How to find out the locale setting in a browser?

In my Java web project, the multi-lingual issue on the JSP pages is handled by JSTL. It works fine so far for any input messages. However, some messages come from the container. It is needed to find out the browser's country and language settings inside of the container. My question is how to find out the settings?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, this I found on James' website--see http://www.rf.net/~james/perli18n.html#Q28
Q28. Can web servers automatically detect the language of the browser and display the correct localized page?
A28. Yes. HTTP/1.1 defines the details of how content negotiation works, including language content.
WWW browsers send an Accept-Language request header specifying which languages are preferred for responses. This technique works fairly well, although some versions of Netscape Navigator send an improperly formatted request parameter. Also, switching language preferences in either Navigator or IE 4 doesn't always "take" without first deleting a language hint.
Few sites do content-negotiation on language, and interestingly enough I do not know of any major portals doing this. One site that does is Sun's documentation library at SunDocs. Debian.org does a very nice job of using Apache content negotiation wih languages and also has some nice help info too on Setting the Default Language.
Apache's Content Negotiation features will select the right page to return, whether HTML or image file. Annoyingly, the match logic is very literal, so a browser request for en-us will not match a server entry of en except as a last resort. Any other exact match will win over en, even if en-us was first preference.
There are 2 ways of doing content negotiation with Apache: type or variant maps and multiviews.
Variant Maps
In httpd.conf, disable Options Multiviews if configured and add
AddType type-var var
DirectoryIndex index.var
Then create an index.var file like this:
URI: start; vary="type,language"
URI: index.html.en
Content-type: text/html
Content-language: en-GB
URI: index.html.en
Content-type: text/html
Content-language: en-US
URI: index.html.en
Content-type: text/html
Content-language: en
URI: index.html.fr
Content-type: text/html
Content-language: fr-CA
URI: index.html.fr
Content-type: text/html
Content-language: fr
URI: index.html.es
Content-type: text/html
Content-language: es
Multiviews
The multiviews technique works like this. This does add extra server load, as each content directory must be scanned for the variant document names.
index.html is localized into variant documents such as:
index.html.en (or index.en.html)
index.html.fr
index.html.es
index.html (or index.html.html as a reader has recommended) symlinked to one of the above as the last resort.
Here's an example of http.conf directives for this:
# in httpd.conf
AddLanguage en .en
AddLanguage fr .fr
AddLanguage es .es
# LanguagePriority allows you to give precedence to some languages
# in case of a tie during content negotiation.
# Just list the languages in decreasing order of preference.
LanguagePriority en es fr de pt
Options Multiviews
# end of httpd.conf fragment
Starting in Apache 1.2, you may also create documents with multiple language extensions.

How to find out the process count for a database during a particular window

Hi Team,
I want to find out the maximum process count reached for a database for an interval. Say between 1:00 to 2:00 AM IST. Please help
Database version:11.2.0.2
OS:AIX 6.1

Check DBA_HIST_RESOURCE_LIMIT. Your information will be there.
Simialr information is available in DBA_HIST_SYSSTAT.
Look for stat name logons cumulative/logons current - Total number of logons since the instance started/Total number of current logons
You can joing dba_hist_snapshot with snap_id and give begin_interval_time and end_interval_time to know historic process utilization.

How to find out the date when an oracle database is upgraded

Hi,
I would like to know the date when an oracle database is upgraded (for example 10.2.0.4 to 11.2.0.3).
Can you help me to find out these details.
Thanks,
Sarayu

Hi Ed and SB,
Thanks for your replies. How about this option?
Let us assume I am interested in checking when my database is upgraded to any 11g version.
Will this query help?
select min(first_usage_date) from dba_feature_usage_statistics where version like '11%';
I understand this may not be a generic solution , but with this idea I may be able to build up a query to get the result.
Thanks,
Sarayu
How is it that you or nobody knows when the DB was upgraded?
I would have expected a formal testing & upgrade plan.
Does the organization practice safe software & utilize any source code repository?
Does everyone suffer from amnesia?
How could a MAJOR database upgrade slip by everyone who should care about such a detail?

How to find out the extension set version in R/3 Enteprise.

Hi all
I have an SAP system with kernel 640 and Basis and abap and other SPs at version 620.
I am trying to install Auto id infrastructure. I have the following questions.
1. With kernel level 640 should i take my system as R/3 4.7 or ECC5.0?
2. How do i find the extension set version (2.00 or 1.10) of my R/3 4.7 system?
Thanks in advance:)
Regards,
Hari

Hi hari,
Ofcourse your system is a R/3 4.7 System and as it is running on 620 stack hence the extension set is 1.10.
for extension set 2.00 the stack level will be 630.
The same can be confirmed at
http://help.sap.com/content/documentation/r3/docu_sbs_r3_470.htm
Please note the following:-
a) SAP R/3 Enterprise Release 4.70 SR1
SAP Technology Components Release 6.20
<b>Extension Set 1.10</b>
b) SAP R/3 and R/3 Enterprise 4.70 SR1
SAP Web Application Server 6.30
<b>Extension Set 2.0</b>

How to find out the best settings for BDT

Hi there.
I am trying to predict a movie rating. I downloaded datasets from IMDb, prepared them. A tried all of the regression algorithms, but the best result is giving Boosted Decision Tree. Now I am dealing with the best settings in this algorithm.
With default, running time was 69 seconds and the mean absolute error was 0.4844, which is quite much I think. So I tried to improve it by changing parameters of the BDT module. I tried to set Leaves per tree to 150 and than experimentaly find
remaining parameters. I've come to Samples per leaf=12, Learning rate=0.04 and
Number of trees=700. Running time was 78 seconds and mean absolute error was 0.4596.
Input of the algorithm is joined matrix with 14 columns (11 features) and 67672 rows splitted into 70:30 (training:testing).
Is there any way how to find out the best setting of Boosted Decision Tree?

Yordan's suggestion is correct, though the documentation is a bit outdated.
You can use the single parameter + sweeper mode or define your own custom ranges in the BDT module with the Parameter Range setting

How to find out the set handler for a particular signal?

I have an interesting puzzle to solve. l'm investigating problems with someone else's code and I'd like to get the name of the handler that is set for SEGV. psig shows that the process catches SEGV, however I don't have access to the source code for all the libraries it links against and none of the source code I have sets a handler for SEGV. Is there a way to find out the name of the signal handler that is set for a particular signal in a process? I'm sure the source was compiled with cc -g. Solaris 8

Hello Haritha,
Please follow the path.
Go to RSA1 -> Metadata Repository ->DataStore Objects(ODS) -> Find you DSO(ODS) there and click on that, you will get all the details(Queries, Objects - Char, Key figures, update rules,etc..) related to that particular DSO(ODS), same is the case for Cube as well.

So please advice me how to find out the save as setting information of the active document file, and then inform to the operator if any improper "save as setting" occured.

How to find out the database-size

Hello,
how can I find out the size of the database.
I created the user as below. I defined the size of the database to 2MB. Now I want to know how much is the size of the database.
CREATE USER oemer
IDENTIFIED BY ...
DEFAULT TABLESPACE system
QUOTA 2M ON system;

Actually, since Omer is a veteran poster to the Forms and Reports forums, I doubt that. I think he is making a much more interesting journey: from front-end to back-end.
I'll be a bit more helpful this morning.
Databases are ways of organising disk space to store data. Fundamentally they consist of OS files, data files. The RDBMS handles by grouping them into tablespaces. When we build tables we assign them to a tablespace.
So, the size of the database is the sum of its datafiles. Of course, some tablespaces are used for sorting and holding undo information, so the size of the database for the purposes of persisting data is:
SELECT count(x.tablespace_name) AS total_TS, sum(x.MB) AS total_mb, sum(x.free_mb) AS total_free_mb
FROM   ( SELECT t.tablespace_name, sum(d.bytes)/1048576 AS mb, sum(f.bytes)/1048576 AS free_mb
         FROM   dba_free_space f, dba_data_files d, dba_tablespaces t
         WHERE t.contents = 'PERMANENT'
         AND    d.tablespace_name = t.tablespace_name
         AND    d.file_id = f.file_id
         GROUP BY t.tablespace_name ) x
/The SYSTEM tablespace is special. It is used by Oracle to hold the data dictionary, the definitions of all the objects in the database. It should not be used for storing application objects (it affects the performance, apatrt from anything else). That is why we must not use it as a default tablespace.
CREATE USER oemer
IDENTIFIED BY ...
DEFAULT TABLESPACE ts_users
QUOTA 2M ON ts_users; Cheers, APC

How to find out the size of a database?

I'm not an oracle dba but a report developer. I'd like to find out the size of my database.
Is this possible using simple query?

An oracle database consists of data files, redo log files, control files, temporary files. Whenever you say the size of the database this actually means the summation of these files.
select a.data_size+b.temp_size+c.redo_size+d.controlfile_size "total_size in MB"
from
( select sum(bytes)/1024/1024 data_size from dba_data_files ) a,
( select nvl(sum(bytes),0)/1024/1024 temp_size from dba_temp_files ) b,
( select sum(bytes)/1024/1024 redo_size from sys.v_$log ) c,
( select sum(BLOCK_SIZE*FILE_SIZE_BLKS)/1024/1024 controlfile_size from v$controlfile) d;
here
a is megabytes allocated to ALL datafiles
b is megabytes allocated to ALL TEMP files
c is megabytes allocated to ALL redo-logs
d is megabytes allocated to ALL control files

I installed the OID on our server, but now I have to have access to the databse. There is no problem, but there are no primary or foreign keys in a database, so I can not find out the relations between the tables in OID-databse.
How can I find it out?
It is very important.

How to find out the ASCII Values for Spanish character

Hi,
I had an requirement to store Spanish character and also need to fileter the records based on the Spanish character.
Kindly guide me for below.
To filter the Records which contains spanish characters?
To get the ASCII Values for the particular column?
E.g. we can find out the ASCII value of 'a' by using the syntax select ASCII('a') from dual.
But I want to find the ASCII Values for the particular column value. Ie. name.
E.g., Client name is "Suresh", I want to the ASCII Values for entire name of "Suresh".
Kindly do the needful help / Guidance on this.
Thanks,
Orahar

To expand on what I said in my first post, you want to do something along these lines:
with t (thename) as
select 'Suresh' from dual
select thename
     , substr(TheName, level, 1)
     , ascii(substr(thename, level))
from t
connect by level <= length(thename);The output of the above query is:
THENAM S ASCII(SUBSTR(THENAME,LEVEL))
Suresh S                           83
Suresh u                          117
Suresh r                          114
Suresh e                          101
Suresh s                          115
Suresh h                          104
6 rows selected.Note that the WITH statement is only there to simulate a table for this example. With a table, all you do is get rid of the with and substitute the name "t" for the name of your table (also the name of the column to whatever name the column has in your table).
Lastly, I suggest you post your question along with, an example table and the output you'd like to get in the PL/SQL forum. There are people there that will give you all kinds of great ways of solving that problem.
HTH,
John.
