Welcome to the Web site for USF MBA 683 E-Business Technology .

Classes meet on Thursday evenings at 6:30 in CO 114. Labs in CO 226 on Saturdays 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm from 2/10 to 4/21.

Check this page for notes and information. Thank you.

5/03: The Semantic Web by Berners-Lee, Hendler & Lassila, Scientific American, May 2001. www.sciam.com/2001/0501issue/0501berners-lee.html 

4/26: our last lab will be Saturday 4/28 starting at 1:30 pm

4/19: 

To get the result of a SQL count() or other query that returns a single row, you can use db_1row instead of db_foreach. It looks like this (and does not have a loop body in { } ):

db_1row s_row "select sid, sname from chuck.s where sid=99"

To allow for optional input fields, specify a 0 for the automatic error checking argument to set_the_usual_form_variables like this:

set_the_usual_form_variables 0

PowerPoint from John Vlahos 

Remaining presentations will be on 4/28 (after testing) or 5/03.

3/08: 

We will have lab on 3/10 but not on 3/17 or 4/14. 

Be sure you are looking at you pages using AOLS server: http://usf-acs.rho.net/student/ 

3/03 from lab: 

An 'insufficient privilege' error message means you have not issued a Grant  to AD. The SQLplus command is 'grant all on tablename to ad;' and you have to do a grant for each table.

Be sure to issue a 'commit' command in SQLplus to save your changes and allow access to your revised data.

UltraEdit is available from www.ultraedit.com.

3/01 the Cassandracle monitor is at: http://usf-acs.rho.net/admin/monitoring/cassandracle/users/user-owned-objects 

2/24 Team accounts are set up.

Avoid '&' in your data when using SQLPlus, the ampersand causes SQLplus to prompt for the value. 

2/22 Dave Abercrombie's slides: http://wimpy.arsdigita.com/public/user-top.adp?user_id=10323 

2/16 Want to enter dates and times in your table? The Date format handles both in one column. In your Insert statements write the values like this:
to_date('2001-02-21 13:10','YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI')

2/11: after you load your Web pages, you can view them at http://usf-acs.rho.net/student/account. The configuration problem has been corrected. The URL given in the e-mail was wrong (http:// was repeated).

2/09: Passwords were e-mailed to your USF e-mail today. Passwords should be 9 characters letters and numbers only (let me know if you received any other characters). Please check the student list and give me any corrections.

2/01: Schedule correction: Geoff Peck will be speaking on 2/08, consequently we may discuss project ideas on 2/01 (time permitting).

1/25: The entire text of Philip and Alex's Guide to Web Publishing is available online at http://www.arsdigita.com/books/panda/.
