What is powershell and who should use it?

And who should never use it?

Hello charlieyoung,

Here are some links that you might find useful:

http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-GB/library/ee221100.aspx

As you're question "who should never use it?" the simple answer is someone who doesn't know what they're doing. As with any language command line you must have experience.

I personally never use, but then again I rarely use either command line. Well no, unless I have to solve a problem.

  • Order Windows 7 Home Premium requires me to enter if I want ISO 32-bit or 64-bit. What is a ISO and who should I chose?

    Help. in the middle of the download command and don't know the answer

    ordered the upgrade from windows vista to windows 7 Home premium. order requires me to enter if want to ISO 32-bit or 32 - bit. don't know what ISO extension. should what version I choose?

    An ISO file, often called an ISO image is an 'image' of a CD, DVD, or BD set. The entire contents of a disk can be perfectly represented in a single ISO file.

    ISO image files are often used to distribute large programs on the Internet, due to the fact that all the program files can be perfectly content in a single file - the ISO file.

    The most common way to use an ISO file is to burn the ISO to a CD, DVD or BD disc file.

    Once you download it burn to DVD. Click on the above "burn the ISO on a CD DVD or BD disc file" for instructions.

    Go to: Control Panel, system, here you will see your Type of system, either 32-bit or 64-bit operating system.

    ElviraKate,

    Thank you for using the Dell Community Forum.

    You can uninstall if you do not want to use this software. Here's what this software is intended for your computer.

    SyncUP desktop application is a service platform for Dell to the new generation of mobile phones. SyncUP allows the user to play music files, ideally more to manage and create playlists. The user can read photos and videos directly on the PC with all the convenience of a built-in player. SyncUP also allows the user to create their own collections of album for photos and videos. The user can get an overview of all collections in a slideshow mode.

    SyncUP automatically shrinks the video clips that require only a fraction of the storage space, video resolution dedicated to watch on a handset and also transcode to a format that is supported by your device. There is no need to worry about resolution format, codecs and video files.

    Taking the advantage of the iTunes integration of bookstores, the user can also read iTunes playlists and manage media content without running the two applications together.

  • Indexing and who should do it

    I work for a company that has a fairly large data warehouse Oracle that we use to store the SAP data dissemination (about 500 M of lines for some tables). Tables are not indexed and if I try to reach them on the query takes hours to complete. If the DBA needs to be proactive and create these indexes in order to reduce the load on the database?

    The team wants to load our 40 hours for 3 indices Department ADMINISTRATOR has already provided a script for. I'm naïve or y at - it something crazy to need 40 hours to implement 3 clues? I should mention that these tables is related to SAP and should be indexed to joined already IMO.

    I'm just trying to understand if I'm missing something.

    Thank you

    Creation of parallel indexing can reduce your time to create, but you must "alter index noparallel xyz" after its creation if you want really not parallel to this topic.

    Another impact on the creation of index how long does is how fast your hardware (processors, processor speed, speed of SAN etc.), but also what else is no running on the database in time using server resources.

    On an AIX Power 7-3 processor (quad core) production server it took me about 15 minutes to create an index on a table of 600 million lines running at the same time 8.

    On an AIX Power 5-4 Intel (quadruple-heart) test server it took about twice as long.  The SAN on production was super fast as well which had impact on how long it took.

    There are other factors that will affect the creation time.

    Specifically that I seriously doubt they can justify bill you for 40 hours.  It is unlikely that someone will run a script and then watching the screen for the next 40 hours waiting for the index to create... unless they are a bunch of clowns.  More than likely they run the script, go and do other things and periodically check to see if she has completed.

    Your IT team is having a laugh.  It should be fun to ask them to justify and to break the 40 hours.  minute to copy the script on the server, 30 seconds to go, 30 seconds to run the script.  39hrs, of 58 minutes watching the screen ready to create index at the end... Hmm... sounds fishy to me.

  • What is '.id3tags' and how to use it?

    Hello, I am a newb Lingo and could use some help. I am trying to get the metadata of MP3 files. The basics of what I'm trying to accomplish is the following:

    I have a text called cast member "title" and I want to make a script that will change the sprite .text property title in the name of the song.

    I look in the Lingo Dictionary and have stumbled on a property called ".id3tags". I think it could work, but I have no idea how to use.  I just want to be able to extract the ID3 tags of what song I import and display as text on the stage. If anyone can shed some light on this situation, I would be eternally grateful.

    Thank you

    You need to look at data returned - it's in the form of a list of properties. Regarding the property names, depending on who added the tags and how this has been done - I'm not sure that there is a 'standard' as such.

    Once the Member has preloaded (status = 2) you can question/run:

    put member("swa").id3tags

    and look in your message window for the list of properties (and property names that are)

  • My files are massive and who should change

    I apologize in advance if my question is stupid!

    I'm new to Premiere Pro, and I can honestly say that my 5 minute video is 14 GB +.

    I don't know I'm doing something wrong, but I am confused as to what.

    I tried to reduce the 'specifications' of my video by all means to reduce the tiny size, but he eventually became very bad.

    The full video details are:

    Width of the frame: 1280
    Height of frame: 720
    Data rate: 446956 kbps
    Total bitrate: 448492 kbps
    Frame rate: 60 fps

    AUDIO
    Bitrate: 1536 kbps
    Channels: 2 (stereo)
    Audio sample rate: 48 kHz

    Size: 14.4 GB

    In any case reduce the size without making too lower the quality?
    I know the data and throughput total seem monstrous.

    For the copy you post on YouTube, you will find that Premiere Pro and Adobe Media Encoder have a batch of presets optimized for YouTube. If you have CS6 or CC, then the easier to search for and select the ideal preset is to export the work of the SOUL, then type or paste 'youtube' in the browser predefined program. The info you have posted, you'll want one of the YouTube 720 p presets. What is not clear is how fast is ideal. Your first post said 60 fps; the second shows 50 images per second. And neither of them Specifies if it is interlaced or progressive. Most of the contents of 1280 x 720 are progressive, but you should check that.

    Regarding the copy to keep on your HARD drive, I'll leave to others here, counsel you.

  • index of output table and show what LOCAL indexes and who are

    I read the view of ALL_INDEXES here:
    http://www.Stanford.edu/dept/ITSS/docs/Oracle/10G/server.101/b10755/statviews_1061.htm
    But I still don't know how to query follows:

    1. display the name of the table, the index name and flag Y/N 'Is the local index' and a flag "is the overall index.

    The application should output table index and show what indexes are LOCAL and which are not.

    How to write this query?

    My original request:
    select table_name, Index_Name, Uniqueness, Partitioned, decode(Partitioned, 'NO', 'Global','Local') GlobalOrLocal from all_indexes
    where table_name = 'MyTABLE'
    2 I understand that global index for partitioned tables is a chunk of data referencing all the partitions table in the single room, but Local index is partitioned itself there are several parts each one or more partitions to reference table?

    That seems Ok to me.

    2 I understand that for partitioned tables index global is a big piece of data referencing all the partitions table in the single room,

    Yes.

    but the Local index is partitioned itself there several pieces for each reference one or several partitions table?

    Almost right: each refers to score exactly one table. I.e. index partitioning is 'aligned' with the partitioning of the table.
