Just A Thought About Database I/O

I was just thinking about the database in Lightroom and came upon a question that I hope I can ask clearly. Let's say I have an image open in the Develop module, and let's say that I click and drag on the Blacks slider. When I move that slider to make changes to the Blacks value, is Lightroom recording to the database
every change to the Blacks value, or just the final value after I have finished moving the slider?
Or, let's say that I am typing in a value for Blacks. If I want to type "10" for the Blacks value, is Lightroom recording to the database "1" and then "10" as I type it in, or is it just recording "10"?
I guess what I'm getting at is Lightroom making these intermediate writes to the database, and if so, why? Is Lightroom writing to the database with that fine a resolution? If so, that may account for some of the slow performance experienced by so many reporting on this Forum.
If not, then never mind my bizarre thinking... maybe I'm just tired.

>... LR has started pumping the brakes after only 10K in imports. I'm now wondering how it'll respond when I hit the 100K marker??
I stand to correct this observation. Although hard wired to a gigabit network drive, my MAC seemed to slow down when it hit 10K in imports. Actually, what happened is that my MAC switched access over to my Airport card. I've disabled wireless and now ingestion and processing is as fast as when my DB was under 10K in imports. I regret not having caught this earlier.
I'm now up to 20K and LR is still ingesting at sufficient speeds. Not too shabby for a v1.0 product. Hats off to the MAC team. :-)

Just fancy asking some questions which i have never really thought about

I just fancied asking some basic questions which i have never really thought about, but suppose i should know.
The first one is:
A java program is executed through the main method
public static void main(String[] args)So this method is passed a String array but i never pass the array to it, so who does?
And secondly, you can have variables of type int and variables of type Integer. What is the difference?
thanks

I'll take a stab with some overly-simplistic answers. Corrections most welcome.
A java program is executed through the main method
public static void main(String[] args)So this method is passed a String array but i never pass the array to it, so who does?The OS passes the parameters to the JVM and the JVM calls the main method with the parameters from the OS.
And secondly, you can have variables of type int and variables of type Integer. What is the difference?Integer is a wrapper class for the primitive int type. It allows you to use int-type concepts in places where an Object is required. But don't over-use these as there is a memory and performance overhead that must be taken into consideration.

Speakerphone dynamics.....Just a thought.

I wonder - is the volume problem with the speaker phone Apples way of handling feedback? With my limited experience with sound reinforcement depending on where you set a mic and a speaker and what they are facing could change their characteristics. When the bottom of the phone facing a hard structure like a wall or a hand it could cause feedback and apple must have anti-feedback character electronics lowering the volume. With nothing obstructing the bottom of the phone it should be less of a feedback problem and thus louder volume because no feedback issues.
(try the iPhone on a table that has no obstruction in front of the bottom of the handset and test your volume)
With cells or land line phones that have speaker phone capabilities and even car speaker phone kits feedback is always an issue and depending on where the speaker is compared to the mic will make a large difference. (like the Razr Vxx with the speaker on the opposite side of the microphone and it's great volume on their speaker phone)
Why Apple or someone representing Apple here isn't address this issue we are left to guess and get more frustrated until others can come up with explanations (like me) as to what the issues are and how to address them.
I guess that if Apple had an official response on this forum way too many people would respond with their perceived problems and real issues as to Apple inability to address their hardware. Apple hasn't come up with a Pandora's box that closes automatically.
Just a thought and lets test your iPhones on our new "Table" test with your iPhone and get back to us.

I always have to go back to email to check that those aren't new emails....ones that came after I deleted the ones I just read. (I hope that made sense!) I wish that when I go to email, read it, then delete it, that it shows no email on my homepage. But that's the "problem". I HAVE TO refresh the homepage to make it current. (otherwise it still shows that I have email that I just deleted) It's not a big deal, it just bugs me..frankly. And I know there must be a way to fix that.

Have you guys thought about as an option to upgrade nvidia 8800 GS.etc

have you guys thought about as an option to upgrade nvidia 8800 GS to nvidia 200 series,nvidia gtx 260 and 280 model's for the 3ghz+ intel imac and your next gen line or even your towers as well even funcom and gear works are behind it 100% just as a suggestion but fairly reasonable one

A thought about Apple...

Ok so here it is;
i LOVE my macs & think apple are great...but, what's going on?!?! as mac users we're suppose to be limited in our technical/software problems but since 10.4.9 it doesnt seem the case. im running 10.4.9 on my imac & everything has slowed down since the update from 10.4.8. I understand that no technoligical device is free from potential problems but is would seem as the popularity of the mac has increased so has the problems. are we to face viruses & spyware soon?
i bought a macbook the other day & in the 45mins or so i was in the store 2 imacs were sold; a 17" & a 20". i asked one of the sales staff how mac sales were & he said they were selling25-30 mac per week which is pretty good for this store!
is the increasing demand meaning a fall in the 'quality'?
for the record i will never use another computer appart from a mac but i am feeling that maybe the demand maybe out stripping the support?....
no specific question here, just a thought...

I've been an exclusive Mac user since 1986. We have an all-mac household with two laptops and an imac. I help run an apple-driven research lab. I've been "approving" of the Mac for more than 20 years, with my ow dollars and my institution's dollars.
One of the main reasons to go with apple has always been ease of use and reliability--as in the "i'm a Mac" ads Apple runs. The message is "buy a mac, and avoid the headaches." Apple notifies you via system update of a new release, and encourages you to download and install it via system update. I've done it dozens of times without incident.
In this case, they released an update which has caused crucial aspects of the Macs funtionality--crucial for my job--to stop working, for me and apparently many other people. Now, what else should I use a support forum for, but to ask about the problem and try to find a solution? Should I post saying instead "I just want users to know that there is something wrong with me or my computer, because the new system update, which must be perfect because it came from apple,is not running perfectly
OF COURSE it's possible that the probe lies with third party vendors--although in my case, the vendor is blaming apple, ad as far as I can tell they are right to. My audio nterface orked fne before the ugrade--if Apple is gng to release a udate tat canges something this dramatically, it should notify the vedors, no?
But in the end it doesn't matter--Apple sells customers on a seamless, painless experience, on ease of use. When it doesn't deliver, no one should be surprised by irritated posts.

Few basic questions about database administration

Hello,
I have a few basic questions about database administration.
1. I switched one of my oracle instances to archivelog mode. I just cannot locate the archive log files on my windows system. The %ora_home%/ora92/database/archive directory is desperately empty...
2.What is the tools01.dbf datafile used for?
3.What is the undotbso1.dbf datafile used for?
Thanks in advance,
Julien.

1. The archive log location needs to be specified in your init.ora file. By default, Oracle will place the archive files in either ORACLE_HOME/dbs or ORACLE_HOME/database.
2. The tools01.dbf file belongs to the tools tablespace which should be set as the default tablespace for system. It primary purpose is to hold Oracle Forms and Reports database objects, however, it should also be used for holding other non sys database objects such as the perfstat (statspack) or other third party database schemas e.g. quests sqllab.
3. undotbs01.dbf file belongs to the undo tablespace.

ZCM Device Map Designer or something, just a thought

Hi!
Very useful option is to have Novell iPrint Map Designer with OES. So, I thought useful could be also something like this for ZCM devices? I mean, could be much easier for admins to find clickable devices reflected on building map, sometimes! Also, for admin substitutes (for vacation etc.) and general view. Anyway, just a thought. Of course, not very hard to do it wo special tool.
Anyway, yes, did write a few lines for Novell.

This is what Conan's editors thought about FCPX

I thought this was so enjoyable to watch.

For this one, I would turn the ad-blocking OFF and just sit though about 30 sec.of whatever ad is run (I've seen two different ones, but do not recall either), to see the piece. They "played it straight," but with humorous effect. Worth the effort IMHO.

Industrial engineer study about Database System

Hello, i'm Industrial engineering student now. I want to ask all of you. Is valuabel if i learn about Database System in my major?

Oh i'm sorry about that. Now i'm studying Industrial Engineering in scholar Program. I live in Indonesia. As employee, Industrial engineer can improve efficiency in many aspect in the enterprise. So, is there any chance that i can improve efficiency Database System? Coz, in semester 5 i had study about Information System.On one contracting job, my boss had been an industrial engineer, so then he was a project lead. We became good friends, even though he introduced me to my wife :-) (wife's stepfather and he had worked together at an aerospace company previously). Certainly his background helped in project implementation.
As to improving database system efficiency, it is yes and no. No, you aren't likely to get into internals and compete against people with CS doctorates, but yes because applications do need an eye towards efficiency, and applications are where the money goes. As with so many things, it's the combination of technical ability and another kind of analytical ability that make you valuable to business. Business analysis goes through cycles and fads, what was once called business process reengineering will be called something else and have its gurus (just this morning I got an email about how BPM can improve my business). Just don't fall for any pie-in-the-sky internet entrepreneurs who promise to have the next SAP, go mainstream first, with at least what we in the US call a Masters degree.

Re: iTunes has stopped working. Why?
Sep 11, 2013 6:07 AM (in response to thurdy)
Resolved!
After contacting Apple, I received a reply from their engineers:
Copy QTMovieWin.dll from: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
to: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
And that did the trick.

After upgrading to 10.7.2, my iMac works fine for 40-50 minutes, then slows to a crawl. Restart gets back to normal, then 40 minutes later need to restart again. Thought about reinstalling Lion through Lion Recovery, but says my hard disk is locked?

Launch the Terminal app in /Utilities/, run these two commands (copy & paste each one separately and hit the return key):
sudo chflags 0 /volumes/*
sudo chmod a+rx /volumes/*
at the Password: prompt, type in your admin password, carefully since nothing displays on the screen, and hit the return key. These should unlock your drives. You might have to restart.

HT4623 The software update option is not on my phone. It just goes from "about" to "usage". I have an iPhone 3G. Every time I try to update it on iTunes, nothing changes. I have version 4.2.1, no matter what I do. Any suggestions?

I have an iPhone 3G, and cannot update my iOS. In the General tab, "Upadate Software" is not even there. It just goes from "About" to "Usage". When I try to update on iTunes, it always remains the same. iOS 4.2.1. Any suggestions? (My PC uses Windows XP). Also, my WiFi has completely quit working. Works fine on the other iPhones in the house, as well as the XBox 360, so I am sure it's my phone. I tried everything I could think of, including restoring the iphone to factory settings & then updating, but no luck. Thank you! for any help you can give! I plan to get an iPhone 5, but wasn't ready to do it quite yet. Hopefully my phone can be rescued until I'm ready.

That is the highest you will be able to go with 3g. You need 3gs or 4 to go any higher (multi processors and more memory needed). Version 4.2.1 marks the end of your updates for that device.

My disc drive on my imac does not appear to be working. It takes the disc in but then spits it out without reading it. I have thought about purchasing an external disc drive, can someone advise me please?

Try the following:
In Finder, select the problematic volume and then press command-I.
Expand the Sharing & permissions section if it's collapsed.
If the section is locked, then unlock it by pressing the padlock button and then authenticating as directed.
Tick/check Ignore ownership on this volume.

Just some thoughts

Just some thoughts.
Adobe says that piracy is one of the reasons for going to the cloud. CC has to verify the subscription periodically why not add that process to the perpetual license for a nominal yearly fee. On the other hand, why can't a user subscribe to CC for a month to get the latest version and then go on the web to get a crack?
I also own, unless they go to a subscription, Elements 10. Lots of functions that CS6 has for photo enhancements. I found some plugins that really enhance Elements. e.g. ElementsXXL adds new menu items, icons, buttons, key shortcuts and dialogs, so they seamlessly integrate into the user interface of Photoshop Elements. ElementsXXL bridges the gap between Photoshop Elements and Photoshop and greatly enhances the image editing experience in Photoshop Elements.
I am sure other plugins will appear to make Elements more like Photoshop.

"Adobe says that piracy is one of the reasons for going to the cloud. CC has to verify the subscription periodically why not add that process to the perpetual license for a nominal yearly fee."
Why on earth would anyone want to pay a "nominal yearly fee" for another nuisance created by Adobe. They can already shut down perpetual license holder's software if they pull the plug on the activation servers. Don't you know that their servers check our software now as it is?
Just recently with the release of the CS2 software to previous owners, many people could no longer use their already-installed CS2 software because Adobe's CS2 servers were shut down. What does that tell you?
I'm not going the way of cruising the internet for cracks. That's for disillusioned kids who think everything should be free. When my CS6 software no longer works I'm going with another company. Probably Corel for some of the programs. CorelDRAW was always better than Illustrator anyway. Industry standard doesn't always mean it's great. It just means everyone is using it and they expect you to do as well. Personally, I think Macromedia made better software before Adobe took them over and MM software was a lot cheaper.
