  • Delphi dbExpress and Interbase: Unicode migration steps and risks?

    - by mjustin
    Currently, our database uses Win1252 as the only character encoding. We will have to support Unicode in the database tables soon, which means we have to perform this migration for four databases and around 80 Delphi applications which run in-house in a 24/7 environment. Are there recommendations for database migrations to UTF-8 (or UNICODE_FSS) for Delphi applications? Some questions listed below. Many thanks in advance for your answers! are there tools which help with the migration of the existing databases (sizes between 250 MB and 2 GB, no Blob fields), by dumping the data, recreating the database with UNICODE_FSS or UTF-8, and loading the data back? are there known problems with Delphi 2009, dbExpress and Interbase 7.5 related to Unicode character sets? would you recommend to upgrade the databases to Interbase 2009 first? (This upgrade is planned but does not have a high priority) can we simply migrate the database and Delphi will handle the Unicode character sets automatically, or will we have to change all character field types in every Datamodule (dfm and source code) too? which strategy would you recommend to work on the migration in parallel with the normal development and maintenance of the existing application? The application runs in-house so development and database administration is done internally. Update: one problem I found now is that there are two different persistent field types for Unicode and non Unicode character fields. For the existing database, dbExpress creates TStringField objects. For the Unicode database fields, dbExpress creates (or expects!) TWideStringField objects. So we can not just change the database and the connection code page to Unicode. We also have to modify all datamodules to use the new field type. The modified datamodule however will not be backwards compatible.

  • Working on the search

    The one thing I've always like working on and about this site, is the full text search engine and spider. Bascially it goes out and spiders all the major development blogs on the web, and then indexes them. The engine uses Lucene for it's index. Lucene is another open source project and it works really fast. Currently the directory is indexed, and the rss feeds are underway. We're talking about a lot of content, but once it's done you'll be able to pull podcasts, and videos as they get posted to...Did you know that DotNetSlackers also publishes .net articles written by top known .net Authors? We already have over 80 articles in several categories including Silverlight. Take a look: here.

  • DotNet Get User Operating System (HTTP_USER_AGENT)

    - by rockinthesixstring
    I'm looking at building an exhaustive function that returns a friendly name for the Users Operating System. I think I have most of the Windows stuff down, but I'm not sure about Linux, OSX, and others. Does anyone know where I can find an exhaustive list of HTTP_USER_AGENT's 'Gets the users operating system Public Shared Function GetUserOS() As String Dim strAgent As String = HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_USER_AGENT") 'Windows OS's If InStr(strAgent, "Windows NT 6.1") Then : Return "Windows 7" ElseIf InStr(strAgent, "Windows NT 6.0") Then : Return "Windows Vista" ElseIf InStr(strAgent, "Windows NT 5.2") Then : Return "Windows Server 2003" ElseIf InStr(strAgent, "Windows NT 5.1") Then : Return "Windows XP" ElseIf InStr(strAgent, "Windows NT 5.0") Then : Return "Windows 2000" ElseIf InStr(strAgent, "Windows 98") Then : Return "Windows 98" ElseIf InStr(strAgent, "Windows 95") Then : Return "Windows 95" 'Mac OS's ElseIf InStr(strAgent, "Mac OS X") Then : Return "Mac OS X" 'Linux OS's ElseIf InStr(strAgent, "Linux") Then : Return "Linux" Else : Return "Unknown" End If End Function 'GetUserOS

  • syntax problem crating a method that returns an object (java)

    - by David
    I'm trying to create a method that will sum two timeO objects and return a new TimeO object called sum. Here is the relevant code snippet: public static TimeO add (TimeO t1, TimeO t2) { TimeO sum = new TimeO ; ... } When i try to compile it i get this error message: TimeO.java:15: '(' or '[' expected TimeO sum = new TimeO ; ^ 1 error i cant think of any reason why it would want me to open a set of parenthasies or brackets here but its possible that i dont' quite understand the syntax. Whats going wrong here?

  • PyYAML parse into arbitary object

    - by Philip Fourie
    I have the following Python 2.6 program and YAML definition (using PyYAML): import yaml x = yaml.load( """ product: name : 'Product X' sku : 123 features : - size : '10x30cm' weight : '10kg' """ ) print type(x) print x Which results in the following output: <type 'dict'> {'product': {'sku': 123, 'name': 'Product X', 'features': [{'weight': '10kg', 'size': '10x30cm'}]}} It is possible to create a strongly typed object from x? I would like to the following: print x.features(0).size I am aware that it is possible to create and instance from an existent class, but that is not what I want for this particular scenario.

  • How to manage reports/files distribution to different destinations in Unix?

    - by mossie
    The reporting tools will generate a huge numbers of reports/files in the file system (a Unix directory). There's a list of destinations (email addresses and shared folders) where a different set of reports/files (can have overlap) are required to be distributed at each destinations. Would like to know if there's a way to efficiently manage this reports delivery using shell scripts so that the maintenance of the list of reports and destinations will not become a mess in future. It's quite an open ended question, the constraint however is that it should work within the boundaries of managing the reports in a Unix FS.

  • Where to translate message strings - in the view or in the model?

    - by GrGr
    We have a multilingual (PHP) application and use gettext for i18n. There are a few classes in the backend/model that return messages or message formats for printf(). We use xgettext to extract the strings that we want to translate. We apply the gettext function T_() in the frontend/view - this seems to be where it belongs. So far we kept the backend clean from T_() calls, this way we can also unit-test messages. So in the frontend we have something like echo T_($mymodel->getMessage()); or printf(T_($mymodel->getMessageFormat()), $mymodel->getValue()); This makes it impossible to apply xgettext to extract the strings, unless we put some dummy T_("my message %s to translate") call in the MyModel class. So this leads to the more general question: Do you apply translation in the backend classes, resp. where do you apply translation and how do you keep track of the strings which you have to translate? (I am aware of Question: poedit workaround for dynamic gettext.)

  • Error: Error #1502: A script has executed for longer than the default timeout period of 15 seconds.

    - by numerical25
    I got this error and I am not sure what it's about. The last thing I remember doing is adding a clearInterval() method to clear some setTimeOut() intervals varibles. besides that I am not sure what it could be. Not asking for a solution. But if anyone know's any possibilities of what it could trigger that error, maybe that might help me to figure out where its coming from.

  • Keyboard- and mouse-event transparent widget

    - by Gajender
    When i click a button my main window i want it to become transparent to keyboard and mouse events, i.e. all keyboard and mouse events should pass to any windows below it as if that window is not present there. "Qt::WA_TransparentForMouseEvents" does not work here as this only make child windows transparent to keyboard and mouse events i guess. And my window is main window and i want to pass all event to any window on desktop not just parent window.

  • Container div ignores height of floated elements

    - by Thomas
    Ok, so this seems like a really silly problem but I can't get my container div to inherit the height of the floated elements inside of it. Since I need to center the container div, I can't use float to fix this problem. Here is my css: #container { margin: 0 auto; width: 1000px; border-left: 1px solid #f1f1f1; border-right: 1px solid #f1f1f1; border-bottom: 1px solid #f1f1f1; } #focus { padding-left: 23px; width: 977px; padding-top: 20px; padding-bottom: 23px; border-bottom: 1px solid #f1f1f1; float: left; } .rslider { float: left; width: 600px; margin-left: 15px; } .welcome { float: left; width: 300px; } Html: <div id="container"> <div id="logo_block"> <a href="#"><img src="img/logo.jpg" alt="" /></a> </div> <div id="focus"> <div class="welcome"> <h1>All About This Page</h1> <p>Donec quam felis, ultricies nec, pellentesque eu, pretium quis, sem. Nulla consequat massa quis enim. Donec pede justo, fringilla vel, liquet nec, vulputate eget, arcu. In enim justo, rhoncus ut, imperdiet a, venenatis vitae, justo. Nullam dictum felis eu pede mollis pretium.</p> </div> <div class="rslider"> <img src="img/slider_image.jpg"> </div> </div> </div> Any ideas?

  • Filtering Client IP from Access Log for Urchin

    - by Ram Prasad
    I have some apache logs to process, and since the webserver behind two levels of reverse proxies, I am getting two IPs in the X-Forwarded-For header.. for example: 208.34.234.55, 127.0.0.1 - - [29/Oct/2009:21:38:13 -0500] "GET /monkey.html HTTP/1.0" 200 20845 0 0 "http://www.monkey.com/" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.15) Gecko/2009101601 Firefox/3.0.15 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)" Now, how do I filter this in Urchin (or remove this in Apache logging) so, 127.0.0.1 is removed from processing. Currently urchin is not able to recognize the multuple IP address so it does not log the remote IP

  • Disable ProxyPass rules within a virtual host on apache 2

    - by chinto
    I have a global proxypass rule in httpd.conf rules at global level ProxyPass /test/css http://myserver:7788/test/css ProxyPassReverse /test/css http://myserver:7788/test/css and I have a virtual host Listen localhost:7788 NameVirtualHost localhost:7788 <VirtualHost localhost:7788> Alias /test/css/ "C:/jboss/server/default/deploy/test.ear/test-web-app.war/css/" </VirtualHost> I would like to disable all global proxypass rules applying in this virtual host? NoProxy doesn't seem to work. (The reason I would like to do this is I have below global rules which create a 502 proxy loop if applied within this virtual host #pass all requests to application server ProxyPass /test http://localhost:8080/test ProxyPassReverse /test http://localhost:8080/test ) What I'm trying to do is, serve all static content (like css) using apache, while still proxying all the rest of requests to the application server.

  • Windows Vista not indexing files

    - by kevin
    I'm using Windows Vista's search index service to quickly launch programs by typing "windows key" +"name of program". However I'm having a hard time trying to understand why certain files won't appear. I want to launch "pageant.exe" located in "C:\Program Files\Putty" with this method but it doesn't show up in the results. In the index search options I said I wanted to index the "Start menu" and "C:\Program Files". I've checked that .exe files are indeed indexed and they are. I've also tried to completly rebuild the index with no luck. What am I doing wrong ?
