Help on data manipulation

Hope I can explain this correctly, here goes,
I have to do a help desk program for a conversion on a old help desk program, in each record there is supporting documents, but instead of putting this info a clob, the old program
has a pointer in the column like C:\Documents and Settings\burnetde\Desktop\Daarel's\Remedy\Ms Done DR Closure Requests.msg
and like
C:\Documents and Settings\dburnette\My Documents\SCRs & DRs\Z Cooper Update Notice_Jun 05.doc
so not all the same.
then the old program just has all the actual supporting docs in one directory so that the just the names are in there like
Ms Done DR Closure Requests.msg
Z Cooper Update Notice_Jun 05.doc
hope can I match them up and put them in a clob in my new program.
Thanks for you help,
Doug

Hi Doug
Firstly, as APEX is a web application, you won't (easily) be able to reference documents unless they are on the same server as the APEX installation - so I would forget going down that route (C:\... sounds like it may be on the client machine).
Secondly, the CLOB datatype is for Character Large OBject, for your purposes you would probably want to use Binary Large OBject (BLOB).
Now, this is simple enough, get them into the database and then you can reference them in reports etc. If you search for BLOB in the APEX help you should find plenty there to help you displaying them inline or as links.
Cheers

  • Help! data manipulation for high speed streaming to disk from multiple boards and multiple channels

    I am using Labview 7.1 and have been trying to capture data from 12 channels simutaneously sampled at 2MS/s each and streaming to disk for up to a minute or more.  The hardware I am using is 2 x PXI 6133 S series boards with a MXI4 link to a Pentium D 2.8 Ghz machine with 2Gb ram.   I have 2 sata drives set up in a raid 0 configuration which should give me hard disk write speed faster or equal to the MXI-4 transfer speed. 
    I have first started off by using the example code "multi device sync - analog input- cont acquisition" which has enabled me to sync the two boards and sample at the required speed. 
    To stream the data to disk, I have first merged the data from each board  together to save it to one file.  I have tried using the storage vi's but I end up with a Daqmx read error (trying to read data that is no longer available).  I have played around with the read data size to the point that I either get a insufficient memory error, or I get the "trying to read data that is no longer available"  error.  I have also tried using the file IO blocks with some success and have found that I have been able to stream to disk only if I configure the daqmx read block to output the data in "raw 1D I16" format and plugging it into the file-write block.  In doing this, I have noticed that using  multiple channels on one daqmx read task, I will get all the channels in one 1D array rather than a 2D array organized by channels.  This makes it messy to read at the end of this, and I also don't want to write another vi to separate the channels, due to the high chance of getting the data mixed or messed up if I happen to change the number of channels on a board
    Is there a cleaner way of streaming this data to disk and keeping the channel data separated from each other?, and/or is there a better way to capture and handle the data I need? 
    I have attached the vi which I have got to consistantly work streaming to disk using the raw 1D I16 format.
    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

    Hi,
    i can suggest following
    Refer to an example VI called as "High speed data logger.VI"  in conjunction with "High Speed data logger reader.vi" in Labview examples. Alhrough the logger might be in Tradiditional Daq format, it can be quite easily converted to Daq Mx format to store data in Binary (I32 format) . I have used this for many of my applications and i have found that the data retrieved does not have any "messups".
    Why not keep a seperate file for each card? This way, you do not have to load your application with extra process. You only have to acquire and save. After saving in Binbary format, you can retrive it offline, convert it to ascii format and merge the data files of various cards to get one consolidated ascii data file.
    hope this helps

  • Help With Date Manipulation

    Hi Everyone,
    I need help with oracle dates. I would like to format the following dates and keep it as a DATE datatype NOT char.
    1/10/2007 8:57:45 PM TO 1/10/2007 (only the data part of SYSDATE)
    1/10/2007 8:57:45 PM TO 1/1/2007 (first of the month)
    If I use the To_Char function, it will return a character string. The problem is that I need to retain the DATE datatype so I can join this query to tables with date fields.

    This?

  • How to solve "error occurred in the data manipulation engine"? 64bit Windows 7

    Hi all
    I'm having quite a testing time here trying to use the new SAP PA 2.0. After installation the software launches, the Automated Analytics seems to work fine but not the Expert Analytics.
    Steps as follows:
    Launch PA
    Choose and launch Expert Analytics
    Choose Try with Samples
    Open the Dairy Wholesaler file
    Error: An error occurred in the data manipulation engine. Check the manipulation parameters. (HDB 01001)
    I also get this same error when I try to create my own New Dataset.
    I’m on 64bit Windows 7 Pro
    Is there anyone who knows how to solve this problem. I've searched the SCN and online and have tried the following:
    1. Uninstall and re-install. Doesn't help
    2. Uninstall and delete old lumira related folders on the C drive e.g. the SAPPA and SAPVI folders on the C drive, then re-install.
    Much appreciated if anyone could shed some light on this. I've previously had Lumira working with no issues. I've since uninstalled Lumira, Predictive Analytics, and Infinite Insights (as PA 2.0 is all of this combined)
    Regards
    Ria

    In case anyone has the same problem, I found the the following helpful (taken from Error after upgrading to 1.18 ). The solution is for Lumira however its the same steps for PA2
    1.  You might want to try a ‘clean’ uninstall / reinstall . After uninstalling, try deleting these folders:
    C:\Users\Public\sapvi
    C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\SAP\Lumira
    C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Temp\sapvi
    In this step I searched for every SAP related file in AppData in the Public, User, and my own username folder under \Users\
    2.  Next, to launch the application, explicitly click "Run as Administrator" on the install file

  • Is there a Java utility class to help with data management in a desktop UI?

    Is there a Java utility class to help with data management in a desktop UI?
    I am writing a UI to configure a network device that will be connected to the serial port of the computer while it is being configured. There is no web server or database for my application. The UI has a large number of fields (50+) spread across 16 tabs. I will write the UI in Java FX. It should run inside the browser when launched, and issue commands to the network device through the serial port. A UI has several input fields spread across tabs and one single Submit button. If a field is edited, and the submit button clicked, it issues a command and sends the new datum to the device, retrieves current value and any errors. so if input field has bad data, it is indicated for example, the field has a red border.
    Is there a standard design pattern or Java utility class to accomplish the frequently encountered, 'generic' parts of this scenario? lazy loading, submitting only what fields changed, displaying what fields have errors etc. (I dont want to reinvent the wheel if it is already there). Otherwise I can write such a class and share it back here if it is useful.
    someone recommended JGoodies Bindings for Swing - will this work well and in FX?

    Many thanks for the reply.

  • Need Help with data type conversion

    Hello People,
    I am new to java, i need some help with data type conversion:
    I have variable(string) storing IP Address
    IPAddr="10.10.103.10"
    I have to call a library function which passes IP Address and does something and returns me a value.
    The problem I have is that external function call in this library excepts IP Address in form of a byte array.
    Here is the syntax for the function I am calling through my program
    int createDevice (byte[] ipAddress).
    now my problem is I don't know how to convert the string  IPAddr variable into a byte[] ipAddress to pass it through method.

    Class InetAddress has a method
    byte[]      getAddress() You can create an instance using the static method getByName() providing the IP address string as argument.

  • Best Practice for Package Implementation of Data Manipulation

    Hi,
    Would like to ask which is better implementation for data manipulation (insert, update, delete) stored procedure for a single table.
    To create a single procedure with input parameter for the action such as 1 for insert, 2 for update and so on
    or
    to create separate procedures for each like procedure pInsData for insert, pUpdData for update...

    Hi,
    Whenever you create a procedure it resides as a seperate object in database.
    In my opinion its better to create a single procedure which takes care of all DML concern to a table, rather than creating different procedures for each DML.
    If your number of DML are more and interrelated then its better to create a package and put all related DML procedures in the package concern to one transaction or table. This is because whenever you will call a package entire package will be placed in the memory for a particular session. So if you create different procedures for DML then you need to call the procedures each time you want it to be executed.
