Data modeling for a small database tutorial - understand the part 'Creating relationships between entities'

I'm trying to understand and make use of Tutorial: modeling of data for a small database

In this tutorial, I'm supposed to make Entity Transactions containing two attributes that designates the bosses (patron_id) and Books (book_id) (2.1.4) entities

Later, I add two one-to-many relationships that attributes mentioned twice in the entity of Transactions (patron_id1 and book_id1). (2.1.5)

So here are my questions: what is the purpose of creating attributed to point 2.1.4 if they are then reproduced in paragraph 2.1.5?

If she could be crucial, I use Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler Version 4.0.0.825 Build 825 on jdk1.7.0_25.

Bonus question: how to turn attributes types on the logical diagram? I can't find the option anywhere...

I would be really grateful for each answer and all the stuff!

Looking at the documentation for version 2.  I checked 3.3 and 4.0 EA3 and corrected tutorial you can download the latest version and use this documentation.

  • Calculate the fastest path between 2 nodes with the data model for the Oracle network

    Hi all,

    I have Oracle 10 g 2.

    My problem is the following:

    I created a network named ITALIA_NET in the data model for the Oracle network.
    The table of links of this network is named: ITALIA_NET_LINK$.
    The table of the nodes of this network is named: ITALIA_NET_NODE$.

    The table ITALIA_NET_LINK$ contains a field named COST that contains links (in meters) lengths.

    I've already calculated the SHORTEST PATH between two nodes of the network, by using the method of shortestPath() (using the Java API) as shown on "Pro Oracle Spatial for Oracle Database 11 g" manual. Infact, this method makes reference to the COST field for $ ITALIA_NET_LINK to make this calculation.

    Now, I want to calculate the FASTER PATH between two nodes of the network. I have the links (in hours) travel time to make this calculation.

    My idea is to create a new field in ITALIA_NET_LINK$ named Cost2 containing the travel time from the links and then do the math by using the shorthestPath() method, referring to the Cost2 field to $ ITALIA_NET_LINK COST field instead.
    By default, I know that the shorthestPath() method returns the COST field for $ ITALIA_NET_LINK. Is possible to change this setting and do that this method refers to the Cost2 field?

    In the alternative, is another way for the calculation of the fastest way?
    I want to leave the creation of another network as last solution, because I will have other costs of field (Cost3, cos4t,...)

    Thank you much in advance.

    Your approach is good. You will have two networks and you can read them in memory and analyze of shortest path. The shortestPath method is static for the class of NetworkManager. You can use the same method for both networks, once they are read into memory.

    ...
    read the network with time as cost of link
    NetTime network = NetworkManager.readNetwork (dbConnection, 'ITALIA_NET_TIME');
    read the network length as cost of link
    Network netLength = NetworkManager.readNetwork (dbConnection, 'ITALIA_NET_LENGTH');

    calculate the quickest way
    PathTime path = NetworkManager.shortestPath (netTime, startNodeID, endNodeID);
    calculate the shortest path
    PathLength path = NetworkManager.shortestPath (netLength, startNodeID, endNodeID);
    ...

    In the future, if you upgrade to 11g, network data model provides a load on demand (LOD) API that loads only the scores of necessary network in memory during the analysis. This command removes the restriction of the memory of the 10g (in memory API you use) API. API of LOD can handle very large networks and offers more features analysis and modeling capabilities.

    The following link contains the tutorial of NDM LOD API ready for download. Just for your information.

  • License / subscription model for very small team

    Hi all

    I tried to find the answer on my own, but information on the Adobe website is quite confusing to me. I need a license for Adobe Acrobat Pro DC. The program will be mainly used by my client. But I need administrative rights to all (subscription planning, installation, configuration, maintenance). What is the subscription/licensing solution more appropriate for this (small team distributed organizational)?

    • Simple single user account?
    • The team account - me or my client?
    • Product purchased directly from my client or purchased by myself (a kind of reseller model)?

    Were is not the best place for this discussion, but I guess there are a lot of users are already familiar with models of Licensing/subscription to Adobe as well as the possibilities resulting and limits.

    Thanks in advance!

    Read the user final license agreement and which could help to address the issues.  The holder of the account for a single license is the only one authorized to use the software.  Who will use the software should be the owner of the license.

  • Data Modeler: changing attribute Table grayed out (in the relational model)

    I use SQL Developer Data model version 2.0.0 build 584.

    I have a relational model of appr. 30 paintings. For some tables, the display of attributes is grayed out, not allowing not of any change of the values. I have a feeling that this was due to an import/merge views of database, but for me this quite annoying because it prevents modelling activities further on these tables.

    Does anyone have an idea what could be the reason for this? More importantly: how to remedy this situation?

    Mark

    Hi Mark,

    Does anyone have an idea what could be the reason for this

    the reason is probably the difference in design name and name in the next item in the XML of the table:

    It is interesting how you did this.

    More importantly: how to remedy this situation?

    You can try ' Save as ' to save the design in a different directory.

  • [SOLVED] Export Oracle SQL Data Modeler is missing a PRIMARY KEY on the DDL script

    I use data 4.1.888 maker to create an ER diagram and generate a DDL her script.

    The diagram contains more than 40 paintings, most of them have a primary key defined.

    For some reason any there is a table that has a primary key defined, but which is ignored when I export the model to a DDL script.

    It is the "wrong" key (even if it is checked that it is not found on the generated DDL script):

    4faS5.png

    This is where the key is set:

    O5mPb.png

    And it is the preview of the DDL (Yes, primary key up there shows):

    SrwMu.png

    This is what happens if I try to generate the DDL for just this (still not generated primary key) table:

    MljUm.png

    Has anyone had the same problem? Any ideas on how to solve it?

    There is no error in the log file, but when I run the generated DDL script there, and then I realized that I was doing something wrong:

    The table MEMBERS had a mandatory foreign key from another table, which in turn had a mandatory key against MEMBERS himself.

    So even if I could generate this primary key on members myself, and then run the the constraint definition that returned an error on the DDL script, I could not perform an insert operation on any of these two tables because of the constraint.

    I revised my design and realized relationships was not mandatory. I unchecked the mandatory box on the definition of the constraint and everything went well.

    I could reproduce the problem and the solution on a diagram with only two tables, so I'm sure that's it.

    Anyway, the Data Modeler is "a failed" silently in this kind of situation. It should be fairly obvious to an experienced designer that I was doing something wrong, but it is not so obvious when you deal with dozens of tables and all their relations and this is your first time using the Modeler.

    Thanks for your reply :-)

  • Can't add placeholder text data merge for all blocks of text on the document

    I'm trying to put together a script that loops if all pages in an indesign file, search all text frames label caption1, caption2, caption3... (whenever you get to a new page, the number of text images label starts again from 1) and add a placeholder in the text data fusion: caption1, caption2, caption3... but this time, when you get to a new page the number continues to go... caption4, caption5 and so on.

  • Understand the iterator binding relationship of the current page

    Dear all

    in my quest to understand the behavior of the ADF framework, I sometimes do some experimentation. When a result is unlike what I think, it suggests that there is something wrong with the understanding

    I belong to those who can not work if I do not receive an overview comprehesive of what I am working with (ADF)

    Here's a simple experiment that I could use some help to understand

    I created a simple application based on ADF BC and JSF (10.1.2)

    The model is simple EO based on the EMP table and updatable VO based on the entity

    I slipped and fell to the control of data collection in a page as a Table with record selector

    I created a button with the following code

    Public Sub commandButton_action(ActionEvent a)
    {
    Am is AppModule_rs (AppModule_rs) ADFFacesHelper.getAppplicationModule ("AppModule_rsDataControl");. / / This just a helper class to get AM name DC
    ViewObject vo1 = am.findViewObject("EmpView1");
    VO1. Next();
    VO1. Next();
    System.out.println (VO1. GetCurrentRow(). GetAttribute ("empno")); -Read the valur of the iterator of VO
    DCIteratorBinding bd = ADFFacesHelper.getIteratorBinding ("EmpView1Iterator");
    System.out.println (BD. GetCurrentRow(). GetAttribute ("empno")); -Read the value of the iterator binding
    }

    Just simple code for in-house advance lines of two pointer line and then see how this is reflected in the page. This test is just for me to understand how the iterator binding refers to the actual set of rows.

    Scenario (1)

    -Run the page, the first line on the page is selected - planned, VO rowselector points on the first line
    -Click on the commandbutton control, the code above is executed
    -the rowselector forward twice and should point to the third row on VO
    -on the page of the third row must be selected
    RESULT: Match perfect and both command Print print the same value
    -Press and hold the control button, line guard page selector advances two lines at a time... which is good

    Scenario (2)

    -Run the page, the first line on the page is selected - planned, VO rowselector points on the first line
    -use the mouse and select the fourth row on the screen (not pressed) - VO is always level 1, screen on set, iterator binding binds to the rowset VO is always the first row referenes
    -Press the button
    -the page maintains its fourth selected line, while the System.out.println (vo1.getCurrentRow ().getAttribute("Empno")); prints the 7521 value which is the third - row
    -I don't feel happy, the current iterator of VO is on the third row, visually, it's fourth, which means that the selection of the user on the Web page did not consider. And this goes against my intiution


    -Press again, I find that line of page selector is the sixth line (4 + 2), therefore the iterator to all VO lines (synchornized times)

    Scenario (3)

    Run the page, the first line on the page is selected - planned, VO rowselector points on the first line
    -use the mouse and select the fourth row on the screen (not pressed) - VO is always level 1, screen on set, iterator binding binds to the rowset VO is always the first row referenes
    -Press the button SUBMIT - 4th place is always selected as expected
    -Now press the order button, you will see that line on the screen selector forward two rows and print indicates that the VO has also progressed to the same value
    -Se TRANSLATE only after pressing send, the frame cought his breath and synchronized things

    Coming background FORMS, things of this nature never would have happened with Disk Manager.

    I tried to project what has happened to the lifecycle ADF to try to understand how the interaction of the user affects the selection of lines, but was unable to reach a unified solution. What follows as an attempt for scenario (2)

    The user moves the selection to the fourth line
    The command button is pressed.
    Life cycle JSF begins with the RESTORATION of the VIEW.
    Apply request values (I guess the lines selection made by the user to become an integral part of request values?)
    Prepare the model (this is a post (postback), property of refreshment has ifNeeded, Binidng is created again and VO is always first in the poinitng)
    Validation process (no validation as no data entry)
    Model update (don't know if at this point the update of the line VO iterator? if so it should point to the fourth line)-doesn't seem to be the case
    Invoke the application, the listener of the action is executed and the VO is forced to move twice under the command button code
    Prepare the Render: it is a step where the link needs to be updated and reflect the currernt VO (rank 6) line
    Render: The page where the sixth line is selected

    where I am wrong! appreciate your comments

    It's what makes the difficult framework, if it is not clearly documented so the flow is very well understood by developers in one day, the developer must spend days and days debugging problems. This sure beats the idea of using frames to increase productivity

    I have

    Quick question - is the button that you add code to the same area (the "select and" area) as the button submit table?
    I'm guessing that it isn't and that the explanation is that just by clicking on a specific record in the table is not actually indicate to the controller layer is a selected line.
    The Send button did this update.
    One solution might be to set the autosubmit to the selected component to be true.

  • StartDrag: understand the parameters (create boundaries)

    Hello

    I have a problem with the settings 'StartDrag', I want to create some kind of limits, but I can't.

    Here's what I want to do:

    the main idea is made a simple slider puzzle like this:

    [1] [2] [3]

    [6] [5] [4]

    [7] [8] [..]

    So what I need now, is that only [4] and [8] can be draggable, but also they can only go to the empty spot and then if, for example, that we get with this

    [1] [2] [3]

    [6] [5] [..]

    [7] [8] [4]

    only [5] and [3] can be draggable.

    so if anyone can help on the "bunch" I'll be very grateful, or maybe I can use something else.

    Thank you

    Left, up, right, down parameters indicate the range of values allowed for the movement of the object relative to the parent guide.

    So if the order includes 0,0,5,0 which forces the object to move between _x = 0 and _x = 5 horizontally and FLF = 0 with no permitted vertical movement - everything in what concerns mixing coordinate system object resides.  So if your object is not sitting to _x = 0 5 and the FLF = 0, then it will be moved here when you launch the startDrag.

    For what do you want to have the starting points be where the object is currently, as in... (false, this ._x, this ._y, this ._x + 5, this ._y)

    You will notice that I used fake in there instead of true.  The lock tries to force the object to lock his record with the mouse.  Something where you prevent eligible movement, you don't want to try to force itself to align with the cursor at the same time... the user is not likely to be clicking on this specific point.  Making false will make for smoother control because she struggles not to align with the cursor.

  • VLAN real PowerConnect base for beginner who does not understand the trunks etc.

    I have several switches Dell powerconnect 3548 and 5548 deployed on my network to install multi that I'm managing their individual DNS names.  now, I've added a voip phone system that works on my network, but to a range of ip addresses completely different to another server.  So, I want all my switches divided into 2 VLANS.  The basic vlan 1 will always manage the switches and all ports and the vlan voip will have its own set of ports on the second VLAN.

  • How to consume the data model library adf for the project?

    Hello

    I use Jdev 11.1.1.6.

    I have a workspace Jdev containing the business component (entity objects, view and application module objects exposing the your). This workspace is deployed to a library of the ADF. This library is packed with DB connection details.

    I have a different workspace Jdev which needs to consume this library of ADF data model. This workspace is actually just the layer view (no business at all components).
    I added the data library ADF model to his draft opinion and it is showing application module and your sub of the data controls.

    My question is: how will this project view to connect to DB when running?
    It allows the connection of packaged data model ADF Libabry? If so, how?
    or should I create a business under this workspace view, just the purpose of connection project? If Yes, then what is the use of connections, including creating the library of the ADF?

    Thank you
    JAI

    Hello

    It uses the connection in the library of the ADF. However, I recommend that not save you the database connect information in the library of the ADF. Instead:

    -set the ADF BC model to use JDBC data sources
    -In the library of the ADF, configure it to contain only the name of data source
    -In the view project (the workspace) set up the database connection that is exposed by the library

    When the library is imported, verify the Application resources--> connections and right click on the name of the connection that is imported to configure
