I need a detailed explanation about this query!

Hey Guys,
I'm doing a course on distributed databases at uni. I have got this query but I am not 100% sure what is being executed first, the queries between brackets or outter ones.
What is the difference between semi-join and join queries?
what's meant by "WHERE EXISTS" clause?
what's the union do with the results?
SELECT C.COUNTRYNAME, C.CODE FROM "USER_HP_FULL"."COUNTRY" C
WHERE EXISTS(
SELECT 1 FROM (SELECT * FROM "USER1_HP_FULL"."ATHLETE1_REPLICA1"
UNION SELECT * FROM "USER2_HP_FULL"."ATHLETE2_REPLICA1"
UNION SELECT * FROM "USER3_HP_FULL"."ATHLETE3_REPLICA1") A
WHERE A.CCODE = C.CODE)
ORDER BY C.COUNTRYNAME;
Thank you!

Then you should
1. open a sql*plus command window
2. log on as a user with the correct privileges
3. set serveroutput on
4. set autotrace traceonly
5. execute the query
Examine the execution plan - it will show you what is being executed first. If you have questions post the plan using \ tags.

Any Explanations y this query is not ordering ?

SELECT dept_id, salary, job_id
FROM employees
ORDER BY
( SELECT dept_id
FROM departments
WHERE last_name='Abel');
Assumptions:
1. The inner subquery gives a value of 10 only.
2. There is no 10th column in the Table Employees.
3. There is only 1 employee in the department 10.
Output it gives :
It gives all that is there in the employees table(projected cols), However the first record is always from dept_id= 10, then it just displays without ordering.

yes you are partially correct. The subquery will return only 10 and not 1 or 5 or any other value.
I have an explanation to this query bt I'm not sure about it.
Oracle checks for semantics and syntax at compile time. So if everything is correct then only it submits the query for execution. Now when a subquery executes only then oracle knows there is no 10th col in the database so it is a runtime error.

Hi, my hinge cover is loose, do I need to do anything about this?

Hi, my hinge cover is loose, do I need to do anything about this?

I'd recommend taking it in. I had the same thing happen to mine when I had the screen replaced, and it wasn't that noticeable at first but it kept getting worse the more I used and travelled with my computer.
So I'd take it in before it got too much worse--I would guess that it might be covered even without warranty, or that it'd be a cheap repair if not. Good luck!

Whats the memory speed, whats the motherboard supported bus? Whats the motherboard?
Why there isnt many info about this note around there? Is it new? Terrible? Better options?

This system should be using using M780G Chipset and supports dual channel DDR2 800MHz...

How would i go about this query

I need to sum 3 of the same volume fields based on 3 diff where in clauses. in one single query. So basicaly these three queries below in one query. Its been a long time since ive had to do queries, can any also link me to a good resource for understanding nested selects, unions etc..

How do I find out my keychain password? Need more info fast about this

My computer started to get really slow, so I looked what I could do to make it faster again. After searching I found that the safari content was high and that I should delete it to make it less laggy and slow. Long story short I ended up deleting my saved passwords on safari...Looking into more info, I found out that I needed to get to Keychain Access. I got to Keychain access, found all the passwords.
My question..
•How do I get them out of Keychain?
•If I end up needing my password for Keychain, how do I find that out? I have the like start up CD, but I dont remember ever making a password.
•And if I do retreive my Keychain Password some how, will that delete everything stored in Keychain? I would have just tried it, but its a lot of passwords I CAN NOT lose...
Please help :/
Thanks!

Never mind the screenshot.
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

I need a simple explanation about cert authentication sample, please

Hi
Thank you for reading my post
I have tried to understand the cert sample which could be find in
JavaES5\identity\samples\authentication\api\CertI looked at the readme file and it mentiond two files name cert7.db and key3.db
But it does not talk about how we can use those kind of files from within a Java application, I mean how a client application can use these files to perform authentication with the access manager?
For example, a client must have the certification and then it can be able to authenticate againts the access manager.
What is/are the relation between cert7.db and key3. db with trust.jks and keys.jks ?
can we use those file here in this sample? if yes, how?
Thanks

I consider Time Capsule slow, mainly because it depends upon a wireless network for backing up. I tried it, but went back to the plug and play FW800 wired backup. Since this particular forum is for the MacBook Pro hardware, I'd suggest the following two forums to search for your answer (or ask questions):
Time Machine
Time Capsule
Since you want easy, the external hard drive is about as easy as it gets. Buy. Unpack. Plug into your Mac. Format (if you don't buy a Mac formatted one, which is unnecessary). Go to System Preferences>Time Machine. Choose the disk as the time machine. Turn on.

Physics for game developers book. I need to know something about this book.

1. On Amazon, the discription says it is for people with college leval math. I am only fourteen, so that won't work for me.
2. The examples are in C++
I don't care if the book is in Java, but I need a good book on game DESIGN. Is this a good book:
Game Design: The Art & Business of Creating Games
by Bob Bates. I really need to know. Thanks. Are there any other good game DESIGN books? Preferably one that is either JAVA or not made for a lanquage. Thanks.

Basic physics equations etc. isn't that hard - GCSE
maths and science is enough to get a basic physics
demo up and running. If you've not covered these areas
yet you'll want to look into trigonometry (sin, cos
etc.) and the equations of motion (dealing with speed,
acceleration etc.).This is not true.
Figuring out the forces will give you some set of equations that relate accelerations, velocity and positions with some properties of the physical system you have. This is a system of second order differential equations, more or less complicated to solve, if you want to get position and velocity over time from it.
To solve this symbolically or to be able to write an algorithm that solves this numerically is something you learn at University, except for some very easy cases.
The book explains some of this.
Look at it but don't despair.
It is good enough if you get a physics engine in your hands, thus some ready coded routines that do the job of solving for you.
I believe that book has some.

Marc

Needed some detailed explanation for following points -- In UNICODE

Hi all
The following rules apply for converting a structure into a single field and vice versa:
1. If a structure is purely character-type, it is treated like a C field during conversion.
2. If the single field is of type C, but only part of the structure is character-type, conversion is only possible if the structure begins with a character-type structure and if this structure is at least as long as the single field. Conversion now takes place between the first character-type group of the structure and the single field. If the structure is the target field, the character type sections of the remainder are filled with blanks, and all other components are filled with the type-adequate initial value.
3. Conversion is not permitted if the structure is not purely character-type and if the single field is not of type C.
hi anybody can provide an explanation with examples
Thanks in advance.

The data layout of structures is relevant to UP checks with regard to the reliability of assignments and comparisons, for example. This data layout is represented in the Unicode fragment view. The fragment view breaks down the structure into alignment gaps, in byte and character-type areas, and all other types such as P, I, F, strings, references or internal tables.
Juxtaposed character-type components of a structure except strings are internally combined into a group if no alignment gaps exist between these components. All possible alignment requirements for characters are considered. Juxtaposed byte type components are grouped together in the same way.
Example
BEGIN OF struc,
a(2) TYPE C,
b(4) TYPE N,
c    TYPE D,
d    TYPE T,
e    TYPE F,
f(2) TYPE X,
g(4) TYPE X,
h(8) TYPE C,
i(8) TYPE C,
END OF struc.
Fragment 1: a, b, c, d
Fragment 2: Alignment gap between d and e
Fragment 3: e
Fragment 4: f, g
Fragment 5: Alignment gap between g and h
Fragment 6: h, i

Are the statistics on your temp table up to date?. Either add an %UpdateStats SQL step after loading the temp table, or check the following notes if your database is Oracle and is a relatively current version:

I want to know detail explanation about ImageCapture method

I'm trying to use ImageCapture (Document method) to make clipped artboard images as jpeg.
The method requires to set an argument Rect to define a clipping boundary
But I can not find how to set Rect argument in the reference.
By the way,
I can write whole artwork image data to a specified file.
But It looks the file isn't saved as jpeg.
How do I change file type.

Hi artchrome!!
Setting visibleBounds as clippingbounds works correctly!!
It looks an exported file is PNG though file name is Jpg.
But it is not a problem at all.
Thank you very much!!

How do you edit the 'About this mac' window?

Hi,
I need to edit the about this mac window - pictured here to remind you of what exactly it is ( http://www.pluggedinmac.com/Picture%201.jpg )- in order to further my understanding of how this aspect of Macintosh works.
I will be extremely greatful of all replies
Thanks
James

You'll need to be a bit more specific about what you mean by "edit".
If you want to edit the actual .nib file (the archive which describes the window), it's at
/System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/Ab outThisMac.nib
Nib files can normally be edited by using the Interface Builder application that's part of the Xcode developer tools.
However, since you're on an Intel-based Mac, you won't be able to edit the nib unless you first find a version from a Power PC Mac. The reason for this is that .nib files aren't actually a file, but a package that includes different parts inside the primary folder. For example, if you Control-click on the AboutThisMac.nib mentioned above, and choose Show Package Contents, a new Finder window will open which shows a single item "keyedobjects.nib". That is an actual file which holds the archived user interface objects (using key/value coding/archiving, hence the "keyed" in the name). To be able to open and edit a .nib file in Interface Builder, however, you need two additional files inside named "classes.nib" and "info.nib". These provide Interface Builder with the information necessary to properly open the nib. By removing those two files from the nib, a developer can essentially make the nib "read-only", meaning it will work fine when the application it's a part of needs to use it, but an end-user (or their competition) cannot open the nib file in Interface Builder to see how the objects were constructed. Most nibs that are part of an OS X install on PowerPC-based Macs include the necessary files and can be opened in Interface Builder. Most of the nibs included with Intel-based Macs, on the other hand, do not include those files and can't be opened in Interface Builder without first copying the "classes.nib" and "info.nib" files from a PowerPC-based Mac's nib to the Intel version of the nib.
Hope this helps....
