how randomly select table row in t-sql based on applied weight candidate rows? for example, have set of rows in table weighted @ 50, 25, , 25 (which adds 100 not need to), , want select 1 of them randomly statistical outcome equivalent respective weight. dane's answer includes self joins in way introduces square law. (n*n/2) rows after join there n rows in table. what more ideal able parse table once. declare @id int, @weight_sum int, @weight_point int declare @table table (id int, weight int) insert @table(id, weight) values(1, 50) insert @table(id, weight) values(2, 25) insert @table(id, weight) values(3, 25) select @weight_sum = sum(weight) @table select @weight_point = floor(((@weight_sum - 1) * rand() + 1), 0) select @id = case when @weight_point < 0 @id else [table].id end, @weight_point = @weight_point - [table].weight @table [table] order [table].weight desc this go through table, setting @id each record's id value while @ ...

what best way keep asp:button displaying it's url on status bar of browser? button defines this: <asp:button id="btnfind" runat="server" text="find info" onclick="btnfind_click"> </asp:button> update: this appears specific ie7, ie6 , ff not show url in status bar. i use ff never noticed this, link in fact appear in status bar in ie.. i dont think can overwrite :( thought maybe setting tooltip (al la "title") property might it.. seems not.. looking @ source, appears found, browser issue, don't think can in code.. :( update yeah, looks ie posts whatever form action is.. can't see way override it, yet.. perhaps try explicitly setting via js? update ii done more googleing. don't think there "nice" way of doing it.. unless remove form , post data other way.. is worth much? tends page name?

prefixing variable , method names underscore common convention marking things private. why methods on page tracker class in google analytics tracking code ( ga.js ) start underscore, ones public, _gettracker , _trackpageview ? because google can't bothered follow module pattern , therefore don't want accidental collisions in global namespace?

a former coworker insisted database more tables fewer columns each better 1 fewer tables more columns each. example rather customer table name, address, city, state, zip, etc. columns, have name table, address table, city table, etc. he argued design more efficient , flexible. perhaps more flexible, not qualified comment on efficiency. if more efficient, think gains may outweighed added complexity. so, there significant benefits more tables fewer columns on fewer tables more columns? i have few simple rules of thumb follow when designing databases, think can used make decisions this.... favor normalization. denormalization form of optimization, requisite tradeoffs, , such should approached yagni attitude. make sure client code referencing database decoupled enough schema reworking doesn't necessitate major redesign of client(s). don't afraid denormalize when provides clear benefit performance or query complexity. use views or downstream tables impleme...

what's difference between these defining; #include "qwebview" class qwebview; class qwebview; called forward declaration . means, can't access details of class (like methods/public variables) until type declared. forward declaration, tells compiler that particular type exists , whereas full include tells compiler, methods etc. class provides. if wan't use type in declaration, it's fine. soon, call method on variable of type qwebview , error, if don't include full declaration.

i have code this: [acceptverbs(httpverbs.post)] public actionresult save([bind(prefix="")]person person) { string s = person.property; /* ... */ } but throws error: "cannot use local variable 'person' before declared". what simple thing missing? it receiving error because same variable being declared later in same code block. according compiler rules, variable reference refer default matching declaration withing same block if same declaration exists outside of block in in logical scope flow. so in short, check see if variable isnt being declared later on(a couple of lines down) in same application block.

here's call validate function. works fine code. $('#createform').validate(function () { }); but when try modify bit, whole validation stop working: $('#createform').validate(function () { errorplacement: function(error, element) { error.insertafter(element); }, debug:true }); any idea? you shouldn't have function() in there. change to: $('#createform').validate( { errorplacement: function(error, element) { error.insertafter(element); }, debug:true } ); the stuff in { } options. it's not function :)

i have port scanning application uses work queues , threads. it uses simple tcp connections , spends lot of time waiting packets come (up half second). threads don't need execute (i.e. first half sends packet, context switch, stuff, comes thread has network data waiting it). i suspect can improve performance modifying sys.setcheckinterval default of 100 (which lets 100 bytecodes execute before switching thread). but without knowing how many bytecodes executing in thread or function i'm flying blind , guessing values, testing , relying on testing shows measurable difference (which difficult since amount of code being executed minimal; simple socket connection, network jitter affect measurements more changing sys.setcheckinterval). thus find out how many bytecodes in code executions (i.e. total function or in execution of thread) can make more intelligent guesses @ set sys.setcheckinterval to. for higher level (method, class) wise, dis module should help. ...
