Select table name dynamically

I want to create a cursor in which the select statement should be
dynamic:<o:p></o:p>
if @PhoneType = White<o:p></o:p>
Then the select statement should
be as<o:p></o:p>
select
distinct
MODEL_NUM from
Dbo.Apple<o:p></o:p>
if @PhoneType = Black<o:p></o:p>
select
distinct
MODEL_NUM from
Dbo.Samsung<o:p></o:p>
IF @MobileId
IS NOT NULL
BEGIN
IF @PhoneType =
'white'
SET @SqlStmt
= 'select distinct MODEL_NUM from dbo.Apple'
IF @PhoneType =
'Black'
SET @SqlStmt
= 'select distinct MODEL_NUM from dbo.Samsung'
declare MOBILE
cursor for
select distinct
MODEL_NUM from Dbo.Apple

After a few decades with SQL, my rule of thumb is that you should write no more than five cursors in an entire career. Furthermore, dynamic SQL is how you tell the world you failed at your DDL and architecture, so you have to depend on future random users
to do your job.
I also see you use if-then-else flow controls in SQL! This is a declarative language. We hate that kind of programming.
Since you felt exempt from Netiquette and did post DDL, I will guess that the phones are set of entities which have a manufacturer. Putting them in separate tables is a design flaw called “attribute splitting” , much like having “Male_Personnel” and “Female_Personnel”
instead of a Personnel table with a sex_code column.
The skeleton for this kind of problem puts all the validation in a single table, thus:
CREATE TABLE Phones
model_nbr VARCHAR (???) NOT NULL,
manufacturer_name VARCHAR (???) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT Valid_Model_nbr
CHECK (CASE manufacturer_name
WHEN 'Apple' AND model_nbr LIKE '<reg exp>
THEN 'T'
WHEN 'Samsung' AND model_nbr LIKE '<reg exp>
THEN 'T'
ELSE 'F' END = 'T'),

Unresolved kernal trap - can anyone decipher?

Following is the info after a forced restart. I don't know how to interpret this but am looking for advice from anyone that can. I suspect bad RAM although it checks out ok. I get numerous cursor hangs and occassional white on black text overlayed on screen (kernal panics?) many times while the machine is basically idle as ws the case in the example below. Thanks for any help that can be provided.

my comments to Apple:
Had a VNC connection going to a local iMac running 10.4.8 (17" G4 USB 2.0)
Had actually stepped away for supper and the PB was not really doing anything other than idling. When I came back to it, found the restart message.
I also have random hangs and occassional white on black screen overwrites with errors requiring restart.
Suspect bad RAM?

One week now with the Samsung RAM - no cursor freezes or kernal panics, and like others have indicated, the unit is running somewhat cooler as noted by temperature monitor.

My mouse isn't exact/not in sync with screen

My Microsoft Mouse Wireless Laser 6000 is slightly off and I must click slightly up and right to hit buttons or place the cursor where I want it. Since I'm on
the computer for work as well as home, this is getting annoying. I've tried reinstalling the software and all updates. The trackpad is also slightly off, so I'm not even sure it's the mouse. I use an external monitor Samsung 24 inch LED, only 6 months old. This wasn't a problem when I bought it the monitor. I use the Macbook screen as well as the Samsung and the cursor are off in both. I use an external Microsoft Keyboard. Not easy to pinpoint the cause on this one, as It's almost impossible to isolate.
Any suggestions as to why the cursor is not in sync with the screen?
Samsung Resolution 1080p Television and 1280 x 800 on Macbook screen
This resolution is what I would like to use but perhaps that's the problem.

I'm not sure if I understand your situation correctly, so I'm going to offer a couple options.
First, unconnect your external monitor, and test your mouse/trackpad alignment issue.
Second, if the problem still exists, then unplug your mouse, and test the trackpad.
If the problem still exhists after that, then you will need to take it to the Genuis Bar.
If the problem only occurs when the monitor is connected, then are you using it as a mirrored monitor, or are you closing your lid, and using it as your screen? There are times when your external monitor has a different proportion (aspect ratio) that doesn't match your laptop screen, and can cause a resolution conflict. I've never seen it effect mouse registration, but I can't say it's not possible.

How do we back out the latest update?

Does anyone know how we can back out the latest update?
Last night I made the mistake of trusting the Verizon upgrade application and let it upgrade my Samsung Galaxay S3. Now various applications no longer work. They worked fine before, now they crash on start and give a message such as "Unfortunately, <application-name> has stopped." and I have options of <Report> or <Ok>.
There is NOTHING in the new update that I want, in fact I dislike the new graphics look and feel, auto spell typing has changed in ways I don't like, and applications aren't working.... so I want to go back...
Anyone know how?
Thanks,
-=John

Having the same issues since I upgraded yesterday. I see a lot of people posting issues after the upgrade, but no real solutions except the moronic reset (default answer for any problem) suggestion by verizon.

Blank Screen and flashing cursor on new build-P67A GD65 (B3). Help needed.

As per the title, a computer was built for me with the following specs:
CPU: Intel Core i5 2500k
Cpu Cooler: Arctic Freezer xtreme Rev 2.0,
Motherboard: MSI P67A – GD65 (B3)
PSU: Super-Flower Amazon 550W
RAM: 4GB G.Skill RipJaws-X, DDR3, 1600
HDD: 1TB Samsung Spinpoint F3 7200rpm
Graphics Card: Sapphire Radeon HD 5850 Xtreme - 1 GB GDDR5
Disc Drive: Samsung SH-223C DVD+RW
Case: Cooler Master 690 II LITE Midi-Tower
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate
Everything went ok with the build and installation of the OS. Computer was booting ok. When I took the computer home that evening, powered it on and a blank screen with a flashing cursor on top left hand corner appeared. Tried several times but failed to boot up properly. Just to note that I can enter into the BIOS and it recognizes HDD, processor, Disk Drive and RAM. What I have done so far (of course with advice from computer experts as compared to me) are the following:
1. I removed all the parts except cpu and cooler then put them back. When I restarted a message appeared that win7 need to do a repair. It went thro the process and then it stated it can’t do repair. Did this twice. When I restarted the third time, a blank screen with the blinking cursor appeared again.
2. Cleared the BIOS using the button on the outside of the motherboard and also once using the jumpers inside the motherboard. After doing this, I pressed on the “”ON” button several times (with no power on to the computer) to dissipate any current that was left there.
3. Interchanged the RAM on different slots. Also tried using only 1 stick of Ram at a time.
4. Checked the HDD on another machine and it was ok. Formatted the HDD on the other machine, plugged onto new machine and tried to install OS again but no joy.
At this point, I’m now stuck after almost a month when the machine was built. Would it be the motherboard? RAM? etc. Just wondering if I should RMA the motherboard since it is just over a month when it was delivered.
A point to note, there is a message that comes up when it is booting stating no HDD is detected. I googled this but found out it was to do with a marvel adapter that needs to be disabled or something like that. However, it was mentioned that this wasn’t going to affect the performance of the pc as the BIOS can detect all the components.
I also noticed that when I switch on the pc, there is a small pause before it kicks on then there is a long beep followed by 2 small beeps. I presume this is normal.
Any help on this will be highly appreciated?

Disable EuP 2013 & that should take care of the pause. The beeps are normal at startup. Only time I have observed a blank screen & blinking cursor is if the system wasn't getting enough juice to initialize, or their was insufficient power in an OC attempt. What kind of +12V amps does that PSU you have provide?

Samsung CLP-315W to wirelessly work with OS 10.8.2?

I know this printer CAN work with my network, it has worked with the current firmware and network printer settings, however it doesn't want to connect recently. Can someone please explain how best to set up a stable static network connection with the printer? Here's what's happened thus far. I have uninstalled the smart panel and the driver and reinstalled it fresh with the newest ones. Both are installed. When I plug in a USB I get a modern app dialog that allows me to access the settings, when I connect it via a wired ethernet connection I can access the Sync Thru setup dialog through any web browser. Other websites say that if I connect via either of those methods and change the setup to Static IP, switch the address, save it and then disconnect the blue light wireless capability should turn on within 20 seconds. The problem is it does not.
Please help me! You would be a hero to many people who got suckered into purchasing this wonderful printer with the WORST customer support ever.
OK here's all the details.
Computer - MacBook Pro Mid 2012 2.6GHz Intel Core i7, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM, OS X 10.8.2

Please help and thank you!

Thank you for your reply.
The PDF I am having trouble with when using Safari is a "Weight Workout" that www.activtrax.com automatically creates as an URL and automatically opens using Reader. When I used Adobe Reader 10.1.5, the print symbol showed up. However, when I installed Reader version 11.0.01, only a black screen appeared and no print symbol showed up when I moved my mouse cursor. So, I went back to using version 10.1.5.
ActivTrax states "Your default pdf viewing program will open and display the Workout form." Someone suggested making Preview my default PDF viewing program? Do you know how to do this? If I could make Preview my default PDF viewing program, would doing so prevent me from accessing materials from websites that say that you must have Reader installed to view the item?
In additon, when I open email PDF email attachments, they open in Preview and not Reader. But PDFs that websites create automatically open in Reader.
Thanks for your assistance!

My iMac wont boot up properly. Stops at background pic, no dock, only little apple show up top and cursor sticks on little spinning wheel. Have to shut down manually in back and reboot to get it to work. Any ideas why this sometimes happens?

I'm running OSX 10.9.1 (13B42)
My problem is that occasionally my Mac wont boot properly. It gets to the background picture where the dock should open but it freezes there. The little apple shows up top left but nothing else and the cursor shows as the little spinning wheel that wont do anything. I can't click on the apple to restart, I have to switch off in back and then start up again. It usally boots all the way after that but I'm worried there's something up since this seems to be happeneing more frequently. Also I'm worried that having to manually shut down like that will somehow damage the software in time?
I tried a disk verify but there were no repairs needed. I repaired disk permissions too just in case but it still seems to happen every once in a while.
I've noticed recently that it happens the next reboot after I've been streaming movies online if that helps. Is there any reason for this and anything i can do to stop it in the future?

Thanks Paul, just ran the etrecheck you recommended and got this:

PC h8-1330a with NVIDIA GeForce GT 630 after windows log in black window with only mouse cursor

Hi
PC is an h8-1330a, and the video card is a NVIDIA GeForce GT 630 with driver version 9.18.13.270 dated 29/08/13. connected to a samsung TV via HDMI cable. It is running windows 8.1 OS.
I have installed 1 additiona TV tuner card but otherwise the system is standard HP configuration as it was shipped.
I suspect I have had an automatic windows update mess with the pc as I turned it on and after reaching the windows log in screen and logging in, pc appears to boot into windows and I only see a black screen with the mouse cursor. I can ctrl+alt+del and see task manager but no other windows will display. I tried to switch users and log in with a different account and get the same issue.
I am struggling to enter safe mode or any other mode on boot up to see if i can roll back the video driver.
i have tried hitting esc then f11 to do a restore to no avail.
I cannot seem to enter safe mode on boot up via shift+f11 or f11.
my Dad has the same PC and is not seeing this issue.
wondering if anyone has any suggestions of things I can try?
hoping to try a software fix before trying different video cards/monitors to isolate the issue.
cheers,
andrew
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Thanks,
Shift + Restart from the log in screen finally got me into safe mode where i was able to perform a system restore

Installing Win 7 via Bootcamp on 27' iMac 2010 gives BLACK screen, BLINKING cursor error (BSBCE)?

Hi All,
All coments appreciated regarding thiis issue.
I have a 2010 27' i7 2.93Ghz iMac with 8Gb ram, 2Tb Seagate, and 256 Samsung SSD.
I am running 10.6.8 with all updates on the 2Tb Seagate (has BC 3.04), and 10.7.1 on the Samsung (has BC 4.0).
I have tried over a dozen times to install Win 7 (both a 32 bit Professional edition and a 64 bit Ultimate edition) on BC partitions on both drives. These have been all on separate occasions of course.
All installs result in what appears to be a successful install, but when the machine reboots to launch Win 7 for the first time, I ALWAYS get a black screen with a blinking cursor error (BSBCE).
This is not the 2009 video card driver issue problem reported so widely and referred to in the Apple article TS3173. I had that model previously and the way around that was to connect a second monitor/LCD for the installation.
No this is a new and separate issue.
And I am no nubie. I have used IT for over 25 years and teach networking courses in the Win and Mac environments.
The problem appears to be in a corrupt boot loader install.
I have used both WIn 7 install disks to do a repair each time. The repair says it is successful but after rebooting all I get is the black screen and flashing cursor, with no keyboard response. I have used both Bluetooth keyboards and USB keyboards. Nothing seems to make a difference re getting WIn 7 to boot after the install on either drive.
I have also used the Bootrec commands in the command window. They all return a successful outcome but when rebooting I see the ever familar BSBCE.
Now,,,,,here is the real puzzle. I copied my previous Win 7 Ultimate install using Winclone before I sold my older 27' iMac.
If I restore that install to the 2010 iMac Win 7 boots fine!
So some error is happening on my current machine when the bootloader/bootmanager is being written to the BC partition.
The problem is there with the BC on both 10.6 and 10.7, and these are different versions of BC!
Now to further complicate the problem, I manage 12X 2011 21.5' iMacs in a lab at work. Win 7 Professional 32bit installed on these machines just as it should (same disks that produces the black screen flashing cursor).
I have read that some people thing it is a Boot Rom version issue, and there may be some substance to this as WIN 7 installs so easily on the 2011 iMacs in my lab.
I called Applecare about this and went through the procedures outlined above. The guy was very helpful and sympathetic but he had no answer to the problem. His suggestion was to pull the SSD out and do it again with only one drive. As the machine can ship from Apple with both of these drives I really do doubt that pulling the SSD would make a difference.
Mac OS 10.6 and 10.7 work fine, no problems on both drives, so I don't think it is a drive issue.
OK Mac gurus...over to you.

I have a bookmark for iMac w/ SSD and hard drive.

Help needed to hook a MacBook to a Samsung TV?

Howdy,
I hooked my Samsung Plasma 850/860 TV to my Macbook with a new LOGiiX HDMI Cable ll (with audio support) to run iMovies on the TV to view my photographs. I get the blue Mac galaxy but cannot get anything else on the TV screen. I am plugged into the HDMI In 2 plug in on the TV.
At one point the cursor left the Mac and appeared on the screen and I could move it around but no programs appeared or popped up from the bottom of the screen. I tried removing the HDMI cable and plugging back in which caused the screen to go gray and buzz, then switch back to the blue galaxy screen, then back to the gray screen alternating every 5 seconds or so.
Also I see from some of the discussion threads that some folks have had to hook up an additional audio cable. If I am reading the packaging on the HDMI cable right, I am guessing that I only need the cable I have?
Does anyone have any ideas? I am a novice at this.
Thanks,
Chris

OK. Like markwmsn says, it is in fact working, as an external monitor in Extended Desktop mode, and you know it's working because you can see the Mac desktop. The reason you can't see anything else is because you simply haven't dragged anything to the TV screen yet. (If it wasn't working, you would see nothing, just a black screen. But you are seeing something.)

Old Mac laptops needed an additional audio cable. New Mac laptops support the latest HDMI spec and do not need an audio cable, they can carry everything in the HDMI cable if the cable is also up to date. Unfortunately I don't remember what the dividing line is in terms of versions, but if you bought the MacBook in the last couple years it will probably be new enough.

Samsung SSD in Macbook Pro, slow boot.

So I bought an 256GB Samsung 830 SSD for my Macbook Pro (mid 2009 2.66Ghz 15"). Anyway, I installed it tonight and I've been having a lot of problems with it as an internal drive. I had been using a 750GB WD Black for a long time and it's worked great. So first, I put the SSD in the Internal, and put the Mountain Lion Install USB in, and it would never install. I could format the drive using the USB Disk, but I couldn't install it. I kept getting an error about downloading extra components. Well I put it in an External Firewire enclosure and put the WD back in the computer, and ran the ML installer from inside Mountain Lion. Lo and behold, from Firewire, it boots up very fast and everything. So once it was all installed and setup using the external, I put the SSD inside the computer. Now, it takes about 2 minutes on the Apple screen, then I get a cursor for a few seconds, then no Apple, and a spinning grey pinwheel that never goes away. The WD HDD has been working beautifully the past year and given the SSD works great externally, i'm not sure what the deal is. I've reset the NVRAM, and SMC. So when I boot from my WD HDD in the External, it boots fine. So I went to System Prefs and tried to set the SSD as the startup disk. It won't let me, says something about the Bless tool. Any thoughts as to what is going on? I hope the SSD isn't bad, but since it works great outside the computer but not in, i'm wondering what's going on.
Thanks!

Also some more background: When I got the 750 WD over a year ago (about a year and a half) my computer got all sorts of freezes. Well I narrowed it down to the 1.7 Firmware. So I downgraded to the 1.6 Firmware and it fixed my problem. So I was running the 1.6 Firmware until this July, when I had to take my computer to get the Logic Board replaced (Well, screen was first but the Geniuses messed up, so they had to put a new logic board in) and the firmware is now 1.7, but I haven't had any problems with the drive since. That goes for Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion. So old logic board wouldn't work with 1.7, new logic board did. I'm wondering if it is the firmware giving me fits, because if so i'll just send the drive back because there's no use running at 1.5Gbps when the drive is capable of far beyond that.

No cursor on external monitor

I've connected my Macbook Pro Retina Display to two different external monitors, Samsung and Dell, with a mini DisplayPort to HDMI connection, and in both cases the cursor is misaligned on the Macbook and disappears on the monitor. Also mirroring seems to start automatically even though I've set it up in extended desktop mode.
Any clues would be greatly appreciated.

The ATI Mobillity X1600 GPU used in early MBPs like yours seem to be as troublesome as the nVidea 8600M GT in the later ones.
You can try talking to the next level support, Apple Customer Relations at 1-800-767-2775. Politely explain to them what's happing and that, from postings on the Apple Discussion forums, this not a isolated problem. Ask what you options are.
If that doesn't work, you can request a "depot repair." That's a service done at a central Apple facility instead of an Apple store or AASP. They go through the computer and basically do a refurb for a flat fee of ~US$300.
The "gotcha" with the depot repair is that the computer must physically be in good shape with no outward evidence of dropping, drowning, etc. From other reports around here, it sound like the turnaround is about a week, and people seem pleased with the result. It's a much better option than the faster onsite service for $800-1100 that would only replace the logic board.

How do I stop a blinking cursor?

I have a blinking cursor/mouse pointer when I am using Firefox for the past two or three days. The blinking cursor only happens when I surf; all other programs do not have this problem. I have the latest version of Firefox installed (17.0.1). Using the F7 key, I have turned caret browsing on and off with no change. I have tried to restart and shutdown my PC, along with restarting Firefox. I do have the Ghostery extension enabled, but I have been using Ghostery for months with no problem like this.
