The system I'm working on builds a dynamic SQL string for execution inside a stored procedure, and part of that dynamic SQL defining column aliases, which themselves are actually values retrieved from another table of user generated data.
So, for example, the string might look something like;
SELECT table1.Col1 AS "This is an alias" FROM table1
This works fine. However, the value that is used for the alias can potentially contain a double quote character, which breaks the outer quotes. I thought that I could maybe escape double quotes inside the alias somehow, but I've had no luck figuring out how to do so. Backslash doesn't work, and using two double quotes in a row results in this error;
SQL Error: ORA-03001: unimplemented feature
03001. 00000 - "unimplemented feature"
*Cause: This feature is not implemented.
Has anyone had any experience with this issue before?
Cheers for any insight anyone has.
p.s. the quotes are needed around the aliases because they can contain spaces.

We have a Win32 project made with Delphi 2007, which hosts the .NET runtime and calls into .NET to show new forms, as part of a transition period.
Recently we've begun experiencing exceptions at seemingly random locations and points of our code: Arithmetic overflow or underflow.
The stack trace of one of these looks like this:
at System.Windows.Forms.UnsafeNativeMethods.DispatchMessageW(MSG& msg)

In the Visual Studio solution, one of the outmost class libraries (ie. pulls in all the references it can), has set a specific debug program, targetted for the Delphi project output. This allows us to debug .NET code from Visual Studio, even though the main bulk of the program is written in Delphi.
The problem only occurs when run from the debugger, not if we just run the exe file directly (either through explorer, shortcuts, or even Ctrl+F5 inside Visual Studio).
There's apparently no spyware on the machine (as hinted by [this](http://bytes.com/forum/thread106203.html)).

I'm not so confident. When I run this, Broker A always gets more hits than Broker D, and they have the same weight.
Is there a more accurate algorithm?

For example, there will be module for wombats WombatModule:IModule, where IModule interface has methods like GetCount() (to find number of wombats) and Update() (to update all wombats' state).
More object-oriented approach would be to have class for every item type and create an instance for every item. That will make class Wombat:IItem with methods like Update() (to update this one wombat).
From code perspective difference is negligible, but run-time is significantly different. Module-oriented solution is certainly faster: less object creation, easier to optimize operations common for all wombats.
Problems come when number of types and modules grow. Either you lose most of performance advantage because each module only supports several items, or modules' complexity grows to accomodate for slightly different items of one general type - say, fat and slim wombats. Or both.
At least once I've seen it degrade into poor state when all WombatModule does is keep a collection of hidden Wombat objects and run their methods in loop.
When performance is less of a problem than long-term development, can you identify any architectural reasons to use modules instead of per-item objects? May be there's another possibility I'm missing? | architecture | modeling | modularity | null | null | null | open | Architecture for modeling

Many of the more intensive operations behave deterministically and would lend themselves to parallel processing.
Provided I have a loop that iterates over a large number of data chunks arriving from the db and for each one call a deterministic function without side effects, how would I make it so that the program does not wait for the function to return but rather sets the next calls going, so they could be processed in parallel? A naive approach to demonstrate the principle would do me for now.
I have read Google's MapReduce paper and while I could use the overall principle in a number of places, I won't, for now, target large clusters, rather it's going to be a single multi-core or multi-CPU machine for version 1.0. So currently, I'm not sure if I can actually use the library or would have to roll a dumbed-down basic version myself.
I am at an early stage of the design process and so far I am targeting C-something (for the speed critical bits) and Python (for the productivity critical bits) as my languages. If there are compelling reasons, I might switch, but so far I am contented with my choice.
Please note that I'm aware of the fact that it might take longer to retrieve the next chunk from the database than to process the current one and the whole process would then be I/O-bound.

I was reviewing some code that a consultant checked in and notice they were using SQLCLR. I don't have any experience with it so thought I would research what it was about. I noticed that they used
Dim cn As New SqlConnection("server=LOCALHOST;integrated security=yes;database=" & sDb)
instead of

> Functions that use pointers or
> references to base classes must be
> able to use objects of derived classes
> with out knowing it.
At it's heart LSP is about interfaces and contracts as well as how to decided when to extend a class vs. use another strategy such as composition to achieve your goal.
The most effective way I have seen to illustrate this point was in <a href="http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596008673/index.html">Head First OOA&D</a>. They present a scenario where you are a developer on a project to build a framework for strategy games.
They present a class that represents a board that looks like this:
![Class Diagram][1]
All of the methods take X and Y coordinates as parameters to locate the tile position in the two dimensional array of Tiles. This will allow a game developer to manage units in the board during the course of the game.
The book goes on to change the requirements to say that the game frame work must also support 3d game boards to accommodate games that have flight. So a ThreeDBoard class is introduced that extends Board.
At first glace this seems like a good decision. Board provides both the Height and Width properties and ThreeDBoard provides the Z axis.
Where it breaks down is when you look at all the other members inherited from Board. The methods for AddUnit, GetTile, GetUnits and so on, all take both X and Y parameters in the Board class but the ThreeDBoard needs a Z parameter as well.
So you must implement those methods again with a Z parameter. The Z parameter has no context to the Board class and the inherited methods from the Board class lose their meaning. A unit of code attempting to use the ThreeDBoard class as it's base class Board would be very out of luck.
Maybe we should find another approach. Instead of extending Board, ThreeDBoard should be composed of Board objects. One Board object per unit of the Z axis.
This allows us to use good object oriented principals like encapsulation and reuse and doesn't violate LSP.

}
The code for the sample pages and JavaScript is [here][1]
Posting the code for the aspx pages here posed a problem. So please check the above link to see the code for the aspx pages
A web page (default.aspx) with an IFrame on that hosts a content page (content.aspx).
Clicking the “Serialize Object” button calls the JavaScript function serializeObject(). The serialization works fine for Array objects created in the top window (outside the frame). However if the array object is created in the IFrame, serialization bombs with an out of stack space error. I stepped through ASP.Net AJAX JS files and what I discovered is, the process goes into an endless loop trying to figure out the type of the array object. Endless call to Number.IsInstanceOf and pretty soon you get an out of stack error
Any ideas?

We all know T-SQL's string manipulation capabilities sometimes leaves much to be desired...
I have a numeric field that needs to be output in T-SQL as a right-aligned text column. Example:

EDIT: Note this is not a question of obtaining distinct values! Elements in my example are only "duplicated" if they occur sequentially in my array.
I have an array containing a set of strings. Within the array elements can be duplicated in two ways.
Consider this example;
[0] first line
[1] first line
[2] the two lines above are a duplicate and I want to remove one of them
[3] second line
[4] ...continued
[5] second line
[6] ...continued
[7] there is a duplicate in the four lines above and I want to remove one of them...
In this example I want to obtain an array minus elements [1], [5], and [6], resulting in;
[0] first line
[1] the two lines above are a duplicate and I want to remove one of them
[2] second line
[3] ...continued
[4] there is a duplicate in the four lines above and I want to remove one of them...
By default here is the approach I will take:
I would have an indexed loop over the elements peeking ahead to look for duplicates. If I found a duplicate I would mark one of them with a "remove me" token. When the loop ends I would then remove the marked elements. (If I removed elements while looping I would need to update the loop index, which would get messy and probably obscure the algorithm.)
Do you have any clever suggestions for a better approach?

Inside, there are three child DIVs: header, content and footer. Header is attached to the top of the parent and fills it horizontally. Footer is attached to the bottom of the parent and fills it horizontally too. Content is supposed to fill all the space between header and footer.
Now comes the hard part: you don't know the height of the header nor footer beforehand (eg. header and footer are filled dynamically). How to position content without using JavaScript?
Example:
<div style="position : relative; width : 200px; height : 200px; background-color : #e0e0ff; overflow : hidden;">

BTW: I want to be using PostgreSQL and/or MySQL as the backend database. Obviously, BLOB support in the underlying database is important. For the moment, I want to avoid focusing on the DB's BLOB capabilities; I'm more interested in how Rails itself reacts. Ideally, Rails should be hiding the details of the database from me, and so I should be able to switch from one to the other.

It seems to me like it would give you more options on how the methods are called, allowing you to use it in a fluent-interface-like style and I can't really think of any disadvantages since you don't have to do anything with the return value (even store it).
So suppose you're in a situation where you want to update an object and then return its current value.
instead of saying
myObj.Update();
var val = myObj.GetCurrentValue();
you will be able to combine the two lines to say
var val = myObj.Update().GetCurrentValue();
On a related note, what do you guys think of having the language include a new bit of syntactic sugar:
var val = myObj.Update()<.GetCurrentValue();
This operator would have a low order of precedence so myObj.Update() would execute first and then call GetCurrentValue() on myObj instead of the void return of Update.
Essentially I'm imagining an operator that will say "call the method on the right-hand side of the operator on the first valid object on the left". Any thoughts? | .net | fluent-interface | null | null | null | null | open | Is there any disadvantage to returning this instead of void?

I've used whatever the default FTP client is in windows, FileZilla and lftp. All without issue. The servers themselves aren't the same FTP server software from what I can tell. One is Microsoft FTP, the other I'm uncertain on but is definitely not Microsoft.
Any idea what could cause an FTP client to timeout when waiting for a LIST response on an empty directory? The visible responses from the FTP server appear to be the same, but is there a difference in how LIST responds for an empty directory that I'm unaware of?
This problem is consistent on these two servers. Everything functions fine on directories with files or subdirectories within it, but not when empty.
Any thoughts or directions would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Our business uses the WebMethods integration server to handle most of our outbound communications, and its FTP functionality leaves something to be desired. We are having a problem that may be specific to WebMethods, but if anyone can point me in a direction of what kinds of things might cause this I'd appreciate it.
When polling two of our partners' FTP servers, we connect without issue but, when doing a LIST on a directory that is empty (no files and no subdirectories) it's timing out. The actual error is:

One of the TabPages in the TabControl contains a ToolStrip. Frequently, the Windows Form designer will spontaneously set the Visible property of the Toolstrip to False. To get the toolstrip to reappear in my form, I have to manually find the control and set the property back to True. It's really annoying.
Does anyone know why this happens, or how to stop it? I've tried setting the minimum height of the control to a non-zero value, but that has no effect.
I'm using VS2008, VB.NET and the .Net framework 2.0, however I've struggled with this problem in VS2005 too, in several different applications. | vb.net | winforms | visual-studio | null | null | null | open | ToolStrips in TabPages frequently disappear from Windows Forms designer

I have a table for people who sent in resumes, and it has their email address in it...
I want to find out if any of these people have NOT signed up on the web site. The aspnet_Membership table has all the people who ARE signed up on the web site.
There are 9472 job seekers, with unique email addresses.
This query produces 1793 results:
select j.email from jobseeker j
join aspnet_Membership m on j.email = m.email
This suggests that there should be 7679 (9472-1793) emails of people who are not signed up on the web site. Since 1793 of them DID match, I would expect the rest of them DON'T match... but when I do the query for that, I get nothing!
Why is this query giving me nothing???
select j.email
from jobseeker j
where j.email not in (select email from aspnet_Membership)
I don't know how that could be not working - it basically says "show me all the emails which are IN the jobseeker table, but NOT IN the aspnet_Membership table... | sql | join | anti-join | null | null | null | open | Finding missing emails in SQL Server
