  • MySQL: Which is faster — INSTR or LIKE?

    - by Grekker
    If your goal is to test if a string exists in a MySQL column (of type 'varchar', 'text', 'blob', etc) which of the following is faster / more efficient / better to use, and why? Or, is there some other method that tops either of these? INSTR( columnname, 'mystring' ) > 0 vs columnname LIKE '%mystring%'

  • Rails acts_as_taggable_on grouped alphabetically?

    - by Ray Dookie
    Having sorted the tag_counts hash via the following code: sorted_tags = Contact.tag_counts.sort{ |x,y| x.name.downcase <= y.name.downcase } what is the easiest/most efficient way to display the tags in my view grouped by letters? i.e A - "Alpha", "Apple", "Aza" B - "Beta", "Bonkers" . . . Z - "Zeta", "Zimmer" Any ideas?

  • Substitute for Iterator that is Serialization

    - by Mahmoud
    I'm working on a GWT project, and I have a bunch of Java classes that use Java Object Iterators on the server side. As I was reading through the internet...Iterators seem to not be serializable preventing me from sending them over to the client side from the server side. My question is is there an efficient way to serialize the iterator or use a substitute that might be serializable ? Many thanks!

  • cons operator (::) in F#

    - by Max
    The :: operator in F# always prepends elements to the list. Is there an operator that appends to the list? I'm guessing that using @ operator [1; 2; 3] @ [4] would be less efficient, than appending one element.

  • How do you efficiently generate a list of K non-repeating integers between 0 and an upper bound N

    - by tucuxi
    The question gives all necessary data: what is an efficient algorithm to generate a sequence of K non-repeating integers within a given interval. The trivial algorithm (generating random numbers and, before adding them to the sequence, looking them up to see if they were already there) is very expensive if K is large and near enough to N. The algorithm provided here seems more complicated than necessary, and requires some implementation. I've just found another algorithm that seems to do the job fine, as long as you know all the relevant parameters, in a single pass.

  • Random record in ActiveRecord

    - by astrofoo
    I'm in need of getting a random record from a table via ActiveRecord. I've followed the example from Jamis Buck from 2006. However, I've also come across another way via a Google search (can't attribute with a link due to new user restrictions): rand_id = rand(Model.count) rand_record = Model.first(:conditions => [ "id >= ?", rand_id]) I'm curious how others on here have done it or if anyone knows what way would be more efficient.

  • Alternative to Windows Azure tables out of the cloud

    - by John Grey
    Hi :) I'm developing a .NET app, which needs to run both on Azure and on regular Windows Servers(2003). It needs to store a few GB of data and SQL Azure is too expensive for me, so I'll use Azure tables in the cloud version. Can you recommend a storage solution, which will run on standalone servers and have an API and behavior similar to Azure tables? From what I've seen Server AppFabric does not include Tables. TIA

  • Control statements in Haskell?

    - by Nathan
    I am just beginning Haskell, but from all the online tutorials I've found I can't seem to find if there is one accepted way to do a conditional control statement. I have seen if-else, guards, and pattern matching, but they all seem to accomplish the same thing. Is there one generally accepted/faster/more efficient way than the rest?

  • Comparing Two Arrays Using Perl

    - by Buzkie
    I have two arrays. I need to check and see if the elements of one appear in the other one. Is there a more efficient way to do it than nested loops? I have a few thousand elements in each and need to run the program frequently. -Alex

  • POSIX: allocate 64KB on 64KB boundary.

    - by Eloff
    I would really like to actually only allocate 64KB of memory, not 128KB and then do the alignment manually - far too wasteful. VirtualAlloc on windows gives precisely this behavior. Supposedly there's code in SquirrelFish for doing this on just about every platform, but I haven't managed to locate it. Is there a space efficient way to allocate 64KB on a 64KB boundary in POSIX? Failing that, in Linux?

  • Oracle : Identifying duplicates in a table without index

    - by user288031
    When I try to create a unique index on a large table, I get a unique contraint error. The unique index in this case is a composite key of 4 columns. Is there an efficient way to identify the duplicates other than : select col1, col2, col3, col4, count() from Table1 group by col1, col2, col3, col4 having count() 1 The explain plan above shows full table scan with extremely high cost, and just want to find if there is another way. Thanks !

  • What exactly is Arel in Rails 3.0?

    - by Will
    I understand that it is a replacement for ActiveRecord and that it uses objects instead of queries. But... why is this better? will objects/queries be "easier" to create? will it lead to more efficient SQL queries? will it be compatible with all major DB's? - I assume it will. will it be easier/harder to use with stored procedures?

  • Is it possible to use 'else' in a python list comprehension?

    - by Josh
    Here is the code I was trying to turn into a list comprehension: table = '' for index in xrange(256): if index in ords_to_keep: table += chr(index) else: table += replace_with Is there a way to add the else statement to this comprehension? table = ''.join(chr(index) for index in xrange(15) if index in ords_to_keep) Also, would I be right in concluding that a list comprehension is the most efficient way to do this?

  • Python timed file upload

    - by Ali
    I have a python script that accepts a file from the user and saves it. Is it possible to not upload the file immediately but to que it up and when the server has less load to upload it then. Can this be done by transferring the file to the browsers storage area or taking the file from the Harddrive and transferring to the User's RAM?
