- New MD5( expC ) function to calculate an MD5 crypto key from any character expression
- New MD5FILE( expC ) function calculates an MD5 crypto key for a given filename. If the filename is a pattern e.g *.* it will calculate the key across all files matching the pattern

This is a good primer for getting familiar with using Infiniband with Redhat/Centos Linux.

Getting Started with InfiniBand
The first step to using a new infiniband based network is to get the right packages installed. These are the infiniband related packages we ship and what they are there for (Note, the Fedora packages have not all been built or pushed to the repos yet, so their mention here is as a "Coming soon" variety, not an already done variety):

Recital is a dynamic programming language with an embedded high performance database engine particularly well suited for the development and deployment of high transaction throughput applications.
The Recital database engine is not a standalone process with which the application program communicates. Instead, the Recital database is an integral part of any applications developed in Recital.
Recital implements most of the SQL-99 standard for SQL, but also provides lower level navigational data access for performing high transaction throughput. It is the choice of the application developer whether to use SQL, navigational data access, or a combination of both depending upon the type of application being developed.
The Recital database engine, although operating as an embedded database in the user process, multiple users and other background processes may access the same data concurrently. Read accesses are satisfied in parallel. Recital uses automatic record level locking when performing database updates. This provides for a high degree of database concurrency and superior application performance and differentiates the Recital database from other embeddable databases such as sqlite that locks the entire database file during writing.
Key features of the Recital scripting language include:
- High performance database application scripting language
- Modern object-oriented language features
- Easy to learn, easy to use
- Fast, just-in-time compiled
- Loosely-typed
- Garbage collected
- Static arrays, Associative arrays and objects
- Develop desktop or web applications
- Cross-platform support
- Extensive built-in functions
- Superb built-in SQL command integration
- Navigational data access for the most demanding applications
- Scripting language is upward compatible with FoxPRO
Key features of the Recital database include:
- A broad subset of ANSI SQL 99, as well as extensions
- Cross-platform support
- Stored procedures
- Triggers
- Cursors
- Updatable Views
- System Tables
- Query caching
- Sub-SELECTs (i.e. nested SELECTs)
- Embedded database library
- Fault tolerant clustering support
- Chronological data versioning with database timelines
- Optional DES3 encrypted data
- Hot backup
- Client drivers for ODBC, JDBC and .NET
After split brain has been detected, one node will always have the resource in a StandAlone connection state. The other might either also be in the StandAlone state (if both nodes detected the split brain simultaneously), or in WFConnection (if the peer tore down the connection before the other node had a chance to detect split brain).
At this point, unless you configured DRBD to automatically recover from split brain, you must manually intervene by selecting one node whose modifications will be discarded (this node is referred to as the split brain victim). This intervention is made with the following commands:
# drbdadm secondary resource
# drbdadm disconnect resource
# drbdadm -- --discard-my-data connect resource
On the other node (the split brain survivor), if its connection state is also StandAlone, you would enter:
# drbdadm connect resource
You may omit this step if the node is already in the WFConnection state; it will then reconnect automatically.
If all else fails and the machines are still in a split-brain condition then on the secondary (backup) machine issue:
drbdadm invalidate resource

The getUIComponentBitmapData method can create bitmapdata for a given IUIComponent. Pass any UIcomponent to get its respective bitmapdata.
public static function getUIComponentBitmapData(target:IUIComponent):BitmapData {
var resultBitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(target.width, target.height);
var m:Matrix = new Matrix();
resultBitmapData.draw(target, m);
return resultBitmapData;
}
Now convert the bitmapdata to a jpeg bytearray.
private static function encodeToJPEG(data:BitmapData, quality:Number = 75):ByteArray {
var encoder:JPGEncoder = new JPGEncoder(quality);
return encoder.encode(data);
}
Now encode the ByteArray into Base64.
public static function base64Encode(data:ByteArray):String {
var encoder:Base64Encoder = new Base64Encoder();
encoder.encodeBytes(data);
return encoder.flush();
}
Upload the base64 encoded ByteArray to the server.
public static uploadData():void {
var url:String = "saveFile.php";
var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
urlRequest.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
var urlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var urlVariables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
urlVariables.file = jpgEncodedFile; // as returned from base64Encode()
urlLoader.data = urlVariables;
urlLoader.load(urlRequest);
}
The saveFile.php file on the server.
Here's how to set up field validation based on dynamic values from another table.
Using the products.dbf table from the southwind sample database, validation can be added to the categoryid field to ensure it matches an existing categoryid from the categories.dbf table.
open database southwindThe rlookup() function checks whether an expression exists in the index (master or specified) of the specified table . An attempt to update categoryid with a value not in the list will give an error: Validation on field 'CATEGORYID' failed.
alter table products add constraint;
(categoryid set check rlookup(products.categoryid,categories))
If you have access to the Recital Workbench, you can use the modify structure worksurface to add and alter your dictionary entries, including a customized error message if required.
