How to select textFrames with tracking different to 0 (zero)?

How to select textFrames with tracking different to zero (greater or smaller than zero)?
Thanks.

Hi All,
Thanks for your help. The orignal clips are from Sony PMW F3 camera and I have got Dimensions: 1920 × 1080, Codecs: MPEG-2 Video, Linear PCM, Timecode, Color profile: HD (1-1-1), Total bit rate: 36,623.
The other camera has given me .MTS files which I have converted in MPEG-2 also. I used Wondershare Video Converter to convert second cameras clip.
I don't think the clips are matching with first camera's clips because still that is saying the same thing.

How does select stmt with for all entries uses Indexes

Hello all,
I goes through a number of documents but still confused how does select for all entries uses indexes if fields are not in sequences. i got pretty much the same results if i take like two cases on Hr tables HRP1000 and HRP1001(with for all entries based upon hrp1000). Here is the sequence of index fields on hrp1001 (MANDT, OTYPE, OBJID, PLVAR, RSIGN, RELAT, ISTAT, PRIOX, BEGDA, ENDDA, VARYF, SEQNR). in second case objid field is in sequence as in defined Index but i dont see significant increase in field even though the number of records are around 30000. My question is does it make a differrence to use field sequence (same as in table indexes) in comparison to redundant field sequence (not same as defined in table indexes), secondly how we can ge tto know if table index is used in Select for entries query i tried Explain in ST05 but its not clear if it uses any index at all in hrp1001 read.
here is the sample code i use to get test results.

Thank you for your answer, its very helpful but i am still nor sure how does parameter rsdb/max_blocking_factor affect records size.
Hi,
The blocking affects the size of the statement and the memory structures for returning the result.
So if your itab has 500 rows and your blocking is 5, the very same statement will be executed 100 times.
Nothing good or bad about this so far.
Assume, your average result for an inlist 5 statement is 25 records with an average size of 109 bytes.
You average result size will be 2725 byte plus overhead which will nearly perfectly fit into two 1500 byte ethernet frames.
Nothing to do in this case.
Assume your average result for an inlist 5 statement is 7 records with an average size of 67 bytes.
You average result size will be ~ 470 byte plus overhead which will only fill 1/3 of a 1500 byte ethernet frame.
In this case, setting the blocking to 12 ... 15 will give you 66% network transfer performance gain,
and reduces the number of calls to the DB by 50%, giving additional benefit.
Now this is an extreme example. The longer the average row length is, the lower will be the average loss in the network.
You have the same effects in memory structures, but on that layer you are fighting single micro seconds instead of
hundreds of these, so in real life it is rarely measurable.
Depending on table-statistics, oracle might decide for short inlists to use a concatanation instead of an inlist.
This is supposed to be more costy, but I never had a case where I could proove a big difference.
Values from 5 to 15 for blocking seem to be ok for me. If you have special statements in customer coding,
it #might# be benefitial to do the mentioned calculations and do some network tracing to see if you can squeeze your
network efficiency by tuning the blocking.
If you have jumbo frames enabled, it might be worth to be analyzed as well.
If you are only on a DB-CI system that is loopback connected to the DB, I doubt there might be a big outcome.
Hope this helps

How to select paths with the same stroke width

I would like to know how to select all the paths inside a document whose stroke width are equal to 0.361 points
I will appreciate any help.

here you go
#target illustrator
// script.name = selectPathsThisSize.jsx;
// script.description = selects pathItems that have the same supplied stroke width; limited to 3 decimals;
// script.required = a document with at least one path item;
// script.parent = CarlosCanto // 6/5/11;
// script.elegant = false;
var idoc = app.activeDocument;
var strokewidth = prompt ("Enter Stroke Width in points of paths to be selected", 0.361, "Select Paths this size:___");
for (i=0 ; i< idoc.pathItems.length; i++)
          var ipath = idoc.pathItems[i];
               if ( (ipath.strokeWidth).toFixed(3) == Number(strokewidth).toFixed(3))
                         ipath.selected = true;

How to style type with varying character baseline heights

I need to find a fast way of styling type with varying character baseline heights? I want to give the impression of jiggly type with each character having a different baseline shift. Any suggestions on a script that might help me?
each character of the sentence will have a different baseline shift value.
the baseline shifts are a repeating sequence of the following values:
2, -1, 1, 2,3,-1, 0,-2,-1,0
Is there a script I could use or modify to help me with this?
At present I have to modify each individual character which is very time consuming
Thanks

Dave, thanks for your response, i think the tpye needing styling would be selected first.
The type needed to be styled is a single paragraph at the most.
So you think a bunch of individual character styles grouped into a nested style as part of a paragraph style could work?
I shall investigate nested styles
Thanks for your help and suggestions much appreciated

How to select rows with min value on a specific column

I have a query:
select
m.x1,
round (to_date (l.y1, 'mm/dd/yyyy HH:MI:SS AM') - m.x2, 0) as numofdays
from
table1 m,
table2 l
where
l.x3 = m.x3 and
to_date (l.y1, 'mm/dd/yyyy HH:MI:SS AM') >= TO_DATE('01012013','MMDDYYYY') and
and I got this result table:
x1 (ID)
numofdays
001
5
001
10
002
2
003
3
003
1
004
0
005
66
several ID's have multiple values on the second column, I want to have only distinct IDs with smallest "numofdays" like this:
x1 (ID)
numofdays
001
5
002
2
003
1
004
0
005
66
Any ideas?

Hi,
The most general and versatile way is a Top-N Query:
WITH   got_r_num AS
    select
            m.x1,
            round (to_date (l.y1, 'mm/dd/yyyy HH:MI:SS AM') - m.x2, 0) as numofdays
    ,       ROW_NUMBER () OVER ( PARTITION BY m.x1
                                 ORDER BY      to_date (l.y1, 'mm/dd/yyyy HH:MI:SS AM') - m.x2
                               ) AS r_num
    from
          table1 m,
          table2 l
    where
          l.x3 = m.x3 and
          to_date (l.y1, 'mm/dd/yyyy HH:MI:SS AM') >= TO_DATE('01012013','MMDDYYYY') and
SELECT x1, numofdays
FROM    got_r_num
WHERE   r_num   = 1
If you'd care to post CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for your sample data, then I could test it.
Notice that the sub-query (got_r_num) is exactly what you posted, only with a new column (r_num) added to the SELECT clause.

Smart Collection: How to select files with unassigned/unknown/null metadata?

Is there an easy way to set up a Smart Collection to show all files with unassigned/null data in a specific metadata field?
Example: Smart Collection to show all files where IPTC "City" is unassigned (null/ blank)
I currently have a mickey mouse way of doing it that works, by selecting files NOT containing a,b,c,d,e,f,..... in the chosen metadata field, but can't beleve a more elegant (built-in) solution doesn't exist for unassigned/null values
thks!

"I will release a new plugin, Any Filter, in a day or two, that, among many other things, will allow you to search for fields with no values."
that sounds great, thanks, John!
i know nothing about the LR internal code, but would imagine that having to check each field's text string against 36 separate conditions (a-z, 0-9) as i'm currently having to do is not nearly as efficient performance wise as just testing against a single null flag or indicator - especially in large catalogs (i have about 120,000 files in mine)

How to show rows with specified keys only in Jtable in 11G.

Hi,
I am using a Table in 11G Release 1. In this table there is a column called flag. Flag can be set to 1 or 0. Suppose I have 25 rows and Flag is set to 1 in 5 rows. On click
of a button I have to show only those 5 rows where the flag is set to 1.I have to do this even if the data is not committed.table is bind to VO. I am able to access the keys for the flagged rows. So Please provide with any solution.

Hi Mansoor,
Try this:
- Write a method in AMImpl to filter the view object records based on the flag value
Sample Code:
public void fetchRowByFlagSetting(int flag){
     oracle.jbo.ViewCriteria vc = <View_Object_Instance_Used_By_Table>.createViewCriteria();
     oracle.jbo.ViewCriteriaRow vcr = vc.createViewCriteriaRow();
     vcr.setAttribute("<Flag_Attribute_Name_As_Shown_in_View_Object_Attributes_Section>", <flag_value>);
     vc.addRow(vcr);
     <View_Object_Instance_Used_By_Table>.applyViewCriteria(vc);
     <View_Object_Instance_Used_By_Table>.executeQuery();
}- Expose it as client interface
- Drag drop the method parameter as selectoneradio and the method as button
- Drag and drop your table as table
Now, on clicking on button after selecting value from the selectOneRadio refreshes the table with the filtered data

How to select rows with Empty Column Entry

I am trying to select all rows with an empty column
select row1 from table where row2=' ';
Any suggestions. I tried a space and no space in between the ''.

An (theoretical) argument could be made that an empty string is not NULL (uknown), however Oracle's SQL and PL/SQL engines make no such distinction for VARCHAR2 and CHAR data types. As stated, you must use NULL as the comparison.

How to select items with selectedItem and selectedIndex?

Hello.
I'm trying to selected and item in both a dropdownlist and combobox using selectedItem or selectedIndex properties. They don't work
Browing internet I found a lot of people with the same problem, that was already know in 2008.
The easy commands ddcompontent.selectedIndex = value or ddcomponent.selectedItem = item don't work.
Can anyone help me?
I couldn't find any solution.
thank you

Without seeing your code it's hard to tell where you are going wrong.
I have comboboxes which I need to set to the last value selected.
I wrote a function like this, and it works fine for my needs. Given you know the value you want to select. if you know the index of the item already then you should just be able to set that.
private function setCmb(cbx:ComboBox, val:String):void
var arrC:ArrayCollection = cbx.dataProvider as ArrayCollection;
for (var i: int = 0; i < arrC.length; i++) {
var pe:String = arrC.getItemAt(i) as String;
if ( val == pe) {cbx.selectedIndex = i;
break;}
