Your Superb Online Presence is the Success Mantra for your Business (Online).

It is very important for your business 2 have a stronger web presence. And when you have a website, it should look more professional to win the trust and confidence of your website's visitors. Your website's visitors are your potential customer. They visit many websites regularly, or from time to time. So, they have a general idea and have built a subtle subconscious sense of a website from where they might be interested in buying products or services. So, how would you determine whether your website generates that confidence in your website's visitors/potential customer? Well, if you have competitors(You are gifted if you dont' have one) then visit your successful competitor's websites. Then visit your own site. When you are at your own site, think differently... think out of the box... and unbiasedly ask yourself - Does your website generate much interest/confidence in you( as a stranger visiting the website for the first time) to buy products or services f...

the type initializer for threw an excpetion ...??? HRESULT:0x8004294F

Recently I faced this problem. It took me a while to understand where did I falter.  One of my client was running a Membership Management/Subscription software developed by me. Data was saved in an Access File, as it was a standalone application. Soon, his requirement changed. He needed the data to be available globally. Time was scarce, so I decided against developing a web-application and just convert the Access database to MySql and host it on a server. I did all the modifications inside the code to suite my purpose. The goal was to let him have the rich client experience with the data available online. Application setup would also be available online for him to download, install and run it where-ever(windows machine) he would want to. After completing the code transformation, I got stuck at this point. This error was staring at me blankly - the type initializer for <Module> threw an excpetion, with  HRESULT: 0x8004294F as a warning. I tried searching for ...

Starting up and stopping Oracle Listener and iSqlPlus

Starting up and stopping Oracle's Listner Service and httpd service for iSqlPlus. I know it's a lame, but what the heck. Someone may be benefitted. In the last post I installed Oracle 9i on RHEL5. But my Oracle agent dint startup. Which mean I have to startup and stop aforementioned services manually till I could configure the Agent.  Well the commands are quite simple. To startup Oracle's Listner Service - $lsnrctl start To Stop the listner- $lsnrctl stop To start the httpd server for iSqlPlus -  $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/bin/apachectl start To stop the httpd server for iSqlPlus -  $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/bin/apachectl stop I have made two shell-script for these operation, just to ease my finger from over-typing. These files and their contents are: isqlplusstart.sh #[Content] lsnrctl start ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/bin/apachectl start #[End Content] and isqlplusstop.sh #[Content] lsnrctl stop ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/bin/apachectl stop #[End Content] I made them execu...

Installing Oracle 9i on RHEL5. (x86)

I must warn you that this article is as it is. It worked when I was installing the combo - a long time ago. I am not sure about the links available in this article. I am not maintaining this article anymore, (other than sprucing it up a bit for better reading). I am completely out of touch with RHEL or Oracle for that matter. Still, dont lose your heart yet. I am sure, with proper searching using the big brother - Google, you will find lots of more information relating to your work to help you finish what you are doing. Foreword Recently I joined Sqlstar International for my Oracle DBA course. Everything was going smooth. I completed my SQL Fundamentals with Oracle installed on Windows in my pc. But when classes started for DBA Fundamentals 1 I was at loss, as in my institute oracle was installed on Redhat Linux platform. I could have done all the solution of the text on windows but I decided to configure my own Linux box and install oracle on it to simulate the class environment....
