SQL Server database : Regular maintenance

If you are a DBA it is very important for you to know maintenance plan in SQL Server. Generally we use SQL Enterprise Manager to perform regular maintenance of SQL database.

The information below does not cover everything you can do to maintain your SQL database in SQL Enterprise Manager. Before you must See your SQL documentation for details on what else you can do to maintain your database.

Backing up the transaction log is not compatible with simple recovery. If you have multiple databases with different recovery models, you can create separate database maintenance plans for each recovery model. In this way you can include a step to backup your transaction logs only on the databases that do not use the simple recovery mode.

Change recovery model to simple

Simple recovery mode is recommended because it prevents the transaction logs from swelling. In simple recovery, once a checkpoint is complete, the transaction logs for the time before the checkpoint are dropped from the active database. A checkpoint automatically occurs when the backup is made. We recommend having a database maintenance plan that performs a backup of the ePO database, together with "Simple Recovery". In this way, once a backup is successfully created, the portion of the transaction log in the active database will be dropped as it is no longer needed since a backup file exists.

ER Diagram for a College System

The ER diagram refined to have an 'is-a' relationship. The simple conceptual tables can now be designed in such case as:

STUDENT (st-id, dob)
FULL-TIMEPROG (p-code, duration)
PART-TIMEPROG (p-code, duration)
REGISTERS (p-code, st-id)

In an educational institute, there are several departments and students belong to one of them. Each department has a unique department number, a name, a location, phone number and is headed by a professor.

•  Professors have a unique employee Id, name, phone number. We like to keep track of the following details 
• regarding students: name, unique roll number, sex,phone number, date of birth, age and one or more email addresses. 
•  Students have a local address consisting of the hostel name and the room number. They also have home address consisting of house number, street, city and PIN. It is assumed that all students reside in the hostels. 
• A course taught in a semester of the year is called a section. There can be several sections of the same course in a semester; these are identified by the section number. Each section is taught by a different professor and has its own timings and a room to meet. 
•  Students enroll for several sections in a semester. Each course has a name, number of credits and the department that offers it. A course may have other courses as prerequisites i.e, courses to be completed before it can be enrolled in. 
•  Professors also undertake research projects. These are sponsored by funding agencies and have a specific start date, end date and amount of money given. More than one professor can be involved in a project. Also a professor may be simultaneously working on several projects. A project has a unique projectId. 

Google APIs Client Library for Java developers

Google APIs Client Libraries & Tools team making available a Beta version of the open source Google HTTP Client Library for Java. This is the common HTTP client library. It features a pluggable HTTP transport abstraction that allows it to work seamlessly on any of the supported Java platforms, support for efficient JSON and XML data models for parsing and serialization, and a pluggable JSON and XML parser so you can use whatever works best for you.

Here is an example of how easy it is to use the OAuth 2.0 library to make a request using the library for the Google+ API:

// Set up the HTTP transport and JSON factory
HttpTransport httpTransport = new NetHttpTransport();
JsonFactory jsonFactory = new JacksonFactory();

// Set up OAuth 2.0 access of protected resources 
// using the refresh and access tokens, automatically 
// refreshing the access token when it expires
GoogleAccessProtectedResource requestInitializer =
    new GoogleAccessProtectedResource(accessToken, httpTransport,
    jsonFactory, clientId, clientSecret, refreshToken);

// Set up the main Google+ class
Plus plus = new Plus(httpTransport, requestInitializer, jsonFactory);

// Make a request to access your profile and display it to console
Person profile = plus.people().get("me").execute();
System.out.println("ID: " + profile.getId());
System.out.println("Name: " + profile.getDisplayName());
System.out.println("Image URL: " + profile.getImage().getUrl());
System.out.println("Profile URL: " + profile.getUrl());

Javascript to get URL of page

In my project, today i need to get the URL of the page, i used a small Javascript to implement it. In Javascript location object contains information about the current URL. It is supported by all the major browsers.
The location object is part of the window object and is accessed through the window.location property. Quite simple script to do this is :


<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
    document.write (document.location.href);
</script>

Properties of Location Object

hash	Returns the anchor portion of a URL
host	Returns the hostname and port of a URL
hostname	Returns the hostname of a URL
href	Returns the entire URL
pathname	Returns the path name of a URL
port	Returns the port number the server uses for a URL
protocol	Returns the protocol of a URL
search	Returns the query portion of a URL

Note : Please note that this won't work if you are using frames in your page.

Common ways to redirect website

However there are many ways to redirect website's but here are simple ways by examples, This question often comes in-front of you when giving interview for web designer or developer.

For this example I will use the website: http://www.domain.com
Let’s say this site is build in the folder: /folder/ we need a redirect from
DOMAIN to DOMAIN/FOLDER.

META Tags:
Create in the root of your domain an index.html and use a meta-refresh tag in the of your HTML.
This way of redirecting is according to W3C not so nice, and it also will have a delay.
You can set this delay, however I set it to 0.

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=http://www.domain.com/folder/" />

Link :
Not so nice, but to most accessible way, is to just create an empty index.html with an hyperlink
to your new folder.

Ruby: Unit Testing

Unit Testing is a great way to catch errors early in the development process, if you dedicate time to writing appropriate and useful tests. As in other languages, Ruby provides a framework in its standard library for setting up, organizing, and running tests called Test::Unit.

There are other very popular testing frameworks, rspec and cucumber come to mind.

Specifically, Test::Unit provides three basic functionalities:

1. A way to define basic pass/fail tests.
2. A way to gather like tests together and run them as a group.
3. Tools for running single tests or whole groups of tests.

Writing a UNIT TEST 
require 'test/unit'

class Person
attr_accessor :first_name, :last_name, :age

def initialize(first_name, last_name, age)
raise ArgumentError, "Invalid age: #{age}" unless age > 0
@first_name, @last_name, @age = first_name, last_name, age
end

How to add +1 button to Wordpress

Google has made adding the +1 button fairly simple, but we wanted to provide self-hosted WordPress.org users with a quick walkthrough of the process of adding and enabling the +1 button to their site and their blog posts. We’re sure that dozens of +1 plugins will be available in the next few days, but in the meantime, this is what you need to do.

---

Step 1: Add a Line of JavaScript to Your Theme Files

---

The +1 button tool page lays out what webmasters need to add to their website. For users who have a standard XHTML website (or are using Tumblr), copying and pasting the following java script. before the </body> tag on a website works just fine.
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js”></script>
Simply Go to the Appearances section in the WordPress dashboard and select “editor.” Then find the footer.php file in your template listing. Scan through the file until you see the area marked </body>, then paste in the JavaScript line.
Hit update and you’re ready for step two!

---

Step 2: Add a Button to Your Sidebar

---

After the JavaScript snippet has been added to your website, users can paste the <g:plusone></g:plusone><g:plusone></g:plusone> wherever they want a button to appear. Using the +1 button tool, you can configure the button size and include other advanced options.
Another common use for the +1 button, besides on individual blog posts, will likely be in sidebar widgets on a homepage. This can act as a nice, generic hub for +1 activity.
To add the +1 button to a sidebar in WordPress (assuming your theme supports sidebars), simply go to the Appearances section in the Dashboard and select “Widgets.”
We’ll assume that you want to create a new widget for the +1 button, but other sidebar widgets can also be customized to display the button.

How well you know Interactive Ruby Shell?

The Interactive Ruby Shell, more commonly known as IRB, is one of Ruby's most popular features, especially with new developers. You can bash out a one-liner, try a method you've just learned about, or even build a small algorithm or two without going the whole way to writing a complete program.

I've started learning ruby, so while I've been digging through some of the best content I can find on IRB learning all about its internals and ways to get more out of it and big thanks to all of those guys who contributed great knowledge on web, thought I should share some of best contents gathered :

Try out some trick in your IRB console:

irb> Kernel.methods.each do |method| puts method; system "/usr/local/bin/ri --no-pager Kernel##{method}"; ch = STDIN.getc; break if (ch.chr == 'q') end

Once you enter this just keep hit enter until you want to quit, at that point hit ‘q’ and enter.

How to clear IRB console ?

On Mac OS X or Linux you can use Ctrl + L to clear the IRB screen. But in windows i don't know how but yes i know the dos command 'cls' which clears screen. so simply i'm calling this command using system.
