• [8i] help with function with parameters (for the calculation of the work)

  Let me start by saying, I've never written a function before, and I do not have access to create a feature in my database (that is, I can't test this feature). I am trying to achieve a function I can ask my IT Department to add for me. I hope that someone can take a look at what I wrote and tell me if this should work or not, and if it's the right way to go to solve my problem.
  
  I'm creating a function to make a very simple calculation of work (add/subtract a number of days to a date in the calendar).
  
  The database, I work with has a table with the schedule of work. Here is a sample table and sample data, representative of what is in my work table calendar:
  

  CREATE TABLE caln
  (     clndr_dt     DATE,
       shop_days     NUMBER(5)
       CONSTRAINT caln_pk PRIMARY KEY (clndr_dt)
  );
  
  INSERT INTO     caln
  VALUES (To_Date('01/01/1980','mm/dd/yyyy'),0);
  INSERT INTO     caln
  VALUES (To_Date('01/02/1980','mm/dd/yyyy'),1);
  INSERT INTO     caln
  VALUES (To_Date('01/03/1980','mm/dd/yyyy'),2);
  INSERT INTO     caln
  VALUES (To_Date('01/04/1980','mm/dd/yyyy'),3);
  INSERT INTO     caln
  VALUES (To_Date('01/05/1980','mm/dd/yyyy'),3);
  INSERT INTO     caln
  VALUES (To_Date('01/06/1980','mm/dd/yyyy'),3);
  INSERT INTO     caln
  VALUES (To_Date('01/07/1980','mm/dd/yyyy'),4);
  INSERT INTO     caln
  VALUES (To_Date('01/08/1980','mm/dd/yyyy'),5);
  INSERT INTO     caln
  VALUES (To_Date('01/09/1980','mm/dd/yyyy'),6);
  INSERT INTO     caln
  VALUES (To_Date('01/10/1980','mm/dd/yyyy'),7);
  INSERT INTO     caln
  VALUES (To_Date('01/11/1980','mm/dd/yyyy'),8);
  INSERT INTO     caln
  VALUES (To_Date('01/12/1980','mm/dd/yyyy'),8);
  INSERT INTO     caln
  VALUES (To_Date('01/13/1980','mm/dd/yyyy'),8);
  INSERT INTO     caln
  VALUES (To_Date('01/14/1980','mm/dd/yyyy'),9);

  The table includes since 01/01/1980 but 31/12/2015.
  
  I have written (and validated) this parameter query that performs the calculation of my working day (mday):

  SELECT     cal.clndr_dt
  FROM     CALN cal
  ,     (
       SELECT     cal.shop_days+:mdays     AS new_shop_days
       FROM     CALN cal
       WHERE     cal.clndr_dt     =:start_date
       ) a
  WHERE     cal.shop_days     = a.new_shop_days
  AND     ROWNUM          =1
  ORDER BY     cal.clndr_dt;

  Based on this request, I created the following function (and I have no idea if it works or if the syntax is right, etc..):

  CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION add_mdays 
       (start_date     IN DATE,
       mdays          IN NUMBER(5))
  RETURN     DATE 
  IS
       new_date DATE;
  BEGIN
  
       SELECT     cal.clndr_dt
       FROM     CALN cal
       ,     (
            SELECT     cal.shop_days+mdays     AS new_shop_days
            FROM     CALN cal
            WHERE     cal.clndr_dt     =start_date
            ) a
       WHERE     cal.shop_days     = a.new_shop_days
       AND     ROWNUM          =1
       ORDER BY     cal.clndr_dt;
  
       RETURN     new_date;
  
  END add_mdays;  //edit 9:31 AM - noticed I left off this bit

  I'm also not sure how to do to have the function handle results that would return a date outside the range of dates that appear in the table (prior to 01/01/1980 or after until 31/12/2015 - or, another way to look at what was, before the caln.clndr_dt or the caln.clndr_dt MAX value MIN value).
  
  My goal is to be able to use the function in a situation similar to the following:
  
  First of all, here is a sample table and data:

  CREATE TABLE orders
  (     ord_no          NUMBER(5),
       plan_start_dt     DATE,
       CONSTRAINT orders_pk PRIMARY KEY (ord_no)
  );
  
  INSERT INTO orders
  VALUES (1,To_Date('01/08/1980','mm/dd/yyyy'));
  INSERT INTO orders
  VALUES (2,To_Date('01/09/1980','mm/dd/yyyy'));
  INSERT INTO orders
  VALUES (3,To_Date('01/10/1980','mm/dd/yyyy'));

  And here's how I would use my function:

  SELECT     orders.ord_no
  ,     orders.plan_start_dt
  ,     add_mdays(orders.plan_start_dt, -3) AS prep_date
  FROM     orders

  Thus, the function would allow me to come back, for each command in my table of orders, the date is 3 days working (mdays) before the start of the plan of each order.
  
  I go about it the right way? I have to create a function to do this, or is there a way for me to integrate my request (which makes my mday calculation) in the example query above (eliminating the need to create a function)?
  
  Thank you very much in advance!

  Hello

  Ah, referring to Oracle 8 and is not not able to test your own code makes me nostalgic for the good old days, when you have entered your cards and led to a window to the computer center and waited an hour for the work to be performed and then seen printing to find that you had made a typo.

  If you write functions, you should really test yourself. Like all codes, functions forge be written small not: write a line or two (or sometimes just a part of what would later become a single line), test, make sure it is running properly and repeat.
  Ideally, your employer must create a pattern of development in a development database that you can use.
  You can legally download your own instance of Oracle Express Edition free; just be careful not to use features that are not available in the database where the code will be deployed.

  You need a function to get the desired results:

  SELECT       o.ord_no
  ,       o.plan_start_dt
  ,       MIN (e.clndr_dt)     AS prep_date
  FROM       orders     o
  ,       caln          l
  ,       caln          e
  WHERE       l.clndr_dt     = o.plan_start_dt
  AND       e.shop_days     = l.shop_days - 3
  GROUP BY  o.ord_no
  ,            o.plan_start_dt
  ;
  

  It would be more effective (and somewhat simpler) If you've added a column (let's call it work_day) identified whether each line represents a work_day or not.
  For each value of shop_days, exactly 1 row will be considered as a working day.
  Then, the query may be something like:

  SELECT       o.ord_no
  ,       o.plan_start_dt
  ,       e.clndr_dt          AS prep_date
  FROM       orders     o
  ,       caln          l
  ,       caln          e
  WHERE       l.clndr_dt     = o.plan_start_dt
  AND       e.shop_days     = l.shop_days - 3
  AND       e.work_day     = 1
  ;
  

  You can use the analytic LAG function to populate the work_day column.

  A function would certainly be useful, although perhaps slower.

  The function you have posted has some errors:
  an argument can be stated under NUMBER (5); Just NUMBER.
  (b) when you SELECT in PL/SQL, as you do, you must SELECT a variable to store the results.
  (c) ROWNUM is arbitrary (making it useless in this problem) unless you draw a neat subquery. I don't think you can use ORDER BY in subqueries in Oracle 8. Use the ROW_NUMBER analytic function.
  (d) the service must end with an END statement.

  Given your current caln table, here's how I would write the function:

  CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION add_mdays
       ( start_date     IN           DATE          DEFAULT     SYSDATE,
         mdays          IN           NUMBER          DEFAULT     1
       )
  RETURN     DATE
  DETERMINISTIC
  IS
       --     add_mdays returns the DATE that is mdays working days
       --     after start_date.  (If mdays < 0, the DATE returned
       --     will be before start_date).
       --     Work days do not include Saturdays, Sundays or holidays
       --     as indicated in the caln table.
  
       new_date     DATE;          -- to be returned
  BEGIN
  
       SELECT     MIN (t.clndr_dt)
       INTO     new_date
       FROM     caln     f     -- f stands for "from"
       ,     caln     t     -- t stands for "to"
       WHERE     f.clndr_dt     = TRUNC (start_date)
       AND     t.shop_days     = f.shop_days + TRUNC (mdays)
       ;
  
       RETURN     new_date;
  END     add_mdays;
  /
  SHOW ERRORS
  

  Production code forge be robust (which includes "fool-proofing").
  Try to anticipate what people errors might appeal to your function and correct for them where possible.
  For example, if it only makes sense for start_date at midnight, mdays to be an integer, use TRUNC in the function where soembody passes a good value.
  Allow default arguments.
  Comment of your function. Put all comments within the service (i.e. after CREATION and before the END) so that they will remain in the data dictionary.
  If, given the same arguments, the function always returns the same value, mark it as DETERMINISTIC, for efficiency. This means that the system will remember the values transmitted rather than to call the function whenever it is said to.

  I wish I could score questions such as 'Correct' or 'useful '; you get 10 points for sure.
  You posted CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements (without even be begged).
  You gave a clear description of the problem, including the expected results.
  The code is well formatted and easy to read.
  All around, one of the more thoughtful and well written questions I've seen.
  Play well! Keep up the good work!

• Better export parameters for the intermediate to be edited later clips

  I shoot video see the long AVCHD of performances live and then cut in clips of song individual after having made a few alterations such as replacement and synchronization of audio from the mixing console, etc. I then export these area of work as individual files so I can work on it later as the addition of titles and fade ins and outs and tweaking the audio later. I then export as final files for any purpose I need like chapters BluRay or DVD, download YouTube, etc. The question I have is, what is the absolute best format to export these intermediate files such as full 1920 x 1080 to avoid recompression as much as possible? File size is not too much scrutiny at this stage since they usually have only a few minutes long and I want to retain as much quality as I can. I use CS4 PP and PP CS6-test on a new computer, I just built, and I think makes incredibly fast and exports compared to what I am used (just had to brag that)!

  Thank you

  Personally, I like either of these two lossless formats/CODECS:

  Lagarith Lossless

  UT Lossless

  Good luck

• Which is the best graphic card (fromNvidia) for the first and after?

  Hello, that is the question.

  Which is the best graphic card (fromNvidia) for the first and after? In order to improve the performance of preview and rendering time.

  It's the Gtx 970 good enough? or do I have to go to the 980ti?

  Is there any other better Nvidia in both these needs?

  I have these specs and I work in Full HD:

  I7 4900, 32 GB of ddr3 memory, ssd.

  Thank you in advance.

  I don't know about these two maps first, but AE the GPU makes very little difference at all.

  The current version of AE uses the GPU to very little. The ray-traced rendering engine is the only great thing that AE uses the GPU and this feature is now considered obsolete.

  That being said, if you are using third-party plugins for AE using the GPU (as, for example), it's a different story. For the element, I heard that the 970 GTX is the best bang for your buck; the 980-up would not be worth the price difference.

  Hello

  How would create parameters for the writedata function to populate the html code?

  Thank you

  You specify when you call the writedata function, so I guess it's in the function Get-Cluster.

  You can pass the object you create in the GetCluster function as a parameter.

  Try something like this

  Function GetCluster {
      & { foreach ($Datacenter in (Get-Datacenter)) {
              foreach ($Cluster in (Get-Cluster -Location $Datacenter)) {
                  $clusObj = New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property @{
                      vCenter = $Datacenter.Uid.Split("@")[1].Split(":")[0]
                      Datacenter = $Datacenter.Name                    Cluster = $Cluster.Name                    HAEnabled = $Cluster.HAEnabled                    DrsEnabled = $Cluster.DrsEnabled                    DrsMode = $Cluster.DrsMode
                  }
                  writedata $clusObj            }
          }
      }
  }
  
  # Function will compile the data passed from the GetCluster Function into HTML table format
  Function writedata {
      param ($object)
  
      $tableEntry = "$($object.vCenter)" +
          "$($object.Datacenter)" +        "$($object.Cluster)" +        "$($object.HAEnabled)" +

• Is it possible to edit Firefox context menu to the standard address for the displayed Web pages?

  Is it possible to edit Firefox context menu to the standard address for the displayed Web pages? Often, I want to save an image on a page. Sometimes I "slip" and press "Send Image" when I want to "Save Image under" and sit and wait for the default page - send an email to come, then shut up, juggling its dialog boxes "are you sure". It is a way of trying to manage a blunder. Basically I want an element directly from a page by email. Is it possible that I can simply remove "Send Image" from the context menu?

  It is possible with the Menu Editor extension:

• Making the best use of space for the quality by balancing the video bitrate and audio settings?

  I have a few questions about the first export still / encoding in encore. I am trying to create a dvd single layer, where I maximize overall quality using as much space as possible.  The video is 97 minutes, SD 720 x 480, 29.97 FPS and consists of interviews for the most part, as well as b-roll hd cameras and stills, rare title graphic card.

  1. I can use dynamic link to send the sequence that appears to maximize the space available, however I have heard that using DL is generally frowned upon and I myself cannot tell what settings it uses (for example vbr, 2 pass, etc.). Is my interpretation that DL is not the ideal way to go wrong? If DL is just as good as a separate output, is there a way to know what parameters it uses?

  2. I used a bitrate calculator and tried a Min: 3.5 target: 5.5 Max: 8 audio output PCM and I found myself having a little more than 400 MB of unused space. When someone recommended a Min: 5.5 target: 7 output Max 8.5 the file size is too large with a simple DVD layer. I read that it is recommended to use an exit instead of PCM, if the video is over an hour audio Dolby. My question is is it a best practice to balance needs of flow rates and audio and video? I realize, of course, by using more data PCM is 'better', but it is usually best to go on the road to dolby and have more space to increase your video bitrate? What is the audio difference type that requires a high-end system to discern? Y audio data loss is worth for the benefit of video bitrate higher?

  I know it's a lot, just trying to maximize space to get the best possible performance. Thanks for any help/advice you can provide.

  -Nick

  As most of my videos are closer to 2 hours usually, I always used Dolby Digital, PCM takes so much space and I prefer to use this space to increase video quality.

  Note that by default, if you import a .wav (PCM) file into Encore, it transcode automatically that Dolby, unless you have changed specifically the default settings of transcoding in Encore.

  A decent basis for coding rule is 560/minute = bitrate, so 560/97 = 5.77 and I usually just round off a little for menu overhead and margin of safety. This requires using Dolby to 192 k, so I would use 5.6 average bitrate.

  Thank you

• Export options for the screen display?

  I want to do a screening to export a lot of photos that will be visible on the phones, tablets, and TVs.

  1. is the best sRGB color for the on-screen display space?

  2. I'm culture images in 16 x 9. All the megapixels in these pictures are wasted for the display? I'll change the resolution to 72, well that what should I do with the megapixels?

  Thank you.

  It was not the case for a long time.

  A pixel is a pixel. 2000 pixels will be 2000 pixels to display. the question is that of the device. The native resolution of a in 20 Apple Cinema Display is 1680 x 1040 so a 2000 pixel wide image will be too large for the screen at 100%

  On the other hand, the iMac 5K has 5120 x 2880 the same 2000 pixel image would take less than half of the screen.

  The 'thumb' of 72 240 or 300 resolution concerns only thumbs on a sheet of paper, not a screen.

• Parameters for the LibraryCloneToWorkspace method obtaining internal.

  I would like to Clone/Checkout as a library to the workspace configuration. I was planning on only according to the external SOAP API for this work to see that the ConfigurationCheckout does not like announced (i.e. supposed to "remove a configuration library configuration and moves it to the workspace.") However, I get the error:

  {System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: expecting a row, got several lines for: SELECT * FROM BucketWithParent WHERE name = hand '-& gt;} Expecting a row, got several lines for: SELECT * FROM BucketWithParent WHERE name = hand '-& gt; Expecting a row, got several lines for: SELECT * FROM BucketWithParent WHERE name = hand '
  at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.ReadResponse (SoapClientMessage message, WebResponse response, Stream responseStream, Boolean asyncCall)
  at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.Invoke (String methodName, Object [] parameters)
  at VMWareConfiguration.LabManager.LabManagerSOAPinterface.ConfigurationCheckout (Int32 Id_de_configuration, string workspaceName)

  This is why I need to use the LibraryCloneToWorkspace internal SOAP method but can't seem to find the methods or the necessary objects in my LabManagerinternal namespace / partial class LabManagerSOAPinterface to find the parameters required for this method.

  How can I get the settings necessary to use the method of LibraryCloneToWorkspace internal SOAP, namely?

  -int LibraryID

  -int destWorkspaceId

  -CopyData [VMCopyData]

  Thanks for any help!

  The error that you received:

  "Waiting for a row, got several lines for: SELECT * FROM BucketWithParent WHERE name = hand '."

  This is because there are multiple workspaces named 'Hand', in different organizations. Apparently this API call does not limit the verification of working against the organization with that namespace name you authenticated.

  Rename your workspace to be something unique in the whole of all organizations (I renamed mine 'AutoDeploy' for the scripted area) and it will work.

  Anyone has an idea on how I can file this as a bug?

• Export parameters for H.264 "order of fields &amp; TV standart &amp; profile"?

  So, in first CC, when you export in H.264 format. There are these options in the video tab.

  Order of fields & TV standart & profile

  I have 2 questions

  Change in your video? and is it important in this day and age?

  (I know that he 'leave' mouse cursor on it, yellow box explaining but his technique ciberish for me)

  

  If works with 1080i, field order is important and must be set to HIGH.

  For 1080 p or 720 p, then of course it must be on PROGRESSIVE.

  You are right that 'NTSC or PAL' shouldn't really apply when it comes to HD formats, for the simple reason that NTSC and PAL refer specifically to the standard definition broadcast standards. However, the conditions have turned used to differentiate the NTSC and PAL framerate, 29.97 and 25 respectively, which still applies to HD formats.

  Regarding the profile parameter, which depends on the mode of delivery, if YouTube or Blu - ray or mobile or other device. I know of no rule general application in this area. I just use the presets suited my needs and let the profile be, since Adobe engineers should know the best setting for a given preset.

• the input parameters for the transitions

  Hi guys,.

  During the last two weeks I've come a long way to build my own custom transitions.

  Now I want my plugins have enter parameters such as: sliders, swatches, boxes and option/Pulldown menus, text boxes.

  The question is: How do I ? And how do I get access to these settings.

  The SDK example for the "simple video filter" doesn't seem to be compatible for a transition.

  And it also raises questions:

  If you would have to enter some parameters like this:

  paramsH = (filterParamsH)(*theData)->specsHandle;

  () csSDK_uint32) (* paramsH)-> color

  If you did, how you can access a shild pipette?

  So many questions, but probably so simple to do.

  Who can help out me?

  See you soon,.

  Jaap

  Hi Jaap,

  Great to hear that you are on the right track.  The transitional API does not offer many types of control integrated setting, compared to the API filter which has a little more and the effect of After Effects, which is very flexible API.  To add other parameters beyond the basic ones you see in the built-in Iris or a wipe transition, you will need your own modal dialog box installation using standard operating system calls.  Chained SDK sample displays a custom button that appears then a MessageBox based on Win or dialog box alerts under Mac.  It is the starting point for a Custom Installation dialog box.

  Kind regards

• Questions of parameters for the added control - project version

  Hello

  My fellow designer and FINALLY got version control/robosource 3.1 put in place on our Robohelp project. What a difference! Now, I have a few questions about the settings. We all have two connection to the Robohelp file shared on a server database. We would now have our a copy of the project on our local machines or not we keep a case on a shared server/player? I ask because our version control is originally Robohelp at startup and perform updates very, very slowly (20 minutes to start).

  I also, parameters marked to allow a user to check out a file at the same time (we are unwilling do a lot of fusion, as there's only two of us working on over 1,000 topics). When I try and import or create a new file, I get an error that the "* / root.fpj ' is in use and cannot have multiple extractions. What can I do about it?

  Thanks for your help!

  Hi, Mollyid

  Rick and Amebr have made some excellent points. It happens that I've worked on a few demos of Adobe Captivate, illustrating the basic techniques for the getting started with RoboSource Control.

  Each is approximately two to three minutes long.

  It shows how a new project is added to RoboSource Control for the first time:

  This one shows how Open a project that is already at the source control in your working on your local hard drive folder.

  I will be tweaking these demos in the coming days, but I think that they lay down the basic ideas.

  Suggestions for improvement are welcome as I refine these demos.

• Help with static IP address for the WRT54GL by EZXS55W

  Hi all!

  I'm having some trouble network at the office and cannot keep close internet for all the world just try a new mode of connection of the cables.

  We recently received a notice on five new static ip addresses for the office, we did turn on DHCP those for a year now.

  We have a basic network requiring no credentials of the modem or connection.

  At this moment we have a network cable straight from the network on the router (WRT54GL) failure. Then, the router is defined in gateway mode and uses one of our static Ip addresses.

  I wanted to connect my server to the same fault, but using the static IP address, so I thought why not do it through a switch.

  So the network failure, I ran the right network cable into the uplink on the switch (EZXS55W) connector and then put the router in port 1 and my server port2. Both connected with the right cables.

  The Internet light on the router does not light and the switch just flicker light now and then.

  Maybe someone here can help me how I should put up to get to the top and running, what do I have to configure something special on the router or maybe somewhere use twisted cables.

  Please I need your help!

  Thanks for the help and you where once there was something wrong along the way.
  I tested my switch before trying this, but apparently it is now broken.
  I borrowed another switch of a friend and everything was up and running in a few seconds.
  So now I just need to buy a new switch and everything will be fine.
  Once agan, thank you...
