I realize I don't understand LR like I should, so...
help me understand LR's "reaction" to this...
Images = approx 17,000. I plan to move the bulk to an external HDD and keep "current" ones locally (I have a laptop, so I won't always have my external HDD with me but will still want to do editing). I want to create a whole new catalog without losing edits in my current. I believe using DNG instead of NEF will be the best option for keeping metadata with the file for future use. I also want to change my folder organization to date-based and use keyword tagging and collections instead of a "homemade" folder hierarchy.
What's the best way to achieve this transition? I cannot lose ANY metadata or edits. (I also hope to somehow cull my "RAW+JPEG" files to just "RAW" in the process without resorting to manual deletion.)
I finished configuring and setting up some new office printers today. Despite an email detailing their use, you wouldn't believe how many people had mental meltdowns about the portion in red, and had to be personally walked through how to do this at the printer.
How do these people function in the modern world? It's a color touchscreen with plainly visible text showing what each button does. It's about as intuitive as it gets. It makes me wonder what would happen if these people had to use an ATM or a RedBox kiosk.
Beyond that, I caught one of the office staffers using the Toshiba printer I just informed them all to stop using, to print out the email I sent about the new printers so that (wait for it)... "he could read it."

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

I'm 51 years old and recently retired. I have a new IPad Air. Which MacBook should I buy to go with it? I don't understand flash storage. It feels like I would have a bunch of flash drives to keep up with. Help an old lady out!!!
Depends on how you want to use it. Flash storage on the newer macbook and macbook air are built in. A macbook air is the most light weight and a very good machine. It will do all you want it to do unless you are running some very intensive programs. If you go to the apple store on line you can compare the different macbook pro" and macbook Air's.

HT6312 I don't understand why you are holding our documents captive!
How can you NOT make it backwards compatible! I prefer not to install the latest IOS (as we've seen what happens, with the last IOS update) before I am comfortable with the update. This is irresponsible and not customer friendly. Basically I am S.O.L. if I have an older iPhone or iPad. Thanks for being so customer friendly.
James,
Sorry I did not realize it was User to User. Very funny, really. Who would you like the check made out to? LOL
So I went to login to iCloud (on my PC) and I was forced to update to a different version of iCloud that would no longer allow any devices below IOS 8 access to the Pages area. I just don't understand why thy (Apple developers) cannot make it backwards compatible. -
I can't don't understand code in netbean and it's about Jframe.
i use netbean to design 2 jframe with some buttons on both frame.
frame1 is login form, frame2 is mainform. i want to show loginform then click the button1 to show 2nd jframe.
then i click exit on 2nd jframe and it come back to loginform(frame1).
i do alot of search on the google and here. i know the basic to show a jframe using
setVisible or .show() .hide(), etc..
the problem is what is my jframe variable name in netbean?
i know i can create an jframe object
such as: JFrame frame1 = new JFrame(); etc.. (it's ok if the syntax is wrong for now).
When i use netbean, i drag the Gui components to the Jframe. The jframe is generated by netbean automatically.
When the main program runs, it calls main() method, follow by :
public void run() {
new LoginForm().setVisible(true);
new LoginForm().setVisible <--- setVisible(true) means show the form.
and is new LoginForm() create an object from LoginForm class.
public LoginForm() {
initComponents();
When it create a new object, it runs default constructor and calls iniComponoents and finally show the jframe.
my question is when you create object, you usually declare variable and use variable to hold reference to the object.
that's why i don't understand how it works here.
it only create news object, bu no variable to holding it. how do i control this Jframe to show and hide without a reference variable????????????

i tried hand-written code, and it looks just fine when design few buttons, labels and textfields.
The adjustment of buttons(labels) are not that good on the frame.
However, when you use IDE, you can drag the button on any spot you like in the jframe.... and in the process not learn how Swing works, and lose flexibility and power. Sorry to sound conceited, but I'll match any of your netbeans-created GUI's with one of my own, and mine will likely be better -- and I'm not all that good at this just yet.
Much luck. -
I don't understand what's happening with my Music. All the songs that I purchased, that were previously on my phone, now show up with a Cloud next to them, but I can't play them. If I touch the Cloud, it turns into a red square, acts like it's downloading (which I can see happening in iTunes), but never downloads. The Cloud just stays there.
I've sync'd my phone, I've turned it to "show all music" in Settings, I've drag and dropped the songs/albums onto my phone again. I feel like I've tried everything I've seen recommended, but nothing works.
I've purchased a lot of music from iTunes. It should be there. What's going on?
P.S. Same thing happening with my purchased books. Ugh.Once you successfully add you iTunes library to iTunes Match, you go to Settings>iTunes & App Store on your iOS device and turn on iTunes Match. Your iTunes Match library will then appear on your iOS device.

Which Mac Pro? More cores=slower speeds? And most of us know the speed matters or FPU for music and I don't understand the faster is for the least amount of procs. And while I get the whole rendering thing and why it makes sense.
The above is what the bar says. It's been a while and wondered, maybe Apple changed the format for forums. Then got this nice big blank canvas to air my concerns. Went to school for Computer Science, BSEE, even worked at Analog Devices in Newton Massachusetts, where they make something for apple.
The bottom line is fast CPU = more FPU = more headroom and still can't figure out why the more cores= the slower it gets unless it's to get us in to a 6 core then come out with faster cores down the road or a newer Mac that uses the GPU. Also. Few. I'm the guy who said a few years ago Mac has an FCP that looks like iMovie on Steroids. Having said that I called the campus one day to ask them something and while I used to work for Apple, I think she thought I still did as she asked me, "HOW ARE THE 32 CORES/1DYE COMING ALONG? Not wanting to embarrass her I said fine, fine and then hung up. Makes the most sense as I never quite got the 2,6,12 cores when for years everything from memory to CPU's have been, in sets of 2 to the 2nd power. 2,4,8,16,32,64,120,256,512, 1024, 2048,4196,8192, 72,768. Wow. W-O-W and will be using whatever I get with Apollo Quad.
Peace to all and hope someone can point us in THE RIGHT DIRECTION. THANK YOUThanks for your reply via email/msg. He wrote:
If you are interested in the actual design data for the Xeon processor, go to the Intel site and the actual CPU part numbers are:
Xeon 4 core - E5.1620v2
Xeon 6 core - E5.1650v2
Xeon 8 core - E5.1680v2
Xeon 12 core - E5.2697v2
I read that the CPU is easy to swap out but am sure something goes wrong at a certain point - even if solderedon they make material to absorb the solder, making your work area VERY clean.
My Question now is this, get an 8 core, then replace with 2 3.7 QUAD CHIPS, what would happen?
I also noticed that the 8 core Mac Pro is 3.0 when in fact they do have a 3.4 8 core chip, so 2 =16? Or if correct, wouldn't you be able to replace a QUAD CHIP WITH THAT? I;M SURE THEY ARE UO TO SOMETHING AS 1) WE HAVE SEEN NO AUDIO FPU OR PERHAPS I SHOULD CHECK OUT PC MAKERS WINDOWS machines for Sisoft Sandra "B-E-N-C-H-M-A-R-K-S" -
SOMETHINGS UP AND AM SURE WE'LL ALL BE PLEASED, AS the mac pro was announced Last year, barely made the December mark, then pushed to January, then February and now April.
Would rather wait and have it done correct than released to early only to have it benchmarked in audio and found to be slower in a few areas- - - the logical part of my brain is wondering what else I would have to swap out as I am sure it would run, and fine for a while, then, poof....
PEACE===AM SURE APPLE WILL BLOW US AWAY - they have to figure out how to increase the power for 150 watts or make the GPU work which in regard to FPU, I thought was NVIDIA? -
I just updated my Macbook (2010) to Yosemite, and it's become very slow. After searching through this community, I downloaded and run EtreCheck, but don't understand what the report means. Please could you help me with what I should do to improve my computer's speed, aside from upgrading my RAM? Thank you so much.

You have had good information here. I will not repeat that here.
I would like to add:
you have incompatible software: start in SafeMode, read Woodmeister and see if it is free of issues.
Akamai is crap software needed or not, Huawei the same.
It is very possible that the keygenerator you used for generating a key for some softwares has infected your mac.
The non-regular software with the false key(s) are not compatible probably or generate malware. Luckily you can not update them automatically because the keygenerator blocked the software for contacting the developer... I propose to consider getting rid of those softwares by really good uninstalling.
You have a beautiful mac, don't degenerate it with crapped software. There are alternatives for expensive software, for example Adobe Photoshop has a free alternative (with a less beautiful interface) in GIMP. And so on.

Why is this an error??? I don't understand why it is... Help Please
Hi,
Ok, I'll preface this by saying there's a lotta code pasted in here but it really quite an easy question, I just need to post all the code so you understand where what came from.
Now.............the question I'm trying to do is to create an applet that has 2 buttons -- each button when clicked opens an application (one is a simple calculator, the other a Mortgage calculation app). When you click one of the buttons (calc or mortgage), that app opens infront of the 2 button menu so its in "focus". The button on the 2 button menu then switches to a "hide app X" button (ie: "Mortgage", changes to "Hide Mortgage"). Thus if you click the hide button, the app that was opened is hidden, and then that "hide" button switches back to the original "app X" button. Pretty simple.
Now, I have from my text book an example that does exactly this, with the simple calculator already in it, and with another app (a traffic light thing) where the Mortgage should be in my final product. I also already have the Mortgage applet I need to insert from another book example in place of that Traffic Light portion.
Now, common sense would dictate that I should be able to just copy my code for the Mortgage applet into the example that has the 2 button menu structure, and overwrite the code I want to get rid of (the traffic light) with the mortgage code & rename the menu buttons. Right?? A simple switch of one thing for another... but therein lies my problem.
I copied all the Mortgage code in correctly over the traffic lights, switched the button names, tried to compile it but I get one error....
Exercise12_17.java:52: cannot resolve symbol

mortgageAppletFrame.pack();I don't understand why..... mortgageAppletFrame.pack(); was a simple rewrite from lightsFrame.pack(); like every other line...... it should work. I've gone over it for 2 days......... Anyone know why it comes up as an error???
Below, in order going down is (1)my code with the 1 error I can't solve, (2)the original menu example I tried to edit, and (3)the Mortgage app code...........
Does anyone know what my error is?? Help or a hint would be greatly appreciated........ Thanks.

and change

Apparently I don't understand a feature correctly in Mac mail version 6.6
I am a little confused about what the difference is between a new mailbox and a new smart mailbox in mail. I wanted to create one folder that I can put all my mail into so that I can use my inbox as a sort of a "tickler file". I created a new "mailbox" from the little plus sign at the bottom left of the screen and chose "on my mac" and named it "archive". I moved every email from my inboxes (from multiple email accounts) into this. Was this the correct way to accomplish my goal?
Unfortunately I felt uncomfortable about this action and then became confused and tried to undo what I had done by moving them back to the inbox so that I could delete the "archive" "mailbox" I had created. I didn't feel like I had accomplished my goal correctly because I don't understand how this new system of "mailboxes and smart mailboxes" fully works and why there are not just simple folders anymore! I deleted the archive mailbox I had created and it apparently deleted ALL of my emails from off of my mac for only one of my email accounts! What is going on!? I just want to simply be able to organize my email workflow with one simple folder. I don't want to set permissions for this folder or anything. Can someone PLEASE help me understand what the heck I've done wrong and how I can get my emails back into mail from my server?
Thank you!Your original action is alright but maybe not what you wanted.
A mailbox is a physical thing (a folder) you can add locally to your mac. You can move emails into it and they will leave the IMAP folder they were in and reside on your mac. What's left on the server is your "tickler" file.
Alternatively, you could create an IMAP mailbox called archive and put mail there. Then the mail would still be on the server but in the archive folder. The easiest way to remember this is "An IMAP mailbox on your mac is a copy/cache/clone of the same mailbox on the server" that is why you can see it on all your devices and a change on one means a change to all. If you want access to this "archive" from all your devices, then it needs to be a server IMAP mailbox.
A smart mailbox is really just a filter. It's like a saved search. Mail that meets the search criteria shows up in the smart mailbox. Nothing is moved. -
Don't understand the cc cleaner tool
Good morning and happy new year.
I must be the dumbest people here but I tried to follow the cc cleaner tool process explained here and I'm at a loss and stopped before making a fool of myself.
I went through the process 1 and 2 ie. I have a disk repair and an external disk backup of my system driver. (I use Win 7 Ultimate fully updated). My projects are NOT on the system drive as well as all the clips I use .
question : Will CC cleaner delete on the system drive any information related to my projects? I need a precise answer: No or Yes. The "perhaps", "maybe" etc evavive answers are not acceptable in such situations.
In the step 2 of the help file I uninstalled with Win 7 uninstall manager different elements from CC and CS 6 that either I have no use of or that I wont use anymore as I want to stick to the latest version of CC which are PPro, AE and Mediaencoder for the moment.
We arrive to step 3 and there I just don't understand why I should have to uninstall programs I uninstalled in the previous step. Will that step totally erase the whole programs of CC for example, or will it just clean remaining items or directories specifically related to for instance Prelude CC 2014 ? Can't people who write these messages in their scripts be once and for all precise in their wording saying what will be done?!
In this present instance I need to make a clean re-install of Mediaencoder CC as there has been most probably a problem during the recent update although it was completed without any error messages; I can't anymore re encode a project although I have not changed a line of it! The program stops suddenly and reboots my computer. I have not changed anything in the computer as well and the hardware is not the cause of the problem as it is only Media encoder which provokes the crash when it did not before the update.
This will be probably considered an ill mannered way of presenting my problem by I'm sorry to say that one cannot work cautiously enough and I don't want to see weeks of work erased and not usable even with backups because a user manual is not clear and precise in its wording. This infuriates me and I wish to know where I set foot!
Again sorry for my bad temper but really this is stressing.
Thanks in advance for your help

My project is on driver G, my clips are on D, E and G, with a majority of them on G; Cloud CC 2014 is on Driver C with Windows 7
B/What version of Premiere Pro are you running currently? Do you have any third party plug-ins or hardware you using in conjunction with Premiere Pro? Do you know what version of Media Encoder you were using successfully before the recent update and you started having problems?
I use exclusively since I took the subscription to Cloud CC, the latest versions, I check updates or upgrades every week and of course get notification also by the automatic Cloud manager of any new version. My last update was done on the 30th of December 2014. So yes I run with the most recent programs; the problems occurred just after! And got aggravated yesterday for no reason when Media encoder and Premiere Pro did not recognized MP4 format clips with an error message that the format was not supported!!! I hope Adobe did not decide to abandon this format, because it would put my 2 projects in full jeopardy!
Before the last update I had no problems. I have uploaded on Vimeo a provisional encoded file (see
with password rja404177 .
I decided to separate my project in two master projects concerning each of them the 2 parts of the video, with different names as to make the projects less heavy to manage by the computer and also easier to correct or change some of the effects controls especially the use of the curves RGB effect. I have a problem of getting an even colorimetric view between three different sources of files and cameras, one source is analog, the others HD and one of the latest has been more or less over exposed, so I check every clips with the YCscope and RGB parade and Vectorscope ( there could be a problem of color broadcast due to the red of the cliffs). Just imagine what would happen If I had to do it again! The full video is 1h10 minutes long! The video here corresponds to the first master project before the division in two parts. As I use nested sequences I have transferred in the master sequence here the 3 first sequences of the film (Titles, Las Vegas to Lee's Ferry, 1st day on the river).
Yes I have Video Copilot addons but which are not used in the project as well as Red Giant Universe Premium also not used here. In fact I seldom use special effects in these projects as they are kind of documentary on my raft trip down the Colorado in 1995 updated with films of two friends done 2011 and 2013. The only effects used are Cross dissolve and the Slide push one twice in the project for the last one. I use otherwise the default controls of scale and opacity if necessary. Soundwise, my tracks are declared 5.1 and used in conjunction with Audition CC (I've been a user of this last program for many years since it's creation by Syntrillium under the name CoolEdit Pro before Adobe acquired it!)
May I add that I'm not a novice with computers although an old froggy of 73!LOL! I began using computers in 1972 besides my job of Financial Analyst. I developed software in APL+ for stocks buy and sell decision making and created in France the first financial database in 1978 I was considered at that time like a perfect crazy guy in my business, good to be put in an asylum!!!. Since then I must say I had a good laugh! Try to prevent a trader to use a computer and databases nowadays and you'll see the speed at which he will throw you out of the window!
C/I would probably have focused on just Media Encoder if possible but whats done is done. Maybe you did?
Yes you're right I sort of thought of Media encoder first, but revised my way of dealing with the problem thinking that may be the installation had not been done correctly although no problem occurred during the update. I always update one program at a time waiting it to be fully completed before clicking on the install button of the next one.
D/ about the two methods of uninstall.
You say "The cleaner tool removes the same directories as the standard uninstaller. However the uninstaller is definitely the preferred method as it is done in conjunction with OS and the registry versus scripts which don't. The cleaner tool is generally used when the standard uninstall method fails "
May I say I'm not sure this is the right way to do from the user viewpoint. It is misleading. I'm again neither a professional in development although I mentioned what I did when I was not retired, and not a professional in Video editing etc.. I just address the problem from the user's point of view. If Adobe thinks that the Management panel solution is the best solution to have all the files eliminated let's stick to it. In fact one can see by using the CCleaner program that it does not eliminate all the register's problems after having uninstalled a program. So perhaps then it is justified to use also the Adobe CC Cleaner device. Then may I suggest that the phrasing of the step 3 be changed to make the user understand its real purpose. From what you say one induces that they are complementary. This should be perfectly clear in the user's brain. When I tried to find answers to my problems on the forums it showed many times that people did not really understand what would happen, how the device was going to work. That's why I insisted in my question on the "precise, yes or no " etc.. answers required. I can dedicate time to such questioning, I doubt a professional having to deliver a final product under contract has time to make hypothesis on this matter if it occurs to him such mishaps....
E/ miscellaneous questions:
Yes I use the default format proposed by Media encoder H.264 preset : Match source high bitrate which matches my project's settings. It worked three times before the update without an hitch. Why should not it go on like that?
The encoded files are saved either on the driver of the project file, or on the E external driver to make sure I do not erase the final encoded file by mistake. Poirot's little grey cells are a little bit rusty nowadays!
I had no problems before the update by working like that.
I did not try a different codec before the last event which is the impossibility of using my MP4 clips. By the way the projects contain also AVI uncompressed (codec UYVY) files (My quicktime version is also updated) and the native files of my Canon Legria AVCHD camera (AVC format) and I used the AVI uncompressed format because I wanted to derush my analog files to eliminate any shots which were of poor quality. I use for this a small software: AVI Cutty which works only with AVI uncompressed files. So I used Media Encoder to pre encode my analog files in this format first; It separate automatically my videos in clips more or less corresponding to scenes. Again I had no problem since I began to use Adobe software more than a year ago with CS5.5 and then with CC 2014 since last September as a yearly subscriber.
Both projects have the same problem.
I checked the Windows task manager while encoding and I observed this:
a/ the crash occurs randomly in time.
b/ it seems that each time the encoding passes on a cross dissolve section (I'm not certain of that it can be also the changes in the curves RGB effects settings from one clip to the other.) the CPU usage curve reaches a peak around 95 to nearly 100%. I suppose the crash occurs when the 100%+ is reached.
c/I've checked my system driver's integrity, there is no problem here. I did the same for the memory which is ok too.
d/ No I did put the question on other forums because I did not find the right place to put it.
I do my best not to pollute other forums with non related questions.
e/ As for the recognition of the MP4 files, other programs like the Windows mediaplayer recognize them so it's not a question of corrupted files.
f/ I've just checked with the reinstalled media encoder. I did not re-encode but I do not get any more messages that the MP4 format is not recognized! Thank god! Remains to test the re-encoding itself and PP when the installation is over.
Well I hope this long answer gives you a better idea of what is going on. I'm finishing right now the re installation of PP AE Media encoder and Audition and will come back to you with the results.
Thanks again

What is it with yield() that I don't understand?
The following code starts a thread that awaits a notification that never comes. However, I was expecting the Foo main thread to enter the running state again sometime after it yields and print the last line "main running again", but not so. The program hangs and never execute main's last print statement.
class Task extends Thread {
Foo foo;
Task (Foo syncOnThis) {
foo = syncOnThis;
@Override
public void run () {
synchronized (foo) {
System.out.println("task has the foo lock.");
try {
System.out.println("task about to release lock.");
foo.wait();
} catch (InterruptedException ie) {
System.err.println("task was interrupted.");
System.out.println("task was notified!");
public class Foo {
private synchronized void notifier() {
notifyAll();
System.out.println("foo notified all");
public static void main(String[] args) {
Foo foo = new Foo();
Task alpha = new Task(foo);
alpha.start();
Thread.yield();
try {
Thread.sleep(500);
} catch (InterruptedException ie) {
System.out.println("Foo's sleep interrupted");
System.out.println("main thread running again");
}My understanding of yield() is that it offers to demote the current thread to the runnable state in order to allow other threads - in this case Task - to enter the running state. But once Task calls wait(), it also retreats from the running state and this is where I expect the main thread to become running again.
If I swap yield() with something like
try {
Thread.sleep(500);
} catch (InterruptedException ie) {
System.out.println("Foo's sleep interrupted");
}then it main does actually return to a running state and executes the last statement.

I see.Do also note that yield seldom is used these days. You most likely have a bug in your implementation or design if you think you need to call yield, or you are executing on a really old VM or on an odd system.

Don't understand Verizon policy from a business point of view
I have a basic 2 line account with Verizon ( no smartphones) which I have had for years. I have had contracts renewed over and over when the contract expired. Now I am looking to upgrade to 2 smartphone plans but have 3 months left under my current contract. I was told I wasn't allowed to renew the contract while an existing contract is in place ( not even if the new plan is a larger plan) I did have the option to use EDGE to pay 20 per month for each phone, I thought it would be 20 per month until the old contract is up, kind of like a pro rate type of deal. But No, I had to pay 20 per month until the full 800 is paid in full..........but if I wait 3 months until my contract is up I can get the phones for nothing.
So, I 'll wait 3 months, but in the meantime you can bet I will check out other carriers and see what they have to offer. I just don't understand why Verizon would risk losing a customer or customers over 3 months even if the customer wants to lock themselves in with a larger plan that only has 3 months to go on the older contract. Kind of like sports free agency, lock them in while you can, especially when it is benefitting the company in the long run.Swoosh2229 wrote:
But you ask would that even make sense with the new car analogy? Yes it does make sense, especially when the new car will be completely free of charge in 3 months.
What??? You have only 3 monthly payments left on your CURRENT car and you trade it in for a NEW car. You think if you make 3 payments after getting the NEW car it would be paid off in full??? Possibly if trading in a BMW and getting a Honda Civic in exchange, otherwise you would have SEVERAL(years) payments before that car would be "completely free of charge".
Funny, I've never seen a car dealership offer financing for new cars with a 3 month payback option. They are normally 36, 48, 60 and 72 months to pay off the financing. Never seen a 3 month financing deal. THOSE must be some pretty SUBSTANTIAL payments. Learn something new every day. -

I got those errors like above!!! I don't understand what the
instructions said. any assistance would be appreciated!David,
I am afraid that the
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('An error occurred');
was my fault. I had intended it as an example to provide only
minimal syntax where no exception handling whatsoever previously
existed. Beau is a student and I am trying to guide him in the
right direction without just writing all of it for him. In
fact, I am afraid I may have already provided too much code
without sufficient explanation. For you and others who may wish
to help, here are the e-mails that provide the background on how
we got to this point, with the most recent on top, starting with
the last resonse I sent to him:
Things that are wrong:
The instructions say to be sure to use the sequence number for
the student's ID, so you should not have p_stuID as an input
parameter. Instead you should create a variable and select the
student_seq.nextval into the variable from the dual table and
use that value to populate the stuid column.
Your input parameters should only have the variable type, not
the size, so just use varchar2 and number.
The check constraints only belong in the script that is used to
create the table, not in your procedure with your input
parameters, so remove them from the procedure.
The order and number of your columns you are inserting into and
values you are inserting must match, so if you insert into fname
then lname, you need to insert the values p_fname then p_lname.
You must either have first name then last name in both or last
name then first name in both, not one way in one and the other
way in the other.
The idea is that when you execute the procedure you specify the
values of the input parameter variable, then use those input
parameter variables to insert the values into the table. You
should not be specifying any specific values anywhere in your
procedure. In other words don't insert 'HEATHER', instead
insert fname, and so on.
You should only have one insert statement. Each time the
procedure is executed, a different set of values will be
provided, and the same insert statement will be used.
Additional suggestions:
Although it is not required, since IN is the default, it is
generally considered to be a good programming practice to use IN
with your input parameters. It just makes the code easier to
read and understand. As you write other code, you will learn to
use OUT for output parameters and IN OUT for parameters that are
both input and output parameters.
It is generally recommended to store all data in upper case,
that is capital letters, so that it is easier to index and
search and avoid duplicates and so on. In order to ensure that
your data is input in upper case, it is a good idea to use the
UPPER function.
Different programmers and companies have different standards
that they use for capitalization, indentation, spacing,
alignment, and so forth to make their code uniform and easier to
read. You may want to look at some various styles and see what
you like or ask what your instructor recommends.
You should add some sort of exception handling section. For
example, if someone attempts to insert a value for standing that
isn't acceptable, then the procedure will fail due to the
constraints and the student will not be added. You probably
want to display some sort of message to the user. You might
also want to display a message if the input is successful.
When you attempt to compile your program and you receive a
message that says "Warning: Procedure created with compilation
errors." or some such thing, then from the SQL> prompt, type
SHOW ERRORS and it will list the error message number, a brief
description of the problem, and the line of code that the
problem occurred on. You can then type LIST and it will list
the code with line numbers, so that you can tell what line
number the error message is referring to.
In the following example, I have fixed the things that were
wrong, formatted it the way I usually do, and added minimal
exception handling and messages. There is a lot more that you
could do. I have also demonstrated how the program can be
tested and the results of proper input and improper input. In
the example below, two students are added correctly, then an
attempt to add another fails because the standing is not valid
and violates a check constraint, because graduate is not
acceptable. After each execution of the procedure, I have
queried the table, so that you can see what was added and what
was not.

I am not sure what part of it you don't understand.
The first section that you included is a script that you need to
copy and run, in order to create the sequences, tables, and data
that you will need to complete your assignment. You will need
to edit an empty .sql file, copy the script into the file, save
the file, then start the file. For example:
SQL> EDIT test
Type or copy the script and save the file.
SQL> START test
You should see various messages as the items are created. Then
you can use the following commands to see the tables and
sequences that you have created:
SQL> SELECT table_name FROM user_tables;
SQL> SELECT sequence_name FROM user_sequences;
To show the structure of an individual table, for example the
course table:
SQL> DESC course
To show the data in an individual table, like the course table:
SQL> SELECT * FROM course;
In the second section that you have provided, your instructor is
asking you to create three different procedures to do three
different things. To create a procedure, you edit a .sql file,
type the code to create the procedure, save the file, then start
the file. I usually make the .sql file name the same as the
procedure name. So, for example, in number 1, you are asked to
create a procedure named AddStudent, so you would:
SQL> EDIT AddStudent
Type your code.
Save the file.
SQL> START AddStudent
You should receive a message that says:
Procedure created.
Then, to execute your procedure:
SQL> EXEC AddStudent (put your parameter values here)
The basic syntax for creating a pl/sql procedure is:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE procedure_name
(put your parameters here)
AS
put your variable declarations here;
BEGIN
put your code that you want to execute here,
like insert statements and update statements;
END procedure_name;
So, if you are trying to create a procedure to add a new student
(which means inserting a row into the student table), you will
need to accept the values (parameters) that you are going to
insert, then insert them:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE AddStudent
(p_first .....
p_last .....
p_major .....
p_standing .....
p_GPA .....)
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO student .....;
END AddStudent;
I have just given you a starting format and deliberately left
out a lot, because you will learn more by doing it yourself. I
hope that makes things a little clearer.
I would like to know a little more about the class you are
taking. Please let me know where you are going to school, who
your instructor is, what is the name of the class you are
taking, and what book are you using. Also, please let me know
where you got my e-mail address (from one of the forums?)
Good luck,
Barbara

The lab notes from my professor said
1. your system will often need to create a new student. Write
PL/SQL code for an object named AddStudent that will take values
for first and last name, major, standing and GPA and add a new
record in the Student table. Since advisors aren't assigned at
registration time, we'll add their advisor at a later date.
Don't worry about the student's address. Be sure to use the
sequence number for the student's ID.
2. Write a procedure that will retrieve an existing record in
Enrollment usiing the student and section Ids and set the grade
to a specified value. (use update instead of insert)
3. Write another procedure that will assign a given student a
given advisor.
