Holographic computer the angry for Bill Gates, the beast will bleed and die... end of digital era, split of corporations into pieces, laser and new materials evolution.

2050 Nokia Follows...

"He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666." Revelation 13:16-18.

This is JavaScript, not Java. Totally different language.

Second, your function is named "Left" but you're trying to call a function named "left" which you presumably don't have. JavaScript is case-sensitive, so "Left" and "left" are not the same.

How to get the first 50 char from a string in Java (Mircea Goia)

Message by Mircea Goia on 5/11/2008 6:46:52 AM EST
I have this code (I'll post just partial because it's long)...

--------------
function Left(str, n){
if (n <= 0)
return "";
else if (n > String(str).length)
return str;
else
return String(str).substring(0,n);
}

function tooltip(which,where,e)
{

var dv = document.getElementById("WIDGET_TOOLTIP");

//calling the left function defined above
dv.innerHTML = left(descriptions[which],650) + '<br/><br/><br/>'+ dates[which] + '</p>';
var node = where;
...................... mode code................
----------------

But I get the error that "left is not defined"...what I'm doing wrong?

I'm trying to ge the first 50 characters from a string...

Thanks.

(2) You aren't *doing* a parameters refresh.

RE: how do you restore a MSSQL .BAK file? (AndrewSQLDBA)

Message by AndrewSQLDBA on 5/10/2008 8:57:27 PM EST
What you can do is truncate the log file and then shrink the database before you make your backup. I would almost bet that you have not done that lately, or before creating your backup. Truncate the log file and then shrink the database, and then create your backup, you will then see that the database will be much smaller in size.

You have to have SQL installed anywhere that you want to use that database. Why is your database and web server on the same box? That does not make sense to me. Not that it cannot be, it is just not normal to have one server doing both of those jobs.

First, thank you very much. This little nugget is interesting and now a lot of things are making sense:

>> Get rid of all of the INs and NOT INs you can. They're hogs.

I'm going to rework this query. If you spot anything else, please tell me.

I might need to post exactly what I'm trying to accomplish.

Automatic Saving (Michael Winner)

Message by Michael Winner on 5/10/2008 5:58:49 PM EST
Hello!
I'm working on a project, where my script is downloading a binary file and saving it on the server for further use. I'm able to download the file and place it in a byte array, however, I'm having troubles taking that information and saving it in a file on the server. If tried using this:

Response.ClearContent()
Response.ClearHeaders()
Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream"

But, this (along with other code) downloads the file on the users computer. Does anybody have any ideas? Any help would greatly be appreciated.

ps To get the file, I've been using:

Dim bytes() As Byte = myWebClient.UploadData("###.php", "POST", System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(toEF))
And it's working fine.

Thanks for clarifying. (geirhe)

Hmmm, I'l adapt that one too my dictionary. Looks greate when written. And I agree with you, IF this site was hacked, - that would be the day!

Message by Xanderno on 5/10/2008 5:39:08 PM EST
That your logic is most likely wrong. Either that, or you're not actually getting duplicate results back and it's just a needless performance hit. Either way, that should be removed.

It probably is doing table scans and looking at every row in the table. Most (maybe all?) queries that use NOT IN clauses do. Not only that, because of that huge sub-query, you're essentially doing all of the work *twice*. Do you really need that sub-query?

You should also get rid of any ORDER BY columns that you don't need. Do you really need to order by the idarticle in the sub-query? Do you really need to order by the sub_name? Do you need the sub-query at all?

Get rid of all of the INs and NOT INs you can. They're hogs.

A more minor point...Get rid of all the data you aren't using. You're joining on tables you never use in the sub-query. Are you really using all of those columns you SELECT? The x.items_id? The a.auth_id *and* the b.id AS AUTH_ID?

It's an abbreviation for... (Xanderno)

"Laughing out loud." I found it humorous to think that this relatively old and decrepit site would be hacked and the hacker would nefariously redirect certain URLs to a 404 handler on another site owned by the same company. :-)

Message by astralis on 5/10/2008 4:40:48 PM EST
I'm using a shared MSSQL Server 2000 that is 1GB and several of the queries are now starting to timeout. The host said although that size isn't huge but on a shared server it's too large and is causing issues. They gave me a trace file after letting it run for 15 minutes to identify some of the queries to make more efficient.

The worst one is this. I have indexes created and it has always run great until yesterday and I can't understand it. I can't even run this query once and then cache the results.

Is this query actually going through every row of the tables? This is what I thought the host said.

Any advice?

SELECT Distinct a.image_feature,a.idcategory,a.auth_id,a.idarticle,a.idsub,a.article_title,a.article_brief,a.article_image,a.article_date,a.article_author,x.items_id, b.ID AS AUTH_ID, b.name, b.auth_last, c.idcategory, c.category_name, s.idsub, s.sub_name
FROM (articles AS a
INNER JOIN article_x_Tags AS x ON a.idarticle=x.items_id)
INNER JOIN article_tags AS t ON x.tag_id=t.tag_id
INNER JOIN Subs as S ON a.idsub = s.idsub INNER JOIN Categories as c ON a.idcategory = c.idcategory
INNER JOIN tbl_users as B ON a.auth_id = b.ID
WHERE t.tag_name IN ('religious persecution')
AND a.article_active = 1
AND a.article_spero = 1
AND a.idcategory NOT IN (23)
AND a.idarticle NOT IN (15106)
AND a.article_date > '2/10/2008'
AND a.idarticle IN (SELECT TOP 2 a2.idarticle
FROM (articles AS a2
INNER JOIN article_x_Tags AS x2 ON a2.idarticle=x2.items_id)
INNER JOIN article_tags AS t2 ON x2.tag_id=t2.tag_id
INNER JOIN Subs as S2 ON a2.idsub = s2.idsub
INNER JOIN Categories as c2 ON a2.idcategory = c2.idcategory
INNER JOIN tbl_users as B2 ON a2.auth_id = b2.ID
WHERE a2.article_active = 1

AND t2.tag_name IN ('religious persecution')
ORDER BY a2.article_date DESC, a2.idarticle DESC )
ORDER BY s.sub_name, a.article_date DESC

What else can I do?

I like to clean mine up to the point that it passes the W3C validator (if you're using Firefox, get the Web Developer extension and this is a one-click check, even for local files) and I ignore anything else it tells me. Some of the warnings/errors are particularly stupid, like those that complain about casing of server-side tag attribute names that never get sent to the client anyway.
