Good SQL Practices Videos by Stephane Faroult

I saw these videos on the Oracle-L list
http://www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/feed.rss
in my opinion they are very educative for the fundamentals, also funny examples and images are used, I loved them and sharing them with all my friends

    We are evaluating the use of iPod touch devices to record best practice videos on our manufacturing floor and to post to an internal Moodle web site. How can you upload a video from the iPod touch to a site other than YouTube? The Moodle upload interface is expecting a file selection dialog box like windows or OSX. I do not want to have to go through an intermediary step of messing with a pc.
    Thanks!

    It should be around 7 and a half gigs. In iTunes, across the bottom there should be a bar that show how much storage is being used and by what. (music, movies, apps, etc.) To make music take up less room, you can check the box to make it convert the music to 128kbps AAC. This lowers the quality, but with most earbuds and speakers, you can't even tell the difference.
    The iPod touch has parental controls built in. You'll find them in Settings. I think they only work for enabling/disabling Safari, Mail, YouTube, and App Store. Here's an app that does more: http://www.mobicip.com/online_safety/ipod_touch

  • Best practice video conversion from download

    I am looking for best practice for video conversions.
    I am downloading adobe recordings via this method:
    http://server.adobeconnect.com/xyz/output/filename.zip?download=zip
    From here, I have been converting the FLVs using either freemake video converter or FLV converter. I have tried converting into AVI (XVID), MOV, WMV, etc. (I need the file to be under 600 MB for an hour of recording, therefore it is going to need some type of compression).
    My goal is to import the video into Sony Vegas Pro 10 for further editting. I have found that whatever method I use, the video and audio does not sync properly about 50% of the time. The video time is longer than the audio time usually. Or that there are other various errors, such as the video just freezing halfway through the video.
    I have been using connect for a few years now, but with each update I find (connect 8, 9, etc), that the problems are getting worse. At this point I am just wasting time trying to convert into various formats using various codecs just trying to luck upon one where the video is at least without error.
    What methods are others using to convert the FLV to a workable editable format?

    Can't the FLV files be changed into many different formats through Apple's
    Compressor or Adobe Media Encoder? These formats can then be opened in
    standard video editing software for editing.

    Yes, I use this as a last resort, as the quality of capture this was is
    signifcatnly lower. As well as it is a much more time consuming process. I
    sometimes have over 50 parts of 1 hour video. To use camtasia, you need
    first to record it, then it must be saved in a camtasia format, and then
    lastly rendered into avi or wmv. Therefore, it is does take awhile.
    Really, I feel there shouldnt be so many errors in the conversion process,
    but I am finding the FLV recordings themselves have problems. This last
    file I am looking at, even the recording playback on adobe connect, has
    serious issues with audio and video sync. A problem that is all too common

  • How do I capture good stills from video on Photoshop Elements 8?

    I'm using Photoshop Elements 8.  When I try to capture still photos from video clips, the results are not very satisfactory.  Usually the stills are very unclear, not sharp like I want them to be.  I have to make many attempts to capture a still before  I can get one that's halfway clear.   Does it have to be this way?   What can I do to get consistently clear stills from video?  Thank you!

    Fair enough, Barbara.  Thanks!

    Frame from Video is  more or less a legacy feature in PSE 8. It was meant to capture a frame or two from a short homemade video at a low resolution. It doesn't do HD video at all, and isn't meant for a clip that's more than a minute or so in length. It's been dropped from the latest version because nobody has those kinds of movies anymore.
    So the bottom line is you're better off doing this with some other program than with PSE.

  • Good programming practices:   creating Iterator objects

    Hi,
    This is a question about Good programming practices for creating Iterator objects of ArrayList objects. The following line of code works fine in my program (as ridiculous as it may sound):
            Iterator cheesesIterator = cheeses.iterator();but I was wondering whether Java is automatically inserting the <Type> and new code to make:
            Iterator<String> cheesesIterator = new cheeses.iterator();and therefore whether it is good practice to use these everytime? Thank you. ("full" code shown below:)
    import java.util.ArrayList;
    import java.util.Iterator;
    public class DemonstrateIterator
        private ArrayList<String>  cheeses;
         * constructor:
        public DemonstrateIterator()
            cheeses = new ArrayList<String>();
            cheeses.add("Emmentaler");
            cheeses.add("Cheddar");
            cheeses.add("Stilton");
            cheeses.add("Brie");
            cheeses.add("Roquefort");
        public void listCheeses()
             //make an iterator object of the ArrayList object
            Iterator cheesesIterator = cheeses.iterator();
            while (cheesesIterator.hasNext()) {
                System.out.println(cheesesIterator.next());
            /** Exploring the toString and Super functions. **/       
            System.out.println("\na toString call to Super returns: " +
                                              super.toString() + "\n");
    }

    iterator() is just a method that returns an iterator. It constructs an instance of a private or nested class that implements iterator, and returns a reference to it.
    As for the <T>, when you declare List<String>, that parameterizes that list with type String. The iterator() method returns Iterator<T>. You can look at the source code for yourself. It's in src.zip that came with your JDK download.
    Separate from that is your declaration of that variable as type Iterator, rather than Iterator<String>. Regardless of what you declare on the LHS, the iterator() method returns Iterator<T>. Your bare Iterator is essentially Iterator<Object> or Iterator<? extends Object> (not sure which, or what the difference is), which is assignment compatible with Iterator<T>. If you had declared it Iterator<String>, you wouldn't have to cast after calling next().

  • Is photoshop good enough for video editing ?.

    Hi.
    Is photoshop good enough for video editing ?.
    Thanks.

    As DSLRs and cameraphones have added the ability to produce short videos, Photoshop has added that feature in for convenience.
    This should clear up the question for you.

    Of course  it's not going to put Adobe Premiere or Final Cut Pro out of business.

  • Are iMac's good for professional video editing?

    Are iMac's good for professional video editing (and these other apps)?, if so what one is the best
    Software i would like to run (and run fast):
    Final Cut Pro 7/X      
    Premier Pro
    Avid
    Motion 5
    Colour
    After Effects
    Photoshop
    and maybe a copple of games such as the elder scrolls online, gta 5 (when it comes to Mac/PC) and skyrim (with mods)

    Yes, I'd urge  you to visit your local Apple Store and ask your quesitons. You may want to speak to their business professional who may have more expertise than your everyday consumer sales people.

  • Are iMacs good for playing video games like Skyrim?

    I'm most likely to be getting a baseline iMac and I wanted to know if these computers are good for playing video games such as Skyrim before I get rid of my current PC. Also, are these games even compatable with a Mac. I've heard rumors that you can't play these kind of games on a Mac.

    So, I can interchange between the Mac OS and Windows at any time I want or did I understand that wrong? Is it a one or the other kind of deal?
    Yes, please read the Boot Camp FAQ for additional information.  You will need to buy a license of Windows 7 and once your get the iMac run an App called Boot Camp Assistant and follow the on-screen instructions to install Windows. Once you have you completed you will have both OS X and Windows 7 installed. BTW there is a Boot Camp forum if you have more detailed questions, that is where the Boot Camp and Windows guys hang out.
    Note: Whenever you load MS Windows on your Mac it then becomes a  native Windows machine when running Windows. This means like any Windows box it is susceptible to ALL the other issues Windows users have to put up with including viruses and other malware. The good news is even if your Windows partition becomes totally diseased that in no way affects the OS X partition or OS X.

  • Good programming practice - Abstract class

    Hi all,
    I have been trying to help another soul in this forum, and came to the conclusion that I don't know good
    programming practice when it comes to abstract classes.
    Is this correct?
    You CAN implement methods in an abstract class, but it's not recommended.
    I have NEVER done this...when is there possibly a need to?
    Regards.
    / k

    Yes, absolutely, you can implement methods in an abstract class. Any method that all subclasses will perform in the same way can be implemented in the abstract base class. If subclasses perform similiar functions depending on their type you declare those as abstract in the base class. Here is a contrived example that I have seen on job interviews.
    Suppose your developing an application that draws on a panel. We want to provide some canned shapes such as a circle, a square and a triangle. We want to be able to draw the shape set or get its color and calculate its area.
    Let's define an abstract base class Shape
    public abstract class Shape{
        private Color myColor;
       //  since color has nothing to do with what kind of shape we're working with, create concrete implementation
       public Color getColor(){
            return myColor;
    public void setColor(Color newColor){
       myColor = newColor;
    // however, drawing the shape and calculation its area are depending on the actual shape.
    public abstract void draw();
    public abstract double getArea();
    // so then Square would be something like
    public class Square extends Shape{
       public double get Area()
          return sideLength * sideLength  // assumes somehow we know sideLength
    public void draw(){
                  // concrete implementation
    }we can do the same things for Circle class and Triangle class.
    And, if you think about it you'll notice that we could have made a Rectangle class and then Square would be a subclass of Rectangle where both dimensions are equal.
    I hope that somewhat strained example helps answer your question.

  • Good battery practices?

    I got an iphone today....and I love it!!!!!!!!
    I turned it on and have used it today and the battery is almost gone....should I wait until the battery is completely drained before I plug it into the wall socket? Also, is it good for the battery and the phone in general to leave it plugged into the wall all night long, like I did with my old cell phone?
    What are good battery practices in general for the iphone? I want to be able to use it without it dying out on me everyday, especially when I need to call someone. I don't know how to use it much....are there application or web things that I could turn off while they are not in use in order to conserve battery power? (How do I turn off edge? The E is constantly on the top of the screen...if I could turn it off, wouldn't that conserve power?)
    Any other conserving of power practices would be appreciated!
    Thank you!!!

    Apple put together a great page on the iPhone battery, check out the link below

    hope this helps

  • Good Battery Practice?

    I've just recently ordered my MacBook-- and though I haven't received it yet, I am still curious about good battery practice. If anything, I really want mine to last, and typically if asking just anybody off the street you'll get everything from "put your battery in the freezer" to "take out your battery, when not in use".
    Any thoughts? Should I charge it fully, then let it run out before I recharge? Should I use the adapter whenever I have the chance, regardless of the battery charge?
    I'm also curious whether I have to charge the battery before first use out of the box-- I looked through manual online, and I didn't see anything on that topic.

    It is OK to leave your battery hooked to the charger most of the time. The only time I unhook mine from the charger is when I calibrate or for a few minutes to use in another room. You should calibrate every two months or so to keep the battery fully functioning. If you use your MacBook infrequently, it’s best to re-calibrate the battery at least once a month.
    It is best not to use your battery unless you need to. Some people have hurt their batteries by charging then discharging every time they use the MacBook. This will age a battery very fast and cause you to buy a battery sooner than you should have too. Don't discharge the battery just because you used it. Li-Ion batteries prefer small charges over big ones. Use it and then plug it in as soon as you can. The only time my Battery is ever fully discharged is when I'm doing a calibration.
    The following links have good information about the MacBook and the care of it's battery.
    Apple: Tips for maximizing your Notebook battery charge

    I'm also curious whether I have to charge the battery before first use out of the box-- I looked through manual online, and I didn't see anything on that topic.
    No just plug in your power supply and have fun. It will charge whie your using it. If you follow my other tips you should get long life out of the battery.

  • Do IOS app developers follow any good program practices?

    I've had my iPad (original) a little over two years now, and I can say without a doubt, it is the most unstable platform I've used in nearly 30 years of using computers.  Most apps crash routinely, usually while at least one other app is running in the background.  Unloading the crashed app from memory and reopening uually works, but is a huge nuisance (and reason enough to me why iPads are not business-ready, except for specific task applications requiring mobility).  As one trained in both software and systems engineering, with 20 years IT experience mostly in engineering, I have to conclude that IOS app developers use "code and fix" development, with little testing before release.  Of course, in theory it could be that IOS itself isn't well designed to handle multitasking and doesn't provide adequate process isolation.  Either way, it makes for a frustrating experience as a user.
    Has anyone else had similar issues?  Thoughts on why?

    The original iPad does poorly with multiple apps open, the memory is just too small at 256 MB.  The processor is very slow compared to those in the current generation iPads.  And then couple that with developers who are for the most part independent of Apple and merely submit there products to Apple and you get a totally unpoliced set of apps.  Some are true professionals and follow very good programming practices, one that comes to mind is the GoodReader PDF reader.  Very stable and very powerfully built.  then you get into the gamers and Is is almost like they never heard of writing effecient, compact code.
    The issue I see is a tightly controled operating system, with app developers handed a set of specs under which to code, but no real controls other than does the app run and is it free of malicious code.
    Just some thoughts.
