Too big select lists

Any advice for what to do when you are using a select list and the dynamic query that it builds upon might some time in the future be too big for it?
For example I am currently using a select list for all projects registered in a CRM application. What about when this list grows to more than it can hold as a result of the customer adding 300-400 projects (I guess there is a 4000 char limit in total for this page item)?

Hi
I suppose that you could use a cascading LOV and then separate your projects by category, even this could lead to lists that are too long to be easily usable though.
My suggestion would actually be to have a searchable report region of your projects and their attributes with something like a link column that the user can select to to to another page, populating an item with the project id.
Cheers

Character string buffer too small (select list query based LOV)

Hi,
Using the select list query based LOV with a select witch is too big, you get this error.
report error:
ORA-20001: Error fetching column value: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
When using the Popup LOV query based LOV) then it works nice.
Can that be solved somehow?
With the Popup LOV the return value is displayed in stead of the description.

Hi Andy,
How do I incorporate your suggestion on a report ?
Example : I have
select apex_item.display_and_save(1,column1,5) col1,
apex_item.display_and_save(2,column2,5) col2 ,
apex_item.popup_from_query(3, emp_name, 'select user_name, name empname from table2) col3
Table 2 is a long list , and I'm getting string buffer too small due to this.
Your suggestion with HTP is good but I'm not sure how to implement it for reports as I'll like the user to change the values with the select_list.
I'm not using forms as they want mulit-record on the same page.
Hope to hear back from you soon.
Thanks very much.

't' and 's' in font GFS Didot don't correspond to selected font size. 't' is too small, and 's' is too big. Can this be corrected?

't' and 's' in font GFS Didot don't correspond to selected font size. 't' is too small, and 's' is too big. Can this be corrected?
GFS Didot is nearest listed MUSE font in appearance to Adobe Caslon Pro, which is the font used in the book which the website is intended to promote. I would like to use Adobe Caslon Pro (I paid for it and it's on my computer, but not in the cloud). Is there any way to install Adobe Caslon Pro as a MUSE font choice in the cloud?

I need to downsize phots to publish on a website but they are too big . In help it says when I select a photo it gives me the option to downsize. It does NOT. ?

I can't figure out how to downsize my photos for a website that won't take anything above 3MB my Photos are 4MB. Even when I send them in an email, they are too big to send more than 3 at a time and I don't know how to fix it! Help says that when I select a photo it gives me the option to downsize. It does NOT?????

This is the iPhoto for iOS forum. Are you asking about iPhoto on your Mac?
In iPhoto on your Mac select Export and you will have the option to select a size for your photo.
In iPhoto for iOS this capability is not there. I use PhotoForege2 on my iPad to resize my photos to meet the requirements you describe.

My CS3/PS has started to change the cursor into a line of three VERY small icons when dragged over a picture or menu. Thus it is VERY difficult for instance to drag a layer in the layer list to the wastebasket - the cursor simply is too big for the waistebasket icon. Even all other exact work is impossible. Of course I have checked all the cursor presets but nothing seems to help. My OS is Windows7.

Have you tried resetting Preferences?
A logical next step would be to reset your Preferences.
To reset Preferences:
If Photoshop is already open on your screen, close it (Quit). Then hold down Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) / Shift+Command+Option (Mac) on your keyboard and start Photoshop.
A dialog box will pop up asking if you want to delete the existing Preferences file (the "Settings"). Click Yes in the dialog box. The existing Preferences file will be scrapped and a new one will be created.

Select list pagination not working for big tables

Hi,
i am trying to view a table with large amount of data using tabular form. the pagination using select list is not working in this page. i have selected select list kind of pagination but it is showing "row range 1-15 16-30(with set pagination)' type of pagination. when i lowered the amount of data in the table the pagination type will automatically change to select list pagination. could you please tell me why this happens and any possible work around if any.
Thanks,
Jo

Hi Jo,
I don't know what you call a large amount of records, but the effect you describe might be intentional by apex.
The select list pagination would generate a selection tag with (number of records in table/15) options in your page HTML.
Although there isn't a hard limit to the number of options a select list can have there certainly is a limit to what your browser/pc can render.
Think about it
Let's say you table contains a million rows. this would result to a select list with 66666 options. Which your browser won't handle :)
I very possible the apex team resolved this by simply reverting to row range pagination when the number of select options would grow to large.

Dreamweaver cs6 site selection list too long

I just noticed today that my site selection list in the file tab group was extending past the bottom of my screen, and I was not able to select one of the sites near the bottom of the list. When I hook up to dual monitors, and move dreamweaver to the second screen it does not extend past the bottom of the display, and I'm able to choose the ones near the bottom of the list.
Has anyone else seen this problem, and is there a work around for it? I'm working off of a laptop, and the dual monitor is not always an option for me.

Please report this as a bug:

I have a multi select list the size of which is restricted doe to other items on the page but some of the values in the lov are wider that the display area, is it possible to get a scroll bar at the bottom so users can scroll alaong and see the few values that are too big.
Thanks Andy

The code looks like this. I can really use some help here.
Label grp = new Label("Group By:");
     buildConstraints(constraints, 0, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1);
     gridbag.setConstraints(grp, constraints);
     add(grp);
     grplist = new List(4, false);
buildConstraints(constraints, 1, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1);
     gridbag.setConstraints(grplist, constraints);
     for(i = 0; i <= number_of_fields; i++){
          grplist.add(data[0]);
add(grplist);
     data6 = new Checkbox("6 sigma data",false);
     buildConstraints(constraints, 1, 12, 1, 1, 1, 1);
     gridbag.setConstraints(data6, constraints);
     add(data6);
     show = new Checkbox("Show values",false);
     buildConstraints(constraints, 1, 13, 1, 1, 1, 1);
     gridbag.setConstraints(show, constraints);
     add(show);

     buildConstraints(constraints, 1, 14, 1, 1, 1, 1);

     add(aver);
     remove(aver);

CS6 PSD Could not export the clipboard because it is too big to export

I have been getting the error "Could not export the clipboard because it is too big to export" since upgrading to CS6. The same files at the same bit depth on the same computer do not cause this error in CS5.
In fact, I can open a file in CS5, copy it, and paste it into CS6 with no trouble. If I then copy again within CS6 and leave the program, I am given the error. (As a note, I have not run these programs simultaneously, except to run this test.)
This error appears regardless of whether Photoshop CS6 is running alone, or with several apps.
The Raw files are from a Canon 5D mark ii and tend to be 20-25MB in size,
I am running a Mac Pro 2.8GHz Quad Core Intel with 24GB of RAM. I have set the preferences to allocate 70% of this RAM, which should be sufficient. Changing the allocation to 90% or 100% has no effect, nor does adjusting the tiles configuration. My scratch disks have 130GB and 500GB free.
How do I correct this problem?

Hi, FYI, To duplicate a layer on top of itself, use Command+A, Command+J (jump the layer) if you need part of it, make a selection instead of a Command+A, this will also avoid the clipboard, and use Photoshop's scratch disk instead.
(I don't know why you run into that issue in CS6 and not in CS5, so I try to give you useful workarounds)
I'm not talking about bigger tiles, but of unlimited clipboard size that you find here for CS5: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4965
But are not listed here for CS6: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/plug-ins-photoshop-cs61.html#id_68969?PID=3350462
Maybe did you install it in CS5, but forgot all about it?

ITunes Library too big - how to fit on Mini?

My iTunes library got too big, and I got the message saying "you don't have any more room on the Mini so we'll make you a playlist and put some cool songs in that list". I said okay, and went to work. When I got home, I figured I'd delete some stuff to make the library smaller. And I deleted the playlist that iTunes made! DOH!
I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling, resetting. When I try to synch I get the message "we can't move anything because the playlists you want to move don't exist". So I tried making new playlists. That didn't work.
Any ideas?

hi Jorgi!
folks get that message when they have "automatically update selected playlists only" selected in their itunes "ipod" preference tab.
plug in the ipod, and wait until it shows up in the sourcelist. go "edit > preferences" and click the "ipod" tab.
under "automatically update selected playlists only", there's a list of playlists. deselect any (in the preference tab) that no longer exist (in your sourcelist), and select the ones you want to sync to the mini.
love, b

Encore CS6 - File Too Big For Disk

My Computer Stats: Imac 3.4Ghz,Core i7, 8GB Ram, About 2 years old.
My Project: Standard Definition, 16x9 Aspect Ratio, About 4 hours of raw footage captured from dv tapes to external usb drive dock with a 500 GB drive in it, footage edited down in Premeire Pro CS6 to 1:55:00 and used Dynamic Link to bring the project into Encore to make a standard definition DVD. Rendering the ISO file to the desktop of the iMac.
I have done this process many times with projects of similar length. Each prior time I was able to make a DVD. I have tried many of the DVD Presets. The lowest quality preset estimates the file size at 3.4 gig. But the resulting file is 5.43 gig. I have adjusted many of the Project Settings and Quality Setting, even setting the quality to its lowest setting. The resulting ISO file will not get any smaller than 4.92 gigs. Too big to fit a 4.7 gig blank disk.
I have tied this process on the iMac listed above and on a Mac Mini. Prior to this project I had not had any issues making DVD's on either machine. The only thing that is different and common to both machines is that I had installed Premeire Pro CC recently on both to test it out. However this project was captured in PP CS6 and edited in PP CS6.
My client wants the DVD's he has paid for. My deadline has passed. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

The first preset has been selected.
Okay; but that is why I want to see the project panel. You can "select" a preset in the edit panel, but not "select" it as the actual transcode setting.
The Transcode Settings panel, not the Edit Quality Presets panel, is where you actually set the preset to be used.

A Protocal Message was rejected because it was too big

Hi,
We are having SAP BOBJ 4.1 support pack 2 and patch 3, on linux environment,
when we run some specific reports we are facing any issue
A protocol message was rejected because it was too big (more than 100663296 bytes). To increase the limit (or to disable these warnings), see CodedInputStream::SetTotalBytesLimit() in google/protobuf/io/coded_stream.h.
we have increased the value of
List of Values Batch size = 4000
Maximum list of Valuses Size = 100000
Still we are facing the same issue.
Please let me know what could be the issue as other reports are working fine.
Thanks,
Balaji.S

Hi Balaji,
Yes, However at times issues do appear due to "ulimit" settings.
Also this error comes from maximum size of protobuf packets, which are exchanged
between WIPS and DSLBridge service.
It seems that data being retrieved might have increased.
Tune the BICSResultChunkSize value to an appropriate one.
******Please take a backup of registry before doing the cahnges.
1. Open the Windows Registry
a. Click Start > Run. The Run dialog box appears
b. Type #regedit# in the Open: text box. Click OK. The Registry Editor appears
c. navigate to the key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SAP BusinessObjects\Suite XI 4.0\default\WebIntelligence\Calculator]
2. right click, select New > String Value and name it BICSResultChunkSize and value (e.g. 4000) lower than default 100000 lines
3. close the Windows Registry
4. Restart the Web Intelligence Processing Server and the Adaptive Processing Servers that host the DSL Bridge Service

Display and return value in select list.

hi,

how can i define display value and return value in this quary using 3rd table s_per_det.
How can i do this.
Thanks
manoj

Ooh, MINUS.... Can you not use a NOT EXISTS in this case, could have a big effect on the execution plan?
Something like this perhaps?
SELECT f_name||' '||l_name,
       stundent_id
FROM class_record a,
     s_per_det b
WHERE a.student_id = b.student_id
AND   a.class_id   = :P1_CLASS_ID
AND   a.section    = :P1_SECTION
AND   NOT EXISTS(SELECT 'X'
                 FROM student_type_details c
                 WHERE a.student_id = c.student_id
                 AND   c.class_id = :P1_CLASS_ID
                 AND   c.section = :P1_SECTION)Cheers

When doing a second "Organize Library" cuz the first was too big, will iTunes recognize what's already copied over?

I'm stuck with a large folder of music on my PC in My Music folder. And I used "Organize Library" in iTunes but it didn't copy everything over because the amount of music was too big. I've deleted the original copies of music outside of iTunes to open up more space and was wondering if I do a second "Organize Library" if it will recognize that some of the music has already been copied over.

I don't know what "restore the iPod" is
It's usually the second thing to do (after Reset) when the iPod is not working correctly.
Select the iPod in iTunes and click Restore.
See this -> Restoring iPod to factory settings
what about my main question? Can I go back to "sync all" but manually block certain albums?
No because sync all is just that.
Sycning specific playlists should work fine. And you can create more than one and sync which ones you want.

I'm trying to open a 900kb Word doc (240pages) in Pages but get this error message: Import Warning - A table was too big. Only the first 40 columns and 1,000 rows were imported.

Julian,
Pages simply won't support a table with that many rows. If you need that many, you must use another application.
Perhaps the originator could use a tabbed list rather than a table. That's the only way you will be able to contain a list that long in Pages. You can do the conversion yourself if you open the Word document in LibreOffice, Copy the Table, Paste the Table into Numbers, Export the Numbers doc to CSV, and import to Pages. In Pages Find and Replace the Commas with Tabs.
There are probably other ways, but that's what comes to mind here.
