Help needed with Express and SQL Dev

Recently was asked to make a sql server application work with Oracle. I have never worked with Oracle products and no one in my small shop has either. I downloaded the Express 10g onto a virtual machine on my dev server and oracle SQL Developer locally. I have no idea how to connect to the Express db on the prod server using sql developer. I have tried Basic and TNS connection types and all the errors are very cryptic. Any help is appreciated. Do I need to install anything client side to connect to the server?
I figured it out. I had to use the Basic connection type and I DL'd the J2EE .

Had to use the Basic connection type and get the right combination of options. I can now connect to my remote Express server with my local sql developer program.

  • Help needed with header and upload onto business catalyst

    Can someone help with a problem over a header please?
    I have inserted a rectangle with a jpeg image in  background, in the 'header' section, underneath the menu. It comes up fine on most pages when previsualised, going right to the side of the screen, but stops just before the edge on certain pages. I have double checked that I have placed it in the right place in relation to the guides on the page.
    That's one problem.
    The second problem is that I tried to upload onto business catalyst, which got to 60% and refused to go any further, saying it couldn't find the header picture, giving the title and then u4833-3.fr.png. The picture is in the right folder I have double checked. And it isn't a png. Does it have to be ?
    And the third problem is that I got an email following my upload from business catalyst in Swedish. I am living in France.
    Can anyone help ? Thanks.

    Thanks for replying,
    How can I check the preview in other browsers before I publish a provisional site with BC?
    The rectangle width issue happens on certain pages but not others. The Welecom page is fine when the menu is active, also the contact page, but others are slightly too narrow. Changing the menu spacing doesn’t help - I was already on uniform but tried changing to regular and back.
    In design mode the rectangle is set to the edge of the browser, that’s 100%browser width right?
    Re BC I have about 200 images on 24 different pages and it seems to be having difficulty uploading some of them. But it has managed a couple I named with spaces but not others I named with just one name.
    Is there an issue on size of pictures ? If I need to replace is there a quick way to rename and relink or do I have to insert the photos all over again?
    I’m a novice with Muse with an ambitious site !
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi
    Answering the questions :
    - Have you checked the preview in Muse and also in other browsers ?
    - Does the rectangle width issue happens when menu is active , or in any specific state , Try to change the menu with uniform spacing and then check.
    - In design view the rectangle is set to 100% browser width ?
    With publishing :
    - Please try to rename the image file and then relink
    - If it happens with other images as well , see if all the image names includes strange characters or spaces.
    - Try again to publish
    With e-mail from BC :
    - Under preferences , please check the country selected.
    - If you have previously created partner account in BC and selected country and language then it would follow that, please check that.
    Thanks,
    Sanjit

  • Newbie - help needed with array and dictionary objects

    Hi all
    Please see the code below. I've posted this code in another thread however the original issue was resolved and this is now a new issue I'm having although centered around the same code.
    The issue is that I'm populating an array with dictionary objects. each dictionary object has a key and it's value is another array of custom objects.
    I've found that the code runs without error and I end up with my array as I'm expecting however all of the dictionary objects are the same.
    I assume it's something to do with pointers and/or re-using the same objects but i'm new to obj-c and pointers so i am a bit lost.
    Any help again is very much appreciated.
    // Open the database connection and retrieve minimal information for all objects.
    - (void)initializeDatabase {
    NSMutableArray *authorArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];

    NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
    NSString *path = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"books.sql"];
    // Open the database. The database was prepared outside the application.
    if (sqlite3_open([path UTF8String], &database) == SQLITE_OK) {

    Message was edited by: dotnetter

    Ok, so I know what the issue is now...I just don't know enough to be able to resolve it!
    it's the tempAuthors objects.
    It's an NSMutableArray which is create on the line before the start of the WHILE loop.
    Having looked through the debugger, I can see that each dictionary object is created (with different codes which I assume are memory addresses) so all is well there. However, on each iteration of the loop in the middle there is an IF...ELSE... statement which in the ELSE section is clearing all objects from the tempAuthors array and beginning to repopulate it again.
    Looking at the containing dictionary objects in the debugger I can see that the tempAuthors object that each contains has the same code (again, I'm assuming this is a memory address) - so if I understand correctly, it's the same object...I assumed that when I created the dictionary using the dictionWithObject call that I would be passing in a copy of the object, but it's referencing back to the object which I then go on to change.
    Assuming the above is correct, I've tried several "stabs in the dark" at fixing it.
    I've tried relasing the tempAuthors object within the ELSE and initialising it again via an alloc...init - but this didn't work and again looking through the debugger it looks as though it was confused as to which object it was supposed to be using on the following iteration of the WHILE loop (it tried to access the released object).
    Having read a little more about memory management can someone tell me if I'm correct in saying that the above is because the tempAuthors object is declare outside the scope of the WHILE loop yet I then try to re-instantiate it within the loop (does that make sense???).
    Sorry for the long post...the more I can understand the process the less I can hopefully stop relying on others for help so much.
    I am continuing to read up on memory management etc but just not there yet.

    Wayne

  • Help needed with singleSelection and multiple selection in table.

    Hi ,
    How do i implement the singleSelection and multipleSelection on table rows.
    How do i capture the checked rows?
    How should the code be written and where should it be written.
    I should be capturing the values of the checked rows and pass it to the pl/sql package.
    I have a table - in -table so there is a singleselection on the outer table and multiple selection on the Inner table.
    Could anyone help me with this.
    Thanks,

    One solution to most of your questions : Read the advanced table section of Dev guide.
    Always go through the dev guide before putting up the issue. Let the forum be for those scenarios which dev guide doesn't covers in much detail.

  • Help needed with doubles and integers

    I just want to start telling all you that you have been a big help to me the last couple of months. Now, for my issue. I'm having a problem doing some work with doubles and integers. Below is the code I've tried. But, I keep getting mismatch types. I need num3 to fill in a JTextField by the end with the answer for the calc. Num2 is fill in from a JTextField with a double.
    Int num1 = 0, num4 = 0, num3 = 0;
    double num2 = 0, totint = 0;
    for(count = 0; num4 < count; count++)
    totint = (1 + num2);
    System.out.println(totint);
    num3 = double (num1 * totint);
    String k = Integer.toString(num3);
    tf3.setText(k); (This is a JTextField)
    Test data
    num1 = 10000
    num2 = 3.4
    num4 = 4
    num3 = the value from the calc

    First of all, your for loop is never going to run.
    for (count = 0; num4<count; count++)
    totint = (1 + num2);
    System.out.println(totint);
    num4 = 4 and will not be less than count, so the for loop will not be executed.
    Second, what exactly are you trying to accomplish here. The way you have your code set up, the for loop (if it were to execute) would print out 4.4 each time it passes, then do the calculation. You may need to rethink your objective.

  • Help needed with consolidating and moving itunes folder.

    I have imported songs into itunes using with the Copy Files To iTunes Folder When Adding To The Library box unchecked and moved the location of my music folder to an external hard drive.

The library points to references to both of these folders but not ALL of the files in the old folder as I don't need them in iTunes.
    I now want to be able to listen to my iTunes library when not connected to the external drive. How do I do this? If I reset the location of my iTunes folder back to the macbook do I then need to consolidate, and if I do will only the files with reference pointers go into this folder? I don't want all the music files in the old folder to go onto the macbook, only the ones with reference pointers to them, plus the ones in the iTunes music folder.

  • Help needed with hatches and fill patterns

    Hi,
    I'm trying to do an architectural drawing of a building in illustrator. I have the geometry set up in rhino and exported it but I now need to add the brick and pavement patterns to the geometries But I've no idea how to do it accurately?
    I'll attach the drawing as a jpeg as is now so you can see what I mean. Excuse the messiness, still very much a work in progress

    envelope distort might be teh easiest way.
    you could also try using the perspecting grid, but matching the plane can be a pain and sometimes the forshortening is completely the oppositie of what it should be.
    so i'd do envelope. draw the face you want to fil. draw a square with the same proportions of the face you want to fill. fill that square with your pattern at the size that they should be. move that square behing the shape of your plane. then make envelope distort with obejct on top.
    mask out the holes in the shape as needed with a clipping mask or solid shapes.
    play with the envelope handles to adjust for perspective foreshortening.

  • Help needed with footers and shrinking text

    Hi Guys
    I got a report that I want to print conditional headers and footers for. When I specify that I only want a foooter to appear on the last page, I get REP-1216 error, I checked out Metalink and followed a note on how to get around it but I'm having no joy. Can anyone help me out? I also want to make certain bits of the header and footer visible depending on a value retrieved from the report query only I get REP-1314 saying that my format trigger referencesa column at the wrong frequency. I know the value is in another frame but how do I make this value available in the margin so that the formatting will work?
    Also, I want to be able to shrink some lines of an address if it has a null value at runtime e.g
    My House
    First Address Line
    Second Address Line
    <Null>
    Post Code
    I want to format it so that it appears as:
    My House
    First Address Line
    Second Address Line
    Post Code
    I really appreciate if someone could help me out as always this is very urgent!
    Many thanks
    Ciaran

    Hi Ciaran,
    I only want a foooter to appear on the last page
    I am quoting from Note 1017067.102 on Metalink (REP-1216 when running report with field in margin) - you might have already seen this note...
    Objects in the margin region are restarted on every physical page. As a
    result, not all print condition types make sense for margin objects. Because
    objects are restarted on every page, it is as if you are always on the first
    page of the object.
    The print condition FIRST is the same as the print condition ALL.
    The print conditions LAST and ALL BUT LAST are invalid because "LAST" is never
    reached.
    The print condition ALL BUT FIRST causes the object to never appear because
    the object never goes beyond "FIRST" page.
    Thus, the only valid print conditions for the object are FIRST and ALL.
    also want to make certain bits of the header and footer visible depending on a value retrieved from the report queryYou can use conditional formatting / format trigger only for objects that are in the same group in the data model. For example, you can reference employee_id in the format trigger of employee_name if they are in the same group. In your header / footer Format Trigger, you can reference only report-level columns. So if you can make your column to appear at the report level (outside of any group), you may be able to reference it from the header / footer.
    want to be able to shrink some lines of an address if it has a null value at runtime You may be able to use Anchors. See Builder Help for more information and examples.

  • Help Needed With Mail and Reminders Vs. To Do Apps

    I am running Yosemite 10.10.3 and IOS 8.2 on a Late 2012 Mac Mini.
    I have been all over the place trying to find a perfect To Do List App that fully integrates with Mac Mail.   I have versions of Things, Todoist, and Wanderlist that will work, but I have trouble tying them into my ICAL for meetings and reminders.
    I am the kind of person who looks all over for a solution to a problem, when it might already be in front of me.
    So, how can I take a Email and send it as a to do item to Reminders, or better yet, a section of an email and send it to reminders.  I know from there it will automatically sync up to my iCloud and everything else.
    I do not need anything over complicated, or have to share with anyone, so I have been leery of investing in Todoist or Wunderlist pro because I cannot seem to get this going.
    I am hoping that the geniuses here at the Support Forums can help me out.  I am wasting too much time and effort, trying things and having it not work.  I have to believe that Apple has the solution right in front of me.
    Thanks,
    John

    Have a look at this page which Google turned u:http://www.uwc.edu/itresources/OutlookExpressConfig/OutlookExpressSetup.htm
    Whilst it's obviously for Outlook Express it contains all the details you need to configure the mail client. Point 5 has the server details for IMAP access (you typically can't access a web-based email account in an email client).
    Bear in mind changes you make on the +iPod touch+ will be reflected when you next log-on into your web-based email or desktop email client.

  • Help neede with UITableview and detail views

    OK. So I'm new to iPhone dev and have been trying to figure this out with no luck.
    I have a xib and coresponding ProfileViewController file that contains a tableview. The tableview is pulling data from a .txt file. This is working. However, what I'd like to be able to do is when a user selects one of the tableview rows, it pulls a different xib file, under the nav controller.
    For instance:
    Item 1 displays person.xib
    Item 2 displays animal.xib
    etc.
    I am also using a tab view controller and a navigation controller. The tab views and nav controller work fine.
    If anyone could help with some instructions/code, I would greatly appreciate it.
    Thanks,
    Doug

    Hi Doug - Do you just want each row of your table view to switch to a different detail view when selected? That's a fairly standard setup, so maybe you're trying to describe something else I'm not seeing yet.
    Let's start with the standard structure anyway. Then you can explain what you want that's different, ok?
    Have you looked over the UICatalog sample app yet? The main view of that app presents a table view under a nav bar. Selecting any row in the table view will slide the detail view matching that row under the nav bar. Each detail view is controlled by a different subclass of UiViewController.
    The UICatalog sample is a bit more complicated than we might want for learning the basic structure, but I think it's clear enough for you to see the key steps. Here's one of the methods you might want to look at:
    // MainViewController.m
    // the table's selection has changed, switch to that item's UIViewController
    - (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
    UIViewController *targetViewController = [[menuList objectAtIndex: indexPath.row] objectForKey:@"viewController"];
    [[self navigationController] pushViewController:targetViewController animated:YES];
    The above is deceptively simple because lots of work has gone into building the menuList array, which is an array of NSDictionary objects, each containing all the info needed to bring up one detail view. However with a little study, you may find most of the answers to your questions in that file.
    Note that while the view controllers in the menuList array are created with code in awakeFromNib, they could just as easily have been pulled out of separate xib files.
    If you''d like a really well paced, crystal clear explanation of how to use nav bars with table views, I would recommend Chapter 8 and 9 of +Beginning iPhone Development+ by Mark and LaMarche. I think you may be right at the point where you'll benefit from that book the most.
    Hope that helps!

  • Old iPad ios (3.2.2) help needed with backup and upgrade

    Sorry in advance for what I'm sure will be a remedial post for most everyone on here.
    I have an iPAD ios 3.2.2.. I know that's really old, but I have been afraid of upgrading for one reason and one reason alone: Smurfs Village! I know it sounds silly, but my fiancée plays it all the time and I'm terrified of losing all her stuff.
    So, I hook iPAD to laptop and see most of my stuff (videos, some games, etc.) in the iTunes ready for what I assume is a backup, but no Smurfs Village! I see posts out there on the Internet saying to just sync to Game-Center and yada yada yada, but that's obviously a "no go" with my version of the OS and i can't upgrade until I make sure everything is backed up...... See this vicious cycle that I have gotten myself into?
    I'm really kind of embarrassed typing this. I've had a couple of Apple notebooks over the years,but never anything that runs IOS so I'm really kind of lost and scared to do anything without some solid and sound advice from ths forum. I'm not even sure that if I sync to iTunes on my PC, will it back EVERYTHING up before I upgrade the OS. or is it just certain things that get backed up? Do I need to purchase a third party app? See, I am really lost here so someone please have mercy on me so I can get this thing (Smurfs Village) backed up and restored while still keeping my marriage on the right track.
    Thanks for any help I can get. I really appreciate it very much.
    Sincerely,
    "A desperate man"

    If it's an app then it should reside in your iTunes library. If it doesn't you can transfer purchases

    When you sync a backup of the device is done, which would contain app data among other things. You can also select iPad under devices, right click and manually back up.

  • Help needed with terminal and sudo

    I recently had an awful time trying to upgrade to Mavericks from Mountain Lion. I couldn't do it, I got the gray screen with the logo and nothing else.
    After a couple of days trying to sort it out I have gone back to Mountain Lion by restoring from my Time machine backup.
    I was contemplating trying to install Mavericks 1 more time and tried making a boot disk using Lion Disk Maker. The process failed and I was getting the message, "Root is not in the sudoers file"  When I've doe a bit more investigating it seems that there may be a problem with my sudo file.
    When I tried to create the boot disk from the terminal I get the message that my user account is not in the sudoers file. My user account has full admin privileges.
    Can anybody that understands the terminal please tell me what I need to do?
    Thanks
    John

    John,
    Since you cannot use sudo, corrective choices dwindle to either root (superuser) privileges, or reinstalling OS X. Apple has an assistance article on superuser. You should treat root privileges with the utmost respect, use it to solve this particular problem, and then resort only to sudo when necessary. My root is enabled and I never use it -- which begs for me to deactivate it.
    The ownership on /etc/sudoers is root, wheel — and the permissions are 440 (-r--r-----).
    Hopefully, you have a rudimentary vi editor knowledge, as the correct tool for editing the sudoers file is /usr/sbin/visudo.
    There are only two active privilege lines in my /etc/sudoers file:
    root
    %admin
    Hope this helps.

  • Help needed with flash and web service call

    Hi all,
    I need some help with web services and flash. I'm very new to flash, so please have that in the back of your mind when reading this :-)
    I've got a .swf file, and I would like to display a number received from a web service (using adobe flash professional cs5). Ive added the web service and provided the WSDL, but when i try to "Add Method Call", nothing happens. Why? What am I doing wrong?
    Hope someone can help

    start with the button that causes the text to be displayed.  find what it does (which may not be easy because most templates are coded by novice or intermediate level coders) and follow that trail to the text.  (note:  the text may be in a txt or xml file that's loaded.)
    to have a button release open a file, use:
    yourbtn.onRelease=function(){

  • Help needed with layers and project files....

    Hello
    I am new to after effects so this might be a simple issue for most. I am having an issue with my layers not matching the files in my project window. I accidently deleted a comp file the other day so I had to remake a few layers but they are not showing up in the project window/solids folder. I have 5 layers on my timeline and only 4 files in the project/solids folder. Some of the files names do not match the ones in the timeline. Is there a way to create a new comp with the files that I have open in my timeline or to replace the ones in the project window?  I started a project a few days ago, Im trying to make a few partical orbs dancing on there own path then they will come together and then creates a few smaller ones. Im at the point where I want to copy one comp to another or copy the layers over but the particals follow one light instead of the original light from its own comp. I think the file names in the project window might be the issue but I really don't know. Any help or comments would greatly be appreciated
                                                     Thanks a million

    Layers on the timeline are just instances of the source footage. If you rename them on the timeline, that won't affect the number or naming of the sources in the project window. Toggle the column header in the TL to see which laywer uses which source.
