It was my sis marrage the last weekend and i was on leave for a total of 5 days. The days were hectic, strainous and i remember sleeping with a strained back to the end of the day; esp the last two days. We used to sleep at night 12:30 and get up by 3:00 am. I hardly had any sleep and was feeling the tiredness.

At marrage we represent the brides side. In india its like this; almost 90% of the preparations/ arrangements are to be done by the bride side people and so so much of work. To the end of the day we used to take hard comments from people for some lapse in the arraignments. We never mided.. we hardly had any time to mind them.. we were just buldozing… and racing with time. It was more like suspense thriller for us.. lt was like the last ball between india and pakistan match which decides who will win!

Finally things settled; the hard time went by; and we were finally at home and we were ruminating the history; how things changed.. what will happen next.. how we failed.. what we should have had done… bla bla bla. It was a refreshing experience.

It was the next day; and I had to prepare for the office, but i could feel the freshness in me; the feeling “let it happen what every may happen. I will see it in the situation. Nothing to worry. Let time decide whats next… etc etc etc…”. what a refreshing thought! how nice! but what actually brought this difference? I realized its the break from the work.. the complete break.. i was in my own world.. fully occupied… completely outside office world.. Now i realize.. may be i need frequent breaks.. which can keep me occupied.. take me away from office… I liked the feeling.. and i think i will cherish it..

lets see how it goes.. what new experiences i will have now? these days i m googling for google groups which are on travel..

till further post.. Adios..

Getting db column size using JDBC

2011-12-22T10:36:00.001+05:30

Looking at ResultSetMetaData api below was my first approach to the problem.

    private static String getColDbType(Connection conn, String table, String col) throws Exception {
        String query = " select * from " + table + " where 2='9999'";
        Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
        ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(query);
        ResultSetMetaData rsmd = rs.getMetaData();
        try {
            for (int i = 1; i < rsmd.getColumnCount() + 1; i++) {
                String columnName = rsmd.getColumnName(i);
                if (columnName.equals(col)) {
                    String s = rsmd.getColumnTypeName(i);
                    if (s.equalsIgnoreCase("varchar")) {
                        s += "(" + rsmd.getPrecision(i) + ")";
                    }
                    return s;
                }
            }
            return null;
        } finally {
            rs.close();
            stmt.close();
        }
    }

However the column sizes were not accurate; googling helped me understand that ResultSetMetaData is in the context of the result set returned by the query and it need not reflect the actual table details. So below is the 2nd approach that finally worked. Tried this with MySQL 5.x db instance

    private static String getColDbType(Connection connection, String table, String col) throws Exception {
        DatabaseMetaData metadata = connection.getMetaData();
        int i = url.lastIndexOf("/") + 1;
        String schema = url.substring(i);
        ResultSet resultSet = metadata.getColumns(connection.getCatalog(), schema.trim(), table, col);
        while (resultSet.next()) {
            String name = resultSet.getString("COLUMN_NAME");
            String type = resultSet.getString("TYPE_NAME");
            int size = resultSet.getInt("COLUMN_SIZE");
            if (type.equalsIgnoreCase("varchar")) {
                return type + "(" + size + ")";
            }
            return type;
        }
        return null;
    }

Why should i support the T movement?

2011-10-06T00:08:00.001+05:30

No i wont! why? because i like andhra regions? Or because i love to see the state united? Or do i think telangana is very well developed that the jist of the moment is missing? NO. None of these!

At the core of this movement is the statement that Andhra guys are over ruling us/ Andhra is plundering our wealth/ Andhra guys are diverting our resources to them. Might be/ Might be not! I wouldnt debate on it. Recently when i came home my sister told they brought down our scluptures on tank bund. I felt so bad. I thought atleast one T guy would come forward saying they shouldn’t have done it. The incedent is very unfortunate. But to my surprise there wasnt even on such statement made. I was shocked. I felt like the complete T supports this.

This is very bad. According to me somebody doing mistake doesn’t give u the chance to do another mistake. If at all u dont agree then i would classify it as animal instinct. I somehow feel the movement is not healthy; the very base line itself.. i dont agree.. added the million march where they bring down the idols.

Quick from office

2011-10-05T23:51:00.001+05:30

Today i am early to home from office (@8 pm or so); I enjoyed it so much.. may be because such occasions hardly come?? i dont know.. I saw NGC/ discovery to my hearts content.. and finally few minutes back landed on face book to check the status… I feel so happy.. i feel so relieved.

@Office, things seem chaotic.. i was assigned an assignment.. and when i question back for clarifications.. i see pple are pissedoff… so i thought i will rather leave it there.. let them really fall short of time and then i will start off with the work.. whats the fun in proactively doing when there is nobody to appreciate it?

When ever i get some free time.. i just think.. what can i do now? i dont want to go after pple and ask for work.. can i investigate someting… do i remember something which i thought i will revisit in my past? should i surf for something??? infact this is how i discovered the google reader ( one of my fav and every day viewer).. i go around and check what others are doing/ up to…

Thats all for now… time to go to bed.. need to getup early tomorrow.. its Dusshera. Did i say this.. this time the festival is not lively.. its sad.. on one side the APSRTC is on strike.. govt already warned them they wouldnt get bonus/ they wouldnt be paid for the days they are on strike.. inspite of that they are on strike.. but why??? nobody knows! neither they comeout and declare their demands.. seems very un-healthy! State govt employees are also on strike.. and i heard they are repenting for loosing their Dushrrea bonus and 1/2 month salary.. but not sure if they are continuing on the strike. I am not sure how this will end finally.
