  • Adding a clustered index to a SQL table: what dangers exist for a live production system?

    - by MoSlo
    Right, keep in mind i need to describe this by abstracting all possible confidential info: I've been put in charge of a 10-year old transactional system of which the majority business logic is implemented at database level (triggers, stored procedures etc). Win2000 server, MSSQL 2000 Enterprise. No immediate plans for replacing/updating the system are being considered :( The core process is a program that executes transactions - specifically, it executes a stored procedure with various parameters, lets call it sp_ProcessTrans. The program executes the stored procedure at asynchronous intervals. By itself, things work fine. But there are 30 instances of this program on remotely located workstations, all of them asynchronously executing sp_ProcessTrans and then retrieving data from the SQL server (execution is pretty regular - ranging 0 to 60 times a minute, depending on what items the program instance is responsible for) . Performance of the system has dropped considerably with 10 yrs of data growth: the reason is the deadlocks and specifically deadlock wait times. The deadlock is on the Employee table. I have discovered: In sp_ProcessTrans' execution, it selects from an Employee table 7 times (dont ask) The select is done on a field that is NOT the primary key No index exists on this field. Thus a table scan is performed. 7 times. per transaction So the reason for deadlocks is clear. I created a non-unique ordered clustered index on the field (field looks good, almost unique, NUM(7), very rarely changes). Immediate improvement in the test environment. The problem is that i cannot simulate the deadlocks in a test environment (I'd need 30 workstations; i'd need to simulate 'realistic' activity on those stations, so visualization is out). I need to know if i must schedule downtime. Creating an index shouldn't be a risky operation for MSSQL, but is there any danger (data corruption in transactions/select statements/extra wait time etc) to create this field index on the production database while the transactions are still taking place? (although i can select a time when transactions are fairly quiet through the 30 stations) Are there any hidden dangers i'm not seeing (not looking forward to needing to restore the DB if something goes wrong, restoring would take a lot of time with 10yrs of data).

  • Device drivers and Windows

    - by b-gen-jack-o-neill
    Hi, I am trying to complete the picture of how the PC and the OS interacts together. And I am at point, where I am little out of guess when it comes to device drivers. Please, don´t write things like its too complicated, or you don´t need to know when using high programming laguage and winapi functions. I want to know, it´s for study purposes. So, the very basic structure of how OS and PC (by PC I mean of course HW) is how I see it is that all other than direct CPU commands, which can CPU do on itself (arithmetic operation, its registers access and memory access) must pass thru OS. Mainly becouse from ring level 3 you cannot use in and out intructions which are used for acesing other HW. I know that there is MMIO,but it must be set by port comunication first. It was not like this all the time. Even I am bit young to remember MSDOS, I know you could access HW directly, becouse there ws no limitation, no ring mode. So you could to write string to diplay use wheather DOS function, or directly acess video card memory and write it by yourself. But as OS developed, there is no longer this possibility. But it is fine, since OS now handles all the HW comunication, and frankly it more convinient and much more safe (I would say the only option) in multitasking environment. So nowdays you instead of using int instructions to use BIOS mapped function or DOS function you call dll which internally than handles everything you don´t need to know about. I understand this. I also undrstand that device drivers is the piece of code that runs in ring level 0, so it can do all the HW interactions. But what I don´t understand is connection between OS and device driver. Let´s take a example - I want to make a sound card make a sound. So I call windows API to acess sound card, but what happens than? Does windows call device drivers to do so? But if it does call device driver, does it mean, that all device drivers which can be called by winAPI function, must have routines named in some specific way? I mean, when I have new sound card, must its drivers have functions named same as the old one? So Windows can actually call the same function from its perspective? But if Windows have predefined sets of functions requored by device drivers, that it cannot use new drivers that doesent existed before last version of OS came out. Please, help me understand this mess. I am really getting mad. Thanks.

  • MySQL function return more than 1 row

    - by bobobobo
    I'd like to write a MySQL stored function that returns multiple rows of data. Is this possible? It seems to be locked at 1 row -- can't even return 0 rows. For example DELIMITER // create function go() RETURNS int deterministic NO SQL BEGIN return null ; -- this doesn't return 0 rows! it returns 1 row -- return 0 ; END // DELIMITER ; Returning null from a MySQL stored proc though, doesn't return 0 rows.. it returns 1 row with the value null in it. Can I return 0, or more than 1 row from a MySQL function, how?

  • Using DynamicVertexBuffer in XNA 4.0

    - by Bevin
    I read about DynamicVertexBuffer, and how it's supposed to be better for data that changes often. I have a world built up by cubes, and I need to store the cubes' vertices in this buffer to draw them to the screen. However, not all cubes have vertices (some are air, which is transparent) and not all faces of the cubes need to be drawn either (they are facing each other), so how do I keep track of what vertices are stored where in the buffer? Also, certain faces need to be drawn last, namely the ones with transparency in them (like glass or leaves), and these faces also need to be drawn in a back-to-front order to not mess up the alpha blending. If all of these vertices are stored arbitrarily in this buffer, how do I know what vertices are where? Also, the number of vertices can change, but the DynamicVertexBuffer doesn't seem very dynamic to me, since I can't change it's size at all. Do I have to recreate the buffer every time I need to add or remove faces?

  • MySQL UpdateXML with automatic node inserting?

    - by JimPsr
    I am writing an application that supports custom fields. Currently I store all custom fields in a XML formated text field ( e.g. '<root><field1>val1</field1><field2>val2</field2></root>' in cust_field) I am able to to use updateXML(cust_field, '/root/field1', '<field1>new value</field1') to update those values, however if I use updateXML(cust_field, '/root/field3', '<field3>new value</field3>') then it does not work since field3 is not in the old value. Is there a way to let MySQL automatically insert the new field3 node and its value into cust_field? I am thinking about stored procedure or even stored function but not familiar with both, can anyone point me to the right direction?

  • Python: Best practice for including a version number in an app?

    - by Ben
    I have a PyQt application that reads and writes data files. I am including a 'version number' in each file written. This is a simple number similar to: 1.2 or something (major and minor versions). I am doing this so that I can change the format of these data files in future versions and then still correctly parse them simply by checking to see what the version is inside the file. My question is what is the best practice for keeping this number stored inside the app itself. I.e. do I just hard-code the app version number into the class that is responsible for reading and writing files? Or should I have some sort of object/variable stored at the top-level of the app and somehow access it from the class responsible for reading and writing these files. If the latter, how do I store it and how do I access it? Thanks.

  • The ultimate c# file and directory utility library?

    - by Serge van den Oever
    I find myself writing file and directory utility functions all the time, and I was wondering if there is good file and directory library that already implements a more extensive set than available by default in System.IO. The kind of functions I'm looking for is things like: public static void GetTemporaryDirectory() { string tempDirectory = Path.Combine(Path.GetTempPath(), Path.GetRandomFileName()); Directory.CreateDirectory(tempDirectory); return tempDirectory; } public static void CreateEmptyFile(string filename) { File.Create(filename).Dispose(); } public static void CreateEmptyFile(string path, string filename) { File.Create(Path.Combine(path, filename)).Dispose(); } public static void CreateDirectory(string path) { Directory.CreateDirectory(path); } public static void CreateDirectory(string path, string childpath) { Directory.CreateDirectory(Path.Combine(path, childpath)); }

  • Best .NET Solution for Frequently Changed Database

    - by sestocker
    I am currently architecting a small CRUD applicaton. Their database is a huge mess and will be changing frequently over the course of the next 6 months to a year. What would you recommend for my data layer: 1) ORM (if so, which one?) 2) Linq2Sql 3) Stored Procedures 4) Parametrized Queries I really need a solution that will be dynamic enough (both fast and easy) where I can replace tables and add/delete columns frequently. Note: I do not have much experience with ORM (only a little SubSonic) and generally tend to use stored procedures so maybe that would be the way to go. I would love to learn Ling2Sql or NHibernate if either would allow for the situation I've described above.

  • Multiple connections to a MySQL database in a single PHP script.

    - by st3
    There are multiple times in one page where I need to connect and subsequently query a MySQL database, yet my code won't let me. I think it might be something to do with how my files are nested but it makes no sense. I am opening the SQL connection in the header file. The top of the offending page looks like the following: <?php $page_title = 'Dashboard'; include('templates/header.inc'); // includes a 'require_once('mysqli_connect.php') and a small query to the database; require_once('includes/functions.php'); require_once('includes/dashboard_sql.php'); // Contains functions which connect to database (which are failing.) ?> I get the PHP error Notice: Undefined variable: dbc in /Library/WebServer/Documents/pediatory_site/includes/dashboard_sql.php Where $dbc is the database connection defined in mysqli_connect.php. If anyone could help me out that would be great.

  • my output parameters are always null when i use BeginExecuteNonQuery

    - by CharlesO
    I have a stored procedure that returns a varchar(160) as an output parameter of a stored procedure. Everything works fine when i use ExecuteNonQuery, i always get back the expected value. However, once i switch to use BeginExecuteNonQuery, i get a null value for the output. I am using connString + "Asynchronous Processing=true;" in both cases. Sadly the BeginExecuteNonQuery is about 1.5 times faster in my case...but i really need the output parameter. Thanks!

  • What is user gcc's purpose in requesting code possibly like this?

    - by James Morris
    In the question between syntax, are there any equal function the user gcc is requesting only what I can imagine to be the following code: #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> /* estimated magic values */ #define MAXFUNCS 8 #define MAXFUNCLEN 3 int the_mainp_compare_func(char** mainp) { char mainp0[MAXFUNCS][MAXFUNCLEN] = { 0 }; char mainp1[MAXFUNCS][MAXFUNCLEN] = { 0 }; char* psrc, *pdst; int i = 0; int func = 0; psrc = mainp[0]; printf("scanning mainp[0] for functions...\n"); while(*psrc) { if (*psrc == '\0') break; else if (*psrc == ',') ++psrc; else { mainp0[func][0] = *psrc++; if (*psrc == ',') { mainp0[func][1] = '\0'; psrc++; } else if (*psrc !='\0') { mainp0[func][1] = *psrc++; mainp0[func][2] = '\0'; } printf("function: '%s'\n", mainp0[func]); } ++func; } printf("\nscanning mainp[1] for functions...\n"); psrc = mainp[1]; func = 0; while(*psrc) { if (*psrc == '\0') break; else if (*psrc == ',') ++psrc; else { mainp1[func][0] = *psrc++; if (*psrc == ',') { mainp1[func][1] = '\0'; psrc++; } else if (*psrc !='\0') { mainp1[func][1] = *psrc++; mainp1[func][2] = '\0'; } printf("function: '%s'\n", mainp1[func]); } ++func; } printf("\ncomparing functions in '%s' with those in '%s'\n", mainp[0], mainp[1] ); int func2; func = 0; while (*mainp0[func] != '\0') { func2 = 0; while(*mainp1[func2] != '\0') { printf("comparing %s with %s\n", mainp0[func], mainp1[func2]); if (strcmp(mainp0[func], mainp1[func2++]) == 0) return 1; /* not sure what to return here */ } ++func; } /* no matches == failure */ return -1; /* not sure what to return on failure */ } int main(int argc, char** argv) { char* mainp[] = { "P,-Q,Q,-R", "R,A,P,B,F" }; if (the_mainp_compare_func(mainp) == 1) printf("a match was found, but I don't know what to do with it!\n"); else printf("no match found, and I'm none the wiser!\n"); return 0; } My question is, what is it's purpose?

  • 4GB limitation on these embedded/express DBs good enough? what's next if limitation is reached?

    - by edwin.nathaniel
    I'm wondering how long a (theoretically) desktop-app can consume the full 4GB limitation of these express/embedded database products (SQL-Server Express, Oracle Express, SQLite3, etc) provided that big blobs will be stored in filesystem. Also what would be your strategy when it hits the 4GB? Archive the old DB Copy 1-3 months of data to the new DB (consider this as cache strategy?) Start using the new DB from this point onward (How do you access the old data?) I understand that the answer might varies depending on how much data you stored in the table/column. But please describe based on your experience (what kind of desktop-app, write/read heavy, how long will it reach according to your guess).

  • backgroundworkers or threadpools

    - by vbNewbie
    I am trying to create an app that allows multiple search requests to occur whilst maintaining use of the user interface to allow interaction. For the multiple search requests, I initially only had one search request running with user interaction still capable by using a backgroundworker to do this. Now I need to extend these functions by allowing more search functions and basically just queueing them up. I am not sure whether to use multiple backgroundworkers or use the threadpool since I want to be able to know the progress of each search job at any time.

  • where to store information like gender and year of birth?

    - by fayer
    i have users and i need them to specify a gender (male, female) and year of birth (1930, 1931...1999, 2000). i wonder where i should store these values: in the database? in php file? if i store them in the database i have to manually create all entries first. but a good thing is that the user table will have constraints so the gender field will always be male or female, it cannot be something else. if i store them in the php file (eg. as html) then i can easily add/remove values. but a con is that i dont have the constraints in database, so another value could be stored as gender by mistake, even though i could add validation in php backend so even if someone hacked the html it is not stored unless it's either male or female. what is best practice to do this? thanks

  • Memory error, access violation.

    - by Ordo
    Hello! I'm learning C on my own and as a exercise i have written a program but it does not work. The program is splitted into 3 parts. A header file, a main file for executing the program a file to define the functions. I'm not using all the functions yet but that shouldn't be the problem. Here is my header file, nothing special in it. #ifndef EMPLOYEE_H #define EMPLOYEE_H struct Employee { char first[21]; char last[21]; char title[21]; int salary; }; struct Employee* createEmployee(char*, char*, char*, int); // Creates a struct Employee object on the heap. char* getfirstname (struct Employee*); char* getlastname (struct Employee*); char* gettitle (struct Employee*); int getsalary (struct Employee*); void setfirstname (struct Employee*, char*); void setlastname (struct Employee*, char*); void settitle (struct Employee*, char*); void setsalary (struct Employee*, int); void printEmployee(struct Employee*); #endif In this file i define the functions and how they work: #include "7.1.h" #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> struct Employee* createEmployee(char* first, char* last, char* title, int salary) // Creates a struct Employee object on the heap. { struct Employee* p = (struct Employee*) malloc(sizeof(struct Employee)); if (p != NULL) { strcpy(p->first, first); strcpy(p->last, last); strcpy(p->title, title); p->salary, salary; } return p; } char* getfirstname (struct Employee* p) { if (p != NULL) return p ? p->first : ""; } char* getlastname (struct Employee* p) { if (p != NULL) return p ? p->last : ""; } char* gettitle (struct Employee* p) { if (p != NULL) return p ? p->title : ""; } int getsalary (struct Employee* p) { if (p != NULL) return p ? p->salary : 0; } void setfirstname (struct Employee* p, char* first) { if (p != NULL) strcpy(p->first, first); } void setlastname (struct Employee* p, char* last) { if (p != NULL) strcpy(p->last, last); } void settitle (struct Employee* p, char* title) { if (p != NULL) strcpy(p->title, title); } void setsalary (struct Employee* p, char* salary) { if (p != NULL) p->salary, salary; } void printEmployee(struct Employee* p) { if (p != NULL) { printf("%s, %s, %s, %d", p->first, p->last, p->salary, p->salary ); } } And the last file is used to executed the program/functions: #include "7.1.h" #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main () { char decision; struct Employee emp; struct Employee* emps[3]; for ( int i = 0; i < 1; i ++) { printf("Please type in the emplooyes data.\nFirstname:"); scanf("%s", emp.first); printf("Lastname:"); scanf("%s", emp.last); printf("Title:"); scanf("%s", emp.title); printf("Salary:"); scanf("%d", &emp.salary); emps[i] = createEmployee(emp.first, emp.last, emp.title, emp.salary); } printf("Do you want to print out your information? (Y/N):"); scanf("%c", &decision); if (decision == 'y' || decision == 'Y') { printEmployee(emps[1]); } } I don't know what the problem is. I 'm always getting the following error message after typing in first, last, title and salary for the first time. The error is written in german. It means: Unhandled exception at 0x102de42e (msvcr100d.dll) in 7.1.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation when writing to 0xCCCCCCCC position. I could fix the first problem with the hints given below. Now when i want to print out the employee data using the function:printEmployee(emps[1]);, I get the same kind of error with access violation.

  • Adding the text area input to a list with jquery

    - by amylynn83
    I am making a shopping list app. When an item is added to the text input, it should be converted into a list item with a class of "tile" and added to the beginning of the list with a class of ".shopping_item_list". Here is my HTML: <section> <h1 class="outline">Shopping List Items</h1> <ul class="shopping_item_list"> <li class="tile">Flowers<span class="delete">Delete</span></li> </ul> </section> My jQuery: $("input[name='shopping_item']").change(function() { var item = $(this).val(); $("<li class='tile'>+ item +</li>").prependTo(".shopping_item_list"); $(".tile").removeClass("middle"); $(".shopping_item_list li:nth-child(3n+2)").addClass("middle"); }); This isn't working, and I can't figure out why. I'm new to jQuery. Also, I need to add the "delete" span to the list item and am not sure how. Thanks for any help you can offer! Edited to add: Thanks to the feedback here, I was able to make it work with: $("input[name='shopping_item']").change(function() { var item = $(this).val(); $("<li class='tile'>" + item + "<span class='delete'>Delete</span>" + " </li>").prependTo(".shopping_item_list"); $(".tile").removeClass("middle"); $(".shopping_item_list li:nth-child(3n+2)").addClass("middle"); }); However, in my jquery, I have functions for the classes "tile" and "delete" that are not working for newly added items. // hide delete button $(".delete").hide(); // delete square $(".tile").hover(function() { $(this).find(".delete").toggle(); }); $(".tile").on("click", ".delete", function() { $(this).closest("li.tile").remove(); $(".tile").removeClass("middle"); $(".shopping_item_list li:nth-child(3n+2)").addClass("middle"); }); // cross off list $(".tile").click(function() { $(this).toggleClass("deleteAction"); }); The new items, which have these classes applied aren't using these functions at all. Do I need to add the functions below the add item? Does the order in which they appear in my js file matter? Do I need to add some kind of function?

  • jQuery. Treat a string as a HTML document?

    - by James Jeffery
    I'm not sure if I worded the title correctly. Basically is it possible to treat a string as HTML as if it was on the page? So I can use $("#elem") and all the other jQuery functions? The HTML is loaded into a string from an ajax request and stored in a string. Instead of using regular expressions to access the data needed is it possible to use jQuery functions? ajaxTextResponse.$("#telephone"); I know the above won't work, but you see what I am getting at. Thanks

  • How to determine the radius and center of a circle when only three noncollinear points are known?

    - by Bob
    I'm working on a C# program that deals with Oracle Spatial geometry. When circle data is stored in a geometry field only three non-collinear points are stored to represent the circle. The problem is that I need to use this data on a Google Maps web page and need the center point and radius of the circle (since my circle drawing function uses that information). Can anyone help with the math involved and translating said math to C#? I think this page may hold the answer, but I'm having a hard time following it. There are formulas for radius and center given three points, but then they define the variables as matrices and I get lost at that point. How would I solve that in code?

  • How to display mysql records as preselected checkboxes?

    - by Jennifer
    I have a table column called post_tags within a table called posts where assigned tags are stored separated by the @ symbol. I also have a table called tags where all tag names are stored. I would like to design my database in a more normalized way but for the purpose I am trying to achieve this is the easiest option. Anyway, I want to display on the screen all the entries from the tags table as checkboxes, so I do: $query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM tags ORDER BY name"); while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) { $tag = $row['name']; echo "<input type='checkbox' name='tags[]' value='$tag' />\n"; } Next I want to have the tags that are assigned to a particular post be preselected. For example, if I have a post with the following in it's post_tags column: party@beaches@dolphins@ I want the "party", "beaches" and "dolphin" checkboxes to be checked by default (while the checkboxes for the other options are unchecked). How can this be done?
