This is a quick and small tip, but…. very useful.

If u download a podcast in your ipod/iphone… probably some day you’ll remove it.

To remove is easy…

• Go to the podcast you want to delete;
• Instead of selecting it, quickly swipe your finger across to the left or to the right;
• A delete button will appear;
• Delete.

If u have some problem, please… let me know.

update…. it works for e-mail too.

Hi everyone,

If you work with development, you’ll understand me… sometimes, your procedures must have optional params. It’s very common in languages like… VB, Java, C#, Progress ABL, and so on.

In T-Sql isn’t diff, and this is an example of optional params.
It’s just use =NULL in the param…

Proc
–DROP PROC DBO.AAA_TESTE
CREATE PROC DBO.AAA_TESTE
(@NUM1 INTEGER
,@NUM2 INTEGER
,@NUM3 INTEGER = NULL)
AS

IF @NUM3 IS NULL
BEGIN
SELECT @NUM1 + @NUM2
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SELECT @NUM1 + @NUM2 + @NUM3
END

Testing
EXEC AAA_TESTE 1,2
EXEC AAA_TESTE 1,2,1

Both scripts work, with 2 and with 3 params.

That’s all.

Hi all,

This post is about how to find a STRING in stored procedures and triggers.
This tip is VERY useful for those who works with T-SQL.

where
text like ‘%string%’

example
select distinct(object_name(id)) from syscomments
where
text like ‘%mytable%’

Segue um código para remover acentos de strings em progress… bem util.

Código
FUNCTION removeAcento RETURNS CHARACTER (INPUT pChar AS CHARACTER):
DEFINE VARIABLE iPos AS INTEGER NO-UNDO.
DO iPos = 1 TO LENGTH(pChar):
IF CAN-DO(“á,ã,â,à”,SUBSTRING(pChar,iPos,1)) THEN
ASSIGN SUBSTRING(pChar,iPos,1) = “a”.
END.

DO iPos = 1 TO LENGTH(pChar):
IF CAN-DO(“é,ê,è”,SUBSTRING(pChar,iPos,1)) THEN
ASSIGN SUBSTRING(pChar,iPos,1) = “e”.
END.

DO iPos = 1 TO LENGTH(pChar):
IF CAN-DO(“í,î,ì”,SUBSTRING(pChar,iPos,1)) THEN
ASSIGN SUBSTRING(pChar,iPos,1) = “i”.
END.

DO iPos = 1 TO LENGTH(pChar):
IF CAN-DO(“ó,õ,ô,ò”,SUBSTRING(pChar,iPos,1)) THEN
ASSIGN SUBSTRING(pChar,iPos,1) = “o”.
END.

DO iPos = 1 TO LENGTH(pChar):
IF CAN-DO(“ú,û,ù”,SUBSTRING(pChar,iPos,1)) THEN
ASSIGN SUBSTRING(pChar,iPos,1) = “u”.
END.

RETURN UPPER(pChar).

END FUNCTION.

Exemplo
MESSAGE removeAcento(“ÁCÁícáo”) VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX.

If your app access the Internet and you have a http proxy, probably you’ll need to set the proxy in your app.

It’s very simple…

Code
Properties systemSettings = System.getProperties();
systemSettings.put(“http.proxyHost”, “host”);
systemSettings.put(“http.proxyPort”, “port”);

Example
Properties systemSettings = System.getProperties();
systemSettings.put(“http.proxyHost”, “server22″);
systemSettings.put(“http.proxyPort”, “8080″);

Hi all,

Long time annnh?? lol
This post is about an alternative to select count(*) in Sql Server.
Usually the developers use it to count how many rows exists in a table.

Example
Select count(*) from users

SELECT o.NAME,
i.rowcnt
FROM sysindexes AS i
INNER JOIN sysobjects AS o ON i.id = o.id
WHERE i.indid < 2
AND o.NAME = ‘users’
