Help with sqlplus and running script

Hi,
I have some software that uses Oracle for it's database. However the supporting documentation is pretty thin and expects the product to be installed by a professional.
I've installed the prodyct and created a database mfdb.
My documentation says, run:
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus username@service name
Then, to run the script in sqlplus use
@schema_oracle.sql
Please can someone advise me what the username@service name should be, or how I determine these? I'm not concerned with security, just need to test the software.
Thanks in advance.
Mark

Mark,
If you are connecting to the database from the local machine you should be able to leave out the service name part as SQL*Plus will connect to the default database. You should have been asked during the install to enter passwords for some standard users. Which version of Oracle are you using?
Try some of these:
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus scott/tiger@mfdb
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus scott/tiger
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus sys/change_on_install as sysdba
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus / as sysdba

  • Help with search and replace script please

    Hi all
    I've written a javascript which uses various GREP and text find/changes to copy some text from the first two paragraphs of a document and use them elsewhere (in the running head and footers) and now I want to delete the first two paragraphs. Not sure how I would do that. If I was doing a manual find/change (with nothing selected) it would automatically select the first para in the first text box but when I run teh following;
    app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "^.+$";
    app.changeGrepPreferences.changeTo="";
    app.activeDocument.changeGrep();
    it finds all paragraphs and deletes them. I was going to include the code twice; once to delete the first paragraph and then again to delete the other (new first) paragraph. My JS skills are shaky but I'm quite comfortable with GREP. Can anyone point me in the right direction for how I acheive what I want? If I did a for loop surely I'd just be doing the same thing but more than once!
    Much to my surprise the rest of the script is working although it made my brain hurt!
    thanks for any suggestions,
    Iain

    Oooh. After
    myStory=app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem();
    the variable "myStory" won't point to just a single story, but ... to "every story". So that's why the next line removes more than you intended!
    What the "everyItem" thingy internally does is still unclear to me, but that doesn't keep me from using it -- but only when you absolutely, positively want to perform an action on every item
    Now the usual examples say something like
    myStory = app.activeDocument.stories.item(0); // access first story
    but that's No Good. Even if your first story is the one you are targeting today, tomorrow, in a different document, it'll be story #1, or #5, or #255. There is no general rule that states the first story is always the largest one, or something like that.
    If this is going to be used with a document template, the best way to identify the target story is by giving the first text frame a unique label. Otherwise, you'll have to think of something else ... A couple of other strategies:
    1. You are already using GREP to find stuff. If one of those searches is guaranteed to return just text in the one story you are interested in, you can use this.
    2. You mention headers and footers. If your main text is the only one that runs through multiple text frames, you can loop over all stories and check which one runs through than a single text frame.
    3. ... (I'm pretty sure there are some more strategies ...)

  • Help with writing and retrieving data from a table field with type "LCHR"

    Hi Experts,
    I need help with writing and reading data from a database table field which has a type of "LCHR". I have given an example of the original code but don't know what to change it to in order to fix it and still read in the original data that's stored in the LCHR field.
    Basically we have two Function modules, one that saves list data to a database table and one that reads in this data. Both Function modules have an identicle table which has an array of fields from type INT4, CHAR, and type P. The INT4 field is the first one.
    Incidentally this worked in the 4.7 non-unicode system but is now dumping in the new ECC6 Unicode system.
    Thanks in advance,
    C
    SAVING THE LIST DATA TO DB

    Hi Anuj,
    The unicode flag is active.
    When I run our report and then to try and save the list data a dump is happening at the following point
    LOOP AT T_TAB into L_WA.
    As I say, T_TAB consists of different fields and field types whereas L_WA is CHAR 800. The dump mentions UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CONVERTIBLE
    When I try to load a saved list the dump is happening at the following point
    APPEND T_DATA-RAWDATA to T_TAB.
    T_DATA-RAWDATA is type LCHR and T_TAB consists of different fields and field types.
    In both examples the dumps mention UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CONVERTIBLE

  • Help with count and sum query

    Hi I am using oracle 10g. Trying to aggregate duplicate count records. I have so far:
    SELECT 'ST' LEDGER,
    CASE
    WHEN c.Category = 'E' THEN 'Headcount Exempt'
    ELSE 'Headcount Non-Exempt'
    END
    ACCOUNTS,
    CASE WHEN a.COMPANY = 'ZEE' THEN 'OH' ELSE 'NA' END MARKET,
    'MARCH_12' AS PERIOD,
    COUNT (a.empl_id) head_count
    FROM essbase.employee_pubinfo a
    LEFT OUTER JOIN MMS_DIST_COPY b
    ON a.cost_ctr = TRIM (b.bu)
    INNER JOIN MMS_GL_PAY_GROUPS c
    ON a.pay_group = c.group_code
    WHERE a.employee_status IN ('A', 'L', 'P', 'S')
    AND FISCAL_YEAR = '2012'
    AND FISCAL_MONTH = 'MARCH'
    GROUP BY a.company,
    b.district,
    a.cost_ctr,
    c.category,
    a.fiscal_month,
    a.fiscal_year;
    which gives me same rows with different head_counts. I am trying to combine the same rows as a total (one record). Do I use a subquery?

    Hi,
    Whenever you have a problem, please post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) from all tables involved.
    Also post the results you want from that data, and an explanation of how you get those results from that data, with specific examples.
    user610131 wrote:
    ... which gives me same rows with different head_counts.If they have different head_counts, then the rows are not the same.
    I am trying to combine the same rows as a total (one record). Do I use a subquery?Maybe. It's more likely that you need a different GROUP BY clause, since the GROUP BY clause determines how many rows of output there will be. I'll be able to say more after you post the sample data, results, and explanation.
    You may want both a sub-query and a different GROUP BY clause. For example:
    WITH    got_group_by_columns     AS
         SELECT  a.empl_id
         ,     CASE
                        WHEN  c.category = 'E'
                  THEN  'Headcount Exempt'
                        ELSE  'Headcount Non-Exempt'
                END          AS accounts
         ,       CASE
                        WHEN a.company = 'ZEE'
                        THEN 'OH'
                        ELSE 'NA'
                END          AS market
         FROM              essbase.employee_pubinfo a
         LEFT OUTER JOIN  mms_dist_copy             b  ON   a.cost_ctr     = TRIM (b.bu)
         INNER JOIN       mms_gl_pay_groups        c  ON   a.pay_group      = c.group_code
         WHERE     a.employee_status     IN ('A', 'L', 'P', 'S')
         AND        fiscal_year           = '2012'
         AND        fiscal_month          = 'MARCH'
    SELECT    'ST'               AS ledger
    ,       accounts
    ,       market
    ,       'MARCH_12'          AS period
    ,       COUNT (empl_id)       AS head_count
    FROM       got_group_by_columns
    GROUP BY  accounts
    ,            market
    ;But that's just a wild guess.
    You said you wanted "Help with count and sum". I see the COUNT, but what do you want with SUM? No doubt this will be clearer after you post the sample data and results.

  • Help with UCCX 8.5 scripting and xmls

    I have a customer with multiple scripts, we are moving them from 3.5 to 8.5 which is running on VMWare.  Here's my scenario:
    The caller can call the trigger 54779, enter a #, then a password of 12345.  Then they can set a normal condition by dialing 1, an after-hours condition by dialing 2, or an emergency condition by dialing 3.  I’m testing the “2” condition now. In the previous 3.5 system, if they dialed 2, the system copied the Doc “2.xml” and copied it to the Doc "Carolina_Access_Emergency_Check.xml", both of which are in the en_US folder in the Documents section.
    I can’t get this thing to change my document "Carolina_Access_Emergency_Check.xml". All I know is that it goes, “unsuccessful”. I’m pretty sure the authentication is working since it gets by that step.  If we can’t get the “copy” to work, really all I need to do with this option 2, is for the data in "Carolina_Access_Emergency_Check.xml" in <TYPE>1</TYPE> to change from a 1 to a 2." I'm attaching a zip with the old and new scripts along with the 2 xml files i'm referring to.  I need help on this one, please!

    Has the user you setup have Application Admin rights? I had this issue when I was trying to create an Emergency shutdown script and the user did not have sufficient rights.
    I don't mind sharing this script I created ,which effectively changes a value from 1 to a 2, which seems to be what you are trying to do but I can not figure out how to share it with you here. You could then use this as example to achieve what you are trying to do.

  • Oracle Startup/Shutdown with SQLPLUS and ORADIM in Windows...

    I am a newbie to the Windows platform. SQLPLUS will not allow me to issue a STARTUP command. This is what I get when I attempt to SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE and subsequently issue a STARTUP MOUNT/NOMOUNT or any STARTUP command for that matter. The SHUTDOWN command works successfully but the subsequent startup fails with an ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor message.

  • Can anyone help with iPlayer and Sky Mobile?

    Ok, I'm so close to giving up with this useless phone. There are 3 apps on my N97 which give me a constant headache.
    BBC iPlayer
    Sky Mobile*
    YouTube
    *I should point out that I only use Sky Mobile to set recordings on my Sky+. I do not use it for, nor have any desire to use it for actually watching Mobile TV.
    All of these apps work absolutely fine over my home WiFi network. It's when I try to use them over 3G (my Vodafone Live! connection) that I start running in to trouble.
    All 3 give me connection problems, errors, and simply refuse to load half the time when on 3G. I got so annoyed I just did a hard reset the other week, and magically all three started working again. However, now 2 of them are failing me again. YouTube (touch wood) is working fine at the moment, but iPlayer and Sky Mobile just aren't.
    iPlayer sometimes works. But sometimes I get script errors (unable to load content), and sometimes it says something about checking my connection settings. I wouldn't mind but it's not actually possible to access any options for the iPlayer. Even in application settings there are no options you're able to set.
    Sky Mobile simply flat out refuses to work ever on 3G. But it did after I did a hard reset for a couple of weeks, now it just stopped working! It wont even load. It just gives the error message 'Unable to connect to network - please check connection settings" or something along those lines.
    I've tried so many different things. Tried setting my internet connections to 'always ask', tried setting it to default to Vodafone Live! all the time, tried setting my video streaming settings to WAP, all sorts. Every combination I can think of.
    I just can't wait to get rid of this phone. I've put so many people off buying one. They see it and think it's all swish and cool, and I just say 'Don't. You'll regret it'. I can't wait for my contract to be up so I can upgrade to an iPhone now Vodafone have got them.
    Can anyone help with these problems? Thanks in advance, but I don't hold out much hope...

    About iPlayer.
    Have a chat with Vodaphone. Streaming iPlayer over 3G IS allowed on Vodaphone contract, unlike my O2 contract. As long as your contract allows it, and you have the correct AP address, it should be fine. Vodaphone should be able to give you the setting.
    Mine only works over Wlan.
    FWIW, "... streaming over 3G is not currently available on iPhone handsets on any mobile network".
    p.s. Just to be clear. You say  "Tried setting my internet connections to 'always ask', tried setting it to default to Vodafone Live!".
    iPlayer uses the Nokia browser "Web". So that's where you should make the setting "Ask when needed". It should then offer you the choice of whatever you've set in Destinations> Internet> then select whatever you've chosen as your GPRS connection.(as advised, or sent to you by Vodaphone).

  • Help with Applescript and Admin Privelages

    I just started using Applestript a few months ago and I can't figure out how to give my script Admin rights. Basically, it turns on and off my internet sharing and file sharing through dialog boxes. I copied and pasted the whole code below if you want to test it, but this is the part that is giving me trouble. There are 4 lines similar to this, the actions that turn on or off the services.
    do shell script "/bin/launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.InternetSharing.plist" with administrator privileges
    I've tried adding "with password _____" and "password_____" but neither worked. Can anyone help me make this script authenticate itself so I don't need to keep typine in my password? I could easily make a keystroke in system events to type it in but it doesn't always ask for it so I don't know how I'd make the script know when it needs to enter the password. any help is much appreciated!
    Some things to clarify: The first shell script is there to invoke the "authentication" dialog so I can sign in once I launch the app and get right into the settings. However, I'd like to make it so the script doesn't even need admin permission to run, or make it somehow have my password built in to it. Security is not an issue, its my personal computer that nobody else has access to so I really don't care if my password is written in the code. Also, if you have any tips on how to streamline the Quit/Hide/Resume dialog I'd appreciate that too. Resume is there because there's a chance I won't have to sign in again if the app does not quit, however more often than not I have to sign in anyways. Thanks again in advance, sorry this post is so long but like I said, I'm pretty new to all this so I don't know exactly what you need to be able to help me.
    The Whole Script:
    -- Variables and Authentication
    set done to "n"
    set quitapp to "no"
    display dialog "Please enter your password to allow Sharing Manager to make changes to your settings." with icon caution
    do shell script "/bin/launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.AppleFileServer.plist" with administrator privileges
    delay 0.2
    -- Repeats
    repeat while quitapp is "no"

                        set quitapp to "no"
              end if
    end repeat

    with respect to general improvements, a couple of points:
    If I'm reading this script correctly, it looks like you're putting up an applescript alert and leaving it hanging until it's dismissed.  This is an atypical approach (applescripts aren't really meant to hang around indefinitely waiting for a respons).  If I were doing this I would either go whole-hog and create an applescript application in XCode with a proper interface, or remove the hanging dialog and create a set of toggle scripts that I could use from the script menu.  if you really want to keep the hanging dialog, though, you can streamline it by absorbing the secondary dialogs into the main dialog.  that's like so:
    set netSharingStatus to checkService("com.apple.InternetSharing")
    set fileSharingStatus to checkService("com.apple.AppleFileServer")
    display alert "Current Settings" message "Click to change settings" buttons {"Internet " & netSharingStatus, "File Sharing " & fileSharingStatus, "Exit"} default button 3
    -- choose next action based on the button clicked and the status vairable
    on checkService(service)
              do shell script "launchctl list"
              if the result contains service then
                        return "On"
              else
                        return "Off"
              end if
    end checkService
    using handlers like the above can also streamline the rest of your script.  the following construction means you only have to write the do shell script line once, rather than the four times you currently do, and makes for much cleaner reading.
    if the button_pressed starts with "Internet" then
              toggleService("com.apple.InternetSharing", netSharingStatus)
    else if the button_pressed starts with "File Sharing" then
              toggleService("com.apple.AppleFileServer", fileSharingStatus)
    else
      --exit routine
    end if
    on toggleService(service, currentState)
              if currentState in "On" then
                        set action to "unload"
              else
                        set action to "load"
              end if
              set command to "/bin/launchctl " & action & " -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/" & service & ".plist"
              do shell script command user name "adminusername" password "password" with administrator privileges
    end toggleService

  • Error with dbms_scheduler and shell script execution

    Hi,guys.
    I have an issue with a dbms_scheduler and a shell script execution. So, the shell script as it self works fine, when i'm executing ./test.sh all process is running, but when i'm executing the script from dbms_scheduler it just simply doesn't work. Actually it works, but some of executable information in sh doesn't work, seems it just jump over of the part of the script.

      auto_drop => FALSE,
      comments => 'FLASH RECOVERY USAGE AREA backup and delete'
      END;
      /And this job execution:
           begin
               DBMS_SCHEDULER.run_job (job_name =>'FLASH_RECOVERY',use_current_session => TRUE);
           end;What can be wrong? For me, I think it's something with permisions.
    I hope you got my idea and could help me.

    There is no error, i just receive all the time e-mail, seems it jumps over rman. I tried almost everything and still couldn't get result as i want. And, if i'm running script from command line - it works. Rman calls, and starts to recover archivelogs.

  • Need Urgent Help with Apache and PHP

    I have been struggling with apache and php for a week now and I finally broke down to post a message.
    I have apache 1.3 running on my mac mini g4 with 10.4.9 and I installed sql. I went to the entropy website and downloaded php5 to install without knowing I already had php4 on the machine. I installed 5 but could not get it to work. I then went back to httpd.conf and tried to install php4 by uncommenting out the loadmodule and addmodule lines. I restarted apache but php still did not work. I tested the phpinfo.php script but all I got was the script in Safari and not the actual page. At the moment, I have php4 and php5 on my machine but can't get either one to work. I am sure there is an easy fix but I don't know it. Please help.

    The problem is not terribly complicated, but Apache will not start with the entropy file in the folder
    /etc/httpd/users/
    Let me experiment on you. Rename the entropy file and then try to start Apache. To do this, open Terminal and paste this command:
    <pre>sudo mv /etc/httpd/users/+entropy.conf /etc/httpd/users/+entropy<pre>
    Now check the Apache configuration:
    <pre>apachectl configtest<pre>
    If it says "Syntax OK", start Apache:
    <pre>sudo apachectl start<pre>
    Since we only disabled the entropy file, you should be able to enable PHP5 with some more advanced configuring.

  • Please Please help with JavaScript and Actions

    Hello!
    Is there a way to perform a saved Action from the Action Pallette using a JavaScript script? I know there is a way to do it with Visual Basic.
    Is there a way to run a Visual Basic script from a JavaScript script?(which could be a potential workaround if JavaScript CANNOT call on an Action)
    Is there a way to call on a JavaScript from an Action?
    Here's specific information on my problem:
    I am using Illustrator CS2 on a PC
    I have written all of the JavaScript scripts that I need to perform various layer selection procedures and they all work perfectly. I have placed them in the Presets > Scripts folder so that they appear in my file menu.
    I wrote a very long action that called on these scripts (using Insert Menu Item > then selecting the script by going File > Scripts) sequentially and did some selecting and copy-pasting and applying graphic styles in between scripts. The Action worked PERFECTLY and ran all the scripts I needed to an automated a process that usually takes me an hour in less than five minutes!
    I saved the actions and saved the file.
    After closing Illustrator all of the lines of the action that called on scripts disappeared! It seems this is a known bug...I currently know of no workaround.
    Can anyone help with any of the following things:
    1. Getting actions to SAVE the commands to run javascripts
    2. Writing a JavaScript that runs an Illustrator Action
    3. Writing a JavaScript that runs a Visual Basic script that runs an Illustrator Action.
    I spent three days learning the basics of JavaScript (mostly by trial and error) and successfully wrote all the scripts I needed...I was overjoyed! But now that I've closed illustrator my actions to run said scripts do not work. PLEASE ADVISE!!!
    Thanks in advance,
    Matthew

    try next
    1)if possible split JS-code into 2 parts (before/after action)
    2)make vbs script with contents
    Set appRef = CreateObject("Illustrator.Application.3")
    appRef.DoJavaScriptFile("C:\my1.js")
    appRef.DoScript(Action As String, From As String)
    'add wait while ActionIsRunning
    appRef.DoJavaScriptFile("C:\my2.js")
    3) run vbs (File > Scripts or double-click).

  • Help with treemap and other stuff

    hi guys..
    i m new to this forum..
    and this is my first post....so if i act a little naive .....please bare with me.
    and if this is not the correct place to post ..i m sorry for that.
    i have an assignment to submit....i m getting the whole picture ....but not sure how to go about implementing it.
    here it is...
    Write an Object Oriented solution to the problem in Java. The solution is to consist of:
    A TableIndex class
    A TableNavigator Interface
    A data row class ....class that i have to create.
    An application class to use and test your TableIndex class
    The following UML class diagrams show the public methods of the classes. Other methods may be specified. Specify data members, inner classes and interfaces as appropriate.
    TableIndex Class
    The TableIndex class is an index to a collection of objects. The class is to approximate an index to a data table in memory that consists of a number of rows. To control access to the index a current row is defined that specifies the row that can be accessed. To retrieve a row from the index it must be the current row. The get() method is the only method in TableIndex class that retrieves a row from the index. The current row can be changed explicitly using the methods: previous(), next(), first(), last(), gotoBookmark and find(K); and implicitly using insert(K, V), modify(K, V) and remove().
    The TableIndex class is to be implemented using the java API's TreeMap class and must use Generics. The data types K and V below are generic types for the Key and Value (row) respectively. An important aspect of the assignment is using the Java API documentation to understand the TreeMap class.
    guys ....can u plz help with the starting bit ..
    what should be the opening statement of the class...
    public class TableIndex<K , V> .....????
    and what should be the treemap declaration..??
    TreeMap<K , V> indexTable = new TreeMap<K , V>();...???
    i m confused....
    can u plz explain to me..

    hi mate.....didnt quite get you..
    can u plz be a bit more simple in explanation..!!!
    i will post the whole question ..so that anyone reading will understand better....
    Problem Description
    You are to develop an index class and associated classes.
    Requirements
    Write an Object Oriented solution to the problem in Java. The solution is to consist of:
    A TableIndex class
    A TableNavigator Interface
    A data row class
    An application class to use and test your TableIndex class
    The following UML class diagrams show the public methods of the classes. Other methods may be specified. Specify data members, inner classes and interfaces as appropriate.
    TableIndex Class
    The TableIndex class is an index to a collection of objects. The class is to approximate an index to a data table in memory that consists of a number of rows. To control access to the index a current row is defined that specifies the row that can be accessed. To retrieve a row from the index it must be the current row. The get() method is the only method in TableIndex class that retrieves a row from the index. The current row can be changed explicitly using the methods: previous(), next(), first(), last(), gotoBookmark and find(K); and implicitly using insert(K, V), modify(K, V) and remove().
    The TableIndex class is to be implemented using the java API's TreeMap class and must use Generics. The data types K and V below are generic types for the Key and Value (row) respectively. An important aspect of the assignment is using the Java API documentation to understand the TreeMap class.
    TableIndex
    +TableIndex()
    +TableIndex(name: String, comp: Comparator)
    +getName(): String
    +isEmpty(): Boolean
    +size(): Integer
    +hasPrevious(): Boolean
    +hasNext(): Boolean
    +previous()
    +next()
    +first()
    +last()
    +setBookmark(): Boolean
    +clearBookmark()
    +gotoBookmark(): Boolean
    +contains(key: K): Boolean
    +find(key: K): Boolean
    +get(): V
    +insert(key:K, value: V): Boolean
    +modify(value: V): Boolean
    +modify(key: K, value: V): Boolean
    +remove(): V
    +iterator(): Iterator
    +equals(obj2: Object): Boolean
    +toString(): String
    Additional Notes:
    The table index has an order defined by the compareTo method of the key's class or by the compare method specified in the class that implements the Comparator interface.
    getName(): the name of the index, blank by default.
    isEmpty(): returns true if there aren't any rows in the table index
    size(): returns the number of rows in the table index
    hasPrevious(): returns true if there is a row before the current row.
    hasNext(): returns true if there is a row after the current row in sequence.
    previous(): if there is a row before the current row, move to the row and make it the new current row.
    next() if there is a row after the current row, move to the row and make it the new current row.
    first(): if the table isn't empty, move to the first row and make it the new current row.
    last(): if the table isn't empty, move to the last row and make it the new current row.
    setBookmark(): sets a bookmark at the current row. If the bookmark is successfully set the method returns true. The bookmark is cleared if the TableIndex is empty or the row the bookmark was set on is deleted..
    clearBookmark(): sets the bookmark to null, indicating there isn't a bookmark.
    gotoBookmark(): if a bookmark has been set, go to the bookmarked row. If successful the book marked row becomes the current row and the method returns true.
    contains(K): return true if a row with the key specified exists.
    find(K): if a row is found with the specified key, the current row is set to the row found.
    get(): returns the current row. Null is returned if there isn't a current row.
    insert(K, V): inserts a row (value) with the key specified. The key must not be null and must be unique (not already in the TableIndex). The row (value) must not be null. If the row is successfully inserted true is returned, and the row becomes the current row..
    modify(V): change the current row's data to the row (value) specified. The key and the current row key are to remain the same. If successful true is returned.
    modify(K, V): change the current row's key and data to the key and row (value) specified. If successful the changed row becomes the new current row. If successful true is returned. Note: this is more difficult than modify(V).
    remove(): remove the current row. When a row is deleted the next row (if available) becomes the current row, otherwise if there isn't a next row the previous row becomes the current row, otherwise the table is empty therefore the current row is null.
    iterator(): returns an iterator to the rows (values) in the index. The rows are to be retrieved in order. The remove method does not need to be implemented (its method body can be empty)..
    the equals method uses the name, and the rows (values) in order when testing for equality.
    the toString method should return appropriately formatted data members and the rows (values/data) in the index.
    TableNavigator Interface
    «interface»
    TableNavigator
    +isEmpty(): Boolean
    +hasPrevious(): Boolean
    +hasNext(): Boolean
    +previous()
    +next()
    +first()
    +last()
    +contains(key: K): Boolean
    +find(key: K): Boolean
    Additional Notes:
    The TableIndex class implements the TableNavigator Interface.
    The purpose of the above methods is outlined in the TableIndex class.
    Your Data Row Class
    You are to include a class of your own to represent a row of data in the TableIndex. This is not to be a class that was covered in other programming subjects. It does not need to be complex but must include a range of data types. This class will be used to test your TableIndex class. The class should have an appropriate name and deal with something of interest to you.
    Your Application Class
    The application class is to make use of the TableIndex class and your data row class. It is to clearly show how the TableIndex class is used, and in doing so, test it. The class should have an appropriate name. The application class should create two indexes of different key data types. One of the indexes must make use of the Comparator interface to have a key that is in descending order.
    Output
    Output in the test classes/programs is to go to standard out or a text file. There should be no output from the TableIndex class or your data row class. A GUI interface is NOT required. There is no need to input data from the keyboard or file. Use the Unix script command or write output to a text file (etc) to provide example runs of your test programs.
