MySQL/ASP Paging Using Limit - mysql

Currently, I am using this recordset paging method:
(this example has been cut down for this post)
Function getnext10(num)
pageLen = len(num)
if pageLen = 1 Then
next10 = 10
else if pageLen > 1 Then
pageRem = 10
pageTen = right(num, 1)
next10 = num + pageRem - pageTen
end if
end if
getnext10 = next10
End Function
Function getPrev10(num)
pageLen = Len(num)
If pageLen = 1 Then
prev10 = 1
ElseIf pageLen > 1 Then
lastNumber = Right(num,1)
prev10 = num - lastNumber
End If
If prev10 = 0 Then
prev10 = 1
End If
getPrev10 = prev10
End Function
Which uses a 'Do Until Loop' to get the correct group of results for that page.
I have been advised to drop this method and to start using LIMIT paging instead. I understand how to apply this to my project, I think, so I'm not looking for anybody's code, I just need an explanation as to why I need to start using it.
Apart from using less code in the LIMIT version, which will reduce my page size (mega slightly), why is using the LIMIT method better? Will it improve my search query performance?
Any further clarification on this subject will be gratefully received.

Yes, using LIMIT would improve the perfomance of your webpage. Right now you're fetching unnessesary records just to move onto right record while LIMIT would land you onto right record right away. Lets say you have to page 100 records, 10 records per page, and user request page 10 (last page). With the "Do Until Loop" solution you're fetching all 100 records but you discard 90 of them right away, without actually using them. So 90% of the resultset you didn't use for anything constructive! Using LIMIT you fetch only the records you going to use and thus you aren't wasting any resources.

Can't wrap my head around MySQL statement

I have two tables:
cache and main
In cache there are a lot of fields; in main a little less. A UNION is not going to work because of the unequal number of columns.
cache
client - file - target - many other columns
main
client - file - target - few other columns
From cache I would like all columns for which main.target LIKE '%string%', cache.client = main.client, cache.file = main.file
For these particular records, target, client and file are always the same in main and cache.
I just can't get my head around this, but then again MySQL never was my strongest point.
Thank you very much in advance!
In the end combining the two SELECT statements with a UNION made things very complicated, for the simple reason there were countless other queries, some without UNION, that in the end all had to be processed by the same end routine presenting the results. As this was only a one-time query and time wasn't really an issue, in the end I just used SELECT on the two different tables and then combined the results by checking if a certain field was present. If not, the remaining results had to be fetched from the cache table; if so, the remaining results had to be fetched from the main table.
I actually wonder whether this solution is faster, slower or just as fast.
if (!isset($row['current']))
{
$field = $row['field'];
$sqlcache = "SELECT * FROM " . $dbtable . " WHERE (client = '$sqlclient' AND file = '$sqlfile' AND field = '$field')";
$resultcache = $conn->query($sqlcache);
if (!$resultcache)
{
die($conn->error);
}
$rowcache = $resultcache->fetch_assoc();
$currenttarget = $rowcache['current'];
$context = $rowcache['context'];
$dirtysource = $rowcache['dirtysource'];
$stringid = $rowcache['stringid'];
$limit = $rowcache['maxlength'];
$locked = $rowcache['locked'];
$filei = $rowcache['filei'];
}
else
{
$currenttarget = $row['current'];
$context = $row['context'];
$dirtysource = $row['dirtysource'];
$stringid = $row['stringid'];
$limit = $row['maxlength'];
$locked = $row['locked'];
$filei = $row['filei'];
}

Update planned order - two committed modifications, only one saved

I need to update two information on one object: the quantity (PLAF-gsmng) and refresh the planned order via the module function 'MD_SET_ACTION_PLAF'.
I successfully find a way to update each data separately. But when I execute the both solutions the second modification is not saved on the database.
Do you know how I can change the quantity & set the action on PLAF (Planned order) table ?
Do you know other module function to update only the quantity ?
Maybe a parameter missing ?
It's like if the second object is locked (sm12 empty, no sy-subrc = locked) ... and the modification is not committed.
I tried to:
change the order of the algorithm (refresh and after, change PLAF)
add, remove, move the COMMIT WORK & COMMIT WORK AND WAIT
add DEQUEUE_ALL or DEQUEUE_EMPLAFE
This is the current code:
1) Read the data
lv_plannedorder = '00000000001'
"Read PLAF data
SELECT SINGLE * FROM PLAF INTO ls_plaf WHERE plnum = lv_plannedorder.
2) Update Quantity data
" Standard configuration for FM MD_PLANNED_ORDER_CHANGE
CLEAR ls_610.
ls_610-nodia = 'X'. " No dialog display
ls_610-bapco = space. " BAPI type. Do not use mode 2 -> Action PLAF-MDACC will be autmatically set up to APCH by the FM
ls_610-bapix = 'X'. " Run BAPI
ls_610-unlox = 'X'. " Update PLAF
" Customize values
MOVE p_gsmng TO ls_plaf-gsmng. " Change quantity value
MOVE sy-datlo TO ls_plaf-mdacd. " Change by/datetime, because ls_610-bapco <> 2.
MOVE sy-uzeit TO ls_plaf-mdact.
CALL FUNCTION 'MD_PLANNED_ORDER_CHANGE'
EXPORTING
ecm61o = ls_610
eplaf = ls_plaf
EXCEPTIONS
locked = 1
locking_error = 2
OTHERS = 3.
" Already committed on the module function
" sy-subrc = 0
If I go on the PLAF table, I can see that the quantity is edited. It's working :)
3) Refresh BOM & change Action (MDACC) and others fields
CLEAR ls_imdcd.
ls_imdcd-pafxl = 'X'.
CALL FUNCTION 'MD_SET_ACTION_PLAF'
EXPORTING
iplnum = lv_plannedorder
iaccto = 'BOME'
iaenkz = 'X'
imdcd = ls_imdcd
EXCEPTIONS
illegal_interface = 1
system_failure = 2
error_message = 3
OTHERS = 4.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
COMMIT WORK.
ENDIF.
If I go on the table, no modification (only the modif. of the part 2. can be found on it).
Any idea ?
Maybe because the ls_610-bapco = space ?
It should be possible to update planned order quantity with MD_SET_ACTION_PLAF too, at least SAP Help tells us so. Why don't you use it like that?
Its call for changing the quantity should possibly look like this:
DATA: lt_acct LIKE TABLE OF MDACCTO,
ls_acct LIKE LINE OF lt_acct.
ls_acct-accto = 'BOME'.
APPEND lt_acct.
ls_acct-accto = 'CPOD'.
APPEND lt_acct.
is_mdcd-GSMNG = 'value' "updated quantity value
CALL FUNCTION 'MD_SET_ACTION_PLAF'
EXPORTING
iplnum = iv_plnum
iaenkz = 'X'
IVBKZ = 'X'
imdcd = is_mdcd "filled with your BOME-related data + new quantity
TABLES
TMDACCTO = lt_accto
EXCEPTIONS
illegal_interface = 1
system_failure = 2
error_message = 3.
So there is no more need for separate call of MD_PLANNED_ORDER_CHANGE anymore and no more problems with update.
I used word possibly because I didn't find any example of this FM call in the Web (and SAP docu is quite ambiguous), so I propose this solution just as is, without verification.
P.S. Possible actions are listed in T46AS table, and possible impact of imdcd fields on order can be checked in MDAC transaction. It is somewhat GUI equivalent of this FM for single order.

VBA code to analyze a HTML table based off certain conditions

So I need to screen scrape data off a website and return it to a spreadsheet based off if a charge amount matched as well the date was the most recent in the table. If there was simply one line in the table, the macro pulls that accordingly. So most of the code is good, I am connected to the website, pulling everything effectively. Where I am struggling is getting the logic to work where the two amounts match as well as the date being the most recent in the HTML table.
I guess what my question is how do I loop through Item(5) the column of that table and specify it to choose the most recent date, also setting the value so that it only finds the one equal to the charge amount. I only want a one to one match. I am new to this so if anyone wants to help me I would greatly appreciate it.
Set IHEC = iHTMLDoc.getElementsByTagName("TR")
If IHEC.Length > 2 Then
For index = 0 to IHEC.Length - 1
Set IHEC_TD = IHEC.Item(index).getElementsByTagName("TD")

If IHEC.TD.Item(3).innerText = myBilledAmount Then
myItem1 = IHEC_TDItem(0).innerText
myItem2 = IHEC_TDItem(1).innerText
myItem3 = IHEC_TDItem(2).innerText
myItem4 = IHEC_TDItem(3).innerText

Ruby on Rails optimalization of some code

I have some simple code that uses the minmax algoritm to locate birds. Everything works but I find my programming not good and I believe there is a better solution. I'm not that experienced in RoR but if somebody knows a better way to achieve the same solution then I'm greatful ;).
There are two parts I hate, the 4 lists I had to create to determine the max or min value for the different combinations (the core of the min-max algorithm) and the very ugly SQL hack.
Thanks!
def index
# fetch all our birds
#birds = Bird.all
# Loop over the birds
#birds.each do |bird|
#fixed = Node.where("d7type = 'f'")
xminmax = []
xmaxmin = []
yminmax = []
ymaxmin = []
#fixed.each do |fixed|
rss = Log.find_by_sql("SELECT logs.fixed_mac, AVG(logs.blinker_rss) AS avg_rss FROM logs
WHERE logs.blinker_mac = '#{bird.d7_mac}' AND logs.fixed_mac = '#{fixed.d7_mac}' ORDER BY logs.id DESC LIMIT 30")
converted_rss = calculate_distance_rss(rss[0].attributes["avg_rss"])
xminmax.push(fixed.xpos + converted_rss)
xmaxmin.push(fixed.xpos - converted_rss)
yminmax.push(fixed.ypos + converted_rss)
ymaxmin.push(fixed.ypos - converted_rss)
end
pos = {x: (xminmax.min + xmaxmin.max) / 2, y: (yminmax.min + ymaxmin.max) / 2}
puts pos
end
end
2 things you could do to start with is (assuming Birds could be a large table) Change Bird.all to
Bird.find_each do |bird|
... code ...
end
It's a more efficient way to loop over many table records.
2nd: take #fixed = Node.where("d7type = 'f'") out of the each loop since it doesn't need any variables for its query. Put it above the loop so it doesn't execute each time.
3rd (Not so much of an optimization but just safer code): Your Log.find_by_sql looks simple enough to use active_record, you can change it to:
Log.select('fixed_mac, AVG(logs.blinker_rss) AS avg_rss, blinker_mac').
where(blinker_mac: bird.d7_mac, fixed_mac: fixed.d7_mac).
order('id DESC').limit(30)
converted_rss = calculate_distance_rss(rss.first.avg_rss)
Everything else looks fine.

Tips for function inside while loop and i=i+1, Matlab

I have a problem with a function in matlab. This specific function is for filtering light signals. As you can see below I added the coding I’ve used in the function and in the while loop itself. The code is written for a NXT Lego robot.
Is there any tip how to get the count variable ( i = i + 1 ) to work in the function, so we can plot Light(i)? Because we’re getting a bunch of error messages when we try different codes to make it work.
function [light] = filter_func( i)
lightI(i) = GetLight(SENSOR_3);
if i==1
light(i)=lightI(i)
elseif i==2
light(i) = 0.55*lightI(i) + 0.45*lightI(i-1)
else
light(i) = 0.4*lightI(i) + 0.3*lightI(i-1) + 0.3*lightI(i-2);
end
end
i=1
while true
lightI(i) = GetLight(SENSOR_3); % Get’s a lightvalue between 0 and 1024.
if i>2
light =filter_func(i)
light=round(light);
else
light(i) = GetLight(SENSOR_3);;
end
i=1+i
plot(light(end-90:end), 'r-');
title('Lightvalue')
axis([0 100 0 1023]) ;
end
You probably mainly get errors because you are not allowed to mix script and functions like this in MATLAB (like you are in Python).
Your filter function is only used when i>2 so why are you doing the first 2 tests? It seems like you want lightI as a global variable, but that is not what you have done. The lightI inside the function is not the same as the one in the while loop.
Since your while loop runs forever, maybe you don't need to worry about updating the plot the first two times. In that case you can do this:
filter = [0.4 0.3 0.3]';
latest_filtered_light = nan(90,1);
lightI = [];
p = plot(latest_filtered_light, 'r-');
title('Lightvalue')
axis([0 100 0 1023]) ;
while True
lightI(end+1,1) = rand*1024; % Get’s a lightvalue between 0 and 1024.
if i>=3
new_val = lightI(end-2:end,1)'*filter;
latest_filtered_light = [latest_filtered_light(2:end);...
new_val];
set(p, 'ydata', latest_filtered_light)
drawnow
end
end
I think it is an important point to not call plot every time - at least if you are the least concerned about performance.
