OmniPortlet for SQL problems

Hi folks,
I'm really new in Oracle. So I have a little question that I can't solve.
I want to create an SQL-based Omni portlet but I can't tune a connection to DB.
What should I enter into the form of connection parameters (conn name, pwd, conn string and driver name)? I've tried different combinations but had no success.
Regards,
Alexander.

Alex,
Did you have a chance to read the online help? This is what it says:
Database:
Enter the string to use to connect to the database. The format of this string depends on the selected driver type.
Note: The format of the Connection String depends upon the selected driver type.
    * If the selected driver type is "Oracle-thin" or "Oracle-oci8," the connect string format is
      Host:Port:sid. For example, myMachine:1521:iasdb.
    * If the selected driver type is "JDBC-ODBC Bridge," the connect string format is Data Source Name. For more information on how to configure the JDBC-ODBC bridge, refer to http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/jdbc/getstart/bridge.doc.html.Peter

Problem to create "New Database Diagram" in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio for SQL Server 2012 SQL Express

Hi,
I have installed SQL Server 2012 Express edition (name of installation media: en_sql_server_2012_express_edition_with_advanced_services_x64.exe) from MSDN and I have installed the application on my pc with Windows 7 Exterprise.
Everything is working fine except when I am trying to create "New Database Diagram", where I recieve following error message:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt. (Microsoft.VisualStudio.OLE.Interop)
BUTTONS:
OK
I have tried two times to reinstall SQL Server 2012 Express and I have installed Cumulative Update #3 for SQL Server 2012 and restarted the machine, but I have still the same problem with the same error message.
Installed the following fixes:
1) 2012_RTM_DAC_CU3_2723749_11_0_2332_x64
2) SQLServer2012_RTM_CU3_2723749_11_0_2332_x64
These files was installed successful.
How can I solve the problem?

Jan Nilsson

Hi Jan,
Have you installed Visual Studio in your machine?
The problem seems to be related to installing and uninstalling the VS 2011 RC0 program.
The workaround involves copying the files from another PC with SQL 2008 or 2012 from one machine to another. Just replace this folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\microsoft shared\MSDesigners8

Please find solution for this problem ...pl/sql table problem

Hi
I am using forms 6i. Now i am having a form to insert purpose. which contain 70 fields to enter. that is there are 10 screens contain 10 fields each. Each screen contains two buttons 'next' and 'previousscreen'. Now what my problem is after entering the 20 fields and i am entering 27th field in 3rd screen i noticed that i did a mistake in 2nd field value which is in 2nd screen. when i moved from third scrren to first screen by using pushbutton previous screen. all data in second and third screen has gone. For this i used a pl/sql table and put the code in 'nextscreen' button. the code is
declare
type emptabtype is table of :emp%rowtype
index by binary_integer;
emptab emptabtype;
begin
insert into emptab values(:emp.eno,:emp.ename.....so on);
commit;
end;
The above is the approach i used. but not successful. Is the approach followed by me is correct (I strongly believe that some mistake is there). If not, pls tell me what to do for my problem. What my ultimate requirement is i should not loss the data entered in the fields even when i modify any data on any screen.
I hope you people understand my problem
Thanks in Advance,

Hi there,
I have a form which has over 150 fields (from 4 tables). I have used a tab-canvas form to handle all the input - 2 screens for the fields from the first table and 1 screen each for the remaining 3 tables. I can navigate between the tabs without trouble. When everything is done, the contents of the screens are saved to the database via a menu item. Most of the fields are database items.
My point is that Oracle Form has no problems in handling
such processing and I am only using its normal default capabilities.
What type of canvas are you using? There should be no reason to use buttons to navigate betweeen screens if you are using a tab-canvas form. You should not have to use PL/SQL table to handle the data if the fields are normal database columns.
Regards,
John

Restore Log with Standby Mode on VHDX disk problem - hotfix for SQL 2014 needed

Restore Log with Standby Mode on Virtual VHDX disk cause a 9004 error in SQL Server 2014 ( test performed on Web edition and Standard version )
Similar Bug for SQL 2008R2 is already registered with number hotfix
KB2987585
Restore operations always fail in Hyper-V R2 Server in situations ( text copied from
KB2987585 page )
The primary database has its transaction log file (.ldf) stored on a disk that has "Bytes per Physical Sector" set as 512 bytes.
You take the transaction log backups of this database, and then you try to restore it by using the standby option on the secondary database.
The secondary database transaction log file (.ldf) is located on a VHDX disk that has "Bytes per Physical Sector" set as 4,096 bytes.
In this scenario, the restore operation fails and returns the following error message:
Error: 9004, Severity: 16, State: 6.
An error occurred while processing the log for database '<databasename>'. If possible, restore from backup. If a backup is not available, it might be necessary to rebuild the log.
After this error occurs, the secondary database goes into a suspect state.
So restore from Generation1 to Generation2 machine ( where only VHDX disk is possible ) always fails and database is not accessible.
Please create hotfix for SQL 2014 version

GeoRaptor 3.0 for SQL Developer 3.0 and 2.1 has now been released

Folks,
I am pleased to announce that, after 5 months of development and testing, a new release of GeoRaptor for SQL Developer 2.1 and 3.0 is now available.
GeoRaptor for SQL Developer 3 is available via the SQL Developer Update centre. GeoRaptor 3 for SQL Developer 2.1 is being made available
via a download fro the GeoRaptor website.
No release notes have been compiled as the principal developer (oops, that's me!) is currently busy doing real work for a change (another 3 weeks), earning a living
and keeping the wolves at bay. More extensive notes (with images) will be compiled when I get back. (Unless anyone is offering! See next.)
We are still looking for people to:
1. Provide translations of the English dialog menus etc.
2. Write more extensive user documentation. If you use a particular part of GeoRaptor a lot and think
you have found out all its functionality and quirks, contact us and offer to write a few pages of
documentation on it. (Open Office or Microsoft Word is fine.) Easiest way to do this is to simply
make screen captures and annotate with text.
3. Conduct beta testing.
Here are the things that are in the new release.
New functionality:
Overhaul of Validation Functionality.
1. User can specify own validation SELECT SQL as long as it returns three required columns. The SQL is thus totally editable.
2. Validation update code now allows user to associate a PL/SQL function with an error number which is applied in the UPDATE SQL.
3. UPDATE SQL can use WHERE clause of validation SELECT SQL (1) to update specific errors.
   NOTE: The generated UPDATE statement can be manually edited. It is NEVER run by GeoRaptor. To run any UPDATE, copy the statement
   to the clipboard and run in an appropriate SQL Worksheet session within SQL Developer.
4. Main validation table allows:
   a. Sorting (click on column header) and
   b. Filtering.
   c. Copying to Clipboard via right mouse click sub menu of:
      - Geometry's SDO_ELEM_INFO array constructor.
      - SDO_GEOMETRY constructor
      - Error + validation string.
   d. Access to Draw/Zoom functions which were previously buttons.
   e. Added a new right mouse click menu "Show Feature's Individual Errors" that gathers up all the errors
      it can process - along with the ring / element that is host to the error (if it can) - and displays
      them in the Attribute/Geometry tabs at the bottom of the Map Window (where "Identify" places its results).
      The power of this will be evident to all those who have wanted a way of stepping through errors in a geometry.
   f. Selected rows can now be deleted (select rows: press <DELETE> key or right mouse click>Delete).
   g. Table now has only one primary key column, and has a separate error column holding the actual error code.
   h. Right mouse click men added to table menu to display description of error in the new column (drawn from Oracle documentation)
   i. Optimisations added to improve performance for large error lists.
5. Functionality now has its own validation layer that is automatically added to the correct view.
   Access to layer properties via button on validation dialog or via normal right mouse click in view/layer tree.
Improved Rendering Options.
1. Linestring colour can now be random or drawn from column in database (as per Fill and Point colouring)
2. Marking of SDO_GEOMETRY objects overhauled.
   - Ability to mark or LABEL vertices/points of all SDO_GEOMETRY types with coordinate identifier and
     option {X,Y} location. Access is via Labelling tab in layer>properties. Thus, coordinate 25 of a linestring
     could be shown as: <25> or {x,y} or <25> {x,y}
   - There is a nice "stacked" option where the coordinate {x,y} can be written one line below the id.
   - For linestrings and polygons the <id> {x,y} label can be oriented to the angle between the vectors or
     edges that come in, and go out of, a vertex. Access is via "Orient" tick box in Labelling tab.
   - Uses Tools>Preferences>GeoRaptor>Visualisation>SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY bracket around x,y string.
3. Start point of linestring/polygon and all other vertices can be marked with user selectable point marker
   rather than previously fixed markers.
4. Can now set a NULL point marker by selecting "None" for point marker style pulldown menu.
5. Positioning of the arrow for linestring/polygons has extra options:
   * NONE
   * START    - All segments of a line have the arrow positioned at the start
   * MIDDLE   - All segments of a line have the arrow positioning in the middle.
   * END      - All segments of a line have the arrow positioning in the END.
   * END_ONLY - Only the last segment has an arrow and at its end.
ScaleBar.
1. A new graphic ScaleBar option has been added for the map of each view.
   For geographic/geodetic SRIDs distances are currently shown in meters;
   For all SRIDs an attempt is made to "adapt" the scaleBar units depending
   on the zoom level. So, if you zoom right in you might get the distance shown
   as mm, and as you zoom out, cm/m/km as appropriate.
2. As the scaleBar is drawn, a 1:<DEMONINATOR> style MapScale value is written
   to the map's right most status bar element.
3. ScaleBar and MapScale can be turned off/on in View>Properties right mouse
   click menu.
Export Capabilities.
1. The ability to export a selection from a result set table (ie result of
   executing ad-hoc SQL SELECT statement to GML, KML, SHP/TAB (TAB file
   adds TAB file "wrapper" over SHP) has been added.
2. Ability to export table/view/materialised view to GML, KML, SHP/TAB also
   added. If no attributes are selected when exporting to a SHP/TAB file, GeoRaptor
   automatically adds a field that holds a unique row number.
3. When exporting to KML:
   * one can optionally export attributes.
   * Web sensitive characters < > & etc for KML export are replaced with > < & etc.
   * If a column in the SELECTION or table/view/Mview equals "name" then its value is
     written to the KML tag <name> and not to the list of associated attributes.
     - Similarly for "description" -> <description> AND "styleUrl" -> <styleUrl>
4. When exporting to GML one can optionally export attributes in FME or OGR "flavour".
5. Exporting Measured SDO_GEOMETRY objects to SHP not supported until missing functionality
   in GeoTools is corrected (working with GeoTools community to fix).
6. Writing PRJ and MapInfo CoordSys is done by pasting a string into appropriate export dialog box.
   Last value pasted is remembered between sessions which is useful for users who work with a single SRID.
7. Export directory is remembered between sessions in case a user uses a standard export directory.
8. Result sets containing MDSYS.SDO_POINT and/or MDSYS.VERTEX_TYPE can also be written to GML/KML/SHP/TAB.
   Example:
   SELECT a.geom.sdo_point as point
     FROM (SELECT sdo_geometry(2002,null,sdo_point_type(1,2,null),sdo_elem_info_array(1,2,1),sdo_ordinate_array(1,1,2,2)) as geom
             FROM DUAL) a;
   SELECT mdsys.vertex_type(a.x,a.y,a.z,a.w,a.v5,a.v6,a.v7,a.v8,a.v9,a.v10,a.v11,a.id) as vertex
     FROM TABLE(mdsys.sdo_util.getVertices(mdsys.sdo_geometry(2002,null,null,sdo_elem_info_array(1,2,1),sdo_ordinate_array(1,1,2,2)))) a;
9. A dialog appears at the end of each export which details (eg total) what was exported when the exported recordset/table contains more
   than on shape type. For example, if you export only points eg 2001/3001 from a table that also contains multipoints eg 2005/3005 then
   the number of points exported, and multipoints skipped will be displayed.
10. SHP/TAB export is "transactional". If you set the commit interval to 100 then only 100 records are held in memory before writing.
    However, this does not currently apply to the associated DBASE records.
11. SHP/TAB export supports dBase III, dBase III + Memo, dBase IV and dBase IV + Memo.
    Note: Memo allows text columns > 255 characters to be exported. Non-Memo formats do not and any varchar2 columns will be truncated
    to 255 chars. Some GIS packages support MEMO eg Manifold GIS, some do not.
12. Note. GeoRaptor does not ensure that the SRID of SDO_GEOMETRY data exported to KML is in the correct Google Projection.
    Please read the Oracle documentation on how to project your data is this is necessary. An example is:
    SELECT OBJECTID,
           CODIGO as name,
           NOME as description,
           MI_STYLE,
           SDO_CS.TRANSFORM(shape,'USE_SPHERICAL',4055) as shape
      FROM MUB.REGIONAL;
13. NOTE: The SHP exporter uses the Java Topology Suite (JTS) to convert from SDO_GEOMETRY to the ESRI Shape format. JTS does not handle
    circular curves in SDO_GEOMETRY objects you must "stroke" them using sdo_util.arc_densify(). See the Oracle documentation on how
    to use this.
Miscellaneous.
1. Selection View - Measurement has been modified so that the final result only shows those geometry
   types that were actually measured.
2. In Layer Properties the Miscellaneous tab has been removed because the only elements in it were the
   Geometry Output options which have now been replaced by the new GML/KML/etc export capabilities.
3. Shapefile import's user entered tablename now checked for Oracle naming convention compliance.
4. Identify based on SDO_NN has been removed from GeoRaptor given the myriad problems that it seems to create across versions
   and partitioned/non-partitioned tables. Instead SDO_WITHIN_DISTANCE is now used with the actual search distance (see circle
   in map display): everything within that distance is returned.
5. Displaying/Not displaying embedded sdo_point in line/polygon (Jamie Keene), is now controlled by
   a preference.
6. New View Menu options to switch all layers on/off
7. Tools/Preferences/GeoRaptor layout has been improved.
8. If Identify is called on a geometry a new right mouse click menu entry has been added called "Mark" which
   has two sub-menus called ID and ID(X,Y) that will add the labeling to the selected geometry independently of
   what the layer is set to being.
9. Two new methods for rendering an SDO_GEOMETRY object in a table or SQL recordset have been added: a) Show geometry as ICON
   and b) Show geometry as THUMBNAIL. When the latter is chosen, the actual geometry is shown in an image _inside_ the row/column cell it occupies.
   In addition, the existing textual methods for visualisation: WKT, KML, GML etc have been collected together with ICON and THUMBNAIL in a new
   right mouse click menu.
10. Tables/Views/MViews without spatial indexes can now be added to a Spatial View. To stop large tables from killing rendering, a new preference
    has been added "Table Count Limit" (default 1,000) which controls how many geometry records can be displayed. A table without a spatial
    index will have its layer name rendered in Italics and will write a warning message in red to the status bar for each redraw. Adding an index
    which the layer exists will be recognised by GeoRaptor during drawing and switch the layer across to normal rendering.
Some Bug Fixes.
* Error in manage metadata related to getting metadata across all schemas
* Bug with no display of rowid in Identify results fixed;
* Some fixes relating to where clause application in geometry validation.
* Fixes bug with scrollbars on view/layer tree not working.
* Problem with the spatial networks fixed. Actions for spatial networks can now only be done in the
schema of the current user, as it could happen that a user opens the tree for another schema that
has the same network as in the user's schema. Dropping a drops only the network of the current connected user.
* Recordset "find sdo_geometry cell" code has been modified so that it now appears only if a suitable geometry object is
in a recordset. Please note that there is a bug in SQL Developer (2.1 and 3.0) that causes SQL Developer to not
register a change in selection from a single cell to a whole row when one left clicks at the left-most "row number"
column that is not part of the SELECT statements user columns, as a short cut to selecting a whole row. It appears
that this is a SQL Developer bug so nothing can be done about it until it is fixed. To select a whole row, select all
cells in the row.
* Copy to clipboard of SDO_GEOMETRY with M and Z values forgot has extraneous "," at the end.
* Column based colouring of markers fixed
* Bunch of performance improvements.
* Plus (happily) others that I can't remember!If you find any bugs register a bug report at our website.
If you want to help with testing, contact us at our website.

1. John O'Toole
2. Holger Labe
3. Sandro Costa
4. Marco Giana
5. Luc van Linden
6. Pieter Minnaar
7. Warwick Wilson
8. Jody Garnett (GeoTools bug issues)
Finally, when at the Washington User Conference I explained the willingness of the GeoRaptor Team to work
for some sort of integration of our "product" with the new Spatial extension that has just been released in SQL
Developer 3.0. Nothing much has come of that initial contact and I hope more will come of it.
In the end, it is you, the real users who should and will decide the way forward. If you have ideas, wishes etc,
please contact the GeoRaptor team via our SourceForge website, or start a "wishlist" thread on this forum
expressing ideas for future functionality and integration opportunities.

Thank you for this.
I have been messing around with this last few days, and i really love the feature to pinpoint the validation errors on map.
I has always been so annoying to try pinpoint these errors using some other GIS software while doing your sql.
I have stumbled to few bugs:
1. In "Validate geometry column" dialog checking option "Use DimInfo" actually still uses value entered in tolerance text box.
I found this because in my language settings , is the decimal operators
2. In "Validate geometry column" dialog textboxs showing sql, doesn't always show everything from long lines of text (clipping text from right)
3. In "Validate geometry column" dialog the "Create Update SQL" has few bugs:
- if you have selected multiple rows from results and check the "Use Selected Geometries" the generated IN-clause in SQL with have same rowid (rowid for first selected result) for all entries
Also the other generated IN clause in WHERE-clause is missing separator if you select more than one corrective function
4. "Validate geometry column" dialog stays annoyingly top most when using "Create Update SQL" dialog

WARNING:Could not lower the asynch I/O limit to 224 for SQL direct I/O. It is set to -1

Hi,
We have recently upgraded single instance database to 10.2.0.5 patch set 4 on windows server 2003 64 bit
After upgrading we are facing issue of number of warnings in trace files (bdump)
WARNING:Could not lower the asynch I/O limit to 224 for SQL direct I/O. It is set to -1
I know this is bug 9772888 and oracle suggest to upgrade to 11.2.x but we can't upgrade it now on early basis.
According to oracle it is useless warning and can be ignored but these traces are consuming more than 500MB space per day and we are unable to delete trace files as oracle countinously using those file for writting
it is production database kindly suggest solution other than upgrade.
trace files sid_sxxx_XXX.trc
if we set max_dump_file_size to XXXM or G will it resolve our problem?
or is there any way to flush warnings to new file and delete old one.
Please suggest
Thanks
shah

duplicate thread.
I suggest you don't multipost.
I also suggest you upgrade from Windows 2003 (10 years old and probably desupported)
and 10gR2 (desupported for a few years)

What is the best design pattern for this problem?

No code to go with the question. I am trying to settle on the best design pattern for the problem before I code. I want to use an Object Oriented approach.
I have included a basic UML diagram of what I was thinking so far.
Stated simply, I have three devices; Module, Wired Modem, and Wireless Modem.
In the Device Under Test parent class, I have put the attributes that are variable from device to device, but common to all of them.
In the child classes, I have put the attributes that are not variable to each copy of that device. The attributes are common across device types. I was planning to use controls in the class definition that have the data set to a default value, since it doesn't change for each serial number of that device. For example, a Module will always have a Device Type ID of 1. These values are used to query the database.
An example query would be [DHR].[GetDeviceActiveVersions] '39288', 1, '4/26/2012 12:18:52 PM'
The '1' is the device type ID, the 39288 is the serial number, and the return would be "A000" or "S002", for example.
So, I would be pulling the Serial Number and Device Type ID from the Device Under Test parent and child, and passing them to the Database using a SQL string stored in the control of the Active Versions child class of Database.
The overall idea is that the same data is used to send multiple queries to the database and receiving back various data that I then evaluate for pass of fail, and for date order.
What I can't settle on is the approach. Should it be a Strategy pattern, A Chain of Command pattern, a Decorator pattern or something else.
Ideas?

Hi Ben,
I haven't much idea of how override works and when you would use it and why. I'm the newest of the new here.
Good. At least you will not be smaking with a OPPer dOOPer hammer if I make some gramatical mistake.
You may want to look at this thread in the BreakPoint where i trie to help Cory get a handle on Dynamic Dispatching with an example of two classes that inherit from a common parent and invoke Over-ride VIs to do the same thing but with wildly varying results.
The example uses a Class of "Numeric" and a sibling class "Text" and the both implement an Add method.
It is dirt simple and Cory did a decent job of explaining it.
It just be the motivation you are looking for.

How to get Cumulative Update packages for SQL Server Compact v3.5 SP2 for use on a Windows Mobile device

There are links on the pages for various Cummulative Updates for SQL Compact v3.5 SP2 which look to relate to the desktop version, but are these also available for Windows Mobile devices? If so, what is the process to get hold of them?
We are seeing intermittent problems with corrupted databases on devices which are using SQL Compact v3.5 SP2 and have seen that some of the Cumulative Updates do relate to corruption and would like to see if these can help to solve the issue.

Just select the KB article, at the top of each there is a link to request a hotfix, you will then get a email with a download link. The 8088 and 8109 hotfixes also apply to Windows Mobile.

GeoRaptor 3.2.1 Released for SQL Developer 3.x

Spatialites!
After 6 months of development and testing, GeoRaptor 3.2.1 has been released for SQL Developer 3.x (tested on 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2). This release no longer supports SQL Developer 1.x or 2.x releases due to internal changes to the SQL Developer APIs.
GeoRaptor can be downloaded from the GeoRaptor project's sourceforge page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/georaptor and installed via Help>Check for Updates>Install from Local File. Installation via SQL Developer's update mechanism should be available soon.
The release notes for this release are:
* Fixed issues with validate geometry functionality in particular the update dialog box.
* Revamped "About GeoRaptor" form. Includes clickable URLs, links to mailing lists, version number listing, thanks to testers etc.
* Placed "About GeoRaptor" icon on GeoRaptor's map toolbar.
* SQL Developer NLS settings accessed: improvements in the display and entry and numeric data.
-- Tolerances in Spatial Layer properties will display with the NLS decimal separator eg 0,05.
     Some parts of GeoRaptor such as Validation that show and accept numbers have not been changed from when someone else modified the code.
     If you double click on the left MBR/right MBR icon in the map at the bottom, the current centre position will display according to the NLS settings.
     Editing the value to jump the map to that point works even with grouping separators and decimal separators being commas!
* Spatial Layer Draw has been modified to use NLS based decimal formatting.
* New geometry marking/labelling options have been added. In particular you can now label the vertices of a linestring/polygon with the following additional elements:
-- Cumulative length
-- Measure (M)
-- Z value
-- Labelling of vertices with <id>{X,Y} now also honours 3/4D geometries. If geometry has XYY then it will be labelled as {X,Y,Z} etc.
* You can also label each vector/segment of a linestring/polygon with:
-- Length
-- Cumulative Length
-- Bearing (approximate for geodetic/geographic data)
-- Distance (approximate for geodetic/geographic data)
-- Bearing and Distance (approximate for geodetic/geographic data)
* The font properties of the mark text can be changed independently of the feature label. This includes the offset and label position (CC, LL, UR etc).
* New feature labelling options have been provided:
-- First/middle/last vertex,
-- Any supplied sdo_point within a line/polygon's sdo_geometry object, or
-- Calculated by GeoRaptor on the client side using Java Topology Suite.
* Result sets now have the ability to:
-- Copy to clipboard all geometries across many rows and columns.
-- Display one or more (selected) geometries in a popup image window. This functionality is also available in the result set generated by an Identify command.
* New GeoRaptor Preferences:
-- Width and height in pixels of the new popup image window (displaying one or more geometry objects) can be set;
-- Colours of orphan, missing and correct metadata entries for Metadata Manager;
-- Prefixing with MDSYS for all currently supported spatial objects - sdo_geometry, sdo_point, sdo_elem_info, sdo_ordinates, sdo_dim_info - has been made an option.
-- There is now a new property called "Show Number Grouping Separator" in Tools>GeoRaptor>Visualisation.
     If it is ticked a number will be formatted with the thousands separator in Tools>Database>NLS eg 10000.000 will display as 10,000.000.
* Sdo_Geometry display of all spaces in text between elements of the sdo_geometry array have been removed.
   This was done mainly to compact the sdo_geometry strings so that they are as small as possible when displaying or copying to clipboard.
* Help pages added to the following dialogs with more to follow:
-- Metadata Manager,
-- Shapefile Importer and
-- Layer Properties dialogs.
* GeoRaptor menu entries renamed. New "Manage All Metadata" entry added to View>GeoRaptor menu.
* Spatial Index creation dialog now supports additional index parameters and parallel build settings.
* Metadata Manager overhauled:
a. Shows:
     1. Metadata entries which have no underlying oracle object (orphan)
     2. Metadata entries for existing underlying objects (existing case)
     3. Database objects with sdo_geometry for which no metadata entry exists (new)
b. All orphan/existing/missing colours for (a) can be set via Preferences>GeoRaptor>Visualisation
c. All actions for main (bottom) metadata table are in a single right mouse click menu.
     Some entries will only appear if a single row is selection (metadata copy), others (delete and copy to clipboard) will appear for one or more.
d. Can now switch between open connections to modify metadata of other objects in schemas other than the starting object.
e. Buttons revamped.
* Tab/Shapefile export:
a. Export now supports NULL valued columns. Can be exported as an empty string (if DBase override in GeoRaptor Preferences is ticked) or
     as a predefined value eg NULL date => 1900-01-01 (set in new GeoRatptor Import/Export Preferences).
b. Some work attempted on export of NLS strings (still not corrected).
c. Objects with no rows now correctly processed.
* Shapefile Import
-- Bug relating to Linux file names corrected.
* Fixed issue (identified by John O'Toole) with spatial index underlying a view not being used in map display.
* Reinstated sdo_nn as the principal method for Identify (requested by John O'Toole).
* Fixed problem with handling single click zoom in and out in GeoRaptor map etc.
* Fixed problem with rendering lines from database item (identified by Vladimir Pek).The new "About GeoRaptor" should be read by all people installing GeoRaptor.
Please, please consider registering your email address with our private email list so that we can get a feel for the sorts of people downloading and installing GeoRaptor.
Please consider helping us with documentation or the internationalisation via translating properties files from English to your native language.
GeoRaptor is written and maintained by people who use SQL Developer and Spatial every day but we don't pretend we know everything that users want: please let us know via our feature request page at SourceForge.
We don't get paid for what we do so are always looking for additional help.
Here are some of the requests we have had for improvements:
1. MySQL access
2. WMS access;
3. Ability to import shapefile data into an existing table;
4. Ability to processing multiple shapefiles into separate tables (current version can import one or more into a single target table);
5. Ability to export/import layer definitions to give to others;
6. Support for non-English character sets for varchar exports to shapefiles.Some are relatively simply, some require a lot of engineering work. For the latter, we are considering alternative funding methods to the currently completely free development approach.

Simon,
I will admit, I almost never use SQL Developer. I have been a long time Toad user, but for this tool, I fumbled around a bit and got everything up and running quickly.
That said, I tried the new GeoRaptor tool using this tutorial (which is I think is close enough to get the jist). http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/georaptor/index.php?title=A_Gentle_Introduction:_Create_Table,_Metadata_Registration,_Indexing_and_Mapping
As I stumble around it, I'll try and leave some feedback, and probably ask some rather stupid questions.
Thanks for the effort,
Bryan

Will Cumulative Update 12 for SQL Server 2008R2 SP2 fix: Warning: Unable to Verify TimeStamp for Path\ProgramName?

Hello,
I had a server crash recently and our outsource hosting tech support suggested applying Cumulative Upade 12 for SQL server 2008R2 SP2 to fix the issue. The exception from our dump file "Warning: Unable to Verify TimeStamp for Path\ProgramName"
is not in the list of hotfixes for this CU. Do you know if this will fix this issue? The CU warns not to apply the CU if your issue id not addressed by the CU. Here is a portion of the dump file with the relevant error:
This dump file has an exception of interest stored in it.
The stored exception information can be accessed via .ecxr.

Thank you,
Steve -

The error message appears to be related to a debug session and not come from the actual crash.
So all I know is that you hade a server crash. I don't even know exactly what that means. Did Windows bite the dust? Or was it only SQL Server?
Assuming the latter, I would expect the SQL Server errorlog to have some information (and that would be ERRORLOG.1 or earlier, since the server have been restarted), but if SQL Server died the output may be incomplete.
There may be also dump files, but as I rarely look into these, I am not sure how to interpret them. But I am quite confident that "Unable to verify TimeStamp..." is not the reason SQL Server went down.
I would suggest the following course:
* If the server is not critical, do nothing. As long as it has onlyl happened once, it has only happened once.
* If the server is critical, open a case with Microsoft if you are not able to figure out the reason yourself. The key here is "Unknown exception - code 000042ac".
* If it happens again, you should absolutely open a case. An important thing here is whether the stack dump is identical or something different. If the stack dumps are identical, you may have hit a bug in SQL Server or the OS, and applying CUs or OS
fixes could help if it is a known issue. If the stack dump is something else, you have ghosts in the machine - that is, bad hardware.

Date formats for SQL statements used by recordset object

Hi,
Date formatting appears to be quite problematic for Business One. I did a forum search for date issues and I don't think I saw any of them with an "answered" status. I have an issue with formatting a date for the creation of an SQL statement that the DI sends to SQL Server 2005. I need to format a date so that the localization parameters don't matter for either the client machine or SQL Server's machine. We don't have a problem as long as our machines are localized as USA.
I have PL 22 and I have a form - ours - where I use the Today() function to fill a date field. So this is a date that is not entered by the user. The result of this function is consistent with the localization parameters on my machine. We have two other date fields on the form where the user must type in the date.
As a test, I changed my machine to the UK parameters. I then set up the language parameters of Business One for English(United Kingdom). I changed the date format specifications in Business One so that its format is dd/mm/yy. I then brought up the form and the field that is formatted by the above function arrived in the form's field as dd/mm/yy. I then typed in the two other dates in the same format and added the record to the database. The form's table is user-defined.
I dismissed the form then brought it back up loaded with the new record. The date that was entered by the function appeared in USA format (mm/dd/yy). The dates that were typed in appeared in the Business One format (dd/mm/yy). This of course is not consistent.
When I looked at what got into the database, the formats were the opposite. Weird! To make matters really confusing, I run an SQL statement within SQL Server Mgt Studio, and use the WHERE clause to filter on the date that was based on the function. It didnt matter what format I used for the WHERE clause, the record came up. Does anyone have any idea about how I can ensure that I always use the correct date format for SQL statements passed by Business One to SQL Server regardless of where in the world the application is being run?
Thanks,
Mike

Ian,
Here's what I'm concerned about: Im using the date in a WHERE clause.
Assume the date is Aug 3, 2007.
"SELECT * FROM Table WHERE StartDate > 8/3/2007"
OR
"SELECT * FROM Table WHERE StartDate > 3/8/2007"
If the client machine is set up as USA, the today function will provide the date as formatted in the first query. If the database server is setup as lets say the UK, I believe that SQL Server query parser will interpret the date as Mar 8, 2007.
If the client machine is set up as UK, the today function will provide the date as formatted in the second query. If the database server is setup as lets say USA, I believe that SQL Server query parser will also interpret the date as Mar 8, 2007.
In both cases it would be wrong.
I know I could use the DATEPART function to get the three parts and this will make the code indifferent to the localization specs of the client machine. I need to then be able to concatenate those date parts for the WHERE clause so that the localization specifications of the database server dont matter.
Thanks,
Mike

*****Error in Microsoft JDBC drivers for SQL Server 2000****

hi guys,
I am getting the following error in my application. The error seems to have thrown by Microsoft JDBC drivers for SQL Server 2000
The application tries to execute the the following query when the error is thorwn:

Hi,
Did you ever get an answer to this? I am also having this problem.

Why can't i use "INNER JOIN" in a query for SQL Server with JDBC??????

Hi,
I'm trying to execute some SQL queries and I just don't understand what's wrong.
I�m using Tomcat and SQL Server in order to do this, but when I�m try to execute a query with a INNER JOIN statements Tomcat raise a SQL exception... at the very first time I thought there was a problem with database connection but I realize that a simple query to a table works pretty well. then I found out some problems with JDBC:ODBC.... so I install JDBC for SQL Server 2000 and test with the same simple query and works..... so, I come to a conclusion.... INNER JOIN or JOIN statements can't be used in JDBC..... please... somebody tell I�m wrong and give me a hand...
I'm using TOMCAT 4 and JDK 1.4 SQL Server 2000
Error occurs when executeQuery() is called.... not prepareStatement().... ??????
Driver DriverRecResult = (Driver)Class.forName(driver).newInstance();
Connection ConnRecResult = DriverManager.getConnection(DSN,user,password);
PreparedStatement StatementRecResult = ConnRecResult.prepareStatement(query);
ResultSet RecResult = StatementRecResult.executeQuery(); <---- Exception raise here
So much tahnks in advance,

That's exactly what I think, driver it's raising the exception, but I don't know why.... i test the same query with INNER JOIN directly from SQL Query Analyser and it's works perfectly, my problem ain't SQL, but JSP and JDBC 'cause i'm a newbie about these issues.
Common sense tell me possible problems lie in SQLServer drivers 'cause i run the same pages on JRUN through jdbc:odbc and do works well, but by now i just depend on Tomcat.....
I've installed SQL Server drivers for JDBC but i just find it doesn't work fully... could be the version of JDK i've installed? what version do i need?
( I'm running Tomcat 4 with JDK 1.4 & SQL Server 2000 W2K )
thanks for reply.

Need java 1.6.0_4 for SQL developer 3.2 64bit, Win 7

Hi All
I Need java 1.6.0_4 for SQL developer 3.2 64bit, Win 7.
SQL developer behaves weirdly sometimes. It frequently drops connection, doesn;t show compile button when i open a procedure and certain other things.... I found ver 3.0 quiet stable.
I think it may be because of my incorrect java version (1.6.0). Please tell me how can I get this Java version 1.6.0_4. I checked oracle.com, version 35 is available there....
Can you please help me by providing this ?
Thanks

No - we can't provide it. You have to download it yourself. If you have trouble with the download you should report the problem to Oracle.
>

If you checked at the Java SE Downloads page
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
Then you should have seen the 'Previous Releases' link jus above the download Icons near the top of the page.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javasebusiness/downloads/java-archive-downloads-javase6-419409.html#jre-6u1-oth-JPR
All of the available prior versions are available at that link.
But I strongly suggest you heed the advice given to use the latest 1.6 version of Java available unless you have a very good reason not to.

Re: GeoRaptor 3.2.1 Released for SQL Developer 3.x

Hey,
Referencing this that was posted in early September 2012:
GeoRaptor 3.2.1 Released for SQL Developer 3.x
I am supporting GRE's and the like at UC Berkeley and I really want to hook them up with this plug because it will make their life MUCH easier. But I have some pretty basic problems:
1. A VERY simply table that has an 8307 linestring. The query that GR defaults when the table is added :
SELECT rowid,"ID","NETWORK_ID","BEG_NODE_ID","END_NODE_ID","LENGTH","SPEED_LIMIT","DETAIL_LEVEL",
"IN_SYNCH","CREATED","MODIFIED","CREATED_BY","MODIFIED_BY","MODSTAMP","NET_GEN_ID",t.GEOM as GEOM
FROM VIA.LINKS_HOLD t
WHERE SDO_FILTER(t.GEOM,?,?) = 'TRUE'This seems to do something but nothing is ever displayed. The table definition is as follows:
CREATE TABLE LINKS_HOLD (
ID NUMBER,
NETWORK_ID NUMBER,
BEG_NODE_ID NUMBER,
END_NODE_ID NUMBER,
GEOM MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY ,
LENGTH NUMBER(9,3),
SPEED_LIMIT NUMBER(3,0),
DETAIL_LEVEL NUMBER(3,0),
IN_SYNCH NUMBER(1,0),
CREATED DATE,
MODIFIED DATE,
CREATED_BY VARCHAR2(30 BYTE),
MODIFIED_BY VARCHAR2(30 BYTE),
MODSTAMP TIMESTAMP (6),
NET_GEN_ID NUMBER
)And some sample data. I am only including the geometry
GEOM(SDO_GTYPE, SDO_SRID, SDO_POINT(X, Y, Z), SDO_ELEM_INFO, SDO_ORDINATES)
SDO_GEOMETRY(2002, 8307, NULL, SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1, 2, 1), SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY(-118.18477, 34.02929, -118.18156, 34.02932))

select geom from links_hold ;When I tried to run that the system responded with and error and pasted the following into the clipboard:
SELECT rowid, GEOM as GEOM FROM (
select
rowid,geom
from
via.links_hold
? MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY(2003,8307,NULL,MDSYS.SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1,1003,3),MDSYS.SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY(-180.0,-165.78279266572636, 180.0,165.78279266572636))
? Please keep in mind that very same query will display all the links where I run in the generic map view (GMV) of SQLD and
since GMV has little in the way of additional features it is rather frustrating to see your tool not really working, or what
is more likely is that I have a lack of understanding because I cannot find documentation that will allow me to
move forward w/o bugging you.
So Any light you can throw on this would be of great assistance. Thanks much!

Flying Guy,
The non-display is a major bug that was discovered after GeoRaptor 3.2 was released. I knew it was there a few days after
the release - it got past our testers as well. I hoped to have a release out very soon after but a bunch of things conspired to
stop this from happening. Anyway, no one complained so I figured no one was using it enough to find the bug.
The bug is fixed which you can test if you download the Early Access release from our SourceForge website.
There are some other new functions in this EA that you might discover. The main one being the ability to have a feature count
(those drawn within the map window) displayed on the view / layer tree. See GeoRaptor preferences. Another is the restoration
of right mouse click menus on the sdo_geometry columns of table/mv/view connection nodes. Also, if a table has more than one
sdo_geometry column, the first is no longer selected if you right mouse click/map etc on table node. It will display a pick list
of sdo_geometry columns for you to chose from. (There has also been a major revamp of connection management as I noted
problems since SQL Developer 3.2.)
Please download and try it. Consider joining the GeoRaptor lists to help with testing and documenting. If you find bugs in
the EA please email the right georaptor list, or use the GeoRaptor SourceForge site to register the bug. Or email me
directly simon at spatialdbadvisor dot come.
I hope to have a release ready by the end of the week but I have not heard back from the small group of testers
that we have something that is ready to go.
Wrt documentation we have added some where users have created some for me with my input. Please volunteer to
create documentation.
The simple fact of life is that:
1. GeoRaptor is downloaded by lots and lots of people (a good thing).
But:
<complain>
2. Very few responses ever occur to postings made about GeoRaptor on this forum or on our sourceforge forum: disheartening;
3. Very few bug reports or enhancement requests ever get created at sourceforge: disheartening;
4. I have become the only developer which is a bad thing. I known of some Java developers who have used GeoRaptor but
most/all expect someone else to fix bugs or develop the tool. I have spend thousands of hours on a tool that I find useful because SQL Developer
is my main Oracle access tool. But I have never, ever heard from more than 10 people over the past 3 years that they too find it useful: disheartening;
5. Attempts to contact downloaders routinely fall on deaf ears or fail: disheartening;
6. Requests for documenters, developers, testers are ignored or fail because we can't contact anyone who downloads GeoRaptor: disheartening.
</complain>
Like a lot of open source projects I do not get paid for anything I do. But what annoys me is that no one - other than a tiny brace of people - will help with anything
even when we ask.
I have also decided that major new functionality added to GeoRaptor eg GeoRasters; WMS; WFS; etc will only be done when sufficient funding, via a fundraising website
makes a set amount. This is something that the PostGIS have started doing and I think it only fair considering how many months each year I spend on development "in
the dark" for no income.
regards
Simon
