Need advice in dealing Raw using EXEC_SQL

I really a hard time in fetching the long raw datatype using EXEC_SQL since the image that im going to fetch is stored in an odbc complaint database, most of the columns of the table can be fetch but when dealing with a particular column with LONG RAW data type, i can no longer fetch the whole row..
Can anybody give me insights on these matters.

first create database linke between srv1 and srv2
and try this
declare
mysql varchar2(4000);
begin
mysql := ' SELECT col1 FROM TABLE_NAME | | | | SERVER2;
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE mysql INTO mcoo1,...;
end;;

  • Frustrated - Multiple issues with Fios TV/DVR - need advice on dealing with tech support

    I have been a Verizon Fios customer since Feb. 20th (all of two and a half weeks).  I signed up for my bundle on-line around 11am on the 20th, and had a technician out for install within a few hours on the SAME day.  I thought that was impressive - and I was looking forward to having a more reliable and fast internet connection than I had been experiencing with Brighthouse.
    The technician who installed was very friendly, and although he had some issues (apparently, there was a Verizon box in this house before us, but someone ripped it off the wall, so they had to run new wire all the way out to the street) the install went pretty quickly and smoothly.
    The first few days went along without a problem, and the internet was great.  Some of the functionality of the DVR was less than I'd hoped for, but some of the other features were great.  I had a glitch trying to set up my online account, but I used the online chat feature to work with tech support and she was able to correct the issue.  We noticed a couple times in the evenings that the TV would pixelate - but it only happened a few times and was very brief.
    On Sunday the 26th, our real issues started.  The live TV started freezing, then having a liquid-like pixelation problem, sometimes no sound.  We tried to watch a recorded show from our DVR list and received error messages stating that we didn't have DVR.  We called Verizon tech support and a very rude person reset the box several times and apparently even reinitialized the box and the result was that the box wouldn't even turn on anymore.  He said that he'd have a new box shipped out to us and that it would arrive by Tuesday or Wednesday.  My husband got on the phone at that point and suggested to him that since we were brand new customers (less than a week) and that since we had service installed on the very same day that we ordered it online, that certainly they could have someone bring us a new box on Monday morning.  The technician told us that he would transfer us to the billing department because we could probably just cancel the service.  We were both dumbfounded.  Especially considering that he had been rude from the minute he took our call, and while we were obviously frustrated, we were never rude.  We were eventually transferred to someone in billing who said she had never heard of such a thing and that she could not help us unless we wanted to cancel.  While this was going on, I had unplugged the box again, let it sit for several minutes, then plugged it back in - and the tv worked.  And the DVR worked. We assumed that maybe something the tech support guy did had worked after all.  Well, it worked until the next morning.  We had error messages saying we had no DVR.  A reboot of the box worked again.  After work, in the evening, it turned out that scheduled shows didn't record.  So, we called tech support again and asked for our new box.  We were told we'd have it by Thursday.
    New box arrived Thursday and we set it up that evening.  Went through trying to get all of our recordings set up again and finally sat down to watch tv.  I switched to Showtime (which we are subscribed to in our package) and received an error that the channel was not available, press B to troubleshoot or call tech support with this code.  Pressed B, went through the steps and the channel came back.  Then, proceeded on to HBO, also part of our subscription - and we received the same error.  We pressed B and this time going through the steps did NOT correct - so we called tech support.  After working with the girl for over an hour, she finally determined that we needed to be switched to billing to have them remove our HBO package and then put it back on and that should correct the problem.  So, while we were waiting for billing to come on the line, we started flipping channels again.  Now, channels that had previously worked were now showing the error that the channel was unavailable - even non HD, non premium channels.  When the billing girl got on the phone, she said there was really nothing she could do with that being the case and that downgrading our package and re-upgrading it would do nothing - that we needed technical support.  She got us on the line with a different tech support person who said that we were obviously having signal related issues and that we needed a tech to come out to look at the wiring.  He scheduled an appointment for us for Friday.  That call took over 2 hours.
    On Friday, the tech came out and spent time checking all of the wires coming in to the house - he said we had multiple splitters on lines that didn't need splitters and that this was likely causing a signal disruption and was probably the cause of the failure on both boxes.  He removed some of the splitters and apparently streamlined some of the wiring.  We still had the original box and the new box.  He hooked up each box and they both worked - all of our premium channels worked, DVR was good, etc. We boxed up the old box to send back, kept the new box and had tv that worked just fine for a few hours... then we started having the channel not available issues again.  And, now - we were also getting messages saying that we weren't subscribed to a channel - and this would range from HBO all the way to a non HD standard tv channel.  A reboot will work and restore function - for a while.  However - scheduled shows aren't recording - or record for 7 seconds and stop.  Or record for a while, then have a 20 minute gap in the middle where it's frozen, etc.  This has been going on since a few hours after the technician left Friday evening.  And, I have to say - when the tech left Friday - everhything seemed fine.  He had tested the signal strength - seemed completely thorough and was very nice.  I don't think he could have known, at that time, that the problem wasn't fixed.
    We have not called back to tech support yet.  We're busy with our work and our lives and we're also frustrated.  I know it will take another several hours and don't have much faith that there is any resolution.  It seems to me that we probably need the whole house completely rewired - brand new - start over.  I'm thinking there's a bad wire in there somewhere.
    This morning with my coffee before work, I tried to watch a tv show in my DVR list that apparently didn't record properly - no surprise (it froze and skipped over half the show).  So, I went to On Demand and found the show. (Without Bay News 9, I'm kind of lost with morning coffee, so I need a show of some kind)  It started to play and was going along just fine, till I received a CableCARD  (tm) Pairing Information is not available message.  I tried the auto fix in the menu, rebooted, etc.  It worked for a few minutes, then stopped again.  At one point, I got an error saying the set top box lost video due to a network connection failure.  Great, does that mean my internet is going bad too?? While looking around in the menu function, I clicked on the self diagnostics feature.  It filled in all the information, as I'd seen it do before - except when it got to the package description.  This time, instead of Ultimate HD, HBO, VOD, etc., etc (like I'd seen before). it told me that my package is: Arabic, Armenian, ART (Arabic), Extreme HD, HBO, Prime & Ultimate HD, Prime HD, RA, RAI (Italian), etc., etc.  Huh???  Really???
    So, I'm not sure now what the deal is - would a signal issue cause my subscription package to change?  Do I get on the phone with someone at tech support for another few hours?  Are they going to send yet another box?  Are they going to come re-wire the whole house?  Is it worth it?  This is really ridiculous.  Do I cancel and go back to Brighthouse with my tail between my legs?  At least with them, I knew that my internet connection would be wicked slow at certain times of the day, but at least I knew it was coming and could expect it - and I could at least count on my tv and dvr recording my shows.
    When I logged into verizon to vent on this forum, my account said that it was unable to access my DVR.  When I clicked on manage my DVR, it just says Bad Gateway.  Not a great start to our relationship, Verizon.
    I really need some advice.  Should I stay or should I go?  And, if I stay - what is the best way for me to explain this to tech support so they will do the right thing and fix this?  And, what is "this" anyway?  Bad box, bad wiring?  
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • How do I set up a wirelss music system with a MacBook Pro? Need advice on what to use: Bluetooth or AirPort. I don't have speakers yet. I listen mostly to classical music. Any advice on what kind of speakers?

    I live in a small apartment and would like speakers in the bedroom and the living room. I like the "all-in-one" units. Would two of these sound better than one in the living room? I have a wireless modem from my phone company, but I have not hooked it up yet. What is AirPort and is it necessary to do what I want to do?

    If your goal is to have a "whole home" audio experience, then using separate speakers in both the living room and bedroom would the proper approach.
    If you decide to go the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) route, then you would need a minimum of two of these devices; one each for each room. The AX is a wireless Internet router with built-in audio. The AX's audio port supports both analog and digital optical audio output and will work with either self-powered speakers or an audio receiver that supports either connection type.
    Classical music has very fine dynamics and, of course, the better the speaker, the better the sound reproduction. However, you don't need to go overboard as the AX is limited to the audio files that iTunes can play.

  • Need advice on how to use a samsung 470 128gb ssd in laptop win 7, please

    hello,
    i have a  laptop with 2 hdd's running win 7 64 bit with 8gb of ram
    i thought about installing 2   10k drives, but that would heat the laptop up
    and drain battery life quickly
    so
    i found the samsung 470 ssd series  to use for the os drive
    and have questions that i cannot find answers to
    (either from the web or samsung's website)
    reading this link about 'shortstroking' the ssd
    http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/forum/showthread.php?67119-Short-Stroking-SSD
    my os only uses 40gigs (and i haven't really, really gone through it to delete bloatware)
    at most i see myself using 80 gigs of the 128gig model
    1) should i 'not partition' the drive and let everything be as it may
    or
    should i create a 90 gig partition, thus 'shortstroking' it to try to gain more performance?
    2) should i locate the static page file on the ssd
    or
    locate it on the 2nd hdd media drive?
    is anyone doing this or have advice?
    thanks again for your help
    j

    hello Frederic,
    first of all thanks a ton for the calibration info
    that was excellent!
    it's an hp laptop with a removable optical drive of which
    i installed a 2nd hdd for media
    i just found the corsair ssd you mentioned at newegg
    and 57% of the reviews are terrible
    whereas 100% of the reviews for the samsung are 5 eggs
    (they say the samsung isn't the fastest but it is the most sturdiest)
    it has a sataII interface
    i agree with you about not defragging ssd's
    thanks for the answer about not partitioning and locating the pagefile...
    my desktop at home has 2 sata3 ports...
    after all this research i think i might get the 128 gb ssd for my desktop
    which leads me to another question about the laptop:
    my os drive is 40gb
    i don't see it getting much bigger than that
    in terms of installing programs
    do you think i could 'get away with' installing a 64gb ssd in the laptop
    or will it fill up or run slow because of the limited headroom?
    i think it is better to go with a highly stable ssd than a tempermental faster ssd
    thanks for answering,

  • Need advice to deal with concurrency

    Hi,
    I just need you're advice on how I should handle concurrency. Iam doing ordering assignment, and I need to ensure concurrency. In my assignment concurrency comes into play if/when many customers try to order the same product but there is not enough product quantity.
    At the moment I have made all my preparedstatement objects synchronized. Like following:
          synchronized(updateProductQuantity){
            updateProductQuantity.clearParameters();
            updateProductQuantity.setInt(1, prod_qty);
            updateProductQuantity.setInt(2, prod_no);
            updateProductQuantity.executeUpdate();
          }Iam wondering if this is enough. Do you think I should lock the database table?
    Thanks for you're help!

    What you have done there only ensures that one thread can execute that particular update at a time. You should do this regardless, since you wouldn't want two threads both getting into that code -- you might get prod_qty from one thread and prod_no from another thread.
    However what you have done there doesn't prevent two customers from both ordering your last widget. And I don't think locking the table will help. What you need is a method that does this:
    - Get the product record
    - see if there is anything on hand
    - if there isn't then set on the out-of-stock flag (or whatever)
    - if there is then decrement the on-hand quantity and update the product record
    And this entire method needs to be synchronized on some object.

  • Need advice on the techniques used to add icons to my custom Acrobat toolbar

    I am trying to add a set of nice icons to my custom (plugin-based) Acrobat toolbar. The issues are those to be expected:
    - What dimensions are acceptable?
    - What color depth?
    - What graphic file format?
    - How do I handle transparency?
    As a newbie, I just discovered that bitmaps (*.bmp) don't seem to  support 32 bit color (or transparency?).
    My target is Windows XP, which apparently supports 32 bit color.
    What I currently have is 24x24x24 bitmaps, but the background shows as white.
    TIA,
    -Ramon

    There is an example in the Acrobat 9 SDK about how to use PNG files (which support transparency) for toolbar icons.

  • JMS to Synchronous Web Service Scenario (Need Advice to use BPM or Not)

    Hi Experts,
    We have a scenario where we fetch data from JMS Sender and Send it to MDM Webservices.
    We want to have the files processed in such a way that until we get a response from webservice back that it was sucessful ,then only we need to process the next file.
    We would need advice as can we use BPM for this.
    We are thinking of having BPM like this:
    RecieveStep(Asyn)-SynchronousSend Step(with wait)-Stop
    The problem with this is when processing huge files the processing time of the Queue is taking very long and sometimes we are getting SYSFAIL.
    Please would anyone advice as how can we approach this scenario either using BPM or without.
    Also Can we use multiple queues or multpile instances concept for this scenario.
    Please Advice.
    Thanks in Advance
    Regards
    J

    Hi Prateek,
    Thank you very much for your quick reply.
    The response from Webservice does not need to be sent anywhere.
    We just want that after recieving the response back from webservice(SOAP) then only we need to process the next file.
    Can we control something from Sender JMS adapter side as well as it is picking up all the files and all files wait at BPE until each one gets processed.
    Is this possible without BPM or with BPM.
    Please advice as what wud be possible steps inorder to achive it through BPM or Without BPM.
    Thanks and Regards,
    J

    Virtual Box is safe and well developed, it offers similar or identical features to the paid competition, it may be a little less polished but that's all.
    Download and try it out, nothing to lose (except time).

  • Need Advice: Re-Ripping ALL of my CDs using ALAC/Apple Lossless

    I need advice from some experienced users (having searched for answers for a couple of days and not finding a comprehensive solution).  I want to "upgrade" my iTunes library (95% of which is from my CD collection) from ACC (the default iTunes file format) to ALAC (lossless format). I realize that music purchased from the iTunes store will remain in ACC format, but I am using this opportunity to "archive" or "digitize" my CD collection.  I have some, but not a lot, of non-critical tags, album art, etc. set up with my current library.  I will be saving all of the music files in a new folder on a single hard disc on my network (with backup).  I use iTunes Match.  I have Windows PCs, Macbook Pro (OSX), iPhone, iPad, iPod.  Given these factors, I am seeking recommendations:
    Does it make sense to "start over" and create a brand new iTunes library?
    (this would certainly give me time to complete my project while still using my current iTunes library)
    If yes, what do I need to do in order to "activate" the new library once it is complete in order to reset iTunes Match and all of the other devices using my iTunes library?  What complications can I anticipate?
    If no, what is the best way to replace the existing albums in my iTunes library with the new ALAC files?  Do I simply insert the CD and import it with my new settings?  Will iTunes take care of the rest (saving the new file, deleting the old format, matching tags, etc.)?  What complications can I anticipate?
    What are the advantages/disadvantages of allowing iTunes to "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" and "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library?"
    Any other suggestions, warning, smart alec remarks?
    I know there are a lot of questions bound up in this post, but if you have converted your iTunes music collection to one of the lossless or uncompressed formats, I would love to learn from your experience (and am guessing others will as well).  Thanks!

    In most cases you should be able to re-import your CDs to the existing library - iTunes will automatically replace your media files and retain all previously added metadata.  This does depend on the library being the same one as you originally imported the CDs in AAC format (i.e., the same computer or the result of a complete library migration).  You should experiment with a couple of CDs to verify this behavior - I've done this successfully to "update" some of the older content of my library which had been imported as 128kbps AAC to 256kbps..
    Obviously this approach will put your media into the existing library media folders, which is going to be the simplest approach.  If you subsequently want to move the library to a different drive, see turingtest2's user tip on Make a split library portable.  If you're concerned about running out of disc space on the drive that currently hosts your library, you could follow these guidelines to move the library to a second, larger drive before starting to re-import using ALAC.
    This is the approach I'd recommend, though there are a couple of other possibilities:
    Create a new, empty library on the second drive by holding down SHIFT as you start iTunes; when you see this prompt:
    click on Create Library..., navigate to the second drive and create the library there (best approach is to create this in a new iTunes folder in the root of the drive.  This will guarantee "clean" imports but you'll not be able to re-use any metadata, artwork, playlists, etc. contained in your current library.  To switch between libraries, SHIFT-start and use the Choose Library... option to select the library you want to be active.
    On the second drive, create a folder called iTunes in the root and a folder called iTunes Media inside this.  Then, with iTunes running against your current library, select Edit > Preferences > Advanced, change the iTunes Media folder location to the one you've just created (i.e., X:\iTunes\iTunes Media, if the second drive is "X:".  Also make sure that the Keep iTunes Media folder organized and Copy files to iTunes Media folder... options are checked.  When you re-import your CDs the media files should be placed on the second drive ... note, though, that I've not verified that this approach will work - in theory it should do but you should definitely test with one or two CDs before going any further.  This approach will result in a "split" library where your library database is on the C: drive and the media divided between drives (since your iTunes Store purchases will still be on C:).  This is generally not a good idea (if for no other reason than making creation and maintenance of a backup of your library more difficult).  Again, tt2's notes on Make a split library portable describe how to bring the library into a consistent, well-formed layout.

  • I need advice after purchasing a MacBook Pro in the USA for use in the UK.

    Hello all out there,
    I bought a 13 inch MacBook Pro in the USA last week and brought it back with me to the UK. I had been given an Apple World Adapter kit by the gentleman in the apple store, however I realised today that it isn't for the MacBook Pro and is only for iPads, iphones and ipods. This means that despite paying around $40, I am stuck. I need advice as to how to charge the laptop in the UK now? Is there an adapter for this or can I use any ordinary USA to UK adapter and stick it to the one I have from the USA?
    Any advice would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Zainab

    AFAIK, the World Adapter kit has a replacement PLUG for the power brick. What you need is just something that can go into your country's wall socket, as the power brick itself is universal and can work from 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz.
    In other words, you ARE aware that the power brick has removable plugs on the AC end, right?

  • Overly Excited New User Needs Advice on Windows for Mac

    As of Christmas day, I am a proud owner of a new MBP 17" beautiful piece of machinery! I'm coming from a PC so you can imagine my excitement when I opened this gift from my parents. Also, I'm 33 years old so getting a gift this amazing from your parents is pretty huge!
    Anyway, the point is I have to use a program for work that is only available for Windows and I just need some advice on whether to use Parallels or VM or just use the free boot camp. I don't want to use Windows for anything other than this program. Is there a way around having to buy the whole Windows OS? Also, is iWork any better than Office? Not sure which of those to buy either. I hate that I even have to have Windows on my new Mac! Thanks for any advice.

    Hi eightezsteps, welcome to Apple Discussions!
    What program do you need? Often PC programs have equivalents on the Mac platform, or even Mac versions that many people are not aware of. There are very few file formats that Macs cannot deal with.
    The choice of Parallels, VMWare, or Boot Camp will also depend on whether you require 3D graphics support with that application. So, we'll need to know what it is!
    is iWork any better than Office?
    I prefer it to Office now after using it for a year. However, it is different, and there is a slight learning curve to it. Once you discover the differences from Office, you'll be as productive if not moreso. You should be aware that some of the more advanced features of Office are sometimes not included in iWork though. So if you require advanced formulas and macros in Excel (for example) to be cross-platform compatible then you'll need Office. If your work is slightly less hardcore than that, you'll be just fine with iWork once you get used to it.
    I do some pretty extensive academic writing (scientific) using Pages and Numbers and I have never ran into anything it could not do for me. That includes formulae and scientific notation.

  • Major Issues with installing 4tb internal. Really need advice please

    In the process of a long needed upgrade to my 2010 Mac Pro Quad core 2.8 and have run into a serious headache that I really need advice on so I can get back to work. I've already spent 2 days dealing with all of this...
    Just did a new SSD install and Migration which went fine but I'm also updating the rest of the internal drives. My main (non boot) drive was being upgraded from a Seagate Barracuda 3tb to a 4th Deskstar NAS (it was showing as compatible with my desktop, see links below). My 3tb ran fine for years but now due to it being heavily used I want to switch to a new drive and I can also use a bit more space.
    The issue I'm running into is that initially on boot, my system was telling me it couldn't recognize the disk and it wasn't even showing up in Disk Utility. I had to purchase a SATA USB 3 kit to attach it as an external to get it to show which worked without problem. With the USB kit I was then able to partition it (GUID, Mac OS extended journaled) and format it properly. After reinserting the drive into my tower as an internal it failed to show again. After a few attempts of restarts and trying various bays it popped up but showed as a non formatted drive and I was told again that the system didn't recognise it. I was then given the option to initialise and was then actually able to then format and partition it though Disk Utility while it was installed as an internal.
    Figured that was problem solved but when I went to check the drive and getting ready to transfer files over I noticed that Disk Utility was only allowing the First Aid and Partition options but not Erase, RAID, Restore which I'd never seen before. I then also noticed that none of the drive connection info was in the same format nor will it even provide drive bay info, connection info or read/write status (See screen shots). This is what I can't figure out and really need to clarify before I put full trust into using this drive.
    Any info would be greatly appreciated...
    Deskstar 4tb internal info which is installed in Bay 2
    3tb Seagate which I trying to retire and transfer from.
    Here are the weblinks to the Deskstar 4tb drive and the compatibility list but I support isn't allowing me to add direct links so add the www. before hand.
    (Drive - eshop.macsales.com/item/HGST/0S03664/) (compatibility list - eshop.macsales.com/Descriptions/specs/Framework.cfm?page=macpromid2010.html).

    What OSX version?
    Disk Utility in later versions of ML and I think Mavericks have problems formatting with 4 TB internal drives.
