Impact of migrating to a new database on the existing code

There is a java application that connects to postgreSQL as the database server. postgreSQL is installed under LINUX. I am planning to migrate the existing postgreSQL database to a SQL Server 2000 database under windows. In case of such an action will the application code need to be changed? If yes will it be a major change? Pls advise.

I left my crystal ball at home today; plus, I've never seen the code for the application in question,so it's kind of hard for me to say. Maybe this is a bit of a stretch, but isn't that what you, as a developer, should be determining? Based on the question(s) in your original post, do you truly believe someone is going to respond with a concrete answer? Do you think everyone but you knows if the application will need to be changed; and, if so, how big of a deal it will be? Come on, give me a break.
As for a few pointers that might help you come up with some answers:
- Is the SQL SQL-99 compliant (i.e. least common denominator kind of stuff) or is it postgreSQL-specific?
- Is the SQL fairly well contained within the code; or better yet in a separate file (.properties or XML)?
- Are you using any kind of persistence layer?

Hi deva,
write a class which implemets these methods
CLASS lcl_event_receiver DEFINITION.
PUBLIC SECTION.
    METHODS:
To handle the toolbar on alv
     handle_toolbar
       FOR EVENT toolbar OF cl_gui_alv_grid
          IMPORTING e_object e_interactive,
To handle the buttons on the alv grid
     handle_user_command
       FOR EVENT user_command OF cl_gui_alv_grid
       IMPORTING e_ucomm.
endclass.
Now Implement these methods.
CLASS lcl_event_receiver IMPLEMENTATION.
To handle the toolbar on alv
METHOD handle_toolbar.
   DATA ls_toolbar TYPE stb_button.
    CLEAR gs_toolbar.
    MOVE 3 TO gs_toolbar-butn_type.
    APPEND gs_toolbar TO e_object->mt_toolbar.
    CLEAR gs_toolbar.
    PERFORM icon_create USING 'ICON_INSERT_ROW' gs_toolbar-icon.
    MOVE text-010 TO gs_toolbar-function.
    MOVE text-012 TO gs_toolbar-quickinfo.
    MOVE ' ' TO gs_toolbar-disabled.
    APPEND gs_toolbar TO e_object->mt_toolbar.
    CLEAR gs_toolbar.
    PERFORM icon_create USING 'ICON_DELETE_ROW' gs_toolbar-icon.
    MOVE text-011 TO gs_toolbar-function.
    MOVE text-013 TO gs_toolbar-quickinfo.
    MOVE ' ' TO gs_toolbar-disabled.
    APPEND gs_toolbar TO e_object->mt_toolbar.
ENDMETHOD.
   METHOD handle_user_command.
In this form, check the function code(e_ucomm has the function code), based on that do the required action.
as i said yesterday(i.e for appending a row, deleting a row, modifying a row)
    PERFORM user_command USING e_ucomm.
ENDMETHOD
endclass.
Before calling the alv method, create a object of this class.
DATA :
      gref_event_receiver TYPE REF TO lcl_event_receiver,
      gv_tables_alv          TYPE REF TO cl_gui_alv_grid.
      CREATE OBJECT gref_event_receiver.
      SET HANDLER   gref_event_receiver->handle_user_command
                    FOR gv_tables_alv.
      SET HANDLER   gref_event_receiver->handle_toolbar
                    FOR gv_tables_alv.
check this program for event handling, it is the similar way

Need to add 2 new columns to the existing table control of C223 transaction

Hi ABAP Gurus,
I have to do a screen enhancement for transaction C223.
Below is the requirement:
need to add 2 new columns to the existing table control of C223 transaction.
there is no customer exits, screen exit or user exit present for this transaction C223, i have found one enhancement spot for this transaction.
i dont have any idea how to do this in standard transaction C223, the table control in C223 saves the data to MKAL table and the table control uses the structure MKAL_EXPAND in the screen program.
i have created an append structure for the 2 fields to the standard table MKAL.
Can anyone please suggest me how this can be done in standard screen C223, will the enhancement spot can be used to do this....
please sugest...
Thanks & Regards

the BADI definition present here is a SAP internal so we cant implement the BADI , but we can created a enhancement spot implementation for this. as per my understanding on this the enhancement spot is only for making the table control fields display / change . i dont think this can be used to add two new coloumns to C223 table control.
I am not sure thats why seeking your help/valuable sugestion on this.
Please provide your sugestion on this , so that i can come to conclusion on this issue.

Can I add new job in the existing Job

Hi Gurus,
There is a job which loads data from 4 ODS to respective Infocubes. Now we are adding new infocube and new ODS to the existing layout so can we add 1 more job which loads data from that ODS to corresponding Infocube. If so how??? Can u give me detailed steps to add new job in the existing job...
Thanks in advance

is the previous loads done through a job or a process chains???
Go to RSPC > check what process chains are there and in case if you find one > log you will see when it was last run and stuff.
But if it is a job in SM37, it is a different story, u might have to create a variant of that job and create events to trigger the job in sequence depending on ur scenario..
give more details. like when is that job triggered, if any events used.

How can I write new objects to the existing file with already written objec

Hi,
I've got a problem in my app.
Namely, my app stores data as objects written to the files. Everything is OK, when I write some data (objects of a class defined by me) to the file (by using writeObject method from ObjectOutputStream) and then I'm reading it sequencially by the corresponding readObject method (from ObjectInputStream).
Problems start when I add new objects to the already existing file (to the end of this file). Then, when I'm trying to read newly written data, I get an exception:
java.io.StreamCorruptedException
at java.io.ObjectInputStream.readObject0(Unknown Source)
at java.io.ObjectInputStream.readObject(Unknown Source)
Is there any method to avoid corrupting the stream? Maybe it is a silly problem, but I really can't cope with it! How can I write new objects to the existing file with already written objects?
If anyone of you know something about this issue, please help!
Jai

Here is a piece of sample codes. You can save the bytes read from the object by invoking save(byte[] b), and load the last inserted object by invoking load.

Migrating reports to new database schema

Hi,
My company has numerous Crystal Reports .RPT files that work against the existing database schema, but we are moving to a new database with a significantly different schema.
Rather than have to manually recreate new RPT files for all the reports, it would be nice if it would be possible to automate the process.
I have looked through the documentation for the various Java APIs and am completely confused as to whether this is possible and, if so, the best way to do it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Carl

I did have Crystal Reports version 9 installed, as well as version XI, but I uninstalled everything and only reinstalled Crystal Reports XI release 2, and I still have the same problem.

How to Create A new Database in the oracle 10g XE

i have oracle 10g XE i tried to create a new database but its giveing me error when i execute the sql command that is create database testDatabase how to create a new database in oracle 10g XE

Hi there 785434,
(This is a generic SQL question relating to Database Triggers, please post future questions of this type into the relevant forum area.)
Moderator, please move this if able
I use Before Update and Before Delete Triggers to record a 'snapshot' of the row being changed in my applications.
Example:
CREATE TABLE TEST
DATA VARCHAR2(64 CHAR),
CREATING_USERID VARCHAR2(20 CHAR) DEFAULT user NOT NULL,
CREATED_DATE DATE NOT NULL,
CHANGED_BY_USERID VARCHAR2(20 CHAR),
CHANGED_DATE DATE
LOGGING
STORAGE
(MAXEXTENTS UNLIMITED);
CREATE TABLE TEST_HISTORY
DATA VARCHAR2(64 CHAR),
CREATING_USERID VARCHAR2(20 CHAR) DEFAULT user NOT NULL,
CREATED_DATE DATE NOT NULL,
CHANGED_BY_USERID VARCHAR2(20 CHAR),
CHANGED_DATE DATE,
CHANGE_DESCRIPTION
NOLOGGING
STORAGE
(MAXEXTENTS UNLIMITED);
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER TRG_BU_TEST
BEFORE UPDATE ON TEST FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
INSERT /*+ append */ INTO TEST_HISTORY
(DATA, CREATING_USERID, CREATED_DATE, CHANGED_BY_USERID, CHANGED_DATE, CHANGE_DESCRIPTION)
VALUES
(:old.DATA, :old.CREATING_USERID, :old.CREATED_DATE, USER, SYSDATE, 'UPDATE');
END;
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER TRG_BD_TEST
BEFORE DELETE ON TEST FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
INSERT /*+ append */ INTO TEST_HISTORY
(DATA, CREATING_USERID, CREATED_DATE, CHANGED_BY_USERID, CHANGED_DATE, CHANGE_DESCRIPTION)
VALUES
(:old.DATA, :old.CREATING_USERID, :old.CREATED_DATE, USER, SYSDATE, 'DELETE');
END;
Using triggers like this will record who made an update or delete to the database and record the row before it was changed.
Note that this method might not be suitable for very high transaction rates.
You will need to 'clear' these history tables as part of routine maintenance.
Hope that this Helps.
Ronald.

How to create table(s)/indexes on a new database from an existing database

Hello all - I need some help in finishing a task, quick response is really appreciated
So, I have a new database that needs creation of tables including indexes and objects for two different tablespaces called CDS1 and CSD2. I have created these tablespaces and datafiles associated with them. I need some help just to create these tables and indexes from an existing database without copying any of its contents. How can I achieve this, these are 2 different servers at different locations. Can somebody give me step by step instruction - would greatly appreciate it !

Want to add new module in the existing Landscape

Hi Friends,
We have ECC 6.0 running with HCM and Finance, and this is for Phase I and it rolled out successfully last June, now we are going to add Merchandising for Phase II in the existing landscape.
My question is we have in our DEV Systems we have Client 100,200,300 and 500. and in Quality the same and one client in Production.,
Since we are going to add Merchandising in Phase II do we use the same existing clients in dev and qa or we need to have a seperate client in dev and qa,
But end of the day we will have only one client in Prod.
Please let me know we need to use different client or existing clients for realization.
Thanks in advance
Sathish

Hi,
I observe 4 clients in development, possibly my guess would be playpen, golden client, development and unit testing.
For a new implementation I would preferably use another client for the project or use the existing clients based on impact to production support to current landscape.
The clients in QA can be kept same to understand how the new changes integrate with the current landscape and if changes impact the current environment. This would ensure that any problems are fixed before transports are moved to production.
I have assumed a 3 system landscape but there are many possibilities where you can have a separate project landscape for this new module implementation to ensure no impact to production support team.
If your project can afford new servers then suggest buying two servers one with a copy of your development and another with a copy of production(project test system). This was you would start with all new developments happening in current landscape and also would be tested with a current copy of production data.
Cheers Sam

Automated process to compare new data with the existing

Below is the requested task and I am not sure if I can do this with only Database and ETL skill.
"New customers access out site and I get a http:// request notifying me with new people accessing our website. I need to somehow take this new customer and compare with the existing customer table and make sure that it is not an existing one.
If it is new , I need to send a http:// notification back to a third party saying that this is new. Also, this all has to be done REAL TIME. "
I am not sure if I can do all these real time by just using SSIS .
Any input is much appreciated. Stay warm Folks!

A new customer has to register, am I right? Then issue SELECT * FROM Customers WHERE Customerid=@CustomerID IF @@ROWCOUNT=0 that means it is a new one... You can use EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail to send a notification ....
