How to practise on the examples used in SQL Expert book

I need to study for the oracle sql expert exam and I am using the book SQL Expert exam guide by Steve O' Hearn.
Can someone please suggest how to practise on the examples of this book ?

Good morning,
IMHO, I would have suggested that one build the schemas and tables they need from scratch. If one is to be an Oracle Certified Expert in SQL, one should be able to do perform those tasks quickly and accurately. I realize that in larger shops, those tasks might be/are deligated to the DBA team, but having worked in both small and large shops, I believe that being an "expert" should include more than the ability to copy source code and run somoene else's sql scripts.
Thanks,
Don.
Edited by: dfcii on Jan 9, 2012 6:57 AMI think both viewpoints are valid.
- In some ways one does not want to spend time dealing with books misprints and typos when really to be able to do the SQL expert exam one should be on top of anyway.
- In other sense getting ones one test data togther is useful.
..... I possibly remember badly .... but i seem to miss where the scripts mysef (at least initially) and spent some wasted time pumping in a fair bit of data for the earlier examples.

How to display all the surveys using content query web part

Can you please tell me how to display all the surveys using content query web part in more details? I also created a subsite and multiple surveys in that site. Then, I inserted a Content Query Web Part and select the List Type to be "Survey",
however, it returned nothing. Did I miss anything?

Hi,
OOTB Survey List does not contain any
Content Types and it has the following structure:
Response entry is represented by
List Item
Response entry consist of questions and answers, where Question correspond to
Field and Answer to Item value respectively.
For querying Survey List via CQWP the following properties could be used
BaseType
<Lists BaseType="4">
ServerTemplate
<Lists ServerTemplate="102">
Example
To retrieve all the responses from Survey lists, specify List Type property as shown on picture

This information is not available. If you have any misgivings, change your password at http://appleid.apple.com - it should be at least 8 characters - 12 would be better - of which one must be a capital letter and one a numeral. No punctuations signs, and no real words.

How can I Improve the Performance using Global Temo Tables ??

Hi,
Can anyone tell me , How can i make use of Global Temporary Tables to improve the Performance.
I have few sample scripts ,
Say i have the View based on some Complex query like ,
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW Profile_values_view AS
SELECT d.Profile_option_name, d.Profile_option_id, Profile_option_value,
u.User_name, Level_id, Level_code
FROM Profile_definitions d, Profile_values v, Profile_users u
WHERE d.Profile_option_id = v.Profile_option_id
AND ((Level_code = 'USER' AND Level_id = U.User_id) OR
(Level_code = 'DEPARTMENT' AND Level_id = U.Department_id) OR
(Level_code = 'SITE'))
AND NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM PROFILE_VALUES P
WHERE P.PROFILE_OPTION_ID = V.PROFILE_OPTION_ID
AND ((Level_code = 'USER' AND
level_id = u.User_id) OR
(Level_code = 'DEPARTMENT' AND
level_id = u.Department_id) OR
(Level_code = 'SITE'))
AND INSTR('USERDEPARTMENTSITE', v.Level_code) >
INSTR('USERDEPARTMENTSITE', p.Level_code));
Now i have created the Global temp Table as ,
CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE Profile_values_temp
Profile_option_name VARCHAR(60) NOT NULL,
Profile_option_id NUMBER(4) NOT NULL,
Profile_option_value VARCHAR2(20) NOT NULL,
Level_code VARCHAR2(10) ,
Level_id NUMBER(4) ,
CONSTRAINT Profile_values_temp_pk
PRIMARY KEY (Profile_option_id)
) ON COMMIT PRESERVE ROWS ORGANIZATION INDEX;
Now I am Inserting the Records into Temp table as
INSERT INTO Profile_values_temp
(Profile_option_name, Profile_option_id, Profile_option_value,
Level_code, Level_id)
SELECT Profile_option_name, Profile_option_id, Profile_option_value,
Level_code, Level_id
FROM Profile_values_view;
COMMIT;
Now what my doubt is, when do i need to execute the Insert Statement.
Say , if the View returns few millions of records , then loading such a data into Global Temporary table takes lot of time.
Then what is the use of Global Temporary tables and how can i improve the Performance using the same.
Raj

Thanks for the responce ,
There are 2 to 3 complex views in our database, and there always be more than 5000+ users will be workinf on the application and is OLTP application. Those complex views are killing the application performance.
I what i felt was, if i create the Global Temporary tables for thow views and will be able to load the one third million of records returned by the views in to cache and can improve the application performance.
I have created the Global Temporary tables for 2 views with the option On Commit Preserve , But after am inserting the records into the Temp table and when i Issue the commit statement, the Temp table is getting Cleared.
I really got surpised of this behaviour as i know that with the Option On Commit Preserve , the rows should retain in the Temp Table, Instead , it's getting cleared.
Pelase suggest , what to do ??

How can I change the value used in a Criteria Rule in a Subscription agent

Dear mobile heroes.... How can I change the value used in a Criteria Rule in a Subscription agent in a quality environment? (CRM 70 SP04).
I have built a subscription agent in dev, which uses a static where clause to filter activity_object on VKORG. I need to filter on a different VKORG value in the quality environment, but when I change the value of the sales org, the change is not saved. I have tried this even non 'activated' subscription agents, but it still does not appear possible to change and save the changes.
This poses a big problem because the VKORG value I want to use does not even exist in the dev environment, so I could not even rebuild in dev and transport the new agent to quality. Can anyone help me?

Too old to care now.

How do I change the image used on an movie project icon? iMovie seems to select an image at random from the images I imported.

How do I change the image used on an movie project icon?
iMovie seems to select an image at random from the images I imported.

Not sure I understand how to use what you have posted. Here's what my init() looks like:
public void init()
setLayout(new BorderLayout());
p=new Panel();
p.setLayout(new GridLayout(1,1));
callnowButtonURL = getURL(callnowButtonFilename);
if (callnowButtonURL != null)
callIcon = new ImageIcon(callnowButtonURL,"call");
endcallButtonURL = getURL(endcallButtonFilename);
if (endcallButtonURL != null)
endIcon = new ImageIcon(endcallButtonURL);
b=new JButton(callIcon);
b.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(0,0,0,0));
b.setBorderPainted(false);
b.addActionListener(this);
p.add(b);
add(p,"Center");
Now the ActionListener is basically:
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
if (mybool == false)
<Perform actions here set mybool to true>
Change JButton b to use EndIcon
else
<Perform actions here set mybool to false>
Change JButton b to use CallIcon
Can you clarify how to perform the action I require? You can have a couple of Dukes if you can help me sort this out.

Hmm well why you just can't rename the table on the target db with the rename table to command and then do the import, will be easy right?

I already own iWork, and do not want to have to pay for it again, How do I get the installer using my existing licence. It will not migrate from one computer to another, perhaps because of the recent system upgrade.

How did you pay for it?

If you just need a copy of the software, then download the trial copy of Lr available from Adobe. On entering your serial number it will then become a full copy.

How can we capitalize the PR/PO, which are already booked in cost center?

We are creating a capital Project for our department. We have the structures ready and finalized with the budgets. But, the department has already done some commitments and expenditures in their cost center .Now, this expenditure and commitment values needs to be reflected in the report, so that correct values of assigned and available should be updated.
1) Pls. suggest a process using which we can transfer this amount. Is this to be done by an FI entry or else we need to commit using sanction request?
2) How can we capitalize the PR/PO, which are already booked in cost center?

Hi,
As we know the Contract is an Outline agreement for Quantity or Value for a particular Period with vendor.
Without mentioning Plant also we can make contract for the Purchase organisation level for particular Material for the entire period
Where as while creating PR -it is an Indent for the material requiement for the specific Plant so when you refer Agreement inthe PR creation time System will ask you how much quantity to what plant you want to place indent. where as In PO it ia an legal document so when you refer Agreement it will take all the details from Contract
i think you are clear with my points
With regrads
