• When I burn CD for my use on the computer, sometimes the order of the songs are returned, starting with the last song first.

  * Original title: Windows Media player

  When I burn CD for my use on the computer, sometimes the order of the songs are returned, starting with the last song first.  This is the CD, or I do something wrong?  This isn't an ongoing problem... most of the time it's ok.  Can I change the order manually. If Yes, where and how.

  Thank you

  Lee

  Lee - there are a number of possibilities. First of all, it depends whether you burn audio disks or data - if they are audio discs, you can check and rearrange the order of songs in the burn list - if necessary - before you start burning. If you drag multiple files to the burn list quite often the last track you clicked on will go upward, so I wonder if it is what can happen. Back with a little more detail if I not quite correctly interpreted the problem. Best regards, Ric.

  Before Oracle 9 it was true. Since you're using Oracle 10, you can if you wish; but I'm guessing that you don't want in this case.

  A WITH clause is an option?

  If possible, I don't want to put a selection in a database to display object and join against other queries.

  Yes, a WITH clause that is an option. Viewed online, as Zhxiang has shown, are another option. Either way gives you a regular display effect without creating a database object.

  You did not show a sample and the results, so no one can tell if a join is really what you want. Other possibilities include INTERSECT or an IN subquery.

  Q2. What is the difference between

  CONNECTION BY MGR PRIOR = EMPNO and

  CONNECT BY PRIOR EMPNO = MGR?

  can someone please help me here?

  Thank you

  Hello

  A CONNECT BY query looks like an operation UNION ALL of the data of different levels, numbered 1, 2, 3 and more.

  Level 1 is filled with the START WITH clause.

  If there are data on level N, then N + 1 level is filled, using the CONNECT BY clause, which generally refers to something on the N level via the PRIOR operator.  Another way to put it is that level N + 1 is filled by a self-join with lines that have already chosen the level N.

  If there is no data on the level of N, the query stops.

  Let's see how this applies to your queries.

  Level being such an important concept in CONNECT BY queries, you might want to see in all your CONNECT BY queries all test and debug the.

  1 query, including the level are:

  SELECT ename, empno, mgr

  LEVEL

  FROM scott.emp

  START WITH empno = 7839

  Empno = mgr PRIOR CONNECTION

  ;

  You will notice that I have re-arranged the CONNECT BY clause.  I find it a little more clear medium.  Of course, it never changes the results just if you say "x = y" or "y = x.

  The results, including the level, are:

  LEVEL OF ARCHBISHOP EMPNO, ENAME

  ---------- ---------- ---------- ----------

  7839 KING 1

  What happened to produce these results?

  First level 1 has been met using the START WITH clause.  Level 1 is identical to the results of

  SELECT ename, empno, mgr

  AS LEVEL 1

  FROM scott.emp

  WHERE empno = 7839 - same as your START WITH clause

  ;

  It happens to be only 1 row in the table scott.emp who met the empno = 7839 condition, and we show a few columns of this line.

  That's all that need the level 1.  Something has been on level 1, so we're trying now to complete level 2, using the CONNECT BY condition.

  Any line that is included in the level 2 meets the empno = mgr PREREQUISITE condition, where the PREVIOUS operator refers to a line of level 1.  In this case, there is only 1 row at level 1, this line gets to have a NULL mgr.  Given that PRIOR mgr is NULL in this case, the condition to connect BY

  EmpNo = mgr BEFORE equals

  EmpNo = NULL and who obviously won't be true for any line, so nothing is added to level 2, and ends the query.

  Now let's look at application 2.  I'll add another column of debugging, called path, which I'll describe later:

  SELECT ename, empno, mgr

  LEVEL

  , SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH (empno, "/") AS path

  FROM scott.emp

  START WITH mgr = 7839

  CONNECT BY PRIOR Mgr = empno

  LEVEL CONTROL

  path

  ;

  Output:

  EMPNO, ENAME MGR LEVEL PATH

  ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------------

  7566 7839 1 7566 JONES

  7698 7839 1 7698 BLAKE

  7782 7839 1 7782 CLARK

  7839 KING 2/7566/7839

  7839 KING 2/7698/7839

  7839 KING 2/7782/7839

  Again, we'll study how people got 1 level.  It happens to be 3 scott.emp lines that meet this condition START WITH, so there are 3 lines in the game at level 1.

  Given that the data on the level 1, the test of the query to complete level 2, referring to some PRIOR line on level 1.  Any line that meets the condition to connect BY, with a line any level 1 in the PREVIOUS line, will appear at level 2.

  Let's look at the line at level 1 where ename = 'JONES '.  Are there lines in sccott.emp that met the empno = mgr PREREQUISITE condition, where mgr PREREQUISITE is the column of Archbishop of the line with "JONES"?  Yes, there are one, the line with ename = 'KING', so that the rank is included at level 2.

  Let's look at the line at level 1 where ename = 'BLAKE '.  Are there lines in sccott.emp that met the empno = mgr PREREQUISITE condition, where mgr PREREQUISITE is the column of Archbishop of the line with "BLAKE"?  Yes, there are one, the line with ename = 'KING', so that the rank is included at level 2.

  Let's look at the line at level 1 where ename = 'CLARK '.  Are there lines in sccott.emp that met the empno = mgr PREREQUISITE condition, where mgr PREREQUISITE is the column of Archbishop of the line with 'CLARK '?  Yes, there are one, the line with ename = 'KING', so that the rank is included at level 2.

  There are thus 3 rows at level 2.  They happen to all be on the same line of the table emp; It is correct.  Remember, CONNECT BY is like a UNION ALL (not just a UNION).  It is a UNION of

  lines that are at level 1, because him meets the condition to BEGIN WITH, and

  lines that are at level 2 because puts it CONNECT BY condition regarding the 'JONES', and

  lines that are at level 2, because they meet the condition to connect BY regarding the "BLAKE", and

  lines that are at level 2, because they meet the condition to connect BY regarding the "CLARK".

  SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH can enlighten us on that.  SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH (empno, ' / ') shows the empno of each level that caused this line appears in the result set.  It's a delimited list /, where the nth element (i.e. the empno after bar oblique nth) is the empno who found the N level.

  Since there were data at level 2, the quert now trying to complete level 3.

  Is there all the rows in the table that satisfy the CONNECT BY condition (mgr PRIOR = empno) with respect to any line level 2?  No, Bishop is be NULL on all lines of level 2, so no line can satisfy this condition CONNECT BY, no lines are added at level 3, and ends the query.

  I hope that answers the question:

  Q1. What is actually happening in the result defines two queries. I'm not able to grasp the difference when I use START WITH empno = 7839 and START WITH mgr =. 7839

  I'll try to not be so detailed answering

  Q2. What is the difference between

  CONNECTION BY MGR PRIOR = EMPNO and

  CONNECT BY PRIOR EMPNO = MGR?

  These 2 CONNECT BY conditions are different where you put the PRIOR operator.  The operator PRIOR to switching as it change the direction, upward or downward, which move you through the tree you get from level to level.

  Bishop PRÉALABLE = empno means the employee on level N + 1 will be the same as the Manager of level N.  This means that higher level numbers will be the most senior people in the hierarchy.  This is called a query from the bottom up.  (Both of the queries that you have posted this same CONNECT BY exact state; both are requests from bottom to top).

  Mgr = empno PREREQUISITE or equivalent

  PRIOR empno = mgr means exactly the opposite.  When you move from level N to level N + 1 in the query, you will move to an older person, to a junior position in the hierarchy.  This is called a query from top to bottom.  The employee level N will be the Manager of wover is a level N + 1.

• Hierarchical connect by and start with and joined?

  I have an Employees table and a table of identifiers. The table of identifiers is hierarchical, with parents and children. Each employee has one or more identifiers, but that a unique identifier is considered to be the "primary" or root for each employee identifier. Unfortunately, the employee table can point to one of the children identifier lines and not the root. I need a quick query to reach employees with their most recent ID (root).
  
  Here's the code to define the problem.

  create table employees (employeeid varchar2(8), fakeNationalID varchar2(9), empname varchar2(30));
  insert into employees (employeeid, fakeNationalID, empname) values (1,'001000001','John Smith');
  insert into employees (employeeid, fakeNationalID, empname) values (2,'002000002','James Jones');
  
  create table realids (realidkey NUMBER, fakeNationalID VARCHAR2(9) not null, 
     realNationalID VARCHAR2(9) UNIQUE, parent_realidkey number);
  insert into realids (realidkey, fakeNationalID, realNationalID, parent_realidkey) values
     (1,'001000001','111111111',3);
  insert into realids (realidkey, fakeNationalID, realNationalID, parent_realidkey) values
     (2,'002000002','222222222',null);
  insert into realids (realidkey, fakeNationalID, realNationalID, parent_realidkey) values
     (3,'003000003','333333333',null);
  commit;   
  
  create or replace function get_parentid (fakeID in VARCHAR2) return varchar2 is
     tempid VARCHAR2(9);
     begin
        select realNationalID into tempid 
           from (
             select realNationalID, fakeNationalID
                from realids
                start with fakeNationalID = fakeID
                connect by nocycle prior parent_realidkey = realidkey
                order by level desc)
                where rownum = 1;
        return tempid;
        exception 
           when NO_DATA_FOUND then
              return NULL;
           when others then raise;
      end;
  
      
  select get_parentid('001000001') from dual; -- returns 333333333 because its linked to a parent
  select get_parentid('002000002') from dual; -- returns 222222222 because there is only one child
  select get_parentid('003000003') from dual; -- returns 333333333 because it is the parent

  What I want is to put the parent node above realids for each line of employees...
  
  It works, but it is NOT very effective:

  select employeeid, get_parentid(fakeNationalID) realid, empname from employees;
  employeeid   realid       empname
  ----------   -----------  ------------
  1            333333333     John Smith
  2            222222222     James Jones

  You can imagine what it would be like with 100K lines or more. It takes about 3 minutes to run.
  
  It seemed like a good way to do it, but with a sub query.

  select e.employeeid, e.fakenationalid, e.empname, sub.realnationalid
     from employees, 
        (select realidkey, fakenationalid, realnationalid, parent_realidkey
           from realids r
           start with r.fakenationalid = e.fakenationalid
           connect by prior r.parent_realidkey = r.realidkey) sub

  Unfortunately, it produces an invalid identifier on e.fakenationalid (in the beginning with the clause).
  
  Anyone has any ideas on how to get top most parent node of the realids for each row in the employees table? In real life, there are 6 or more employees tables across multiple remote instances of what children in the realids table and how much to the parents. We always want the highest parent of the page realid. Any help would be appreciated.

  Hello

  Thanks for posting the sample data in a convenient form!
  It is always useful to post your version of Oracle, too, especially when it comes with CONNECT BY queries.

  What follows is what you asked for in Oracle 10:

  WITH     got_roots   AS
  (
       SELECT     CONNECT_BY_ROOT     fakenationalid     AS leaf_id
       ,     realnationalid
       FROM     realids
       WHERE     CONNECT_BY_ISLEAF     = 1
       START WITH      fakenationalid IN ( SELECT  fakenationalid
                                            FROM    employees
                             )
       CONNECT BY     realidKEY     = PRIOR parent_realidkey
  )
  SELECT     e.employeeid
  ,     r.realnationalid
  ,     e.empname
  FROM     employees     e
  JOIN     got_roots     r     ON     r.leaf_id     = e.fakenationalid
  ;
  

  In any query, call a function defined by the user for each line is going to be slow. Fortunately, Oracle now has the built-in functions and operators that can take the place of get_parentid. The CONNECT_BY_ROOT operator, which was introduced in Oracle 10, is the key to the problem. In Oracle 9, you can get the same results using SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH.

  It is generally faster to CONNECT BY query separately, and then join some other tables you need for results.

  You had a good idea in your last query. The problem was that void and employees were equal tables in the FROM clause, and you cannot establish a correlation between equals. You can only correlate a subquery to its Super application. You could make to this general idea work by changing void in a scalar sub-requete, which can be connected to the employees, but I think it would be much less effective than what I posted above.

  If you don't have a user.js file, as I did not, then you can find this information in your profile folder prefs.js. To find this folder, click menu triple horizontal slash on Firefox button, then click the question mark at the bottom, then click "Troubleshooting information" and then click on "View file" next to the profile folder. At this point, you need to open the js file (prefs.js to me, maybe user.js for others) with Notepad.

  The entry "accessibility.typeaheadfind.casesensitive" cor - el mentioned above must be just off the top, and if "Match case" is highlighted then it should have a '1' beside him. You will need to close Firefox, then change 1 to 0 and save. When you restart Firefox "Case-sensitive" must return to being disabled.

• SOLVED: Why don't Satellite 4090XCDT does not start with DVD-R/W drive?

  Hello
  as I said in the other thread that has already been closed, I bought a used Satellite phone who would not start of 3rd party DVD - RW (Quanta Storage SDW-042) included, even if Windows couldn't read well enough.

  I found out why, starting with the help of the user answers in the other thread.

  In the user manual, there is a description in the capitel on the configuration of the system about tconfig, which proved to be a valuable indication: HDD = Primary IDE (1F0H/IRQ14) (...), CD = secondary IDE (170 H/IRQ15). Compared to my desktop, it seems to me that two readers need to be masters on no. 1 and no. 2 cable, not as master and slave on the same cable from HARD drive. So, my CD-ROM would probably be master.
  Then I did the research further into the issue and found out, that there is no CD-ROM where select things cable if they are master or slave. Then I found in
  http://www.dschen.de/laptop_brenner/ a note in his Toshiba Satellite Pro 4290, seemed to be no Cable Select and his planned book on the CD (or DVD player, he wants to use) as a master.
  CSEL means that 47 Pin is connected to the Earth, which he did by applying a drop of Tin from Pin 47 to 49, pine, which is also Pin 47. I tried the same thing and disassembled the DVD drive that was in my notebook. (My record to disassemble my laptop and all editing again properly is now gone in 50 minutes). And know what, my Satellite 4090XCDT can now boot from the DVD-RW!

  To perform the task, I needed a screwdriver of the watchmaker to open the DVD RW (three live, then you need to insert a PIN to open the tray and see the back), a 12 Volt type iron pin solder for SMD and I ordered the strap of welding with a stereo microscope, so this task is not negligible. See the link mentioned to know what pins are bridged (sorry, the website is in German but the picture is clear: in the top row of pines, only you can see, the 2nd and the third from the right). And of course with a replacement part "scrap", you could give your laptop a second life, but you run a risk, because you may not know what you have, master or slave (for firmware or hardware), broken in any case, select cable - and one other Web site indicates that they looked up to 17 variants of firmware in exactly the same drive , depending on what laptop, it was intended for use.

  Nice display. Thank you very much.

  you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

• Start with an external display in VISTA with an HP dv2000 laptop

  Hello

  My HP laptop screen is broken, so I need to use an external monitor. Unfortunately, the screen not active really up to what I'm going to connect to the page into account. This means that if I want to access bios, upgrade to a new operating system, or to do other things, I'm completely blind.

  Is it possible that I can get the operating system to start with my external monitor.

  Please note: I have a strong experience of PC and I'm decent to things like the change of systems. So feel free to suggest something dangerous or risky.

  Unfortunately, what you want to do is not possible.  The system should be launched before the second monitor is enabled (and you can't have the main monitor an external monitor on a laptop).  If you want to see what you do with stains where the disk hard operating system is not in use, you have no other choice than to repair your laptop screen (it does not cost much more and if you get only one monitor (and not the entire upper eyelid) you can replace exactly that and it shouldn't cost as much as a whole new lid (assuming it's the monitor that is the problem and not) (not something in the lid) anywhere near).  I did myself on my Dell and it wasn't easy by any means and I had to use tiny tools, I had not used in years (and if ever I need to do it again, I could just let a technician computer repair or Dell even myself worth) - but it can be done.

  There is no way to say BIOS (or something else) to use the external monitor as primary monitor - the controls are not there, and even if they were, the connections would be not activated by the system (and you cannot do it from the BiOS unless / until the system works).  You might be able to do the main monitor once the system is working, but not until then.  I appreciate your computer experience and a willingness to try something dangerous or risky, but it is not a question of who - it is just possible iisn can't with any Windows OS I know and probably other software of OS as well (and I'm not sure I would even suggest something dangerous - perhaps risky - even if I knew it would work because I'm tryng to help solve the problems and not cause) new or worse those).

  I would just bite the bullet and contact HP and get the laptopr fixed or at least get the part and try to do it yourself (a bit risky, difficult, time consuming and who need very small tools to accomplish if this can be done on a HP as it did on my Dell - you need HP technical support or parts if it is possible and that the difference in cost to ensure that it is possible) and useful effort).

  I'm sorry if this isn't what you wanted to hear, but it's like that.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!
