• Is there an easy way to merge the two databases?

  I would like to know if there is an easy way to merge two data from a single database?

  The two databases are generated on different machines with different data (no duplicates).

  
  

  Thank you!

  It is possible that the db_dump and db_load utilities can be used here.   They are documented in the BDB C API reference manual.      Basic process would be to empty the database on a system, move the files to the other system can use db_load and load it into the existing db.    Since there is no duplicate, this process should work for you.

  Thank you

• simple way to merge two rows in a

  with test_temp as 
   (select 'x' key,to_char(1) col1,null col2 from dual
    UNION
    select 'x' key,null col1,'a' col2 from dual

  gives

  KEY    COL1      COL2 
  ----- -------  -------  
  x        1
  x                  a
  y        a         b
  z        a       
  z                  2

  smart way to get:
  

  KEY    COL1      COL2 
  ----- -------  -------  
  x        1        a
  y        a        b
  z        a        2

  Essentially, I want to merge two lines based on a common key and remove all columns with NULL values, and merge them into a single line. The col1 and col2 can have any data types (number, char, date, etc.) ideas?

  Sorry guys. My example was not the best. The numbers are just one example. I expanded the sample to display more realistic data.

  I just want to know if there is a smart way to merge two or more lines according to a key. Line is merged only when the merged line will result in a single line.

• Two iTunes libraries with an Apple TV

  Hi I have the new Apple TV and I would like to know if it is possible to access all of the iTunes home libraries (several people). Computers are PCs and Macbooks.

  I thought of two ways:

  (1) pass the House Apple TV sharing whenever you want to access a different library (it's quite involved as we all have complicated passwords and we do not have a keyboard for the Apple TV)

  (2) put all libraries iTunes on one account and use only one account.

  #2 is possible? I know that I can test, but I wanted to ask you before I went to play with all computers.

  -If I change the account on iTunes that will affect library one at all? (I know that we can add the new account to our sharing family so people can still get their purchases but what about not purchased items that are currently on the hard drive?)

  -People will always be able to back up their phones, or will they move iTunes from their computer to their own personal account before saving?

  Or is there a solution, that I don't know? Near as I can tell you can't do home sharing on Apple TV with multiple iTunes accounts.

  You just need to configure home sharing to be the same ID on all computers. Home sharing doesn't have to be the same as the account ID (these are separate functions) and will not impact on other activities

• Is there an easy way to compare two files and automatically combine the common data on both files by creating a new file?

• Is there an easy way to compare two null columns?

  I need to compare a large number of columns between the records from two tables for data conversion. I really need a comparison that returns true if: 1) the two columns are null; or (2) the two columns are not null and equal. I want him to return false if: 3) a column is set to null and the other isn't. or (4) the two columns are not null and are not equal. I'm trying to find the records which are not exact matches.
  
  I found the documentation for oracle-www.m-base.org/Sounds.html on the SYS_OP_MAP_NONNULL function that would do what I want, but I don't want to use it because it's an undocumented feature and my code will be in production for a period of time.
  
  I don't want to use a construction like this for each column that I compare:
  

  (
       (
            a.col is null
            and b.col is null
       )
       or (
            a.col = b.col
       )
  )

  Also, I don't know about the NVL function, but I compare columns that are entered by users, and I'm not comfortable, because these values could actually exist in the data of all NULL values.

  Hello

  Kiran says:
  where 1 = decode (coalesce(a.col,b.col), null, 1, decode (a.col, b.col, 1, 0))

  Or

  WHERE   1 = DECODE (a.col, b.col, 1)
  

• Need an easy way to merge the similar documents

  I need help. I'm looking for a plug-in or a program that I can use alongside Photoshop to do something very specific. It is similar in nature to stitch a panorama but not quite.
  Then I print the original line drawings, watercolor it it rescan and superimpose the original line drawing in photoshop. It is a pain as it is not always go back in a straight line or printing slightly changes the size. I want a program or plug-in that can detect that these images are similar and fuse together properly and precisely so I must not lose an hour on each image.

  
  Can someone direct me to a program that can help me to do a little more quickly? I prefer a Photoshop plug-in, but said there was no. Any other program that could do this to a document that I could then drag in or reopen in Photoshop would be great.

  It seems not that big of a deal (sitting in front of your screen juggle resizing and angling until it is perfect) but I seem to have a blind spot, where he's concerned and it takes me forever to make. Any help would be appreciated.
  

  Photoshop CS6 has a capacity of alignment layer.

  Put the two images on separate layers, select the two layers in the layers panel, and then choose the command Edition - automatic alignment of layers.

• Merge two favorite files - one of the former without losing new entries

  I'm trying to move the Favorites from one computer to another, without losing the favorites that have been added to the second computer, which can ONLY be the first. Once I have export favorites from the first computer on a port USB, import replace simply all the Favorites on the second computer folder or it will ask me if I want to record a new one to the old double the second favorite of the computer file (like when you save jpg files).

  Or is there another way to "merge" two folders, as visually opening upward both files and selecting what to switch to the hand...

  Thanx

  PS - am moving to Vista on a Windows 7 computer. as well as the synchronization of the two win 7 after that.

  Hi Maril,

  Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community Forums.

  Based on the information, you find out when you try to move the Favorites from one computer to another, if the existing Favorites in the second computer will be deleted.

  Usually, when you import bookmarks to another computer, it will not replace the already existing bookmarks on the second computer.

  However, to be on the safer side, you can take a backup of the bookmarks on the second computer to another folder or another location.  Try favorites of the importation of the first computer to the second computer, check if you are able to access to existing favorites as well as any.

  If this is not the case, try adding the Favorites of the backup location to imported Favorites and check if it helps.

  You can also copy favorites from the second computer to the first computer and save it in a new folder. Try to create another folder containing the computer the two first and second Favorites and then import the Favorites from this folder to the second computer.

  For more information, see the article:

  Add, view, and organize Favorites

  Hope the helps of information.

• How to merge two images in 14 elements?

  The Photomerge function was moved to 'Expert' display mode to the mode "guided edit.

  What has not changed is that you can always select your files in the organizer and use the Edit menu > Photomerge.

• Merging 2 iTunes - an old pc and the other on a new iMac libraries

  HHello everyone,

  hope led someone can help with this one.

  I'm trying to transfer iTunes library to an old windows to a new iMac pc.

  It's difficult because the pc has been and is still the host for an iPad, while the new iMac has already been connected to an iPhone. The two devices have the same account, which means that the backup of the iPhone to the imac has already led to a library which is very similar to that of the old pc. But of course the iMac does not accept the full connection with the iPad.

  So, I have to merge two libraries, but am afraid to loose critical data.

  So far I have consolidated the library on the pc and copied to a disk external usb. What do you think that the next?

  iTunes has been updated to the latest version on both systems before the consolidation.

  Thanks for your help!

• Duplication of any libraries - any way to merge?

  Hello

  In my 'Images' folder, I have now two libraries - iPhoto Library and photo library.  Having considered the two libraries there is a lot of overlap and duplication between them, and as they both occupy about 110 GB each I will refine them.  Y at - it a simple way to merge libraries, removing duplicate images in the process?

  Incidentally, I just opened the iPhoto library in iPhoto and recalled iPhoto how elegant has been compared to its replacement teen Photos - this is the progress apparently

  John

  You can remove whatever library is not in use (probably iPhoto) but you will not regain a lot of space. The two libraries use the same set of images, which are the bulk of the size.

• Is there an easy way to delete the original files replicated by iTunes game downloads?

  I have a library of great music stored on my Mac. When I subscribed to iTunes game, most of my songs appear in iTunes with the icon 'cloud' indicating that I was able to download the track, even if the files were stored locally in my iTunes music library.

  For various reasons, I wanted iTunes to recognize the local mapping to all my music files, so I selected my entire music library in iTunes, right click and choose 'download '. Now, it seems that all the files are uploaded to iTunes as a high quality files, which is great, but if I look in the folder for each album in my iTunes music library, I see now two copies of each song - the original file and the new higher quality file.

  In iTunes, I see only an entry for each track, so it's good, but the additional files are eating plenty of disk space unnecessarily. I don't want to go into every single album folder and delete old files to original, so I hope there is an easier way to remove.

  Help?

• Is it possible for two people to have separated on an iMac iTunes libraries?

  My dau. has a new iMac, and she has his iTunes library works in the way that she prefers.

  Is it possible for his partner to have a library separate iTunes he can use when it connects to and sync with the iPad?

  Yes. There are two ways to do this.

  1. did you separate user accounts - then all their data is separated and they can account for a long time no matter what either is appropriate

  2. have the same account but what iTunes libraries. You can have as many as you like: hold the option (or alt) key key and launch iTunes. From the menu that appears, select "Create Library" or "Choose Library" as the case may be.

  Finally, they could use the same library, simply not synchronize all this only to synchronize the items selected - playlists/albums etc.

• 2 my documents folders. Two different computers. Way to merge?

  I have two computers linked together. There are two "My documents" folders (one for each computer). I want to merge two files into one, so that there is a standard folder for documents. Is there an easy way to do this?

  You cannot delete my documents on a computer, but you can certainly keep them empty.

  If a method is to download and store all your documents in a centralized like microsoft skydrive site location.  However, both computers must have access to the internet to access your reader account free sky...

  Another method is to get an external hard drive and keep a set of documents on it.  can only carry a single external hard drive between computers.

  There is also an option / workaround, you can implement.  keep both my documents folder, but use microsoft sync toy to keep them synchronized so that they will update the same files...
