Searching through Database

Hello there,
As a school project I am building a database to store
information about music. I have a song table that
have the following columns: musicID, music_name,
music_description, music_type.
I would like to write a procedure to search the
music_name, music_description and music_type columns
for text. For example, if I ask the procedure to give
me all music with the word "rock" in it the results
will include every entry that have the word rock in
it.
I would like to know if there is a way to implement
this kind of functionality?You provide no oracle version or platform. You state "I have a song table" that may not even be the actual name, and you toss out a couple of possible column names. What have you coded so far? Post the table create statements, sample data, and what you have done, and any error messages you have received.
Are you using oracle text?

Searching through a Large Database

There's a specialty program that I use all the time and it's built for windows only. This program pretty much searches through a big database of articles that this organization has published and you can read them.
I'm wondering, what should I do to redevelop the database? Is there a good program to use? and what language I should use?

If you have that as a resource I'd very much recommend doing that. No reason to re-reverse engineer the wheel.
+Is there a good step by step how to for mysql?+
There are many scattered around the web.
Here is Apple's:http://developer.apple.com/internet/opensource/osdb.html
Here is MySQLs: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/mac-os-x-installation.html
Also some OS X seem to have shipped with OpenBase installed and some don't. I'm not sure what the process or license is on that but it is much friendly and GUI operative than MySQL. If you have it it's worth looking into if it'll work for you.
Good Luck,

Intermedia search through a database link.

Has anyone been able to do a search through a database link on an intermedia index in another database?
My sql is:
select title
from [email protected]
where contains (title,'test')>0;
I get the following errors:
ORA-20000:
ORA-02063:
null

I guess you cannot do this. I read somewhere (not on top of my head where) that this is not supported.

I downloaded IOS6 and all my apps, including the App Store icon, disappeared. If I go to the Passport icon, there is an App Store button, but I have to search through all the apps to find the one I want and then click on "Open" to use it. Help!

I downloaded IOS6 and all of my app icons, including the App Store icon disappeared. Now to use an icon, I have to go to Passport and click on the App Store button at the bottom and search through all of the apps to find the one I want and then click on Open. There doesn't seem to be a way to delete the app and start over.

Hey PlayerPS,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like the application you are looking for is indeed still on your iPhone. You can confirm this by searching in the Spotlight Search for this application. It may have accidentally been moved to a folder, or an additional Home screen:

Looking for a free iOS 4 app that can search through .pdf files or spreadsheet
Thanks

Hey there
"pdf creator" for iPad works flawlessly for me working with pdf files
It takes care of all my needs
I'm not sure about sending via Wifi or Bluetooth but I send them via e- mail all the time
Possibly it could handle your needs as well
Just type it into the App Store search field and the first one that comes up is the one I use
Jump on over there and read up on it before buying and see if it will help you
Hope this helps

Automatic Area of Search through finder?

By default, every time I try to search through spotlight in finder, it automatically searches "This Mac". I was wondering if there was a way to have it search in whatever folder I am currently in like it did in OS 10.3. Instead it comes up searching my hard drive and I have to manual click on whatever folder I am in. Also, does anyone know how to make it so if you have something typed into spotlight in finder, it will stay in the search box instead of erasing whenever I move to another folder. It makes it very agitating to have to retype in the file name each folder I switch to. This is also another thing that had changed from OS 10.3. If anyone has any way to help me on either of these problems, I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

If you did this is applescript, you'd need to call unix through do shell script anyway, so don't bother with applescript. just use mdfind directly. e.g.:
# finds files that have a metadata attribute called MyKeyword with value DesiredValue
mdfind "MyKeyword == DesiredValue"
# finds files that have a metadata attribute called MyKeyword whose values start with Desi
mdfind "MyKeyword == 'Desi*'"
# finds files that have some metadata attribute whose value contains redVal
mdfind '*redVal*'
to make a smart folder just do a search in the Finder and then save it to the desktop (careful, it will default to saving it in the sidebar, which will put it in some funky folder down in you library). once you've saved it you can open it in a text editor or plist editor to see the contained mdfind command. Then it's just a question of modifying the right keywords. I have an applescript somewhere that does it, but it's not all that useful - almost as easy to make the smart folder by hand in the Finder, and there's no way to extract the files from the smart folder once you've made it.

Maybe I can use powershell to search through the logs?

Hi,
You can use Custom View and XML filter to filter specific event logs. Firstly, create a custom view. Then type an XML query to filter by ObjectName (abcd.txt).
For more detailed information, please refer to the article below:
Advanced XML filtering in the Windows Event Viewer

Halfway through the OS X Yosemite update it says I am not connected to the internet (when I know I am because I can search through the app store). How can I fix this? I cannot get on Safari because it requires an update to Mac OS X 10.9 or later.

Halfway through the OS X Yosemite update it says I am not connected to the internet (when I know I am because I can search through the app store). How can I fix this? I cannot get on Safari because it requires an update to Mac OS X 10.9 or later.

Just to be clear. You have downloaded the Yosemite installer. However you say while it's updating you get the error you are not online. This is confusing since you shouldn't be able to use your computer in the process of updating.
Exactly where do you see you need to 10.9 to get on Safari?

Using Oracle Text to search through WORD, EXCEL and PDF documents

Hello again,
What I would like to know is if I have a WORD or PDF document stored in a table. Is it possible to use Oracle Text to search through the actual WORD or PDF document?
Thanks
Doug

Yes you can do context sensitive searches on both PDF and Word docs. With the PDF you need to make sure they are text and not images. Some scanners will create PDFs that are nothing more than images of document.
Below is code sample that I made some time back to demonstrate the searching capabilities of Oracle Text. Note that the example makes use of the inso_filter that is no longer shipped with Oracle begging with Patch set 10.1.0.4. See metalink note 298017.1 for the changes. See the following link for more information on developing with Oracle Text.
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14117_01/text.101/b10729/toc.htm
begin example.
-- The following needs to be executed
-- as sys.
DROP DIRECTORY docs_dir;
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY docs_dir

GRANT READ ON DIRECTORY docs_dir TO text;
-- End sys ran SQL
DROP TABLE db_docs CASCADE CONSTRAINTS PURGE;
CREATE TABLE db_docs (

AppleScript (or Automator?): How to search through online сhеss games?

Hello.
I would like to search for specific online сhеss games. Each game has a single adress. We are talking about millions of games. Obviously, it's far too long to index all the games. So I will set a limit and use the script at night. Conditions should be something like this:
For adress example.com/game=NumberA to example.com/game=NumberB
Search every web page containing SpecificWord
Store wanted web adresses somewhere (so I could see the games by myself during the day)
As you can see, I know nothing about Applescript and I don't know how to start, nor how the script can pick up adresses. I think it's possible and not difficult to code, just time consuming for the program to search through thousands of games.
Should I use AppleScript or Automator? Should the script open Safari (or Firefox if possible) or can it search without any browser? Is it possible to simultaneously search through multiple pages/adresses? Maybe I could write several scripts for different ranges of games? If so, how many pages can I open at once? For instance I could disable images in Firefox to load quicker. How much time does it need to search for one game? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 seconds?
Any easy tutorials, examples of similar codes, advices, hints or tips are appreciated.

Thanks for answering. Sorry that I was so unclear. My main problem was how to get urls and games id as variables. But then I thought there already should be programs doing web crawling. I have found Scrapy which use Python language.
(Maybe I should edit my question, add Scrapy and Python as tags instead of applescript and automator. Is it possible?)
I have Mac OS 10.6.8, Python 2.6.1. Scrapy needs at least Python 2.7 so I have downloaded the last version of Python (3.3). I think I can handle the programming in Scrapy thanks to their tutorial. The most difficult part should be... how to install Scrapy. Don't laugh at me.
I have entered "sudo easy_install Scrapy" in the terminal. But the terminal still uses Python 2.6.1. Python 3.3 is installed but I don't know how to clean update Python. If anyone knows, feel free...
When I write scrapy in the terminal, here is what I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/scrapy", line 4, in <module>
    import pkg_resources
File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Extras/lib/python/pkg _resources.py", line 2556, in <module>
    working_set.require(__requires__)
File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Extras/lib/python/pkg _resources.py", line 620, in require
    needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements))
File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Extras/lib/python/pkg _resources.py", line 518, in resolve
    raise DistributionNotFound(req) # XXX put more info here
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: lxml
It seems Scrapy also needs something called lxml. Right now I am trying to make Python 3.3 the default python version. Is there a web crawler GUI which already includes Python, Scrapy, lxml?
By default I also have Python 2.4 and 2.5. Does the system need them? I prefer not to delete system files but together all Python versions weigh 500 MB.
In regard to the real example URL: let's say instantchess.com. Here's a game URL: http://www.instantchess.com/?EXP=1&GPI=84094532
84094532 is the game id. Let's say I want to search every Reti openings (thus the page must contain the word "Reti") from id 84000000 to 85000000 and store games id in my computer. If I have understood correctly, I need to search through the source code of the pages.
Feel free to add any remarks, suggestions, ideas.

How can I search through my purchased apps on an iPad running iOS 7.0.4?

Maybe I'm just missing it, but I see no way to search through my purchased apps on my iPad (3rd generation) running iOS 7.0.4. To be clear, I know how to go to the appstore, click purchased, and view all of my purchased apps, but I cannot see a search field by which to textually search through my apps as is available on the iPhone. It seems inexplicable that Apple would have this feature on the iPhone but not the iPad, so am I missing something?
Thanks for any help.

Search through a cluster or clusters in cluster by label-name of a control

Hi,
is there a function availabe which allows to search through an arbitray cluster by an label-name and if the desired control is found in the cluster, its value should be returned?
E.g:
The function should receive the cluster to be searched and the label-name of the wanted control. The Output should be the value of the control if the label-name was found within the cluster. If the name was not found, there should be a status e.g. -1 at the output uf the function.
Thanks for your help!

I have two general purpose methods in this instance. The first is to utilize LV's XML schema and a little XPath:
The second method utilizes Traversal and is contained in the zip file I have attached. This method is very poorly documented at best (like most scripting). It was a fun experiment.
TraverseCluster.vi specifies the callback VI to be used when a control is encountered during the operation called 'FindControls'. It then calls this traverse operation on the cluster which is based in by reference. The Callback VI is called for all controls in the cluster, if a Label is specified all matching controls are added to the list. If no label is specified, all control references contained in the cluster are returned (including those inside subclusters). You can specify if you only want controls returned and not the clusters. Finally, the Class Operator is removed.
There is an example included to see how it all works.
Traversing is a great tool to have at your disposal if you are a scripter.

I cannot select previously searched items in google toolbar search through mouse, I have to selct it by keyboard or retype it.

In firefox 4 I cannot select previously searched items in google toolbar search through mouse, I have to selct it by keyboard or retype it.
Also during switching between tabs I notice black screen.

I just tried clicking the left button of the mouse BEFORE placing the pointer above the drop-down arrow of the Google search and worked. If the word was deep down the list, i scrolled down the wheel of the mouse. Always keeping the left button pressed and releasing it once i had pointed my choice.

Updated to 10.5.6, no longer able to search through networked shares.

One of our users was able to search through our network shares(extreemeZ-ip) just fine yesterday morning, mid morning he updated to 10.5.6 and is no longer able to use finder to perform searches on those shares.

We ARE on Mac Servers, but only version 10.4.7. All networked computers are Mac OS 10.5.6, except for one, which is on 10.4.11.
Command-F) FIND no longer works on any of the Leopard boxes. Works fine on the one box with Mac OS 10.4.11. I can do simple searches for files I know are there, but it can not find anything. I have checked all permissions.
I found this thread (http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8654089&tstart=0) and the solution he wrote of works, but that's such a backwards way of having to search.
Would the spotlight issue also pertain to Server software 10.4.7? Thanks in advance for any help!
