thank's in advanceBy weak do you mean least resource intensive?
I would recommend UBUNTU and Oracle XE if you are looking for something to run on a mini-laptop, both are freely available.

  • Bunch of oracle questions

    Hi Guys,
    I have some oracle questions. What does generating statistics for a table or index
    actually do? And what is the difference between estimate statistics and compute
    statistics 10% or any other percentage?
    How does creating new statistics improve performance?Also, what is brconnect
    used for? i saw it being used for statistics as well as some other things.
    what are the various uses for it?
    And coming to a different topic, can someone tell me the difference between
    the rollback segments concept of oracle 8 and the undo tablespace concepts
    of oracle 9. 
    Thanks in advance.
    Cyrus

    Hi Cyrus,
    Q1: What does generating statistics for a table or index ..
    A1: The generated statistics are used by the cost based optimizer to compute the optimal execution plan for your Sql statements
    Q2: How does creating new statistics improve performance?
    A2: Data in your tables change over time. So, not up to date statistics about this data would mean sub optimal results, computing the optimal exec plan for your Sql statements. That is, why your statistics should be up to date.
    Q3: And coming to a different topic, can someone tell me the  ..
    A3: see http://otn.oracle.com/documentation

  • Some interview Question?

    hello all, as this forum has many brilliant minds, i have some interview question, if you mind please let me know the answer....
    q1. default level at which validation accurs?
    q2. in which case property pallet display **** as a property value, what its meaning?
    q3. best way to ensure that item can not accept query criteria?
    q4. what is the use of key-other trigger?
    q5. what is the use of forms module validation unit. if it is set to form then data block pre-text-item trigger at point will raise?
    i tried but did not find any relevant answer.

    Hi yash...
    q1. default level at which validation accurs?Well, the default level is where ur trigger exist ( Form Level ,Block Level or Item Level )
    q2. in which case property pallet display **** as a property value, what its meaning?Conceal ; it means hiding displaying data and it is almost used in password text item.
    q3. best way to ensure that item can not accept query criteria?Well, actually i don't have any forms now but u could try it urself item property > query criteria (any related query allowed property ) >NO
    q4. what is the use of key-other trigger?A Key-Others trigger fires when an operator presses the associated key.
    A Key-Others trigger is associated with all keys that can have key triggers associated with them but are not currently defined by function key triggers (at any level).
    A Key-Others trigger overrides the default behavior of a Runform function key (unless one of the restrictions apply). When this occurs, however, Oracle Forms still displays the function key's default entry in the Keys screen.
    Hope this helps...
    Good Luck :)

  • Some basic question about SCM Installation

    Hi Folks,
    Could you please advice me about some basic questions about SCM and its installation -
    Q1. Do I need to have an R/3 System to be able to practice OR demo the SCM system?
    Q2. If, yes, which version of SCM is compatible with the ECC 5.0?
    Q3. What are the basic requirements to install SCM (version compatible with ECC 5.0) and ECC on a oracle db and windows OS?
    Q4. Does SCM have APO and BI as an inbuilt functionality OR does the user need to purchase these as an Add-On?
    I know these are some basic questions, but these will help me give me a direction.
    With best wishes,
    Krishna

    Hello Krishna -
    Q1. Do I need to have an R/3 System to be able to practice OR demo the SCM system?
    ---> There are various Modules in SCM Like APO (Sub Modules  DP (stand alone), SNP Needs Master data from R/3 and has to pass on transactional Data to R/3, PPDS same as SNP, GATP same as SNP), ICH needs Data from R/3 to work with. Core Interface (CIF) connects R/3 to APO for transferring data.
    Q2. If, yes, which version of SCM is compatible with the ECC 5.0?
    -->For thorough understanding explore the following links
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm41/helpdata/en/9b/954d3baf755b67e10000000a114084/frameset.htm

    Q3. What are the basic requirements to install SCM (version compatible with ECC 5.0) and ECC on a oracle db and windows OS?
    -->Refer Above
    Q4. Does SCM have APO and BI as an inbuilt functionality OR does the user need to purchase these as an Add-On?
    --> APO comes with a small BI inbuilt functionality. you can only perform certain functions using that BI.
    Hope this helps.

    I have a Macbook Pro june 2011... I have 8GB ram but I only have 256mb VRAM...
    I've read some other questions about this and I realized... Why do I not have 560mb of VRAM since I have 8GB of RAM?
    Is there any way to get more VRAM to play games on steam?
    I've learned  by reading other topics that I can't upgrade my graphics card on my Macbook Pro because it's soldered into the motherboard or somthing like that, but please tell me if there is any way to get more video ram by chaning some setting or upgrading something else. I'd also like to know why I only have 256MB of VRAM when I have 8GB of RAM, since I have 8GB of RAM I thought I was supposed to have 560mb of VRAM...
    So the two questions are...
    Is there any way to upgrade my VRAM, so that I can play games on steam?
    Why do I only have 256MB VRAM when I have 8GB total RAM?
    Other Info:
    I have a quad core i7 Processor.
    My graphcics card is the AMD Radeon HD 6490M.
    I am also trying to play games on my BOOTCAMPed side of my mac, or my Windows 7 Professional side.
    THANK YOU SO MUCH IF YOU CAN REPLY,
    Dylan

    The only two items that a user can change on a MBP are the RAM and HDD (Retinas not included).  You have what the unit came with and the only way you will be able to change that is to purchase a MBP with superior graphics
    If you are very much into gaming, the I suggest A PC.  They are far superior for that type of application to a MBP.

  • Some basic questions on File Adapter

    Hello all,
    I have some basic questions on XI and File Adapter and hope you can help me. Any answer is appreciated.
    1. Can I use NFS transport protocol to poll a file from a machine in the network, which is not the XI? Or do I have to use FTP instead?
    2. If I understand it correctly - when using the FTP-File Adapter, XI has the role of a ftp client. I have to run a ftp server on my distant machine. XI connects to FTP-Server and polls the file.
    Can it also be configured the other way round? The scenario I think of would be: FTP client installed on distant machine, which connects to FTP-Server(XI) and loads up a file. So XI would act as FTP Server.
    I know this works, if I install a ftp Server on the computer my XI runs on, and use the NFS-File Adapter to observe the folder. But I want to know, if I need a second, independant ftp server for this.
    3. And last but not least: When do I need the active ftp mode instead of passive?
    Thanx a lot for your answers!

  • Some generic questions on BPM of NW CE

    Hi Gurus
      i have over 6 years of ABAP business workflow experience and over 3 years of XI experience. Now i'm getting tough with this new stuff, BPM of NW CE. Here i have some generic questions of it:
    1. How can i trigger a BPM task while a document, like a sales order , has been created in the system? is there any processes to catch the event of R3 in NWDI?
    2. Can BPM consume RFC/BAPIs in R3?
    3. Is it possible to make message mapping in BPM? i found there is a 'mapping' choice in the context setting of NWDI whereas it is quite simple compared with PI.
    4. Can the BPM be integrated with webdynpro ABAP? or send the relevant tasks into R3 directly? Actually what i mean is , can i bypass java programing while dealing with BPM of CE, if possible.
    thanks

    Hi Stephen,
    In the first released version of SAP NetWeaver BPM it is not possible to catch events of R/3 directly. Anyway. In case you have the possibility to trigger a web service in that situation you could start off a specific (BPM) process instance that handles the situation.
    The same is basically true for the question regarding RFC: In the initial version you'd need to wrap the RFC into a web service in order to consume it.
    The mapping possibilities in SAP NetWeaver BPM are meant to perform data flow between different activities in a BPMN based process model. This way you could transform a message that came into the process in that way that if fits your needs in regards to the BPM process (data) context.
    Bypassing Java when using SAP NetWeaver BPM would be difficult as the supported UI technology is Web Dynpro for Java. In addition the possibility to add more flexibility to your mappings by defining custom functions is based on EJB, thus again Java.
    Best regards,
    Martin

  • Embedded SQL against Oracle Question

    Software: Forte 3.0.J.
    Server Platform: HPUX 10.2
    Database: Oracle
    Problem Description: During the course of development, I ran into a
    problem using multiple columns in an sql UPDATE/SET statement. I was trying
    to update a.COLUMN_1 and a.COLUMN_2, which constitute part of the primary
    key of associative TABLE_A (a). In order for me to make the update, I
    needed to use the existing value of a.COLUMN_1 to lookup the new b.COLUMN_1
    in TABLE_B (b). Where a.COLUMN_1 = b.RELATED_COLUMN_1, I am able to find
    each b.COLUMN_2 that correspond to each a.COLUMN_2.
    I was able to resolve the issue by separating the two columns so
    that each had it's own select statement. Theoretically, it appears that
    this shouldn't work, because the SET statement for a.COLUMN_1 would cause
    the a.COLUMN_1 reference in the select statement of a.COLUMN_2 to be
    overwritten.
    In spite of this, I tried it, and it worked. I would like to
    understand why the sql works, and how sql actually executes the statement.
    Here is the sql:
    UPDATE TABLE_A a
    SET a.COLUMN_1 =
    (SELECT DISTINCT b1.COLUMN_1
    FROM TABLE_B b1
    WHERE b1.RELATED_CASE_ID =
    a.COLUMN_1 AND
    b1.RELATED_COLUMN_TYPE_CD = 'NEPHI'),
    a.COLUMN_2=
    (SELECT DISTINCT b2.COLUMN_2
    FROM TABLE_B b2
    WHERE b2.RELATED_COLUMN_1=
    a.COLUMN_1 AND
    b2.RELATED_COLUMN_TYPE_CD = 'NEPHI' AND
    b2.RELATED_COLUMN_2= a.COLUMN_2)
    WHERE a.COLUMN_1 = 100
    The table structure is as follows:
    TABLE_A: (primary keys are bolded) This is an associative table.
    Column_1 and Column_2 comprise the pk of one table; Column_3 and Column_4
    comprise the pk of another table. Assume that the Column_1 and Column_2
    values replacing the original values already exist in the parent table of
    which they form the pk).
    COLUMN_1
    COLUMN_2
    COLUMN_3
    COLUMN_4
    COLUMN_5
    TABLE_B: (primary keys are bolded) This is a reference table.
    COLUMN_1
    COLUMN_2
    RELATED_COLUMN_1
    RELATED_COLUMN_2

    If you do an explain plan or set autotrace on against this update statement,
    you'll find that the select operations are actually executed first by Oracle
    - I believe because of the nature of the transaction. Thus, no problem.

    Subject: Embedded SQL against Oracle Question
    Software: Forte 3.0.J.
    Server Platform: HPUX 10.2
    Database: Oracle
    Problem Description: During the course of development, I ran into a
    problem using multiple columns in an sql UPDATE/SET statement. I was
    trying
    to update a.COLUMN_1 and a.COLUMN_2, which constitute part of the primary
    key of associative TABLE_A (a). In order for me to make the update, I
    needed to use the existing value of a.COLUMN_1 to lookup the new
    b.COLUMN_1
    in TABLE_B (b). Where a.COLUMN_1 = b.RELATED_COLUMN_1, I am able to find
    each b.COLUMN_2 that correspond to each a.COLUMN_2.
    I was able to resolve the issue by separating the two columns so
    that each had it's own select statement. Theoretically, it appears that
    this shouldn't work, because the SET statement for a.COLUMN_1 would cause
    the a.COLUMN_1 reference in the select statement of a.COLUMN_2 to be
    overwritten.
    In spite of this, I tried it, and it worked. I would like to
    understand why the sql works, and how sql actually executes the statement.
    Here is the sql:
    UPDATE TABLE_A a
    SET a.COLUMN_1 =
    (SELECT DISTINCT b1.COLUMN_1
    FROM TABLE_B b1
    WHERE b1.RELATED_CASE_ID =
    a.COLUMN_1 AND
    b1.RELATED_COLUMN_TYPE_CD = 'NEPHI'),
    a.COLUMN_2=
    (SELECT DISTINCT b2.COLUMN_2
    FROM TABLE_B b2
    WHERE b2.RELATED_COLUMN_1=
    a.COLUMN_1 AND
    b2.RELATED_COLUMN_TYPE_CD = 'NEPHI' AND
    b2.RELATED_COLUMN_2= a.COLUMN_2)
    WHERE a.COLUMN_1 = 100
    The table structure is as follows:
    TABLE_A: (primary keys are bolded) This is an associative table.
    Column_1 and Column_2 comprise the pk of one table; Column_3 and Column_4
    comprise the pk of another table. Assume that the Column_1 and Column_2
    values replacing the original values already exist in the parent table of
    which they form the pk).
    COLUMN_1
    COLUMN_2
    COLUMN_3
    COLUMN_4
    COLUMN_5
    TABLE_B: (primary keys are bolded) This is a reference table.
    COLUMN_1
    COLUMN_2
    RELATED_COLUMN_1
    RELATED_COLUMN_2
    RELATED_COLUMN_TYPE_CD

  • Some simple questions regarding the Xcode.

    I have some preliminary questions regarding the Xcode (objective C):
    What is the difference between the programming files followed by .h and .m?
    What does an asterisk * followed by a text mean (i.e. *window;)?
    Is there any source that briefly explains the most common codes with examples (nsstring, nsarray, iboutlet, inaction.....etc)?
    Any other tips will be highly appreciated.
    Many thanks.

    Xcode is the IDE.
    Objective-C is the most common language used within Xcode.
    UIWindow *window .....  the * means return the address of the instance variable 'window'.
    An * is called a pointer to a variable.

  • Some basic questions from a mac newbie

    hi,
    i have been using linux and windows all this while, and recently began using an apple too. have some simple questions here that i hope to get some answers for.
    1. is there something similar to /etc/hosts in linux where i can add the IP address of a server? this is for me to use the 'ssh' command in the terminal
    2. when i open up an application, say safari or chrome, i want the window to fill the entire screen automatically, instead of having to drag the bottom right of the window to fill the screen. how to configure that?
    3. when i close an application by clicking on the 'x' at the top left, why is it that it still appears in the list when i press command+tab? to remove the application from the list, i have to right click on its icon on the dock, then click 'quit'. this is rather troublesome.
    appreciate any help!

    1. is there something similar to /etc/hosts in linux where i can add the IP address of a server? this is for me to use the 'ssh' command in the terminal
    The /etc/hosts file is there, but the /etc/ folder is hidden. You can use the Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities/) to access it via Unix, or could enter "open /etc" in the Terminal to open that folder in the Finder.
    However, I'm not sure how this relates to ssh... I have not needed to modify that file, yet I can ssh all I need to. Are you trying to connect to your new Mac via ssh, or connect to other machines from the Mac via ssh?
    2. when i open up an application, say safari or chrome, i want the window to fill the entire screen automatically, instead of having to drag the bottom right of the window to fill the screen. how to configure that?
    Just drag the window out to full-screen and the browser should remember and open new windows at that size in the future. There are also some utilities (one called "Right Zoom" IIRC?) that will make the zoom button (green + button) behave more like the Windows zoom button.
    3. when i close an application by clicking on the 'x' at the top left, why is it that it still appears in the list when i press command+tab?
    Applications shouldn't quit just because you close their last window, unless the application's entire user interface is contained within that window. That is the case with ALL Windows apps, since there's no global menu bar, but only in some Mac apps. This is something that always ticked me off big-time with Windows... there have been times when I carelessly closed a window I didn't need anymore, but wanted to keep using the app, and then had to wait for it to load again. That won't happen on the Mac.
    If this bothers you, just use the key combination command-Q to quit apps.
