ปกติใน MySQL (DBMS อื่นๆ ก็คงเหมือนกัน) ถ้าเราไป insert อะไรซ้ำๆ เข้าไปใน column ที่บังคับไว้ว่าต้อง unique มันก็จะเจ๊ง ก็เลยต้องมาดูก่อนว่ามีข้อมูลแล้วหรือยัง ค่อย insert แต่ว่าจะเขียน SQL อย่างไรให้สั้นๆ ง่ายๆ เท่าที่อ่านมาจาก http://bogdan.org.ua/2007/10/18/mysql-insert-if-not-exists-syntax.html ผ่านทาง http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1361340/how-to-insert-if-not-exists-in-mysql มาอีกที

ผมเลือกใช้ “on duplicate key update” เพิ่มใน insert เพราะเท่าที่อ่านมา 3 วิธีก็ วิธ๊นี้ก็ดูประหยัด และไม่ไปเพิกเฉยต่อ error อื่น ที่ไม่เกี่ยวข้อง

สมมุติว่าผมจะเพิ่ม 6 เข้าไปใน textunit_conflicts.textunit_id ก็เขียนแบบนี้

insert into textunit_conflicts value (6) on duplicate key update textunit_id = textunit_id;

textunit_id = textunit_id ก็เขียนไปไม่ให้มันผิด syntax เฉยๆ

EDIT: MFW AGREED TO OUR POST WE NOW OWN WALRUS AND MFW IS GIVEN ICICLE BACK, MFW IS IN THE TOP 10, RPF IS THE BEST MEDIUM ARMY NOW.

First RPF Accomplishment

Miroos’ Comment

Ok look. We obviously have to come to an agreement. Swearing at each other won’t get us anywhere. Neither will arguing about who won. So I suggest that we give you Walrus and we keep Icicle. But at least we got back into the CP Warfare spirit. Nice battles, it was fun – even the arguing. So yeah, I agree with Ads. Let’s see what Sergie says now…

Sergie’s Comment

I agree, this was good battle. But I think since you didn’t give us Yeti with Walrus, but only Walrus, then we will have 1 more thing before we agree. You either declare RPF as the best medium army, and become close allies or fight again and see who earns it, and probably have more arguments again. -.-

If you choose the first option, the RPF will announce you as the 2nd best medium army due to sportsmanship and active, reasonable leaders. We will also present an “close-brother allie treaty” which will make RPF and MFW a brother army, also making RPF help MFW at any battle they wish us to attend. If RPF is in trouble, MFW also could help if they have time. Sounds like a good deal unless you want the same thing over again with Option 2.

Fight The Good Fight,

– Sergie717

Guess what you MFW fu*ers, I got my pictures. YOU WERE LUCKY I HAD TO GO TO MY COUSINS HOUSE TO BABYSIT FOR 2 DAYS! MFW ARE COMPLETE NOOBS, RPF OWNED THEM. THE ACP SOLDIER RUMOR IS ALL NOT TRUE, WE RECRUITED YOU DUMB*UCKS. I couldn’t post RPF’s proof of the battle because I had to leave immediatly.. Well now you can SEE MY PROOF OF RPF WINNING. RPF OWNS ICICLE UNTIL MFW WANTS TO RE-INVADE IT!

MFW HAD ALLIE S DRESSED UP IN THEIR UNIFORM NO T US, PROOF:

MFW ADMITTED DEFEAT:

THE EPIC BATTLE, RPF vs. MFW:

Fight The Good Fight

Since Fiasco ruined our first invasion, we will make them suffer.. Now we will fight and not leave the battle. Pack your bags boys.

EDIT:

Karakoran: Approved

The Mysterious Freedom Warriors have 2 servers that belong to the old U.S.R.P.F. (Yeti and Walrus). I want to put back everything that the past leaders lost, and glue it back on our nation page. So MFW, we are at war until you give us Yeti and Walrus. We will be invading their capital tommorrow, Icicle. This is a very important battle, so if you think you deserve a promotion I recommend attending the invasion. If MFW bring allies, that means we can bring our allies.. I don’t think we want ACP to be involved in this, right?

Ninja: Maxwell is accusing me now i want him fired he is being a a$$ fire him now!

Uhm wow guys you let in freaking maxwell! You know he is the one that destroyed romans right? And if u did whos idea was it to let him in! My god guys i would fire him before he hacks you and take over. -_-

Crazy: I pretty much agree there.

Sergie717: How do you know that he is a hacker? Maybe he is one of those noobs who get promoted too much, and get admined. I don’t see Max as a threat, because I know from his past that he is not fit for leader. Max, you are staying in RPF, no promotions until you prove yourself worthy. Same goes for the rest of the lower ranked people. Promotion is a privilege, not a hobby.

Well, you guys didn’t show up for the Nacho battle, seriously, not even 1 person. But that’s allright, all I care about is that our chat is in good shape that means that if the chat is in good shape then CP will be in good shape.

UMA & RPF Conflict

UMA wanted to take over Tuxedo on Thursday, but Crazyboy86 cancelled it because he is a good friend of mine and why in the world would they want to take over Tuxedo? Just a reminder for you UMA’ians, ACP and RPF share Tuxedo ever since Oberst533 and Boomer20 were RPF leaders. Harv is also a server whore who had a grudge against Commando717 the day he joined CP Armies.

This picture is extremely suspicious, Rofl;

Nachos’ Corrupt Leadership

Basically, ACP & IW & UMA owned the Nachos today. Probably while the Nachos were fighting their a**es off at their servers, AkABob22 was playing Left For Dead 2.

Active Count

Basically comment with your CP rank and you’re username in a comment on this post. Please don’t comment twice. Whoever does not comment until tommorrow midnight is SUSPENDED FOR INACTIVITY.

Yes, I heard ACP and IW are going on massive war against the all mighty Nachos, we will join on ACP and IW’s side until further notice. I can surely tell you that were sticking with ACP and IW, let’s do this! EVERYONE IN RPF COME TO THIS BATTLE.

We need all soldiers to attend, this is going to be a big war!  Do your best to get there 30 minutes early for recruiting!

Taken off the ACP site,

I have been watching the Nacho site for weeks now and have not been able to find a single post of much relevance to the army.  Between Jayson not posting at all and Aka’s posts of some random video and message saying “Comment” the Nachos have fallen a great deal.  Not to mention the hostility Aka in particular has shown ACP in the past.  Some of us think it’s time for a change.

Aka and Jayson have been in armies longer than most of our penguins have even existed.  There is no denying what they have accomplished, but at the same time, it has become apparent neither care enough anymore to be effective leaders of the Nachos.  For this reason, Icey and I have been called in to dispose of them.

ACP and IW will be declaring unrelenting war on the Nachos until Aka and Jayson are out of power.  The first such event will take place this Wednesday.  ACP and IW will invade two separate servers simultaneously, taking out Shiver and White House.  Pack your bags soldiers, we’re off to war.

P.S.: Check out our new recruits!

Yeah, RPF is doing actually really good. Sergie & Josh decided to unite as brothers and take control over the RPF and it’s survivors. The RPF needs recruits, so go ahead and join at the “Join” page right now.. seriously.. The RPF has been a major army, look at us now, just another small army getting stepped on by other armies such as the allmighty ACP. Even though I believe that Commando717 was our source of activeness due to his humor and awesome leadership. *Sigh*, yes we all miss the old days when you would get insulted by Commando717 and then have a big laugh. We can all do that though, we just need “everyone” to help us rebuild. Everyone is allowed to join, except Oagalthorp. I got basketball practice so I won’t be online on chats from 3:00pm – 5:00pm.. that’s PST. I would also like people to start working harder, and recruit as much as you can. I know recruiting is a boring thing.. seriously.. We all hate CP, but I don’t want RPF to go out like that. We just all need to unite.. Cooperation is our key right now. I am scheduling a Recruitment Session, hopefully more than 3 people can show up; -.-

Motivasi

sebelum saya bahas tentang mempercepat proses load data di java menggunakan cache, saya akan bahas dahulu tentang apa saja manfaat yang akan didapat setelah mambaca artike ini. secara sederhana anda akan mengetahui :

• cara mempercepat proses load menggunakan cache.
• bagaimana cara kerja cache sehingga dapat mempercepat proses laod data.
• cara menerapkan cache pada sistem anda.
• framework yang dapat digunakan sebagai cache.

sekarang jika anda sekiranya tidak tertarik dengan manfaat artikel ini, anda bisa tidak melanjutkan membacanya, namun jika tertarik anda dapat meneruskan untuk membaca artikel ini.

Apa itu Cache?

sebelum tahu bagaimana cara mempercepat proses load data menggunakan cache, tentulah anda harus mengetahui dulu tentang apa itu cache.

Cache adalah kumpulan dari duplikasi data yang disimpan di suatu media. dimana data orisinil dari duplikasi tersebut membutuhkan biaya yang mahal untuk diakses, seperti waktu yang lama, ataupun proses yang memakan resource processor banyak.

sekarang yang jadi pertanyaan, data yang bagaimana yang bagus untuk dibuat cache-nya, dan dimanakan kita harus menyimpan cache tersebut?

sudah tidak bisa dipungkiri lagi jika setiap sistem pasti membutuhkan media penyimpanan, dan kebanyakan media penyimpanan tersebut adalah disk. misal seperti database, ataupun file biasa. ataupun biasanya sistem menyimpan data dalam memori. biasanya data yang disimpan dalam memori itu bukanlah data yang bersifat permanen, biasanya jika datanya bersifat permanen, maka diharuskan disimpan dalam disk.

anggap saja saat ini kita sedang menggunakan sistem yang berbasis database. artinya kita menggunakan database sebagai media penyimpan datanya. dan hal ini berarti data tersebut disimpan dalam disk. (kecuali menggunakan database berbasis memori seperti HSQLDB, anggap saja kita sekarang menggunakan database yang datanya disimpan dalam disk).

perlu diketahui juga kalo proses disk io yang dilakukan oleh database, baik itu ketika menyimpan data ataupun meload data bukanlah proses yang gampang. proses tersebut meruapkan proses yang mahal. kenapa bisa dibilang proses yang mahal? karena ada proses yang lebih murah dari proses tersebut

yup! proses yang lebih murah tersebut adalah memori io, yang artinya pengaksesan data dari disk itu lebih mahal dari pada pengaksesan data dari memori. mengakses data dari file akan membutuhkan waktu yang lama dimandingkan mengakses data dati memori. dan mengakses data dari disk membutuhkan resource processor lebih besar dari pada mengakses data dari memori. (makanya harga memori lebih mahal dari harga hardisk )

gak percaya kalo memori lebih cepat dari disk? coba tanya ke orang teknik komputer

sekarang yang menjadi pertanyaannya adalah, bagaimana cara kita meyimpan cache dalam memori?

Arsitektur Menggunakan Cache

sebelum menggunakan cache, biasanya kita membuat sistem berbasis database seperti dibawah ini :

dimana biasanya aplikasi langsung terkoneksi ke database, sehingga proses insert, update, delete, dan select akan langsung dilakukan ke database. namun seperti yang dibahas sebelumnya, karena proses disk io dalam database itu prosesnya cukup mahal, maka adabaiknya kita menggunakan cache untuk menggulangi masalah tersebut. dimana kita akan menggunakan memori sebagai media penyimpanan cache tersebut. sehingga arsitekturnya akan seperti ini :

lho kenapa tetap menggunakan database?

tentu saja, karena sifat memori yang akan menghapus data ketika sumber daya mati, maka kita tidak bisa menggunakan memori sebagai media penyimpanan utama. jadi tetap walaupun kita menyimpan cache di memori, tetapi tetap data original harus ada dalam database, sehingga saat sistem mati, data tetap ada.

Implementasi Dalam Java

sekarang pertanyaannya, “bagaimana cara mengimplementasikan cache di java?“

seperti biasa, biasanya orang java selalu menggunakan konsep yang namanya Data Access Object saat membuat sistem berbasiskan database. anggap saja misal kita memiliki entitas Manusia, maka biasanya dibuatlah data access object untuk entitas tersebut :

package echo.khannedy.cacheload.mapper;

import echo.khannedy.cacheload.entity.Manusia;

public interface ManusiaMapper {

	void saveManusia(Manusia manusia);

	void updateManusia(Manusia manusia);

	void deleteManusia(Long id);

	Manusia getManusia(Long id);

}

jika anda belum mengerti tentang konsep dao, anda bisa membacanya disini :

• pengenalan data access object 1 intro
• pengenalan data access object 2 implementasi dalam jdbc
• pengenalan data access object 3 implementasi dalam java persistence api
• pengenalan data access object 4 implementasi dalam hibernate
• pengenalan data access object 5 kesalahan membuat dao
• pengenalan data access object 6 outro

dan biasanya kita membuat implementasi dao tersebut seperti ini :

package echo.khannedy.cacheload.implement;

import echo.khannedy.cacheload.entity.Manusia;
import echo.khannedy.cacheload.mapper.ManusiaMapper;

public class ManusiaMapperImpl implements ManusiaMapper {

	@Override
	public void deleteManusia(Long id) {
		// mulai transaksi
		database.beginTransaction();

		// hapus data yang ada di database
		database.deleteById(Manusia.class, id);

		// commit transaksi
		database.commit();
	}

	@Override
	public Manusia getManusia(Long id) {
		// mulai transaksi
		database.beginTransaction();

		// load data yang ada dalam database
		Manusia manusia = database.getById(Manusia.class, id);

		// commit transaksi
		database.commit();

		return manusia;
	}

	@Override
	public void saveManusia(Manusia manusia) {
		// mulai transaksi
		database.beginTransaction();

		// simpan data ke database
		database.save(Manusia.class, manusia);

		// commit transaksi
		database.commit();
	}

	@Override
	public void updateManusia(Manusia manusia) {
		// mulai transaksi
		database.beginTransaction();

		// ubah data di database
		database.update(Manusia.class, manusia);

		// commit transaksi
		database.commit();
	}

}

nah sekarang bagaimana membuat cache? seperti pada penjelasannya bahwa cache itu adalah kumpulan duplikasi data, artinya cache ini berisikan data. sehingga dengan demikian kita bisa menggunakan collection untuk dijadikan cache tersebut. namun yang menjadi permasalaan adalah, bagai mana kita tahu jika ada data yang kita mau dalam cache?

untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut, kita harus menggunakan identitas untuk tiap object dalam cache. sehingga collection yang mensupport pengidentitasan menggunakan id adalah java.util.Map, dimana jika kita menggunakan java.util.List, maka kita hanya bisa menyimpan object tanpa memberi identitas.

dan karena pada kasus ini kita menggunakan entitas Manusia, jadi kita buat juta cache untuk entitas Manusia dengan nama ManusiaCache :

package echo.khannedy.cacheload.cache;

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;

import echo.khannedy.cacheload.entity.Manusia;

public class ManusiaCache {

	// buat collection dari map
	private Map<Long, Manusia> map = new HashMap<Long, Manusia>();

	/**
	 * metode ini bisa digunakan untuk menambah data ke cache ataupun mengubah
	 * data di cache
	 *
	 * @param manusia
	 */
	public void put(Manusia manusia) {
		// simpan data ke map
		map.put(manusia.getId(), manusia);
	}

	/**
	 * metode ini digunakan untuk menghapus data di cache
	 *
	 * @param id
	 */
	public void delete(Long id) {
		map.remove(id);
	}

	/**
	 * metode ini digunakan untuk mendapatkan data di cache
	 *
	 * @param id
	 * @return manusia atau null jika tidak terdapat data manusia dengan id
	 *         tersebut
	 */
	public Manusia get(Long id) {
		return map.get(id);
	}

}

dengan demikian kita ubah juga data access object Manusia menjadi seperti dibawah ini :

package echo.khannedy.cacheload.implement;

import echo.khannedy.cacheload.cache.ManusiaCache;
import echo.khannedy.cacheload.entity.Manusia;
import echo.khannedy.cacheload.mapper.ManusiaMapper;

public class ManusiaMapperImpl implements ManusiaMapper {

	private ManusiaCache cache = new ManusiaCache();

	@Override
	public void deleteManusia(Long id) {
		// mulai transaksi
		database.beginTransaction();

		// hapus data yang ada di database
		database.deleteById(Manusia.class, id);
		// hapus data di cache
		cache.delete(id);

		// commit transaksi
		database.commit();
	}

	@Override
	public Manusia getManusia(Long id) {
		// load data di cache
		Manusia manusia = cache.get(id);

		// cek apakah data tidak ada dalam cache
		if(manusia == null){
			// jika data tidak ada dalam cache, maka load dari database

			// mulai transaksi
			database.beginTransaction();

			// load data di database
			manusia = database.getById(Manusia.class, id);
			// simpan data ke cache
			cache.put(manusia);

			// commit transaksi
			database.commit();
		}

		return manusia;
	}

	@Override
	public void saveManusia(Manusia manusia) {
		// mulai transaksi
		database.beginTransaction();

		// simpan data ke database
		database.save(Manusia.class, manusia);
		// simpan data ke cache
		cache.put(manusia);

		// commit transaksi
		database.commit();
	}

	@Override
	public void updateManusia(Manusia manusia) {
		// mulai transaksi
		database.beginTransaction();

		// ubah data di database
		database.update(Manusia.class, manusia);
		// ubah data di cache
		database.put(manusia);

		// commit transaksi
		database.commit();
	}

}

dengan demikian saat terjadi proses load data maka proses ini yang akan dilakukan :

• load data dari cache
• cek apakah data di cache ada
• jika data ada maka proses selesai
• jika data tidak ada dalam cache maka load data yang ada didatabase
• setelah data yang ada didatabase diload, simpan data tersebut di cache
• selesai

dengan demikian saat sistem melakukan load data yang ada dicache dan ditemukan, maka sistem sama sekali tidak menyentuh database untuk meload data. dan hal ini tentu akan menjadikan proses load data lebih cepat.

namun jika data tidak ada dalam cache, maka data akan diload dari database, dan setelah itu data tersebut akan disimpan dalam cache. dengan ini proses selanjutnya maka load akan dilakukan ke cache tanpa harus ke database lagi

pada artikel ini, kita telah membuat cache secara manual, artinya kita membuat cache sendiri. namun jika anda ingin menggunakan cache yang lebih powerfull anda dapat menggunakan framework-framework cache yang telah ada seperti :

• EhCache
• OsCache
• JBoss Cache

terima kasih telah membaca artikel ini, semoga ilmu anda dan saya semakin bertambah

Thanks Proverbs Wife

Kinda like the awesome U2 song…

Last week I started the Radio and Journalism course and so far I’m having a great time! classes are interesting, the teachers are cool and my fellow students? Well, It’s hard to say, I’ll get back to you on that once I get to know them better…

I’ve discovered this week that this course will make me face all my fears and hopefully destroy them, or at least put me in control of them, because in this line of work, Journalism and Radio, you can’t go anywhere with fears like stage fright or crowd phobia or a simple insecurity… if you can’t control these fears, then they’ll eat you alive and you won’t be able to progress anywhere.

I’m both excited and scared at the same time.

Tomorrow, I’ll meet a friend for the interview assignment. I think it’s a great way to start, with a friend and not someone strange or worse – famous. I have no idea what the interview’s going to be about nor know what to ask him, but since it’s my first time and since it’s going to be a familiar face, I hope I’ll manage.

On Monday I’ll go to the um Radio Station Simulator in order to record my first insert. It took me the entire weekend to figure out what to talk about, because we were told no more than 100 words, but it finally came up and my insert’s going to be a recipe from one of the many cookbooks I got. I’m pretty sure it’ll turn out to be a great idea.

SCENE:  Patient’s room.  Patient is blind.  RN and Student Nurse Kenny are examining the patient’s mouth ulceration.

RN:  Let’s just grab a tongue depressor here.  Ok, open up and stick your tongue out, Patient.

Kenny:  Oh, let me just turn this exam light on so we can see better.

RN:  Good idea.

Kenny (to patient):  I’m sorry, Patient, I know this overhead light is so bright, it’s like the sun … it must be blinding!

… SYSRQ?
Alguns botões são como dentes de siso: perderam a utilidade com a evolução, mas continuam lá. O System Request (“pedido ao sistema”), por exemplo: antigamente, não havia janelas – programas ocupavam a tela toda, e muitas vezes o único jeito de sair deles era apertar o SysRq. Hoje a tecla se juntou ao útil Print Screen e, se funcionar, é junto com Alt.

… INSERT?
Ele não deveria se chamar Insert, mas Overscript: como o pc deixa ele ligado, ao apertá-lo você está é desligando a função “inserir” e ligando o “sobrescrever”. Resta a dúvida: quando você dispensaria o Insert? Há um caso: quando o campo de preenchimento é muito curto, convém escrever por cima para não perder de vista o que escreveu antes.

… SCROLL LOCK?
No tempo em que não havia barra de rolagem, o Scroll Lock era um grande amigo: era só apertá-lo que as setas deixavam de mover o cursor e moviam a tela. Hoje, como até os mouses têm botão de
rolagem, o Scroll Lock jaz esquecido. Só o Excel ainda liga pra ele: com a tecla acionada, você pode circular pela planilha sem perder uma seleção prévia de células.

… PAUSE/BREAK?
Jovens têm até dificuldade de imaginar, mas antes das janelas do Windows havia uma tela preta com letras brancas chamada DOS. Nela, o simples ato de checar o conteúdo de uma pasta gerava uma lista de arquivos que passava correndo, como créditos de filme. O Pause pausava esse processo,
e o Break o parava de vez. Bendita seja, interface gráfica.

I just added SQLite bulk updates for in-browser databases (native databases coming soon) to the QuickConnect iPhone framework (1.6 beta 3).  I did this by creating and adding to the framework an object called DBScript.  It is transactionally safe.  If one of your updates in the script fails all changes are rolled back.

It is also easy to use.  The code below comes from the databaseDefinition.js file of the new BrowserDBScript dashcode example.  In it a link to the database is established using the DataAccessObject.  Then the DBScript object is created and a series of SQL statements are added to the script.  Lastly, the script is executed.  Notice that the script object works for both standard and prepared statements.

If you are using this after a data pull from a network resource or after querying the user for information to insert, make sure you use a prepared statement type call to avoid SQL insertion attacks.

/*

* An example of how to use the DBScript object to populate a database.

* This will be done as a single transaction and is transactionally safe.

* This means that all changes will be rolled back if any

* database error happens.

*/

//create or connect to the in-UIWebView database

var database = new DataAccessObject(“WelcomeExample”, “1.0″, “Welcome example”, 20);

//create the script object

var bulkInsertScript = new DBScript(database);

//add all statements to the script object

bulkInsertScript.addStatement(“CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS names (id INTEGER UNIQUE, name TEXT)”);

bulkInsertScript.addStatement(“INSERT INTO names VALUES(1,’Bob’)”);

bulkInsertScript.addStatement(“INSERT INTO names VALUES(2,’Sue’)”);

//and example of using a prepared statement

bulkInsertScript.addStatement(“INSERT INTO names VALUES(?,?)”,[3,"Jose"]);

bulkInsertScript.addStatement(“INSERT INTO names VALUES(4,’Bjorn’)”);

bulkInsertScript.addStatement(“INSERT INTO names VALUES(5,’Jean’)”);

bulkInsertScript.addStatement(“INSERT INTO names VALUES(6,’Gustav’)”);

//execute all statements within a transaction

bulkInsertScript.executeSetDataScript();

Keeping Equipment Clean:  One Key to Success

by James Goulding III

Getting good coaching, watching video, and working in a pro shop have all been valuable tools that have helped me become a successful bowler.  But, there is also another part of my game that is important on a weekly basis, and that is taking care of my bowling equipment so that it takes care of me on the lanes when I need it.  What I mean is, I can’t expect to bowling balls to perform at their peak all the time if I am not willing to put in some time of my own to make sure factors such as lane oil, rubber marks, track grooves, and such don’t take away from the balls performance.  A little bit of extra time spent on cleaning and maintaining your bowling equipment goes a long way to not only keeping your bowling balls working at their optimum level, but also extends their life so that it saves you money on buying new equipment in the long run.  I am going to discuss a few areas where bowlers need to pay attention to, which is daily maintenance, bi-monthly maintenance, and annual maintenance.

DAILY MAINTENANCE

When I write this, I don’t mean go in your bowling bag every day and do the following steps, but rather after each time you bowl a league set, tournament, etc. before the next time you bowl.  First off, I recommend all bowlers use a microfiber towel to wipe the bowling ball off.  This type of towel gets the oil off of the surface of the ball, without scratching the coverstock or leaving marks. 

Secondly, you should take a USBC approved bowling ball cleaner with you in your bowling bag, and use it to thoroughly clean your bowling equipment IMMEDIATELY after you are done bowling, before you get home.  I can not stress enough the importance of getting the lane oil and dirt out of the coverstock as soon as possible, as with the porous coverstocks on resin bowling equipment, it takes no time at all for the oil to “soak” into the cover and stay in the ball.  This causes loss of hooking action, and possibly premature ball death due to it being contaminated with lane oil deep in the coverstock.  By simply cleaning the ball as soon as you are done, you have a very good chance of removing most of the oil from the outer surface of the ball, before it has a chance to soak in and cause long-term damage to your bowling equipment.

Lastly, invest in a ball carrier to put each of your bowling balls in before you put them in your bowling bag.  These carriers are fairly cheap (in the $10 range) but by putting your ball in them, you are protecting it against anything sticking out of your bowling bag that could damage it, as well as protecting it from getting cracked in case you accidently drop it.  Also, if you have a locker, it prevents the ball from rolling around and getting scratched up from any rocks or debris in the locker. 

BI-MONTHLY MAINTENANCE

Calling it bi-monthly maintenance is a “loose” term, what I mean is the following steps should be taken every 50  games or so (which would be bi-monthly if you bowl twice a week).  What I am referring to is giving your ball a hot water bath so that you remove any lane oil that has been soaked into the deeper parts of the coverstock.  Using the towel and cleaners works good to get MOST of the oil out of your ball night in and night out, but to get the oil that is missed, you need to do something that can extract the oil out where the cleaner and towel can’t reach.  This is where the hot water bath comes in.

First, I recommend you sand your ball down to about a 400 grit surface before putting the ball in any water bath.  This can be done with regular 400 grit sandpaper, or a maroon scotch brite pad, or even a 500 abralon pad will suffice.  What this does is it opens up the pores of the ball, allowing the oil to escape out when the ball is submerged in the water bath.  If you do not have any sandpaper, doing the bath is technically “better than nothing”, but you can always go to your local pro shop and ask them to sand it for you before you do the bath, so doing that would be an option as well. 

As far as the actual bath goes, the biggest thing to remember is to make sure the water temp. does not exceed 140 degrees.  If your water is hotter than 140 degrees, you run the risk or removing plasticisers in the ball, which will harden the resin and ruin the bowling ball.  If you are not sure how hot your water temp. runs, as long as the water is not too hot to put your hand in for an extended period of time, that should suffice for the water bath.  Using an actual thermometer is best, but use you head, don’t just “drop” the ball in the water if it is too hot to handle.

When you start running the water, put in a few drops of liquid dish soap (DAWN or equivalent) that will be used ot help break up the lane oil and grease in the coverstock.  Fill a bucket up enough so that the ball will be completely submerged below the surface and then place the ball gently in the bucket.  Some people like to tape over the finger and thumb holes, but I do not recommend doing this.  You are blocking a route of escape for oil and dirt, and the bath does not hurt finger or thumb inserts since it is just water and dish soap.  At this point, you let the ball soak for approximately 15 minutes and place on the counter on a towel ot let the remainder of the water drip off of the ball.  You will notice an oily/water type mixture on the surface of the ball, especially if it has been a very long time since this process has been done (if ever).  Wipe the surface clean using a microfiber towel (or equivalent) until it is dry.  If you are seeing this oily mixture on the surface, you need to perform the water bath again, until you no longer see any oil come to the surface of the bowling ball.  I would recommend changing the water each time to start fresh, and not have any oil floating around in the water when you re-submerge the ball.  Once the ball has only water on the surface (and on oil or dirt), you are done.  It may take 2-3 15 minute sessions to get all the oil out, but it is well worth it.  Give the ball ample time to dry before use again, I would recommend 24 hours to  make sure all the water has gotten out of the coverstock.

Now, once the water bath is complete, you need to take the coverstock of the ball back to whatever the factory finish was on the ball.  This will ensure you get the same type of reaction you are used to out of your bowling ball.  If you do not have the tools at home to do this, take it to your local pro shop and have them complete the process.

ANNUAL MAINTENANCE

This section is going to deal with a few of the things bowlers should do once a season to their bowling balls to make sure they last long, and perform well.  I have covered ways to keep oil out of the ball, but now I will get into what to do when the ball becomes “tracked up” with all the marks from the lanes.  When a bowling ball has more than 80-100 games on it, it loses its polish (if it is a polished ball), and also gets a series of grooves in the coverstock form the places that the ball touches the lane consistently.  This has an adverse effect on your ball motion, and causes it to not perform at a peak level.  The only way to get these grooves out (an re-polish the ball) is with a resurfacing.  This will remove the scratches and gouges and get the ball back to like-new performance.

When I resurface bowling balls, I like to take them down to a 220 grit surface, sanding the ball in (4) different directions in a ball spinner.  The first two directions are having the finger holes and thumb holes both sit horizontally, parallel with the top of the ball spinner.  Once you sand that side of the ball, flip it over 180 degrees to do the other side.  Then when you’re done on both of those sides of the bowling ball, position the ball so that the fingers and thumb are on top, pretty much horizontal (perpindicular) to the ball spinner.  Sand the ball with the fingers and thumb up, and then turn the ball 180 degrees to sand the other side of the ball.  At this point, you are done with the 220 grit (or whatever other grit you might be using).  Sand the ball this way for each grit, until you reach the final grit that the ball came in at from the factory.  Refer to the bowling ball companies website or sheet that came with the ball to make sure you get the correct final surface for your bowling ball. 

Also, if the ball requires a polishing process, polish it in the same (4) directions you sanded the ball in to ensure you are doing things the same way all the time.  Refer to the company recommendations for what type of polish to use on your bowling ball to achieve the correct reaction on your bowling ball.  If you do not feel comfortable doing this process, which can be very time-consuming, take the ball to your local pro shop and have them complete the process for you.  Usually this costs in the $25-40 range, varying from shop to shop and how bad the ball was to begin with for the cost of resurfacing.  That is still much cheaper than having to buy a new ball because your old one “died” from lack of proper maintenance.

The last thing I will recommend for yearly maintenance is to change your finger inserts (if you use them) in your ball.  Over the course of a season, the inserts become worn out, causing them to feel big or slippery since there is a good chance there is some lane oil and dirt mixed into the rubber inserts.  It costs between $5-10 for a new pair from your local pro shop, and should be done at least once a season (probably more if you bowl more than twice per week).  When it comes to your thumb, also make sure you change out your thumb tape regularly, because the sweat from your thumb, as well as the oil and dirt from the lane, causes the tape to lose its grip.  Those two simple steps can go a long way to making you feel comfortable all the time in your bowling ball.

Well, that is all I have for tips to keep your bowling equipment in tip-top shape.  Today’s bowling balls are more aggressive and condition specific than ever, and hopefully with the methods I discussed earlier, you can keep those bowling balls running at peak performance, and able to be used for the right conditions they were intended for.  The opinions expressed in this blog post are my own, and do not reflect the opinion of the MSUSBC.  Thank you for reading, and feel free to comment on anything you see here, I will try and respond as quickly as possible.  Good luck, and good bowling!

Here is the preview for Smart Source and Red Plum for the Sunday Oct. 25 paper.

Looks like a slim week for me (but hey, it could still be good for you!), other than ordering some diaper coupons. Ah well, I still have sooooo many coupons to cut that I’m behind on so a slow week is good for me!

Source : http://sqlserver2000.databases.aspfaq.com/how-do-i-load-text-or-csv-file-data-into-sql-server.html

If you need to load data into SQL Server (e.g. from log files, csv files, chat transcripts etc), then chances are, you’re going to be making good friends with the BULK INSERT command. 
 
You can specify row and column delimiters, making it easy to import files in comma-separated values (CSV), Tab-separated values (TSV), or any other delimiter (e.g. the pipe character is commonly used, since it rarely exists in valid data). You can also tell it to skip any number of header rows (these are fairly common in many log file formats). 
 
So, let’s run through a few examples. We have this table: 
 

 
And let’s say we have this CSV file, saced as c:\file1.csv: 
 

 
The command to bulk insert this data would be: 
 

 
Now, if we had tab-separated values, it would look like this: 
 

 
Note that a row delimiter often has to be experimented with, because often log files produce “columns” in the table by putting the value and then the delimiter. So, in many cases, you might actually be looking to separate rows by column delimiter + row delimiter. So, the last column has a dangling column delimiter that isn’t really necessary (but we have to deal with it). I currently have processes that look like this, to deal with files that have trailing tab characters after every column: 
 

 
And earlier I mentioned the case where you have header rows that are almost never going to match the data types of the target table (and you wouldn’t want the headers mixed in with the data, even if all the data types were character). So, let’s say the CSV file actually looked like this: 
 

 
If you try the BULK INSERT command from above, you will get this error: 
 

 
This is because the first row doesn’t contain valid data, and the insert fails. We could tell BULK INSERT to ignore the first row in the data file, by specifying the starting row with the FIRSTROW parameter: 
 

 
Finally, you can also specify how many errors you want to allow before considering that the BULK INSERT failed. We can never really be confident that a log file from some external source will always have “perfect” data in it. Failures can occur when you have character data that is too big for the column in the table, or if you have a string in an integer column, or if your date is malformed, or several other potential scenarios. So, you probably want some threshold where more than n rows will cause the BULK INSERT to fail. You can specify this limit using the MAXERRORS parameter. (I’ve already requested for Yukon that they add a MAXERRORPERCENT so that there will be an appropriate failure ratio for both large and small files.) 
 

 
You can also use bcp to move data from a flat file into an existing table. BULK INSERT and the bcp utility are documented in Books Online.
