If I had my child to raise all over again
I’d finger paint more and point the finger less
I’d do less correcting and do more connecting
I’d take my eyes off my watch, and watch with my eyes
I would care to know less and know to care more
I’d take more hikes and fly more kites

I’d stop playing serious and seriously play
I’d run through more fields and gaze at more stars
I’d do more hugging and less tugging
I would be firm less often and affirm much more
I’d build self-esteem first and house later
I’d teach less about the love of power
And more about the power of love..

After my first hello world in blackberry, I tried another sample code to activate the BlackBerry flashlight. Everything goes fine on the simulator until I deploy it on my device. I got below error. “Attempts to access a security API error”

Since then, I just learn that the BlackBerry API set is subdivided into five classifications.

The first of these classifications is the set of “Open” APIs. These APIs include all standard Java APIs from MIDP and CLDC, as well as many BlackBerry-specific APIs. The open API set is, as the name implies, open for all developers. Applications developed that use only open APIs require no signatures.

I’m finally successfully configure my apps to connect to Oracle RAC.

As for my reference later, here is the connection string.

(DESCRIPTION_LIST=
(FAILOVER=true)
(LOAD_BALANCE=true)
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS= (PROTOCOL=TCP) (HOST=server1) (PORT=1521))
(CONNECT_DATA=
(SERVICE_NAME=orcl))
)
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS= (PROTOCOL=TCP) (HOST=server2) (PORT=1521))
(CONNECT_DATA=
(SERVICE_NAME=orcl))
)
)

JDBC URL will be something like this

jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION_LIST…)

In my post here , I write about connecting to MS-SQL Server. One of my reader/googler ask me about how to handle if let say the password or username are wrong.

Here is the way how to handle it. I think there are another way to do it but personally I find that, this is the easiest way to do it.

#include <ie.au3>
_IEErrorHandlerRegister()

$conn = ObjCreate( "ADODB.Connection" )
$DSN = "DRIVER={SQL Server};SERVER=MySvr;DATABASE=MyDB;UID=MyUser;PWD=MyPwd;"
$conn.Open($DSN)
if @Error Then
        MsgBox(0,"Error",$IEComErrorDescription)
Else
        $rs = ObjCreate( "ADODB.RecordSet" )
        $rs.Open( "SELECT @@VERSION AS myVersion", $conn )
        MsgBox(0, "AutoIT-SQL Result", "Value = " & $rs.Fields( "myVersion" ).Value )
EndIf
if IsObj($conn) Then $conn.close

That’s it. Till then..happy coding.
