Method to Use in Creating a Database--need assistance

I'm new to Oracle Apex and would like to create a database. Let me tell you the scenario. Iim capturing 4 types of informatoin initially from focus groups, survey results, blog post, and drop off surveys. I would like to input the informtion gathered from each session in each table ,some tables with common fields. Then I would like to maintain one master table which would have all fields. At some point, i would like to reference the common fields in each database. What's the best way to approach this? Maybe i do not need multiple tables--maybe I can have one large application and form a report to pull the information. However, I think the recommendation was to make 4 separate tables--please advise

However, I think the recommendation was to make 4 separate tables--please adviseI'd advise you to google "data normalization" and get familiar with the concept of 'normalizing' your data to "third normal form" (aka TNF or 3NF). A proper analysis of your data, and how the different data elements will dictate how many tables, what they contain, and how they relate. I can almost guarantee trying to use a single table is a mistake. That's why we call them relational databases, not just data dumps.

  • OIM11g: Is there a way to find out what method is used to create user

    Hello,
    I have a user pre-create event handler that gets called every time a user is created in OIM. In here, is there any way to find out if the user is created by self-service request, admin, or by an external client that used UserManager API? How can the Orchestration parameter be used to get this information?

  • How to create a warm full chorus effect on a vocal track? What effects, plugins or methods to use?

    Hey, I am using Logic pro 9 and have been for quite sometime now. The reason I am here today is because I want to know how to create a warm, more full, (almost doubling) chorus effect for my vocal hooks for the hip-hop tracks that I create. I have always heard that type of effect on hooks and never knew how they did it. For example in this song (This song is not my song, excuse the language but this is the type of effect i am looking for. Go to 1:12 of the song)
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aok9Hq7GQ4
    This is what I am looking for. PLEASE SOME ONE HELP I WOULD REALLY APPRICATEIT!! Thanks

    True, the equipment that I am using does matter and at the moment I am only using a usb microphone with no pre amps or audio interface. I was asking that question to know what methods people use to create that chorus  effect. What I did for the time being until I get my new set up I had a main vocal track that was centered and had no effect on it, then made 2 other copies so I had 3 tracks all together I panned one track all the way left and the other track all the way right then I applied the stereo spreader to the two copied tracks and turned the mix 76% channel delay 250 same intensity 100% and speed 1.644 Hz. Then I manually moved the tracks so that the left panned track came first then the main track then the right panned track. It was very small moves not to the point were you could tell just gave it that chorus effect. Do you think those were the right things to do? So its close almost there and maybe with the new setup it will be what I am looking for. But PLEASE KEEP COMMENTING EVERYONE HAS THERE OWN METHODS I AM CURIOUS TO KNOW YOURS!

    Hi, all.
    When I using the Create Direct Database Request, how can I specify a variable which can used to receive multiple input value?
    My SQL like this:
    select... from table t1 where t1.c1 in('@{v_c1}{001})
    where, v_c1 is the variabe name, 001 is the defaut value of the variable.
    But, it doesn' work.
    If it's the systax error, then how can I correct it?
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi katherine,
    Your connection pool should look like this "DEV_BI"."Connection Pool"
    Second thing is go to Administration/Manage privileages/Direct database privileage is there.
    If you want to use variables into your SQL query follow this link

  • Oracle Database Configuration Assistant on Oracle Express Edition

    I've just installed Oracle 10.2 Express Edition on a Windows XP Professional SP2.
    Can anybody please tell me if it is possible to install the Database Configuration Assistant and how to do this? I just found some references about installing ODCA using oracle installer, however this is not available with the Express Edition
    thanks
    Pietro

    DBCA is used to create new databases under the software of an existing home, or to add and remove features with a database.
    Oracle Database 10g Express Edition software does not permit multiple databases (it only allows SID XE) nor does it permit adding or removing features. SO DBCA is not useful, not required - or included - with XE.
    What are you trying to accomplish? (Multiple databases ALA SQL Server sense are done by separate Schema's in Oracle)

  • Not able to create a database link using the database gateway of oracle 11g

    HI,
    While trying to create a database link to SQL server from Oracle ,using the database gateway provided with 11g, i am getting the following error while making use of it in selecting columns from tables :
    Error starting at line 1 in command:
    select * from test1@dblink
    Error at Command Line:1 Column:20
    Error report:
    SQL Error: ORA-28513: internal error in heterogeneous remote agent
    ORA-02063: preceding line from DBLINK
    These are the steps i have followed for setting up:
    1.Ran the set up for the Database gateway.and mentioned the SQL server name and database .ALos set up a listener.
    2. Added the following in the Listener.ora of Oraclehome 11/NETWORK/ADMIN:
    LISTENER_SQL_FCD =
    (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST =localhost) (PORT = 1541)
    SID_LIST_LISTENER_SQL_FCD =
    (SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
    (SID_NAME=dg4msql)
    (ORACLE_HOME= D:\app\20537\product\11.1.0\db_3)
    (PROGRAM=dg4msql)
    3.Added the following in tnsnames.ora inOracle home/NETWORK/ADMIN:
    dg4msql=
    (DESCRIPTION=
    (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=localhost)(PORT=1541))
    (CONNECT_DATA=(SID=dg4msql))
    (HS=OK)
    4. Following is the entry in initdg4msql.ora in C:\product\11.1.0\tg_5\dg4msql\admin:
    HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=10.148.45.242:1433//SalesDemo
    HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL=DEBUG
    HS_FDS_RECOVERY_ACCOUNT=RECOVER
    HS_FDS_RECOVERY_PWD=RECOVER
    5. Created the database link :
    create database link dblink
    connect to "sa" identified by "<pswd>"
    using 'dg4msql'
    On running :select * from test1@dblink i get the following error:
    Error starting at line 1 in command:
    select * from test1@dblink
    Error at Command Line:1 Column:20
    Error report:
    SQL Error: ORA-28513: internal error in heterogeneous remote agent
    ORA-02063: preceding line from DBLINK
    Is there any issue with the set or definition that I get the above error?

    What is the version of the Oracle database in which you have specified/and use the database link?
    If it is for example 10.2.0.3.0 you need to apply the mandatory patch for RDBMS bug 5965763 first before being able to use an 11g gateway. Have a look at MetaLink note 457808.1 for details about this patch.

  • How can I create a database from a sharepoint using entity framework

    Hello All,
    I want to develop a data base from SharePoint list independently. The column name are based on a SharePoint list eg: Contact-list (will be having 10 columns)
    can any one please suggest me an idea on how to do this task? Which Visual Studio template is suitable for this purpose?
    I confused with starting with following Visual studio template!!!
    Empty SharePoint Project??, Business Data Connectivity Model??, ASP.Net Web application??
    Somebody please help me soon....
    I am using SharePoint 2010 and Visual Studio 2010

    Hey,
    basically you should start with an empty SharePoint 2010 project where you add an List-EventReceiver. This Receiver should point to the url of the list and handle the ItemAdded-Event. In this method you place the code to create the database, for example
    with a SQL-Statement.

  • What levels of Acrobat are needed to use forms created in Acrobat Pro 9?

    What levels of Acrobat are needed to use forms created in Acrobat Pro 9? I want to use my form as a job ticket but want to know what levels of adobe reader are needed for the end users to be able to fill out & submit the forms without any problems.

    Reader 7 and higher should be able to fill out forms and submit if the pdf format allows Reader 7 to fill out the form. However, without problems is a different issue. Submission of forms via email is ALWAYS a problem. It is always better to post the form on a website and have the form filled out on the web and have the data stored or sent to a database for further action.

  • How to create a database using LabView?

    Hy
    I have to do a project in which i have to create a database with the situation of the students (name,age...) using ONLY LabView.I need to enter tha students using labview, to save the database using labview.... I have to figure it out how to do this, but .... no idea. Also i have to make a search in that database. If you can help me, i apreciate that or if you know a link on the web about something like this
    Thanks,
    Lorant

    Labview configuration files are very easy to use and can hold any type of information you wish.  There are functions in the File palette ready to use for configuration files.  A configuration file is similar to a registry entry.  You can have sections and keys.  So you can create a section called "Data1" and keys called "Name", "Age", etc.  Create the same for a new section called "Data2", and so on.  The functions are useful for writing the config file and reading from the file.  To read a certain piece of data, just supply the section name and the key name.  So you could ask for section "Data20", key "Name", and you would get the 20th name in the database (config file).  This way you don't have to write code to search the database for certain items, the functions do it for you and they are already written.  Look into config files.  They are very easy to use, very useful, and very underused even by the most experienced LV programmer.

  • EJB newbie -- do i need to create the database?

    I know this may seem an odd question but do i need to create a database and create all the tables with commands such as: CREATE TABLE (...)? or will the deployment descriptor do that for me?
    clarkie

    if u are using entity beans there is no need to create database.
    u can make use of create function of the entity beans...if u are using bmp u need to write explicitly the code(sql code) for creating the database
    if u r using cmp u dont need to explicitly write the code for creating the table

  • Trouble creating a database in MySQL using java

    Hi all,
    I am trying to create a program that connects to MySQL and can create databases, tables etc. I can connect to MySQL using the program but I cannot create a database (however if i create the database with the command line i can create tables in the database).
    When I try to create a database i get the error
    com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: Unknown database 'persondatabase'Here is the code:
    import java.sql.*;
    class Connect {
    public Connect() {
    public Connection connectToMySQL(String database_name) {
      Connection con = null;
      try {
       Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
       con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql:///persondatabase", "", "");
      catch(ClassNotFoundException e) { System.out.println(e); }
      catch(InstantiationException e) { System.out.println(e); }
      catch(SQLException e) { System.out.println(e); }
      finally {
       return con;
    public void createDatabase(String database_name) {
      Connection con = null;
      Statement stmt = null;
      try {
       con = connectToMySQL(null);  //connect to mysql but not to any one databases
       con.setAutoCommit(false);
       if(!con.isClosed())
        System.out.println("Connected to MySQL. Creating the Database " + database_name);
       String str = "CREATE DATABASE " + database_name;
       stmt = con.createStatement();
       stmt.executeUpdate(str);
       con.commit();
      catch (Exception e2) { }
      finally {
       try {
        stmt.close();
        con.close();
       }catch (Exception e3) { }

      Connection con = null;
      Statement stmt = null;
      try {

        con.close();
       }catch (Exception e3) {  }
    }I am wondering if anyone can see where im going wrong? I am currently connecting with an anon account to MySQL.
    Here is the program I am using to test the above:
    class ConnectionTester {
    public ConnectionTester() {
      Connect s = new Connect();
      s.createDatabase("PersonDatabase");  //this throws the error
      //s.createPersonDetailsTable("PersonDatabase", "PersonDetails");
    public static void main(String[] arg) {
      ConnectionTester start = new ConnectionTester();
    }

    you should rethink whether you need to create a database using java. personally i think it's a bad idea. your database should exist and the schema should be ready to go when your app starts. why do you think you need to create one?

  • How to use MySQL to create a database

    I downloaded MySQL and opened the folder and saw a plethora of files. I'm lost and don't know where to start. I want to create a database. Any suggestions? I have dreamweaver cs5. My computer is a mac book pro OS10.6.8.

    To amplify osgood_'s excllent suggestions - MySQL is a database application that runs, typically, in a server environment. Full stop.
    This is not a simple "install the app and everything's good" type of program. Please do more research before attempting to install it. Also understand the security implications of running a database on a server (or even locally) and learn how to lock it down. Finally, to install and run MySQL locally, you better get really good with Terminal.app and learn how to launch MySQL and configure it from the command line.
    I personally use MAMP (Mac Apache MySQL and PHP - see http://www.mamp.info/) to do MySQL/PHP development and testing as it doesn't mess with the internals of my machine, keeps everything in a MAMP folder in my Applications folder, and it has a control panel for easy start/stop of Apache/MySQL services.
    Not trying to squash your dreams of running MySQL locally but you do need more "domain" knowledge before doing so.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can Adobe Muse be used to create database driven websites?

    Can Adobe Muse be used to create database driven websites, or is it only through "replace image through browse from your computer".

    Hi Edgard,
    I am afraid that this is not possible in Muse at this stage, I will recommend that you post this on our ideas section over here, Ideas for features in Adobe Muse, and let our devs team know of this requirement.
    In muse you can only design static content. For any dynamic content that you need to render via DB, you will need to write custom code and insert it in Muse via 'object -> insert html' option or 'properties -> metadata -> html for head' option.

  • Use Apex to create 2nd database

    I already have Oracle 10g and Apex working fine on my Windows XP box.
    Now my user has altered their requirements causing me to need to create a 2nd "database" using same named tables as already exist in my 1st "database".
    Can this be done? Am I using the correct terminology saying "database" rather than maybe "connection"?

    I created a PHP system for them using their Oracle 6 database tables. They have now upgraded their environment to Oracle 7 with, I suspect, some alterations to their column names.
    On my development machine I have a connection to s6s which is equavelent to their 1st version. I now want to create s7s containing the same tables as the s6s and carry on developing on that. I do not want to loose the s6s as the maintenance/support I have to do may well require this.
    I hope that the above is a bit more clear.
