Ways to understand and manage a databse

databse version: Oracle 10g
I have a task to understand a database of around 2500 tables in a months time.
After a months time, I would be involved in creating the base data like customer, product ect..
ALso in data cleansing and all. The data created by me needs to be perfect control. I need to be aware of any changes and issues with these data.
I have 2 qwestions in this.
1. what is the best possible way to first get familiar with the database - I dont have the option of going through the code. The source code is complex and its not in oracle. There is no ER diagram.
2. How to control and amange the data set.
I know lot of people would have gone through it and mastered. So, Please help!!
Your input is greatly appreciated.

do you want more to know about data or database (activities of the database administrator)?
if it data,then make use of the tools like ERWIN to understand the relationship between tables. you can also use same tool for the tables which you are going to create.
for more DBA related activities read oracle docs.

I can't find a way to sort and manage my bookmarks like I could in FF 3.x

I'm trying to sort and organize my bookmarks and when I try and "manage" them like on previous versions of FF there is no option under the Bookmark tab. Is this feature hidden or disabled in the 4.0 Beta 7?

You're welcome
You open a folder of bookmarks via the right-click context menu > Open All in Tabs.
"History > Show Al History" and "Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks" now have similar names.<br />
You may want to check out all menu items to see what they do.
You can add a few more items (Error Console and the DOM Inspector) to the Tools menu if you enable two devtools prefs, in case you are interested in them.

* devtools.inspector.enabled (Bug 593536)

What is the easiest way to create and manage very big forms?

I need to create a form that will contain few hundred questions. Could you please give me some advise on what is the easiest way to do that? I mean for example is it easier to create everything in Word (since it is easier to manage) and than create a form based on that?
My concern is that when I will have a very big form, containing different kinds of questions and with many scripts, managing it during work will be slow and difficult, for example adding a question in the middle of the form which would require moving half of the questions down which could smash the layout etc.
What is the best practise for that?
Thanks in advance

Try using Table and Rows for this kind of forms. These forms will have the same look throught with a question and and answer section..
In the future if you want to add a new section, you can simply add rows in between..
Thanks

What's the best way to import and manage iPhone video?

I don't really want to use iPhoto for importing video - it doesn't seem like it's built with that in mind even though it's the default option for importing both photos and videos. It doesn't have very good (if any) options for filtering just videos or just photos, either when viewing or importing. And I don't want to have videos all jumbled in with photos in my iPhoto library.
I also don't really want to use iMovie every time I want to import videos. I know it's designed for video, but it's far more of an editing app than a management app and I don't want to be editing all my videos or loading up iMovie just to browse them.
I considered Clipstart but it commits a cardinal sin when it renames all my videos in the Finder to a sequential numbering that begins at 01.mov for each new day, creating hundreds and thousands of identically titled movies in the video library, albeit in their own folders, but chaos if you want to search in Spotlight or anything.
So I'm left with Image Capture, which gives me complete control of what I import and where it goes. The problem is that it too doesn't offer a filter for seeing just the videos or just the photos on my iPhone. My photos are all being imported automatically by Photostream so I only want to grab the videos. If I set 'view by width' it seperates out the videos because they have no width tag, but then they aren't displayed by date order so I can't easily find the new videos I've not imported before.
So... what do you do?

That's exactly the sort of crafty workaround I like. I didn't know they were all tagged, but that would definitely work. I'd still love a dedicated app that did it really well, or more love given to that side of things in iPhoto. iMovie is too hefty for just managing them.
Is iPhoto properly built to handle management of iPhone video, by the way? I didn't want to use it because it didn't seem like it was, and also because I sync my iPhoto library with Dropbox and video would more than treble the size of the library so I manage it from the Finder mostly, importing clips to iMovie if I do want to edit something (rarely).

Photos- best way to locate and manage (Help!)

I moved to a Mac Pro with the idea that it would be a great computer and help me manage my tens of thousands of photos. I tried to import my photos from an external drive and it failed multiple times. I started using iPhoto and Picasa to manage new photos taken but when I went to send some to my family I couldn't find the ones I imported into iPhoto. After a lot of trouble I realized iPhoto hides the files from you. So I think I exported them all and then I think maybe I found them and moved them to my master repository but then I found thousands of files in the trashcan that I couldn't locate either on my MAC or my external drive. I have no idea what is going on but I'm now very concerned that I've lost photos. I really resent iPhotos heavy handedness in photo management and thus don't want to move to it anymore- I might go back to a PC after this laptop because i can't find files in general and I think the learning curve is too great for me. So my questions are:
1. What is the best way to manage photos in the interim, while I still have a MAC but the bulk of my photos are on an external drive? Will the MAC let me save future pix directly to the external drive? Or should I do all photos through a PC
2. Is there any way to expose the iPhoto files in finder?
3. Has anyone use Picasa with success on a MAC? Am I right in thinking it only stores local photos if you edit them in Picasa? I am having a lot of trouble FINDING photos in Picasa- esp ones imported from my iPhone. It's nice that the mac imports "new" iPhone photos but I can't find them again so that is not so nice.
4. Is there a duplicate detector people recommend? I have made a royal mess of my external hard drive of data as well as this MAC trying to import, find and recover pictures and data.
I am extremely frustrated and i would appreciate any help. I don't have a ton of time since I work full time and have three kids and I basically have done no photo sharing or editing in the 6 months I have had a mac because it's too confusing.

Easiest way to create and manage several videos on top of each other

I want to have one video pay for 10 seconds
I then want 40% reduced version to play on a loop on the top left
Below it, there should be 2 further videos side by side - each 20% size
Below these 2, there should be another 2 videos side by side each 20% size
What's the best way of doing the above?
Just using the timeline is super fiddly trying to adjust videos
Maybe use compound clips?
Any advice would be great
Thanks

… What's the best way of doing the above?
aside creating a template in Motion5, I would recommend to use the Info pane.
I'm a huge fan of mouse/MagicTrackpad, but using FCPX now for quite a while, I learned THIS app needs widely use of the keyboard.
have a look:
as an example:
four inserts, 'nicely' arranged … and there's a 'scheme':
in the info pane, you'll notice the same numbers, again and again:
all inserts 33% in size - type it in = all same size.
all inserts are at '300' and '140' - due to the coordinates in use in FCPX,
it just varies in +plus and -minus signs/preface
so, once you have found your layout, round-up (no huge diff. btw -133.68/141.7 and -130/140 ), note your number-scheme; instead of dragging around handles, type your values - fast & precice. And easy.
another option: copy/paste attributes cmd-shift-v .... if your inserts have to appear all at the same position

How do I understand and manage my OTHER ? my impression is that it increased dramatically after ios5 upgrade.

I have successfully upgraded my iphone 4 to ios5.
However I noticed an apparent large use of my 16g storage, 3.3g as "OTHER". Whether this occured because of the upgrade or I'm just noticing it for the first time, how can i manage this usage? what is driving it? how can i correct this?
i checked my email, and there is no large demands apparent there, and while i have my calendaring set up, i'm not really a user of this. the only app that might drive load is the audio version of the economist, but i don't see this driving more than a few tens of mb.

Some people I've talked to speculated (but could not confirm) that this "glitch" would be fixed once someone registered their own iCloud account to the old device; this would force the old device to be removed from my iCloud account and transferred to the new user. How long have you been experiencing this "glitch"? I'm guessing if Apple calls it a glitch on iCloud, it won't be fixed any time soon...

How do I Create and Manage one library for several computers

As our family has grown over the years, we have 4 kids and 6 macs and duplicate images scattered thought all the separate computers in their own libraries. Is there a way to create and manage one central library that all computers access? That way we can reduce the headaches when we need an image and have to go to each computer and search it's library. Not to mention when we need to jump on a computer and it doesn't happen to be the one we have our library on and need to download our pictures and they end up forever lost on a different computer.

You cannot share a library over the network, since a library needs to be on a locally mounted volume, but you can put a shared library onto a "sneaker drive" and plug it into each of your mad in turn, see Apple's support document:
iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201517
iPhoto does not support to merge libraries. But iPhoto Library Manager can.
You can download it here: http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/
See : http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/Help/merging%20libraries.html
Or, if you have Aperture, you can use it to merge libraries. Aperture 3.3: How to use Aperture to merge iPhoto libraries

Does CQ5 Support and Manage Contextual Linking?

Hello everybody. I'm a newbie to CQ5. I was wondering if there was an easy way to implement and manage contextual links (such as links buried within the copy of a body text)? Can CQ5 identify a word, such as "fan", and everywhere "fan" is in the body copy, a link to another webpage showing the fan is provided. So, the question is whether or not there is a centralized "contextual linking" management function? If not, would the typical way to implement a contextual link be a manual funtion, thereby requiring one to implement and track all links within the body manually? Thanks for your help in advance.

I no longer have the PC that had my CD library and purchased music on iTunes. I am now on another PC and managed to download my purchased iTunes music etc. Is there a way on iTunes that I can get back my old CD music library without ripping again ?

I no longer have the PC that had my CD library and purchased music on iTunes. I am now on another PC and managed to download my purchased iTunes music etc. Is there a way on iTunes that I can get back my old CD music library without ripping again ? Earlier back up is corrupted. Thank you in advance. No longer have my old iPod but getting new one.

If you had the hard drive from the original machine, a backup of the same, an iPod with the media, or a subscription to iTunes Match then there would have been hope, but alas no.

Any way i can create and manage SharePoint 2013 workflows in browser.

Guys,
is there any way i can created and manager sharepoint 2013 workflows in browser like Nintex lets you do. This will eliminate the need for sharepoint designer.
thanks
MM

No. SharePoint's work flows are created from SharePoint Designer or Visual Studio. Third party solutions like Nintex have other approaches.

My friend is trying to send me a video but the video won't send because it's to big and my phone has a limit is there any way to remove or manage that please

My friend is trying to send me a video but it won't let her because it's to big and my phone has a limit is there any way I can either manage it or take it off to where I can receive the video please help thank you

Is she emailing this video? If that is the case you will need to contact the email provider you use and ask them to raise their limit. If she is trying to text it there is a 300k limit for MMS.

Trying to Understand Color Management

The title should have read, "Trying to Understand Color Management: ProPhoto RGB vs, Adobe RGB (1998) my monitor, a printer and everything in between." Actually I could not come up with a title short enough to describe my question and even this one is not too good. Here goes: The more I read about Color Management the more I understand but also the more I get confused so I thouht the best way for me to understnand is perhaps for me to ask the question my way for my situation.
I do not own an expensve monitor, I'd say middle of the road. It is not calibrated by hardware or any sophisticated method. I use a simple software and that's it. As to my printer it isn't even a proper Photo filter. My editing of photos is mainly for myself--people either view my photos on the net or on my monitor. At times I print photos on my printer and at times I print them at a Print Shop. My philosophy is this. I am aware that what I see on my monitor may not look the same on someone else's monitor, and though I would definitely like if it it were possible, it doesn't bother me that much. What I do care about is for my photos to come close enough to what I want them to be on print. In other words when the time comes for me to get the best colors possible from a print. Note here that I am not even that concerned with color accuracy (My monitor colors equalling print colors since I know I would need a much better monitor and a calibrated one to do so--accurately compare) but more rather concerned with color detail. What concerns me, is come that day when I do need to make a good print (or afford a good monitor/printer) then I have as much to work with as possible. This leads me to think that therefore working with ProPhoto RGB is the best method to work with and then scale down according to needs (scale down for web viewing for example). So I thought was the solution, but elsewhere I read that using ProPhoto RGB with a non-pro monitor like mine may actually works against me, hence me getting confused, not understanding why this would be so and me coming here. My goal, my objective is this: Should I one day want to print large images to present to a gallery or create a book of my own then I want my photos at that point in time to be the best they can be--the present doesn't worry me much .Do I make any sense?
BTW if it matters any I have CS6.

To all of you thanks. First off yes, I now have begun shooting in RAW. As to my future being secure because of me doing so let me just say that once I work on a photo I don't like the idea of going back to the original since hours may have been spent working on it and once having done so the original raw is deleted--a tiff or psd remains. As to, "You 're using way too much club for your hole right now." I loved reading this sentence :-) You wanna elaborate? As to the rest, monitor/printer. Here's the story: I move aroud alot, and I mean a lot in other words I may be here for 6 months and then move and 6 months later move again. What this means is that a printer does not follow me, at times even my monitor will not follow me so no printer calbration is ever taken into consideration but yes I have used software monitor calibration. Having said this I must admit that time and again I have not seen any really noticeale difference (yes i have but only ever so slight) after calibrating a monitor (As mentioned my monitors, because of my moving are usually middle of the road and limited one thing I know is that 32bits per pixel is a good thing). As to, "At this point ....you.....really don't understand what you are doing." You are correct--absolutely-- that is why I mentioned me doing a lot of reading etc. etc. Thanks for you link btw.
Among the things I am reading are, "Color Confidence Digital Photogs Guide to Color Management", "Color Management for Photographers -Hands on Techniques for Photoshop Users", "Mastering Digital Printing - Digital Process and Print Series" and "Real World Color Management - Industrial Strength Production Techniques" And just to show you how deep my ignorance still is, What did you mean by 'non-profiled display' or better still how does one profile a display?
