Ipad & Iphone Tips- 3

1.  You can access your camera immediately by swiping up on the little camera icon on the lock screen. This is very helpful if you want to take a picture of something happening quickly as it saves you from having to unlock your Iphone or Ipad, input your password, find the camera app and take the picture.
  

2. If you are at the bottom of a page you can scroll back to the top just by tapping the top of the screen near the digital clock. This is helpful for when you are at the bottom of a long article and want to get back to the top of the page with just one tap.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        3. When ending a sentence, instead of typing a period and then a space, just tap the space bar twice. The double tap of the space bar inserts a period, space and automatically capitalizes the next word.

Databases - Basics

In the previous post ( Databases Introduction )  we looked at different types of databases and simple concepts of tables. In this section, we will look at some basics of databases- tables, inner joins and outer joins. The syntax of SQL used here is for Oracle. However, it is very similar in all other databases such as MySQL, MS SQLServer, Postgres, etc.. Tables We will create two tables by using the SQL statements below:   create table customer (cust_id number(4,0) not null, customer_name varchar2(60) not null); create table invoice (invoice_id number(4) not null, cust_id number(4) not null , invoice_total number(10,2) default 0.00, paid_ind char(1)); In the first SQL we create the table called Customer with the column names cust_id and customer_name. Observe that we do not want to store null values in each of the columns in the customer table. In the second SQL we create the table invoice, which has its columns and also the cust_id column from the customer ...

Hibernate-Secondary Table Annotation..

When using Hibernate with annotation, SecondaryTable needs to be used carefully while using the Discriminator. We assume that there is a table called Inventory which is the parent table that has common elements including Id, createDate, modifiedDate, SKU#, and productType. The other tables, which are children of the Inventory table, are TV_Inventory, DVD_inventory etc.. In this example, we consider TV_Inventory which inherits from Inventory (in terms of objects). @Entity @Table(name = "INVENTORY") @Inheritance(strategy = InheritanceType.JOINED) @DiscriminatorColumn(name = "PRODUCT_TYPE", discriminatorType = DiscriminatorType.STRING, length = 20) @SequenceGenerator(name = "InventorySequence", sequenceName = "INV_SEQ", allocationSize = 1) public abstract class Inventory {  // getters and setters with other annotations for the columns and relevant methods. }   Consider the child object associated with the table TV_INVENTORY. The outli...
