.1 application up to an Oracle 8i database. I have looked at the current Database Connectivity Toolkit (which uses ADO technology), but am not sure if this will be compatible with LabView 5.1... is it? If not, what are my alternatives? Are older versions of this toolkit available?
Thanks!

Also, could someone touch on how forward compatible LabView applications are? In this scenario, I have the same 5.1 application which now requires some database connectivity. Since the SQL Toolkit is no longer supported, I would be left with upgrading LabView to 7.0 and using the Database Connectivity Toolkit. How well (in general) do earlier LabView applications convert to newer versions?
Thanks again!
