SQL SELECT Clause Order Cheat Sheet & Other Opinionated Site Building Tips

Gregory Milby — Mon, 11 Apr 2011 12:47:13 +0000

Have you ever been building a SQL statement, and tried to remember which order your, “ORDER BY” goes in. This short quick reference saves me some time – it’s not difficult, but if you’re like me, and do not use it everyday – it’s cumbersome to remember.

These are the “mostly used” statements:

FROM (Table to retrieve data from)

WHERE (Row-level filtering) 

GROUP BY (Group specification)

HAVING (Group-level filtering)

ORDER BY (Output sort order)

If anyone is interested, i’ll post the rest of my notes here on SQL(?). The order varies some depending upon use. Another useful item of interest is that the SQL (“mostly-regardless” of the flavor [mysql, mongo, oracle/etc...]), is that they all speak ‘SQL’. That may sound redundant, but it is actually interesting to start discovering the approaches that are implemented that all basically ‘do the same thing’ or ‘place higher priorities on certain operations’.

Once you learn what each flavor of SQL is doing, what their design goal was, it’s interesting to learn you may be using something totally overkill for a simple purpose. In most cases for a small production website, SQL Lite may be perfectly acceptable for lower traffic/connection sites (which are the vast majority of all sites on the web). Some ‘family-type- websites have even been known to use flat-text files.

The downside to using a larger-scale SQL solution is that most people do not use it correctly in the first place. That’s fine to use it, but it’s kind of like driving a NASCAR to the supermarket. Just because you “have and use” more power, doesn’t make it faster for the end client/customer. A basic website (3-10 pages), using Apache, NGINX, Lighttpd (webservers), along with basic HTML(preferably HTML5 + CSS3), and maybe jQuery (if you need some pzazz), is more than enough for the basic website. It’s fast, secure, presentable, and allows the author to maintain their focus (do what they were trying to do in the first place [get their message onto the web]).

If your goal is to see how much horse power you can use – see how flashy and widgetized you can get, then you’re missing the point of web development on the internet. It’s cool to use the latest thing, but it’s cooler to get your message understood. Even if your message is to sell something, save a puppy from being put down, or getting your beliefs/blogging your experiences. If your page loads quickly, is easy to read, is obvious what you expect the reader to ‘get from your web presence’, then you and your web page reader/browser will enjoy a good relationship.

15 Best Of The Best Windows 7 Tips & Tricks

Gregory Milby — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 15:58:56 +0000

Windows 7 has even won the hearts of the opensource crowd (tough bunch to please), and getting the most out of this new version of Windows seems to be something almost everyone is interested in:

Windows 7 may be Microsoft’s most anticipated product ever. It builds on Windows Vista’s positives, and eliminates many of that OS’s negatives. It adds new functionality, too – together in a non-piggish/process UN-intensive package.

1. A useful way to track problems… imagine that? Record Problems. The Problem Steps Recorder (PSR) is a great new feature that helps in troubleshooting a system (see Figure 1). At times, Remote Assistance may not be possible. However, if a person types psr in their Instant Search, it will launch the recorder. Now they can perform the actions needed to recreate the problem and each click will record the screen and the step. They can even add comments. Once complete, the PSR compiles the whole thing into an MHTML file and zips it up so that it can be e-mailed for analysis to the network admin (or family problem solver, depending on how it’s being used).

Figure 1 The Problem Steps Recorder dramatically speeds up troubleshooting. (Click the image for a larger view)

2. Make Training Videos. Use a tool like Camtasia to record short, two to three minute video tutorials to help your users find relocated features, operate the new Taskbar and so forth. Animations are now easily implemented into a web environment with any variety of html/editor tools.

3. “UPGRADES ARE BAD”. Consider Clean Installs. Even when upgrading Windows Vista machines, consider a clean install rather than an in-place upgrade. Yes, it’s more hassle, but it’ll produce a more trouble-free computer in the long run.

4. Find New Tools. Within Control Panel is a single Troubleshooting link that leads you to all of your diagnostic tools on the system. There are additional tools, however, not installed by default. Selecting the “View all” link in the top left-hand corner will help you to see which troubleshooting packs are local and which ones are online. If you find a tool that you don’t have, you can grab it from here.

5. *An amazing benefit if you are a developer or want to see how your projects will be viewed in other operating systems. Understand Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI). Windows 7 plays an important role in Microsoft’s VDI strategy, where virtualized Windows 7 machines are hosted on a central virtualization server using a special blanket “Enterprise Centralized Desktop” license. Read up and figure out if you can take advantage of this new strategy.

6. Get Snippy (better than Snag-it/Hyperionics hypersnap, imho). The snipping tool has also been around in various incarnations but it’s even easier to use in Windows 7. Launch the tool, then drag and drop any part of your screen. The tool will snip the selection. You can save it as a graphic file or annotate with basic drawing tools. Teach your end users how to use this tool so they can grab the snapshots of their problems and send them to the help desk. Or create your own library of visual notes or drag into outlook for quick details that only can be more easily explained with an image.

7. Click & Drool Administrator. Windows 7 makes it easy to gain admin rights with a keyboard shortcut. Click on Ctrl+Shift on a taskbar-locked icon, and voila! You’ve launched it with appropriate admin rights.

8. Burn Discs with a Click. Or two; double-click an ISO file to burn it to your CD or DVD writer (*Really, 1 click….).

9. Configure User Account Control (UAC). Even if you’re a UAC hater, give it another try. Go to the Control Panel to configure its behavior to something slightly less obnoxious than what Windows Vista had, and see if you can’t live with the extra protection it offers.

10. Simplify Cloned Machine Setups. You can’t run Sysinternals’ newsid utility to change the identity of a cloned Windows 7 machine (either a virtual machine or imaged PC). Instead, create a template installation then run sysprep /oobe /generalize /reboot /shutdown /unattend:scriptfile. Clone or copy this virtual machine file. When it launches, it will get a new SID and you can fill in the name. The reference for building unattended script files is at tinyurl.com/winunattend.

11. Manage Passwords. Control Panel includes a new application called Credential Manager. This may appear to be a completely new tool that allows you to save your credentials (usernames and passwords) for Web sites you log into and other resources you connect to (such as other systems). Those credentials are saved in the Windows Vault, which can be backed up and restored. However, you might see this as similar to a tool we have in XP and Vista. From the Instant Search, type in control /userpasswords2 and you will be brought to the Advanced User Accounts Control Panel, where you can also manage passwords for your account.

The Credential Manager provides a handy, secure place to store passwords.

12. Analyze Processes. One of the coolest new features in the revamped Resource Monitor (resmon) is the ability to see the “wait chain traversal.” An unresponsive process will be shown in red in the Resource Monitor; right-click the process and choose Analyze Process. This will show the threads in the process and see who holds the resources that are holding up the process itself. You can then kill that part of the process if you like.

13. Create Virtual Worlds. Virtualization capability has been added to the Disk Management tools. If you open Computer Management, go to the Disk Manager tool and then click the Action button at top, you will see the options Create VHD and/or Attach VHD. This allows you to create and mount a virtual hard drive directly from within the GUI. Note: With Windows 7 you even have the ability to boot a Windows 7 VHD.

Windows 7 adds a great deal of virtualization support, including the ability to create and attach virtual hard drives from the GUI.

14. Encrypt USB Sticks. Use BitLocker To Go. Maybe you’ve managed to never misplace or lose a USB key, but for the rest of us mere mortals, it’s a fact of life. Most of the time it’s no big deal, but what if it contains sensitive data? BitLocker To Go enables you to encrypt data on removable storage devices with a password or a digital certificate stored on a smart card.

15. The 14 Best Windows 7 Keyboard Shortcuts

The Windows key now performs a wide variety of functions. Here are a handful of the most useful ones:
Win+h – Move current window to full screen
Win+i – Restore current full screen window to normal size or minimize current window if not full screen
Win+Shift+arrow – Move current window to alternate screen
Win+D – Minimize all windows and show the desktop
Win+E – Launch Explorer with Computer as the focus
Win+F – Launch a search window
Win+G – Cycle through gadgets
Win+L – Lock the desktop
Win+M – Minimize the current window
Win+R – Open the Run window
Win+T – Cycle through task bar opening Aero Peek for each running item
Win+U – Open the Ease of Use center
Win+Space – Aero Peek the desktop
Ctrl+Win+Tab – Open persistent task selection window, roll mouse over each icon to preview item and minimize others

Free Software Give-Away – Enter Today!

Gregory Milby — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 22:35:58 +0000

Anyone who knows me, knows that I do not endorse many things, and the things I endorse are usually freeware or opensource. Despite my warnings, my wife and all of our friends & family use windows as their primary operating system. Yours truly is the designated help desk for any and all emergencies.
During the past 4 years (that’s about 20+ virus & trojan emergencies [per year]), I stumbled across a product that actually works as described. It’s rare to find something that completely works, but I’ve yet to find anything malware, spyware, trojan issue that this software cannot handle – COMPLETELY HANDLE and REMOVE.

During some conversations with the Marketing Director (Mike Duncan), we decided to share the experience by offering a free PROFESSIONAL license for the product – which carries a life time subscription (hence, no surprises later). We will be awarding one license per month for the next three months. You need to enter each month in order to be eligible. If you would like to register for a chance to win one of the free lifetime license keys – click on the following link:

Enter The SUPERANTISPYWARE Give-Away

The best part is that you can try this software for free, “NOW” and they even offer a free version. The free version offers some limited features & does not offer the proactive features, but it still will removes ALL of the malware, spyware, and trojans. It just will not self-update, run 24/7/365 and do scheduled scans/remove all the bad things automatically like the professional version does.
If you decide to try the freeware version, there is no nagware – no aggrivating things asking for your information/etc. Either way you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the experience, and more importantly you’ll be shocked at what it finds & removes from your system.

SQLDeveloper For People Who Can’t Afford Expensive DB IDE’s

Gregory Milby — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 13:39:59 +0000

If you are looking for a POWERFUL database tool – this may be the way to go. Installing in windows is a click and drool endeavour, but installing in ‘buntu’ (Ubuntu or Kubuntu) is another story.

These no non-sense instructions will get you going quickly:

Linux/Ubuntu/Kubuntu requires that the Sun Java 6 JDK be installed on your system. Install it by typing: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

To download the installable package, navigate to Oracle’s SQL Developer download page at:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/sql/index.html

You can only download after you agree to the OTN License Agreement for SQL Developer at the top of the page (look for radio buttons). Choose the Accept License Agreement radio button.

Scroll down and select the package entitled ‘Oracle SQL Developer RPM for Linux’ to download the package. Don’t worry – we’ll deal with the RPM shortly.

If you’re in a hurry, and want to skip the compile process, then download the .DEB form here Syrbot SQLDeveloepr.deb Download

Compiling:
Next we need to convert the .rpm to a .deb to install it in Ubuntu. We’ll do this by using an application called ‘alien’. Install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install alien

Next, in a terminal session, browse to where you saved the SQL Developer .rpm package and type:
sudo alien -k –scripts sqldeveloper*(insert the version number)*.rpm

This will create a .deb package ready to be installed into our system. We do so by typing:
sudo dpkg -i sqldeveloper*.deb

Oracle SQL Developer is now installed, but you will need to create the profile directory in order to run it (the hidden folder in your home directory e.g. .sqldeveloper

Below, each directory had to be created individually, chowned to me (since mkdir is a sudo operation), then chmod to 777 to allow the system user to write in the files to the directory.
the folder labeled system1.5.5.59.69 will change as version numbers change – so pay attention.

Looking at the message we can see that it’s trying to obtain the JDK path by reading a file called ‘jdk’ in a directory called ‘~/.sqldeveloper’. Let’s resolve this dependency.

First we’ll create the missing directory by typing:
mkdir -p ~/.sqldeveloper

Next we’ll create an empty jdk file by typing:
touch ~/.sqldeveloper/jdk

Edit this file and input the path to the JDK by typing:
gedit ~/.sqldeveloper/jdk
and pasting into it:
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun

gmilby@gmilby-ubuntu64:~$ ~/.sqldeveloper/system1.5.5.59.69/o.ide/diagnostics$


gmilby@gmilby-ubuntu64:~$ sudo chown gmilby.gmilby -Rf .sqldeveloper

gmilby@gmilby-ubuntu64:~$ sudo chmod 777 -Rf .sqldeveloper

Once the profile path is created you should be able to launch SQLDeveloper via the menu (Applications/Programming), or by terminal window, typing, “sqldeveloper“.

Good Luck with this and post your comments below – we’re always open to improvements in the process.

A Tale Of Two Template Engines – How Frameworks Speed Up Development

Gregory Milby — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 13:55:37 +0000

Frameworks are best known for giving a developer an abreviated environment, where they can create basic pages with minimal effort. How these frameworks are laid out greatly differ, but the logic is usually the similar by replacing content variables/markers in the inner array and using the framework to provide the infrastructure information like the header/footer/sidebar.

TemplateBlocks & LIME:VC appear to be the two latest entries on the block. TemplateBlocks uses a segmented design that holds the “pieces” of each design template in a set/template so that a collection of objects are the template (e.g. CSS, JS, HTML bits and pieces). It greatly speeds things up by allowing the user to merely naming a page, adding some content, then selecting which template to use (template being used in the appearance realm). The only difficulty that I’ve noticed is implementing customized script, but the basic items are included and it works fine as long as you are familiar with .htaccess or not maintaining many virtual instances on your apache install.

The TemplateBlocks Admin Panel is probably the strongest element to the application. It is well organized and very simple to use. The only criticism I have is that the template sets are all displayed together – if you have a set named “Default” – when you go to the blocks page, ALL of the objects from every template set are thrown in the mix. It would be helpful if the assigned attributes were marked or sorted by which template they’re associated with.

I’ve emailed with Makis (the developer of TemplateBlocks) on several occasions, he is always willing to listen and assist – which is a great asset to the application.

LIME:VC is a very new development that works along the same lines, but the goal was to provide an extremely light-weight framework that would help the back-end developer create front-end content quickly. It’s not CMS-oriented like TemplateBlocks, it’s slightly more manual, but it’s equally as easy to setup and use.

Louis Stowasser (developer) is the primary on the project, and has been working to implement plug-ins – a CMS plug-in exists at the moment. By developing the add-on components as plug-ins, it frees up the developer to “customize” an install instance so that each instance isn’t dragging around dead weight or utilizing/committing server-resources that are not needed to make the application run. It’s programming follows the Model-View-Controller design pattern to ensure clean code & reduce redundancy.

Keep an eye on LIME:VC in the future, it appears to be an upcoming trend as far as how applications may be made in the future using 3.0 technology (instance/object-based functionality that encompasses only the required applications to build out an instance of the LIME).

Products like WordPress, Joomla, etc… have been used for years as a make-shift framework to help expedite website production, but along with all the dead weight/luggage, comes an entire array of site variables. Variables as which plugins are compatible with which version of the product (as it upgrades frequently), and how will upgrades effect customizations of the current instance.

If you can, download and try both TemplateBlocks & LIME:VC, and install them. You’ll be pleasantly surprised how easy they both are to work with. Using a framework will free up time to focus on the code more than the orchestration of building the actual pages. More importantly, a framework will only effect the items that are implemented – separating the business layer logic – and not jeopardizing functionality during an upgrade/update.

Geo Caching For Fun & Profit (a.k.a How to find your arse with a funnel script)

Gregory Milby — Tue, 26 May 2009 13:18:22 +0000

www.syrbot.com – when you visit the site it should say, “Thanks for visiting from ______ . This can be a critical component since you could ideally store the information from this visit in a database, recording exact zip code regions that your are targeting your marketing to.
If you have any intention of selling advertising, this can be good ammunition to show that you know who your audience is – where they’re located and their demographic profile.
To get an idea of how many variables are available about the person browsing your web page – look at this test page for syrbot.com: Test Page.
The first part of the test page is the geo caching element (finding out where you are, the apache var’s profile you as to which os you’re using, resolution and on and on. All critical info when you want to find out who you’re designing your site for. Knowing if your visitors are all using handheld devices would be a critical piece of knowledge – especially if you think you need to have a heavy flash site or graphic rich site. You could make all your customers happy by trimming the site down to streamlined graphics and mostly text arranged in a friendly format for a tiny pocket pc or iphone/palm browser.
It’s an easy argument to stress the importance of keeping up with who you are serving your pages to.
Please leave a comment if you know of any uses for geo caching/etc that would be useful to other people. A stronger point is to have ammunition when assisting a client with assessing their needs. Here is a good link if you want to keep tabs on a good thread for how to get started with geo caching. The link is updated periodically – mostly questions, but some time saving advice if you can read between the lines.

Best Of The Rest Opensource Image Gallery Software (Part 1?)

Gregory Milby — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 15:22:16 +0000

There is no doubt that there are a ton of photo gallery scripts out there. When looking for software, it’s easy to fall into the “ooh’s and ah’s” trap. Being mesmerized with features and easily losing track of the original goal or intended use of the gallery. There are gallery applications that literally are their own website – like a Photo Content Management System. Others truly warrant merit and further research because of their usefulness & hopefully their adaptability for multiple applications – as well as – their ability to stand on their own as needed.

Here are my picks for the most versatile PHP gallery scripts. You may be surprised at the findings here as my values are different than the average person who wants to share their pictures. My value is based more-so on the flexibility and adaptability of a gallery script rather than being locked out from customizing it. Gallery scripts are a good asset if you want to show items in a pre-established website/web application and do not want to have to write from scratch. Reusing this code can help deliver an application expediently, but being able to have it resemble the host site is critical – it must be flexible if it is going to be used as “part of another website”.

Server Test Environment: These were tested these on Ubuntu Server (LAMP install) – latest version. Approach to install: Every click and drool wizard feature was attempted – no manual configurations were attempted to ensure the ‘as advertised’ feature would be accurate.

Flexible and adaptable come at a price. Sometimes the only method to add a photo is to ftp it up to the folder (that’s raw/flexible), but it is considered flexible because a script can be written for exisisting application to control how/where a photo is uploaded. So while reading these, keep this in mind. So look for “stand-alone” if having an upload mechnism is a must for you.

You’ll find that most gallery scripts will boast of these features – comments will be limited to the most noticable of these features for each source in this post:

Features:

On-the-fly Thumbnail/Low resolution picture generation
Unlimited Categories and Sub-categories (it uses directories)
Integrated fast text database mode (MySQL also supported if prefered)
Users comments
Rating system
Web/FTP picture upload
Top Rated/Last Commented/Last added pictures pages
Slideshow mode
User level support to protect pictures/directories from unwanted people
EXIF/IPTC metadata support (hot!) (Only found in phpGraphy)
Multilingual support (See TranslatorPage for complete list and status)
Web interface management
Lossless jpeg rotation support (via exiftran/jpegtran)
Video, sound and text files support
Layout/Text very easy to change
Highly configurable (Themes/Templates)
Installation Wizard

phpGraphy

http://www.phpgraphy.org/demo/index.php

phpGraphy did everything it boasted of, and was a snap to setup. This will be one that will be kept around to help the next person that asks for a “quick gallery” install. It’s lightweight, easy to modify (theme/css) – logic was easy to follow, and painless (which is a key feature).

———————————————————————-

Plogger

http://www.plogger.org/demo/

Looks great, hard to integrate into an exisisting site, and install was less than bulletproof, but it worked after the 2nd try. Theme’s were not easy, but for a stand-alone, it’s useful.

———————————————————————-

Simple Picture Gallery Manager

http://spgm.sourceforge.net/spgm/index.php?

As most do, it generates it own thumbnails and has a stripped down – very modern look. Makes this script easy to include into another project if a sub-folder install will work for your circumstance. Ironically, it’s more full-featured than it appears to be (looking at the demo had me believing that this was going to be a very light script). Even has a few themes made specifically for the application available through the SPGM website making it intended to be a stand-alone gallery script.

———————————————————————-

Qdig

http://qdig.sourceforge.net/qdig/qdig-demo2/index-Dark.php

It’s a one-pager script, but it’s quite details for being one page. I’m always leary when a script says, “it will adapt to any server environment, but some settings…. http://qdig.sourceforge.net/Qdig/AboutQdig (details of setup). In my case, setup was a breeze, and it shows well – easily themed, and the flash-like thumbnailing across the bottom made it appear to be more of an application. Regardless, it worked well as promised.

———————————————————————-

bolGallery

http://bolgallery.free.fr/

With some hesitation this was added, but there are just times you need this. If you need something that you can just put a pile of jpeg’s into a folder, and send someone a link – this is the ticket…. There are many times where this is the perfect tool. Want to show someone 340 proofs that you have to individually upload? (No one does!) . Integration was quite easy, but I probably wouldn’t use this as an end user application, but the concept is great for the times you just need to show someone images quickly.

The quantity of findings were unending while searching for opensource gallery scripts. Going through all of these gallery scripts will take time, and the task will be split up into parts. These 5, that I felt were worth mentioning, were the result of going through 50 scripts. Please comment on any other projects you would like to suggest. Part 2 will be coming in the near future.

70 Header Graphics

Karen — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 00:33:53 +0000

This year has been a rough one for everyone and so I got to thinking about how I could possibly give back this holiday season and here’s what I came up with:

I created a special package of 70 eye-catching header graphics to be used on your websites, blogs, or other projects. 20 of the header graphics are specifically to replace the Kubrick header on the WordPress default theme.

The price of the package is just $5 and I’m donating $2.50 of each sale to The Salvation Army. On December 24, I plan on issuing a cheque to The Salvation Army for the amount I’ve raised up to that point.

Your support is greatly appreciated. If you would like more information, please visit:

How Secure Are You Really?

Karen — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 17:28:33 +0000

At the end of August this year right before I was to move, I got a very rude awakening. I was searching for an mp3 for a personal project and I accidently clicked on an attack site containing nasty malware. At the time, I was using ZoneAlarm and an alert popped up to allow svchost.exe access.

Now, normally I deny all ZoneAlarm program alerts I don’t recognize as something I want to give access to, but I was really tired that night, and my hand actually twitched and I clicked accept! Honestly, I did not want to click that but it happened! And the next thing you know, my desktop was hijacked, my browsers were hijacked, and it took me almost a week to get rid of this malicious trojan – the AntiVirus XP 2008 trojan, a rogue anti-spyware program. This trojan takes over your hosts file, your desktop, your browsers, and who knows what else. It was nasty!

Now, if a web-savy techie, geeky, internet consultant/marketer like me – who’s been online making a living since 1997 – can get infected accidently by malware or viruses, etc., can you imagine what’s happening to most people who aren’t so savy and have no idea they even have spyware or malware on their computers? They are mostly using Intenet Explorer and if they are not getting regular Windows updates on patch Tuesdays and if they are not using a proper firewall with proper browser settings and tools, or updated antivirus software, then they are very vulnerable and at risk.

Good old Microsoft Windows and Intenet Explorer is so full of security leaks. Ah, but Internet Explorer is not the only browser at risk anymore. Because of the huge popularity of Firefox, it is vulnerable too. I was using Firefox 3 when I got attacked. In fact, 3 of my browsers got hijacked: Internet Explorer 7, Firefox 3 amd Opera 9.52. Luckily Netscape 8 was not affected and I was able to find solutions to get rid of the problem.

Now I use a really good Firefox add-on called NoScript . I enable scripts at sites I trust, only. I have a better firewall and I do regular port scans using SheildsUp at Gibson Research. I am just more vigilant about updating my anti-virus/anti-spyware programs. I can only suggest that you do the same.

The Internet is wonderful most of the time, thank goodness. Just make Intenet security a priority and you’re good to go.

Enjoy the ride!
