Re: Probability Selects
I think what he's trying to accomplish is not truly random, but to use the probability that's indicated in the second field of the table: 1, Aaron, 0.240 3, Abe, 0.006 13, Adrian, 0.069 So there would be a probability of 0.240 that the call returns Aaron, a probability of 0.006 that it returns Abe, and so on. I've no clue how to do this in SQL, though, save for the utter stupidity of creating a table that repeats each name (or UID, saves memory/disk) 1000*probability times, and do a random select on that (or 100* or 10* depending on how precise you need it). I'd not recommend it, though - it's gonna be a mess and a huge performance drain. I suspect this would be better done in code, but I've been out of coding (or statistics) for too long to give pointers there.

Don't forget shoppers may spend 30 minutes of more filling up their shopping cart and may lose the connection to the site or have to exit without completing the order. You need to retain the registered user's shopping cart so he can go back to it later. Only delete it if there is no activity on it for 7-10 days.

Help with export and import into Oracle
Good day guys I previously requested information regarding the exporting of data which needs to be imported into oracle. We are however still struggling with the data though and maybe someone can give me some ideas... It seems that one of the tables we need to export and import contains rows which is used for dropdown menus. This has the following effect: . Each item in the text field is added in the field by entering the country name then pressing enter and then entering the next, etc . When exporting the data to a file (even when enclosing each field within quotes) it still writes the control characters causing each item to be read as a different line and thus the import into Oracle fails. Any idea on how we can resolve this as the process needs to be cronned to run on a weekly basis and thus we need to get this process resolved. Your assistance is appreciated. Regards Machiel
