Which is the best decode or case

Hi,
When you check performance wise which is the best one decode or case?
Thanks,

> You mean CPU processor speed or oracle buffer(SGA).
Neither. CPU architecture. RISC vs CISC vs ..
On a PA-RISC1 CPU a DECODE is just a tad faster than a CASE. On an AMD64 CPU, the reverse is true.
> When I increase memory, The case and decode performance will increase?
No. A CASE and a DECODE does not need memory to work faster. It is a set of machine code instructions that needs to compare values to determine a result. It depends on just how fast the CPU can execute this set of machine code instructions.
A faster CPU will make a very significant difference. An AMD64 Opteron CPU is a couple of times faster than a PA-RISC1 CPU.
I had this exact same conversation back in 2006 on this forum - and posted [url
http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=1346165&#1346165]this benchmark to show that the decision of using CASE or DECODE is not a decision that should be based on raw performance.

  • Filter or Restrict on? Which is the best way to put it?

    Hello Experts,
    If there is a Characteristic/Key figure on a report in BEx, and I right click on it and find another data element say, 0FISPER it I EDIT. On right click on 0FISPER I a variable.
    My question is this, do we way that the key figure is RESTRICTED ON 0FISPER
    or, key figure is FILTERED by 0FISPER
    When do we use Filter or Restrict on? Which is the best way to put it? How best is it read, please include the variable in your discussion.
    I will appreciate this clarification.
    e.g. Company code EDIT shows Company codes ZPPTcomp: with nodes  8000, 9000
    Thanks.

    Hi Amanda,
    as per my understanding,
    you are checking the structure field, you have selected edit then you are viewing a key figure and 0fiscper restricted by varaible. am I right?
    if this is the case this is local selection and the key figure is restricted by fiscper variable means the restriction value user can enter in selection screen. if you select 0fiscper and select restrict there you can see single values, value range and you can also see varaible tab. by using varaible tab you can restrict to variable value.
    hope this gives you some understanding.

    Repartition and format the drive for a Mac:
    Drive Preparation
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

  • Which is the best software to convert dvd to IPad 2d

    Which is the best software to convert dvd to IPad 2d

    unfortunately discussing the breaking of the encryption that comes with commercial dvd's is prohibited in these forums. however a quick google search will get you to quite a few software providers....
    on a personal note, i don't agree with the fact that we can't "legally" transfer dvd's because breaking the encryption is considered illegal, even though the "fair use act" has said that copying dvd's for personal use or for backup purposed is considered legal. it's just the software to do that isn't. i'm not one who would rip a dvd then make multiple copies to make a financial gain. i just want to be able to convert my "old" media into a format that meets my current needs.
    good luck my friend on your search. i really wish i could help you more

  • Avast, clamXAV and MacScan - which is the best of these OSX AV scanners?

    Avast, clamXAV and MacScan - which is the best of these OSX anti-virus scanners?
    Does anyone have experience of all three?

    Ermmm. I think you'll not find anyone here that's got experience of one, let alone all three.
    My thoughts on anti-virus for the Mac, is that it can be more hassle than it is worth, given the nature of OSX. Don't get me wrong, it's not like I think the OS is invulnerable, but other than the one lone mock video codec trojan that was out a few years ago, there really isn't much of a need for anti-virus.
    Yet.
    The best web security right now for general browsing is Firefox with NoScript and AdBlock Plus and have it set to delete the cache and cookies after each session.
    Beyond that, the commonest things vexing Mac OS right now, are 'social engineered' trojans or virii, that the user installs themselves.
    If you stick to legitimate download sites, (c-net, versiontracker) you will be fine.

    i don't have any experience with DLNA TV's but i recently moved my iTunes library to a NAS. streaming content to airport express remote speakers and TV2 works great. however, i have all my gear hardwired to my time capsule (except the airport express) so i'm not sure how well streaming e.g. HD movies to TV over wifi works.
    i have a Synology DiskStation 411j and am very happy with it.

  • I want to play AVCHD videos in ipad from my JVC camcorder.which is the best tool for converting the avchd videos to formats that ipad can play?

    I have a JVC HD camcorder that creates videos in AVCHD format that ipad cannot play. Which is the best tool to convert these avchd videos to the format ipad can play?

    Airplay is a wireless streaming protocol. It allows content to be pushed from the iPad through the Apple TV onto your connected HDTV.
    If she wants to see the iPad displayed on the big screen and/or play games that involves mirroring. As long as it's an iPad 2 (or later) then you will be fine. More info on both has been referened below

  • Which is the best operating system to update my MacBook Air?

    I've just invested in a brand new MacBook Air, and I'm wanting to get the best out of it, so is it worth updating my OS? and if so which is the best to buy? Thanks

    Apple products always come with the latest. Just set up yopur system, and the run software updates to get any late changes from Apple. iLife 2011 is also included with your MBA. If the question you are actually asking has to do with other software versus OS, that is a much bigger question, and would be dependent on what you intend to do with the system.
    On January 6th, the Mac App Store will go live, and make it very easy to find and load software.

  • Which is the best antivirus and spyware for Mac?

    Good morning,
    Because of schoolwork and extracurricular activities, I am constantly sending and receiving e-mails and messages to and from PCs and other Apple devices, like IPads. Two years ago I purchased a 120,12GB MacBook Air and, until a few months ago, it went perfectly well.
    I am not sure what happened, but lately, every time I go online, whatever I click -whether it is a random letter in a website, or a blank space in a page, anything- an advert appears or a new -unwanted- tab opens with publicity and such, the kind of additional tabs that open when you are watching movies online in a random website, but this time, it is happening with every website (even the Apple site) and almost constantly. I suspect it is something I downloaded or maybe something I received from an infected PC that I got a virus or problem from.
    I tried using the MacKeeper software, but it is not working for me (?). Also I tried blocking pop-ups (I use Google Chrome), Java Script, automatic downloads, complements and everything I could when going online, but it has not gotten better over the last 9 months. My parents also recommended me a very good technician, who I personally know and has solved many of my previous problems, but he could not help me, in this situation.
    For that reason, I have been considering either purchasing a good antivirus for my Mac or a new Mac and an antivirus for it, to prevent future problems like this one.
    Either way, the question is the same,
    Which is the best antivirus and spyware software for Mac?
    Thank you so much for your attention.

    Please get rid of MacKeeper, as it and most other such junk software will do more harm than good.

  • Which is the best DVD RW?

    Hello,
    I am planning of buying a dvd rw and I don't know which is the best right now. I am planning of spending about 100 - 150 dollars. I am going to place the Dvd Rw into an ide that supports Ultra DMA mode 1 so I don't actually want the best one, I just want one thats going to get my job done. Can anyone give me any clues about what is the best option for me? Can you please give me any details?
    Thanks,
    PhanosP

    Hi PhanosP
    1) ""First I am concerned about the ability of any DVD drive to play all the regions. Is this drive able to play both region 1 and region 2 or it has to be patch.""
    As far as I know, all drives manufactured over the last couple of years use region settings.
    The free software program DVD Genie may fix this, so you can play DVD's from another region. For this and other progs, please see http://www.doom9.org/   There you may find loyes of info on this topic and anything you mighty want to know about burning DVD's
    Please also read other topics in this forum like:
    "" RegionfreeDR4-A"" or
    "" MSI DR4-A Region locked""
    If you want the region setting removed entirely from your drive, indeed you will need a patch (probably a patched firmware update). I myself don't know where you might find this, so you might need to browse the internet. (Maybe  also somewhere on the http://www.doom9.org/  site. Or perhaps another forum visitor may know the answer. I myself did not bother searching yet, as I never encountered problems reading DVD's sofar.
    Furthermore: Also some (freeware) programs (like DVDdecrypter) used for decrypting DVD's >You need them if you want to rip/ copy copyrightprotected DVD's
    2)
    ""Secondly the reviews are almost 3 moths old. Aren't any newer reviews with some newer drives like the one you are using.
    You'll have to browse the internet to find newer reviews. Unfortunately not much reviews are as good as the ones on Tom's site. Because Tom's cover so many products and produce so many articles, they only make reviews of DVD burners from time to time. I did not see a good review of recent drives yet. If you find one, please tell me! I'm also very curious about the review on my MSI DR4-A drive, as it pleases me okay.
    Good luck !
