This is a good heads up. I'll have to research on vb. i think the last time i used it was in my second year... but i believe sql will be smoother
Mind you, that is actually VB.NET. I believe libraries for PHP also exists. I guess that is what dhtml18 is talking about in his post.

If a LASTMA officer is caught trying to bring contraband items into the country won't he be arrested by Customs??

All Law Enforcement Personnel MUST be law-abiding.

sad


The good thing is the evidence they have left behind while escaping. I just hope this will be used to teach the bunch of hoodlums lessons so that they know they are not above the law.

Politics / Re: Why Can't People Observe GEJ Achievement ? by uken73(m): 10:34pm On Aug 31, 2014
austertee01: Reflecting on some major achievements of GEJ administration, from electricity, transportation, Health, banking industry, manufacturing and Business investment....

I wonder why people will not see all these and appreciate this innocent man for once. Though, am not a fan of GEJ or any Political office holder but the truth must be told.

#MyOpinion

Goodluck has tried. I only wish he could properly handle insecurity too. It's not funny having development but without peace of mind to enjoy the development. I wouldn't mind seeing a new person from any party. Hopefully a new face would come with new ideas. My opinion.

glory2glory: Punch newspaper is ignorant. The people are under surveillance with their movements restricted in their homes, they are communicated to daily. They only move them to quarantine or isolation centres if they develop symptoms. This was how it was done in Lagos. Presently, 3 persons have symptoms and have been moved to the isolation centres.

Reporters like making sensations for headlines. That's what sells their news.

Your own idea might shed some light. What language do u use?
I currently use mostly VB.NET. But other languages I have knowledge of include Java, C#.NET & C++(been ages I last did a project on that). I had used Oracle PL/SQL for my final year project but have not done anything with it since then.

In VB you would reference an appropriate library (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel) for excel manipulations

'Following are code snippets to access Excel

Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop 'Importing of supporting library for Microsoft Office operations

Dim exApp As Excel.Application = New Excel.Application() 'Create an excel application object
Dim wkbook As Excel.Workbook = exApp.Workbooks.Open("c:\excelfile.xls", , True) 'Open the excel file
Dim BroadSheet As Excel.Worksheet = wkbook.Worksheets("BroadSheet"wink 'Select a particular worksheet to work on.
Dim cell As Excel.Range = BroadSheet.Cells(1, 2) 'select a cell at row 1, column 2
cell.Value = "some value" 'set a new value to the selected cell
Dim cellValue as String=cell.value 'read the value from the selected cell.

'following requests releases of resources held by the variables by invoking a method named releaseObject.

releaseObject(exApp)
releaseObject(wkbook)
releaseObject(BroadSheet)


'Implemention of the release object method
Private Shared Sub releaseObject(ByVal obj As Object)
Try
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(obj)
obj = Nothing
Catch ex As Exception
obj = Nothing
Finally
GC.Collect()
End Try
End Sub

Programming / Re: Java JDBC Resultset.next PROBLEM by uken73(m): 8:08pm On Aug 30, 2014
Capnd143: please help me check the code above! Thanks
Check the Javanian's recommendation. That's the logical way to go.

The summary of the recommendation is, you pre-load your data say in the constructor.
You now have the data in the Resultset and can make it to start up with displaying the 1st Record in the list.
Then you fetch the next record from the ResultSet by moving the cursor on an ActionEvent of your Next button.
So each time the mouse is clicked, the cursor is advanced one step to fetch the next record.

However, to add to that,

There should also be provision to close the database connection so as to release the scarce resource.
That should be "cont.close();" as the last statement after ResultSet rs3=stmtt.executeQuery(SQL); in the InitDatabase() method.
I also think Javanian missed the catch handler section for the try blocks including that of the InitDatabase method.
I would have declared my connection before the try block without initialization, so that I can have access to the variable in the catch handler section of the try block. That would be the best place to close the database connection.

Note; It's been years since I last handled a project with Java, I may have missed some other things.

Linus impact eclipse gate. In d third wrld, if not for piracy most ppl in 3rd wrld wouldnt b able to use a computer, or theyd b left with a stripped down budget os.
Full of monitorg spyware,reportg to microsoft.
Linus, did what the free software foundation struggled to do but failed miserably at i.e to create a free os. And because of linux version control took off, free software bcame popular, and alternatve free /open source organizations sprung up.Namely, Apache.
If linux didnt succeed, mysql ,php,perl wudve had a hard time gettg acceptance by younger generation of programmers. Wat wud they run on? Unix? Bsd? Php-apache-mysql-bsd? *yuck*.
Also windows was pushg its tech in this areas.
Even today, bsd is very unpopular.
Linux may not b popular on d desktop but elsewhere it is king.
Super computers, web servers, run linux.
What is d value of a typical linux distro ppl download for free?
Its estimate runs into billions of dollars.
A Linux distro is d highest grade free man made product anybody in d wrld has ever consumed-outside of free high quality education (which is only available in very few countries).
(this is a big claim )
True, Linus deserves respect. But our world doesn't give you much respect without seeing money on you.

True but do u think that Java and YouTube would have been popular and would have been in the game this long (FOR FREE) if it wasnt for Larry Ellison and Google? If Yahoo wasn't making money with search engines, do u think that Google would have decided to make a search engine in the 1st place? Everything in life is a chain reaction to its predecessor. Think about Nairaland, Mr. Seun Osewa probably created Nairaland because he saw the idea somewhere on the internet. Now YM is doing the same because they saw Nairaland. Facebook saw MySpace. IrokoTV saw YouTube. Android saw iPhone which saw the Palm phone back in the days. Bill Gates saw Steve Jobs b4 he made a GUI. Steve Jobs (Steve Woz) saw Xerox and a computer back in a magazine created by someone that no one even remembers.
Well, on that light, I wont really argue with with you, but I'm not sure how Larry Ellison of Oracle really connects with Android Apps neither do I understand how Jerry Yang of Yahoo contribute to YouTube. I've never heard of Google videos, but I bet Google saw something special in YouTube before deciding to go for it even when they already had something. If they didn't I'm sure some other bigger coy (maybe Microsoft or Facebook) would have. Java & it's owning coy was doing farely well before Oracle came into the picture. Mind you, Sun Microsystem had Sun Solaris Os (a linux breed) which was mostly used by Telecoms Coys.

It definitely can be done. But you didn't indicate what platform/language you wish to use so that you can get help from the right people who are knowledgeable with your preferred tool set.
Programming / Re: Java JDBC Resultset.next PROBLEM by uken73(m): 3:11pm On Aug 30, 2014
Yes Null Pointer Exception indicates an attempt to access an uninitialized variable and like Javanian has already said, it's most likely the ResultSet rs. Confirm that it has been initialized.

It's unfortunate that Linus is not an Entrepreneur and has not made the kind of money these other guys have made but as for the impact of his inputs, I think only Bill Gates can be a worthy comparison. I won't argue with someone who says he's more impactful than Bill though.

Without Jack Dorsey, there will be no Twitter. Without Larry Ellison there will be no Java, no Android Apps. Without Jerry Yang, there will be no Yahoo, no Google, no YouTube.
Guy, I think you got some of those names mixed up. You are right about Jack Dorsey & Jerry Yang rounding Yahoo. Larry Ellison is founder of Oracle Corp. Even though Oracle has bought Sun Microsystems, the original vendor of Java, James Gosling is the Inventor of Java. And Android would be attributed to Google and Google was founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin. YouTube however was founded by Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim.

This is a strong one. 2015 would pose lots of Surprises. This is just the beginning.

Atiku has said he is RUNNING in 2015.
Kwankwaso is also RUNNING....
Buhari is RUNNING as well...
Goodluck Jonathan will RUN...
Amaechi said he has interest in RUNNING.
Oshiomole is set to declare his interest to RUN.
Rochas Okorocha is also set to RUN.
Tambuwal is ready to RUN too.
And now Lamido also wants to RUN.

My questions are:
1. Where are they RUNNING to?
2. Who is pursuing them?
3. Do we have Olympics in Nigeria in 2015?
4. Is it 100m or 200m race? Abi na Marathon?
5. Which stadium are they using?
6. What about you reading this, Won't you RUN?

Please after reading this ...start RUNNING and don't look back..Because me too am also running.

3. Performance in External Exams (if there is no mass cheating)
4. Performance in Academic competitions as compared to other schools
