Simple beginner question about default tables (LOGMNR, etc.)

Hi all, I just installed SQL Developer and the Express server. I have worked with other SQL databases and with remote Oracle databases. But never been a DBA for an Oracle DB. I tried searching on LOGMNR and AQ$_, but couldn't find anything, hence this question.
If there is some online documentation that covers these particular tables and my question, then a pointer to that would be appreciated.
Anyway, I created a connection per the instructions and it seemed to work. But when I look at tables listview, I see a whole slew of tables. I assume these are all housekeeping/meta data tables (eg. information_schema in MySQL). Is this correct?
Also, short of manually creating a filter for each of the file types ("%$%"help", "LOGMNR%", "SQLPLUS%", etc.), is there an easy way to ignore these tables and just see the tables I want to create for testing purposes?
And I am curios why these all show up by default. Could it be that I am expecting something because of experience with other databases and am actually doing things the "wrong" way? Or is this just because I am using the Express Server? Or is there another (very good) reason for these tables to exist?
Thanks,
justme

The complete oracle documentation is at http://tahiti.oracle.com. There is a lot of it, but Log Miner and Advanced Queuing have their own manuals. You should also consider starting with the Concepts Manual followed by one of the "2-day" tutorials such as "2-Day DBA"
What user are you connecting as? It sounds as if you are connecting as SYS or SYSTEM if you can see the dictionary tables.
You should create a separate user to connect as.
(create user myuser identified by mypassword;
grant connect,resource to myuser;)

Question about Update Tables

Hello Gurus,
I have a question about "update table" entries. I read somewhere that an entry in update table is done at the time of the OLTP transaction. Is this correct? If so, does this happen on a V1 update or V2 update? Please clarify. Similarly, an entry in the "extraction queue" (incase you are using "queued delta" will happen on V1 update. I just want to get a clarification on both these methods. Any help in this matter is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sreekanth

Hi
update tables are temporary table that are refreshed by v3 job.update table is like buffer, it gets filled after updation of application table and statistical table through v1 v2 update . we can bypass this process by delta methods.

Quick beginner question about Applications folder

I have a really simple basic question: Can I organize my computer's applications folder anyway I want? I don't want to move anything out of the apps folder but I do want to group my apps by a few different categories using folders. I don't see why this would be a problem but I wanted to be sure before I fouled anything up. (Time Machine will be nice).

Create an Applications folder in your home folder and fill it with aliases to the real applications. You can organise these into sub-folders as you wish, without affecting the real applications. Moving the real applications can make updates fail. Different users can have different arrangements of applications.

Satellite U405D - Several questions about overheat/disassembly/upgrade etc.

Hi there,
I have several questions about my one year old Satellite U405D-S2910
1- When it works, after 2-3 hours (I usually run small programs like safari, msn messenger and bsplayer) CPU gets 85-90 C (178-188 F). When I play Age of Empires 2 (Come on, its an ancient game) like 2-3 hours it shuts down itself. What could be the possible reason?? By the way, let me inform you about the climate of the town I live, temp 30C - humidity 25-35% (nowadays).
ps. Cpu= AMD Turion 64 X2 Dual-Core Mobile Processor. Model, RM-74
2- I'm going to disassemble my laptop in order to clean its cooling units (I think reason of overheating is this). It doesnt seem like a desktop, so complicated. Ive seen a step-by-step disassembly(btw, its so hard to spell disassembly:) I think Im going to do this. What are your suggestions about it? any experiences could help me?
3- My laptops Ram memory consists of 2X2GB PC5300 DDR2 667 MHz SDRAM, I want to replace it to 2x2GB MACH XTREME DDR2 1333MHZ CL9 NOTEBOOK RAM. Should I do it? Does it fit my laptop, work stable? any suggestions?
ps. mainboard chipset AMD M780V
4- finally :) , Should I use 64 bit OS or 32 bit OS (win7)? what OS would you use if you were me?
Thank you.

Hi buddy,
1+2. I think everything is related to a higher internal temperature and you should clean your notebook using compressed air spray. Therefore its not necessary to disassemble it, just blow gently and shortly the air through the notebook. You can buy such compressed air spray from every computer store I think and it takes only 5 minutes.
You can find an useful article about this here:
3. In my opinion you should forget this update! The RAM speed is related to FSB of CPU and as far as I know on Satellite U405D its 667MHz so its already the fastest RAM that you can have. Save your money and buy a bigger HDD or in best case an SSD that can really improve the performance!
4. In my opinion the answer is clear: Windows 7 64bit.
Only a 64bit OS support full 4GB RAM. ;)

Beginner question about granting access rights

Hi, am a total beginner, just a very simple question. I have created a number of tables with my admin account that I would like user accounts to be able to see (they should only be allowed to see these few tables)
I then created a user account called EDWARD with just the basic connect access right (I don't want them to be able to create/delete tables etc, just to be able to query the tables I have created above and to add rows to these tables)
Google searching has lead me to the grant statement, so I tried this from the admin account:
grant select, update, insert on CUSTOMERS to EDWARD;
This statement executes correctly but when I log in the EDWARD account I cannot do any of these things, instead I get the error: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
Any ideas?
Thanks

>>Would it be better to create a separate account called 'ADMIN' perhaps that I use for
my application admin and then grant them appropriate access to confidential tables
rather than logging them in as the SYSTEM?
Yes, this is what I would advise, since SYSTEM (like SYS and several others...) is not user like other, it's better do not work and create object under this one. Keep it for Oracle administration usage only, not for application administration, create your own schema for this.

Beginner question about CommandListener

Hi all! I am programming my first cell phone application. Here´s my problem: I have a sequence of menus and all of them use CommandListener to figure out what should be done next. I will put part of my code
public class Planilha extends MIDlet implements CommandListener {
private List mList, mListSec, mListMes;
Form formPerfil,formPagto,fromVis;
//Here I have declared Commands, etc
/Construtor
public Planilha(){
          //THIS IS MY MAIN PANEL. FROM HERE, I HAVE 3 PATHS(3 ANOTHER PANELS)
          mList = new List("Expenses", List.IMPLICIT, stringElements, imageElements);//stringElements and imageElements are initialized
        //Commands are initialized
        mList.addCommand(cFirst);
        mList.addCommand(cSec);
        mList.addCommand(cThird);
       mList.setCommandListener(this);
       //THIS IS ONE OPTION THAT CAN BE ACTIVATED AFTER PANEL mList
       formPerfil = new Form("Budget");
        //Commands are initilized
            formPerfil.addCommand(cBack);
     formPerfil.addCommand(cSave);
     formPerfil.setCommandListener(this);
       //THIS IS A SECOND OPTION THAT CAN BE ACTIVATED AFTER PANEL mList
       mListSec = new List("Expenses", List.IMPLICIT, stringElements1, imageElements1);
       mListSec.addCommand(cBack);
       mListSec.addCommand(cExpense);
       mListSec.setCommandListener(this);
       //STILL GOT A THIRD OPTION BUT I WILL LEFT IT OUT
public void startApp() {
    Display.getDisplay(this).setCurrent(mList);
//HERE IS MY PROBLEM. ONLY FIRST OPTION IS BEING REACHED
public void commandAction(Command c, Displayable s) {
    if (c == cFirst || c == List.SELECT_COMMAND) {
      //HERE I CALL THE FIRST POSSIBLE PATH
         Display.getDisplay(this).setCurrent(formPerfil);
    else if(c == cSec){
         //HERE I CALL THE SECOND OPTION
         Display.getDisplay(this).setCurrent(mListSec);
    else if(c == cThird){
         //A THIRD OPTION FROM PANEL mList
        Display.getDisplay(this).setCurrent(mListMes);
    else if(c == cExpense){
    //HERE A COMMAND COMMING FROM THE SECOND PANEL. ITS NEVER CALLED
     //ANOTHER COMMAND THAT DOES NOT COME FROM MAIN PANEL (mList)
    //IS THIS CORRECT TO PUT THIS COMMAND IN THE SAME COMMAND LISTENER?
    else if(c == cSave){ }So my problem is: even if I choose option 2 or 3 from mList, only the first option is selected. In other words, only formPerfil is being called.
My second question is that I have some command listeners on the other panels but mList. Is this correct to add in the same method CommandAction? For example, I added "cSave" and "cExpense". Is there any problem with it?
Thx in advance

Is there any problem with it?I can't point exactly but the way how you "mix" select command with cFirst, cSec and cThird just doesn't feel right.
To handle selection in implicit list, neither of added commands is necessary. It is sufficient to just detect select command in the list and then use [getSelectedIndex() method|http://java.sun.com/javame/reference/apis/jsr118/javax/microedition/lcdui/List.html#getSelectedIndex()|javadoc] to figure which item was selected.
Another thing that looks suspicious is that commandAction does not check the displayable parameter ('s'). Say, without checking this paramenter, one will never know if SELECT_COMMAND comes from mList or mListSec.
Regarding your questions on handling "cSave" and "cExpense" commands in mList's comandAction, the way you do it is legal.
By the way, it is equally legal to do it the other way - ie provide dedicated listener for formPerfil and handle its commands in that dedicated listener. It is a matter of your personal preference, which way to choose. Myself, I more often use dedicated listeners, about like like this:
// assuming that list is implicit and that no commands are added
//   to mList, ie only select command is available by default...
mList.setCommandListener (new CommandListener() {
public void commandAction(Command c, Displayable s) {
    // here,
    // - I don't check c since I expect only SELECT_COMMAND
    // - I don't check s since I expect only mList
    switch (mList.getSelectedIndex()) {
      // do things depending on list selection
});

Beginner question about prepared statements...PLEASE help! :-)

First let me say thanks for the assistance. This is probably really easy to do, but I'm new to JSP and can't seem to figure it out.
I want to dynamically populate a table that shows whether a particular person has an appointment at a given date and time with a user. To do this, I want to query the MySQL database for the lastname of the person with the appointment that occurs with the user at the year, month, date, and time, in question.
THE CODE BELOW DOESN'T WORK (obviously) BUT SOMEWHAT ILLUSTRATES WHAT I'M TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH:
<%
Driver DriverTestRecordSet = (Driver)Class.forName(MM_website_DRIVER).newInstance();
Connection ConnTestRecordSet = DriverManager.getConnection(MM_website_STRING,MM_website_USERNAME,MM_website_PASSWORD);
PreparedStatement StatementTestRecordSet = ConnTestRecordSet.prepareStatement("SELECT lastname FROM appts_pid1 WHERE user_id='<%=(((Recordset1_data = Recordset1.getObject(user_id))==null || Recordset1.wasNull())?"":Recordset1_data)%>' AND year='<%= yy %>' AND month='<%= months[mm] %>' AND date='<%= dates[dd] %>' AND appttime='16:15:00'");
ResultSet TestRecordSet = StatementTestRecordSet.executeQuery();
boolean TestRecordSet_isEmpty = !TestRecordSet.next();
boolean TestRecordSet_hasData = !TestRecordSet_isEmpty;
Object TestRecordSet_data;
int TestRecordSet_numRows = 0;
%>
The real problem comes in the prepared statement portion. If I build the prepared statement with static values like below, EVERYTHING WORKS GREAT:
PreparedStatement StatementTestRecordSet = ConnTestRecordSet.prepareStatement("SELECT lastname FROM appts_pid1 WHERE user_id='1' AND year='2002' AND month='October' AND date='31' AND appttime='16:15:00'");
But when I try to use dynamic values, everything falls apart. It's not that the values aren't defined, I use the user_id, year <%= yy %>, month <%= months[mm] %>, etc. elsewhere on the page with no problems. It's just that I can't figure out how to use these dynamic values within the prepared statement.
Thanks for reading this far and thanks in advance for the help!!!!

Hi PhineasGage
You are little bit wrong in your
your preparedStatement.
Expression tag within scriptlet tag is invalid.
Whenever you are appending the statement with
expression tag, append it with "+" and remove
expression tag.
Hopefully it will work
ThanksThanks for the response!
I know that the expression tag within scriptlet tag is invalid. I just need a workaround for what I want to do.
I'm unclear what you mean by "Whenever you are appending the statement with expression tag, append it with a "+" and remove expression tag".
Could you give an example?
In the meantime, I've been trying to digest the docs on prepared statements and have changed the code to look like:
PreparedStatement StatementTestRecordSet = ConnTestRecordSet.prepareStatement("SELECT lastname FROM appts_pid1 WHERE user_id= ? AND year= ? AND month= ? AND date= ? AND appttime='13:15:00'");
StatementTestRecordSet.setInt(1,1);
StatementTestRecordSet.setInt(2,2002);
StatementTestRecordSet.setString(3,"October");
StatementTestRecordSet.setInt(4,31);
Again, WITH THE STATIC VALUES, THIS WORKS FINE...but when I try to use expressions or variables like below, things don't work:
StatementTestRecordSet.setInt(2,<%= yy %>);
Obviously, I'm doing something wrong, but there has to be a way to use variables within the prepared statement.
ALSO, the values are being passed to this page via URL in the form:
samplepage?user_id=1&year=2002&month=October&date=31
Based upon this information, is there another way (outside of stored procedures in the db) to do what I want to do? I'm open to ideas.

Potential new T61 user with some questions about product/support/etc.

Hi all!
I've been using Dell Latitude's for last 7+ years and been happy with them thus far, as I was able to stay within the C-series thru 3 systems and reuse some components such as batteries, CD-ROM, etc. but now that I'd have to go to D-series, that gives me the choice of going to new vendor...and IBM/Lenovo was the only other choice due to my OS requirement: XP Pro!
So now I'm here asking some questions that I'm still having issues with:
(I'm comparing the T61 to Dell D530 and/or my C610)
1) Features that I've used on existing Dell that I don't see on T61 :
    a) Infared port --- I've used to transfer stuff from one sys to another
    b) S-Video out --- I've used to display on TV for some situations
    c) Serial port --- can't recall using it but with my luck, I'd need it sometime.
    d) Parallel port (C610) --- for my really old printer used on rare occasions
    e) Floppy drive --- yes, I still use it for some unusual situations
2) On Dell, I can put a 2nd battery or floppy drive in the media bay instead of CD/DVD...what about T61?
3) Support:
    a) Dell forums have 7+ yrs of history and are well used...this forum seems brand new...was there another one before it?
    b) My Dell's have lifetime tech support (ok, so sometimes understanding the folks from India can be an issue) but IBM seems to limit this to life of warranty.
4) Pricing: T61 would be seem to be, at minimum, about $150 more than similar Dell even with current "sales"...I'm having trouble justifying this...
5) Things that I see that T61 has that new Dell D530 doesn't:
   a) built-in mike --- my current Dell has it and I use it now and then so this is a plus!
   b) keyboard light --- nice feature, but couldn't I use a USB one instead if I really needed it?
   c) fingerprint reader --- never used one...how often do people use it?
   d) 2nd card slot for Express cards --- current Dell has two standard slots and I'm using both, though one is wi-fi which C610 didn't have built-in...and other is modem to replace failed built-in...D530 has only one slot, so having 2nd of any type is good.
   e) middle mouse button --- is that what I'm seeing? Or is it something else?
   f) recovery partition --- ok, nice but how much room does it take?
6) Things that D530 has that T61 doesn't:
   a) 4th USB --- I'm used to only 1 now so even 3 would be big step up...
   b) 15" standard screen --- T61 is only a 14.1" screen and that extra bit of size would likely help, but I'm limited on physical dimensions to 13.5" total width (unusual situation) so a 15.4" wide screen isn't possible...I'm looking at SXGA+ in either case to maximize usage.
   c) recovery CD is standard --- so I'm presuming I'd have to create my own here?
That, I think, about does it...so...any users willing to help me decide if a switch is good for me?
Thanks!!!
Update: It seems that phone tech support is only available for warranty period with IBM, whereas with Dell, I can still call for hardware tech help (to diagnose problem at least) for "lifetime" or well past paid period, as I've already done in past...comments?
Update #2: Changed the incorrect "R"s to "T"! Duh!
Message Edited by J_Hallgren on 12-28-2007 07:50 PM
A current Dell Latitute user who was looking to maybe switch...But didn't.

I finally made the switch to Lenovo and the Thinkpad line of notebooks and think this was the best move I have ever made in years! I've spent far too much money maintaining a separate notebook (Dell Latitude L400) several custom built desktops. This December, I sold my desktops, my laptops (I had 2 L400's), and my 20" Aquous LCD TV to finance my Thinkpad T61. It was well worth it! I will try to answer your questions in this checklist, which I found to be quite similar to my own .... frighteningly exactly like my own....:
Hardware Requirements
IR: This is pretty outdated but functional. I used to use a Palm with IR as well as an IR laser printer. I ditched both for a PDA phone with bluetooth. The laser printer is networked now
S-Video: You might be able to get away with a TV tuner cardbus or a expres card. There might also be external converters that convert from your VGA/DVI (DVI via port replicator) into any variety of video outputs.
Serial: My older Palm had a serial port for the docking station - bluetooth is a good replacement
Parallel port: I currently have a USB to parallel adapter in my bag just in case. These are cheap cables and work well.
Floppy: I keep a USB one of these just in case. I find that having fewer input devices on my laptop and leaving them external help keep the machine lighter for my mostly mobile usage (e.g., my L400 with no inputs at all except 1 USB port).
T61 Spare Battery: Uses ultrabay battery - I rarely use the DVDRW drive and leave the ultrabay battery in there while on the go. DVDRW drive stays in the bag until needed. I recommend you upgrade to the 9 cell battery with the advanced ultra bay battery, which will give u something like 9 to 12 hours of operating life. If you are not a fan of the battery pack sticking out like crazy, stick to the letter box format laptop (not widescreen), which will provide the minimum amount of battery pack stick-out with the 9 cell battery. The 6 cell will not stick out with the letterbox laptop but will stick out with the widescreen version.
Support Options: I rarely call support so I have no opinion here.
Pricing: Price was not really a concern for me. I purchased mine for the business look mainly, which Lenovo maintained well. I don't like the shiny/plastic/toy look of Dell and Apple computers these days. If anything, consider the premium an investment in the build quality of these machines (or a premium just for the good looks). I particularly like the roll cage as well as active protection system that stops the hard drive as soon as the system detects excessive motion.
Included Hardware Comparison:
I like the mic, use it often for Skype and the built in 1.3MP webcam as well.
Keyboard light.... kinda cute but not as functional because it simply is too small. It was a cute idea that could have been made better had Lenovo opted for a backlit keyboard instead. That would have been more functional and added to the "cool" factor.
With regards to the Express Card and PCMCIA card slot, I rarely use either because everything is built in. However, if you want that TV tuner, an express card or PCMCIA card slot is good. If you opt for the built in media reader, you will be unable to use the express card as the media reader takes up that slot (I might be wrong, but I think the card reader is large enough that it takes up both slots, so u can't add anything anyway - but you should call pre-sales to answer that question).
Middle mouse button: The three buttons in the middle are used for the trackpoint/joystick mouse controller. I think the middle button is configurable to do various things. I personally hate the joystick and can only use the touchpad. The lack of a touchpad was the only reason I did not stick to the smaller 12.1" X line of laptops, which was really more in tune with my size requirements (too used to using the L400 sized machine).
Recovery Partition: This is a cheap way for manufacturers to make it easy for people to recover their systems in case of crash - without the need for any documentation or disc media. However, it makes it hard for people like me who only use machines after a clean format and customized install of Windows. This partition is about 10GB and can be erased with special disk format or partition tools. Windows itself cannot read or delete this partition. With the minimum size of the hard drives available, this should not be an excessive space killer for most people. I personally need only 7GB total for OS and apps. The remaining data I work with is actually streamed from a 500GB gigabit NAS. I might switch to a 32GB solid state disk one of these days when their performance comes more in par or exceeds traditional drives.
Recovery CD: You can create your own from the recovery partition since Lenovo does not provide any.
4th USB: I only use 1 or 2 as well. 1 for an external micro mouse (I love my touchpad, but it's just hard to use with Photoshop or CAD apps) and a second for a USB memory key. My other devices i.e., scanner, external mouse, keyboard, are plugged in on my desktop through a USB hub that goes to a single port on my docking station. So yes, your docking station will probably remove the need for more than 2 ports. Although, I do find it odd there are only 3 ports... such an odd number.
Screen Size: I personally wish I could have gotten the X series of laptops but the 14.1 was the only other mobile solution. For the larger screen size, docking station to my 24" Dell 2405FP. The compact nature of the T series makes it pretty thin and compact though... it was not too much bigger than my L400 - at least, not uncomfortably bigger.
But yeah, I think if you make the switch, you'll be getting yourself a solid machine that will keep u going for years. The Latitude line of Dell's were really good, but overall, I feel that the nature of Dell's manufacturing process is making it too "cookie cutter" and reducing its overall quality level. Their earlier lines were awesome, like the D lines you mentioned. But unless you get the ATG line, you just won't get the same level of quality they used to offer (in addition, the ATG line is wickedly too expensive - I'd rather get a Durabook for military grade spec at a fraction of the price).
Anyway, have fun shopping! :-)
And moderators or employees of Lenovo, don't you guys get referral bonuses for giving your employee discount code to friends and family? *wink*

Question about temporary tables and imports.

Hello everybody.
Interesting one this. We have an application that uses global temporary tables. We refresh live to test using import of the application schema. I noticed when doing this yesterday that the temporary tables were being recreated in test as perminant rather than temporary.
Is there a reason for this? Has anyone come across this before? Is there a way around it (apart from manual checking)?
Many thanks
Rup

Another beginner question about targeting functions

I've read what I thought was an excellent thread about scope in EA, but I'm still not getting some of the basics (btw the thread was http://forums.adobe.com/message/5287753#5287753).
I have "slides" in the symbol library and in the main composition compositionReady script I've set up a generic script for playing back sound. That script works fine when I bind it within the compositionReady script to a symbol and click, so I know the funciton itself is fine. My question, I'm programmatically loading the slides from the library as I go along and want to use the generic function I created in the compositionReady script, but I can't seem to create the proper syntax to call the script. Here's some that I have tried. What is the correct syntax? The script is on frame inside the slide symbol.
//sym.getComposition().getStage().playSound();
//sym.getComposition().playSound();
//Edge.getComposition("CER_1").playSound();

Thanks for having a look. Yea, it's getting to the script fine but it doesn't like the syntax. Console always indicates javascript error, which is what happens when Edge throws an exception because it doesn't know what to do. The article that Elaine posted on above gives me the sense that it might be best to change the function to a variable, then it would be in scope to call but I have parameters I'd like to pass with it and I don't think I can pass a parameter with to a variabalized (word?) function. I know it's just me moving from ActionScript to Edge JavaScript and scope. Whereas I could always find a homebase in ActionScript with the stage, it seems that the stage in Edge is just another symbol and calling a function within the stage is never getting there. Elaine hints at putting outside the stage closure and it would be accessible, which, of course, has led me to start readying JavaScript books and learning more about scope etc. It seems like that is life as a developer. I dont' get that, oh, better take a day or two to understand that concept, oh, that function works now, next problem. ;-)

Quick question about hue / saturation / transparency etc

I'm basically doing a simple photography website for a friend, and an trying out a few mouseover effects for the thumbnails.
Initially I tried reducing the transparency, and now the brightness, but neither seem, quite right.
Looking around online for what works well, I stumbled across Peter Lik's website.
If you look here :
http://www.peterlik.com
And click on Collections to bring up a thumbnail gallery, can anyone with an eye for these things advise me as to what changes in hue / saturation / contrast etc look like they'd create the dulled thumbnail image compared with the brighter one when you mouse over.
Many thanks.

Thank you!
I originally just did the thumbs as a 60% opacity, but it was a default white background. I hadn't finished off a full gallery, so was showing the guy the Peter Lik page as an example of the effect. Looking at them together, we reckoned the Peter Lik one was more effective, as the reduced opacity on the white background was a bit washed out looking.
So then I was trying different combinations of the brightness, which needed countering with the contrast, and I couldn't quite seem to get it.
But you've hit the mail on the head - reducing the opacity on a black background is the winner!
Many thanks for prepping that example PNG - much appreciated.

SSMA (Access - SQL 2012) newbie question about new tables

I have successfully run SSMA and moved the back end tables of an Access project to SQL Express 2012.
Some questions:
- if I add a new table to the SQL backend, how do I get it to appear in the Access project?
- if I want to move the whole thing to another computer, how do I go about it?
- do I always have to have the SSMA app installed?
- I can't see an ODBC datasource on the machine
Thanks for some help

Thanks, I was not clear in my questions:
1. Given that from now on the tables should all be in SQL, I think it would be better to create new tables in SQL them there rather than create them in Access and have to keep moving them to SQL with SSMA. So if I create a new table in SQL how can I
see it in Access? Or can I easily create a linked table in Access?
The table created by SSMA have this property:
If I create a new table in SQL and link it I get a more classic ODBC connection:
2. I am happy with SQL backup/restore, attach/detach. But how does Access know where the SQL Database has gone?
3. I thought the migration was a one time task, but from what you say it is an ongoing "linking" app. So I would be better to export my tables and re-link them to get something that can be moved to another network or computer?
4. The SSMA looks very much like an ODBC connection.
This is a new project so I will have to make lots of new tables and also move the whole thing around to different computers, on different networks.

Question about making tables in Pages :-)

Hello! I can't resize tables in Pages. I can drag them downwards but not horizontally! Anyone know why or what I can do about it? Thanks!

HI promises,
Do you men you can increase the size of a table vertically, but not horizontally?
Tables are inserted as inline objects. Inline objects are treated like text, and are bound by the text margins set for the document (or for a layout within the document). When inserted, their width defaults to the maximum allowed.
In the image, you can see the margin stops at 1 and 7.5 inches (indicated by blue arrows). You can't make the inline table any wider, but you can make it narrower.
Click away from the table to deselect any cells that may be selected, then click once on the table to select the whole table. Use the mouse to grab the handle at the center of the right edge of the selected table, and drag left to decrease the width of the table. All columns will narrow proportionally:
Move the smaller table left or right using the Text formatting tools avilable—the alignment buttons or a tab character and a tab stop.

Barry

Questions about e-mail sync etc...

Hi,
I will be setting up a new Palm Pre Plus Verizon phone soon but had a couple of questions to make sure I now what's possible.
1) Is it possible to sync only the Calendar / Contacts from Microsoft Exchange but not the e-mail (work account)? Can the same be done for other accounts (google, yahoo, etc...)?
2) If not, can the Calendar/Contacts be set to automatically download but the e-mail be set for manual control (downloaded by user action only) thus choosing never to download?
3) If so, can those preferences be set differently per individual account (Exchange vs Google vs Yahoo etc...)?
Also...I've seen several Palm reps on the posts suggesting users check out homebrew / 3rd party opportunities to customize their phones even though Palm doesn't "support them. Can I get an overall take on whether this is a good idea or not? Do you run the risk of ruining / breaking your phone using those types of 3rd party solutions (I would assume not if your reps are suggesting to look there...)?
Thanks very much for any input.

Hi,
Thank you so much, you've been a big help.
Would it be possible to bother you (or anyone in the know) with more complicated questions I've been facing trying to set up the palm?
I understand about how to Exchange (and control e-mail).
I still have questions though, on e-mail / contact setup.
My questions revolve around multiple accounts from the same place, and also AIM buddy control (and multiple AIM accounts).
Basically...is it a problem to pull in multiple Gmail accounts for example (more than 1)? I use 2 different Gmail accounts (one for my friends / family, and one for work)? That along with the Exchange acount?
As for AIM...I also have two AIM accounts I use (one for friends / family, one when working). when I created both accounts, they sort of merged, and both stayed on (I wasn't able to control signing one off, keeping one on at a time)? Am I just not finding the right settings?
Also...the contacts list was a disaster after bringing in the AIM accounts. Even after deleting the accounts (because I couldn't get them to work right), the screennames stayed in my contacts list, and when I try to delete them (swipe away, choose delete) they say AIM profiles can't be deleted...even though the account is deleted. Am I missing something??
I read in the manual, you are supposed to be able to stop contacts from feeding from certain accounts by choosing the menue / prerences / selecting the account / stopping the sync....but that wasn't even an option as the only "account" listed in preferences is the Palm account.
I'm just terribly confused on how to set things up and what can be controlled. Thanks for any help you can provide (or a place I can go for this assistance).
Thanks!

Question about multiple tables and formulas in numbers

I was wondering about having a formula that effects one table based on data in the other table. I have a spreedsheet that i created for work. In column A is a list of addresses. In column B-ZZ is a list of "billing codes" the get applied to the service work done for that address.Its kind of difficult to look at this large spreadsheet on my iphone and edit it on the go. Is there a way to, Have another column, possibly on sheet 2 or something, where i type in these "billing codes" and they would fill an x or some other character in cell that corrisponds with that billing code on that address line? So to be as plain as possible, I want to enter data in one cell (another sheet if possible) and have it "mark" another cell in response to the specific data on that "entry cell." Im thinking this way because instead of scrolling back and fourth on the sheet on my iphone, to "mark" the boxes, i could just navigate to sheet 2 enter the data, or "billing codes" and they would "X" the cell that would match up with the code column and address row. each address row would have a seperate "entry field" in sheet 2, to make the formula easier. thanks for any help

Tom,
That's a lot of columns for jsut a table of marks that reflect an input. Sure, you could have each cell in that giant table check to see if some corresponding cell contains certain text, but that document is going to be slower than you might be able to tolerate.
