Re: [U2] lock records
Thanks all for your answer. I understand the issue, one phantom process only for lock management. But i don't know how to create and communicate with this phantom process. Could you explain a little bit or give me an example or URL? Thanks El mar, 25-07-2006 a las 13:09 -0400, Results escribis: Chuchi, Don't have the session lock them. Send the lock requests to a persistant phantom. It can do the locks and unlocks. You'd set it up like this: File: LOCK.QUEUE Program: ACQUIRE.LOCK - which asks the Phantom to lock an item by putting the details in the LOCK.QUEUE file. Program: RELEASE.LOCK - which asks the Phantom to unlock an item by putting the details in the LOCK.QUEUE file. Program: READ.THROUGH.LOCK - which asks the Phantom to read the locked item by putting the details in the LOCK.QUEUE file.

Re: [U2] lock records
Chuchi, This is the concept: File: LOCK.QUEUE Program: ACQUIRE.LOCK - which asks the Phantom to lock an item by putting the details in the LOCK.QUEUE file. SUBROUTINE ACQUIRE.LOCK(FileName,ItemName,SomeIdentifierForRequestingProcess) * Comments GOSUB OPEN.FILES ;* Open files you'll need to get started (i.e. LOCK.QUEUE) GOSUB INIT.VARS ;* Set up variables, like PORT.NO LQ.REC = 'ACQUIRE' LQ.REC2 = FileName LQ.REC3 = ItemName LQ.REC4 = SomeIdentifierForRequestingProcess LQ.ID = DATE():'*':TIME():'*':PORT.NO WRITE LQ.REC on LQ.FILE, LQ.ID STOP * Subroutines go here Program: RELEASE.LOCK - which asks the Phantom to unlock an item by putting the details in the LOCK.QUEUE file. Code is the same as above, except send 'RELEASE' instead of 'ACQUIRE' Program: READ.THROUGH.LOCK - which asks the Phantom to read the locked item by putting the details in the LOCK.QUEUE file. Code is the same as above, except you send 'READ' and add a variable to return the data. The phantom itself is just a Loop/Read LQ.REC/Do Acquire-Release-Read/Repeat. Anymore specific than this and I'd have to charge you for writing it. - Chuck chuchi wrote: Thanks all for your answer. I understand the issue, one phantom process only for lock management.

RE: [U2] RE: Multivalued datatypes considered harmful | The Register
This is our CTO at FusionWare Robert Houben's thoughts on the article. Robert is the Grandfather of ODBC, he created the first published ODBC driver outside of Microsoft and has been creating integration products for the Multivalue database since the early 80's, anyone remember PK Harmony. Enjoy! So here is the real problem. The author of the article explains why the multivalues make life so much easier for developers, then tries to explain why they are bad anyways. Here is the snippet where he does this: Fair enough. So let's look at an intensely practical reason why multi-valued fields are so bad. We query databases using SQL. The design of SQL is based entirely on the assumption that each column contains atomic values. If we run a normal SQL query against our single table solution: SELECT FName FROM CUSTOMER WHERE Hobby = Rollerball It will return zero rows; despite the fact that one of our customers plays rollerball, because there is no row with a field just containing rollerball. - end of quote - So this is the problem with his logic. The SQL SELECT statement was designed to work within the constraints of a single-valued first-normal-form environment. To predicate an argument against multivalues on the basis of a query language that assumes their non-existence is disingenuous. I'm surprised that a thinking person would do this. As *we* know, users can build very powerful, complex queries using the PICK LIST/SELECT syntax that accounts for multivalues, and the above observation is just plain bogus. There are other things wrong with the article, but the most compelling issue is that with the emergence of XML as a mechanism for processing complex data sets, multivalues have been reintroduced and are here to stay. If you look at it, both XPath and XQuery understand multivalues and allow you to build complex predicates that operate at the multi, sub, and sub-sub level. There are at this point MANY data environments where this takes place, including the DataSet object in ADO.NET and proprietary data objects from other vendors, which use XML as the underlying structure and allow nesting to take place. What Microsoft is doing with Access is simply to recognize the reality that many developers are already using XML to work around. The author's claim that we query data with SQL is no longer true. I would argue that XPath and XQuery are emerging as powerful, standards-based alternate query languages.

RE: [U2] lock records
A most useful mechanism (and much ignored) for controlling and communicating with PHANTOMS: LOCK n e.g. A Phantom process starts up and sets (for example) LOCK 1 to say it is running. If the lock attempt fails then the PHANTOM process is already running and it terminates. A controlling process wants to check if the PHANTOM is running - it tries to set LOCK 1 and if successful releases the lock and knows that it is not running. If the lock IS set then the PHANTOM is running. When the controlling process wished to shut the PHANTOM down then it sets LOCK 2 and goes into a loop (with limits and SLEEP2) and waits for LOCK 1 to be released: As part of its normal cycle the PHANTOM checks LOCK 2 at intervals. If the lock is gained then it is released (no action). If LOCK 2 is set however then the PHANTOM unsets LOCK 1 and self-terminates normally under full control (no kills / logoffs etc). The controlling process detects the clearing of LOCK 1 (by trying to set it in its watching loop) and unsets LOCK1 and LOCK 2 - end (happy bunnies). If the PHANTOM does not terminate within a set period then you may choose to escalate to a force logout or try again. They same technique can be used for driving communications or application events, and if you have a LOT of processes so that the number of LOCKs available is insufficient then you can allocate pairs of locks dynamically (i.e. not hard-coded in the programs) from the pool available (default 1 - 64). Just so long as the number of locks in use at any one time does not exceed the maximum number of locks available.

Re: [U2] Encrypt
PHP and perl. I can do the implementation if need be, but I'd rather use existing libraries if possible. For example, Universe provides a variety of DES (des, 3des) and RC encryption routines, and PHP and perl can use the mcrypt (e.g.: --with-mcyrpt on the configure line when building php, and with various packages found on cpan for perl). The issue is, the universe encrypt and the mcrypt give different resulting data for the same algorithm, passphrase, iv, crypt type (cbc, for example).
