the weird behavior of QDataTable
by Prabu Subroto 29 Sep '04

29 Sep '04

Dear my friends... I am developing a database application with Qt and SuSE 9.1 . My QDataTable can retrieve and display the content of a table (from postgres) properly. I make the cursor with QSqlSelectCursor. But the problem is : if I clicked on of its row (record), than the displayed record (which I clicked) disappear from the QDataTable. Why is it so? Thank you very much in advance. ========= QSqlDatabase * bd = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QPSQL7"); bd->setHostName("192.168.23.1"); bd->setDatabaseName("kv"); bd->setUserName("postgres"); bd->setPassword("honestly"); if ( ! bd->open() ) { bd->lastError().showMessage(); return; } QString stringsql = QString("select c.custid, company, title, salutation, firstname, lastname, address, postcode, city, areacode, phone, mobilephone, fax, email, b.sent from %1 as c, sentbrochure as b where c.custid=b.custid order by custid") .arg(viewnya); QSqlSelectCursor * cur = new QSqlSelectCursor(stringsql, bd); custdataTable->setSqlCursor(cur, true, false); custdataTable->refresh(); __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

I've trouble making bash script to move files from a directory to a new directory--(named as the files' extension name). For example: moving files *.pdf on /foo/ to /foo/pdf/, but there are so many extension. But how ? Thx in advance. --- ody

My teapot's broken!
by Steven T. Hatton 29 Sep '04

29 Sep '04

This was posted to the OpenSceneGraph mailing list, but I'm not sure if the problem isn't with (my) SuSE implementation. My system is usually tweaked beyond all recognition, so determining if I broke it can be tricky. Could someone else verify that this works, or fails on their system? Here's where to get the goods: Prerequisites: http://openthreads.sourceforge.net/ http://www.andesengineering.com/Producer/download.html OSG: http://openscenegraph.sourceforge.net/ http://openscenegraph.sourceforge.net/downloads/index.html Crash course in configuration, building and installing: I went into the respective Make/makedef's and hardwired the INST_LOCATION = $(WHEREIPUTIT). I believe that was unnecessary, but I was having problems with the OSG install, so I tried to force the issue. I believe I can simply `make INST_LOCATION = $(OSG) install' assuming the environment is configures as shown below. Is that a correct assumption? I also put this in my ~/.bashrc export OPENTHREADS=$ORG/openthreads export OPENTHREADS_INC_DIR=$OPENTHREADS/include export OPENTHREADS_LIB_DIR=$OPENTHREADS/lib export OPENPRODUCER=$COM/andesengeneering/openproducer export PRODUCER_INC_DIR=$OPENPRODUCER/include export PRODUCER_LIB_DIR=$OPENPRODUCER/lib export OSG=$ORG/osg # added to LIBRARY_PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH and CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH /************* Du Problem ******************/ When I run the teapot example from the OSG CVS, the surface has rectangular or parallellogram holes appearing throughout the image.

Displaying an image in the QDataTable::paintField with QLabel. Is it possible?
by Prabu Subroto 28 Sep '04

28 Sep '04

Dear friends.... I am writing a database application with Qt 3.2 and SuSE 9.1. Each sales must write a report for the sales supervisor after the sales call a customer. one of the field in the report content a smiley (image file) to represent(describe) the reaction of the customer. The smiley field has content in the form of ascii art such as : ":(", ":-)", ":X" etc. The sales reports are displayed in QDataTable. But I want the sales supervisor does not see the ascii art but the corresponded image file which stored in a subdirectory of my database application. So my code should change for example ":)" into the file "1.png". I want to use this : void QDataTable::paintField ( QPainter * p, const QSqlField * field, const QRect & cr, bool selected ) [virtual protected] I plotted the QDataTable in a UI Form with QtDesigner. Is it possible to draw an image file into QDataTable with QLabel instead of QPainter ? If yes, how? I have second question, if the form an sql query (content ascii art like this : ":)" why this code comes with error ? QString noapp = noapplineEdit.text(); //nomor appointment QString sid = sidlineEdit.text(); //SalesID QString cid = cidlineEdit.text(); //Customer ID QString smiley = slineEdit.text(); //Smiley in ascii art QString report = rlineEdit.text(); //report dalam kalimat biasa QString reportsales = QString (insert into sales report(nomerappointment, salesid, custid, smiley, report) values('%1', '%1', '%1', '%1', '%1') .arg(noapp) .arg(sid) .arg(cid) .arg(smiley) .arg(report); In PHP I can use "\" so I make like this : $smiley = "\:)" but should I do in C++ (Qt)?

RE: [suse-programming-e] Problems with POSIX Asynchronous IO

FYI: aiotest is working fine on my SuSE 9.1 Personal box. -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Gregan [mailto:kinetik@orcon.net.nz] Sent: 27. september 2004 11:33 To: suse-programming-e(a)suse.com Subject: [suse-programming-e] Problems with POSIX Asynchronous IO Hi all, I'm having some problems with the POSIX Asynchronous IO support on a SLES 9 box I've been working with. The machine has all of the available SLES 9 updates applied. After submitting a single IO using the POSIX AIO interface provided by glibc, I notice that the worker thread created by glibc enters a tight loop and consumes 100% of one CPU. Once this occurs, AIO continues to work fine (other than this problem), but the worker thread will remain in this state until the program exits. The kernel does not log any errors during the occurrence of this problem, and the machine has otherwise been running fine. I've written a small test case to reproduce the problem I'm seeing (attached as aiotest.c). Build the test case using 'cc -Wall -o aiotest aiotest.c -lrt' and run it--it'll create an 8MB file in the current directory, submit a single 128kB IO, and then sleep for 10 seconds. The test case is small and does little error checking; for the sake of this test case, I prefer exiting to handling any errors nicely. Since writing the test case, I've reproduced the problem on a number of other SLES 9 boxes, both x86 and z/Series. The same test case, when run on a SLES 8 box or RHEL 3AS box runs without issue, and the CPU is close to idle, as expected. I suspect the problem is within either the new kernel AIO library provided as /usr/lib/librtkaio.so.1, with the kernel, or an interaction between the two. RHEL 3AS also provides librtkaio for kernel AIO, and it seems to be a new addition to SLES 9 as it was not present on my SLES 8 test boxes. Running aiotest with LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.0 to force use of the older pre-NPTL glibc results in the userspace AIO interface provided by librt.so.1 being used, and the test case runs without consuming excessive CPU. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

() Further observation of the worker thread indicates that it spins inside handle_kernel_aio(), which is part of kaio_misc.c in the rtkaio module of glibc. I've quickly compared the source of the rtkaio module from SLES 9 and a RHEL 3AS box. The source of the modules in each glibc is identical, which suggests that the difference between the working RHEL 3AS box and the broken SLES 9 box lies elsewhere in the glibc code, or within the kernel. Running the test case using 'strace -f' shows thousands syscalls like the one below. Compared to a run on a RHEL 3AS box, the number of these io_getevents() calls is abnormally high. Example output from 'strace -f ./aiotest': [...] [pid 23317] io_getevents(0x4017f000, 0, 0xa, 0x4038894c, 0) = 0 [...the line above is repeated thousands of times...] Cheers, -mjg -- Matthew Gregan |/ /| kinetik(a)orcon.net.nz
