Spotlight search for AppleWorks Database and Tables
Hello,
how can i make Spotlight to search in AppleWorks-Database and AppleWorks-Tables?
Thanks
Achim
As Yvan says, Spotlight doesn't search these files directly.
I have many AppleWorks Database files, some of which are regularly updated. My preferred workaround method to take advantage of Spotlight is to make pdf files as I find them better for searching than text files. (You can retain the layout of your database, and also list all the occurrences of the search item in the file.)
For each AppleWorks Database I do the following:
• Make a new layout and name it "For pdf".
• Put all the data fields I might want to search in that layout
• Make the layout black & white only (i.e. black text on a white background) to keep the file size small.
• Save that layout as a pdf file using Print => Save as pdf
Of course when I add a significant amount of data to a particular database file, I need to make a new pdf to replace the present one.

Spotlight searchs for English apps and not Spanish
Hi,
Some macs I own have a very estrange problem. A can use spotlight for finding everything but no Spaniard words for Applications. for instance, if I use spotlight for searching "address book", no problem at all but if I search for "agenda", which is the Spaniard word for address book it won't find it in applications.
This only happens in spotlight, but not in finder, where all the apps have their Spaniard name correctly and of course I have the system in Spanish.
How can I solve this?
ThanksHi,
I had the same problem once and solved it like this: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=888614&tstart=0

Edited by: Thomas Zloch on Dec 7, 2010 4:21 PMhi,
You can do this by estimating maximum no of records of that internal table used for table control to some number and then assign that number lines field of table control.
try this.

Beginners question about creating first database and tables
Hi all,
i recently have installed 10g express edition, because i want to transform my php-script from mysql to oracle database. (due to the fact that mysql is "not allowed sofware" at the company i work for).
it is a quit small script, just a shift-report system, build because of frustration about an used shift report system based on excel sheets. Company likes it, but IT-department rejected it, because it is myssql. They do own a lot of oracle servers, so they set up a database for me, got a username and password.(Tnsnames entry). The rest i have to do by myself, no further support from IT department.
I have made 2 simple php functions to connect to database:
// for connection home server:
function conn()
$user = 'user';
$password = 'password';
$conn = oci_connect($user, $password, 'localhost/XE');
return $conn;
// for connection at work:
function Xconn()
$db = '(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = xxx.eu.xxx.com)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = NVGPP)))';
$user = 'xxxxxxxx';
$password = 'xxxxxxx';
$conn = oci_connect($user, $password, $db);
return $conn;
}I just add or remove X character before function name, for use at home or at work.
both do work fine.
First thing i wanted to do, is to create my database and tables.

How do i create this database and tables?
after googling i read something about schema owners, but cant find anything about how to copy my mysql database/tables to oracle.
Please, help is really appreciated by me.Translating from mysql to Oracle will need a bit of fixups for the DDL, once an oracle instance is created, set up and running, you won't create a database but you will have a database user or users that create/own a collection of tables, indexes, functions, procedures, etc.
It will take a bit of pouring through the oracle documentation to get those table create statements to work, i.e. the engine=, charset=, auto_increment items won't succeed, datatypes need adjustments, the tic marks around the entity names aren't necessary, quite a few other items from the mysql data definition language don't have an oracle equivalent. -
It would be great to have spotlight search for iBooks.
Hi,
have the same requirement. iBooks as it designed right now is not Apple like at all.
Spotlight is not able to find books.
Files are renamed into the depth of operating system.
Like this I better keep my PDFs in normal folders being able to search for the title and even the contents.
Actually I expected that feature in Yose. ...

Spotlight search for text messages not working
After upgrading to ios8, I discovered that the spotlight search for text messages only "sees" my last two texts but not any of the others I have on my phone. These are all active conversations, not deleted messages. Any ideas how to fix? Thanks.
I Fixed mine by going to setting->General->Sptolight and unchecking "messages", exiting the function then returning and rechecking "messages".

Is there anybody out there who is still using Appleworks Database and is there a good alternative?
Is there anybody else out there who is still using Appleworks Database and is there a good alternative?
There is no replacement program that will directly read Appleworks database files.
You have two options:
1. Continue to use Appleworks 6.2.9, which requires Rosetta installed in Snow Leopard, or the access to Rosetta by installing Snow Leopard Server in virtualization for use in Lion, Mt. Lion or Mavericks:

2. Export your database information into a common export function (such as delimited ASCII text file) and build a new database file in an alternate database program (such as Filemaker Pro) and import your information into it. More information here:

I can't seem to figure out why I can't delete and redownload my apps. I'm very confused. I've tried turning my phone on and off, and doing a soft reset.
Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck! -
Has anyone else had issues with phone network being unavailable on iPhone 4 since updating to iOS 5.0.1? My iPhone 4 is continually searching for a network and does not find AT&T, my provider. I swapped SIM cards with another iPhone 4 running ios 4 and established this is a device problem, not a SIM card problem.
Does the device get any signal?
Sounds like the device may have had a hardware failure. If it is out of warranty, the only option is the Out of Warranty replacement.
AppleCare is only an option if it is still under the original warranty. -
As soon as I keep the iPhone (iPhone 5) on the desk the network goes off and when I swipe it then only it starts searching for the network and get it in 30 seconds.
If someone is calling me during that time it says mobile is either switched off or outside the coverage area.
Please helpYou may need to force it into recovery mode. See here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17766427#17766427

Why does Maverick mail no longer search properly?
I used to search for a name and it would find it in One or All mailboxes. Now it sometimes works, but mostly not. Any solutions?I would like to add that Comcast is my internet provider. Perhaps that is part of the issue although the Connection Doctor confirms the mail box is connecting to the internet. No other function processes when Connection Doctor program is used to find the source of the issue. I have read forum posts but am unable to find a way to get my Apple mail to be delivered to my computer. It worked fine up until I chose to transfer mail to the Cloud. My mail account is a .mac account.
Still hoping someone out there can help me.
thanks,

Searching for missing files and damaged photo icon
I am trying to view photos that I have viewed in this program numerous times before but now when I click on the photos, I get a message that says "searching for missing files". Sometimes, the photo appears with a red icon below it that resembles a wripped photo. Does this mean my photo has been damaged by the program?
I too have been told to find them on my hard drive but still nothing comes up, I can find the picture name and then do a search, but nothing. I've tried several times and it just keeps saying seach for missing files not found. I can see my collection of pictures, but there blury and then when I try to click on them, it says searching for missing file and it gives me the file name, and then I've tried to go under my search and put that file name in and nothing comes up, I also got NO help from adobe and they want us to buy more products??? They could have warned us somehow on what happens if you move them or try and put them on disc, and that's what happen, I put some on disk or at least thought I did and then realized I didn't want to do that, so I hit the UNDUE and I guess it was so late or something, cuz I can see the pictues, just can't open them. I'm wandering if I need to have a expert see if he can get them off of Adobe, I really want the pictues I have graduation pictures on there and need them very much. Would love to have help from anybody. Please.
Thank you

Can i use create function for MSSql scalar and table valude function.
Hi,
1) Can i use create function for MSSql scalar and table valued function?
2) How many type of user defined function are there in oracle 11g express?
3) And can i reture any "type" form user defined function?
yourse sincerely944768 wrote:
Q1)That means even if i return predefined types like integer, varchar2 then also PGA is used ?The data type does not determine where the variable is stored. A string (called a varchar2 in Oracle) can be stored in stack space, heap space, on disk, in a memory mapped file, in a shared memory, in an atom table, etc.
It is the who and what is defining and using that string, that determines where and how it is stored.
The Oracle sever supports 2 languages in PL/SQL. The PL (Programming Logic) language is a procedural/declarative language. It is NOT SQL. SQL is integrated with it. The PL/SQL engine uses private process memory (PGA). So PL/SQL variables exist in the PGA (but there are exceptions such as LOBs).
Q2) So please suggest me solution in oracle.Sounds to me you are looking at how to implement a T-SQL style function as an Oracle function, and once implemented, do joins on the function.
Do not use PL/SQL in SQL in place of a SQL select. It is not T-SQL.
One cannot use PL/SQL to create functions along the style of T-SQL, where the function executes a SQL using some conditional logic, and then return as if the function was a native SQL select.
T-SQL is an extension to the SQL language - making it a hybrid and very impure language implementation. PL is based on ADA - part of the Pascal family of languages. The E-SQL (embedded SQL) approach used in languages like C/C++, Cobol and Ada, has been transparently done in PL/SQL. You can write and mix PL code and variables with SQL code. And the PL/SQL engine figures out how to make the call from the PL/SQL engine to the SQL engine.
But PL/SQL is not "part" of the SQL language and does not "extend" the SQL language in a T-SQL fashion.
So you need to check your SQL-Server preconcepts in at the door, as they are not only irrelevant in Oracle, they are WRONG in Oracle.
The correct way in Oracle, in a nutshell - Use the SQL language to do data processing. Use PL/SQL to manage conditional process flow and the handling of errors. -
