• Application of self-join interview question?

  Hi guys!

  I asked this question in an interview for the job as a developer of database.

  I received a select based on symbol table and asked to drow the printout and then explain works step by step this statement.

  Here are the instructions create & insert

  /**********************************************/

  create table tbl (number x, y varchar2 (50));

  INSERT INTO tbl (x, y) VALUES ('A', 0);

  INSERT INTO tbl (x, y) VALUES (1, 'B');

  COMMIT;

  /***********************************************/

  Below the query (select statement)

  SELECT tbl1.x

  OF tbl tbl1 tbl2 tbl

  WHERE tbl1.x = 0 OR tbl2.x = 1;

  Please explain me the output and work step by step this statement...

  Thank you...

  Hello usman_noshahi,

  If you omit the where the query clause will result as below

  Optimization of joins

• JOIN the question... Join two tables without omitting lines

  I came across a problem that should be an easy fix (I hope), but I'm having a hard time to come up with a solution.

  Basically I have two tables, one with the actual amounts with the budget. I have to write a sql statement select that joins these tables together and includes all of their lines. I was able to join the tables by using JOIN, LEFT JOIN and RIGHT JOIN, but it always fails the lines I need.

  Below, I have examples of my tables (AMOUNT_TABLE and BUDGET_TABLE). For simplicity, I built the examples to show the same values in the first four columns, with the 5th and 6th columns (SUB_ACCOUNT, AMOUNT, BUDGET) as the only values that are different. My actual tables are not quite that simple, but I don't think it was relavent to this issue.

  AMOUNT_TABLE

  FISCAL_YEAR	PERIOD	ACCT_UNIT	ACCOUNT	SUB_ACCOUNT	AMOUNT
  2013

  111111555555000010020131111115555551000100201311111155555520001002013111111555555300010020131111115555554000100

  BUDGET_TABLE

  FISCAL_YEAR	PERIOD	ACCT_UNIT	ACCOUNT	SUB_ACCOUNT	BUDGET
  2013

  1111115555553000200201311111155555540002002013111111555555500020020131111115555556000200

  Here's what I hope. Note that SUB_ACCOUNTs 0000, 1000, and 2000 show without budget amounts since there is not a corresponding line in the BUDGET_TABLE. And same for SUB_ACCOUNTs 5000 and 6000, they show budgets with no amount because there is not a corresponding line in the AMOUNT_TABLE.

  (exit)

  FISCAL_YEAR	PERIOD	ACCT_UNIT	ACCOUNT	SUB_ACCOUNT	AMOUNT	BUDGET
  2013	1	11111	555555	0000	100	0
  2013	1	11111	555555	1000	100	0

  2013	1	11111	555555	6000	0	200

  If all goes well, my question is clear. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

• Beginner XML questions

  Hello

  First post on the forums in a long time and the first here altogether. I hope it's okay jump in.

  I have a little experience of FM not structured for several years ago and use Ventura (13 years) to my company's books (long directories - 3 000 + / volume). I made some scripts in Ventura have so little experience in programming.

  We are looking to switch to XML rather than text files tagged Ventura can import because of its lack of support, problems, perhaps due to Win7, and the effort required to maintain files to import. I downloaded the trial FM 11 and have been experimenting a bit with XML back and forth and also import what we already have in XML. If a bit I'm sure very simple questions. and thanks in advance:

  I was going through the tutorials from Adobe and everything I can find online. It seem not to be well reviewed books on Amazon that deal with structured FM 9-11. Some that look promising for XML are about 10 years old - I think not that our needs are sharp, so should I get something this old, or stay with most recent although we complain? Any recommendations? If I can get the hang of it with something that is not specific FM will be really difficult to adapt this knowledge to the FM band?

  I find EDD, DTD and schema to be rather confusing. Someone explain the difference in simple terms or direct me to a video, etc.? Assuming that I start with an XML file that is created in one other purpose, not meant to be FM, need more than one of them? Do you do first?

  Ventura if I want to have two separate data elements (off the coast of the database) on the same line, say a left-aligned with the other right aligned, programmers put both with a tab, and that is controlled by a tag paragraph in Ventura with a tab on the right. With XML, if I understand it correctly, you wouldn't do that in the XML file - I'm probably not ready to understand the method, I just want to know if this is possible without doing something like having paragraph of second properties point to have no line breaks. If so, where that would be appropriate, ESD, DTD, etc.?

  XML in FM can include inline graphics? What about an Excel chart?

  Thank you

  Gary

  Hi Gary,.

  a lot of questions, he

  But lets start with the first things first.

  For your general understanding: XML separates basically content layout. You can add metadata to the content by adding attributes to some semantic purposes or to include information for your page layout process (or any information that you feel should be here).

  XML is essentially made up of elements, attributes and entities. Those that are defined in a DTD or a schema. ESD does the same for the management of content structured in FM. To stuff FM back and forth into XML and vice versa, you will need both a DSP for handling in FM and the DTD or schema of XML processing. Basically the two similar at first, but ESD will be also some layout information included as well as routines to facilitate the production of structured content (so called context rules).

  The translation between XML and FM requires also some reading/writing-rules governing the specific elements of the FM and values to create "correct" XML files

  Your layout (-> master pages), styles of paragraph and character, etc. pre-set styles of paintings, graphics and so on, are stored in a template file, which is used when you import an XML file to the FM band.

  These are the basics that you are handling.

  Everything that affects page layout will be on the side of the FM of things (if you use it to publish stuff).

  Everything that affects the structure is mainly done on the DTD and the reading/writing-rules side (but has an equivalent in ESD).

  So, for your search:

  XML books who have 10 years maybe not the best choice, because they will probably have a lot of references to SGML, which doesn't help much. But some who are about 5 years old will do just fine - not much changed on the side of XML (unless you decide to use the XML schema).

  For FM11, it is preferable to use guides for FM9 (those are the most comprehensive) and use this forum.

  If you insured the most, I would say to book some consultant for training on the creation of ESD. This will help avoid a lot of frustration later and pays really fast off the coast.

  It can also provide answers to specific questions such as the ones you posted above (Yes, graphics work).

  Once your done with that, you need to do a search, if one of the XML flavors already established already meet your needs in general (I'm talking about DITA, DocBook, S1000D and others) or if you want to develop your own structure (which needs a mayor of brainstorming, but could better meet your needs).

• Release of FrameMaker XML question

  I have a problem with an attribute not be exported in XML format by FM8.

  Here is the excerpt of the DTD:

  <! ELEMENT std.table.header (+ std.table.row) >
  <! ATTLIST std.table.header
  CDATA #REQUIRED passes
  rowsep CDATA '1 '.
  >

  The first question I had was "collar" does not present as an attribute in the structured view. I solved it in question (with the help of MarttiP) by adding it to the EDD as shown below:

  Element (container): std.table.header
  General rule: std.table.row +.
  List of attributes
  Name: whole passes required

  Now I'll have is on the export of XML, the "collar" attribute is not exported and I get an error "required attribute"cols"unplanned". Any suggestions?

  Mike

  Add this rule to write:

  element 'std.table.header '.
  {
  is part of fm;
  "collar" attribute is the attribute of fm;
  }

  This replaces the built-in handling for the cols attribute without affecting the CALS tables.

• XML question: How do I search for children without grandchildren

  With an XML document:

  var xml =

  < root >

  < name L1 = "First" >

  < garbage / >

  < / L1 >

  < name L1 = "Second" >

  < garbage / >

  < / L1 >

  < / root >

  I need a XMLList tags < L1 > without their children, then the output should be:

  < name L1 = "First" >

  < name L2 = "Second" >

  Can someone help me with the syntaxt actionscript to accomplish this XML query? I could not find an example that does not return the children of the < L1 > tags as well.

  Thank you

  David

  Well, if you need exact release, you could use this line:

  trace (xml.toXMLString (match) (/<\s*L1.*?>/g) .join ('\n'));

  This approach much faster that doing redundant xmlfiltering + removal of garbage, hope this helps

• Performance of XML question

  Hi all

  I have the query in order to retrieve the xml values in the table using XMLTABLE. The XMLTABLE extract about 280 columns. It takes 30 seconds to give the output. How to tune this XML query? or what is the best way.

  DB version:

  ..) OUTPUT

  Thank you

  Fame

  OK, this could be problematic:

  XMLTYPE COLUMN CUSTXML STORE AS CLOB BASICFILE

  You can recreate the table like this:

  create table am_cust_ws_mb)

  xmltype custxml

  )

  custxml XMLType column store as xml binary securefile;

  and test again?

  Thanks for the inserts and create tables. Note that your insertions actually use varchars instead of dates you can fix this.

  For a query 1, you want to basically all the cars and the County of facts for the date of January 9, 2015? Actually-, it appears that you want only the cars with the service.

  If you say "Yes well ' so I don't undersatand not what you're having a problem with.  As I said already, you should check all the individual values, which means that you probably want to check in a loop.

  for (var i: uint = 0; i

  If (myXML.Message [i]. EventID == eventID) {}

  myTxt.Text = myXML.Message [i]. MessageName;

  }

  }

• JS - Can XML Question - I add attributes using Javascript?

  I want to add an attribute to an element tag, but I don't see how to do it programmatically. Is this possible? Also, is it possible to appoint a tag element dynamically? For example:

  How to add a child element is to use the appendChild as follows:

  XMLObject.appendChild(<childElement/>);
  XMLObject.childElement= "something";
  

  or just add it like this:

  XMLObject.childElement = "something";
  

  Right? (Side Question: is there a difference between these two methods?).

  What I want to do, is to add a dynamic attribute to a child named statically, or to create a child named dynamically.

  I could not understand this. Any ideas?

  Maybe take a look at Mozilla's E4X tutorial: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/E4X_Tutorial/

  There is no need eval() here. (There are usually not.) Use:

  XMLObject.appendChild(<{nameReference}/>);
  

  To add an attribute, you can use:

  XMLObject.@new_att = "the value";

• Very basic XML question

  I am currently using two tables to load a sequence of videos in 2 areas of the Flash animation.

  var zoneAarray:Array = new Array ("movie1.mp4", "movie2.mp4", "movie3.mp4");

  var zoneBarray:Array = new Array ("movie4.mp4", "movie5.mp4", "movie6.mp4");

  var clipA:String = zoneAarray [0];

  var clipNumberA:int = 0;

  var clipTotalA:int = zoneAarray.length-1;

  var clipB:String = zoneBarray [0];

  var clipNumberB:int = 0;

  var clipTotalB:int = zoneBarray.length-1;

  Everything works fine, but I would like to import the list of videos from an XML file instead of hard-coding it in Flash.
  TIA,-Eric

• Export XML question FM9

  Hello

  When you export to XML "File-Save as XML".

  FM exports all the information. Following is the display of the Structure:

  

  The XML output from this is:

  < ref >
  < Ref-installation-item id = "o00009-9-1230-783-00004" >
  < local link = "m00003-9-1230-783-00001" id = "m00003-9-1230-783-00001" > < / Ref-installation-point >.
  < Ref-installation-item id = 'o00009-9-1230-783-00007' >
  < local link = 's00001-9-1230-783-00050' id = ' s00001-9-1230-783-00050 "> < / Ref-installation-point >.
  < Ref-installation-item id = "o00009-9-1230-783-00010" >
  < local link = "o00031-9-1230-783-00001" id = "o00031-9-1230-783-00001" > < / Ref-installation-item > < / Ref > ".

  As you can see the text of 'link' element is missing and is not closed... any ideas?

  Of course - that would be my answer.  You don't need to force it to a frame of link - it can be treated as any other XML structure assuming that you have code that knows how to convert a link in HTML from the original XML structure.  Make a container and get rid of the rules R/W and it should come out just like the original DTD specification.

• Hierarchical XML question

  I have the XML code that looks like this:

  < name name = "myDB" >

  < name of directory = "database" path = "D:\database" >

  < name of directory = 'Nick' path = "D:\Nick" >

  < name of base = 'New' path = "D:\New" / >

  < name of base = 'Old' path = "D:\Old" / >

  < name of base = 'Blue' path = "D:\Blue" / >

  < / Book >

  < name of directory = "tmp" path = "D:\tmp" / >

  < name of base = 'News' path = "D:\News/ >"

  < name of base = "Example" path = "D:\Example/ >"

  < name of base = 'Set' path = "D:\Set/ >"

  < / Book >

  < / DatabaseList >

  What I want to do is to go through this last time so in a

  structure of the hierarchy tree that has only the items in the directory.

  Anything with "Database" must be eliminated. Imagine all

  < Database > stuff went. Of course, each element has

  many attributes, but that does nothing.

  I think I've exhausted everything with no good answer. The

  Replace() does not seem to do the trick.

  Any ideas out there? Thanks in advance.

  Try this:

  var xmlElement:XML;
  for each (xmlElement in myXML... Database)
  {
  If (xmlElement.name () is "Database")
  {
  xmlDeleteNode (xmlElement);
  }
  }

  And the function of xmlDeleteNode found here:

  private void xmlDeleteNode(xmlToDelete:XML):Boolean
  {
  var cn:XMLList = XMLList (xmlToDelete.parent ()) .children ();
      
  for (var i: Number = 0; i< cn.length()="" ;="" i++="">
  {
  If (cn [i] is xmlToDelete)
  {
  delete cn [i];
  Returns true;
  }
  }
     
  Returns false;
     
  }

  And it works!
