Irritated at one single issue. (Pre loaded games)

I went to verizon & bought the Xperia Play I didnt realize the tech has swapped memory cards from my Droid X2 I took back & put the Droid X2 memory card in the Xperia Play. Now I lost all my preloaded games & it says I need WIFI to get them back. I dont have WIFI or any WIFI sources around my area. Which means I gotta drive 20 minutes to a local source to connect.
What kind of lame crap is that. why not just use 3G why do you need WIFI. Is there a way to redownload them on your PC to your phone or anything cause this sucks. The closest verizon is 25 mins from me

This probably happened because the games for the Play are large, so many of them probably got moved to the SD card. You may be able to get them back, but if possible, could be quite a process. First, put your DX2 card back into the play and see if you can access the games. If so, go to menu>settings>applications>manage applications and select the SD card tab, this should show you all of the games that are on your card. Choose one, and select move to phone. If this is successful, re-swap the cards and move it back to the new card, rinse, repeat. And, after typing all of that, I thought of an easier possible solution. Access your DX2 card via computer and make sure hidden files are shown, copy the .androidsecure folder over to the Play card, as well as anything that looks like it may be related to the Play or any of the games.
Hopefully, one of those will work for you, otherwise, ROAD TRIP!

Help...Lost Factory Pre-Loaded Games

My Ipod was acting up and I executed a factory restore. Everything is great now, but I lost all the Factory pre-loaded games. I still have the games I bought from I tunes. Is there anyway to get the factory installed games back?
thanks
AA

Restoring the iPod should not have caused the pre-loaded games to be deleted.
You restored this iPod via iTunes (using the Apple updater)?

Changing pre loaded templates

Good afternoon,
I'm new to this so please bare with me.
If I use one of the pre loaded templates in Dreamweaver CS5 how do I amend the text colour etc in the "header" section? What ever I type is always underlined and I can't seem to change this, even if I amend the "header" rule.
Also, in the same template there is a box to insert a logo. When I insert a logo the text that I type is always underneath the logo, how do I change it so that the text appears in the top right hand corner?
Thanks
Luke

Thanks vey much, that website looks like it will be very useful.
I'm currently studying Dreamweaver at night college and some will say I'm trying to run before I can walk but to be honest I'm of the opinion that the more I try the more I will learn.
Thanks again for the help.

Leopard OS 10.5 - pre-loaded vs. Erase and Install

Just received a new iMac I ordered from from Apple Online yesterday. I was told it would come pre-loaded with the new Leopard OS but it didn't. The installed OS was 10.4.01. Apple has now agreed to either send me the Leopard OS or to take back the iMac and later on send me another one with Leopard pre-loaded. I'm wondering if this is really necessary as the Leopard OS Erase and Install option and/or a Secure Erase would appear to give me essentially the same result. Keep in mind my background is with Windows OS where I would always do a low level format of the hard drive and then do a clean install of a newer version of Windows OS. I would appreciate any suggestions about what I should do.

Malcom:
No, not initially. I saw the SCSI warning, but I must have missed that- I did the firware revision yesterday, after the fact- but I pulled the Jive drive box first and haven't had time to reassemble. I'll reinstall it tomorrow. Then I'll work on the SCSI card Adaptec 39160- (My Medea external Raid is a no show period.)
Thanks for being there!

Can I install Snow Leopard on the latest Macbook Pros? (the ones pre-loaded with Lion)

The problem and solution is pretty simple, I just want to know if anyone has tried this before. I have a brand new Macbook Pro that I bought more or less for the sole purpose of having a more powerful machine to run AVID Media Composer on. AVID is only compatible up to OS version 10.6.7 at the moment, and the machine I got was pre-loaded with Lion, 10.7....So I look at the support documentation Apple provides, and notice that in the nifty little chart they have, the latest line of Macbook Pros out there (early 2011) originally had version 10.6.6, so I'm assuming that's the previous version I can't downgrade past.
To revert back to Snow Leopard, however, I need to install it from the DVD which has version 10.6.3 on it, and then upgrade to any version between Snow Leopard 10.6.6 and Lion 10.7. In theory this could work, the only problem being that for a brief time between installing Snow Leopard and updating to the version of it that I need, the computer will have version 10.6.3 on it.
Now I'm pretty sure if the only thing I do on the computer is immediately update to a safe-to-use version, there will be no problems. However, if the machine's hardware is so terribly non-backwards compatible with the Snow Leopard OS, I may do all this backing up and reverting and not even be able to start the computer once I get the old install on it. Before I just go ahead and try this for myself, I was wondering if anyone else has, and more importantly, have you had any success?

Hi r,
EDIT: disregard my post. Waiting for that disc is a far better option.
I hope w won't mind if I add a thought here:

Now I don't mind if some drivers are messed up and resolution is all funky when I install 10.6.3 on it, I just need to know if it'll be functional to the point where I can run the 10.6.6 update dmg. Once I update to 10.6.6 everything should work fine.
Or could I install 10.6.3, have the 10.6.6 update burned to a disc, and boot straight from that? This is my first Mac so I'm not sure what little tricks work or not.
Your first idea may work; the only way to know for sure is to try it. If you do, make sure you download and run the Combo update for 10.6.7 or 10.6.8. There can be different versions of a point update, those which are available for download, and those which ship on Macs, so you want to install one beyond that which shipped with some of the new MBPs.
If the MBP won't boot to 10.6.3, something else to try is installing it to an external HD, then installing the 10.6.7 update on it, clone it to the MPB's internal HD, and run the 10.6.7 or 10.6.8 Combo update on it.

It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

SQL*Loader - How to combine Flat File 3 columns and put into one single column

Receive a flat file delimited by comma. Want to combine Flat File last 3 columns and put into one single column(Table).
e.g.
Flat File
100,239,30,20,30
While inserting into table want to combine last 3 columns and insert into invoice number column.
302030

It is not possible to combine the last 3 columns as those columns are seperated by commas and in the SQL Loader control file you must ve specified COMMA as an delimiter. So u better have all the columns in the table plus add one more column which holds the concatenation of the 3 columns.

Pre-loader issues in captivate 5.5

HI guys
i have a 1026x768 captivate file with around 150 slides when compiled to medium compression it is around 7mb
it dosnt have any questions pools and no audio, it does have some progessive flvs and a few advanced actions
the problem (and its getting to be a bit of a pain) is that when a user downloads the pre-loader kicks in perfectly
if you are in firefox or safari but in IE no preloader just a white screen and 10/20 seconds later the file appears
can anyone offer any resaon as to why IE9 wont show the preloader. My client is getting jumpy
i have tried writing my own preloader, varying the DL ammount, lowering the file size to low....... and nada.... IE9on captiave 5.5
no preloader
cheers

Hi,
Any progress on this matter? I have a swf with an XML-generated menu. Clicking on the menu is supposed to load an swf, clicking on another menu item is supposed to unload the first swf and then reload another in its place. It does just that, but the amount of memory consumption increases with each click. Looking at the Output during debug reveals that the unloadAndStop is not functioning. It does nothing at all! I've stripped down the code to the essentials to test it, and it looks like this:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
var FlashLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var flashUrl:URLRequest = new URLRequest("complex.swf");
FlashLoader.load(flashUrl);
FlashLoader.x = 120;
addChild(FlashLoader);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, UNLOAD);
function UNLOAD(event:MouseEvent) {
          flashUrl = null;
          FlashLoader.unloadAndStop();
          FlashLoader.unloadAndStop();
          removeChild(FlashLoader);
          stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, UNLOAD);
          stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, RELOAD);
function RELOAD(event:MouseEvent) {
          flashUrl = new URLRequest("complex.swf");
          FlashLoader.load(flashUrl);
          FlashLoader.x = 120;
          addChild(FlashLoader);
          stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, RELOAD);
          stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, UNLOAD);
It's really driving me nuts... note that I've tested this with non-captivate-generated swfs and it works PERFECTLY. Couldn't the Flash Professional team and the Captivate team at least communicate before implementing things?

Sourcing Cockpit Worklist - Failure to pre-load worklist

Hello SRM Experts
We are running SRM 5.00 in an extended classic scenario. I have a question that is bugging me so hopefully you can help.
I have a user who is the sole purchaser in a purchasing group for a specific company code. He is responsible for almost all of the product categories and this has been reflected in the Responsability tab of the Purch Org Structure. Yet when he opens his sourcing cockpit, his worklist is not pre-loaded with the shopping carts awaiting his attention, unlike other purchasers that I have set up in the structure for other company codes. Yet if he uses the Find tab in the sourcing cockpit and specifies his purchasing group, all the shopping carts appear which he then transfers to his worklist which can be irritating having to do every time.
Thanks in advance
Ian

Hi Ian,
So you're saying that you have one user that encounters two problems (worklist and currency) that his colleagues (set up the same way) don't... Well, such user-specific oddities can be a real challenge. It could be difficult to trace the route cause. There're a number of possibilities, including authorization issues (even if you don't see the difference by manual comparison), some inconsistencies in BP-user-org relationships... Some of the things you can try (in no particular order):
a. run an authorization check <SU53> after the problem test (e.g. open worklist with the user, then check <SU53>).
b. run an authorization trace <ST01> during the problem test.
c. check for any BP/org inconsistencies related to your user in <BBP_BP_OM_INTEGRATE> (check all object types). Repair any errors or warnings.
d. have an ABAPer debug through your problem test (give the user debugging authorizations temporarily).
e. open a ticket with SAP Support.
Cheers,
Serguei

CP5 pre-loader questions re: video

Forgive the long post..
I published a Cap 5 project in which the first 4 slides contain short videos. The pre-loader is set to 70%. When playing the course from a server or LMS the initial load ranges from 1 minute to 5 minutes depending on location and computer. After the initial load reaches 70% the first video shows its own loading screen for a few additional seconds and begins to play. Subsequent videos will also show a brief loader before they play. The video and project sizes are as follows:
- Course SWF is 12.5mb
Slide one video is 827kb
Slide two video is 1.2mb
Slide three video is 1.9mb
Slide four video is 950kb
- All videos are encoded F4V
- Project is published from CP5 on a Mac
- Latest Flash player is being used for all user machines
The Problems:
- On high performance machines with fast internet connections, the content loads and plays as expected, however on slightly older machines, or slow connections the playback is jerky and unpredictable
- Playback performance from a web server is generally better than from the SumTotal LMS regardless of the machine capabilities
- On several occasions the audio for the next slide plays simultaneous with the video from the current slide. Also bullets that are synched with the slide and video will fall out of synch. After reloading or using the nav bar to back up, the slide generally plays as expected.
My questions for the community:
1 - Will the pre-loader load F4V videos before playback? Can someone explain what the pre-loader will load what it will not?
2 - If the preloader does not load video, is there a downside to setting the preloader to a minimum number (say 10%) to at least reduce the initial load cycle?
3 - How do I ensure that audio from the next slide will not play on the current slide or video synchronized with timeline elements do not fall out of synch?
Thanks
Jeff

Hi there,
Please find the answers for your questions.
1 - Will the pre-loader load F4V videos before playback? Can someone explain what the pre-loader will load what it will not?
<ashwin> No, preloader only loads the main Movie. Once the slide with video is encountered the Video load is initiated and this loads the video. FLV video and Animations (if they are externalised) are not loaded while preloading the movie.
</ashwin>
2 - If the preloader does not load video, is there a downside to setting the preloader to a minimum number (say 10%) to at least reduce the initial load cycle?
<ashwin> Yes you can do this but i am not sure if this reduces the project loading time. I will try to explain you the way preloader works. A 10% preloader percentage indicates to load 10% of the SWF size, For instance if the SWF size is 12 MB then the project starts to play once 1.2 MB of the project is loaded. So if the project has rich content in the first few slides then loading may take time as it has it has to load the first slide fully to show the first slide. So it all depends on how the project is created and how the content is distributed in the project.
</ashwin>
3 - How do I ensure that audio from the next slide will not play on the current slide or video synchronized with timeline elements do not fall out of synch?
<ashwin>Do you have the audio from first slide to n slides continuously, if thats the case then in the published output a single audio file will be created with the published SWF and is stored in the SWF (In this case we say audio is sitched). So if a preloader is set to 10%, even though only 10% of the movie will be preloaded the entire audio should be loaded which might create sync issues as the movie will have started to play while the audio is being loaded.
To overcome this you may choose to increase the slide time of the slides containing audio by around 0.1 second. This activity will split the audio in the published output and hence will have small audio fragments to load while the movie is loading.If around 20 slides have audio continuously then you can increase the slide time for around 6-7 slides and not all.
</ashwin>
Try them and let me know if this information helped.
Thanks

Vote on (option to pre-load JVM)

Greetings.
I wish to draw your attention to an RFE (request for enhancement) that could use your vote.
The RFE is asking for the jre to have the option of preloading the JVM at startup. Once loaded, the new 'tray icon" service would be responsible for keeping the rt.jar library loaded (which basically means waking up every once in a while and executing something inside of rt.jar).
This would be an option that is turned OFF by DEFAULT. The user would have to go into the java control panel to turn it on.
Why do this you ask? Well I did some extensive testing on cold start times between 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6. See the link at the bottom. The upshot was, that a huge amount of time is spent loading the jvm and rt.jar. All of the lazy loading technologies really didn't help. So, for those willing to have YATI (yet another tray icon), please give the option of preloading the jvm. You see it with other products, like QuickTime...
Please vote and leave your feeback at:
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6346341
The orginal thread that started it all (lots of benchmark data):
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3962327

You have good points. Perhaps it is my ignorance of windows internals - but let me take a stab at this and perhaps clear a couple of things up (for me at least).
1) I think you are correct that the JRE footprint size is an issue especially when you compare it to something like quicktime. In defense of the RFE, it is precisely for that reason that I recommend that the option be off by default.
2 and 3) The tray icon isn't the single JVM of the system. It is an instance of the JVM that is providing a service. Let me take a stab at how I would implement it.
The java tray icon becomes a loading service that pre-caches the jar files in memory and cycles through them (to keep them in memory). When a local JVM instance is invoked, be it a browser or local application that instance of the jvm would query for the existance of the java tray service and if present, use it to load rt.jar etc. from its memory cache.
Hope that makes sense.
-Dennis
Personally I think the idea of pre-loading the jvm
like a tray icon would be a bad thing overall. I see
your point however:
1. First + Foremost java takes up too much memory.
Just running simple hello world apps now take tens of
megabytes to run simply because of the (bloated) size
of the JRE. It's not like quicktime which can load a
stub in < 1 Mb this is a bear
2. What happens when someone calls System.exit()? I'm
guessing your answer is "well the JVM restarts" but
what about all the other apps running on that JVM? It
would kill them too. Beyond that one java app(let)
could start interfering with another java app taking
memory making environment changes etc.
3. Possibly my biggest best reason is that almost all
real commercial java applications need more memory
than the default allocated by just calling 'java ...'
how would we know how much to allocate when starting
the jvm? Or we could allocate at runtime and fragment
memory all to ****. Anyway you get the idea

Pre-loading Oracle text in memory with Oracle 12c

There is a white paper from Roger Ford that explains how to load the Oracle index in memory : http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/mem-load-082296.html
In our application, Oracle 12c, we are indexing a big XML field (which is stored as XMLType with storage secure file) with the PATH_SECTION_GROUP. If I don't load the I table (DR$..$I) into memory using the technique explained in the white paper then I cannot have decent performance (and especially not predictable performance, it looks like if the blocks from the TOKEN_INFO columns are not memory then performance can fall sharply)
But after migrating to oracle 12c, I got a different problem, which I can reproduce: when I create the index it is relatively small (as seen with ctx_report.index_size) and by applying the technique from the whitepaper, I can pin the DR$ I table into memory. But as soon as I do a ctx_ddl.optimize_index('Index','REBUILD') the size becomes much bigger and I can't pin the index in memory. Not sure if it is bug or not.
What I found as work-around is to build the index with the following storage options:
ctx_ddl.create_preference('TEST_STO','BASIC_STORAGE');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute ('TEST_STO', 'BIG_IO', 'YES' );
ctx_ddl.set_attribute ('TEST_STO', 'SEPARATE_OFFSETS', 'NO' );
so that the token_info column will be stored in a secure file. Then I can change the storage of that column to put it in the keep buffer cache, and write a procedure to read the LOB so that it will be loaded in the keep cache. The size of the LOB column is more or less the same as when creating the index without the BIG_IO option but it remains constant even after a ctx_dll.optimize_index. The procedure to read the LOB and to load it into the cache is very similar to the loaddollarR procedure from the white paper.
Because of the SDATA section, there is a new DR table (S table) and an IOT on top of it. This is not documented in the white paper (the white paper was written for Oracle 10g). In my case this DR$ S table is much used, and the IOT also, but putting it in the keep cache is not as important as the token_info column of the DR I table. A final note: doing SEPARATE_OFFSETS = 'YES' was very bad in my case, the combined size of the two columns is much bigger than having only the TOKEN_INFO column and both columns are read.
Here is an example on how to reproduce the problem with the size increasing when doing ctx_optimize
1. create the table
drop table test;
CREATE TABLE test
(ID NUMBER(9,0) NOT NULL ENABLE,
XML_DATA XMLTYPE
XMLTYPE COLUMN XML_DATA STORE AS SECUREFILE BINARY XML (tablespace users disable storage in row);
2. insert a few records
insert into test values(1,'<Book><TITLE>Tale of Two Cities</TITLE>It was the best of times.<Author NAME="Charles Dickens"> Born in England in the town, Stratford_Upon_Avon </Author></Book>');
insert into test values(2,'<BOOK><TITLE>The House of Mirth</TITLE>Written in 1905<Author NAME="Edith Wharton"> Wharton was born to George Frederic Jones and Lucretia Stevens Rhinelander in New York City.</Author></BOOK>');
insert into test values(3,'<BOOK><TITLE>Age of innocence</TITLE>She got a prize for it.<Author NAME="Edith Wharton"> Wharton was born to George Frederic Jones and Lucretia Stevens Rhinelander in New York City.</Author></BOOK>');
3. create the text index
drop index i_test;
exec ctx_ddl.create_section_group('TEST_SGP','PATH_SECTION_GROUP');
begin
CTX_DDL.ADD_SDATA_SECTION(group_name => 'TEST_SGP',
                            section_name => 'SData_02',
                            tag => 'SData_02',
                            datatype => 'varchar2');
end;
exec ctx_ddl.create_preference('TEST_STO','BASIC_STORAGE');
exec ctx_ddl.set_attribute('TEST_STO','I_TABLE_CLAUSE','tablespace USERS storage (initial 64K)');
exec ctx_ddl.set_attribute('TEST_STO','I_INDEX_CLAUSE','tablespace USERS storage (initial 64K) compress 2');
exec ctx_ddl.set_attribute ('TEST_STO', 'BIG_IO', 'NO' );
exec ctx_ddl.set_attribute ('TEST_STO', 'SEPARATE_OFFSETS', 'NO' );
create index I_TEST
on TEST (XML_DATA)
indextype is ctxsys.context
parameters('
    section group   "TEST_SGP"
    storage         "TEST_STO"
') parallel 2;
4. check the index size
select ctx_report.index_size('I_TEST') from dual;
it says :
TOTALS FOR INDEX TEST.I_TEST
TOTAL BLOCKS ALLOCATED:                                                104
TOTAL BLOCKS USED:                                                      72
TOTAL BYTES ALLOCATED:                                 851,968 (832.00 KB)
TOTAL BYTES USED:                                      589,824 (576.00 KB)
4. optimize the index
exec ctx_ddl.optimize_index('I_TEST','REBUILD');
and now recompute the size, it says
TOTALS FOR INDEX TEST.I_TEST
TOTAL BLOCKS ALLOCATED:                                               1112
TOTAL BLOCKS USED:                                                    1080
TOTAL BYTES ALLOCATED:                                 9,109,504 (8.69 MB)
TOTAL BYTES USED:                                      8,847,360 (8.44 MB)
which shows that it went from 576KB to 8.44MB. With a big index the difference is not so big, but still from 14G to 19G.
5. Workaround: use the BIG_IO option, so that the token_info column of the DR$ I table will be stored in a secure file and the size will stay relatively small. Then you can load this column in the cache using a procedure similar to
alter table DR$I_TEST$I storage (buffer_pool keep);
alter table dr$i_test$i modify lob(token_info) (cache storage (buffer_pool keep));
rem: now we must read the lob so that it will be loaded in the keep buffer pool, use the prccedure below
create or replace procedure loadTokenInfo is
type c_type is ref cursor;
c2 c_type;
s varchar2(2000);
b blob;
buff varchar2(100);
siz number;
off number;
cntr number;
begin
    s := 'select token_info from DR$i_test$I';
    open c2 for s;
    loop
       fetch c2 into b;
       exit when c2%notfound;
       siz := 10;
       off := 1;
       cntr := 0;
       if dbms_lob.getlength(b) > 0 then
         begin
           loop
             dbms_lob.read(b, siz, off, buff);
             cntr := cntr + 1;
             off := off + 4096;
           end loop;
         exception when no_data_found then
           if cntr > 0 then
             dbms_output.put_line('4K chunks fetched: '||cntr);
           end if;
         end;
       end if;
    end loop;
end;
Rgds, Pierre

I have been working a lot on that issue recently, I can give some more info.
First I totally agree with you, I don't like to use the keep_pool and I would love to avoid it. On the other hand, we have a specific use case : 90% of the activity in the DB is done by queuing and dbms_scheduler jobs where response time does not matter. All those processes are probably filling the buffer cache. We have a customer facing application that uses the text index to search the database : performance is critical for them.
What kind of performance do you have with your application ?
In my case, I have learned the hard way that having the index in memory (the DR$I table in fact) is the key : if it is not, then performance is poor. I find it reasonable to pin the DR$I table in memory and if you look at competitors this is what they do. With MongoDB they explicitly says that the index must be in memory. With elasticsearch, they use JVM's that are also in memory. And effectively, if you look at the awr report, you will see that Oracle is continuously accessing the DR$I table, there is a SQL similar to
SELECT /*+ DYNAMIC_SAMPLING(0) INDEX(i) */
TOKEN_FIRST, TOKEN_LAST, TOKEN_COUNT, ROWID
FROM DR$idxname$I
WHERE TOKEN_TEXT = :word AND TOKEN_TYPE = :wtype
ORDER BY TOKEN_TEXT, TOKEN_TYPE, TOKEN_FIRST
which is continuously done.
I think that the algorithm used by Oracle to keep blocks in cache is too complex. A just realized that in 12.1.0.2 (was released last week) there is finally a "killer" functionality, the in-memory parameters, with which you can pin tables or columns in memory with compression, etc. this looks ideal for the text index, I hope that R. Ford will finally update his white paper :-)
But my other problem was that the optimize_index in REBUILD mode caused the DR$I table to double in size : it seems crazy that this was closed as not a bug but it was and I can't do anything about it. It is a bug in my opinion, because the create index command and "alter index rebuild" command both result in a much smaller index, so why would the guys that developped the optimize function (is it another team, using another algorithm ?) make the index two times bigger ?
And for that the track I have been following is to put the index in a 16K tablespace : in this case the space used by the index remains more or less flat (increases but much more reasonably). The difficulty here is to pin the index in memory because the trick of R. Ford was not working anymore.
What worked:
first set the keep_pool to zero and set the db_16k_cache_size to instead. Then change the storage preference to make sure that everything you want to cache (mostly the DR$I) table come in the tablespace with the non-standard block size of 16k.
Then comes the tricky part : the pre-loading of the data in the buffer cache. The problem is that with Oracle 12c, Oracle will use direct_path_read for FTS which basically means that it bypasses the cache and read directory from file to the PGA !!! There is an event to avoid that, I was lucky to find it on a blog (I can't remember which, sorry for the credit).
I ended-up doing that. the events to 10949 is to avoid the direct path reads issue.
alter session set events '10949 trace name context forever, level 1';
alter table DR#idxname0001$I cache;
alter table DR#idxname0002$I cache;
alter table DR#idxname0003$I cache;
SELECT /*+ FULL(ITAB) CACHE(ITAB) */ SUM(TOKEN_COUNT), SUM(LENGTH(TOKEN_INFO)) FROM DR#idxname0001$I;
SELECT /*+ FULL(ITAB) CACHE(ITAB) */ SUM(TOKEN_COUNT), SUM(LENGTH(TOKEN_INFO)) FROM DR#idxname0002$I;
SELECT /*+ FULL(ITAB) CACHE(ITAB) */ SUM(TOKEN_COUNT), SUM(LENGTH(TOKEN_INFO)) FROM DR#idxname0003$I;
SELECT /*+ INDEX(ITAB) CACHE(ITAB) */ SUM(LENGTH(TOKEN_TEXT)) FROM DR#idxname0001$I ITAB;
SELECT /*+ INDEX(ITAB) CACHE(ITAB) */ SUM(LENGTH(TOKEN_TEXT)) FROM DR#idxname0002$I ITAB;
SELECT /*+ INDEX(ITAB) CACHE(ITAB) */ SUM(LENGTH(TOKEN_TEXT)) FROM DR#idxname0003$I ITAB;
It worked. With a big relief I expected to take some time out, but there was a last surprise. The command
exec ctx_ddl.optimize_index(idx_name=>'idxname',part_name=>'partname',optlevel=>'REBUILD');
gqve the following
ERROR at line 1:

Which is very much exactly described in a metalink note 1645634.1 but in the case of a non-partitioned index. The work-around given seemed very logical but it did not work in the case of a partitioned index. After experimenting, I found out that the bug occurs when the partitioned index is created with dbms_pclxutil.build_part_index procedure (this enables enables intra-partition parallelism in the index creation process). This is a very annoying and stupid bug, maybe there is a work-around, but did not find it on metalink
Other points of attention with the text index creation (stuff that surprised me at first !) ;
- if you use the dbms_pclxutil package, then the ctx_output logging does not work, because the index is created immediately and then populated in the background via dbms_jobs.
- this in combination with the fact that if you are on a RAC, you won't see any activity on the box can be very frightening : this is because oracle can choose to start the workers on the other node.
I understand much better how the text indexing works, I think it is a great technology which can scale via partitioning. But like always the design of the application is crucial, most of our problems come from the fact that we did not choose the right sectioning (we choosed PATH_SECTION_GROUP while XML_SECTION_GROUP is so much better IMO). Maybe later I can convince the dev to change the sectionining, especially because SDATA and MDATA section are not supported with PATCH_SECTION_GROUP (although it seems to work, even though we had one occurence of a bad result linked to the existence of SDATA in the index definition). Also the whole problematic of mixed structured/unstructured searches is completly tackled if one use XML_SECTION_GROUP with MDATA/SDATA (but of course the app was written for Oracle 10...)

2600 Classic, pre-installed games

My 2600 Classic (on AT&T Wireless) came with 3 pre-installed game demos, one of which was Tetris. Following the links in the phone, I purchased the registered version of Tetris. I was charged $6.99 USD, the game downloaded, and a screen came up that said the application was now unlocked. When I tried to start the game there was an error that said that my license was unable to be validated. After fighting with it for a while and checking all of my network settings, I called AT&T Tech Support. Get this one... They said that Tetris is not compatible with the Nokia 2600 Classic model phone. What a load of **bleep**, Nokia pre-installed the game to begin with. Nokia has been the only mobile phone brand that I have ever purchased. In about 15 years, I am on my 6th Nokia phone. It is really dissapointing to see just how poor their selection of bar phones has become. This model doesn't even have a calculator any more.

Hi,
Ive looked on a few download sites for the tetris game and it does not seem to be compatable with the Nokia 2600 like you say.
Maybe you could contact Nokia or at&t and plead your case for a refund on the download fee. Its down to who put the game software on ! Obviously not java supported.
Silly to impose a demo game on a fone and then does not allow an upgrade.
Nokia Lumia 520
 iphone 6 Plus.
Be happy !!

Irritated at one single issue. (Pre loaded games)
