• Help-ColdFusion - allowing a user search for records in a database by entering a startand end date - (CREATEODBCDATE)

  I want to allow a user to enter a beginning date and to set the period they want to find records of members who have joined some end dates. Funny, it is... I got half of the working time. For example I have 4 folders between 26/10/2005 and 01/08/2006. When I enter 01/01/2005 as startDate and endDate 31/08/2006, I get 4 records. However, if I change the endDate to 09/01/2006 I get all records in the database! ??? Why is this? I can't get my head around it!
  
  Here is my code:
  First the code for the form for the user to input search criteria on:
  
  < html >
  < body >
  < action = "FORM memberJDateSearch.cfm" method = "post" > "
  
  < P > start date: < input type = "text" name = "startDate" >
  < br > End Date: < input type = "text" name = "endDate" >
  < input type is 'reset' value is 'Clear' >
  < input type = "submit" value = "Submit" >
  < / MAKE >
  
  < / body >
  < / html >
  
  Pretty simple. Now, the code of the page process and display:

  any ideas? Please help me.

  Try formatting your dates first (before the call to CreateODBCDate). I just tried this on my test page and it worked correctly. I removed calls DateFormat, now dates in your format, and it didn't work. See if something like the following will help you:

  
  
  
  SELECT *.
  Members
  WHERE ((joinDate BETWEEN #CreateODBCDate (startDate) # AND #CreateODBCDate (endDate) #))
  

• Stuck on a sql query to search for records that have the same parent child records

  Oracle 10 g 2 Enterprise Edition.
  
  Hello
  
  I'm writing a logic to find records in a parent table, who have the same values in a child table.
  This is part of a larger application, but I am stuck on that part for now, so I have mocked some of the below simplified tables to capture the heart of the
  the problem is that I'm stuck.
  Let's say I have a responsible parent, child employee table table and there are a number of many relationships between them.
  The aptly named Join_Table manages the relationship between them. If a manager can manage several employees, an employee can be managed by
  many managers.
  
  I have a feeling it's stupidly easy, but it seems to me having a bad episode of brain freeze today!

  -- parent table
  CREATE TABLE manager (
   id      number primary key,
   name      varchar2(100));
  
  -- child table 
  CREATE TABLE employee (
   id          number primary key,
   name      varchar2(100));
  
  -- link table
  CREATE TABLE join_table (
   manager_id          NUMBER, 
   employee_id      NUMBER,
   CONSTRAINT join_table_pk PRIMARY KEY (manager_id, employee_id),
   CONSTRAINT manager_fk FOREIGN KEY (manager_id) REFERENCES manager(id),
   CONSTRAINT employee_fk FOREIGN KEY (employee_id) REFERENCES employee(id) 
   );
  
  -- Insert some managers
  INSERT INTO manager (id, name) VALUES (1, 'John');
  INSERT INTO manager (id, name) VALUES (2, 'Bob');
  INSERT INTO manager (id, name) VALUES (3, 'Mary');
  INSERT INTO manager (id, name) VALUES (4, 'Sue');
  INSERT INTO manager (id, name) VALUES (5, 'Alan');
  INSERT INTO manager (id, name) VALUES (6, 'Mike');
  
  -- Insert some employees 
  INSERT INTO employee (id, name) VALUES (101, 'Paul');
  INSERT INTO employee (id, name) VALUES (102, 'Simon');
  INSERT INTO employee (id, name) VALUES (103, 'Ken');
  INSERT INTO employee (id, name) VALUES (104, 'Kevin');
  INSERT INTO employee (id, name) VALUES (105, 'Jack');
  INSERT INTO employee (id, name) VALUES (106, 'Jennifer');
  INSERT INTO employee (id, name) VALUES (107, 'Tim');
  
  -- Insert the links
  -- John manages Paul, Simon, Ken
  INSERT INTO join_table (manager_id, employee_id) VALUES (1, 101);

  INSERT INTO join_table (manager_id, employee_id) VALUES (2, 105);
  -- Mary manages Jennifer, Tim
  INSERT INTO join_table (manager_id, employee_id) VALUES (3, 106);
  INSERT INTO join_table (manager_id, employee_id) VALUES (3, 107);
  -- Sue manages Jennifer, Tim
  INSERT INTO join_table (manager_id, employee_id) VALUES (4, 106);
  INSERT INTO join_table (manager_id, employee_id) VALUES (4, 107);

  INSERT INTO join_table (manager_id, employee_id) VALUES (6, 102);
  INSERT INTO join_table (manager_id, employee_id) VALUES (6, 103);
  
  -- For sanity
  CREATE UNIQUE INDEX employee_name_uidx ON employee(name);

  If I ask for Manager John, so I want to find other managers who manage the exact list and even employees.
  Answer should be Mike.
  If I ask for Manager of Mary, the answer should be Sue.
  
  This query will give me the list of managers who manage some of the same employees as John, but not the same employees accurate...

  SELECT DISTINCT m.name AS manager
  FROM manager m, join_table jt, employee e
  WHERE m.id = jt.manager_id
  AND jt.employee_id = e.id
  AND e.id IN (
       SELECT e.id
       FROM manager m, join_table jt, employee e
       WHERE m.id = jt.manager_id
       AND jt.employee_id = e.id
       AND m.name = 'John')
  ORDER BY 1;

  I thought about using set operations to find managers with a list of employees less than my employees is null and where my employees under their list of employees is null. But there must be an easier way more elegant.
  Any ideas?
  BTW, I need to run as a batch on tables with > 20 million rows so the efficiency of queries is key.

  What about...

  WITH manager_list AS
  (
   SELECT name,
          LTRIM(MAX(SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH(id,','))
          KEEP (DENSE_RANK LAST ORDER BY curr),',') AS employees
   FROM   (SELECT m.name,
                  e.id,
                  ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY m.name ORDER BY e.id) AS curr,
                  ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY m.name ORDER BY e.id) -1 AS prev
           FROM   manager m,
                  join_table jt,
                  employee e
    WHERE m.id           = jt.manager_id
    AND   jt.employee_id = e.id
    AND   m.name = :P_MANAGER)
    GROUP BY name
    CONNECT BY prev = PRIOR curr AND name = PRIOR name
    START WITH curr = 1
  ), all_list AS
  (
   SELECT name,
          LTRIM(MAX(SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH(id,','))
          KEEP (DENSE_RANK LAST ORDER BY curr),',') AS employees
   FROM   (SELECT m.name,
                  e.id,
                  ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY m.name ORDER BY e.id) AS curr,
                  ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY m.name ORDER BY e.id) -1 AS prev
           FROM   manager m,
                  join_table jt,
                  employee e
    WHERE m.id           = jt.manager_id
    AND   jt.employee_id = e.id)
    GROUP BY name
    CONNECT BY prev = PRIOR curr AND name = PRIOR name
    START WITH curr = 1
  )
  SELECT a.*
  FROM   manager_list m,
         all_list a

• Search for records after (or before) a given date

  Hello
  
  I am trying to build a query based on a pa_credat from the given input date, the following logic must be applied:
  
  -Find the ID of the first (chronologically) record in a table where credat > = pa_credat.
  -If no such record exists, find the first record where credat < pa_credat. First of all mean closer here in the time of pa_credat.
  
  Consider the records in the table as a timeline. Since a certain date, I need to find the nearest registration or thereafter, and if there isn't, find the record closest before that date.
  
  I'm doing all this in a sql statement, but I think that it is neither elegant nor efficient (on a large data set):

  select objectid
  from ( select objectid
         from ( select objectid, credat
                from ( select objectid, credat
                       from   mytable
                       where  credat >= pa_credat 
                       order by credat asc )
                where  rownum = 1
                union all
                select objectid, credat
                from ( select objectid, credat
                       from   mytable
                       where  credat < pa_credat 
                       order by credat desc )
                where  rownum = 1 )
         order by credat desc )
  where rownum = 1

  Is there a better approach to this problem?
  
  Some examples of data:
  

  create table mytable
  ( objectid integer,
    credat   date );
  
  insert into mytable values (1,to_date('01-03-2011','DD-MM-YYYY'));
  insert into mytable values (2,to_date('02-03-2011','DD-MM-YYYY'));
  insert into mytable values (3,to_date('03-03-2011','DD-MM-YYYY'));
  insert into mytable values (4,to_date('04-03-2011','DD-MM-YYYY'));
  insert into mytable values (5,to_date('05-03-2011','DD-MM-YYYY'));
  insert into mytable values (6,to_date('06-03-2011','DD-MM-YYYY'));
  insert into mytable values (7,to_date('07-03-2011','DD-MM-YYYY'));

  The entry / the following output should
  
  01/01/2011-> objectid = 1
  03/01/2011-> objectid = 1
  03/03/2011-> objectid = 3
  04/01/2011-> objectid = 7
  
  My version of db is 10.2.0.4.0.
  
  Thank you very much!

  Thanks, I'll try that!

  Based on your suggestions that I came to the next solution

  select objectid
  from ( select objectid
  ,      row_number() over (order by sign(pa_credat-credat),abs(pa_credat-credat)) rn
  from   mytable )
  where  rn = 1;
  

  The rising sign order ensures that records with credat > pa_credat are first. The only problem is with the credat = pa_credat case... the sign = 0.

  Right; SIGN returns-1, 0 or 1, but you want to 0 sort before-1. You can use CASES or DECODE to return-2 instead of 0. That would leave the ORDER BY clause with
  

  • 2 expressions
    
  • 1 CASE or DECODE
    
  • 2 date arithmetic operations
    
  • 2 (SIGN and ABS) function calls
    
  
  Why would you want to do rather than what I posted, which contains
  
  • 2 expressions (ditto)
    
  • 1 CASE or DECODE (ditto)
    
  • 0 day of arithmetic operations (not 2)
    
  • function calls (not 2) 0
    
  
  ? Which means less coding? Which is more effective? Which seems easier to read and debug?

  There are several illusions here.

  First of all: SQL has a logic to three values: TRUE, FALSE and NULL. The result of any operator is TRUE or FALSE and that you can only search for NULL values explicitly using IS NULL.
  Second: You need the dynamic SQL statements: immediate execution or dbms_SQL. Your variable is a column name, not a constant, if you need to build a string that contains the required SQL statement and present the use execute sql immediately or dynamics.
  This will reduce scalability.
  Third: < function name > < some constant > = (column) will ensure that any index on < column > is not used.
  Usually, this will result in catastrophic performance.

• Search for expert advice for voice recording

  I am a beginner and have recorded some your. I have the basics down (find a room with a few surfaces parallel, porous as those foam are better still, quiet room etc.), I think, but I was wondering if someone had links to the most recommended that can make me watch an expert. Thanks in advance.

  The most important is the POLL as an expert.  Getting clear, strong and dynamic records depends on many factors.  Obviously, the environment is important: for voice over, you want a no reverberant without echoes, ambient background or outside noise.  (Things to look at include air conditioners, occupied by side corridors or above the recording room, etc..)

  You will need that a quality microphone suitable for recording voice, probably a good preamp and a quality audio device, quality cables receiving interference from power cords, phone cellular, etc..  You may or may not have a separate mixer, but which will certainly be useful in allowing your voice talent to hear himself talk through headphone monitors.  You will often want to run a separate bus their headphones with a small amount of reverb added to help distinguish what they hear through the headset of their own voice.  You will also need a pop shield between the speaker and the microphone and a microphone adjustable foot.

  Your talent is best to stand, maintaining good posture and a diaphragm open while they speak and will need to keep a constant of the microphone distance.  Give them water or tea, but avoid the liquid tights such as fruit juice or soda.

  Unless you have a mixer that support monitoring, you will not be able to monitor through the software when registering with Soundbooth.  If you are trying to implement a more robust recording environment, I would recommend to take a look at Adobe Audition 3.0.  There is a 30 day trial and you should be able to configure complex configurations with monitoring on-line, real-time effects, and the most advanced compression and cleaning tools.

  Good luck!

• The search for 'new' emails are NO emails unread.

  Organization of the emails through filters to specific subfolders to be completed successfully. However, if the records are NOT developed, you cannot see the 'new' emails unread. Thus, in order to 'find' where they are quickly, I try a search for 'new' emails. There is NO search condition for 'unread', so I'm looking for "new". Thunderbird apparently does not recognize emails unread as new.

• Months of searching for numbers on the sheet

  Hello all and thanks in advance.

  I have tabs at the top. DATA (sheet 1), JAN (sheet 2), FEB (record 3), etc. until the end of the year.

  Data sheet will be the months on the left now I want care to go to the form to correct month and takes the total of the column relative to the other leaves and place in the correct cell line. (I've been copy paste, but I know there is an easier way to do this, so I turn to the people who know the numbers unlike my lack of knowledge.)

  On the leaves of the month, I would also like to highlight the line that are sat and Sun.

  Thanks again everyone for their help.

  Hi, NN,.

  You will have a Table for each month. Each Table must have a different name. Your summary table lists more than 12 months, then I would say the table name from each month is named with the name of the month AND the year.

  The monthly tables may appear on separate sheets, or the same sheet. The key, as far as the formulae are concerned, is that each Table can be identified by its name.

  The following example includes only the table for April 2016, named "APR 2016", I assumed that the total line will be row 33 on each table of data collection, but wrote the formula to allow the placement of the line totals in other places. The lines for most of the actual days have been hidden and has not been designated, as these labels have no role in the operation of the formula.

  

  The TOTALS is defined as a footer line. The formula, in the columns showing a value is SUM (a) where 'a' is the letter of the column to be added. (The two values of zero have been entered manually for example).

  The table has a unique formula, entered in cell B3 and filled with right and until the last line for which there is a Table whose name corresponds to the label in column A. For example, the formula has been met only 3 online.

  B3: = INDEX (APRIL 2016: $A$ 1: $ 33, MATCH $N ("TOTALS", APRIL 2016: $A, 0), GAME ($ 1 B, APRIL 2016: $1: $1.0),)

  Syntax:

  INSTRUCTION (range,-l'index of the line, column-index, index of the surface)

  range: all of the cells in the source table

  the index of the line: the number of the start line to get the value. This is provided by the first statement of the GAME.

  the index of the column: the number of the column from which to get the value. This is provided by the second statement to MATCH.

  the index of the surface: omis. By default, 1. There is only 1 area of application of this INDEX, all of the source table.

  MATCH (image search-search for, - where - method)

  EQUIV function returns the position in the list of the search for value.

  First case:

  search for: TOTALS text

  search - where: column A of table source

  method): 0 means finding the exact value.

  Second case:

  search for: the text contained in the cell of line 1 of the specified column. That form is completed on the right, the increments of the column by one for each stage.

  search - where: line 1 of table source

  method): 0 means finding the exact value.

  The formula should be changed for each new line. Three references to "APR 2016" should be changed to match the name of the table to collect this row grand totals. Once edited in column A, the formula can be filled right and automatically adapts to his new position.

  Note: The duration value in column F of the table of the month wouldn't transfer and keep the same formula in column C of the summary table. Any attempt to restore the format to match your example resulted in a triangle of error.

• Search for files based on the flow

  Hi, I would like to be able to search for specific files mp3 and m4a files based on their bitrate, IE search for files with a bitrate to 128KBit.

  I don't know, but is it possible under Windows Vista, or do I need another tool to do?

  Thank you

  Hello trotskyicepick,

  Windows Search does not include a searchable property for the bitrate, but Windows Explorer can indicate the rate on view Mp3 files.  For example, you can sort and filter the search results by bit rate and group your files in this way.

  For example, if the files in question are in your folder of music and its subfolders, click music in the left pane of Windows Explorer.  Now paste this query into the search engine:

  ext:MP3

  Now, right-click on a column heading in the right pane and add the property of spleen in the view. Click the bitrate column header to sort the display rate.  Now click the drop down menu on the same header and choose "near CD quality' in the list.  This filter the search results so that only files recorded to 128 or more appear.

  Unfortunately, the Vista does not support the M4a format, so speeds of transmission of these files are not visible in Windows Explorer.

• Searching for names of files to search for content

  The search function in XP had an option so that on each individual search that you had an option to specify that you want to search in the contents of a file, but by default it would find the names of files only.  It looks in Windows 7, you cannot specify "names of files only" or "filenames and content" the on a per search basis , but it is now a Windows setting.  You go in the Tools menu of the Explorer and then Options records, then in the tab "Search", you choose one or the other radio button for 'What to look for', but this setting is now applied to all research.

  Is it possible to specify on a per search basis?

  Of course, just put the filename property before the words to search for:

  file name: SearchWords
