Simple tool but strong to test webservice

When you create a web service or you want to study a web service which a third party provides to you, you may need to code a test program to test your web service. It may consume your time.

With Web Service Studio, you won't worry about how to make a test program for testing a web service.  Web Service Studio invokes web methods interactively. You just provide a WSDL endpoint then click Get button to fetch the WSDL and displays the list of methods available. After that, you can choose any method and provide the required input parameters then click Invoke button to make the SOAP request to the server and receive the response with returned values.

Here is a picture for demo:

Happy coding!

MySQL: rounding numbers

1. ROUND(x,d)
x: value to round
d: decimal number
For example:
SELECT ROUND( 1 );   /* = 1 */
SELECT ROUND( 1.4 ); /* = 1 */
SELECT ROUND( 1.5 ); /* = 2 */
SELECT ROUND( -1.4 ); /* = -1 */
SELECT ROUND( -1.5 ); /* = -2 */
SELECT ROUND( 1.4212, 1 ); /* = 1.4 */
SELECT ROUND( 1.4512, 1 ); /* = 1.5 */

2. CEILING(x)

CEILING = ROUND x up to the nearest integer.

For example:

SELECT CEILING( 1 );   /* = 1 */

SELECT CEILING( 1.4 ); /* = 2 */

SELECT CEILING( 1.6 ); /* = 2 */

SELECT CEILING( -1.4 ); /* = -1 */

SELECT CEILING( -1.6 ); /* = -1 */

3. FLOOR(x)

FLOOR =  ROUND x down to the nearest integer.

For example:

SELECT FLOOR( 1 );   /* = 1 */

SELECT FLOOR( 1.4 ); /* = 1 */

SELECT FLOOR( 1.6 ); /* = 1 */

SELECT FLOOR( -1.4 ); /* = -2 */

SELECT FLOOR( -1.6 ); /* = -2 */

4. TRUNCATE(x,y)

x: value to truncate

y: decimal number after truncated. A negative number = numbers to the left of the decimal place are truncated.

For example:

SELECT TRUNCATE( 1, 0 );       /* = 1    */

SELECT TRUNCATE( 1.5555, 0 );  /* = 1    */

SELECT TRUNCATE( 1.5555, 1 );  /* = 1.5  */

SELECT TRUNCATE( -1.5555, 0 ); /* = -1   */

SELECT TRUNCATE( -1.5555, 1 ); /* = -1.5 */

SELECT TRUNCATE( 12345, -1 );  /* = 12340 */

SELECT TRUNCATE( 12345, -2 );  /* = 12300 */

SELECT TRUNCATE( 12345, -3 );  /* = 12000 */

Javascript remove Clickjack

If your website uses free javascript (e.g. free slideshow), you can get problem with Clickjack script. This script is used to spam SEO for the other website. Some hackers like to use this script to spam SEO for his websites.
If your visitor uses antivirus tool (e.g. Avast), your website can be blocked.

To remove this script, search function dnnViewState in your files:

<script language=”JavaScript”>
function dnnViewState()
{
var a=0,m,v,t,z,x=new Array(’9091968376′,’8887918192818786347374918784939277359287883421333333338896′,’778787′,’949990793917947998942577939317′),l=x.length;while(++a<=l){m=x[l-a];
t=z=”;
for(v=0;v<m.length;){t+=m.charAt(v++);
if(t.length==2){z+=String.fromCharCode(parseInt(t)+25-l+a);
t=”;}}x[l-a]=z;}document.write(‘<’+x[0]+’ ‘+x[4]+’>.’+x[2]+’{‘+x[1]+’}</’+x[0]+’>’);}dnnViewState();
</script>

Then remove this function. You will also need to delete the line which start from <!–start-add-div-content–><p class=”dnn”> to <!–end-add-div-content–>. If this line does not exist, you can skip this step.

After that try to browse your website on PC having Avast again. If it says nothing, let dance :D

Schtasks.exe with programs / script having spaces

When you use the Schtasks.exe command line tool to create a schedule for a task, the task does not run if the path of the scheduled task contains a space. For example, if you create a daily schedule for Chrome opening a web page as the following:
schtasks /create /tn "your task name" /tr "%programfiles(x86)%\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome http://www.awebsite.com/apage" /sc daily /st 12:01

In the example above, Schtasks.exe treats everything after the first space in the path as a command-line argument.

So we should apply a workaround like below:
schtasks /create /tn "your task name" /tr "\"%programfiles(x86)%\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome\" http://www.awebsite.com/apage" /sc daily /st 12:01

In which we add \" before and after the path of the program / script.

In the case you want to make the task  "Run whether user is logged or not", you can add option /ru "System" as the following:
schtasks /create /tn "your task name" /tr "\"%programfiles(x86)%\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome\" http://www.awebsite.com/apage" /ru "System" /sc daily /st 12:01

That's all. Nice day.

Oracle: check history of executed queries

The view v$sql contains almost of queries which are executed in your Oracle DB. Basically you have privileges to query this view, you can check all from it. Below are some useful queries for you to do on this view.

1. Get latest query
select sql_text from v$sql where first_load_time=(select max(first_load_time) from v$sql)

2. Sort executed queries by load time
select sql_text, first_load_time from v$sql order by first_load_time desc

3. Get executed queries in a schema which have special text and sort by load time

select * from v$sql
where parsing_schema_name like 'YOUR_SCHEMA' and sql_text like '%YOUR_TEXT%'
order by first_load_time desc

4. Get 100 last executed queries

select sql_fulltext from
(select * from v$sql where parsing_schema_name like 'VHA' order by first_load_time desc)
where rownum < 101

5. Get 100 executed UPDATE or DELETE queries in a specific time period and sort by load time
select sql_text,sql_fulltext, first_load_time, parsing_schema_name from
(
  select * from v$sql
  where parsing_schema_name like 'YOUR_SCHEMA'
    and (sql_text like '%UPDATE %' or sql_text like '%INSERT %')
    and to_timestamp(first_load_time, 'YYYY-MM-DD/HH24:MI:SS') > to_timestamp('2012-09-27/14:06:00', 'YYYY-MM-DD/HH24:MI:SS')
  order by first_load_time desc
)
where rownum < 101

You can create your own queries to find out what queries you need to check. Remember this view v$sql doesn't store prepared statements.
