Pre-populating many items with one call to the database

Hi,
I have a form, containing eight text items, that needs to provide a 'copy from latest record' function, so when the form is rendered in 'Create mode' the data from the latest record is copied to the form and can then be updated.
I could use the 'Default Value' property of each item, but as I would be retrieving the same row for each item this doesn't seem very efficient.
Can anyone recommend a better way of doing this?
Thanks
Andrew.

Andrew,
You could create a Process that runs On Load - Before Header that does a
Select Into your items.
e.g:
Select Col1, Col2, Col3
into :P1_Field1, :P1_Field2, :P1_Field3
from Your_Table
Where (your conditions);Doug

How can I treat many tables with one handler(?) ?

Hello~
I am applying BDB to my embbeded system not rich in resource.
Some *.db files are called frequently.
But, Opening a *.db file [db_create(&dbp, NULL, 0) AND dbp->open] takes a long time in BDB
So, I loaded this functions onto a booting module to call opening functions just one time.
And all D/B handlers(?) are loaded in all run time
But, a D/B handler takes about 360Kbytes. And there are too many *.db files(10) where a table is

Or
If you have the most efficient way to call openning functions just one time, please tell me
Thank you

Hello,
Opening the database handles is expensive due to
opening a file on disk. Is it possible for the application
to use in-memory dbs? Otherwise is there a way for the application
to cache the DB handles and reduce the overhead associated with
opening and closing them?
Thank you,

Pre populate an item with source type="Database Column"

Hello gurus,
How can I pre populate an item with source used "Always, replacing any..." and source type="Database Column"?
I have a form that creates/updates rows in a table and when creating a new row I want to populate some of the fields based on some parameters from the previous page. How can I achieve this?
I tried adding a conditional process when PK is null and populate the expected fields, but in the browser they are not shown with those values, even if I look into the session I can see that they have the values assigned in the process ?!?!?!
Thanks in advance,
Florin

Florin,
Use the Default Value item attribute. In you case, set the Default Value Type to Static Text with Session State Substitutions and enter your item using the &P1_ITEM_NAME. syntax in the Default value text box.
Thanks,

After calling AT&T tech support one more time, and explaining to them that the glitch was on their network, they admitted that the problem was at their tower...
I continued to use the phone on EDGE mode for two more days until the problem was fixed.
I even got a call back from a tech support guy asking me if my phone was working properly....
I wish they would have admitted to the problem before I sat at the apple store for 2 hours.

Is there a way to open a new window with one site when the home setting on Firefox has multiple websites?

While working in Firefox is there a way to open a new window with one site when the home setting on Firefox has multiple websites?

I guess I'm not explaining myself fully. I have a home page designation in firefox preferences that starts firefox up with 5 sites. that pretty fills up my screen with tabs.
At some point I want to initiate another WINDOW in firefox (NOT a tab). I would like to be able to open up a window that ONLY has ONE tab, or as if there were only one site designated as the home page. This gives me a workspace that has my most useful sites available in tabs in one window, and also another WINDOW that I can move around in and even create more tabs without messing up my primary set of TABS (in my primary window). I see how this might not be doable without doing what I do now, which is open up a new window, and then close tabs until the new window just has one tab for me to work from.

Can I source an environment before making a system call from the database

I can execute system calls from the database like
Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("env");
but I am unable to source an environment before making the call.
Our goal is to from within the database to execute tkprof on a
raw trace file then load both files into clobs in a table. We can load
the raw trace no problem, we just cannot figure out how to execute
tkrprof on the raw trace then load its output.
Anyone know if this is possible to hava java get a runtime and then call
an environment file to source the environment so that path's and other environment variables are set prior to executing another system command.

Thanks for that...but can I do multiple edits in my Stored Procedure Vaibhav and pass back something that I can then utilize in my SSIS? For example...
One and Only one Member Span...so I'd be doing a SELECT COUNT(*) based on my match criteria or handle the count accordingly in my Stored Procedure and passing something back via the OLE DB Command and handling it appropriately in SSIS
Are there "Diabetes" claims...again probably by analyzing a SELECT COUNT(*)
Am I expecting too much from the SSIS...should I be doing all of this in a Stored Procedure? I was hoping to use the SSIS GUI for everything but maybe that's just not possible. Rather use the Stored Procedure to analyze my stged data, edit accordingly, do
data stores accordingly...especially the data anomalies...and then use the SSIS to control navigation
Your thoughts........
Could you maybe clarify the difference between an OLE DB Command on the Data Flow and the Execute SQL Task on the Control Flow...
You can get return values from oledb comand if you want to pipeline.
see this link for more details
http://josef-richberg.squarespace.com/journal/2011/6/30/ssis-oledb-command-and-procedure-output-params.html
The procedure should have an output parameter defined for that
I belive if you've flexibility of using stored procedure you may be better off doing this in execute sql task in control flow. Calling sp in data flow will cause it to execute sp once for each row in dataset whereas in controlflow it will go for set based
processing

Inserting multiple selection from checkbox in to one column of the database

Hi,
how to insert multiple selection from checkbox into one column of the database.(I select array of values from checkbox ,then how to insert tat array of values iinto single column name).
Anyone can u reply me
Thanx

hhhmmm.... is this what you mean?
lets say you hava a checkbox1 with values value1, value2, value3 and you selected all there of them? then you want then to be stored in the database in one column?
now the question is:
Is it going to be one column one row?
datafield
value1,value2,value3
Or one column multiple row?
datafield
value1
value2
value3
Which is it?

Minimize calls to the database..

Im trying to find out what would be the best way to minmize calls to the database..
I created a function that has to determine if a record exist on a table..
There is a cursor that loops thru another table to see if the value exist on other tables.. .. and the function is called in every loop.. but that means that it has to make a trip to the database every time..
Is there is anything like in .net datatable that i can load the entire table in memory (80.000 + records) and query from memory without having to go to the database every time ? Or is it acceptable to call the function in each loop ?
What are the tradeoff's ?
Thanks !!!

for stuff like this, it really depends what your bottle neck is.
if you are finding that the CPU is sitting at < 20% while your hard drive is spinning like mad, then investigate using collections (aka:associative arrays aka: pl/sql tables). to a bit of reading there's heaps of stuff out there, basic format:
declare
type type_foo is table of tbl_foo%rowtype index by binary integer;
tab_foo type_foo;
begin
select * from tbl_foo bulk collect into tab_foo;
--you can then refference each row in the collection by:
for i in 1..100 loop
dbms_output.put_line(tab_foo(i).foobar);
end loop; --this will output the first 100 foobar's.
--alternatively, if you have a number as a unique identifier in the table,
--you can use that as the table index and check for existance like the following:
if tab_foo(i).exists then
--stuff
end if;
end;
(disclaimer: the above was just off the top of my head - syntax may be slightly incorrect, RTM)
this puts the whole table in memory.
now if after doing this, you find that your cpu is sitting at 100% and your hard drive is barely spinning, then you've potentially not solved your problem. check how long it takes - if one is not significantly faster than the other, then investigate other ways of speading it up (indexes, hints etc.)
if you use a collection and you get 100% memory usage AND your hard drive is spinning like crazy, you've perhaps used too much memory and the server's using the swap file, defeating the purpose of putting something in memory in the first place.
anyway, try it and see :D

Manage "Do not permanently delete items until you back up the database" mailbox level

Hi,
I need the active directory attribute name for "Do not permanently delete items until you back up the database" at mailbox level and the EMS command for enabling/disabling
the above setting (the other settings in the following screenshot I found).
Thanks in advance!

Well, there are only 3 possible values I believe... 1 = database default, 2 = retain for custom period and 3 = Retain Until Backup Or Custom Period... However I have seen 2 doesn't work for some reason and if you have database default is not selected
and keep deleted item for x days set to something else other than default and Do not permanently delete items until you back up the database is unselected then it set the value to 5 as well.... I guess other than these possible values if anything else is set
then it will give you warning that object is corrupted.
But yes value is other than 3 then checkbox is automatically deselected set based on what value it has... in short I would check what's the value for deletedItemFlags by setting all the possible options before coming to conclusion... ;)
