How to find out the size of a file?

Hi,
I would like to determine the size of a file from my code. How is that possible? I do not find any appropriate method in the java.io.File class.
Any help would be very appreciated!

java.io.File.length()
Returns the size of the file as a long. The number corresponds to the number of bytes in the file.

  • How to find out the size of files transferred over the SQL * Net?

    I am trying to test the Advanced Compress (AC) for 11g Data Guard. When the AC is turned on, the archived log files are supposed to be compressed on the primary database server and sent over SQL*Net, then decompressed on the standby db server. We will see the file sizes are the same on both primary and standby servers. I want to verify that the AC works by monitoring how much data are sent over SQL*Net. Per Oracle, AC uses 35% less of the bandwith. That means the size of the files transferred should be at least 65% of the original size.
    Is there a way to find out the size through Oracle utilities? If not, how to find out by OS utilities? OS is Solaris 5.10.
    Thanks.

    I'm not sure this can be done via SQL*Net, but a network packet sniffer between the two servers should be able to help - you might want to contact your network team.

  • Urgent: How to find out the size in bytes of java object

    Hi Experts,
    We've a requirement that we need to find out the size of a java object at run time, is there a direct java API to get the size of a composite object in memory?
    Here is my requirement: We are adding string objects (which is an xml string of considerable size) into a List. After reaching certain size limit (lets say 5MB) of the list i need to put this data into DB as a CLOB. So every time I add a string object to the list, I need to see if the total size of the list exceeds the limit and if yes, flush the results into DB.
    I am not sure if java has a direct API for this, if not what is the beast way to do it, it s critical requirement for us.
    It would be really great if someone could help us out.
    Thank you,
    -Shibu.

    Could you explain your actual requirement a little more fully.
    1. Is each individual string a separate XML string? Or is it just a fragment? Why would you just concatenate them together into a CLOB? That won't produce valid XML and it won't let you easily separate the pieces again later. So provide a simple example showing some strings and how you need to manipulate them.
    2. Are you using these xml strings in Java at all? Or are you just loading them into the database?
    For example if you are just loading them into the database you don't need to create a list. Just create a CLOB in Java and append each string to the CLOB. Before you append each one you can check to see if the new string will put you over your length limit. If it will then you write the CLOB to the database, empty the CLOB and start appending again to the new clob instance.
    If you explain what you are really trying to do we might be able to suggest some better ways to do it.

  • 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

  • How to find out the format of a file?

    Is there any way to find out the format of a file?
    By format I mean binary, text, .doc, .rtf, etc. Please kindly help

    The unix file command:
    file *
    foo.doc ms-office file / word
    bar.png png image, 32x32 pixels, no transparency
    moo.hhml html text
    note that as in the last - file names are ignored, it works by checking the beginning of each file's data against it's database, and as in #2 it can sometimes see a lot more than just the file format.
    Don't know of a windows port, you could try cygwin

  • How do I find out the size of a file, trying to make a DVD and told the fil

    Made a slide show project with music and trying to write to dvd. Computer tells me the file is to large and to use a dual sided disk. I cut may slides out but no luck. How do you find out the file size?

    Hi
    And SlideShows has a limit of 99 slides per show.
    I rather assemble mine in iMovie HD 6 where as QuickTimeKirk states
    it only has Time as a limit dep. on encoding method selected and if Single or Double layer DVDs
    Single Layer (for DL double time) - TIME includes menu - keeping it simple gives more to movie.
    (I prefere "Brushed Metal" no audio, no animation.)
    • Professional Quality (movies up to 120 min.) - BEST
    • Best Performances (movies less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD
    • High Quality (in iDVD08) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) (movies up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above

  • How to find out the Size of a TV Season before purchasing from itunes

    I am wanting to purchase the Downton Abbey Season on itunes, but my ipad says there is not enough space, is there away I can view the size of the download before I purchase it?
    Thank you

    There's no official way of doing it, unlike with Movies where the download size is under the title. However a rough guide seems to be allow around up to 34MB per min for HD and maybe up to 15MB per min for SD. So, using Downton Abbey Season 1, this would mean the total download would be about 12.9GB in HD and about 5.3GB in SD. Season 2 will be a bigger download still since each episode is longer plus there's an extra episode. Season 2 would probably be around 15.4GB in HD and 6.3GB in SD.
    Hope this helps a little.

  • How to find out the status of a file in java

    Hi
    I have an application that writes xml files anytime it is invoked. I am writing all unique files to a windows directory.
    i also have an ftp client working on that directory that scans all the files and sends them to the server every few minutes.
    I want to find a way using which all the files except the one that is being currently written by the application are transferred.
    Is there a way to find out in java as to what file is being written to by the operating system at that point of time ? I have looked around for quite a long time and have not been able to find a solution to this problem.
    Any help will be deeply appreciated.

    out = new FileOutputStream(matcher.group(1)+".open" , true);
                          FileChannel ch = out.getChannel();
                                       FileLock lock =  ch.lock(0L, Long.MAX_VALUE, false);
                                   // Connect print stream to the output stream          
                                       p = new PrintStream( out );
                            p.println ("\n" + parms.getProperty( value ) + "\n");
                                  p.flush();
                            p.close();
                                  lock.release();Ok, I tried implementing locks but I dont know why it is not working...An exception is thrown and nothing is wriiten to the file. I have employed a complete lock on the file so that no other JVM application can use it.
    Actually this is a server that grabs data sent from an Iframe and writes it down to a temp file. I open a file input stream, lock it and then use a printwriter strream to write the realyed data to the file. Any inputs as to what is wrong with the code snippet above?????

  • How to find out the encoding of a file

    How to findout the encoding of a file being read?

    It depends on the file.
    Sometimes it is possible by analysing the file contents. Other times you have to know a priori.

  • How to find out the size of a node before it is shown?

    Hi,
    I am trying to anchor two nodes (say A & B) to the top of an anchor pane such that B is laid out below A. To accomplish this, I need to provide an anchor offset for the control B, which has to be height of the node A. However, as the containing Stage has not been shown yet, the A's node getWidth() method returns 0 (zero). Since, node A's size is computed based on its contents, I can't hardcode its size. So, I am at a loss how to provide the height of the node A in a dynamic manner.
    Please feel free to ask me to clarify the question if I didn't make myself clear enough.
    Thanks.

    If one of the existing layouts doesn't work for you, then you can create your own. A little bit harder to do, but this would be your best bet since there is no trickery involved. Basically, all you have to do is override the layoutChildren() and the computePrefXXX (and, perhaps computeMinXXX) methods from Parent.
    Here is any overly simplified example that lays out three circles like a traffic light:
        @Override
        public void start(final Stage stage) {
            Parent parent = new Parent() {
                    getChildren().addAll(
                        CircleBuilder.create().fill(Color.RED).radius(20).build(),
                        CircleBuilder.create().fill(Color.YELLOW).radius(20).build(),
                        CircleBuilder.create().fill(Color.GREEN).radius(20).build()
                @Override protected void layoutChildren() {
                    double dx = 0;
                    double dy = 0;
                    for(int n=0, nMax=getChildren().size(); n<nMax; n++) {
                        Node child = getChildren().get(n);                   
                        double prefHeight = child.prefHeight(-1);
                        dy = prefHeight * n + prefHeight / 2;
                        child.setLayoutY(dy);
                        dx = child.prefWidth(-1) / 2;
                        child.setLayoutX(dx);
                @Override
                protected double computePrefHeight(double width) {
                    double prefHeight = 0;
                    for(Node child : getChildren()) {
                        prefHeight += child.prefHeight(width);
                    return prefHeight;
                @Override
                protected double computePrefWidth(double height) {
                    return getChildren().get(0).prefWidth(height);
            Scene scene = new Scene(parent);
            stage.setScene(scene);
            stage.show();
        }

    Regards
    mohan create a small rollback segment to start with, with small initial and next extent sizes and maxextents unlimited.
    assign this rollback segment to the test session and run the particular transaction.
    query the view v$rollstat to see how much the rollback segment has extended.
    this is roughly your transaction size. this may not accurate but its give you
    a general idea of how much data is generated.
