What would you recommend me to do in Oracle Form Builder as a beginnner?

I am a beginner in Oracle Form Builder and can anyone recommend a list of tasks/assignments I could try as I barely any projects at work currently ?
I have been able to query items in a database(table) by creating a control/dummy block. What list of tasks would you suggest me to do next ? Any complex type of forms I could try ?
Thanks.

If you have created a dummy/control block, I would recommend that you create a new block based on a database table. Use the block wizard.
Then a further block based on a table that is a "child" or "detail" table for the one you just created. use the block wizard.
Then create a list of values (using the LOV Wizard) to populate one or more of the fields in your block - preferably using a SQL statement to get the contents of the LOV.
You could then try creating a calculated item to add up values in one of your blocks.
Then try creating a "when validate item" trigger on one of your items to try to enforce some validation rules. Display any error messages using an Alerti (don't bother with the "message" function in Forms - it's rubbish).
That should be enough to be going on with.
Good luck.

  • I have a great number of Hi8 video tapes and I would like to burn them onto CDs through MacBook Pro (ME665LL/A), but I do not know how to transfer those footage into Mac. What would you recommend?

    Hello everybody! My question is; my parents and I have a great number of video tapes (Hi8 and mini DV) and since I purchased a MacBook Pro (ME665LL/A) I would like to burn them onto CDs, but I do not know how to transfer those footage into Mac. What would you recommend(it can be a software, a hardware or combination of both)? By the way, I also purchased an external DVD-RW(Asus SDRW-08D2S) separately.

    Just Google "convert hi8 to dvd" and you'll find a number of software/hardware combinations that will allow you to do what you want. One important piece of the puzzle is whether or not you still have access to the video recorder(s) that the movies were shot on.
    Good luck,

  • Question:  Do I need to run and anti virus program with MAC OSX Lion? Have heard different opinions! If so what would you recommend? Was looking at Sophos. Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks

    Do I need to run and anti virus program with MAC OSX Lion? Have heard different opinions!
    You will continue to hear different opinions here, where thoughts range everywhere between "anti-virus software is the evil spawn of Satan" to "anyone not running anti-virus software is a fool."
    Truth is, this is still a very personal decision on a Mac. Depending on circumstances, it is still very easily possible to stay safe without using anti-virus software, but circumstances and personal preferences vary widely. Besides which, anti-virus software cannot even remotely provide you a guarantee of protection!
    To learn how to stay safe (with or without anti-virus software), and how to decide whether to use anti-virus software, see my Mac Malware Guide.

  • IMac needs to be repaired - what would you recommend ?

    Ive need to take my 10 Month old iMac into the Apple shop where I bought it from for a repair , ( screen problem ) Ive never had to take my Mac in for repair before so I really don't know what to do in the way of '' preparing '' it to be looked at by the technicians , I really would not like some one to play around with say my photo collection, Etc ( I have a full system backup on an external HDD ) , what would recommend I do to '' prepare '' the iMac ?

    Hi Graham, yes I am up here in the land of the Red dust , where a Mac is thought of as a beef burger , Leopard is a big cat, and mounting is some thing else.
    I think I know exactly where you are.
    +Its good to hear that the Maccenter is reliable , a phrase not commonly used in the Thai language+ ,
    The build up that has occurred with Apple here over the last couple of years has been fairly good and the way the iStudio/iBeat franchises are run is pretty good in the main. Maccenter has been the responsible agent for warranty work for a number of years: they do not repair, but test and replace.
    +but I assure you I will have my fingers firmly crossed and of course an old rolled up copy of the Bangkok Post on stand by to firmly thump the iBeat managers desk , should It become necessary.+
    Well, you will know how shouting here is best accomplished only at the really correct time. And as for the Post, open it (or at least the Database section). <g>

  • How much info about the cache-cluster does the client have and What would you recommend about putting the cluster behind virtual ip

    Hi,
    I will appreciate if someone can point me to some documentation as to how app-fabric client library accesses the app-fabric cluster.
    What I have found so far is that the list of hosts provided in the client configuration are used as an entry point into the Cache-Cluster. By connecting to one of hosts, the client will download information about all the hosts constituting the cluster.
    Since a named cache is distributed across the entire cluster, and the data can be stored on any node. How does the client decide which node it should connect to, to get the data from. Does the client have enough information to know which host has the data
    or the client will connect to one of the nodes, if the node has data, it will serve it otherwise redirect the client to the node that has the data.
    I also would like to know what do you say about the idea that we would like to put our cache-cluster behind a virtual ip, so that if needed, we can take down nodes or add more nodes. In fact the virtual ip will that of a load balancer, but we don't plan to
    use it for load balancing purposes but the idea is that the client will have the virtual ip address and we can repoint this IP address, if we need to take out a node for maintenance reason. 

    I'm not sure about the reason for putting the cache servers in a VIP, but one of the reasons why the cache servers should be made known to the servers is because of auto load balancing and throughput
    Imagine i have 10 cache servers running on 1G ethernet links, theoretically i have 10G usable bandwidth and the clients will be able to manage and load balance if any of the cache server fails or have performance issues
    Now if all these were parked behind a VIP
    1. The LB now does the load balancing, which may not be optimal
    2. The LB may not have 10G upstream and 10G downstream, even if it has, this is quite a waste of resource\

  • What would you recommend for this setup?

    I just recently found Arch, and I love it so much I want to use it more.
    I have been working on converting my media center pc's to Linux, and want some advice before moving forward. Here is what I have:
    Living room  (Main Media Center, 6 TB of storage, PS3)
    Bedroom 1 (Media Center, Wii)
    Bedroom 2 (Media Center, Xbox 360)
    Bedroom 3 (Media Center)
    Kitchen (Media Center)
    I don't think the gaming systems matter, but wanted you to have the full picture.
    What I would like to do is have a setup where the Living Room Media Center could be a media server for the other rooms, and also handle media for the TV it is connected to. Most of the movies we have are of two different formats:
    VIDEO_TS folders for standard dvd's
    MKV for HD movies
    Is this type of setup possible with Arch, or should I use a Distro like XBMC completely?

    I've been using several DLNA-servers on Arch for two years now. I started out with coherence (lacks transcoding support), fuppes (lacked surround sound support), mediatomb (no srt subtitles AND surround sound together), and now I'm using pms(-svn) that does all I've ever needed.
    1 small problem: since an update several weeks ago, libmediainfo is not working together anymore with pms: pms crashes on indexing with libmediainfo and sometimes on playing a movie file. On the PMS forums, there is one other user complaining about the same problem, but that's about it.
    That's why I recently installed minidlna and I'm very impressed by this little program, but it doesn't play MKV or FLAC iirc. For now I've settled on PMS without libmediainfo, which means from time to time, a movie isn't played in 5.1 (whenever a movie file has two audio streams, the first one is played instead of choosing the 6 channel audio as default).
    Anyway: I'd recommend a dlna-server on arch anytime. The protocol is getting more and more support - even TV's are sold with good dlna-support out of the box... If all goes well, my new house will be ready next summer and it will be dlna-powered all the way.

  • Web page video - what file type would you recommend?

    I've stood up a web page for selling things (house, musical instrument, chipper-shredder, rent an apartment, etc.) and would like to have a few videos included. The plan is to save the video on the server and not use hyperlinks to places like vimeo and youtube. For one thing, vimeo doesn't allow a basic member to use their site for selling things.
    A. Screen view size: I would like something, say, 2.5 to 3 inches high X whatever width the proportion would be (4:5 or 16:9), minimum.
    B. Resolution: Most of what I've recorded is in 1440CBR but reducing the quality to keep the file size small is VERY important. I'm not looking for Full Hi-Def, just something that gets the message across.
    C. It is very desirable for the visitor to be able to start viewing the video as soon after clicking on the hyperlink as possible. If they have to wait for a few MegaBytes to be downloaded they probably won't stick around. Also, there will be no advertising on my web page which should be nice.
    D. The file format should be viewable by both Macs and PCs. Questions:
    1. Is *.mp4 H.264 the most universal format?
    2. Should I "Share" to a QuickTime format and assume the PC users will have QuickTime on their machine?
    3. FCPx uses the "Share" menu in order to Export. What would you recommend for a Share setting (file type) so it will do what I would like to do?
    Is there anything I left out that would be good to know???
    Editorial comment: This has been a total struggle.
    My resources:
    FCPX 10.0.3 (have not updated yet. Waiting until the dust settles)
    MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 5,1 2.53 8GB memory Lion
    MacPro 1,1 Lion
    Passport drive: 1TB for video storage
    MacBook White 1,1 (for email and Internet surfing) 10.6.8

    Hi again,
    I'm happy with the Audioengine 5 which I have on the computer desk about 2' ~ 3'
    away so I'd call them 'near field'. You should have a shelf on your desk so the speakers are roughly at your head height.  I'm also using a 12" Velodyne powered sub in this set-up which sits on the floor to my right.
    here are some 'home' studio designs:

  • What kind of camcorder would you recommend for FCE HD 3.5?

    Hello everyone,
    I'm very new here and have been trying to search for the answer to my question without having to bug anyone, but now I am under the gun, as it were.
    I need to purchase something within a week and a half and would truly appreciate suggestions from anyone here. Here are a list of my questions and I hope you all will be kind of enough to help me. Thank you in advance.
    1- I would prefer a camcorder that records to a DVD, but if tape is way better, please let me know.
    2- I see that FCE does not support AVCHD. What other pitfalls are there to avoid in purchasing a camcorder that is compatible with FCE HD?
    3- My dream is to have a camcorder that can record in 24p, but can't seem to determine whether FCE HD can support it. Please help!
    4- Am willing to pay more for CCD sensor range - is this helping?
    5-Would like to shoot in 16:9 ratio and with lines of resolution of 720 and higher, this possible with FCE?
    5- With the questions above...what camcorder would you recommend?
    I know some of the camcorders that have these features are ranging from $900 to over $1,000 but would consider it a good investment for things I would like to do in the future.
    I hope the information I've given is enough for you all to give your suggestions. Thank you again.

    They are not bad - just unsuitable for FCE and all good editing programs.
    There are several totally different kinds of Digital Video - many people mistakenly think all "digital" is the same.
    DVD, Flash Memory or Hard Disk camcorders produce video in a version of the MPEG format.
    FCE etc. only handles video in the DV or QT format which is totally different from MPEG.
    One analogy would be to buy a diesel powered car and then find that all the filling stations in your area only had petrol (gasolene) pumps. Your car would be pretty useless !
    The only way MPEG can be used in FCE is by converting it to DV or QT which wastes time or money and results in slightly reduced quality.
    All these cameras are produced for the mass market (where the money is), to be used by people with no knowledge or interest in film-making or editing.

  • What bluetooth headset would you recommend ?

    Hi,
    I currently own a Jabra BT8040 but want to change it with one of the following Nokia headset:
    BH-902
    BH-602
    BH-703
    BH-803
    However I don't really know which one to choose. For the last hours I've been reading a number of reviews on the web as well as some discussion on this Nokia forum.
    It is my understanding that the BH-703 is the newest one in the above list.
    Although I spend a lot of time on the phone, 8 hours of talk time is more than acceptable for me.
    However I need a good sound because sometimes I'm calling from my car, and most of the time I have business calls in the office, where I have other colleagues also on the phone (open office), hence I do not want to be to much limited with a volume limitation on the headset.
    I like the BH-902 because we don't need to take the phone to look at who is calling us, this is really great, however I don't know how confortable it is for confcalls running 1 hour.
    The BH-602 has the highest autonomy however it seems to be the oldest one. I I don't need 11 hours of talk time.
    From your experience, which one would you recommend for business usage ?
    Thanks a lot in advance
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi,
    I think my pick would the Nokia BH-902 headset. It has a nice set of features including - close-fitting control with the in-the-ear plug and optional ear hook - as stated on the product page.
    But still the decision to be made is yours.
    Hope this helps
    Kind regards

  • What case/cover would you recommend?

    Hi,
    I've been looking into iphone case covers like the ones advertised in iskin.com and case-mate.com . Those two are advertised in the Macworld magazine. These are the slip covers that the iphone "wears" around its sides for added protection etc.
    Does anyone have any hands-on experience with any of these already? Or would you recommend another, completely different brand?
    I have an 8gb Iphone if that makes any difference.
    Many Thanks for any suggestions,...Frank B.

    I ordered the iskin revo case last week when it first went on sale. It just arrived today and I am very impressed. This is the 4th case I tried and I think the revo is nearly perfect. The silicon is of very high quality and adds some much needed grip to the iphone as well as some more shock and impact protection. I don't know about the plastic screen shield it comes with, it is supposed to stay on and then you take it off and it clings to the back while you are using the iphone, I probably won't use it. Another thing I really like is that it covers all the ports, some people mentioned it looked like it covers the headphone port totally. Well this is true, but the piece over it peals right back giving you instant access and it is still covered when not in use in your pocket, I was starting to notice a lot of dust build up in there but now it is covered so that is nice. It also comes with a dock cover that isn't attached but I will probably use also.
    If you want a nice case I say this is the best, I got another silicone case that was cheap feeling and didn't fit very tightly. The revo fits tight and feels great, and it won't be covered in dust, it also still allows the light and proxy sensors to work while in the case. Only draw back is that if you want to use the dock you have to remove the case, but I don't see that as much of a negative. It is worth the price.

  • What would you replace an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (256MB) with?

    Hi,
    I started a thread before asking whether I could replace a 256MB card with a 128MB card, even though the interface was a different shape.
    But, as I know so little about Macs and graphics card, it seems wiser to ask
    What would you replace an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (256MB) with?
    The computer is user for photo editing and normal internet/email use.  The photo editing is done on Adobe Photoshop for professional treatment of photographs.
    The computer is a Power Mac G5 (1.6GHz) and budge is £80 / $120.
    Thanks in advance, Franc.

    Hi-
    Please check my recommendations in your other thread.
    Better options for the 9800 Pro are the Radeon 9800 XT, Geforce 6800 GT, Geforce 6800 Ultra, or if one has the money or finds a good deal, a Radeon X800 XT.
    For your budget and uses, the Geforce cards are a performance value buy.
    BTW, I have owned all of the cards, used all of the cards, and tested all of the cards.
    Graphics Cards- ATI and Nvidia
    See my testing pages starting here:
