Needs some tip from experts

Hi
I want to build a commercial DVD rental system which involves the loan side management as a local application and the costumer side as a web page. Both side will write,read and edit a database that will be located on the net.
I�m talking about a system that has to handle up to 100,000 clients. i�ve heard that mySQL is a suitable choise.
To tell you the true I�m scared to death because I�m only intermediate minus to Java and totally new the databases. there are lots of scary terms out there like J2EE,etc.
In the JBuilder 9�s help I find a tutorial called �Developing Database Applications� which talk about DataExpress and databases connections etc.
Do you think that learning that tutorial can give me a solid knowledge to do what I�m planning to with jbuilder?

MySQL will certainly fit in your budget, but you should be aware that there are problems. It's not ANSI >compliant, leaving out some important features (e.g., referential integrity with foreign keys). That doesn't >eliminate it as a possibility, but you just need to know. There are other databases out there (e.g., >PostgreSQL, Hypersonic, etc.)Im not sure that i got you�.do you mean international SUPPORT?
If you're intermediate with Java, and new to databases, you might be well served by hiring a mentor to >guide you over the rough spots.
Will you be writing the whole app yourself? Or will there be other team members?I�ll write the whole thing by myself cuz I cant afford hiring someone to do it.
Security will be a huge part of this, especially if clients will be reaching you over the Internet.I was hoping that is not a problem , since clients wont have access directly to me,they will only access to the database. is that a rough issue to protect databases from Israelic hackers? 
declangallagher
actually Java is my only programming skill, im a graphic designer. I don�t know what hardware im going to use,what options I have? I have to design the database.
How did I got this project?
Im a mini programmer with a fudge ambition, im working like a lonely wolf. you guys are the only source that I rely on. I just this that I can do a better job than the existing rental system thati have here/
If I�ll reduce dramatically the numbers of clients the system attend too ,it will reduce also the complexity of accomplish it? Let say only 1000 clients

  • Pulling out my Hair, need some help from experts out there

    Hi - I have been struggling with an issue for a week now and I was wondering if one of you can help me to solve my issue. I have done numerous searches on this topic which got me somewhat in the right direction but I'm still not getting the results I want. The end objective is simple, a non-stuttering video on YouTube. Sounds simple right?
    here is what I did:
    I have recorded some aerial footage with a GoPro 3+, added some effects in After effects, brought the results over in Premiere pro for some minor editing and then used Media encoder to get it to a format that youtube likes. My detailed steps are as follows:
    -Take GoPro footage (59.94 fps, 1920 x 1080 in H.264 codec) and transcode it through GoPro studio using the CineForm codec so it plays nice with AE (I keep my 59.94 fps and same dimensions (1920 x 180).
    -Load transcoded footage in AE (I checked if my composition settings are the same as the imported transcoded footage)
    -Apply effects (3d camera tracking, add some 3d text, some lights, environment layer) and render the clip out as a quicktime lossless file (PNG) – result is 3 clips from AE that I now want to bring into Premiere Pro for some editing
    -Import PNG file in Premiere Pro (I drag the clip to new sequence item so the sequence matches the clip I import in Premiere pro)
    -I make some minor edits in Premiere Pro (some transitions between clips, nothing fancy)
    -I then render out the footage using media encoder (or directly from Premiere, tried both) with the following settings:
    Format: h.264
    Preset: custom
    Export video and audio
    TV standard: NSTC
    Frame width: 1920
    Frame height: 1080
    FPs: 29.97 or 59.94 (results/problem is the same with both fps settings)
    Field order: progressive (greyed out – can’t change it)
    Pixel aspect ratio: 16:9 – widescreen
    Profile: main
    Level: 4.2 or 5.1 (same result for both settings)
    Render at maximum depth: checked
    Bitrate encoding: VBR, 2 pass
    Target bitrate: 8 or 20 (same result with both settings but obviously larger file with higher target rate)
    Maximum bitrate: 8 or 25 (same results for both settings)
    Use maximum render quality: checked
    Audio, multiplexer etc: standard settings, no change
    The rendered video runs smoothly on my mac but when uploading this video to youtube, the video stutters. I have tried multiple settings and can’t get the video to play smooth. Any tips or suggestions are welcome!
    You can watch the video here:

    Thanks.

    Rick has given you what you need, he always does.
    But the task you've described is not simple at all. It's not really an After Effects issue.
    There are many sites that offer good recommendations for maximizing your youtube workflow so your video looks the best and plays flawlessly. Youtube offers a good set of parameters. Some of this stuff is worthless, too. You've got to be selective.
    Starting out delivering a full 1080HD clip is not necessarily going to work out for you. Try rendering out to a 720 file. It's far smaller so it will be compressed much less by it's upload processor. The playback may be smoother and your audience is not going to be able to tell the difference between the 720 and a 1080 clip, most of the time. 
    Encourage you to drop back someday and let us know how you made out with Rick's advice.

  • Interested in SAP IS ? Need some Assistance from Experts

    Hi Techies.
                    I am SAP XI Developer, i came to know that there is much demand for the SAP XI developers who is having Knowledge in IS-U/IDE.
    Will you please help me and assist me in this.
    Is it advisible to move from SAP XI to SAP IS.
    Please guide me...
    Regards,
    Nissi

    Nissi:
    ISU uses XI in many places - but is only a mechanism for processing messages and integrating systems.  ISU itself is nothing like PI, and so it would be a radical departure for you.
    I would suggest that you look at the help site, and other resources, as listed in the sticky threads at the top of this forum.

  • Please I need some tips of video editing.

    Hi! My name is Bruno Rauch, i'm brazilian and I need some tips for video editing..
    Here below I'm going to put a link of two videos that I had made days ago...And I'm very grateful if you guys could see and tell me some tips to encrease my video quality.
    Bubble Gun Treffen 2014 - Águas de Lindóia - SP - YouTube
    Trip to San Pedro of Atacama - YouTube
    Thanks for your help.

    What I can suggest is that you look into using image stabilization. I know that the vehicle bounces around, but if you have the front of the car in the shot, or a mountain range in the distance, the software should be able to stabilize your footage some.
    Having said that, I should also point out that there are ways to move more smoothly with your camera. There are devices available to steady the camera, called Steadycam. Here is a link.
    B&H Photo Video
    If you can't afford a Steadycam, just using a tripod can help. keep it folded up, put the camera on it, pick it up under the head, and it acts as a balancing weight to smooth out the movement.
    Using such things will also help you keep the horizon straight (except when the car is turning).
    One more thing. Carry a bottle of window cleaner and lots of clean rags.

  • Need some help from the management : A deeply dissatisfied customer

    Hi,
    I hope I am one of the very dissatisfied customers of you company. I bought a new T715 and it has already gone for a repair twice. I gave it for repair for the first time in october (ETA was 20 days and told by the service centre) and I got the phone after some 30days only after an intervention of a manager. Prior to that the customer care was saying that they do not have the parts and they have no idea about how much time the repair is gonna take. Surprisingly it took only 2day once the manager intervened.
    When I was submitting the phone on jan 14th 2011(work order number SE311MM110015), they again said that I'll get my phone back in 20 days. This time I expected that the service center guys will learn some thing from the past incidents and provide me a better service. But this time it was even worse. I did not hear from them for 35 days. So I called the customer care and had a long conversation with them on the service that is being provided but no-one including the floor supervisor(nishant) had a clue about what happening with my phone. I was startled by thier reply that they will start working on it as I have registered the complaint. Then I asked them what were they doing till now for which they had no idea. I asked for an escalation of this case to a manager which they refused. They said that I'll get an update after 48 working hours(5days).
    The episode continues. I called the help desk after 5days. Now their reply is that I will get my phone back on march 10 2011. So, it is some 57 days since the day i submitted the phone which is 3 times the ETA they promosed. Now when I ask them why is it taking so long I get the same reply as I got for the first time that they do not have parts. The I told them I cannot accept this kind of service from a company like sony erricsson for the second time. For this the floor supervisor harish said that If I want my phone back earlier they'll return the piece back to me without repairing and they are not responsible for this. This time I again asked for a managerial escalation which they again refused and asked me to call after 2 days. Can I atleast hope for a positive reply this time??
    I am perfectly okay with one device out of a lakh being defective. I understand this is the reason that you provide the customers a warranty. But I have some issues with the support which you are providing:
    1) Managerial escalations : I think I am entitled to talk to some one who can actually solve my issue when the lower level doesn't solve it in time. I do not understand why I am being denied the escalation which I did not find in any other support. They do not even provide me an email ID of a manager.
    2) Support process : What is the use of those processes in place where the people I am talking have no idea of what the next step should be. They do not have the database or knowledge of the previous cases. Even the floor supervisor have no aswers to the legitamate questions that the customer poses, they talk as if they are not responsible for these issues.
    3) Time taken: Taking some  days to provide the customer a mere update is not how a 21st century support should work.
    I hope you people agree with my ideas. And please I request all the managers who stumble upon this thread to reply and guide me about my next action.
    Thanks and Regards
    PRakash Josyula
    Work order number : SE311MM110015

    @management : Please help me... I did not get my phone back yet... this time they were saying that they will investigate into this case and this process can take 10 more days... When I asked for a manager escalation they dropped the call... And surprisingly they started dropping my calls which is not at all acceptable...
    Please managers... I need to talk to you... I need my phone back repaired....
    @others... Please lemme know a contact of a person in managerial cadre if you are ware of one...

  • I need some tips on transfering my LARGE itunes account from a pc external hardrive to time capsule for my new Macbook Air

    I just purchased a Macbook Air that is being shipped as I type, What I am trying to do is swap all the info on my external hard drive that was used for my old pc ( includes pictures, music and very Large iTunes account ) to a 2Tb time capsule that I purchased to use to store all my info for the new Macbook Air that is coming, without downloading it to the Macbook Air first. Im not sure if its even possible to do but any help is greatly appreciated. This is my first Mac and I just want to make this transfer smooth and fast. Also looking to make all future purchases from iTunes go directly to time capsule.

    i think you will need to use a computer somewhere in the process
    you could try putting Mac OS on the hard drive with the files on, and then booting from the hard drive

  • Needed: Optimization tips from a Pro for a very slow internet connection

    I am on a remote base in Iraq with about 150 people sharing a satellite connection with a 2MB pipe. It is slow. There is nothing I can do about the volume of people, QoS from the provider, and there is no competition.
    Given that, I would like to know what I can tune on my machine to make the most of a slow, frustrating experience.
    I have noticed although I have browser caching turned on, it appears my browsers (safari, Omni, FF) don't try t take advantage of it. They still spend 10 minutes trying to get in touch with the website and start from scratch. Is there a browser that visits it's cache first and then looks for changes? Are there settings I am overlooking that can force the browser to load from cache first and then look for differences? Are there command line parameters or configuration files I can edit and modify to make a difference for the better?
    I also have a buddy running linux and he installed a DNS caching mechanism that reduced his repeat lookups from 5 seconds to 0. He also installed another website data caching mechanism that truly stores the pages of websites he frequently visits. His experience was enhanced tremendously.
    What do you recommend I do from the command line and within my browsers to maximize facilities like caching to make a slow situation a little better?
    I apprecite your time and advice

    Hi Sahar,
    1) To post your adsl line statistics you can be connected to the home hub or router via wireless.
    Below is some information on how to obtain your adsl line stats. You can also see this link here ADSL Statistics
    ADSL Line Statistic Help:
     If you have a BT Home Hub like the one below...
    Then:
     1) Go to http://192.168.1.254 or http://bthomehub.home
     2) click Settings
     3) Click Advanced Settings
     4) Click Broadband
     5) Click Connection or sometimes called ADSL (see picture Below)
    The direct Address is http://bthomehub.home/index.cgi?active_page=9116 (for bthomehub3.A firmware ending in 1.3)
    or http://bthomehub.home/index.cgi?active_page=9118 (for bthomehub3.A firmware ending in 94.1.11)
    You will need to copy and past all the adsl line statistics ( Including HEC, CRC and FEC errors). You may need to click " More Details"
    There are more useful links on Keith's website here: If you have an ADSL connection, please select this link
    2) To run and post the results of a BT Wholesale Speed Test it is recommended to do this with a wired ethernet connection, as a WiFi connection can be effected by other electronic devices in your property.
    It is also best to have a landline phone of some sort, even if you don't use it, at is is a very handy tool to test your landline for any noise. 
    As any noise on your landline can dramatically reduce your broadband performance.
    You can get a cheap corded landline phone from most electronic stores or online. 
    They are also good in emergencies when there is a power cut as a corded landline phone will still work.
    Hope that helps,
    Cheers
    I'm no expert, so please correct me if I'm wrong

  • Need some tips

    Hi friends,
    I am very new to Java and swing. I have done a couple of swing applications, but they don't involve a lot of complex GUI actions. They are like supporting applications.
    But, now I got a project which is basically a GUI only project which needs to be developed in swing. And I don't know how swing applications are developed in a more commercial environment.
    So, how can I prepare myself to develop a solid swing application with quality coding. What are all the things that I must follow and I must avoid.
    If I can look at some really nice open source software which is swing based, then I may get an idea.
    Thank you all and I hope all the gurus and experts in swing will have some advice for me.
    Thank you.

    Start with a good IDE! If you are not already using
    an IDE that allows you to do visual GUI design take a
    look at NetBeans or Eclipse (with the Visual Editor
    plugin).Thank you John for replying, I use Eclipse. But I don't use VE, and I won't be using it too because of my project limitations.
    But, what are all you think is necessary for GUI applications to be very appealing and very user friendly, i mean a solid swing application.
    I heard many people say that we should forget about look and feel if we do projects on swing, how much of it is true. Can't we create attractive GUIs using swing.
    I just saw a commercial application called jdiskreport from jgoodies i suppose, and it was looking great. What's your opinion friends. Did you see any swing app that is stunning, both visually and performance wise.

  • I REALLY NEED SOME TIPS TO GET SOME GB'S PLEASE!!!!

    Please help

    If you are referring to your Mac's startup disc getting full,
    You should never, EVER let a conputer hard drive get completely full, EVER!
    With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
    If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
    Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
    Have you emptied your Mac's Trash icon in the Dock?
    If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
    If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
    If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
    Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
    Look through your other Mailboxes and other Mail categories to see If there is other mail you can archive and/or delete.
    STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
    Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
    Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
    Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
    Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
    When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
    Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
    move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
    If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
    Good Luck!

  • HELP! I need some help from true Mac fans! What should I buy???

    So, I'm moving to Japan, which has a couple of implications (other than the fact that my wife's parents and my parents are looking for any legal recourse to stop us from taking their only grandchild out of the country). More importantly however, I have had to sell my B&O TV and music system (different signals from the UK where we now live). I also decided to sell our stereo (or rather my wife decided it was too bulky so as long as it was not in the living room or bedroom I could keep it...). Finally, I need a new laptop for personal use. I have some friends that are absolute mac fans, who have convinced me to go over to the other side (i.e. yours).
    The opportunity I now have is to create a complete system as I need a laptop, something to play my music, a TV, etc. Given I am starting from a clean sheet I was hoping somebody out there could help me 'design' a complete set-up. My wife and I are keen photographers (both photography and video), we like listening to music, and watching movies (we definitely need a region-free DVD player), so what should we buy?
    Any input would be hugely appreciated.

    OSX also supports IME right out of the box.
    日本語 ー わかりません
    It sets up pretty well, too; I like it more than Mircrosoft's implementation (language bar).
    Only thing to keep in mind is where you buy the MacBook; if you get it in Japan you'll get a Japanese keyboard, which displays most of the kana alongside the keys. You also get the conversion and switch keys on the keyboard itself, which is great.
    The MacBook Power Unit is multi-voltage, so no matter where you pick it up the worst you need is a plug adapter; although getting one from apple would be best. Just don't think you need to buy a new power unit, only the plug and cable.

  • I need some input from the iphone community with regards to an App that I'm looking for.

    If anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate it. If I'm posting in the wrong place, I apologize.
    Many times I take pictures of schedules, reciepts, or itinerary and send it via mms or e-mail to my daughter @college. Often I'd like to "highlight" specific info on the picture, but the apps that let me do this only offer this feature on a PDF file. (I already have goodreader) I have the app Labelbox which would be great in this instance, (I can place labels anywhere on a photo) however, none of the labels they provide are transparent/flourescent. Drawing apps are messy and don't provide the kind of coverage I need for neat highlighting of specific words or sentences. In short, does anyone know of an app that will let me place transparent labels on specific places on a photo? (Being able to change the width or length would also be an added bonus)
    TIA

    Yes. However, some folks like to use the Combo OS updates directly from Apple's Download site rather than going through Software Update.
    BTW: Have you checked the places where you keep your music CDs if you have any?
    If you are using a computer desk, the insall discs should always be kept in a safe place not to far from your computer or at least in a place where all your other computer stuff is.
    All of my CDs relating to my computers are kept in a CD/DVD binder inside my computer desk drawer.

  • MacBook Pro Running slow, need some tips please.

    Hi all, been a while since I've been in the forums. I have a year and a half old MBP, 2.16ghz w/ 2GB ram. As the months roll by, it seems as if its performance has gone downhill. I think it might be a few factors: 1, about a year ago I ran VMware fusion (beta) to run XP, when i removed it, I dont think I got rid of everything, always seemed slower since then. 2, about 6 months ago I installed a 1GB of ram myself, my mac recognizes it, but I swear it goes slower than before. Now I may just be paranoid, but better safe than sorry. Are there any good, (cheap or free), utilities or programs to clean up and speed up my mac? Or, anything I can do myself? I dont want to take it in to someone. Thanks guys and gals.

    "I ran VMware fusion (beta) to run XP, when i removed it, I dont think I got rid of everything, "
    Use Spotlight to search for straggler files.
    AppZapper, CleanApp & Hazel are programs that do all the work for you. Hazel & CleanApp gets rid of all straggler files. I only keep AppZapper around because I like the zapping noise it makes.
    AppDelete. Best of all this software is free!
    "Are there any good, (cheap or free), utilities or programs to clean up and speed up my mac?"
    Onyx
    "Or, anything I can do myself?"
    Max out your RAM.
    Empty the trash!
    Open up your application folder & go through all your apps. Trash all the apps you no longer want and/or use.
    An easier way to do this is to open the Application folder in list view & press the Command+j keys.
    In the the dialog that appears, click the "This Window Only" button & the "Calculate All Sizes" check box.
    Wait a bit until your file & folder sizes have all been calculated, then click the "Size" column to sort your apps from the fattest to the most anorexic.
    Get rid of all your photo files you don't want and/or need. Same goes for those pics off the websites you downloaded (gifs, jpegs, etc.).
    I'm old fashion. I still keep my photos in a photo album. So when people come over my house, they can actually "touch" & "feel" my photos without me running to my computer to "show my photos".
    Get rid of all your music files you no longer listen too. Especially, if you already have the actual CDs and/or DVDs or you can later redownload from a website.
    Use Spotlight to make sure you got rid of everything. You can even trash directly from Spotlight!
    Drag what you don't want and/or need to the trash. Better yet, download this neat little shareware app demo called AppZapper. It basically does all the work for you by not only trashing the apps but the apps preference files, caches & all its associated files.
    Another software that does the above is AppDelete. Best of all this software is free!
    Burn what you want and/or need onto CDs or DVDs.
    Not everyone has the luxury of purchasing an external HD and/or a .Mac account to store their "stuff, junk, music & photos".
    You can check with your ISP to see if they offer free storage space. Most if not all do now-a-days. I store all 5000+ of my music (mp3s) files & 500+ music videos in my ISP storage bin.
    There are thousands if not millions of free storage facilities on the web also. Use your favorite search engine, Google &/or MacGoogle to search them out as they come in different storage sizes to fit your needs & wants.
    Check for duplicate fonts.
    Applications>Font Book
    Select “All Fonts”
    If you see any “black dots” next to any fonts this mean you have duplicates and/or multiple versions of these fonts.
    To clean this up, select a “black dotted” font or the Apple + click to select multiple dotted fonts;
    Edit>Resolve>Duplicates.
    What the above does is turns off the duplicates & multiple version fonts. Not delete them.
    More than likely the “extras” were installed by other programs and/or other users.
    Clear out font caches
    Use FontNuke. It does all the work for you. And, best of all it’s FREE.
    Printer Drivers
    Get rid of all the printer drivers you don’t need & use except the ones for your current printer(s)/scanner(s).
    HD>Library>Printers Folder
    If you accidently threw something out that you needed for your printer/scanner it can be easily obtained from the manufacturer’s website and/or from the CD that came w/the printer/scanner.
    Garage Band
    Has about 1GB of loops stored. Get rid of some some them. You surely don’t use, like and/or need them all.
    HD>Library>Audio/Apple Loops>Apple>Apple Loops For GarageBand
    Or just get rid of the Garage Band app altogether if you don’t use it.
    Get rid of extra languages
    Strip your computer down to your “native” tongue.
    You can do this with a FREE utility called Monolingual. Another app that apparently does all the work for you. I’ve never used it. However, a lot of users here swear by & recommend it highly.
    However, there is a warning for *native English speakers*. Make sure you keep BOTH English and English (United States).
