Spatial Story For Newbies

Hi All,
There are lot of Information on Oracle Spatial. Different datamodels, like Network. Java Api Support like JGeometry. OGC Conformation. Raster Vector. GML output etc.
All these information seems to be disconnected to a newbie. There is a need for an all encomapassing small writeup.
I request for short writeups on what all ways Oracle Spatial can help a GIS(WFS/WMS) developer.
Thanks in Advance!!

Are you using Linux?
Also after you create your shared Object file you
must move your ".so" file to a directory in your path.
Then run ldconfig and just to make sure, log out of
your account.
Is this even your problem? This is just the basic troubleshooting steps that I would take.
Post more info. if this dose not help.
Good luck,
--Ian

Can Oracle be forced to use the spatial index for sdo_filter in combination with an or clause? Difference between Enterprise and SE?

We’re seeing the following issue: sql - Can Oracle be forced to use the spatial index for sdo_filter in combination with an or clause? - Stack Overflow (posted by a colleague of mine) and are curious to know if this behaviour is due to a difference between standard and enterprise, or could we doing something else wrong in our DB config.?
We have also reproduced the issue on the following stacks:
Oracle SE One 11.2.0.3 (with Spatial enabled)
Redhat Linux 2.6.32-358.6.2.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu May 16 20:59:36 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
11.2.0.3.0 Standard Edition and 11.2.0.4.0 Standard Edition (both with Spatial enabled)
Microsoft Windows Server 2003R2 Standard x64 Edition
However, the SQL works fine if we try it on Oracle 11.2.0.3.0 *Enterprise* Edition.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Kindest Regards,
Kevin

In my experience sdo_filter ALWAYS uses the spatial index, so that's not the problem. Since you did not provide the explain plans, we can't say for sure but I think yhu is right: Standard Edition can't use the bitmap operations, and thus it'll take longer to combine the results of the two queries (because the optimizer will surely split this OR up in two parts, then combine them).
BTW: when asking questions about queries here, it would be nice if you posted the queries here as well, so that we do not have to check another website in order to see what you are doing. Plus it will probably get you more answers, because not everyone can be bothered to click on that link. It would also have been nice if you had posted your own answer on the other post here as well, because my recommendation would have been to use union all - but since you already found that out for yourself my recommendation would have been a little late.

Which is better for newbies?

Which is better for newbies, Jgrasp or Netbeans? I need something that explains errors more thoroughly than Jgrasp.

Here's my code with 3 errors. Now bear in mind that my program has compiled completely and ran correctly up to this method. All I'm trying to do with this method is get the average of all grades in a multi-array. I researched and found some code that was similar to what I needed to do but it's not working out yet. All other methods in my program work perfectly but I can't get this one to compile.
public double getMean(int allGrades[][])
 int total = 0;
 for (int grade : allGrades)
 total += grade;
 System.out.println("Total is "+getMean(grades));
 return total/allGrades.length;
} // end class GradeBookGradebook.java:100: illegal start of type

Hi,
Can someone please help me to get the co-ordinates (such as Latitudes, Longitudes) to render India Map in OBIEE 11g version?
I did have sent mail to NAVQTEC for the same, but still no response. Can someone please help me in getting the Spatial data which is compatible with Oracle 11g?
Please let me know if there is any other vendor who can help me provide the spatial data for India.
Regards,
S.Nagabathirise

Hi,
I need the spatial data for India as well.
Please suggest me how can I have that data or How can I get that data from google Maps.
Thanks

HELP ME GUYS WITH CREDIT ADVICE FOR NEWBIE

Thanks for reading! I just want to ask you guys, I'm looking to help my girlfriend open her first credit card. I have plenty with all of the creditors and I began with Capital One. I believe at that time I had my student loan reporting though. She has nothing on her report aside from a few inquiries (AT&T and a few store card HPs). She said some of her friends have been approved for a low CL Discover It card. I don't know if there is a Discover It offering for newbies or if they must just have something on their report. I recommended she get a Cap1 card. That way she can have her son on the card image and I know that since I've heard they triple pull they're pretty leanient. What do you guys think? Any advice on what secured card she should get should it come to that? Thanks very much again!

Do NOT cosign for your girlfriend. If you break up, your finances could get messy.
Have her apply for an It card, they love clean, thin files. If that fails, go for a secured Boa card or Cap One credit steps. Maybe make her an AU on an Amex of yours to build history (you can artificially set a limit to limit your liability).Amex is the one I called first about AU and then Citi. I almost did it with Citi because surprisingly the rep for Amex wasn't very helpful. Should I (she) even be concerned with inquiries when she literally has no score anyway? Do they really impact a score that doesn't exist or do they hurt a score once one becomes available. The whole thing is I was just concerned that we'd apply for stuff and she woulnd't get approved and that she'd have another senseless inquiry. As I said, she already has several.

Online systems configured for newbies to experiment

Why does SDN not have online systems configured for newbies to experiment online.
Will this pose too much of an administrative task? with the skills available in this forum it should not be a problem.
or is it a question of making profit through the training academies which are not affordable to individuals not backed by their companies to learn on the technology?

An interesting thought, however with so many users we would need a server farm of test systems to handle it. And with users wanting to try so many different things it would be rather difficult to maintain the servers and have some sort of schedule for maintenance, resets, etc.

Tomcat Wiki: very important for newbies

Hi everyone!
I have a very important suggestion (important for newbies or ... me) for the tomcat wiki. To work with tomcat without problems you must have permissions on the configuration files. So i think the wiki must have something related to permissions and groups like
gpasswd -a <user> tomcat.
All the configuration files bundled with the tomcat package doesn't have the permissions for any user to read its content. The only easy way to have access to this files is adding your user to the tomcat group.
I hope this helps.
See ya!
PD: sorry if you notice my poor english.

Would that fix this mod_jk problem? Do you mean to say that I have those permissions when I actually edit those files?
I think the wiki is also mistaken assuming that JAVA_HOME is in the /opt directory.

It's a no brainer between the AirPort Extreme and Airport Express.
The AirPort Extreme has 6 wireless antennas up at the top of the "tower", while the AirPort Express has four, so the Extreme has significantly better wireless speed and range than the Express.
As you know, the broadcast power of wireless routers is limited by law, and most routers are running full blast. Apple routers are not known for their broadcast power, so what we cannot tell you is whether the Extreme will outperform the existing wireless router that you already have in terms of range.
Also as you know, the speed of your Internet connection is limited to the plan that you have with Verizon. An Apple router cannot take the speed of Internet connection that it receives from your Verizon plan and make it go any faster.
A user who has both the same Verizon router as you and an AirPort Extreme might be able to tell you how the products compare in his home.
But...and this is a big BUT...... the bottom line with any wireless router is that you will not know how well it performs in your home until you try it out in your home. To think otherwise would be foolhardy at best.
Buy from Apple and you have a 14 day return privilege in case things don't work as well as hoped. Other stores may offer a similar option. Check first, before you buy.

Live CD for newbies and dial up users

From comments I am receiving abut the usage of AL-AMLUG Live CD, it helps newbies to install the native Arch Linux in HDD. Without any "headage" it does all the major configures (X, sound, network, and LILO) for you. The "hd-install" includes Hwd (hardware detect) and net-install with DHCP & ADSL setup.
Does sounds good for a newbie? Anything good also include a "but...". Disadvantage with hd-install, in my opinion, you will miss the learning of Arch Linux's configure system what you may need for post configure of new hardwares and programs..... sooner or later you have to become an Archer
The live CD is also for the "dial up users" with 56k modems, when the packages in Arch Linux's latest installer CD getting outdated. Example, AL 0.5 was released July 21, 2003. The current live CD 0.4.2 with the base, KDE and common packages updated on February 12, 2004.
http://amlug.net/new-projects/live-cd/p … list-0.4.2
GNOME users may not be happy. For your information, there is still 280MB space on the live CD for more packages. Total space: 1.3GB (compressed to 700MB).

beniro,
after week of not even touching this thread i still have to say that i fail to see what is derogatory in my comments. derrogatory is where you put down something for the sake of putting something down. i hardly ever do something like that. i may be blunt but hardly ever derrogatory.
look in the mirror? i have done that alot i have looked in the mirror i have tried to understand the way some people came to the conclusioned they did about me. perhaps i a m blind or stupid but when have i ever not tried to get something positive for the community? when i look in that mirro i see someone who put alot of time and effort into helping the community with problems. i see somebody that where ever they have gone always express what they feel despite what blowback may happen. i don't believe in bottling things up. in the end though all people see is the negative.
nifan,
there are lots of ways to help a friend out installling any distro. but in the end if you don't know the guts then expect things to go bad at some point. linux is not designed for someone who just wants the computer to do everything. indeed if linux were like that then there would be a whole host of security risks presented.
as for me slamming arch. well if you didn't notice i having only been too willing to always air out arch's dirty laundry. i have been harping on the documentation and so have many others. should those others move on too while the developers/community continue to bury their heads in the sand and feel they can keep marching on? if somebody didn't do who would and where would arch be then?
i am here EVERYDAY. EVERYDAY since i joined this forum. i have asked and answered questions, i contributed on the irc channel, i worked for the distro everyday for almiost a year. i know what was going what went on. i still point out some thigns to aid the developers. in the end my view of kiss never really strayed from the documented version of arch's kiss statement and i felt arch had and was continuing to. there were just too many small things that bothered me and i decided to use another distro.
now that i have moved on though i needed something to keep my desire to help occupied and crux does not have a forum nor can i help out that much on irc because it is distro mainly used by europeans and our clock are just not synced. i still know arch fiarly well and actually crux is very similar so why not help. i have nothing against the community.
why do i get bitter then. well to beat dead horse. i try to help or try to voice an opinion and the response i commonly get back a tirade against my person. now it is at the point now where some people do not or refuse to see any constructive or helpful posts i make here. take al ook at rasat he is someone who has been the victim of many a criticism from me and he never once made any insults towards me nor did he ever not put the blinders on to what i was saying. after nearly a year of taking the odd jab from me he still knows exactly why make the comments towards his projects i do.
in the end i don't really care what he does as his work does bring people to the arch community. i just try and make sure that he can design his projects in such a way as to not create a pile of mindless users that need their hand held through everything. from what i remember of early versions of hwd for example he made it still a very hands on approach for the user. ultimately that is what i wanted him to hear and he did.
if you don't think that the system taking control of your work environment is a burden on the community take a look at just how much help we need to give here and on the mail list. if people had come from a more hands on environment they would rarely have to use irc, forums or mail lists. linux is hard to get used to because it is desigened to be hands on sytem and anyone who does not want this should really not be using it. thats mean but true. with ease comes security risks.
belive me i am lazy i came from the least hands on distro before arch and i would NEVER go back to distro not like arch or crux or ... i have learned alot and there is very few issues i cannot figure out. arch's kiss approach taught me alot and crux has brought me back to it.
in the end i am here to help and if you doubt that then well you just should not bother with any of my posts because i WILL piss you off eventually whether i am trying to or not.

General place for newbie datamodeler questions?

With the production release of SQL Developer Data Modeler I'd assume that this forum will draw a bunch of new users. Is there a better place to ask some pretty simple, newbie like questions that won't bother the more seasoned members?
For instance, I am working in a Rails environment, which has some stringent naming conventions, one of which is that all of the primary key columns are numeric and called "id", with the foreign key linked columns called <table_name>_id. When engineering a logical model to a relational model, the added foreign key columns are all "id#". Is there a way I can define a naming rule to keep me from having to redo the relation column names?
Also, we have a standard set of columns (mostly Rails related) which appear in every table. Can I define a generation rule which automatically includes these tables?
Thanks

Thank you. I will try changing that setting.
IS there a setting which tells the relational model to automatically create pk and fk indexes? I haven't seen one, and manually setting them up is a tedious task. --sw

Host String for Newbie

I'm trying (in vain) to start sql*plus but am failing on the Host String: parm.
I know my instance is up because oem, auqa-studio and jdbc all operate a-okay.
Where do you suppose Oracle keeps its' documentation on this cryptic parm? Certainly this "host string" must have a format. I've tried every format I can think of.
Getting ORA-12560 and ORA-12170.
I believe the format is something like 123.66.7.99:1521/ORCL
Hate to call Oracle support for such a newbie problem.
Thanx in advance.

123.66.7.99:1521/ORCLWhich version are you on ? That syntax (easy connect naming method) works on 10g only.
Where do you suppose Oracle keeps its' documentation on this cryptic parm? See http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14196/network.htm#sthref173
Try using Net Configuration Assistant (netca on Unix/Linux) to configure your connect string.

Wi-Fi or Network Connection - Explaination for Newbies (Like me)

Myself and my wife Marlene have recently been converted to the BB World. We both bought 8900 Curves, on the same day, and both with BB data plans and Internet browsing plans included. The only difference between the two handsets is mine is from Orange-UK and Marlene's is from O2-UK.
When I got home I set them both up (why is it always me who has to get them working), and connected them to our Home Wireless Network. Now, here is where things went strange. When I went into Mobile Network Options I got a choice of "Preferred Connection", and had 4 choices (Network Only - Network Preferred - Wi-Fi Only - Wi-Fi Preferred) and chose Wi-Fi Preferred as my "unlimited" plan is actually capped at 500MB. When I went to do the same with Marlene's there was no such choice.
Now, being from an Engineering background I could not let this rest, as everytime I was in range of a Wi-Fi network my BB would connect and UMA would show in the top corner. With Marlene's, no connection, and EDGE in top corner. Well, to cut a long story short I managed to get in contact with someone from RIM, and after a time of complete bafflement (is that a word?) he came up with the answer, which I quote:
TerrySorry for the delay in replying. I wanted to be sure that my understand was correct before responding. O2 use the standard Wifi capability whilst Orange use UMA Wifi in their devices. This is a device feature and not software. There is a feature in UMA Wifi: •          Auto-handover (2G/3G ó WiFi) for BlackBerry data serviceØ       BlackBerry always chooses WiFi network when it is availableSo if you have an O2 device it will always attached to the Cellular network first unless you have it switch off and have the appropriate profiles for the local Wifi network.
So there you have it. The system is set by your provider, and there is little you can do about it.
If you are going on a PAYG Data Plan with a provider it may be worth checking which system they use. It could save you alot of money in the long run.
Sorry for the long story, but it seems a popular topic, and hopefully this will go some way to explaining why it is happening on your BB.
Terry

You must have the Data Plan for certain functions (push email and RIM applications like Facebook, the browser, etc.)
You can use your HotSpot browser on WiFi without the Data Plan (Options > Advanced > Browser > HotSpot browser and save).

Trying to create install script in PackageMaker...help for newbie

Hello,
I am trying to deploy a solution as an install package. Currently, there are 3 items inside the folder that needs to be installed in the /Applications folder. This in itself is easy. However, when I create upgrades to the solution, I want to carry over one file from the previous installation to the new one. Is there a way to have this upgraded version install and instead of removing all of the earlier files, can it install the new files (which are 3) and carry over 1 of the other files.
I hope this makes sense. Thanks for any input or sample scripts that I may be able to modify to accomplish this.
Thanks,
Stephen

Thanks for your time!
Perhaps it would help if I explain a little further my situation and what I am trying to accomplish.
I have a database runtime solution that I want to distribute. I have all of the necessary files in a single folder, let's say, named "Progam 1.2". Since whenever I upgrade this version, I need to have the old data file from the previous version on hand to import into the new file, I create a new folder called "Program 1.3" So after the installation, I would have both folders. The user then opens the new version and the program then will import the previous versions data. At that point the user may delete the previous version folder entirely.
My question is how can accomplish an install so that the new version will not overwrite the previous folder "Program 1.2" when installing the upgrade to "Program 1.3" since I need the data file for updating the data. Ideally, I would love to have the new folder installed and the single data file in the previous version folder be copied to the new versions folder and be renamed to "Previous Data" so that the new version can update the data.
Again, I am a complete newbie in this arena and have simply been doing DMG files where the user copies the new version to the applications folder. But if there was a way to automate this installation more, I would like to do that.
Thanks again for your help!
Stephen
