This week win: Install Oracle 11g database on vmware Ubuntu 11

I don't love admin task, as any other developer i presume, but any now and then you get one. This week it was Installing Oracle 11.2 g database on vmware Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal.

Problem is that Oracle doesn't support officially Ubuntu, so you are pretty much on your own. Actually i had only two problems:


Oracle install wizard in one of steps checks your system settings do they satisfy requrments. For some OS settings it can generate repair script for you to run runfixup.sh.

That scripts calls orarun.sh, you just need to change second one from sh to bash script, change first line from

#!/bin/sh

to

#!/bin/bash


Second problem was Oracle needs some libs to perform linking so you need to add this misssing libs for oracle linking

sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install libaio1
sudo apt-get install libaio-dev
sudo apt-get install unixODBC
sudo apt-get install unixODBC-dev
sudo apt-get install pdksh
sudo apt-get install expat
sudo apt-get install sysstat
sudo apt-get install libelf-dev
sudo apt-get install elfutils
sudo apt-get install lsb-cxx

If some of them your ubuntu can not find you will need to find them on net and add them in your source list on end of file.

sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list

add line like this:
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ natty partner

Javascript REST client

Note : I still work on text, code example should be fine. REST is the one of the most popular interfaces on the web today. One part to its success it owes to its simplicity. How number of sites that support REST grows we will need some fast and good solution to use those services on client side. Even if its possible to do it all, since REST is based on http, with old AJAX calls, it would be nice to have some little more... This is one approach that i choose. I create in javascript new object that has six methods five for REST methods, four for POST, PUT, GET and REMOVE plus one more to GET all resources, and one more to get html template to display your data. This code is based on jquery and json js libs. function RestServiceJs(newurl) { this.myurl = newurl; this.add = function(model, callback) { $.ajax({ type: 'POST', url: this.myurl, data: JSON.stringify(model), // '{"name":"' + model.name + '"}',

Use JPA with MongoDb and Datanucleus

Web applications nowadays have huge demand for data processing, and they need to get them, process them, and displayed them fast. Traditional relational tables and big SQL engines fail to serve that purpose. NoSQL movement is on the rise. There are huge numbers of alternatives to SQL like BigTable, HBase, CouchDB, Cassandra and MongoDB. They are all fast but you'll need to implement new way to work with them, since all of them have they own query languages. It would be nice that we can use them in similar or same way in our projects, after all ORM layer is there for that to decouple our objects from underlying storage. MongoDB is one of most popular NoSQL solutions and easiest one to install. For HBase i would had to install cygwin or virtual linux, and still will be hard to confgiure it right. MongoDb is easy, it plays out of the box, just unzip it, and it still offers some nice features like MapReduce, Replication and Sharding. Datanucleus is one of the leading ORM provid

Gestalt Diffing algorithm in Java

What we see depends mainly on what we look for. John Lubbock We do not see things as they are, we see things as we are. Anais Nin Gestalt Diffing algorithm in Java Intro When it comes down to diffing or LCS usually story ends with Myers algorithm. It is idea to create BitMatrix (or IntMatrix) of similarities between two strings and then to approach to a problem from graph point, and find the shortest path of changes between two arrays. It sounds as a great solution, and it is, but in reality it has few drawbacks. It is algorithm that gives great results most of the time but it is a slow algorithm for some obvious cases, if strings are equal, or very similar. You create whole matrix but for your solution not all values from matrix are needed. It involves one more algorithm, finding the shortest path in it self. Then improvements of Myers algorithm came, like to check on start are strings are equals, to check for same prefix or suffix, to run snake chase from both
