Question about "int scope" parameter in oracle.ldap.util.Util.getEntryDetails()

List,
What are the possible values for "scope" in oracle.ldap.util.Util.getEntryDetails(DirContext ctx, String base, String filter, int scope, String[] attrList)? Are there any constants?
Thanks in advance.
Leandro.

I found it out...
0 - SCOPE_BASE
1 - SCOPE_ONELEVEL
2 - SCOPE_SUBTREE
Thanks any way.
Leandro.
Ps.: I didn't understand why this numbers aren't constants in the Util class. (Or why they aren't in the doc)

Question about Object Oriented Design in Oracle

Hi everyone,
Right now I'm updating my oracle skills, years ago without programming (last time with Oracle 7.3 :O)
Well, if I have to design a new system with this features:
1.- Using Oracle as DB
2.- Web enable
3.- OO Design
My questions:
1.- What is the best practice to make database design? E-R + Object Types? I mean is better making the design on Oracle directly or in Java-UML environment?
2.- I was thinking in programming with Forms, but it works well with OO design?
3.- If I want to program some web services based, Could I do it with PL/SQL and Jdeveloper?
please if you know about articles and whitepapers about OO design approach with Oracle let me know!
Thanks.

I have been involved in some of these projects that have used Java, C#, VB, C++ etc. as front-end languagaes. I have been able to implement these projects successfully using the following approach:
1. create a relational model of the database - third-normal form (assuming it is an OLTP application)
2. Write PL/SQL code (packages and procedures mainly)
3. Interact with the front-end layer by sending and receiving ref curosors and/or PL/SQL tables
If you want to use Forms (I am assuming Oracle Forms) then there may not be much need for an OO design. Embeeding SQL in the forms will do most of what you want.

About index memory parameter for Oracle text indexes

Hi Experts,
I am on Oracle 11.2.0.3 on Linux and have implemented Oracle Text. I am not an expert in this subject and need help about one issue. I created Oracle Text indexes with default setting. However in an oracle white paper I read that the default setting may not be right. Here is the excerpt from the white paper by Roger Ford:
URL:http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/index-maintenance-089308.html
"(Part of this white paper below....)
Index Memory                                  As mentioned above, cached $I entries are flushed to disk each time the indexing memory is exhausted. The default index memory at installation is a mere 12MB, which is very low. Users can specify up to 50MB at index creation time, but this is still pretty low.
This would be done by a CREATE INDEX statement something like:
CREATE INDEX myindex ON mytable(mycol) INDEXTYPE IS ctxsys.context PARAMETERS ('index memory 50M');
Allow index memory settings above 50MB, the CTXSYS user must first increase the value of the MAX_INDEX_MEMORY parameter, like this:
begin ctx_adm.set_parameter('max_index_memory', '500M'); end;
The setting for index memory should never be so high as to cause paging, as this will have a serious effect on indexing speed. On smaller dedicated systems, it is sometimes advantageous to temporarily decrease the amount of memory consumed by the Oracle SGA (for example by decreasing DB_CACHE_SIZE and/or SHARED_POOL_SIZE) during the index creation process. Once the index has been created, the SGA size can be increased again to improve query performance."
(End here from the white paper excerpt)
My question is:
1) To apply this procedure (ctx_adm.set_parameter) required me to login as CTXSYS user. Is that right? or can it be avoided and be done from the application schema? This user CTXSYS is locked by default and I had to unlock it. Is that ok to do in production?
2) What is the value that I should use for the max_index_memory should it be 500 mb - my SGA is 2 GB in Dev/ QA and 3GB in production. Also in the index creation what is the value I should set for index memory parameter - I had left that at default but how should I change now? Should it be 50MB as shown in example above?
3) The white paper also refer to rebuilding an index at some interval like once in a month:   ALTER INDEX DR$index_name$X REBUILD ONLINE;
--Is this correct advice? i would like to ask the experts once before doing that. We are on Oracle 11g and the white paper was written in 2003.
Basically while I read the paper, I am still not very clear on several aspects and need help to understand this.
Thanks,
OrauserN

Perhaps it's time I updated that paper
1. To change max_index_memory you must be a DBA user OR ctxsys. As you say, the ctxsys account is locked by default. It's usually easiest to log in as a DBA and run something like
exec ctxsys.ctx_adm.set_parameter('MAX_INDEX_MEMORY', '10G')
2. Index memory is allocated from PGA memory, not SGA memory. So the size of SGA is not relevant. If you use too high a setting your index build may fail with an error saying you have exceeded PGA_AGGREGATE_LIMIT. Of course, you can increase that parameter if necessary. Also be aware that when indexing in parallel, each parallel process will allocated up to the index memory setting.
What should it be set to? It's really a "safety" setting to prevent users grabbing too much machine memory when creating indexes. If you don't have ad-hoc users, then just set it as high as you need. In 10.1 it was limited to just under 500M, in 10.2 you can set it to any value.
The actual amount of memory used is not governed by this parameter, but by the MEMORY setting in the parameters clause of the CREATE INDEX statement. eg:
create index fooindex on foo(bar) indextype is ctxsys.context parameters ('memory 1G')
What's a good number to use for memory? Somewhere in the region of 100M to 200M is usually good.
3. No - that's out of date. To optimize your index use CTX_DDL.OPTIMIZE_INDEX. You can do that in FULL mode daily or weekly, and REBUILD mode perhaps once a month.

Fundamental Question about int vs Integer

I don't really understand what the difference is between using the "int" keyword and using the Integer type. I've come to realise that "int" cannot be null whereas Integer can be null but why isn't int just an Integer type? Like an alias of sorts. I realise this a fairly basic question but I'm sure I'm not the only one pondering this :)

I'm not sure if the autoboxing stuff in 1.5 affects
this at all or not, but one key difference between
objects and primitives is that primitives get passed
by value, whereas objects are passed by reference.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.
Everything in Java is passed "by value". Everything.
Pass-by-value
- When an argument is passed to a function, the invoked function gets a copy of the original value.
- The local variable inside the method declaration is not connected to the caller's argument; any changes made to the values of the local variables inside the body of the method will have no effect on the values of the arguments in the method call.
- If the copied value in the local variable happens to be a reference (or "pointer") to an object, the variable can be used to modify the object to which the reference points.
Some people will say incorrectly that objects are passed "by reference." In programming language design, the term pass by reference properly means that when an argument is passed to a function, the invoked function gets a reference to the original value, not a copy of its value. If the function modifies its parameter, the value in the calling code will be changed because the argument and parameter use the same slot in memory.... The Java programming language does not pass objects by reference; it passes object references by value. Because two copies of the same reference refer to the same actual object, changes made through one reference variable are visible through the other. There is exactly one parameter passing mode -- pass by value -- and that helps keep things simple.
-- James Gosling, et al., The Java Programming Language, 4th Edition

The question about the callbackdata parameter in the function PostDeferredCallToThread()

I find if using a local variable to pass to the PostDeferredCallToThread(), then in the callback function, it cannot be recevied correctly. But as NI document said, this variable is a user-defined, will avoid declaring the data object as a global variable. how to interpret the question?
David

If you provide a pointer to the function the variable pointed by the pointer must be still in memory if you want to access it from that thread function.
One way of keeping the variable "alive" when you leave the scope of a function is to define it as static.
Dynamically allocated memory (malloc/calloc) is also accessible if not freed.

Question about variable scope

Suppose theres a class that mixes colors.
It has an constructor and two methods:
public class ColorMix {
//This is just an example but I've tried this and colors
mix and show up correctly.
public ColorMix() {
cmColor = MixColors();
} //e_constr
private void mixColors() {
//do something
Color1 = createColors();
Color2 = createColors();
//etc
private Color createColors() {
//create some color-values
//r, g and b ...
Color anColor = new Color (r, g, b) //finally create color
return anColor; //and return that color
public Color cmColor;
} // e_class_ColorMix
My question is: Howcome and how the variable
'anColor' is referred from the createColors-method to
the mixColors-method?!? I thought that anColor would
be out of scope, since its created in the createColors
I've understood it would be erased once createColors
is done with?!?
Or did MixColors make it to the 'anColor' before garbage
collector?
Thanks,
Jani

I think you are mixing up variables and objects. A variable (like "anColor" in your example) is not the same as an object. A variable is just a reference to an object that exists somewhere in memory.
Objects are eligible for garbage collection if the running program does not hold any reference to the object anymore.
Your createColors() method creates a new object of type Color and stores a reference to it in the variable anColor. Then it returns the value of the variable (which is the reference to the Color object) to the calling method: mixColors. There you have another variable (Color1) which will hold the reference to the object.
So the variable anColor goes out of scope at the end of method createColors(), but the program still has a reference to the object, stored in variable Color1.
The object is still referenced by the program and will therefore not be garbage collected.
I'd suggest you read the Java Tutorial: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/index.html

A question about focus or trend in oracle database releases

Hi,
I have a question on what is the focus or trend at a high level that can be seen in the way oracle has been delivering the data base. Among several things what can be summarized as a few technical focus areas. Can someone help? I think they are the following:
1) Focus on high availability (RAC,Data Guard)
2) Providing more and more features in the database (including oracle apex in database, regular expression support etc)
3) Exadata
4) Better managability with OEM
Can you help elaborate or suggest if this is appropriate?
Thanks

ThanksI would echo what Sybrand has mentioned already. The way things are going , the focus is on two things IMO by Oracle. One, High Availability! Oracle corp wants to ensure with every upcoming release that the downtime , either planned or unplanned, must come down to its minimum value and there should not be almost anythign which would stop the business. There are tons of enhancements which we have seen in this manner and I am sure, there are going to be so many more upcoming.
Second is the need to ensure that database is not messed up by the human mistakes (and is going to be unavailable) . So that's why we are seeing more and more automated ways of handling/doing things. Now someone may say that its bad but I believe, it would take some time before it would be streamlined. It took 30 years for Oracle to come here so we shouldn't expect them to fix the automated database thingy in just two releases. Also, Oracle is focussing of giving a one-box-solution for almost all. So whatever you need, hardware, software, application and of course, database, you would get it all from one shop i.e. Oracle. The Exadata and Oracle's Enterprise Linux are going to be big helping factors in this thing.

Question about NCHAR and NVARCHAR2 in Oracle 8.1.7

I am using Oracle 8.1.7 on Red Hat 7.2. The database encoding is UTF8.
I created a table with a field: col1 nvarchar2(5).
But I can insert only ONE Chinese character to that field.
Doesn't it supposed to be 5?
(I can insert a 5 english characters into the field)
It seems that a Chinese character occupies 3 bytes in UTF8.
Doesn't the size of NCHAR and NVARCHAR2 refer to the size of CHARACTERS not bytes?
NLS_LANGUAGE AMERICAN
NLS_TERRITORY AMERICA
NLS_CURRENCY $
NLS_ISO_CURRENCY AMERICA
NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS .,

The National Character Set in 8i was only meant to support a few special Asian character sets. Though it is set to whatever you set the database to the NCHAR columns will not work properly for UTF8. You will need to use SQL CHAR fields in order to support UTF8 in 8i. And the semantics are byte. In Oracle9i the National Character Set exclusively supports Unicode via the character sets UTF8 and Al16UTF16. The default is Al16UTF16 which is UTF-16. The 9i NCHAR fields are character semantics so field(5) would be 5 characters not bytes. There are a couple of papers on our home page that talk about unicode support at:

Question about system catalog tables in oracle 11g database

We have a customer issue and in order to trobleshoot that we need following information. We would really appreciate any input. I opened SR with support and they asked me to open a discussion here. Please see following.
what is the meaning of the part# column of the sys.tabpart table and what are the possible values that can be entered into this system catalog table. Our findings are that Oracle may have varied the meaning of this column as the data that we are seeing returned is now > 2gig which does not make sense for a partition number.
Our stored procedures use this information to retrieve information from the Oracle system tables to process a partitioned Oracle table. Our research has found that the limited description for this table (and columns) can be found in the following Oracle member at the following location:
dpart.bsq --> ...... oracle database path... \RDMS\ADMIN folder
The comment within this file notes the following:
" this value is "partition number (see discussion below)"
However, there is no additional discussion to describe what the value means and the possible variations. We need this information to move forward with our problem diagnosis and
to see what kind of updates we need to make for our stored procedures....
Thanks a lot in advance.

FinalCut XML: question about the Center parameter

Hi, I'm writing a script that will massage some of the data in the XML file export from a sequence. I'm trying to understand the settings for the Center parameter in the Viewer.
If my Center point in the Viewer is 1 horizontal and 100 vertical, that corresponds to something like this in the XML:
<name>Center</name>
<keyframe>
    <when>147</when>
<value>
    <horiz>0.000347222</horiz>
    <vert>0.0520833</vert>
</value>
</keyframe>
Any idea how those horiz/vertical numbers correspond to the values 1 and 100?
thanks,
Scott

Hi Meg, actually looking at this again I'm still confused. In my new sequence which is 1620x1080, I have vertical keyframes 0, 16, 34, 60, 79, 104 and 212. In my XML, these correspond to:
0 : 0
16 : <vert>0.00833333</vert>
34 : <vert>0.0177083</vert>
60: <vert>0.03125</vert>
79: <vert>0.0411458</vert>
104: <vert>0.0541667</vert>
212: <vert>0.110417</vert>
However, if I divide each of the left-hand values above by 1080, I get different numbers:
16 / 1080 = .0148
34 / 1080 = .0314
60 / 1080 = .0555
79 / 1080 = .0731
104 / 1080 = .096
212 / 1080 = .196
So, I'm still not understanding where the <vert> numbers are coming from. Am I missing something? I understand the zero point is the center of the frame, so maybe that affects the calculations as well.
As you can probably tell I'm trying to calculate the position of the same clip in the larger 1620x1080 frame, so it matches the relative position in the 720x480 frame. (I've changed the Scale by multiplying it by 2.25, which is easy.)
I appreciate your help.

Question about "(authAuthority) index_param failed (18)" error LDAP Log

After a couple months of working through many 10.5 OD problems (now 10.5.2 on Mac Pro) I've worked out most and only have the following error in LDAP Log
Apr 23 18:31:29 crashdummy slapd[102]: <= bdbsubstringcandidates: (authAuthority) index_param failed (18)
I know its not a critical issue and everything finally seems stable but I'd like to check know what's going on.
I tried indexing authAthority in slapd_macosxserver.conf with equality, substring, and presence directives with no change. (using slapindex after unloading )
One issue might be that the authAuthority attribute on computers and users in LDAP has 2 entries, ApplePasswordServer and Kerberosv5.
I'm new to Apple environment, so I'm not sure if this is normal.
Should there be only one entry?
I can delete ApplePasswordServer and still everything works OK including Home folders on an AFP share.
So I'd like to know if anyone who doesn't get this error has only one entry in authAuthority attribute..

I think you need to keep ApplePasswordServer in there if you want to be able to support authentication without Kerberos, like when ticket has expired.
I currently have the same issue. As I understand this is not a serious warning but I'd still like to resolve it and stop cluttering my logs. I've tried changing LDAP mappings between "From Server" and "Opend Directory" and adding the value to conf and indexing, as did you, but this doesn't seem to have any effect. I'm also seeing occasional ipHostNumber failures.
It very well might be a bug in the software because indexing doesn't resolve it. I've looked around but there doesn't seem to be a definitive answer.

Question about scope!!

Hi ~
I have a question about scope.
for example
primitive character variable ("char")
what is principle upon which it is based?
How can scope implemented?
Please explain at low level in detail..
thanks

Scopes are related to braces (and the for+catch-statements).
Inside a function nested scopes of the same name are forbidden {int x; {int x; ... } ...}, as misunderstanding could arise.
You may mention a name (method name, class name, var name), before its declaration, like:
int f() {x = 3;} int x;Implementation issues address variable locations on the stack and heap management (garbage collection), and exceptions (stack unwinding).
If you are interested in compiler construction try the javap tool, and try out the JVM, by for instance writing a compiler to JVM byte code.
To answer your question on variable clean-up: I'm afraid while playing compiler you need to calculate var addresses/frame sizes, and calls/stack frames are a bit confusing, but the rest is easy.

Question about size of ints in Xcode

Hello. I have a a few quick questions about declaring and defining variables and about their size and so forth. The book I'm reading at the moment, "Learn C on the Mac", says the following in reference to the difference between declaring and defining a variable:
A variable declaration is any statement that specifies a variables name and type. The line *int myInt;* certainly does that. A variable definition is a declaration that causes memory to be allocated for the variable. Since the previous statement does cause memory to be allocated for myInt, it does qualify as a definition.
I always thought a definition of a variable was a statement that assigned a value to a variable. If a basic declaration like "int myInt;" does allocate memory for the variable and therefore is a definition, can anyone give me an example of a declaration that does not allocate memory for the variable and therefore is not a definition?
The book goes on, a page or so late, to say this:
Since myInt was declared to be of type int, and since Xcode is currently set to use 4-byte ints, 4 bytes of memory were reserved for myInt. Since we haven't placed a value in those 4 bytes yet, they could contain any value at all. Some compilers place a value of 0 in a newly allocated variable, but others do not. The key is not to depend on a variable being preset to some specific value. If you want a variable to contain a specific value, assign the value to the variable yourself.
First, I know that an int can be different sizes (either 4 bytes or 8 bytes, I think), but what does this depend on? I thought it depended on the compiler, but the above quote makes it sound like it depends on the IDE, Xcode. Which is it?
Second, it said that Xcode is currently set to use 4-byte ints. Does this mean that there is a setting that the user can change to make ints a different size (like 8 bytes), or does it mean that the creators of Xcode currently have it set to use 4-byte ints?
Third, for the part about some compilers giving a newly allocated variable a value of 0, does this apply to Xcode or any of its compilers? I assume not, but I wanted to check.
Thanks for all the help, and have a great weekend!

I always like to think of a "declaration" to be something that makes no changes to the actual code, but just provides visibility so that compilation and/or linking will succeed. The "definition" allocates space.
You can declare a function to establish it in the namespace for the compiler to find but the linker needs an actual definition somewhere to link against. With a variable, you could also declare a variable as "extern int myvar;". The actual definition "int myvar;" would be somewhere else.
According to that book, both "extern int myvar;" and "int myvar;" are declarations, but only the latter is a definition. That is a valid way to look at it. Both statements 'delcare' something to the compiler, but on the second one 'define's some actual data.
First, I know that an int can be different sizes (either 4 bytes or 8 bytes, I think), but what does this depend on? I thought it depended on the compiler, but the above quote makes it sound like it depends on the IDE, Xcode. Which is it?
An "int" is supposed to be a processor's "native" size and the most efficient data type to use. A compiler may or may not be able to change that, depending on the target and the compiler. If a compiler supports that option and Xcode supports that compiler and that option, then Xcode can control it, via the compiler.
Second, it said that Xcode is currently set to use 4-byte ints. Does this mean that there is a setting that the user can change to make ints a different size (like 8 bytes), or does it mean that the creators of Xcode currently have it set to use 4-byte ints?
I think that "setting" is just not specifying any option to explicitly set the size. You can use "-m32" or "-m64" to control this, but I wouldn't recommend it. Let Xcode handle those low-level details.
Third, for the part about some compilers giving a newly allocated variable a value of 0, does this apply to Xcode or any of its compilers? I assume not, but I wanted to check.
I don't know for sure. Why would you ask? Are you thinking of including 45 lines of macro declarations 3 levels deep to initialize values based on whether or not a particular compiler/target supports automatic initialization? Xcode current supports GCC 3.3, GCC 4.0, GCC 4.2, LLVM GCC, CLang, and Intel's compiler for building PPC, i386, and x86_64 code in both debug and release, with a large number of optimization options. It doesn't matter what compiler you use or what it's behavior is - initialize your variables in C.

Question about navigation in session scope

Hi.
I dont know how to resolve a problem or how to focus this stuff.
I'll try to explain myself.
Let say I have a page (a.jsf) with several links, all this links navigates to the same page (b.jsf) which shows the results.
For each link in a.jsf I have attached a bean with a logic, so If I click in link 1 I go to the b.jsf showing data read from the database.table1. If I clik in link2 I go to b.jsf showing data read from database.table2, and so on...
The beans are in session scope (and must be).
The first time works ok because I initialize the bean in b.jsf, read data and I show using a selecManyListBox to show it, but if I go back and select another link it goes to b.jsf, but it shows the old data, the data read the first time, because it never calls again the init method.
Somebody has talked about using an additional bean to control this but once the bean in b.jsf is created I don't know how to call again the init method in beanB (b.jsf)..
I have attached a very simple project to deploy in eclipse 3.3 and tomcat 6.0. In this example instead of read from database I read from an structure created in memory to simulate this.
Somebody could take a look and comment something about it.

Thanks

Hi.
I understand is the same doing in the action method in a button or a commnad, the project is just an example, my real app is a tree, so is not a question about a button or a command, is about the logic being in session scope. I don't know how to face it.
thanks
