What is the correct term for "static data"

Hi,
In this development shop we use the term "static data" for data that is loaded in the database prior to any customer registration / transactions being generated.
It might be currency codes, types of products etc - data that the application needs up front.
I was chided for using the term "static data" here before but was wondering if there is a better term for this -
do people generally call this type of data configuration data or read-only data ?
Or meta data ?
Any help appreciated

Or meta data ?I think "static data" is commonly understood in exactly the way you've used it, but "reference data" seems like a pretty good option.

What is the correct term for MacBook models?

This may seem like a silly question, but I can never figure out the official answer. Where better to find it than here.
Ok, so I was wondering whether you capitalize the first letter of the "mid", "early", or "late" when saying something like:
"This is the MacBook Pro mid 2009" or is it "This is the MacBook Pro Mid 2009".
I would normally think to capitalize, but several Apple products have exceptions such as the "new iPad" and "iPad mini".

My go-to resource for Apple product details is Mactracker, and there, when a Mac is identified by its year and time period of introduction, the Early, Mid, and Late are always capitalized. The iPad and new iPad aren't. The rational is, I suspect, that the new iPad will only be new until it isn't, but the MacBook Pro Mid 2009 will always be the Mid 2009 model no matter what comes after. Essentially, it's a permanent descriptive name whereas the new iPad is only a temporary state. Moreover, if you check Apple's support website, you'll see QuickStart guides for specific Macs using the same capitalization scheme.

Update my app. What is the correct procedure for updating an app/folio?

I designed a folio in Indesign CS6 and created an app of the folio in adobe dps and succesfully uploaded it to the app store. Now I want to update my app. What is the correct procedure for updating an app/folio?

no, just update your content and recreate the Single Edition App. Your certificate should still be valid so there is not need to recreate these.
... your App ID absolutely need to be the exact same one you used for the first version if you want to make sure this is an update.

What is the correct way for each user to have there own data?

Hi All,
I'm building an app that each user that logs in sees no one else's data except what he or she enters.
What is the proper way for the easiest maintenance using this model?
Where do I start?
Thank you, Bill

Bill,
Look into Fine Grained Access Control (FGAC). It is Oracle's version of Virtual Private Database (VPD). In a nutshell what it does is when a "SELECT * FROM table" is used against a table that has a policy on it, the policy will append the appropriate WHERE clause to the SELECT statement automatically. In you instance you probably have some type of USERNAME column. When "SELECT * FROM table" was executed the database engine would change it to "SELECT * FROM table WHERE USERNAME = 'RIFE'" and execute that SELECT statement. You write a function which returns the text to be automatically appended to the WHERE clause. You define a policy on the table which names the function to fire.
Google for "Fine Grained Access Control" or "Virtual Private Database".

What is the correct syntax for using a variable in an ad hoc query?

Hi all
I am an occasional DB user and at the moment need to update about 1000+ records so that a certain column gets a unique value.
So I thought that I would use a variable for this.
I then built this kind of SQL statement for just a small subset of the records:
variable recNumber number;
exec :recNumber := 1;
UPDATE TABLE_TO_BE_UPD
SET COL_TO_BE_UPD = COL_TO_BE_UPD + recNumber
WHERE COL_TO_BE_UPD IN ('VAL_A','VAL_B');
I get the invalid SQL statement error when attempting to execute above (besides the prompt that asks for a value which I would like to omit).
Anyway I also tried this one:
CREATE SEQUENCE seqCounter;
UPDATE TABLE_TO_BE_UPD
SET COL_TO_BE_UPD = COL_TO_BE_UPD + seqCounter.NEXTVAL
WHERE COL_TO_BE_UPD IN ('VAL_A','VAL_B');
From this one I got the error ORA-01722: invalid number...I am guessing this comes because seqCounter is of type number and the COL_TO_BE_UPD is of type character...(?)
So what I would like to ask is what is the correct way to define and use a counter type of variable to append a number at the end of a character string?
Also another question that I would like to ask is that are variables that are used in ad hoc queries also called 'bind variables'?
Thanks muchly

If you want to append a unique number to a column then this would do it:
UPDATE TABLE_TO_BE_UPD
SET COL_TO_BE_UPD = COL_TO_BE_UPD ||to_char(rownum)
WHERE COL_TO_BE_UPD IN ('VAL_A','VAL_B');

What is the correct procedure for upgrading to aperture 3.4

I am working in South Sudan and am shortly going to be in a place where I can download all the updates. The last time I did an update was around 2 weeks ago.
I presume that there will be updates for Mountain Lion, iPhoto and Aperture, plus a whole pile of iOS updates. From the support questions I see that there is a number of people having problems.
I presume that the first thing to do will be to rebuild the library of aperture.
What is the correct procedure after that?

If I do an upgrade through AppStore, and find it does not work, do I uninstall first by removing to trash? What do you mean by revert to an earlier version, and which previous version of Aperture should I use.
Neville,
So you did buy Aperture from the AppStore?
Then move the Aperture application to the Trash, but do not empty it, just in case
Sign into the AppStore and reinstall. In this case you do not need to revert to an earlier version. If the AppStore installer does not find an Aperture in your Applications folder, it will have to make a full install, and no incompatible frameworks should remain, as is the problem with the partial upgrades right now.
Yes, I have a bootable clone,
And have you checked, if you really can boot from your clone? Just being very cautious.
Do you use facebook? Some posters are having problems, even after reinstalling, if the want to publish to Facebook. Post back, if you encounter that problem.
Good Luck

What is the correct architecture for retrieving several complex decision reports

The project that I am currently working on is required to save decision reports for several complex outputs. These outputs are needed for each person entity contained in the request. All of the person entities are joined via relationships and the more people that are sent in the request, the more complex the decision reports become.
We are using the determinations server and it is called as a web service.
The determinations server starts having performance issues when the requests contain 6 people entities and times out when the number of people get to around 10.
Checking the response size for a 10 person request with the complex decision reports yields a response size of around 40mb.
What is the correct architecture to still have the traceability of what happened by having a copy of the decision report for each run without impacting system performance?

Has anyone else encountered this issue?

What is the "correct" name for the new iPad? Is it also called the 3rd Generation?

I have the latest iPad, purchased Mar '12. But when I read Apple News it is referred to as the "new ipad" & somtimed the 3rd Generation. What is the "correct name & will "SIRI" be available with this Fall latest update? Thanks!!!

Yes, it is somewhat confusing isn't it. Almost like, the iPad is having an identity crisis. I believe the official Apple line would be that it is the "New iPad" but I see it referred to the 3rd generation just as frequently as the new iPad.
Siri will be available for the "new iPad/3rd Gen when iOS 6 is released this fall.

What are the correct settings for the Canon 5D mark II in FCP 7 ?

I am shooting full HD at 23s97 fps.. tried making a preset for the Canon but when I import fils FCP always wants to change to appropriate settings for this file type but doesn't tell me what that is...
(latest firmware installed)
Please, can someone provide all the correct settings for me?
And also, why doesn't the camera show up on the desktop/in the menus when attached to the mac? I have ro use EOS utility every time I want to get anything off of the camera... and FCP doesn't see it either. That's just not right - FCP MUST recognise my camera!! : (
Please help - I don't want to start editing until I have the right settings for this footage.
Thanks
Jim

Welcome to the Boards
Not sure what you mean with the following, looks like a word dropped?
I have ro use EOS utility every time I want to get anything off of the camera...
Anyway, some more specs on your system could help point where the issue is. With the new Plug-In by Canon you can Log & Transfer from the Flash Card (not sure how you connected the camera.) Alternatively you could just drag the files in (but make sure to keep all files such as THM in case you use Log and Transfer later.)
Generally it is best to transcode to Pro Res to be able to work with the files in Final Cut. (Log & Transfer should do that, or using Compressor/Mpeg Streamclip.)
It (Final Cut) is probably changing the timeline to match the codec, or depending on your last preset used, just switching things around. In other words if you were editing in DV and had a set up for that, new sequences would default to that and if you try to ad anything else you will get the message.
Take a look at the search over there -> to look for the Canon 5D threads for some more info.
What I would do is just pull one of the clips in to start and look at what the sequence settings are aftr Final Cut changes them for you - they should be fine generally, though you will want to change Codecs to Pro Res.
I like just batch conversion of all my clips from the 5D Markk II and then work from there. (I do not hook up the camera to the computer, just use a card reader.)
