OT: MySQL...minus (-), decimals & display

I'm a little confused about using negative integers in a
MySQL database.
First, imagine a column with just three rows, with the
following values:
100
98.3
1.07
If I create a database table field with the specs DECIMAL
4,1, then it
should display as follow, right?:
100.0
98.3
1.0
Now imagine that I add a fourth row with a negative value:
100.0
98.3
1.0
-100.5
Let's say I want to display the following on my webpage:
100.0
98.3
1.07
-100.5
Would the same specs - DECIMAL 4,1 - still work, or do I need
to change
it to DECIMAL 5,1 to accommodate the minus sign? And when I'm
finished,
will PHP or JavaScript interpret this as a numerical field,
or will the
minus signs introduce a little confusion? Will I be able to
make the
table columns sortable, or do I have to use PHP or JavaScript
to handle
the minus signs?
I should be able to figure it all out by experimenting, but I
thought I
could save some time by asking someone who's already done
this. Thanks.

DECIMAL (4,1) will handle a range of values from -999.9 to
999.9

Decimals displayes in the List of Totals

Dear experts,
When executing the list of totals records the system displays the amounts in JOD with the following format "30.000" instead of "300.00". This is due to the settings in table TCURX where currency JOD is with 3 decimals.
But I would like to display the data with the usual format, i-e "300.00" : which setting do I have to change ?
NB : when requesting the data in a cube (via Listcube) you have the possibility to select or not the "Do not use any conversion" option. This option deals with this kind of problem. But how do you do for the List of totals ?
Thanks for your help
Regards,
Thibaud

Sorry, my case was not clear.
In fact, the problem comes from BCS Flexible Upload for figures with currency key that have more than 2 decimals (in my example 3 decimals for JOD). In that case, the list of totals displays the figures with a default output conversion, that is to say with these 3 decimals. The problem is that when uploading the flat file, the first step that should be done (that is to say storage with 2 decimals only) is not performed by the system automatically ( indeed if you do a load from data stream, the system multiplies the amount by 10 => standard behaviou). As a result, you need to use the output and input conversion in the mapping tab of the flexible upload.

Custom module pool + Amount field decimals display same as standard screen display

Hi All,
Requirement: A custom module program screen field has to be designed which displays decimal values of amount fields same as amount fields in standard screen.
Standard screen behavior: If the standard screen fields are observed, they refer to data elements WRBTR or AZSOL_F05A (transactions FB50/FB03/FB01). However, number of decimal places that are visible on screen are dependent on the currency that is provided.
Both the data elements have 2 decimal places.
For currency USD two decimal places are displayed - in TCURX - decimal places are two.
For currency JPY or CLP - zero decimal places are displayed - in TCURX - decimal places are zero.
i.e., even though the screen field refers to data element or domain that has the characteristic to show 2 decimal places, based on currency, decimal places are adjusted.
I would like to know how this is happening on standard screen fields.
Solution Required for: How to make the custom screen amounts to display same number of decimal places as standard screen amount fields.
P.S: Before posting the query here, research has been done in SDN and other places. It has been identified that quantity fields adjustments are discussed. However for amount field even though discussed earlier, did not reach a conclusion.
I would like to get a solution for this one.
Thanks in advance.
Goutham.

Thank you all for taking time to take a look at this query.
This issue has been resolved.
Resolution: If the standard transactions (FI transactions in specific) are observed, whenever there is a field that displays amount value, there will be a corresponding field (may not be beside the amount field, somewhere on the screen or in the same sequence of screens) where the currency key value would be entered.
For instance, if you look at FB50 - there is field on top for the user to input currency key value (like USD or CLP or INR).
When any amount field is declared - this currency key field is provided as the reference field in the screen attributes of the amount field.
In short, in the custom module pool program, provide a field that holds currency key value and use this field as reference field for the amount fields.
Do repond to this thread if the resolution is not clear.
Thank you all once again.

Mac pro works fine, minus the display

Ok, so this is a bit of an odd question, I think. When I turn on my computer, I can hear it boot up only the display doesn't work. Blank screen. Cnce it's booted up, if I press the volume button, I can hear it changing volume, if I open itunes, I can hear it playing music, so I know the computer is working, just no picture.
I've ruled out the monitors, as they work fine with other computers. Here's the kicker. If I shut the computer off, open it up, jiggle the video card around a little, and turn it back on it works perfectly fine. Until I shut the computer off again, then we go through the same process. It's an early 2008 mac pro, and I have the 256 MB ati radeon, I think, video card that came with it.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi,
It sounds like your Graphics card isn't seated properly.
Remove all cables from Mac Pro, then remove side, earth yourself to avoid static, then remove the graphics card. You might want to clean out any fans on the Graphics card while it's out. Re-insert the graphics card, replace side panel, then reconnect your cables and try starting your system again.
If the same thing happens, it could be either the graphics card having an issue, cable of the monitor not properly inserted or possibly an issue on your logic board.
If re-seating the graphics card doesn't work, contact Apple Tech Support for further assistance.
Hope this helps.

Foreign characters not displaying

Hi... I am developing a web app that includes a database of world cities, many of which have foreign characters in their names. The MySQL database is displaying the characters correctly, but when it comes to displaying them in drop down menus, the foreign characters are displayed as blank boxes.
The application is a J2EE Java app.
In the index.jsp file, in the html section, I have specified various types of character sets, including the standard iso-8859-1 and utf-8, but none make a difference.
The home page with the drop-down menus is at www.your-astrology-report.com/index.jsp. From the pull-down menus, select "International", then "Greece", then "NON-ENGLISH FIRST LETTERS" and you'll see what I mean.
The database code that puts the city names into the drop down menu is as follows, although as a fragment, it's incomplete.
try{
 out.print("<select name='city'>");
 out.println("<option value='0'>Select Birth Town - Check Region!</option>");
 if(letter.equals("?")){
 q="select * from "+regid+" where country='"+country+"' AND city NOT RLIKE '^[A-Z]' order by city";
 } else {
 q="select * from "+regid+" where country='"+country+"' AND city LIKE '"+letter+"%' order by city";//city begins with letter
 ResultSet rst=execute_sql_query(q);
 int count=0;
 while(rst.next()){
 out.println("<option value='"+count+"'>"+rst.getString("city")+" - "+rst.getString("subdiv")+" "+SubDiv+"</option>");
 count++;
 out.println("</select>");
I am very new to Java.
Is there some basic way of telling either the query and/or the out.print statement to get, preserve, and display these foreign characters correctly?
Please keep it simple! Like I said, I'm new to all this, and most of the Google queries I've made to try to figure this out have been gobble-de-gook to me! LOL!
Thanks,
Fartian

Thanks everybody for your suggestions. So far, I'm sorry to say, none of your suggestions have helped, though.
I suspect, though, that the reply concerning character streams (PaulClapham) holds the answer. I just don't know how to implement this in my case, i.e. how to apply this to the out.println statements in the previously given code block. My experience with Java is limited. Any ideas?
I should probably tell you how all this is structured in terms of one file calling another:
First we have the index.jsp (www.your-astrology-report.com/index.htm), which has dynamic input fields, the one in question being this:
<td colspan="2"><div id="cities"><select name="city"><option value="">Select City</option></select></div></td>
 <td colspan="2">Select First Letter of City First!</td>div id="cities" refers to a function in a second file, xmlhttp.jsp, which is called by the dynamic input field located just above the "cities" field.
Here is the function:
function handleCityU(regid_letter_country){
 document.getElementById("cities").innerHTML="Loading cities...";
 url="internal_requestU2.jsp?regid_letter_country="+regid_letter_country.value;
 var xmlhttp=myXMLHttpRequest();
 xmlhttp.open("GET",url,true);
 xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function() {
 if(xmlhttp.readyState!=4)return;
 document.getElementById("cities").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
 xmlhttp.send(null);
}This function passes the variable "regid_letter_country.value" to yet another file that then parses the variable, requests the required database data, and creates the out.println statements that then populate the dynamic pull-down menu that displays the cities in the original index.jsp file.
THIS IS WHERE I NEED IT TO BE DISPLAYING INTERNATIONAL CHARACTERS. The code for this part is what I originally posted.
Help!
Many thanks...

BLOB display in flash

First, please do not post about using a file system for
images rather than storing them in mysql as I know how to do this
and I want to store the images in a database. If you can explain
more of the security of a file system then I will listen as that is
the only issue I'm having with the file system. However, all I want
to know is how to take an image in a blob field in a mysql database
and display it in a flash movieclip. I can use php to echo the
image straight to a browser no problem. I've read I may have to
create a temporary image on the server and display that, but there
is little documentation, actually none, aside from using a file
system on how to handle images in mysql and display them in flash.
Please advise as I can't believe it's this difficult to display an
image in flash from a mysql database.

Thanks for the reply. It answered my question, but left me
wondering how to load multiple images. Do i have to call the same
php file and string a different variable for multiple instances of
the component? Such as:
loader1.contentPath = "pics.php?&picid="+picnumber+"";
loader2.contentPath = "pics.php?&picid="+picnumber2+"";
It seems like hell for the php file on the server with all
the request. Is there a way to get all the pictures I need with one
call to one php file? Please advise.

- minus signs appearing in Query

Hi
Certain key figures get minus signs in front of them in one of our queries. When the data is browsed in the Infocube / ODS, there is no minus sign.
We have checked the +/- symbol in 'sign change' for the key figures in Bex but no matter what setting I choose, I still get the minus sign displayed.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Conor

Hi,
edit the query properties. Goto Tab Page: Value Display.
Display of +/- Signs
Here you specify how the minus sign is displayed. The following display options are available for negative values:
● Before the Number -123.45: The minus sign is positioned before the value (default setting).
● After the Number 123.45-: The minus sign is positioned after the value.
● In Parentheses (123.45): Negative values are displayed in parentheses.

Negative number cannot be displayed in table if the column is too narrow

Hi, All
When a number is formatted as a certain formatting(not locale formmatting),Negative number cannot be displayed in table if the column is narrower than the negative number, just minus is displayed.
Can you help me? Thanks.
Version: EHP1 for netweaver 7.0 SP3
Best regards,
Jiande Ding

Hi,
I think this has nothing to do with positive and negative numbers, By default the alignment of the text is Left, if you dont want to see '-' sign initially then you can change the alignment of the text to center or right in the display tab of properties for that column.
As you as saying that at runtime the numbers are visible if manually adjusted. to icrease the width of that column permanently goto Layout tab of the story board and increase the size of the table and then increase the width of the column.
the Fit Contents in the Layout should be set to "Actual Size".

Adding pictures to mysql

I would like to upload a picture in flash that will send it to a php page which sends the picture to mysql database and displays it in flash.

You wouldn't put the picture into the database; rather, you'd put the image name in the database. Then you can get the image on the page by placing the path to the image's location in the HTML and adding the filename from the database. One common way to do this is to use PHP as a scripting language to a) extract the filename from the database and b) place the path/filename into the image's src attribute.
So - what is your question?

Images from MySQL

Here's an extremely quick guide to saving images in MySQL (or
any other
database for that matter): DON'T DO IT.
Databases are for storing data, not images. Store the images
in the
normal file system, and use the database to store details of
where the
image is located.
Yes, you can store images in a database, but it leads to
table bloat,
and fragmented tables. It also involves quite a lot of
scripting, which
is not automatically generated by Dreamweaver.

Question on retrieve image from mysql

i want to retrieve image from mysql database and display on GUI
can anyone tell me how to do
Thank you

You can use the JDBC API for Java Database Connectivity. With this you can obtain data from the database using Java. There is an excellent tutorial here at Sun.com: http://www.google.com/search?q=jdbc+tutorial+site:sun.com You can get the MySQL JDBC driver at their own site: http://www.google.com/search?q=download+jdbc+driver+site:mysql.com Get the most recent version which suits your environment. There is also good documentation available over there.
For displaying in the UI, the approach differs per UI. As you didn't mention which UI you are using, I can't help you further in detail.
