Where to ask XML-questions

Hello,
when I have a question about XML, where do I ask?
XML DB issues related to XML DB
XML  space for the following subspaces
General XML  Discussion of the general XML language, standards (XSLT, XQuery, XMLSchema, etc.) and application management issues, suggestions and tips.
PL/SQL XML Programming  PL/SQL programming using XDK and related management issues inside Oracle database server. Any question for XML DB functionality, please post your question in Products -> Database-> XML DB.
XQuery Discussion of Oracle XQuery Technology Preview, W3C XQuery specifications, and JSR 225: XQuery API for Java (XQJ) issues
I think I now have an idea (not that I'm sure about it) where my question will fit best. Now, because there is an explanation of the scope of the space, I don't remember something like this in the old forum. Nevertheless it might be confusing for a new member or one that lacks a certain knowledge about the subtleties:
One step forward everyone who understands the explanation for the PL/SQL XML Programming space!
When I have a question about XQuery, how can I decide whether XQuery is correct or General XML?
Which questions qualify for XML DB and not for any of the others.
We all know that many users are not able to see that SQL questions don't belong into the SQL Developer space, how can we expect that they will find the "correct" forum for XML questions? In the end they will end up in the SQL and PL/SQL space anyhow :-)
Regards
Marcus

My $0.02.
As I recall, the explanation for each forum was at the entry level for each forum and not displayed within the forum itself.
The PL/SQL XML Programming space refers to the Oracle XML Developer Kit.  It is maintained by a different team than the XMLDB so the need for a separate space for it makes sense.  That said, what it covers is also part General XML and XQuery if you dig into what you can do in the XDK.
Some questions that would qualify for the XML DB space.
Anything related to schema registration or downstream of schema registration.  Such as querying/performance/indexes/etc.
Issues parsing XML via using XMLTable (or XQuery, such as the new XQuery update added in 11.2.0.3) (Yes that can conflict)
Storage of data in XMLType columns
I to have always been a bit unclear on the exact division between groups in this XML space.  I see the XQuery space as being a subset of the General XML space.  I watch all three forums, as they are normally low volume and you never know where a question will pop up.  As you have seen, questions often end up in the wrong forum and often General XML gets an influx of questions that should go into the Business Intelligence space as well.  There is no good way right now to start a generic post and let the system suggest forums that the post could go into, based on content or software involved.  That would be a nice touch for the future.

  • Audio - streaming I have a problem and don't know where to ask the question

    I have a MacBook pro, I also have a presonus 16.4.2 FireWire mixing consule.  My band is going to play a online show that will stream through ustream.tv .  When I am connected to the mixer via FireWire the board is recieving audio and on ustreams web ap it shows a place where I can select the presonus for audio but when I select it it does not show any audio input.  Does anyone know how to make it work so I can use the sound coming from the mixer as the sound being broadcast for the stream?  I've never tried using the 8th inch audio input on the Mac but do you think taking two mono quarter inches from the main of the mixer into a stereo 8th inch would work?  Any help is appreciated, the show is this Thursday and I'd like to make it sound as good as possible and avoid having to use the internal microphone.  Or if any of you know a better forum to ask this question please direct me.
    Thanks,
    Aaron

    This will work to get the audio into the console, go to system preferences and set input to line and use the slider for level control.
    If you go to the Apple site, support and search "streaming audio" there is a number of articles that might help.
    Also, if you search" audio streaming firewire"
    Too much to list here.

  • Where to ask conversion question

    I want to ask a question about PAL to NTSC conversion. What's the right forum for that? Is there one? Should I ask here?,
    Ross

    My recommendation -
    Using MPEG Streamclip, convert the PAL DVD to QuickTime/Apple DV PAL.
    In FCE, change your Easy Setup to DV PAL; create a new sequence; import the QuickTime/Apple DV PAL file you exported from MPEG Streamclip.  Do your editing (if any).  Export to QuickTime Movie. Non-self contained is fine.
    In iDVD, set your Projects > Video Mode preference to NTSC, with encoding =  High Quality or Professional Quality.  Import the QT Movie that you exported from FCE.  Create whatever menus you want.  Burn your DVD.  You will get an NTSC DVD that will play just fine in most USA DVD players.  I have done this and think the resulting quality is pretty good.
    iDVD has the capability to convert PAL>NTSC and NTSC>PAL.  I have experimented with this and think the quality is quite good.
    There are more complex ways to convert between PAL and NTSC.  JES Deinterlacer has the capability but I think other methods produce better results.  The iDVD method is basically free.  The only better alternative that I have experience with is Graeme Nattress' Standards Conversion, which works really well but it costs $100 and because it was designed for FCPro, it requires some workarounds to use in FCE.

  • Where is help link on 'How to ask a question' ?

    Using Thunderbird.
    Tried to see where the Help > Help contents link opens.
    Unfortunately, it does not open on the expected webpage with the immediate help link on 'How to ask a question'.
    the link would then take the user to getsatisfaction/mozilla_messaging website.
    I use the link to instruct Thunderbird users on what to include when asking a question.
    Where is the page that contains this vital information?

    Sorry Diego.
    Initially, i was just trying to see what on earth was going on with this website, as it was not behaving as expected.
    Obviously, it has been significantly updated.
    So I possed a question to see if I would be redirected to the getsatisfaction/mozilla_messaging website.
    Obviously no.
    Then I discovered that it is impossible to retract /delete an asked question.
    Not helpful, I can only edit the question, so I have edited the question.
    If you know the link where I can tell people to read when they want to know what details need to be included, then I would be most grateful.
    The information will tell people what to include when answering a question:
    this was the link:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/new/thunderbird#w_how-to-ask-your-question
    there is no information on that page with regard to ' how to ask your question' so where has it gone?
    It instructes precisely what to include

  • Where to ask question re: Apogee GiO?

    I see 14 questions under the GIO entry, but no place to ask a question. In the main index to topics there are plenty of areas to ask Logic/GarageBand, (etc) questions. But the questions that appear, now, on the GIO page are not listed back in the forums, anywhere.
    So, where can I ask a question on the GIO? Thanks!

    But the questions that appear, now, on the GIO page
    What is the url of that page?
    You can always ask in the forum that corresponds to the Apple software you are using.
    Is the GIO support page relevant?

  • Where are LE-WM questions supposed to be asked?

    Hi,
    Where are warehouse management questions supposed to be asked? It's very difficult to identify an appropriate forum.
    Thanks in advance for any help you could provide.
    Best Regards,
    Brett

    Logistic Execution and Warehouse Management falls under SCM.  There is a SAP ERP Manufacturing - Production Planning (SAP PP).
    If in doubt you can always do a generic search in the forums using the acronyms or keywords and then trace that back to the forum category.

  • Is this now where to ask DVD Studio Pro questions?  If not, please let me know where.  Here's my question:  Using DVD Studio Pro 3, when trying to burn a disc which is 4.5GB, I get error message "Not eough disk space in target folder".  What to do?

    Is this now where to ask DVD Studio Pro questions?  If not, please let me know where.  Here's my question:  Using DVD Studio Pro 3, when trying to burn a disc which is 4.5GB, I get error message "Not eough disk space in target folder".  What to do?

    Thanks.  Unfortunately, I need to make a master DVD that can then be duplicated in bulk as a single layer disc.  This surprises me because I tried burning a different DVD project that has worked in the past which is also 4.5 GB and now I could not burn that either.  I also reencoded some material to get the new project down to 4.4 GB but it still would not burn.  Any ideas are appreciated.

  • Hi everyone, not sure if this is the right forum to ask this question, however any redirect is appreciated. Where can I get the download for the latest old mozilla browser. The one with the dinosaur icon before the browser turned firefox. Thanks, Jen

    Hi everyone
    Not sure if this is the right forum to ask this question, however any redirect is appreciated. Where can I get the download for the latest old mozilla browser. The one with the dinosaur icon before the browser turned firefox. Thanks, Jen

    Phoenix and Firebird were what Firefox was called before Firefox was settled on in 2004, and both used "birds" as the logo. IIRC, the dinosaur was used in the Mozilla Suite.
    Here are the earliest versions of the Mozilla Suite. <br />
    http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/releases/
    I hope this request for a historical purposes of where Mozilla came from, because those old versions aren't safe to use on the internet any longer.

  • HT4623 I started the iOs 7 update in my mini iPad yesterday and it froze the screen at the area "Create a Password" at the Apple ID Security area where it asked to add a security question.  It just stopped and I can't go anywhere else.  What's up with tha

    I started to do the latest update to iOS7 in my iPad mini and it froze the screen at the area Apple ID security where it asks for "Add Security Question".  I press the next icon, and nothing happens.  The screen is frozen there and I can't get out.  I can go no further forward nor can I be back.  It's just stuck.  This has rendered my mini iPad useless.  What can I do?

    That's exactly what Time Machine does for you.  It backs up every hour, so you don't have to.  While it is backing up, you keep on working.  Time Macvhine came with your Mac and you chose not to use it.
    The 10.7.4 update did not cause your hard disk to fail.  Hard disk fail due to mechanical causes.  They are extremely reliable, but that doesn't mean every hard disk will last a long time.  Your mileage WILL vary!
    If you are dependent on your computer and the data stored on it, then you should make sure you have AT LEAST two copies of all data and probably three or four.  You should use at least two means of backing up in case the backup software has a problem.  And you should consider having a backup computer if you live in an area where replacement takes too long (whatever too long is for your business).
    Apple hardware and software is very, very good.  You have documented your experience of this.  But NO hardware or software is perfect.  You also have experience of this.
    It is YOUR responsibility to ensure that your system is set up to protect your data and availability of computing resources.

  • Where do I ask a question about frequent blue screen crashes?

    My Windows 7 32bit PC frequently crashes (blue or black screen, approx 3 times per day).  Last time it happened I checked the Event Viewer and there were 10 error events, ID 7010, 3058, 3028, 3029, 9002, 7042, 7040, 9000 and 455.  I don't know
    what any of that means but could this be the cause of the crashes?  And can it be rectified?

    Hi,
    I suggest asking your question over here (Participate -> Ask a Question):
    Windows forums on Microsoft Answers
    Good luck, hope it works out for you.

  • How to effectively ask a question on this forum

    Ok, so this'll take a little explaining. I was kinda bored over my lunch break, so i decided I'd write a general reference for how to post well on this forum. I realize that many people aren't gonna read this the first time they post, but i thought it would be a good thing to reference when replying to people who post a poor question.
    _10 Ways to Post a Good Question on this Forum_
    _1) Write a descriptive subject line_
    This is the first thing that people see, and it influences how they read a question. Subjects like "Java error" tell people nothing about your problem. Subjects like "How to implement a SAX parser for use in multiple classes" are infinitely more useful.
    _2) Don't use phrases such as URGENT or HELP ME!!! or IT'S DUE IN AN HOUR!!!!_
    The people on this forum don't have the same priorities as you, and therefore don't care if your problem is urgent. In fact, they find it rude to assert that your problem should be solved before somebody else's just because you procrastinated. They also don't pleas for help too fondly. Typically posters who write this sort of phrase in their post has given up and become helpless, making it very difficult to guide them to the answer. Also, keep the caps lock off. THERE IS NOTHING MORE ANNOYING THAN ALL-CAPS POSTS. IT SEEMS LIKE YOU ARE YELLING, and people will make you aware of how it annoys them.
    _3) Dont post your homework assignments asking for "teh codez"_
    You will get flamed like none other for this sort of question. You may get codes, but when you submit them to your instructor, you may get suspended or expelled (depending on your school's cheating policy). The people on this forum are more advanced than you in Java, and can make it painfully obvious to your instructor that you cheated.
    _4) Write in normal English_
    Think of this forum as your supervisor or instructor, you want to sound professional and convey your question effectively. SMS speak or any other sort of abbreviation of the English language becomes difficult to read, and many people on this forum won't even try. This forum is filled with professionals in the Java world, and they are accustomed to reading true English (full sentences).
    _5) Don't be helpless_
    This forum is here mainly to help with specific problems, not to teach you Java. If you don't know where to start, a person is most likely going to tell you to write the solution out on paper first, breaking it down into small steps that can be accomplished by the computer.
    _6) Do your research_
    Many of the questions posted can be solved with a quick Google search. You should check a few places before you even post a question. They include: this forum (do a forum search), Google (do a Google search), the API's (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/), and the Java Tutorials(http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/)
    _7) Post code and errors with your question_
    The answer to your problem is in the error messages and the code. Instead of asking a general question about for loops, post the code that you have written and the error info that you get. When asking a question it is IMPERATIVE that you have tried to do it your own way, because the people on the forum mostly won't do it for you, they'll only point out where you have done it wrong and try to help you fix it. Don't paraphrase your error messages, because there are subtleties in the actual messages that you may unknowingly edit out.
    _8) Don't Multi-post_
    It is rude to post the same question multiple times or in multiple places in the this forum. This is for the same reason as #2, it makes it seem that you think your problem is more urgent or important than others' problems.
    _9) Don't resurrect dead threads_
    If a thread is 3 years old, nobody is going to remember it, so make a new thread to ask your question. If you have a question about something in the old thread, reference it through a hyperlink.
    _10) Take it easy_
    As long as the people in the forum see that you're legitimately trying to help yourself, they'll help you as much as they see fit. The biggest problem that newbies have is they rely on the forum to spoonfeed them the info, and it's not going to happen. They'll either get flamed or ignored. The people on the forum aren't trying to find "fresh meat to flame", they legitimately want to help you, and they'll typically give you fair warning if you're doing something annoying or unorthodox.

    There does seem to be a way to sticky posts, but I think only mods and admins have the power to do it. There's one over on the Generics forum : http://forum.java.sun.com/forum.jspa?forumID=316
    I've been trying to add a pseudo-signature to my posts as far as possible, with a link to a page which pretty much covers this stuff, only it's on JavaRanch:
    People on the forum help others voluntarily, it's not their job.
    Help them help you.
    Learn how to ask questions first: http://faq.javaranch.com/java/HowToAskQuestionsOnJavaRanch
    But I've had a couple of occasions where the OPs thought it was directed at them and they got a tad upset :)
    And without hyperlinks, I'm not quite sure how many people actually take the pains to go to that page.
    Ah well, no one can say I didn't try.

  • Ask your question.APPLE WEB SITE IS SLOW

    I'm on apple support page,I ask a question,10sec later the page comes up. I click on a question and 5 sec later the tiny circular spins letting me know it's looking for the page and then 5 sec later the page opens. Anything and every thing I do the apple web site takes about 10sec or longer every time I click go.
    A lot of times if I click twice and some times just once I get a pop up telling me Apple is not responding. 
    I thought it was verizon service but I just got charter and it's the same way. Any Ideas?? 
    I just went down this page to find out where the best place on apple is to put my question and I clicked the box WiFi and 5 sec later the check mark showed up.

    I actualy had Verizon shut off and removed there security from my p/c and I'm in awe. My p/c is fast and I no longer have trouble with turning pages. I was wrong about charter.com it's who I have now and I'm not haveing trouble with slow int and clicking on the next web page is fast.
    At first it was the same thing w/charter but I still had verizon. I wanted to see if charter was better before I got rid of Verizon but I got speed only after I called Verizon and had them shut me off and then I got rid of there security. 
    I HOPE THIS HELPS.
