ORDER BY RAND() with EclipseLink?

How to ORDER BY RAND() with EclipseLink?

* I want to run a MySql query that returns a randomly sorted collection...

You can do this by using a query Expression.

There is no direct support for rand(), but can be accessed using getFunction() or using fromLiteral(). getFunction() is normally used for functions that take one argument, then fromLiteral() can work better.
You can use getFunction() If you have set your own ExpressionOperator for rand().

That is to say
Query ReadAllQuery = new ReadAllQuery (Employee.class);
query.addOrdering (query.getExpressionBuilder () .fromLiteral ("RAND (), query.getExpressionBuilder ()));

You can also log a bug on EclipseLink rand() added support.

  • Can I connect a link more MXI for PXI-1033 card in order to work with it

    Ladies and gentlemen,

    Tell me please that I can plug a card of MXI link more in the PXI-1033 chassis in order to work with it.

    In other words, I don't use the built-in controller for MXI and want to work with the NI PXI-8366 MXI-Express and PXI-1033.

    Thank you.

    The answer to your question is no. The question that must be taken into consideration is the type of housing, we have access to on the PXI-1033. To use a PXI MXI card for control purposes in a PXI system, we need to use the card in a slot of system controller (denoted by a triangle around the number of slots on the chassis). With the 1033 however, we have no access to slots control. Because of the connection of controller MXI incorporated, we only have access to a calendar/trigger and devices slots.

    Is there a particular reason you don't want to use on the 1033 MXI connection, or you just want to avoid having to change the connection to another computer?  Single MXI cards which would depend on the space available on the PXI-1033 would be something along the lines of the 8367 and 8367, who are used to the Garland of a separate chassis.

  • order bipolar motors with usb DAC-NOR-6008

    Hi, I need help for an example vi that explaining how to order two bipolar stepper motors using the USB-OR-6008 data acquisition card, I have the engine drivers, can any body help me?

    you are more than welcome... OK, I've attached a vi that could help you... I will illustrate how to connect your driver for your usb data acquisition card.

    1. on the digital I / side P O/P of data acquisition is a 5V pin, connect it to the two 5V pins (pulse and Direction) of the driver.

    2 - 2 other pins (Pul - and Dir-) connect to port0/$line0 Pul-and port0 / line1 to dir.  (you can configure the ports like u as in the vi block diagram window).

    3. allow the PIN to activate it without a connection. (it is normally activated).

    for the connection of the motor: (do not connect these pins for data acquisition)

    It has 6 pins.

    first of all, you must know the motor coils wires, you could test with any counter AVO.

    1 - the first pin is connected to the mass of the battery.

    2 - the second pin to the positive pole of the battery.

    3, 4 the first whorl.

    5, 6 the second coil.

    Try it and I hope that I helped you, tell me if it worked.

  • HAVE ENGINE-701 mega order of Robotics with LabVIEW

    Hi, I am asking someone here had any experience working with the I-701 ENGINE?

    I'm new to programming, I am currenty working on the conversion of a C program header to control the engine mentioned above in LabVIEW and I met some problem. See the engine, according to the C program, receive the hexadecimal code for control.

    I translated part of the C program (only the function Rotate and SendOperaCommand, the SendOperCommand is a Subvi in the VI. According to my supervisor the rest are not required to be converted) in a LabVIEW vi. with the same order, sends the same hexadecimal codes however the engine does not respond. The original program in C and LabVIEW version that I've converted are attached to this post.

    Can someone watch the program and let me know if I made an error converting the program or perhaps the rest of the program is necessary to convert or maybe it's something that I don't know?

    You must use the VISA functions rather than obsolete functions serial port you have in it.

    In addition, there many Rube Goldberg constructions working with bytes.  Points of constraint because of the incorrect data type.  Your Subvi is not present, but just seems to take two bytes, adding the header and the checksum.  But without it, I can't tell if it's doing what it's supposed to, because all your code before which is the conversion of hexadecimal strings, rather than working directly with the bytes.  In addition, the Boolean functions work directly on numeric values.  No need to convert Boolean and back dies.

    The attached extract should be the same as your C code did (I have no way to test it), but with much less code.

  • Ordered a x12e with 240 processor... I hate him?

    I should receive a x120e Tuesday. I was not attentive to the choice of the processor when ordering, and I didn't know the CPU e 240 was one heart. I have however improved the memory to 3 GB. Now, I wonder if I'll be happy with this machine.

    I don't really plan to do a lot of heavy lifting with this laptop. mainly, I do some graphic light work (MS Publisher 2007), photo editing (photscape) and of course surfing on the light and by e-mail. I rarely these programs upward at the same time.

    I read reviews and unfortunately no one seems to have tried the processor 240 e. will be the core processor do case, or should I leave it without opening it, extract a RA # and return it with the e 350?

    The thing about an E-240 is that she has the same TDP as an E-350, but AMD did the stupid thing and he gimped with a slower processor than even an E-350.  Shading, there should not be a difference, but since AMD has not indicated the 1.6 GHz clock speed, you will be probably better served with an atom if you kept the E-240.  In addition, having two cores (or even two threads) will allow all background processes do not hinder any one thing that you could do and feel generally much more quickly than the upgrade of RAM that you have paid too much for

  • you place your order for WCS with MSE

    When ordering WCS with MSE, is that all that you need for WCS?

    WCS-STANDARD-K9 ($0) + WCS-MORE-500 ($44. 5 K)

    In the past, we ordered WCS-APLOC-500. WCS-PLUS-500 replace it?

    When you are not using MSE is WCS-APBASE-500?

    Yes, you just need standard + more to integrate with MSE. Plus also gives you high availability which is a nice feature. Most replaced Loc.

  • Order by date with a format mask column

    10g - 10.2.0

    Hello

    This is my request
    select to_char(exp_Date,'Mon-YYYY') dt, count(*) from exp_main
    where exp_type like 'Income%Photo%'
    group by to_char(exp_Date,'Mon-YYYY')
    order by exp_date
    
     
    When I run this I get: not a GROUP BY expression

    If I remove the order by, it works fine.

    Is it possible to order by since the output of the query is sorted character.

    I search online most suggested to use the order of column_name. But does not work for me.

    Thank you!

    Keep the date information as a DATE, with the exception (if required) for display. That means that GROUP BY and ORDER BY DATE, not a string:

                  , 'Mon-YYYY'

    ... I see no difference in the results for the moment.

    You can not, but you are not sure that you will never see a difference. There may be a difference if you change versions, or if you add more data, or for no apparent reason.

    If there is an ORDER BY clause in the main query (as in query 2) then the output is guaranteed to be in that order.
    Is there no ORDER BY clause in the main query (as in the query 1), then there is no guarantee that the lines will be in a particular order. If Oracle finds it convenient to display rows in order by one of the columns (for example, rn) then she will do. You can't count on it always does the same thing, unless there is an ORDER BY clause.

    You should check the ROW_NUMBER analytic function. It is much more useful and easier to understand, as ROWNUM. (In this example, it maybe not simple, however.)

  • ORDER BY clause with an expression

    As the column of names and table name is valid, what happening internally when the query is executed?

    SQL > SELECT STU_ID, STU_NAME FROM to STUDENT BY 2 + 3, STU_ID;

    What I discovered, was that the lines get sorted by ascending order of STU_ID. It is obvious that he does not know the expression 2 + 3, so my doubts are:

    (a) is he adding a pseudo-column to the table with 2 + 3 get discounted at 5?

    Select (b) if there is a 5th column among students of the table and specify us it in the select statement of the list (5 column names) then why not consider as 5 and sort the data according to that?

    (c) it is true that, any expression that we write is getting evaluated to null? Then - what is ORDER BY NULL refers to any order and if the Analyzer search name column or next position (if specified)?

    (d) If neither of the two, so what is the reason of ignorance?

    b is a pseudo-column adding to the table with 2 + 3 get discounted at 5

    There is no column pseduo involved. (Pseudo-colonnes are something that Oracle provides to you, without requiring you to specify what you want. Include ROWID and LEVEL pseudo-colonnes. In this example, 2 + 3 is an Expression . Like the pseudo-colonnes, expressions can usually appear in the ORDER BY clause, even if they are not actually stored in the table.)
    It is the first sort by the NUMBER 5 (= 2 + 3), not the 5th column. Since the NUMBER 5 has the same value on every row, every row relates to the forefront. The result of sorting by any constant is the same; the results are the same that besides as exrpression in the ORDER BY clause. This is the clause ORDER BY, that you have published is equivalent to

    ORDER BY  2 + 3
    ,         'foo'
    ,         SYSDATE
    ,         NULL
    ,         stu_id
    

    and this is also equivalent to

    ORDER BY  stu_id
    

    None of the expressions except stu_id vary from one line to the other, then none of them affect sorting.

    Select (b) if there is a 5th column among students of the table and specify us it in the select statement of the list (5 column names) then why not consider as 5 and sort the data according to that?

    As Solomon replied only literal numbers are taken to refer to a column. 5 is a literal number, then

    ORDER BY  5
    

    means "Sort by the 5th column", but 2 + 3 is not a literal (that is an expression that happens to include a couple of literals), so

    ORDER BY  2 + 3
    

    does not refer to the 5th colunmn.

    (c) it is true that, any expression that we write is getting evaluated to null? Then - what is ORDER BY NULL refers to any order and if the Analyzer search name column or next position (if specified)?

    No, when you way "ORDER BY x", the rows with values of x which come first, followed by the lines with higher values of x. lines having the same value of x will be together, in no particular order with respect to the other (unless there is an expression of failure later in the clause ORDER BY.
    This is exactly what happens when you say "ORDER BY NULL". NULL has the same value (in fact, the same lack of any value) on all lines, so all rows have the same value of x, and they will appear in no particular order.

    (d) If neither of the two, so what is the reason of ignorance?
