  • how to reuse a CASE in the WHERE ?

    - by Thibault Witzig
    Hello I'm trying to do a request that looks like this SELECT field1, field2, field3 = CASE WHEN field2 = 'something' THEN 'something' WHEN field1 IS NOT NULL and field2 IS NULL THEN 'somethingElse' ELSE NULL END FROM SomeTable WHERE field3 IS NOT NULL This results in a syntax error. I have to rewrite the CASE in the WHERE instead of just refering to it. Is there a better way to achieve this ? And out of curiosity, why is "WHERE field3 IS NOT NULL" refused while for example "ORDER BY field3" would pass ?

  • getting emacs to move cursor by words on a Mac

    - by hatorade
    It's supposed to be M + cursor, but any shortcut in emacs using M (escape) on my mac sucks, because every time i need to use it, i need to release M (the escape key) and then press it again. Is there a better shortcut for moving along words in emacs (kind of like ctr + arrow in windows?)

  • From Java/C++ to XML

    - by Greenhouse Gases

I don't want to waste time reading over the basics of programming in a book, so has anyone any recommendations for resources for learning XML that assume a knowledge of programming already, or even better highlight how to switch from Java/C++ to XML ie. main differences etcs.

  • Best way to render Tesselated Objects (OpenGL)

    - by user146780
    I'm using the GLUTesselator for Polygons. Right now the vertex callback does glvertex2f and gltex2f. Would it be better simply to collect the verticies from the vertex callback in a std::vector then use gldrawarrays()? Or would this actually be less efficient since it has to put the verts and texture coordinates in a vector? Thanks

  • django convert list of objects to list of primary keys

    - by John
    Hi, As the title says I have a list of Django objects and I want to get a list of primary keys. What is the best way of doing this? I know I could do my_list = [] for item in object_list: my_list.append(item.pk) but was wondering if there is Django or Python specific way of doing this better. Thanks

  • Looking for a good Python Tree data structure

    - by morpheous
    I am looking for a good Tree data structure class. I have come across this package, but since I am relatively new to Python (not programming), I dont know if there are any better ones out there. I'd like to hear from the Pythonistas on here - do you have a favorite tree script that you regularly use and would recommend?

  • jQuery .eq(x) returns different element in IE than in FF/Chrome

    - by bt
    I am using the .eq() method to select a specific child element of a known element. It appears that the element indices are different in IE and in Chrome/FF, as .eq(2) returns different values depending on browser. (The element I'm looking for shows up as .eq(2) in FF/Chrome, but .eq(3) in IE) For example, alert($(this).parent().children().eq(2).text()); shows different results depending on the browser. Is there a better way of doing this?

  • C# code cleaning/auditing tool (stand-alone outside of the IDE).

    - by lucidquiet
    Does anyone know of a stand-alone tool for C# code cleaning/auditing that can run outside of Visual Studio IDE so as to be part of a build. Or if that isn't possible can someone provide some guidance as to how to make Visual Studio part of a build process -- by that I mean it would be nice to run the IDE's Sort and Remove unused using statements on all files as part of the build, but even better would be an exe that can read the .sln, or .csproj and do the job as part of build system. Thanks, L-

  • Functional Programming Equivalent of Design Patterns Book?

    - by JasonFruit
    Is there a functional-programming equivalent to the Gang of Four Design Patterns book? That is, is there a book that explains and gives examples of how commonly-needed code structures are implemented functionally? I think seeing that would give me a better idea of how to go about using in practice the functional concepts whose theory I understand.

  • PHP: What's the best way to check equality of $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] ?

    - by Hank
    I have a PHP script that checks the HTTP Referer. if ($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] == 'http://www.example.com/') {...} However, this seems inherintly unsafe ... because what happens if the user goes to 'http://example.com/' or 'http://www.ExaMple.com' (both of which don't match the equality test). Question: what's a better equality test to ensure that the HTTP Referer is coming from 'example.com' ?

  • How to create a generic Android XML layout for all activities

    - by zabawaba
    I have an application that needs the same items [5 buttons acting as tabs] in every screen. Is it possible to create a "base XML layout" that has these 5 buttons and then have all the other XML files extend from the bas layout in some way so that I don't have to have multiple buttons that will ultimately have the same functionality. Is there a better approach to this problem that can be supported by API 9

  • In a C# app, what is the most optimal way to insert many records into sql server?

    - by Otter
    I need to perform a very large sql server insert from a c# application. Somewhere in the range of 20,000 through 50,000 records. What is the fastest way through SQL server to perform the insert? There are several options I know of, but I don't know which is the fastest. insert into MyTable(column1, column2, ..., column*) select 'value','value',...,'value' union select 'value','value',...,'value' VS insert into MyTable(column1, column2, ..., column*) exec('select ''value'',''value'',...,''value''' 'select ''value'',''value'',...,''value''') VS bulk insert from a data file VS Any better way that you know of :)

  • Given a PHP class would be the best and simplest way to override one or two of its methods with one

    - by racl101
    Here's the objective. I have a PHP class and there are one or two of its methods that I would like to override with my own. As I understand OOP (in PHP and in general) I could write a child class that extends it and overrides the functionality of the methods in question. However, I was wondering if this is the best way of achieving this task and if this is a proper use for child classes or if there is something better in PHP for what I'm trying to do.
