What job is good for me? do you think...

Hi folks,
I can see that you are cooperating all nicely; a sense of community indeed. And all for the sake of it. Keep it going...
Now here is my question:
I love databases, in fact crazy about them :-)
i am certified in oracle 9i, and believe to have received good training in SQL, almost from A to Z. (Sure i can do joins and subqueries :-))
I have a general idea, a good one still i think, about PL/SQL. (not as good as SQL*plus though).
If i wanted to have a job in databases like Oracle, what should i be looking for?. Is knowing SQL good enough for a job???
Put differently: has anyone started from this position and found their way out as far as databases are concerned?.
I do have other skills but wish to diversify my job search.
Thanks a bunch,
-a

Hi Nicolas,
You have a good point. If you do a job you don't like, then this isn't going to work i think. Sooner or later you get bored:-)
My point was, however, slightly different: are there jobs where you can utilize SQL*plus as a major skills?. If so, what kind of job titles should i be searching for on HotJobs etc.?.
If SQL*plus alone isn't enough, what else should i need to learn as far as database programming is concerned?.
Thanks,

What is Java good for?

I need to develop a really serious solution for Win2K server, that will handle security data. Now I am thinking of a platform to do it. Can Java really secure the data I will trust to store it? I mean various mulfunctions, program bugs, errors, so on. Microsoft really insists on trusting its programs, not Java's (see the installiation guide for Win2K: 'Java cannot be used for medical, technical (for example handling the nuclear enterprises) ...'), so I don't know what to do. Developing a Java solution will be simplier that doing the same thing with VC.Net, but ... What do you think? What is Java good for?

Microsoft really insists on trusting its programs, not Java'sDo you trust Microsoft?
(see the installiation guide for Win2K: 'Java cannot be used for medical, technical (for example handling
the nuclear enterprises) ...'), so I don't know what to do. The nuclear bit is in the Java license ("You acknowledge that Software is not designed, licensed or intended for use in the design, construction, operation or maintenance of any nuclear facility.") I think it's probably either a result of US law requiring some certification or other for software used in nuclear facilities, or a preemptive move by Sun to forestall possible lawsuits.
The JVM is stable, probably more so than .NET since it's older, and should be suitable for your use, based on the description so far. The things you need to worry about are primarily personnel and hardware configuration (i.e. disabling virtual mem).

What is -Xms good for?

The java option "-Xms" specifies the initial size, in bytes, of the memory allocation pool. But what is it good for, other than the additional memory may be get a little more quickly when
default size < required size < initial size set with -Xms
If an application requires more memory, the JVM allocates more memory up to -Xmx.

okay, but what if i can't predict, how much memory is
needed? (in my case, the application generates PDF
files based on dynamic XSL/XML content that could get
arbitrary big.)
another point is, that the application should not
behave "intrusive" by claiming all memory it can get.
instead it should only claim what it really needs.These are some of the reasons why the JVM, by default, adapts its
memory usage. If you go and change its behaviour by specifying
memory usage options then you are of course able to make the JVM
play unfairly with the available system resources.

Exam 70-483 what is it good for?

what is it good for taking the exam?
if you have a CS degree and c# experience, yet can you benefit from passing the exam?

Hey Lemon Sky,
Degree is very important, but there are businesses that require certificates from Microsoft (this is essential if they are business partners of Microsoft they have several employees with valid certification).
You explain the title of most logic and the practical aspect based on Microsoft systems, to take the exam should know the system and in a practical and not just theoretical. So it can add a lot.
This test is part of the third Test categories: MCSD: Windows Store Apps Using C#
https://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/mcsd-windows-store-apps-certification.aspx
If you pass this test, there are 2 more tests you upgrade the current certification
70-484 - Essentials of Developing Windows Store Apps Using C#
70-485 - Advanced Windows Store App Development Using C#
Please Mark This As Answer if it helps to solve the issue

What is reflection good for?

i heard people use reflection with rmi, but what it is good for?
if i use reflection to figure out what methods etc a class has, how do i know what they do?

Oh cool, you just gave me an idea!
Storing bean class names in a db and upon retrieval of any name, a single utility can construct an entire GUI editor panel for any variety of java bean conforming to the Java Bean specifications. This way, if ever I want to add a new Panel to an application for a new module or set of features, all I would hypothetically have to do is create the bean and add the name to the db and load up my app without even having to create the new GUI interface for editing it.
thanks!
Oh and one other additional thing reflection is good for, is interfacing with XML config files using the attribute names as identifiers for locating the setters (E.g., Spring Framework) as well as a bunch of other related XML things.
Your imagination is your only limit. I would excercise caution in where and how you use it though. Usually best to use in initialization routines rather than runtime functions or during exhaustive processes.

If you don't have a credit card then you might be able to use iTunes gift cards instead - that's what I currently use for purchases. You might be getting the 'billing problem' message due to it being a debit card, which as I said I don't think are still accepted - you might want to contact iTunes Support via the link that I gave to confirm one way or the other if that is the case.

and now, when i tried to check again my network preference below the airport tab is showing a message that
"my airport does not have an IP address and cannot connect to the internet!"
then after seconds it will goes back to the first message that
"airport has the self assigned IP address etc....."
i don't know whats going on now!
airport tab is not showing green color anyway! i'ts always in yellow!
i tried turning it on and off but nothing happen! HEEELLLLPP!!!!

Is the ipod shuffle or nano good for exercise if you just use the clip on the unit, and connect to your shorts? if so, does it feel like it's too loose, might fall off?

is the ipod shuffle or nano good for exercise if you just use the clip on the unit, and connect to your shorts? if so, does it feel like it's too loose, might fall off?

I often use my shuffle while exercising, cleaning, and just generally going about my day. Never once has it come unclipped exept for when I got the earbud cord caught on something and got said earbuds yanked out of my ears. I have permanently solved that problem by simply running the cord under my shirt. Works like a charm! I can't answer you about the nano, though I'd say it has a higher likelihood of coming off as it is a bit heavier.

Is SAP support job is Good For future??

I got a job offer as a SAP support on multiple modules[MM,SD,ABAP]. Company bond is 4 years[company is trusted] and i need to work on as a SAP support for 4 year[no implemention].
Is SAP support have a future or not?tell me the growth and salary after 4 year.I don't have a SAP certificate and course, but i have done my java course. Tell me can i accept job offer or not. Salary is 2.4 lakhs per annum and then 3.6lakhs per annum then 3rd and 4th year not so much growth.
Plz plzz reply me what knowlegde u have abt SAP support.

Hi Sonal,
I am into SAP from the past 6 years.
Future in SAP is always best. I have seen many consultants rising with good track in there career.
Your friend RAJ is so lucky that without any SAP background, he got an opportunity in it.
I suggest you people to utilize it.
Don't think really SAP Support means - you need to provide your services only for existing developments. Apart from the existing developments you received new developments as part of Support project.
Currently I am working in Support project but literally speaking I worked on only 5% of the existing developments, but 95% worked on all the new developments.
As you said RAJ has to work on different modules - yes of course as SAP consultants we can stick to only one module. If a consultant has multiple modules then his demand would grow to high in the point of opportunities.
Never think that you have to be in Support project on different modules for 4 or more years. Just think that you don't have offer in your hand now, then what is your approach? What are you going do? Are you going to learn any technology? If yes, how are the openings for the technology you have choose after you complete your training?
Just ask these questions to yourself? If you really don't want to waste time and want to click soon in your career then you have the option already waiting for you to move to SAP.
SAP is always king in ERP industry. The growth, onsite opportunities, challenging career etc will always be there here. The only thing you need to do is - Dedication, Hardworking and Updating your self on different modules always.
I think I have provided you enough information. If you have any doubts further please feel free to ask.
It's not only me, but everyone would suggest you the same.
JUST DON'T LOOSE AN OPPORTUNITY WHERE YOU CAN GROW ALWAYS...!!!
Regards,
Rafi

What is C++ good for?

I think it's kind of weird that Microsoft can't build a class designer that displays manged types in C++. Why is it that C++ always comes last out of all of the languages! I know it isn't the most popular language but still, you begin to feel like Microsoft are trying to shut it off so there are only 2 languages, C# and VB. Over the years I have learned to program in C++ because of the pointer functionality and the sense of control you have over your code. Where as in C# you know less about what pointers and memory are doing and as a result it makes it easier to program in C#.
But then it begs the question what is C++ really good for at the end of the day. There is less and less functionality for it and it's language with many syntax obstacles compared to the easy and quick ways of writing C# code.
I would really appreciate different sides of the debate because then it might help me to realize that learning all about C++ wasn't such a waste of time after all.
Thanks in advance

What is C++ good for?
simple answer: it's the only language you can use to write real programs with (= for a computer) ... all other "programming" languages are some kind of scrippting tools in my eyes
but today they even call html and css a "programming" language ... that's like saying "hey, I'm a chef, I know how to cook water"
it's true, that we should talk about C/C++ and not about C++ alone and it's also true, that there are things in those language which I would like to change... but far less than in C#, Java and VB... oh and by the way: no, it's not complicated,
it's powerful ... with C/C++ you can program the machine! you can decide what it should do! and you know if you're talking about a pointer, a variable, and integer or what ever...
and if somebody is passing a string by value... well, then... this person simply isn't a programmer... that's it ...
so, again... what is C/C++ good for? it's the only way to write computer programs
that's what I think...

What is icloud good for?

I don't quite get it... What is icloud really good for? And why should I prefer it to Dropbox?

iCloud is good at keeping your email, contacts, bookmarks, calendars synced across multiple devices. Say you get a new iOS device or Mac, log into your iCloud account and everything is synced to the new device. iCloud has some features that are like Dropbox, but very limited. Photostream is one and Documents and Data shared across devices. I think iCloud is headed in the right direction and one day, we won't need to use Dropbox. In the meantime, iCloud doesn't match the ease and functionality of Dropbox as far as sharing files go.

Ellipsis - exactly what is it good for?

Seriously, I have yet to find a use for this thing.
I can't use it as a phone. When I first activated it, I tried to call it from my smartphone for testing. "We're sorry. The number you dialed has been changed, disconnected, or is no longer in service." Yeah, no. I can't dial out either; the dialer app just goes 'dur?' when I try.
Bluetooth doesn't work. It'll *pair* with anything, but won't actually *connect* after pairing.
I put several of my usual notification tones on the SD card, since, you know, additional storage is what it's for. My PC sees them when it's connected via USB. The apps, however, don't. Not even ES File Explorer can find them.
Smart Push on my work (Exchange) account goes silent without warning until I manually refresh it. What's so smart about that?
I can't even use it as a navigator; nav apps don't see the GPS.
OK, I got the thing for free, and I suppose it's worth exactly that, but why am I paying $10 per month for the line? What am I getting for that $10, aside from a headache?

I'm sorry to hear you're having so mucn trouble with your tablet coinneachfitzpatrick. This tablet can not be used as a phone, which is why you received the error message when you called the number. In regards to bluetooth, what type of bluetooth connection are you attempting to add to your tablet. Due to this being a tablet and not a phone, it wont pair as your phone would. You can pair wireless keyboards and other devices. Here is a link to help http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/devices/knowledge_base.html/89045 .
Lets discuss your files you save to the device and smart push. Are the files you saved compatible with your pc? Is your tablet updated with the latest software which could correct the email issue? Please keep us posted.

MEMORY, What is it good for.....

...absolutely something.
I'm sure of it, but was wondering...
I just added 4Gb to my 1.8MHz single G5
I was wishfully thinking it would help speed up things using Archicad. (the min. spec is 1.5 Gb... which I had before upgrading).
Did a few tests before and after installing the memory .... with no apparent changes.
The new memory appears in "about this mac" status OK. I reset the PRAM.
Is there a way to check if the memory is working?
Am I dreaming that increasing ram will speed things up??
Should I bag this PPC and get a new iMac???
Thank you for any insight.
Cheers,
Marco

Virtual memory size is what is set aside for the applications use in case it is needed. The figure is large
as it represents the max that the system will allow the application to use. It does not represent how much is currently being used by the application. I excerpted this from an MacOSXHints article I linked to below, I think it explains the Activity Monitor memory information very well:
PhysMem is just that -- physical memory -- your installed RAM.
1. Wired = memory allocated that shouldn't/can't be swapped/paged out (ie its locked into memory -- possibly portions of the OS code for example).
2. Active = allocated memory that has been accessed during last N seconds.
3. Inactive = allocated memory that hasn't been accessed during last N Secs (quite likely to be first candidates for being swapped/paged out if memory being demanded).
4. Used = Wired + Active + Inactive
5. Free = memory that isn't allocated to any process or the kernel.
6. VM = Virtual Memory ( a fictictous amount of memory that represents a processes upper potential limit for its memory allocation or requirements -- very raely ever requested).

What is the main purpose of ichat server what is it good for?

i've been looking at ichat server, but can't figure what advantages is has opposed to just using ichat on bonjour on my network? what is it good about it?

What are your goals here for chatting-style communications?
iChat server provides a way to leave messages for offline users, server federation, connection encryption, public key authentication, connections across networks, and various other features and options.
Here is the [iChat Server Administration 10.5|http://images.apple.com/server/macosx/docs/iChatService_Adminv10.5.pdf] manual; check the first couple of pages for some high-level details on the features. A quick Google search for iChat Server or jabberd or /"ichat server" features/ will most certainly turn up a [feature list|http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/features/ichat.html], too.

What job is good for me? do you think...
