What type of ext disk to use as scratch disk ?

Hi,
I've been searching this part of the discussions all day to find out what type (USB2.0/FW400/FW800) of external disk to use for FCP as a scratch disk. No luck yet. I've also checked the docs on this, but I couldn't find anything.
Did a Google search. Found all sorts of different setups people are using. No consistency.
I need some help on this.

Shane's Stock Answer #43 - Types of hard drives and how they compare when working with video
Drive types and how good they are when it comes to dealing with video...
USB 2 = BAD
Firewire = GOOD
e-SATA = more GOOD
Internal SATA = more better GOOD
eSATA RAID = more MORE better GOOD
4 gig FIbre = Just about the best you can get! (great for SAN networks)
External PCIe = Da Bomb! 5 times faster than Fibre

What type of hard disk should I use if I want to use it on mac and windows?

Hey Forum,
I am using windows xp on my macbook (snow leopard). I came across some dealers who say that there are hard disks for mac only and for both mac and windows. So, I wanted to buy a hard disk so that I can use it both on mac and windows xp, so what type of hard disk should I use? Must I partition into 2?
or are there any harddisk in the market which is compatible for both mac and windows xp without screwing up the format(NTFS/Mac OS X Journaled)? Pls look into this matter and help me with it.
All of your replies and suggestions is much appreciated.
Thank you.
Ala.

Run, don't walk, from that dealer! and never look back
Once in a very long while Apple will have customized firmware on drives, and it is possible to find SCSI/SAS or drives that are destined to be used with high end storage controllers.
But that is the exception that makes the rule.
SATA is SATA. Though.... there are now SATA III drives that don't work in XP, or that need a jumper, and Seagate and some drives have managed to deliver firmware that has caused trouble... and Apple has had to issue firmware updates to help compatibility....

What type of partition should I use? Range or Hash or ..?

Hi,
I am on Oracle 8.1.7.4 .
I have a table with 10 million rows and looks like its a good candidate for partitioning.
There is a varchar2 column and the data is evenly distributed on the string value. If I want to partition the table on that string value what type of partitioning can I use. How can I give the range, if I use range partition, on the string value ?
Can/Should I use hash partitioning?
I know that there is a list partitioning in O9i, but I am on 8i.
Please help.
Regards

Table volume, in itself, is not enough to warrant partitioning â¦ hope you have some other reasons.
<quote>
â¦ but would like to partition the table on the mentioned varchar2 column, so that queries would be efficiant.
</quote>
Since you donât mention the actual query or class of queries, maybe it is worth mentioning that partitioning could speed up some queries but also can slow down a lot more other queries.

So, how can i re-create the table partitioned on a varchar2 column

No different than numbers or dates?
create table tp
( str   varchar2(10) not null
,fill char(20)      not null
partition by range(str)
( partition p1 values less than ('F')
,partition p2 values less than ('L')
,partition p3 values less than ('R')
,partition p4 values less than (maxvalue)
insert into tp
select substr(object_name,1,10), lpad('x',20,'x')
from user_objects
flip@FLOP> select * from tp partition (p2);
STR        FILL
F1         xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
GENERATE_R xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
IPSDEV.US. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxThe link to Tomâs article is fine â¦ it just happens to be one of the few threads heâs not mentioning that partitioning is not the magic fast=true mechanism â¦ look for some other articles on partitioning and youâll quickly discover his views on this subject.
There may be a case for partitioning â¦ but you havenât presented any reasonable justification for it â¦ so, why bother?

What type of Data target is used when the safety interval is used?

Hi ,
what type of Data target is used when the safety interval is used in generic delta in datasource?DSO or cube or cube?
Pls explain me ?
Thanks,
Nimai

It's up to your reporting requirement to go for dso or cube..
I prefer to having staging with DSO and then further reporting on Cube ..
It's always easier to manage when you have any changes to the cube .. you need not to extract data from R/3 .. if you have dso you can extract directly to cube
Another thing is -for any reason some of your records got corrupted so you can have full loads to dso which has the overwrite functionality... and sends delta records to cube. even in cube you can do selective deletion but we have to very careful to avoid double records in next loads

What type of pen do you use to take notes on a notetaking app like enotebook

What type of pen do you use on your ipad for a handwriting app like enotebook?

You want what's called a stylus. There are a huge variety of styli available; just make sure that the one you get works with iPad (pretty much all of them will say they work with iPad on the packaging). I personally just grabbed the cheapest one at Staples, but you can see a bunch of styli here: http://www.theverge.com/2012/4/10/2925937/best-stylus-ipad-review

What type of connection should i use?

Not sure if i should i post this here or web tier api's, but here goes...
I have a servlet in a tomcat webserver and i want it pass information between it and a standard j2se application running on the same machine.
I'm not sure what type of connection i should use?
DataStream?
Socket?
HttpConnection?
Any other recommended method?
Or if i need a network connection like that at all?
Thanks for the help

The most straightforward method would be to use rmi since both are running java. that is the least amount of work on your part in terms of managing connections and data marshalling. any of the other solutions add more burdens in one or both of these areas.

What type of repeater should I use with my new Airport Extreme?

what type of repeater should I use with my new Airport Extreme? Thanks.

If you want to repeat both bands of your dual band AirPort Extreme, another AirPort Extreme would meet these requirements.
If you only need to extend one of the bands that the AriPort Extreme provides, then an Airport Express would do that nicely.

AFAIK, use the USB 3.0 port to the printer. It should be backward compatible. If not, return the useless computer or get a new printer.

What type of DVD should I use for Windows Backup?

I am wanting to do my Windows Backup and I was wondering what type of DVD media I should use. Is it better to use a RW or only R type DVD.
I have an HP Omni 220-1180qd, A5W89AV#ABA, running Win7 64 bit.
I thought I read it can use CD's, DVD's but I want to know which would be the better choice.
Thanks for any help and all help is appreciated.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Honestly, an external hard drive would be a better choice. The difference between +R and +R/W is that +R is "Recordable" and +R/W is "Re-Writable". If you intend on making periodic backups, go with an extrernal hard drive... If you intend on making very few backups, consider the DVD+R discs.

What type of restore should I use?

My computer is properly backed up using Time Machine. I created a partition using Bootcamp so I could install Windows (I haven't actually installed Windows yet). However, after testing Parallels, which is an amazing program!, I want to get rid of the partition and use Parallels instead.
My understanding is that I have to wipe my hard drive to erase the partition. Assuming this is true, what version of restore should I use? I want the computer to be exactly as it is in the backup, except for the partition.

When I go into the Partition tab, the diagram and text shows my HD as having 148.73 gigs of space (it appears in blue on top in the diagram) and "available space" being 49.5 gigs (it appears in white on the bottom).
Once you deleted the Boot Camp partition, you now have only a single partition. The light-blue shading represents the data in the partition; the white are represents the rest ("available space").
Is this how it should be? I clicked on both the blue area and the white area but that doesn't select them. There is no line between them for me to drag. Also, the "-" and "Options" buttons are grayed out.
If there's only one partition on the disk, the whole diagram, containing both the blue shading and white area, covering the entire disk, should be outlined in medium blue. The "-" sign is grayed-out because there's only the one partition. If there were 2 or more, you could use it to delete one.
If you wanted to make a second partition, you would click the plus sign. DU would then change the diagram, splitting the existing partition. Then you'd see a line between the two, which you could drag up or down, etc. The Options button is used when setting-up a new or erased drive "from scratch," to specify the *Partition Map Scheme* for the entire drive.
Browse Disk Utility's help for a general idea of what it can do. (It's one of the few apps that has fairly comprehensive explanations and instructions.)
I should mention that I installed Parallels so I could run Windows and Mac OS simultaneously (it is quite amazing!). Could it be that Parallels creates an unlabeled partition?
I don't do Windoze, but it's my understanding that Parallels makes one huge OSX file that contains the entire Windows system, rather than the way Boot Camp uses a separate partition. I also understand that this huge file is automatically excluded from Time Machine, so it doesn't back the whole thing up every time anything is changed. You can check this via TM Preferences > Options.

Whats types of inputs can be used with DAQ 6527? (PNP or NPN)

I need to know what types of input device (PNP or NPN) can be used with a DAQ 6527.

Greetings,
The digital inputs of the 6527 require TTL signals. As long as your device, whether it be a pnp or npn transistor, outputs a TTL signal, it will be compatible.

What type of generic delta to use and what field?

Dear BW Gurus,
I am creating a generic datasource based on a view BSAK and BSIK (Accounts Payable tables). I am not able to determine what type of generic delta (numeric pointer, calender day or timestamp) should i use and what field in the table should it that be based on? All or any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Raj

CALDAY on field BLDAT (in both tables) seem an obvious candidate.
Added - You will need help from functional people (or you can try it in ABAP forum) to determine which date field is updated with the system date when these tables are updated with SAP txns (some hint can be had by looking at the data)- the fields of interest would be -
BUDAT
BLDAT
CPUDT
It is almost certain that CALDAY is the only option you have for delta type, and one of these three fields will have to be chosen.

What type of collection can I use to store a word and a string as it's valu

I am writing a grammar checking application. What kind of collection can I use to store the word and the type of word as it's value.
e.g.(book = noun) (clean = adjetive) (of = predicate) (took = verb)
or should I use a collection as they type and add the words in each different collection?
you advice is greatly appreciated.
thanks,
steve

class "Contradiction" contains two variables, the String and what Type was assumed
Algorithm:
Parse out next word
Find all possible meanings/types of word
Assume first meaning is true, continue (think [push])
If clause, call clauseParse all over again (think [push])
Return parsed structure when done, (think [pop])
If Contradiction rises to top of sentence, there is a grammer problem. Now switch into grammer correction mode.
If a word can be interpreted two different ways, don't worry about it as long as it's right either way.
To test for similar-sounding words, use something like SoundX
