MS Visual C++/Delphi 7 and multiple db connections/sessions

I've been reviewing peformance problems with an app that was written in MS Visual C++/Delphi 7. It was originally written to use SQL Server but has since also been ported to run on Oracle. The problem (well, at least one of them) is that each screen can have multiple controls on it (various OCX's and the like) and when any of the controls needs to get data from the database, it opens its own connection. The C++ controls and the Delphi controls can't share a connection so the app will have to have at least two connections no matter what.
But my question is, how do you create a single connection to the database and use it over and over again in the various controls without opening and closing it? I'm NOT a programmer with experience in these tools. I've been asked to review performance from an overall viewpoint and one of the big issues, as I see it, is the fact that one user could have 1-??? sessions open at any given time. It makes tracing a user's activity almost impossible (as sessions keep coming and going) and creates problems with transaction control, etc.
Can anyone tell me a bit about if it's possible to create and use a single connection throughout the app for all the various different controls and if so, point me to a simple example?

Assuming they're using ODBC, go into the ODBC Data Source Manager (from the Control Panel) and check to see whether the ODBC driver this app is using is set to pool connections. If it is, your application should be sharing connections. You may want to play with the pool timeout parameter, depending on how quickly your connections are being opened and closed.
If it has 4 controls all simultaneously asking for their own connection, it will have 4 connections open. If control 2 doesn't open a connection until control 1 has closed its connection, you'd only have 1 connection open. Hopefully, though, the next screen that wants a number of connections will be able to utilize the connections that have already been opened and placed in the pool.

  • Issues with FIOS modem/router's wireless and multiple devices connected to the WLAN?

    I am an IT consultant who was assisting someone with getting some devices connected to the fios wireless router and adding a wireless print server so they could print wirelesly. 
    I was having difficulty with one of their systems that was connected prior to me going on site.
    It was having difficulty obtaining an IP from the WLAN, i tried reinstalling the adapter, removing stored wlan settings and setting it up again, etc.
    When it did obtain an IP it could not ping the router.
    I had left it suggesting that they replace the wireless adapter on that system.
    However they're saying that after they shut down one of their other devices that i had connected (a netbook), that this problematic system started working fine.
    It makes no sense that a wireless client would have an impact on another wireless client. We're only talking 4 total devices here, a netbook, a laptop, a wireless print server and a desktop in another area of the house that has a usb wireless adapter.
    Does anyone have any ideas on if Verizon's wireless built in to the fios modem/router just isn't too good to handle multiple wireless devices?
    After hearing this i was thinking they might have been better off configuring the fios router as a bridge and getting a better wireless router or shutting off the fios supplied wifi and implementing a wireless access point instead of using the router/modem that verizon provides.

    By bridge I mean in the sense you see some of the early DSL setups configured before they started using multiport routers -- essentially bridging the WAN MoCA port to the LAN ethernet.   The ActionTEC's won't do that.   This is what I think most are seeking to do when they want to turn the device into a "bridge" (essentially making the Verizon unit "transparent" to the communication which in this scenario it can't be).  You can do as suggested an turn the ActionTEC into essentially a "switch/bridge" that is only bridging the MoCA LAN and Ethernet LAN segments, but this then requires you to have an ethernet WAN feed from the ONT ... and as indicated, it is definitely not a "supported" configuration from Verizon (although there is nothing "wrong" with doing it this way if you are comfortable with networking and understanding the mechanics of all that is going on -- if not, sticking with a supported configuration is highly advisable).

  • Servlets and multiple JDBC connections...

    Hi Guru's
    I want to perform multiple JDBC queries simultaneously from my servlet. Let's say I have a connection pool containing JDBC connections. Now what I want to do is to use each of this connections simultaneously to perform queries in parallel.
    What is the best way to do this??? create multiple threads, one for each query, and then collate results when all threads are finished???
    Has anyone does this before or know of any links or samples which I can look at??
    your help much appreciated...
    Many Thanks

    Thanks but further questions....
    But take care:
    multithreading might only work parallel if there are
    multiple processors - otherwise the thread fragments
    will be processed one after the other until they are
    finished.I agree. My server has multiple processors hence multi-threading.
    Why do you need to perform the queries
    simultaneously?
    wouldn't it work too when you perform the queries one
    after the other?To speed up performance. Sequential processing is too slow at the moment.
    Hope you don't try doing so inside one single
    database...yes inside a single databse.
    Do you have any links to sample example etc..??? Importantly are you aware of any issues when one does this type of multi-threading from servlet. i.e does it clash with servlet's threading model etc...
    I am aware of how servlets multithread requests and am quite familiar with them. Just wanted some examples on multithreading JDBC connections from servlets and how I can wait for all threads to finish before collecting results....also wanted to make sure that there are no other issues....
    further help will be much appreciated.....

  • New Fios G1100 and Multiple Xboxs Connected to xbox live issues.

    I just upgraded my router from the Actiontec MI424WR to the G1100. Now I am into an issue with Fios keeping a connection to xbox live on selected xbox devices. I have 3 xbox 360 and 2 xbox one connecting to the network. Both Xbox One maintain solid connection to live, but the 360 experience I have a totally different experience. My set up has 1 Xbox One Wired, 1 wireless. I have 2 xbox 360 wireless and 1 wired. I am also experiencing problems with one of my desktops which is wired that randomly loses a connection to internet. I been using this TRENDnet 8-Port 10/100Mbps GREENnet Switch (TE100-S80G) to help with wired connections. Both Xbox Ones on the network remain connected at all times, or at least I haven't seen a drop. My experience with my xbox 360s are completely different from my Xbox One.They all drop connection randomly every 5 to 20 min. I can immediately sign back in , but this continuosly happens. I was able to get one xbox 360 to maintain a continuous connection by putting it IP address and enabling DMZ on it. I have tried port forwarding but that doesn't work. Anybody have any suggestions or solution? Or should I just shipped back the G1100 and go back to Actiontec MI424WR.      

    Who is your ISP...?
    Are you getting any error message...?
    Try the following settings and check..
    Open the router setup page,On the set-up tab change the MTU Size to 1365 and click Save Settings...Click on "Administration" tab and disable the option UPnP and click Save Settings...
    Click on "Applications and Gaming" tab and then click on "Port Range Forwarding" subtab...
    1) On the first line in Application box type in ABC, in the start box type in 53 and End box type in 3074, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box, click Save Settings once done...
    2) Once you return to the set up page click on the Security tab and uncheck Block Anonymous Internet Requests and click on Save Settings...
    3)Click on the Status tab and take note of DNS1 and DNS2 Addresses...
    4) Goto the XBox Network Settings and IP Address Settings and select manual IP Settings and assign the following on your Xbox
    IP Address :- 192.168.1.20, Subnet Mask :- 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway :- 192.168.1.1...
    5) Also assign the DNS Addresses on the Xbox
    Use DNS1 and DNS2 Addresses you took note off of the router status tab as Primary DNS & Secondary DNS for the xbox...
    6) Turn off your modem, router, and Xbox...Wait for a minute...
    7) Plug the modem power first, wait for another minute and plug the router power cable, wait another minute and turn on the Xbox and test it...it will connect...

  • Local only connection on multiple wirelesss connections

    I've seen several posts to this affect, but no resolutions.  I have a WRT110, one wired connection which works fine and multiple wireless connections.  Only one wireless connection can be active at a time.  If connection A is active, and connection B comes on-line, connection B takes the internet connection and connection A is left as Local Access Only (but still connected to the router).  After connection B goes off-line, connection A can reestablish internet connectivity after a short period of time.
    Any thoughts? 

    I would suggest you to readjust the wireless settings of the router...On the Linksys Setup Page try doing the following settings.
    Under the Wireless tab..
    - Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz
    Under Advance Wireless tab..
    - Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,Change the RTS Threshold to 2304.
    Now,try to connect both the laptop...

  • New 13" Macbook Pro trying to connect to a Panasonic VIERA TC-L42U30 as second monitor. I've used multiple hdmi-thunderbolt/mini displayport adapters and multiple hdmi cables and still no success. The Macbook does not sense the second monitor (TV). Help?!

    I've been a Mac since 2008, so I know my way around the system pretty well. This issue, however, has me stumped. I had an iMac until now and only now am I experiencing some difficulty with my new MacBook Pro. The model I have is the newest 13" Macbook Pro model and I'm trying to connect a Panasonic VIERA TC-L42U30 42" HDTV as a second monitor via the Thunderbolt port.
    It worked the first two times and hasn't worked since, after 10-15 attempts with different configurations, turning things on n off, restarting the mac, unplugging the cables, adapters, TV, resetting the P RAM, etc... I've used multiple hdmi-thunderbolt/mini displayport adapters and multiple hdmi cables and still no success. No matter what I do, the Macbook does not sense the TV as a second monitor anymore.
    I took the MacBook Pro to the Apple Store, and their "genius" there had it working fine with a DVI connection to a regular monitor. The Panasonic TV I have has HDMI connections and one VGA connection which does not support HD, but no DVI option. I want an HD connection to mirror or extend my MacBook Pro screen. At the Apple Store, they didn't have a Thunderbolt/Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter, so he could not try that out for me.
    Anyone else have this configuration or another similar one with a Panasonic HDTV?
    Ideas? Suggestions? Anything?! Help!!
    P.S. I'm running Mountain Lion, if that wasn't already obvious. Everything is up to date in my App Store as well.
    Thanks!

    Hi There,
    I have had the exact same issue but with a projector.
    The issue lies with Mountian Lion 10.8.2.
    I tried many a combination with no luck to get HDMI working.
    Took my mac into the apple store and came to the conclusion it was the software, so I asked them to install 10.8 onto it (this is destructive so a backup is a must)
    Bought my macbook home and voila, now displaying through my projector.
    There is a small graphics update after 10.8.1 which seems to be the cause.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.

  • Our home network has multiple devices connected by iCloud. Having problem with Calendar. On one iMac, all the events are duplicated. How can I correct that problem? Under the Calendar accounts, I had my Apple id listed and also just iCloud.

    Our home network has multiple devices connected by iCloud: 2 iMacs, 2 iPhone 4s, 1 MacPro Laptop, and 1 iPad 2.  When using Calendar, all the events were
    duplicated on my husbands iMac.  On his computer, under Calendar accounts, I had included iCloud and also my iCloud ID.  I thought that because I had two accounts listed that were connected to iCloud, that might be the cause of the duplication.  When I deleted ithe calendars from one of the accounts, it resulted
    in deleting all of the events on all of our network devices!
    I have since entered some new events into Calendar from my iMac and from my iPhone.  These appear correctly on all devices except my husband's iMac where they are again all duplicated.
    I have two questions: 1)  How can I eliminate the duplicated events on my husband's computer and 2) How do I retrieve the old wiped out Calendar events from
    Time Capsule.  I don't know how to find Calendar in the Time Capsule.  If I find the Calendar information in Time Capsule, how do I transfer it to my current Calendars?
    I was obtaining phone help from one of the Apple techs at Apple Support, but our call was disconnected part way through.  Didn't know how to reconnect with the tech.
    Thanks for any help.

  • Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate - how to connect to multiple TFS Servers?

    Hi Folks,
    I have to use two different Team Foundation servers (different solutions on each one).  I have connected to one TFS server using Team Explorer,  but I cannot work out how to connect to the second server.   I have the settings 'Connect:

  • Since last thursday my ipod and iphone cant connect to any wifi, i have restarted and try multiple options, what to do?

    since last thursday i have tried to connect my ipod and iphone 5 to wifi with no success. both devices identify different wifis but they can not complete the connection, i guess it has something about the new ios but i am not sure
    ihave tried to connect at my home and office but none of the devices connects, i also have two laptops and they are connecting to wifi without any problem.

    1.  Forget the Wifi Networks in the Wifi section of Settings
    2.  Restart your phone, hold power button down until Slide To Turn Off appears, slide and wait for phone to restart.
         Try to connect to wifi.  You will need to re-enter password.
    3.  Reset your phone, hold both Home and Power buttons down until Apple logo appears, release both buttons and wait for phone to start
          Try to reconnect to wifi.
    4.  Reset network Settings - Settings => General => Reset => Reset Network Settings.  This is another way for the phone to Forget wifi network settings.  You will need to re-enter passwords if you can connect.
    If none of this work, you may have a broken phone and Apple will need to look it over.

  • Looking for comparison between MS Visual Source Safe and Oracle SCM

    Hi,
    I am looking for some comparison between MS Visual Source Safe and Oracle SCM.
    What I need is technical feature comparison (not just marketing comparison stating that Oracle SCM is better for everything is stored in the very reliable Oracle database(although this is a good point)).
    Any help in this area will be helpfull.
    Best regards,
    Mihail Daskalov

    Thanks you for your answer,
    I like very much Oracle SCM, which I use extensively.
    I have very little experience with MS VSS (only on my local machine). I have never tested it in a network environment with multiple developers.
    I would like to convince other developers to switch to Oracle SCM, but I need to know what to tell them.
    I'm actually both a developer and DBA, and I do like the safety the Oracle Database offers for storing files inside.
    I like very much the opportunity to connect with Oracle Repository Navigator from a remote location to my database through Connection Manager and to be able to work with my projects. (There is an issue with this configuration due to the JDBC driver used I'm unable to compare files).
    But to convince people I need to know more about the differences between MS VSS and Oracle SCM.
    I would appreciate if any of the developers share experience with VSS and SCM.

  • MapViewer and multiple markers

    Hello, I am using a visual jsf project and the mapViewer in NetBeans.What I want to do is add multiple markers on the map, but I am new to this so I wanted to know if someone knows how to do this.Is there a good tutorial for more complex use of the mapViewer?I have looked in google but all there is about mapViewer is the tutorial from the NetBeans page which is very simple.Any help would be appreciated thank you!

    I have tested your theory without success.
    The scenario is:
    User1 has a series of spatial tables
    User2 has another series of spatial tables
    UserMV is created to have SELECT access to all the tables in User1 and User2
    Both User1 and User2 have their tables registered in ALL_SDO_GEOM_METADATA view and (as UserMV) the query "select count(*) from all_sdo_geom_metadata;" returns a total count of all entries. The query "select count(*) from user_sdo_geom_metadata;" returns a zero count.
    UserMV can also run the following queries successfully:
    select count(*) from User1.table1;
    SELECT count(*)
    FROM User1.table1 A
    WHERE sdo_filter(A.geom, SDO_geometry(2003,NULL,NULL,
    SDO_elem_info_array(1,1003,3),
    SDO_ordinate_array(144.9720,-37.8060, 144.9756,-37.8010))) = 'TRUE';
    SELECT count(*)
    FROM User2.table1 A
    WHERE sdo_filter(A.geom, SDO_geometry(2003,NULL,NULL,
    SDO_elem_info_array(1,1003,3),
    SDO_ordinate_array(144.9720,-37.8060, 144.9756,-37.8010))) = 'TRUE';
    The spatial queries above return the correct results.
    When running the Oracle Map Definition Tool and connecting as UserMV the following message appears when trying to add a new theme:
    "There is no accessible table that has one or more sdo_geometry columns in USER_SDO_GEOM_METADATA" which indicates that the connected user must have its own entries in USER_SDO_GEOM_METADATA in order to create themes, styles and maps.
    The next step is to manually create a theme and a map in the database table MDSYS.SDO_THEMES_TABLE. Creating the table entries and querying the data yields the following error message from the mapviewer application:
    04/05/25 11:37:40 [oracle.sdovis.ThemeTable, ERROR] cannot find entry in USER_SD
    O_GEOM_METADATA table for theme: MY_THEME
    This indicates once again that the SDO_OWNER must have all spatial tables registered and accessible via USER_SDO_GEOM_METADATA.
    What are your thoughts?
    Thanks.

  • One premium account and multiple Skype HD devices

    Will one Premium account and multiple non premium HD accounts work for video calling? Basically the idea is 10 HD skype devices, the set top boxes connected to tvs will dial into one Premium Mac or PC account for multiple video conferencing.

    Yes, one user needs to have a Group Video Calling subscription.
    Unfortunately, not all devices support Group Video calling (TV's for example, do not).

  • How to provide access to multiple users connected to a Dumb switch? (multi-auth/multi-domain)

    Good morning everybody,
    I am writing on behalf of not being able to implement a desired outcome in our company network. In fact the situation is as follows:
    What I want to do is to be able to authenticate users (802.1x authentication) in our company radius server and authorize them access by having a dynamic VLAN assignment in a multi-user environment on one and the same port of a Cisco 2960 switch. So far, the authentication and authorization has been working completely smoothly (there are no problems with itself). The concept involves the configuration of both DATA and VOICE VLANs as I there is also phone authentication implemented. In order to simulate this environment I introduce a Dumb switch connected to my Cisco 2960 Catalyst.
    What I have successfully managed to get to work so far is this:
    1) On one switch port I have tried the “authentication host-mode multi-domain” and it worked perfectly for a PC behind a telephone, or with one PC connected to a the dumb switch + the telephone connected to another port of the dumb switch. Logically it is the same situation as there is a separation in two domains – DATA and VOICE. Bellow is an output from show authentication sessions for this scenario.
    Interface  MAC Address     Method   Domain   Status         Session ID          
    Fa0/23     0021.9b62.b79b  dot1x    DATA     Authz Success  C0A8FF69000000F3008E (user1)
    Fa0/23     0015.655c.b912  dot1x    VOICE    Authz Success  C0A8FF69000000F9009F (phone)
    2) On the other hand, when I try the same scenario with the “authentication host-mode multi-auth”, the switch still separates the traffic in two domains and is able to authenticate all users, AS LONG AS they are in the same VLAN.
    show authentication sessions:
    Interface  MAC Address     Method   Domain   Status         Session ID          
    Fa0/23     0021.9b62.b79b  dot1x    DATA     Authz Success  C0A8FF69000000F3008E (user1)
    Fa0/23     b888.e3eb.ebac   dot1x    DATA     Authz Success  C0A8FF69000000F8008C (user2)
    Fa0/23     0015.655c.b912  dot1x    VOICE    Authz Success  C0A8FF69000000F9009F (phone)
    However, I cannot succeed authentication of many users from DIFFERENT VLANs, neither in multi-auth nor in multi-domain modes.
    What I want to get is an output like this:
    Interface  MAC Address     Method   Domain   Status         Session ID          
    Fa0/23     0021.9b62.b79b  dot1x    DATA     Authz Success  C0A8FF69000000F3008E (user1)
    Fa0/23     b888.e3eb.ebac dot1x    DATA     Authz Success  C0A8FF69000000F8008C (user2)
    Fa0/23     0015.655c.b912  dot1x    VOICE    Authz Success  C0A8FF69000000F9009F (phone)
    I want the switch to authenticate the users anytime they connect to itself and for them to have an instant access to the network. (I tell this because I tried scenario 1) with multi-domain mode and authentication violation replace, and it worked but, two users never had access to the “Internet” simultaneously!!!
    The configuration of the interface connected to the Dumb switch is as follows.
    interface FastEthernet0/x                                                      
     description Connection to DUMBswitch                                            
     switchport mode access                                                         
     switchport voice vlan XXX                                                      
     switchport port-security maximum 10                                            
     switchport port-security                                                       
     switchport port-security violation protect                                     
     authentication host-mode multi-auth                                            
     authentication priority dot1x                                                  
     authentication port-control auto                                               
     authentication timer reauthenticate 4000                                       
     authentication violation replace                                               
     dot1x pae authenticator                                                        
     dot1x timeout tx-period 10                                                     
     spanning-tree portfast                                                         
    The way I see it is explained in the following steps:
    - PC1 connects to the Dumb switch. This causes the Cisco switch to authenticate user1. This creates an auth. session with its MAC address linked to a domain DATA.
    - When PC2 connects to the Dumb switch, this causes the violation replace which replaces the recent authenticated MAC address with the MAC of PC2. I would like it once authenticated to appear in the authentication sessions with a link to a new DATA domain linked to the VLAN assigned from the RADIUS server.
    Is this possible? I think (in theory) this is the only way to provide authenticated access to multiple users connecting through Dumb switch to the network.
    Has anybody ever succeeded in such a configuration example and if yes, I would be love to get some help in doing so?
    Thank you
    Stoimen Hristov

    Hi Stoimen,
    I have done a setup similar to yours with the only exception being VLAN assignment. When I used dACLs only, it makes things somewhat easier as the VLAN no longer matters. Remember that the switchport is in access mode and will only allow a single VLAN across it (with the exception of the voice VLAN). I think that is the real cause of your problem.
    From what I can see, you have 2 options available to you:
    1) Use dACLs instead of VLAN assignment. This means that an access list will be downloaded from the radius server straight to the authenticated user's session. I have tested this and it works perfectly. Just Google Cisco IBNS quick reference guide and look for the section that deals with Low Impact mode.
    2) Get rid of the dumb switches and use managed switches throughout your network. Dumb switches will always be a point of weakness in your network because they have no intelligence to do advanced security features like port security, 802.1x, DHCP snooping, etc.
    Hopefully someone else will chime in with another option.

  • Multiple Internet Connection Issues

    Hi there, long time reader first time poster.
    I figured I should post this as, while having read through hundreds of similar posts I still can't figure out how to solve my connectivity issues.
    I just bought a new iMac 21.5 inch 3.2Ghz i3 model and while I am happy with the machine overall, it is the second one in a month - the first had a faulty ethernet port and refused to connect to the internet out of the box. Apple replaced it without question - almost as if they knew.
    The replacement has now seemingly developed the same issue.
    Some background info. The computer was connected both through ethernet and through the TC I bought to back it up until yesterday. So I was getting both a wireless signal from the TC and one through ethernet.
    I have a hub that has 5 devices connected to it ( Printer, Cable TV, iMac and TC - now a PS3 ) That hub is served a signal by a simple NTT modem connected to a phone line. That modem is now nearly 5 years old but has always given great net speeds so I don't believe the problem to be the modem - I could be wrong though.
    I just bought a PS3 and tried connecting it yesterday but had multiple problems. Despite me entering the correct PPPoE information to the letter, the PS3 refused to connect, saying the password and username was incorrect. I could connect it via a Bluetooth signal but no hard wired connection would work.
    So I unplugged everything from the hub, shut down all the machines, turned off the modem and let it sit for 10 minutes and then plugged the ethernet cable from the PS3 straight into the modem, giving it a direct line. Switched on modem, rebooted PS3 and tried again - this time it connected through ethernet. I still don't know how or why. I can guess but I'm sure you guys know much more about this than I do.
    So then I tried connecting the iMac back to the net, reconnected all the hub, followed the same procedure. Off, sit for a bit, on etc. This time the PS3 has no connection and now the iMac has no connection either!
    The TC gave a green light though so I was able to get wireless. I tried removing all net locations from the iMac, installing new ones, renewed the DHCP lease, but no matter what I did (PPPoE info 100% correct) it just refused to establish a connection.
    The the bloody TC light flashed amber and I couldn't get wireless either despite being plugged into the hub and getting a signal! The PS3 is now working and the cable is fine so I am starting to think either I have cluster ****** the whole setup or something is wrong with the iMac.
    I go away for an hour then come back and the stupid TC has somehow picked up a connection! The light is green again?! But now the time connected display is scrolling repeatedly. I've got net but what the **** is wrong with all this?
    Bottom line - not ethernet connection for the iMac but TC seems to be working and all other devices have a connection.
    Please help me if you can! I just can't figure any of this out.

    Your description is a bit confusing, but I use English as a second language, so it may be just me.
    1. How is the hub connecting to your modem, by ethernet cable or wirelessly?
    2. Which device is negotiating the internet connection with your ISP, the modem?
    3. Does the device that negotiates the connection use PPPoE?
    4. How are the other devices being handed their internet connection? DHCP only?
    Only one device should be connecting directly to your ISP using the PPPoE protocol and configured with your account username and password. This device is preferably the modem. This device should be configured to hand out internal IP addresses to the other devices on your LAN using DHCP. All of the other devices should be configured to request an IP from that device, whether by ethernet or wi-fi, just with DHCP.
