Need to know if Oracle will work for this project

I am looking for an appropriate software application that is free and can handle the job I need to get done. I need an application that will allow me to save email messages from a forum and cross reference them by email address, topic, keywords, date etc. in order to make a easily searchable database out of the information contained within the emails.
I know next to nothing about database software so am asking if the free version of Oracle will do what I need.

Hello Sandy, and welcome to the OTN forums!
I need an application that will allow me to save email messages from a forum and cross reference them by email address, topic, keywords, date etc. in order to make a easily searchable database out of the information contained within the emails.
I know next to nothing about database software so am asking if the free version of Oracle will do what I need.Well, XE doesn't "ship" with taht kind of applicaiton, nor do I know sample applications that do exactly would you are searching for. But XE could be a platform. This depends on how much of the application you expect to implement yourself and how many users would use that application. The "free version" of Oracle Database (Express Edition aka XE) is limited in various ways, e.g. to use just one CPU at a time and not more than one GB memory in total, as well as (of release 11.2) 11 GB for user data on your disk. So, if this is application shall be used by only a few users and you'll find 11 GB enough for your database, XE can be sufficient. See the [url http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17781_01/license.112/e18068/toc.htm]Licensing Information for all details.
XE also comes with a lot of PL/SQL APIs that can do a lot of things for you, even SMTP support for fetching emails is possible.
As for the front end, you have Oracle Application Express (APEX) in XE that will allow you to build the frontend for your database very easy. You'll find a few example applications and a lot of tutorials on APEX that can help you with that job.
If you have your favorite development framework already, you can surely use XE as database backend for lots of frameworks, e.g. using JDBC or .NET providers.

    I bought an Airport Express from a supplier who told me I'd need at least iOS 5.4 on my iPad.  My first generation iPad is apparently up to date but the iOS is only 5.1.1.  Before I unpack the device I want to know whether it will work with this earlier version.

    Apple says that a minimum of iOS 5.0 is required. See the support document below. Look for Requirements on the left hand side of the page about half way down.
    Requirements: Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Requires iOS 5.0 or later.

  • Can I possibly get Premiere to work for this project?

    Hi. I am working on a time lapse scanner photography project. I scan flowers a few times an hour and then make videos of them drying out. I'm currently making a movie of it all. The thing is, the scans can be thousands of pixels high/wide. The problem arises when I make sequences with 20 or more of these videos (scaled down to around 10% in Premiere) moving together. It becomes almost unusable on my older Macbook Pro. Doing the more complex parts of it is also very inconvenient on a new iMac. Because I'm working with so many files, I tried out After Effects. Its proxying feature excited me, but it soon became clear that AE is meant mostly for shorter projects, and not for clips that can get 40 GB + in size. For example, in trying to make tiny proxies of clips last night, only four succeeded. It seems that the rendering is centered on your available RAM, and when it runs out (a few seconds into the first clip) rendering becomes very slow. This might work for ads or something, but not for this project. Maybe I'm not using it correctly though.
    So I don't know what to do. I've tried a proxy workaround for Premiere, but that seems to involve working with clips at the resolution you made the proxy at, unlike AE where you can work with a now-more-blurry version of your main file. I tried making a tiny proxy manually, and then upscaling it in Quicktime Pro 7, but that seems to also be slow for Premiere, leading me to think that multiplying the one clip in my test sequence by 20 or more wouldn't be that different.
    Does anyone have any ideas as to how do edit a project like this with a reasonably responsive UI? I don't care if I have to spend hours rendering proxies, or rendering the final copy afterwards, I just want to be able to edit without waiting for minutes when I click on a 20 layer part of the movie. I understand that this is probably an abnormal way of using Premiere, as normally one only uses a few layers at a time.
    Another idea I had was to do the parts of the movie with 20+ layers in AE, and import them in Premiere to get around AE's focus on shorter lengths. But this doesn't get around the issue that its proxying feature, and rendering engine in general seems to be tailoured towards shorter projects. If you are confused, that's okay, I can elaborate more and provide pictures.
    Here's some single videos from the project:

    ATI cards will not work for GPU acceleration of the Mercury Playback Engine and only Nvidia cards with at least 1 GB or RAM and at least 96 CUDA cores will allow for a good experience when using the GPU enable Mercury Playback Engine.  I have a mediocre GT 240 with 1GB of RAM and it rocks. It is much better than using the software only mode. Software only mode is not bad but GPU enabled is so much better. You will have to trust me on that. A new Macbook Pro would not be wise. In fact $900.00 Dell or HP with at least 96 CUDA cores and 1 GB of RAM would be a much better option. You could in theory get a mediocre $600.00 Quad Core from Best Buy and then buy either a $70.00 Nvidia GT 240 graphics card or even a $135.00 GTX 550 graphics card to put in the system. That would work just as well.

  • Hi everybody, i am planning to buy the iphone 4S contract-free, but i need to know if it will work in Qatar, how can i make sure?

    hi
    i am planning to buy an iPhone 4S contract-free, (the one will be released in november) but i want to make sure that it will work in Qatar.
    how can i make sure of that.
    thank you

    The iPhone 4s is a multi carrier 'world' phone, it works on CDMA and GSM based networks.
    Check out what system the carriers in Qatar operate on and check the technical specs of the iPhone 4s.
    The chances are the iPhone 4s will work fine on their network.
    You will need to make sure the carriers in Qatar offer Micro SIM cards to use  in the iPhone 4s. If the carriers don't offer Micro SIM, you will not be able to use the iPhone 4s with a standard SIM (without a bit of SIM card surgery).
    Hope this helps

    You may have to do this several times.
    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • I have a macbook 13"screen purchased in 2007; I want to hook it up to my HDTV; I purchased a mini display port to hdmi adaptor but it does not fit.   what kind of adaptor will work for this model?

    I have a Macbook, 13" screen, purchased in 2007.    I want to hook it up to my HDTV; I purchased a mini display port to hdmi adapter but it does not fit.   Any suggestions?

    If you connect yourMacBook using a MiniDVI/HDMI adapter you will need to use external speakers for audio since the pre-2010 MacBooks will only send video through the MiniDVI or MiniDisplay Port . The MiniDVI/HDMI doesn't carry audio and there's no audio plugs on the TV to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI.
    If your TV has a DVI input plug you can use a MiniDisplayPort/DVI adapter. Then a DVI cable to the DVI input plug on the TV. The TV will have RCA audio plugs for use with the DVI. Plus DVI gives a sharper image than HDMI.

  • I'm thinking of buying an ipad wifi for my mom who lives in Kenya. Any issues I need to know about? Will the ipad work ok?

    I'm thinking of buying an ipad (1) wifi for my mom who lives in Kenya. I understand the charger is universal and will work with an adapter. Any other issues I need to know about? Will the ipad work ok?
    She is 68 years old and has vision problems. My thought is that it would be eaiser for her to see than a ipod touch. She would use it for music, maybe reading, some games. I'm not sure she would be adept enough to download many apps, so we'd prbably load it up for her.
    Thanks for any input!

    She's going to need to update and at some point restore the iPad which requires a computer.
    For vision problems she can enable zoom. Tap Settings / General / Accessibility.

  • Need a solution to create BOM which will work for all Component category

    Hi All,
    I want to create BOM.
    I am using LSMW (std batch input program RCSBI010).
    After execution I came to know that it will not work for if Item category (STPO-POSTP) = 'D' (Document).
    Can Anyone tell me Is there any way to create Material BOm which will work for all kinds of component(Item)Category.
    Below are the diffnt types of Item Category:
    ICt Item category text         
    A   Alloy Item                 
    D   Document item              
    I   PM structure element       
    K   Class item                 
    L   Stock item                 
    M   Phantom material           
    N   Non-stock item             
    R   Variable-size item         
    T   Text item                  
    X   Coded, Non-Stock Item

    Dear Amit,
    1.Is the production BOM containing all these item categories?
    2.It seems there are some additonal item categories apart from standard item categories(A Alloy Item ,M Phantom material ,
    X Coded, Non-Stock Item) for which you have to identify for which fields the value will be populated.
    3.In my understanding it's possible through a BDC recording through T.code SHDB and befor this activity discuss the same with
    your ABAP consultant as it involves some text items too.
    check and revert back.
    Regards

  • What HDD will work for a MacBook Pro 13" 7.1 Unibody HDD Upgrade?

    I am looking at upgrading my HDD and have been reading up on the HDD heights (9mm, 12.5mm etc). Which HDDs will work for my upgrade? I would like to get either a 750GB or 1TB drive. Will the WD Scorpio Blue drives work?
    I currently have the Hitachi 250GB SATA 2 3.0gbps drive.

    Yes, they have an iffy track record.  Do some exploring and research before criticizing.  Even WD has to post a page on their site listing all their products that are known to have compatibility problems with Macs.
    Ironic that OWC sells WD?  Sure, about as ironic as finding food in a supermarket.  The word you wanted was "coincidental."  You have misused "irony." What business did you think OWC was in?  They sell products for Macs, and they don't need to be concerned about honoring the warranties of any product they sell except those exclusively under their name.
    I know quite well what prices New Egg offers.  There are other factors when purchasing products besides price.
