Please help me in understanding relationships in SQL

This is according to
*"One-to-one relationships occur when there is exactly one record in the first table that corresponds to exactly one record in the related table."*
One-to-one relationships are single-valued in both directions.
My understanding with the above is that
Consider a Zip Table
ZipNo Studentname
12 Harry
13 Kiran
A Student Table
ID Name ZipNo
101 Harry 12
and there should not be any more student with zipno 12 . Then this will be a One to One
Am i right ?

SQL*PLUS using START command - please help me to understand

Hello dear friends,
I met one issue that i can't understand. Could you please explain me what is wrong in my logic.
I have created sql file called DUMMY.sql
the file context is:
SELECT dummy
FROM dummy_tbl
WHERE dummy_col=&dummy_var;
I go to SQL*Plus DB version (10.2.0.4.0).
I promt command: START DUMMY 1
and expecting *&dummy_var* to be replaced with *1* and query be executed as it is described in Oracle SQL*PLUS reference ([http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B12037_01/server.101/b12170/ch6.htm#sthref1058|http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B12037_01/server.101/b12170/ch6.htm#sthref1058] ).
But instead i'm getting Enter value for dummy_var:
please help me to understand
thanks in advance.

You need to use &1 instead of &dummy_var.
The number references the position of the parameter to use;&1 is the first parameter, &2 would be a second parameter and so on.
SELECT dummy
FROM dummy_tbl
WHERE dummy_col=&1;

Please help me to understand Transaction option in SSIS container

Hi experts,
I am confused about Transaction option in SSIS container,
1. Required - Start the transaction. What is mean that start transaction?
2.Supported- join the transaction ..
can you please help me to understand.
Thanks

I think Vaibhav already answered your question but here's more from my end.
1.
Package - Transaction Option - Supported
SEQC - Transaction Option - Supported
3 Execute SQL Tasks - Transaction Option - Supported
So, package / SEQC / SQL 1 / SQL 2 / SQL 3 doesn't involve in a transaction i.e. think of those tasks are not included in
BEGIN TRANSACTION / COMMIT TRANSACTION
Sequence Container
--Execute SQL Task 1
INSERT INTO dbo.t1 (a)
SELECT 10
--Execute SQL Task 2
INSERT INTO dbo.t1 (a)
SELECT 11
--Execute SQL Task 3
INSERT INTO dbo.t1 (a)
SELECT 'aa'
When we execute package, it will insert 10, 11 values into table dbo.t1 and since there's an error in the 3rd statement, it'll fail
2.
Package - Transaction Option - Required
SEQC - Transaction Option - Supported
3 Execute SQL Tasks - Transaction Option - Supported
Now, package will Start a transaction since it's Transaction Option is "Required" , so now the SEQC (3 Execute SQL tasks) will
be inside transaction / join the transaction because their transaction option is "Supported".
Package - Information: Starting distributed transaction for this container. --BEGIN TRANSACTION
(You'll see this statement in Processing / Execution Results tab)
SEQC
--Execute SQL Task 1
INSERT INTO dbo.t1 (a)
SELECT 21
--Execute SQL Task 2
INSERT INTO dbo.t1 (a)
SELECT 22
--Execute SQL Task 3
INSERT INTO dbo.t1 (a)
SELECT 23
Package - Information: Committing distributed transaction started by this container. -- COMMIT TRANSACTION
(You'll see this statement in Processing / Execution Results tab)
When we execute package, it will insert 21, 22, 23 values into table dbo.t1 and also you can see the START TRANSACTION /
COMMIT TRANSACTION in the Exection Results tab are at the Package Level and not at the Sequence Container level.
Without any change, if you change the value from 23 to 'aa' in the 3rd Execute SQL task then you'll see
Information: Aborting the current distributed transaction. statement in the 3rd Executed SQL Task in Execute Results tab
which is at the Sequence container / Execute SQL task 3 level and it's because their Transaction option is Supported and so they
joined the transaction
Please see the screenshot below that under Package, the START TRANSACTION but ABORT TRANSACTION is at Execute SQL task
level
3.
Package - Transaction Option - Supported
SEQC - Transaction Option - Required
3 Execute SQL Tasks - Transaction Option - Supported
Please see the screenshot below that under Sequence Container, the TRANSACTION has started. Since the the Sequence container's
parent (which is package) has not started any transaction and so the it started it's own transaction.
4.
Package - Transaction Option - Required
SEQC - Transaction Option - Required
3 Execute SQL Tasks - Transaction Option - Supported
See the screenshot below which is same as first screenshot.
Since Package's transaction property is set to "Required" and it's Parent to Sequence Container
and so package started the started the transaction, and though Sequence container's transaction option is "Required",
it will not start a new transaction rather it "joins" the transaction that was already opened by it's Parent (Package).
Now, if we see the definitions what Supported and Required means -
Supported - Specifies that this container will not start a transaction.
However, it will participate in a transaction if the parent container started one. This is the default. (4th Example)
Required - Specifies that this container will cause a new transaction to be started unless the parent container already has a transaction,
in which case, the parent’s transaction will be joined. (2nd and 3rd Examples)

Please help me in understanding hashcode()

I have some doubt with hashcode(), please help me in understanding.
As it is always advised that whenever you override equals() method, override even hashcode(). As equals() returns the equality of two objects i.e it returns whether two objects are equal or not. The hashcode(), returns int value, i.e if two objects are equal than both hashcode will be same.
Now my question is:
1. When equals() method is comparing 2 objects and returning whethere both are equal or not. Then why we need this hashcode().
2. When this hashcode(), is going to be call?
Please tell me Whatever I understood is right or not....

rajalakshmi wrote:
2. When this hashcode(), is going to be call?
equals() method will implicitly call hashCode() method to compare objects.No it won't. Where did you get that?
Here is the actual code to Strings equals method
    public boolean equals(Object anObject) {
     if (this == anObject) {
         return true;
     if (anObject instanceof String) {
         String anotherString = (String)anObject;
         int n = count;
         if (n == anotherString.count) {
          char v1[] = value;
          char v2[] = anotherString.value;
          int i = offset;
          int j = anotherString.offset;
          while (n-- != 0) {
              if (v1[i++] != v2[j++])
               return false;
          return true;
     return false;
    }Now, where is hashCode called there?

Please help me to understand what is the meaning of Acess point Channel utilization?

       please help me to understand what is the meaning of Acess point Channel utilization? If i want to mange the capacity of my Office Wi-Fi network what are the factor i need to monitor.

Hi Ankit,
Channel Utilization
The 802.11, 802.11b, and 802.11g standards use the same 2.4 GHz band. All must interoperate with each other, which introduces additional overhead reducing channel throughput. Many sites already have products using the Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz band. Additionally, there are many other products that use the same 2.4 GHz frequencies as used by Wi-Fi. Other products include Bluetooth, cordless phones, video game controllers, surveillance cameras, and microwave ovens.
Before the installation of the Cisco Unified Wireless Network, a site can be tested for channel interference and utilization with tools from AirMagnet, Wild Packets, Cognio, and others. The Wireless Control System (WCS) AP On-Demand Statistics Display report provides a spectrum review of the following:
•Noise by channel
•Interference by channel
•Client count versus RSSI
•Client count versus SNR
•Channel radar detection versus time

In my Test table which i am inserting to check the times...
I am geting on these 2 records after that it hangs up...
start time of MEMBER_LOAD_CURRENT_PCP_SPAN 07/08/2009 11:41:21
start time of opening members cursor(before open members command) 07/08/2009 11:41:21I have to call some other functions for each member to get additional details thats the reason i am going for Procedure.Instead it is just a simple SQL
Thanks in advance

It is taking lot of timeYou could perhaps split it up in smaller, isolated parts.
Running certain steps separate.
..is it possible to find out the issues without running the proc?Other than have other people on OTN give their ideas/share experiences?
Not that I'm aware of.
There are lots of statistical views, you might be able to deduct from their data, but I personally prefer running the procedure and just trace it. But I'm always willing to learn new approaches, btw.
Still, you have 2 things to look at, at least:
- avoid loops in loops if possible
- check your predicates, if you apply a function, you lose the index, unless you create a function based index.
edit
One more thing (how could I overlook that):
You commit your instrumentation code ( insert into test_number_char(str) ) IN the loop.
Please remove commit in your loops...
Commit only once, at the end of your transaction.
Never commit in a loop.
(Preferrably the client commits)
And remove every commit in your loop...

PLEASE help me with this error java.sql.SQLException

The crash occurs in getRecordSet(ResultSet r) method and it occurs on ANY line. I've commented each line to see where it occurs.

I am very confused why this is crashing on me. It didnt crash in the older version of this application.
Please help!

Don't do this either
SELECT * FROM Table1 Explictly name the columns in the order that you are going to fetch them. This makes your code easier to follow later and as side benefit prevents any changes in the column ordering from blowing your code to smitheens.
And I do hope your table is not in fact called Table1.

Please Help: Career Path for becoming a SQL DBA

Hi All
I am a Software developer with around 15 months of experience in .Net 2.0 and VSTO.
I am currently working in a SQLServer 2000 project.
I feel more interest to work with database than front end coding.
Can anyone suggest what need to be done for the one to be a DBA.
Could you please provide more details on the roles and responsibilities and the scope for career development on becoming a DBA.
In what Timeline can i be a DBA. After becoming a DBA what are the career options available. Please help me out in deciding my career
Thanks in Advance,
Sidharth

On these days DBA is an abstract level word. DBA can be further classified to Development DBA , Production DBA , Data warehouse dba, ETL DBA , DB Architect DBA and even may be REPORTING DBA. Each job has its own significance. Role for each dba may differ. Some time DBA perform multiple role in an organization (in my case i am doing Architecting / part time Production DBA and Dev DBA role).
In addition to Kalman suggestion, what you can do is , you can start from Virtual labs provided by Microsoft. If you ask the timeline, its all depends. Hands on experience is the key.

Can anyone please help with a Connect by PRIOR sql?

Hi,
I am not so well versed in Oracle analytic functions and am having trouble with a sql.
Oracle Version: 9.2.0.1.0
I have a tree table storing heirarchies upto 4 levels.
create table FAMILY_TREE
TREE_ID NUMBER not null,
PARENT_ID NUMBER,
NAME VARCHAR2(100)
I know that using a CONNECT BY PRIOR, I can find out who the previous ancestar is.
select
f.tree_id TreeId,
f.parent_id ParentId,
f.Name Name
from family_tree f
connect by
prior f.tree_id = f.parent_id
start with f.parent_id is null
I need to display all the ancestars in a single line (in different columns), which is where I am stumped.
I need the output, in different columns as :
Joe Jack Harry Rick Ned
Bascially, I need to display in a single row, all the ancestars.
I tried to use joins but it was very very slow due to the fact that I had to perform multiple joins.
Can anyone please point me in the right direction?
Data:
