Best Lecture

I just read George Siemens post Will online lectures destroy universities?  He makes the point that despite articles like Why free online lectures will destroy universities – unless they get their act together fast:

Statements like “universities are obsolete” or “universities are dying” are comical. And untrue. Universities are continuing to grow in enrolment and general influence in society. Calling universities obsolete while we are early on in the so-called knowledge economy is like declaring factories obsolete in the 18th century just as the industrial revolution was taking hold. Utter nonsense.

While George does talk about challenges in education, I think he misses part of the point of the article.  And this is something that I’ve been thinking (and writing – see Physics Lectures) about for a long time.  Here’s the point:

• It’s incredibly easy to capture and distribute lectures.
• Rather than getting a lecture from whoever is teaching your course locally, wouldn’t it be better to get a world-class lecture.

As the article points out:

At the same time, millions of learners around the world are watching world-class lectures online about every subject imaginable, from fractional reserve banking to moral philosophy to pharmacology, supplied by Harvard, MIT, and The Open University.

Have you seen Planet Earth or watched a Professor Lewin physics presentation?  There’s basically no way to compete with those sources.  And wouldn’t it be better to get the best available lecture with local discussion, studying, testing, etc.?

I’m not quite sure that I buy the article’s contention that:

The simple fact is that university lectures never worked that well in the first place – it’s just that for centuries, we didn’t have any better option for transmitting information. In fact, the success of top universities, both now and historically, is in spite of lectures, not because of it.

Maybe that’s because I’ve learned a lot in schools that way.  But even if you keep lectures, but you open up everyone to the Best Lecture available on a given topic … The implications here for education are profound. 

Best Lectures in Corporate Training

I also believe the implications here are profound for corporate training.  We can continue to hide behind the myth that our content is special and different.  Some of the time, that’s quite true.  But there’s a lot of content (leadership, management, safety, etc.) that really should not be replicated by every organization.

Instead, we should be looking for the Best Lecture and work our specifics around that.  Of course, that’s sometimes made harder because despite the Open Content movement in education, there’s less of a movement in corporate learning (and some barriers: Open Content in Workplace Learning?, Creative Commons Use in For-Profit Company eLearning?).

What’s also interesting about this situation is that there are similar barriers from the content creators standpoint.  In the Business of Learning, I talk about the challenges as a content creator and how the business models might work.  And every day, I’m talking with people who have great content and could be creating the Best Lecture on a topic.  And while they can easily capture it, getting it distributed in a way that pays is difficult.  Instead, they need to package it into a unit that is self-contained.  They need something similar to an LMS or a course that runs in a corporate LMS.  But it certainly won’t look like a Best Lecture model with corporate eLearning professionals being able to act like local discussion, studying, testing.

I’m not sure what any of this will look like in education or in corporate training – but I am sure it will be quite different in 20 years from how we do it today.

New and Improved Adobe Acrobat X

Adobe Acrobat remains one of the best kept secrets in the software industry. While many users, use the ubiquitous Adobe Acrobat Reader to open, print and display files on the web- many are unaware of the engine that makes this all happen. I have been fortunate enough to be provided with a Reviewer Copy of Adobe Acrobat X Pro which was recently released into the marketplace. As a long time user of Adobe Acrobat I was looking forward to working with the latest version of Acrobat to see what new and innovative features were build into this version. Adobe Acrobat X is now available for both Windows and Macintosh computers and builds on the long tradition of Acrobat as easy to use tool to create and publish PDF files.

The most significant change that you will see when you start up Adobe Acrobat X is in the interface. If you have used any of Adobe's newer applications you will feel right at home. Adobe has really done their homework and analyzed how users are most likely to use Acrobat and reconfigured the menus. You will notice on the right had side of the screen three different tabs, Tools, Comments, and Share. Clicking on any of these items will reveal a Pane with the associated tools and features. Being a long time user of Acrobat it was always a challenge to find where I might find the tool that I was looking for. Having the new interface now makes it a cinch to know exactly where to find something. The new interface is very intuitive and makes it easy for you to be as efficient as possible when you are looking for the right tool. The simplicity of the interface is going to be a hallmark of this version and one that I know I will enjoy using.

Creating PDF files is a lot easier to create with the new version of Adobe Acrobat X. Simply select the Create button from the menu and you have your choice of how you would like to create your PDF. One of the areas that has been vastly improved is creating a PDF from Scanner. I found that Adobe Acrobat X was much faster at creating the PDF and the finished PDF file size was much smaller than in the past. There were significant improvements in the Optical Character Recognition Engine which would account for better recognition of scanned material. Having a fully search-able PDF document with a small footprint really foots the bill for me.

One of my favorite features which was introduced in version 9 of Acrobat is the concept of a PDF Portfolio. This is an extremely powerful tool  and one that I feel has the potential to take this product far both in business and education sectors. As the term would implies a PDF Portfolio is a way for you to include a range of different types of  files and media formats and wrap it up in a PDF envelope. With a PDF Portfolio one could include a Word, Excel, Audio, Video, PDF documents and convert it into one single PDF file that can be delivered to your client or student. When they receive the PDF Portfolio you can package it and brand it with your company's colors or logo. Your recipient then receive I highly stylized PDF portfolio with easy to use navigation that can be opened with the free Adobe Acrobat Reader (version 9 or X) and presented with the files in the order that you wold like to present them in. Perfect for a business or educational portfolio which displays a range of different content and media. Adding video and Flash content is easier than ever and allows you to bring your documents to life with video playing inside your PDF portfolios.

Sending your PDF documents just got a lot easier with the advent of the new Adobe Service called Adobe SendNow Online. Adobe SendNow Online. is now integrated within Adobe Acrobat X and can be accessed from the Share tab. Adobe SendNow Online, as you can tell from the name, stores your files in the cloud and provides a link to your PDF that you can email to your recipients right within Adobe Acrobat X. If you have ever had the problem of sharing large PDF files via email, then you will really like how Adobe handles this new feature. Simply enter the recipients email address and they will receive a link to download the file. It is really that simple and you can control how much time they have before the link expires and receive delivery receipts when it is downloaded. The integration of Adobe SendNow Online with Adobe Acrobat X is really seamless and you will be asking yourself how did you ever live without it.

Working with Adobe Acrobat as much as I do, I am extremely pleased with this upgrade and the thought that went into making this easier and more intuitive to use. Right out of the box you will find Adobe Acrobat X a pleasure to work with. With a little time you will find that Adobe Acrobat X is one of thiose must have applications that you will turn to for all of your creative needs.

Panther: Extending extents / Estendendo os extents

This article is written in English and Portuguese
Este artigo está escrito em Inglês e Português

English version:

Back to Panther... Although I'm not in the video on the right, I do love Informix. That doesn't mean I ignore some issues it has (or had in this particular case). One thing that always worries an Informix DBA is the number of extents in his tables. Why? Because it used to have a maximum amount, and because that maximum was pretty low (if compared with other databases). But what is an extent? In short an extent is a sequence of contiguous pages (or blocks) that belong to a specific table or table partition. A partition (a table has one or more partitions) has one or more extents.
Before I go on, and to give you some comparison I'd like to tell you about some feedback I had over the years from a DBA (mostly Oracle, but who also managed an Informix instance):

• A few years ago he spent lots of time running processes to reduce the number of extents in a competitor database that had reach an incredible number of extents (around hundreds of thousands). This was caused by real large tables and real badly defined storage allocation
• Recently I informed the same customer that Informix was eliminating the extent limits and the same guy told me that he was afraid that it could lead to situations as above. He added, and I quote, "I've always admired the way Informix deals with extents"

So, if a customer DBA is telling that he admires the way we used to handle extents, and he's afraid of this latest change, why am I complaining about the past? As in many other situations, things aren't exactly black and white... Let's see what Informix have done well since ever:

1. After 16 allocations of new extents Informix automatically doubles the size of the next extent for the table. This decreases the number of times it will try to allocate a new extent. So, using only this rule (which is not correct as we shall see) if you create a table with a next size of 16K, you would reach 4GB with around 225 extents.
2. If Informix can allocate a new extent contiguous to an already existing one (from the same table of course) than it will not create a new one, but instead it will extend the one that already exists (so it does not increase the number of extents). This is one reason why rule number one may not be seen in practice. In other words, it's more than probable that you can reach 4GB with less than 225 extents.
3. In version 11.50 if I'm correct, a fix was implemented to prevent excessive extent doubling (rule 1). If the next extent size is X and the dbspace only has a maximum of Y (Y < X) informix will allocate Y and will not raise any error.
   If this happens many times, we could end up having a number of allocated pages relatively small, but a next extent size too big. There's a real problem in this: If in these circumstances we create another chunk in the same dbspace, and after that our table requires another extent, the engine could reserve a large part of the new (and possibly still empty) chunk to our table. This can be much more than the size already allocated to the table. To avoid this, extent doubling will only happen when there is a reasonable relation between the new calculated next extent size and the space effectively allocated to the table.
4. Extent description in Informix have never been stored in the database catalog. This leads to simpler and efficient space management. Compared to other databases that used to do the management in the catalog, they tend to hit issues in the SQL layer and at the same time these were slower. One of our competitors changed that in their later versions, and DBAs have seen improvement with that (but they had to convert). Informix always worked the better way...

So, these are the good points. Again, why was I complaining? Simply because although Informix has done a pretty good job in preventing the number of extents to grow too much, we had a very low limit for the number of extents. In platforms with a system page size of 2K this was around 220-240 extents (max), and for 4K platforms is was around the double of that (440-480). With version 10 we started to be able to have greater page sizes, and that increases the maximum number of extents per partition.
Why didn't we have a fix limit and why was it different in several platforms? In order to explain that we must dive a bit deeper in the structure of a dbspace and tables. Each partition in Informix has a partition header. Each partition header is stored in exactly one Informix page. There is a special partition in every dbspace (tablespace tablespace) that holds every partition headers from that dbspace. This special partition starts in a specific page but then, it can contain more than one extent.
Also important to understand this is the notion of slot. Most Informix pages contain several slots. For a data page, a slot contains a row (in the simplest cases). A partition header is a page that contains 5 slots:

1. Slot 1
   This contains the partition structure (things like creation date, partition flags, maximum row size, number of special columns - VARCHAR and BLOB -, number of keys - if it's an index or has index pages -, number of extents and a lot of other stuff. If you want to see all the details check the sysptnhdr table in $INFORMIXDIR/etc/sysmaster.sql. It's basically an SQL interface for the partition headers in the instance.
   In version 11.50 this slot should occupy 100 bytes. Previous versions can have less (no serial 8, and bigserial)
   
2. Slot 2
   Contains the database name, the partition owner, the table name and the NLS collation sequence
3. Slot 3
   Contains details about the special columns. If there are no special columns this slot will be empty
4. Slot 4
   Contains the description for each key (if it's an index or a mix). Starting with version 9.40, by default the indexes are stored in their own partitions. This was not the case in previous versions. A single partition could contain index pages interleaved with data pages.
   Currently, by default, a partition used for data should not have any key, so this slot will be empty
5. Slot 5
   Finally, this is the slot that contains the list of extents.

Now we know the list of extents must be stored in the partition header. And the partition header has 5 slots, and the size of first four may vary. This means that the free space for slot 5 (extent list) is variable. These are the reasons why we had a limit and why that limit was not fixed. It would vary with the table structure for example. And naturally it would vary with the page size.
A table that reached it's maximum number of extents was a very real and serious problem in Informix. If you reach the table limit for number of extents and all your table's data pages are full, the engine would need to allocate one more extent in order to complete new INSERTs. But for that it would require some free space in the partition header. If there was no space left, any INSERT would fail with error -136:

-136 ISAM error: no more extents.

After hitting this nasty situation there were several ways to solve it, but all of them would need temporary table unavailability, which in our days is rare... We tend to use 24x7 systems. Even systems that have a maintenance window would suffer with this, because most of the time the problem was noticed during "regular" hours...

So, I've been talking in the past... This used to be a problem. Why isn't it a problem anymore? Because Panther (v11.7) introduced two great features:

1. The first one is that it is able to automatically extend the partition header when slot 5 (the extent list) becomes full. When this happens it will allocate a new page for the partition header that will be used for the extent list. So you should not see error -136 caused by reaching the extent limit. At first you may think like my customer DBA: "wow! Isn't that dangerous? Will I get tables/partitions with tens of thousands of extents?". The answer is simple. You won't get that high number of extents because all the nice features that were always there (automatic extent concatenation, extent doubling...) are still there. This will just avoid the critical situation where the use of the table would become impossible (new INSERTs). And naturally it doesn't mean that you should not care about the number of extents. For performance reasons it's better to keep them low
2. The second great feature is an online table defragmenter. They can grow forever, but that's not good. Once you notice you have a table with too many extents you can ask the engine to defragment it. I will not dig into this simply because someone else already did it. I recommend you check the recent DeveloperWorks article entitled "Understand the Informix Server V11.7 defragmenter"
   

Versão Portuguesa:

De volta à Panther... Apesar de não estar no vídeo à direita, eu adoro o Informix. Isso não significa que ignore alguns problemas que ele tem (ou tinha neste caso particular). Uma coisa que preocupa qualquer DBA Informix é o número de extents das suas tabelas. Porquê? Porque esse número tinha um máximo, e porque esse máximo era bastante baixo (se comparado com outras bases de dados). Mas o que é um extent? De forma simples, um extent é uma sequência contígua de páginas (ou blocos) que pertencem a uma tabela ou partição de tabela. Uma partição (uma tabela tem uma ou mais partições) tem um ou mais extents.
Antes de continuar, e para estabelecer uma comparação, gostaria de transmitir algum feedback que ao longo de anos tive de um DBA (essencialmente Oracle, mas também geria uma instância Informix):

• Há alguns anos atrás passou bastante tempo a executar processos para reduzir o número de extents de uma base de dados concorrente do Informix. Essa base de dados tinha tabelas que atingiram um número incrível de extents (na casa das centenas de milhar). Isto foi causado por tabelas verdadeiramente grandes e cláusulas de alocação de espaço realmente mal definidas
• Recentemente informei esse mesmo cliente que o Informix ia eliminar o limite de extents, e a mesma pessoa disse-me que tinha receio que isso pudesse levar a situações como a de cima. Ele acrescentou, e cito: "Se há coisa que sempre admirei foi a maneira como o Informix gere os extents".

Assim sendo, se um DBA de um cliente diz que admira a maneira como geríamos os extents e ele próprio receia a eliminação de limites, porque é que eu me queixo do passado? Como em muitas outras situações, as coisas não são bem a preto e branco... Vejamos o que o Informix sempre fez bem:

1. Após cada 16 novos extents adicionados, o Informix automaticamente duplica o tamanho do próximo extent da tabela. Isto diminui o número de vezes que tenta reservar um novo extent. Usando apenas esta regra (o que não é correcto como veremos a seguir), se criar uma tabela com o extent mínimo (16KB), a tabela pode crescer até aos 4GB com cerca de 225 extents.
2. Se o Informix conseguir reservar um novo extent que seja contíguo a um que já esteja alocado à mesma tabela, então em vez de criar um novo, vai alargar o já existente (portanto não aumenta o número de extents). Esta é a razão porque a regra anterior pode não ser verificada na práctica. Por outras palavaras é mais que provável que consiga atingir os 4GB com menos de 225 extents.
3. Salvo algum erro, na versão 11.50 foi introduzida uma melhoria para prevenir a duplicação excessiva do tamanho do próximo extent (regra 1). Se o tamanho do próximo extent for X, mas o dbspace só tiver um máximo de Y espaço livre contíguo (Y < X) o Informix vai criá-lo com o tamanho Y e nem se queixará de nada. Se isto acontecer muitas vezes, podemos acabar por ter um número de páginas efectivas de uma tabela ou partição relativamente pequeno e um tamanho para o próximo extent muito grande. Existe um problema real nisto: Se nessas cirunstâncias for criado um novo chunk nesse dbspace, e a tabela precisar de novo extent, pode acontecer que o motor reserve grande parte, ou mesmo a totalidade do novo chunk para a tabela (possivelmente muito mais que o tamanho já reservado até então). Para evitar isto, a duplicação do tamanho do próximo extent só acontece quando o novo tamanho tem uma relação razoável com o espaço reservado até então. Caso contrário o tamanho do próximo extent a alocar não é duplicado.
4. A informação dos extents em Informix nunca foi guardada nas tabelas de catálogo. Isto faz com que a sua gestão seja mais simples e eficiente. Comparada com outras bases de dados que faziam a gestão no catálogo, estas tendiam a encontrar problemas e constrangimentos próprios da camada de SQL, e ao mesmo tempo eram mais lentas. Um dos concorrentes mudou isto há umas versões atrás e os seus utilizadores viram benefícios bem notórios (mas tiveram de converter). O Informix sempre trabalhou da melhor forma...
   

Estes são os pontos positivos. Mais uma vez, porque é que me estava a queixar? Simplesmente porque apesar de o Informix sempre ter feito um trabalho extraordinário na prevenção contra um elevado número de extents, nós tinhamos um limite, e era muito baixo. Em plataformas com um tamanho de página de sistema de 2KB este limite rondava os 220-240 extents, e em plataformas de 4KB o limite era cerca do dobro (440-480). Com a versão 10 pudemos passar a ter páginas maiores, e isso aumenta o limite.
Porque é que o limite não é fixo, e porque é diferente consoante a plataforma? Para explicar isto temos de nos debruçar de forma mais detalhada na estrutura física de um dbspace e tabela. Cada partição em Informix tem um cabeçalho. Cada cabeçalho de partição é guardado numa página Informix. Existe uma partição especial em cada dbspace (designada habitualmente por tablespace tablespace) que guarda todos os cabeçalhos das partições criadas nesse dbspace. Esta partição especial começa numa página específica do primeiro chunk do dbspace, mas pode ter mais que um extent.
Igualmente importante para compreender isto é a noção de slot. A maioria das páginas Informix estão divididas em slots. Para uma página de dados um slot contém uma linha de dados da tabela (caso mais simples). Um cabeçalho de partição é uma página que contém cinco slots:

1. Slot 1
   Este contém a estrutura da partição (coisas como a data de criação, flags, tamanho máximo de uma linha, numéro de colunas ditas especiais - VARCHAR e BLOBs -, número de chaves - se for um indíce ou tiver páginas de indíce -, número de extents e uma série de outros detalhes. Se tiver curiosidade em saber o que lá está guardado consulte a tabela sysptnhdr na base de dados sysmaster (ou o ficheiro $INFORMIXDIR/etc/sysmaster.sql). Basicamente esta tabela é um interface SQL sobre todos os cabeçalhos de partição da instância Informix.
   Na versão 11.50 este slot ocupa 100 bytes. Versões anteriores podem ocupar menos (ausência do serial8 e bigserial)
2. Slot 2
   Contém o nome da base de dados, dono da partição, nome da tabela e a NLS collation sequence
3. Slot 3
   Contém detalhes sobre todas as colunas especiais. Se não existirem colunas especiais (VARCHAR e BLOB) este slot estará vazio. Se existirem, o tamanho ocupado dependerá da estrutura da tabela.
4. Slot 4
   Contém a descrição de cada chave (se for um índice ou um mix). Desde a versão 9.40, por omissão os indíces são guardados em partição à parte. Isto não era assim em versões anteriores. Uma partição podia conter páginas de indíces e de dados.
   Actualmente, por omissão, uma partição usada para dados não deve ter nenhuma chave, e assim este slot deve estar vazio
5. Slot 5
   Finalmente, este é o slot que contém a lista dos extents.
   
   

Agora sabemos que a lista de estents tem de ser guardada no cabeçalho da partição. E este contém cinco slots sendo que o tamanho dos primeiros quatro varia. Isto implica que o espaço livre para o slot cinco (a lista de extents) é variável. Estas são as razões porque tinhamos um limite e porque esse limite era variável. Variava por exemplo com a estrutura da tabela. E naturalmente variava com o tamanho da página.
Uma tabela que atingisse o número máximo de extents tornava-se num problema sério em Informix. Quando tal acontece, se todas as páginas de dados estiverem cheias, o motor terá de reservar um novo extent para completar novos INSERTs. Mas para isso necessitaria de espaço livre no cabeçalho da partição. Portanto, não havendo aí espaço livre todos os INSERTs falhariam com o erro -136:

-136 ISAM error: no more extents.

Depois de batermos nesta situação havia várias formas de a resolver, mas todas elas necessitavam de indisponibilidade temporária da tabela, o que nos dias que correm é um bem raro... A tendência é usarmos sistemas 24x7. Mesmo sistemas que tenham janela de manutenção sofreriam com isto, porque na maioria das vezes o problema manifestava-se durante o horário normal ou produtivo...

Bom, mas tenho estado a falar no passado.... Isto costumava ser um problema. Porque é que já não o é? Porque a versão 11.7 (Panther) introduziu duas excelentes funcionalidades:

1. A primeira é que a partir de agora é possível estender automaticamente o cabeçalho da partição quando o slot cinco enche. Nesta situação, uma nova página é reservada para o cabeçalho da partição e a lista de extents pode crescer. Portanto não deverá voltar a ver o erro -136 causado por atingir o limite de extents. À primeira vista pode ter a mesma reacção que o DBA do meu cliente. "Epa! Mas isso não é perigoso? Vou passar a ter tabelas/partições com dezenas de milhares de extents?". A resposta é simples. Não vai atingir esses números de extents porque todas as boas características que sempre existiram (junção automática de extents, duplicação de tamanho do próximo extent...) ainda estão presentes e funcionais. Isto apenas evitará a situação crítica em que o uso da tabela se tornava impossível (para novos INSERTs). E naturalmente isto não significa que passemos a ignorar o número de extents das nossas tabelas. Por questões de desempenho é melhor mantê-los baixos.
   
2. A segunda grande funcionalidade é um desfragmentador online de tabelas ou partições. O número de extents pode crescer indefinidamente, mas isso não é bom. Assim que notar que tem uma partição com um número elevado de extents pode pedir ao motor que a desfragmente. Não vou aprofundar este tema, simplemente porque já foi feito. Recomendo que consulte um artigo recente do DeveloperWorks intitulado "Understand the Informix Server V11.7 defragmenter". Infelizmente o artigo só tem versão em Inglês

Introduction

I just checked... This will be post 100!!!... I've never been so active in the blog... We have Panther (full of features that I still haven't covered), I did some work with OAT and tasks that I want to share, and besides that I've been trying some new things... Yes... Although I've been working with Informix for nearly 20 years (it's scaring to say this but it's true...) there are aspects that I usually don't work with. I'd say the one I'm going to look into today is not used by the vast majority of the users. And that's a shame because:

1. It can solve problems that we aren't able to solve in any other way
2. If it was more used, it would be improved faster

Also, many people think that this is what marked the decline of the Informix company. You probably already figured out that I'm talking about extensibility. To recall a little bit of history, in 1995, Informix had the DSA architecture in version 7. And it acquired the Illustra company, founded by Michael Stonebraker and others. Mr. Stonebraker already had a long history of innovation (which he kept improving up to today) and he stayed with Informix for some years. All the technology around Datablades and extensibility in Informix comes from there... Informix critics say that the company got so absorbed in the extensibility features (that it believed would be the "next wave") that it loosed the market focus. Truth is that the extensibility never became a mainstream feature neither in Informix or in other databases, and all of them followed Informix launch of Universal Server (1996): Oracle, IBM DB2 etc.

But, this article will not focus on the whole extensibility concept. It would be impossible and tedious to try to cover it in one blog article. Instead I'll introduce one of it's aspects: User Defined Routines (UDRs), and in particular routines written using the C language.

There is a manual about UDRs, and I truly recommend that you read it. But here I'll follow another approach: We'll start with a very simple problem that without C UDRs would be impossible to solve, define a solution for it, and go all the way to implement it and use it with an example.

The problem

Have you ever faced a situation where you're writing a stored procedure in SPL, and you want to put some part of it inside a transaction, but you're afraid that the calling code is already in a transaction?
You could workaround this by initiating the transaction and catching the error (already in transaction) with an ON EXCEPTION block.
But this may have other implications (ON EXCEPTION blocks are tricky when the procedure is called from a trigger). So it would be nice to check if the session is already in a transaction. A natural way to do that would be a call to DBINFO(...), but unfortunately current versions (up to 11.7.xC1) don't allow that. Meaning there is no DBINFO() parameter that makes it return that information.

Solution search

One important part of Informix extensibility is the so called Datablade API. It's a set of programmable interfaces that we can use inside Datablades code and also inside C UDRs. The fine infocenter has a reference manual for the Datablade API functions. A quick search there for "transaction" makes a specific function come up: mi_transaction_state()
The documentation states that when calling it (no parameters needed) it will return an mi_integer (let's assume integer for now) type with one of these values:

• MI_NO_XACT
  meaning we don't have a transaction open
  
• MI_IMPLICIT_XACT
  meaning we have an implicit transaction open (for example if we're connected to an ANSI mode database)
  
• MI_EXPLICIT_XACT
  meaning we have an explicit transaction open

This is all we need conceptually.... Now we need to transform ideas into runnable code!

Starting the code

In order to implement a C UDR function we should proceed through several steps:

1. Create the C code skeleton
2. Create the C code function using the Datablade API
3. Create a makefile that has all the needed instructions to generate the executable code in a format the engine can use
4. Compile the code
5. Use SQL to define the new function, telling the engine where it can find the function and the interface to call it, as well as the language and other function attributes
6. Test it!

Create the C code skeleton

Informix provides a tool called DataBlade Developers Kit (DBDK) which includes several components: Blade Manager, Blade Pack and Bladesmith. Blade Manager allows us to register the datablades against the databases, the Blade Pack does the "packaging" of all the Datablades files (executable libraries, documentation files, SQL files etc.) that make up a datablade. Finally Bladesmith helps us to create the various components and source code files. It's a development tool that only runs on Windows but can also be used to prepare files for Unix/Linux. For complex projects it may be a good idea to use Bladesmith, but for this very simple example I'll do it by hand. Also note I'm just creating a C UDR. These tools are intended to deal with much more complex projects. A Datablade can include new datatypes, several functions etc.
So, for our example I took a peek at the recent Informix Developer's Handbook to copy the examples.

Having looked at the examples above, it was easy to create the C code:

/*
This simple function returns an integer to the calling SQL code with the following meaning:
0 - We're not within a transaction
1 - We're inside an implicit transaction
2 - We're inside an explicit (BEGIN WORK...) transaction
-1 - Something unexpected happened!
*/

#include <milib.h>

mi_integer get_transaction_state_c( MI_FPARAM *fp)
{
mi_integer i,ret;
i=mi_transaction_state();
switch(i)
{
  case MI_NO_XACT:
          ret=0;
          break;
  case MI_IMPLICIT_XACT:
          ret=1;
          break;
  case MI_EXPLICIT_XACT:
          ret=2;
          break;
  default:
          ret=-1;
}
return (ret);
}

I've put the above code in a C source file called get_transaction_state_c.c

Create the makefile

Again, for the makefile I copied some examples and came up with the following. Please consider this as an example only. I'm not an expert on makefile building and this is just a small project.

include $(INFORMIXDIR)/incl/dbdk/makeinc.linux

MI_INCL = $(INFORMIXDIR)/incl
CFLAGS = -DMI_SERVBUILD $(CC_PIC) -I$(MI_INCL)/public $(COPTS)
LINKFLAGS = $(SHLIBLFLAG) $(SYMFLAG)


all: get_transaction_state.so

clean:
 rm -f get_transaction_state.so get_transaction_state_c.o


get_transaction_state_c.o: get_transaction_state_c.c
 $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -o $@ -c $?

get_transaction_state.so: get_transaction_state_c.o
 $(SHLIBLOD) $(LINKFLAGS) -o $@ $?

Note that this is a GNU Make makefile. The first line includes a makefile that IBM supplies with Informix. It basically contains variables or macro definitions. You should adapt the include directive to your system (the name of the makefile can vary with the platform) and make sure that the variables I use are also defined in your system base makefile.
After that I define some more variables and I create the makefile targets. I just want it to build the get_transaction_state.so dynamically loadable library and for that I'm including the object (get_transaction_state_c.o) generated from my source code (get_transaction_state_c.c). Pretty simple if you have basic knowledge about makefiles

Compile the code

Once we have the makefile we just need to run a simple command to make it compile:

cheetah@pacman.onlinedomus.net:informix-> make
cc -DMI_SERVBUILD -fpic -I/usr/informix/srvr1150uc7/incl/public -g -o get_transaction_state_c.o -c get_transaction_state_c.c
gcc -shared -Bsymbolic -o get_transaction_state.so get_transaction_state_c.o
cheetah@pacman.onlinedomus.net:informix->

The two commands run are the translation of the macros/variables defined in the makefile(s) and they simply compile the source code (1st command) and then generate the dynamic loadable library. If all goes well (as it naturally happened in the output above), we'll have a library on this location, ready for usage by Informix:

cheetah@pacman.onlinedomus.net:informix-> ls -lia *.so
267913 -rwxrwxr-x 1 informix informix 5639 Nov 23 22:06 get_transaction_state.so
cheetah@pacman.onlinedomus.net:informix-> file *.so
get_transaction_state.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (GNU/Linux), dynamically linked, not stripped
cheetah@pacman.onlinedomus.net:informix->

Use SQL to define the function

Now that we have executable code, in the form of a dynamic loadable library, we need to instruct Informix to use it. For that we will create a new function, telling the engine that it's implemented in C language and the location where it's stored. For that I created a simple SQL file:

cheetah@pacman.onlinedomus.net:informix-> ls *.sql
get_transaction_state_c.sql
cheetah@pacman.onlinedomus.net:informix-> cat get_transaction_state_c.sql
DROP FUNCTION get_transaction_state_c;

CREATE FUNCTION get_transaction_state_c () RETURNING INTEGER
EXTERNAL NAME '/home/informix/udr_tests/get_transaction_state/get_transaction_state.so'
LANGUAGE C;
cheetah@pacman.onlinedomus.net:informix->

So, let's run it...:

cheetah@pacman.onlinedomus.net:informix-> dbaccess stores get_transaction_state_c.sql

Database selected.


674: Routine (get_transaction_state_c) can not be resolved.

111: ISAM error:  no record found.
Error in line 1
Near character position 36

Routine created.


Database closed.

cheetah@pacman.onlinedomus.net:informix->

Note that the -674 error is expected, since my SQL includes a DROP FUNCTION. If I were using 11.7 (due to several tests I don't have it ready at this moment) I could have used the new syntax "DROP IF EXISTS...".

So, after this step I should have a function callable from the SQL interface with the name get_transaction_state_c(). It takes no arguments and returns an integer value.

Test it!

Now it's time to see it working. I've opened a session in stores database and did the following:

1. Run the function. It returned "0", meaning no transaction was opened.
2. Than I opened a transaction and run it again. It returned "2", meaning an explicit transaction was opened
3. I closed the transaction and run the function by the third time. As expected it returned "0"

Here is the output:

cheetah@pacman.onlinedomus.net:informix-> dbaccess stores -

Database selected.

> EXECUTE FUNCTION get_transaction_state_c();


(expression)

     0

1 row(s) retrieved.

> BEGIN WORK;

Started transaction.

> EXECUTE FUNCTION get_transaction_state_c();


(expression)

     2

1 row(s) retrieved.

> ROLLBACK WORK;

Transaction rolled back.

> EXECUTE FUNCTION get_transaction_state_c();


(expression)

     0

1 row(s) retrieved.

>

We haven't seen it returning "1". That happens when we're inside an implicit transaction. This situation can be seen if we use the function in an ANSI mode database. For that I'm going to use another database (stores_ansi), and naturally I need to create the function there (using the previous SQL statements). Then I repeat more or less the same steps and the result is interesting:

cheetah@pacman.onlinedomus.net:informix-> dbaccess stores_ansi -

Database selected.

> EXECUTE FUNCTION get_transaction_state_c();


(expression)

      0

1 row(s) retrieved.

> SELECT COUNT(*) FROM systables;


 (count(*))

         83

1 row(s) retrieved.

> EXECUTE FUNCTION get_transaction_state_c();


(expression)

      1

1 row(s) retrieved.

>

If you notice it, the first execution returns "0". Since I have not done any operations there is no transaction opened. But just after a simple SELECT, the return is "1", meaning an implicit transaction is opened. This has to do with the nature and behavior of ANSI mode databases.
If you use them and you intend to use this function you must take that into consideration. Or you could simply map the "1" and "2" output of the mi_transaction_state() function return into simply a "1". This would signal that a transaction is opened (omitting the distinction between implicit and explicit transactions).

Final considerations

Please keep in mind that this article serves more as a light introduction to the C language UDRs than to solve a real problem. If you need to know if you're already in transaction (inside a stored procedure for example) you can use this solution, but you could as well try to open a transaction and capture and deal with the error inside an ON EXCEPTION block.

Also note that if this is a real problem for your applications, even if you're inside an already opened transaction, you can make your procedure code work as a unit, by using the SAVEPOINT functionality introduced in 11.50. So, in simple pseudo-code it would be done like this:

1. Call get_transaction_state_c()
2. If we're inside a transaction then set TX="SVPOINT" and create a savepoint called "MYSVPOINT" and goto 4)
3. If we're not inside a transaction than set TX="TX" and create one. Goto 4
4. Run our procedure code
5. If any error happens test TX variable. Else goto 8
   
6. If TX=="TX" then ROLLBACK WORK. Return error
7. Else, if TX=="SVPOINT" then ROLLBACK WORK TO SAVEPOINT 'MYSVPOINT'. Return error
8. Return success

After this introduction, I hope to be able to write a few more articles related to this topic. The basic idea is that sometimes it's very easy to extend the functionality of Informix. And I feel that many customers don't take advantage of this.
Naturally, there are implications on writing C UDRs. The example above is terribly simple, and it will not harm the engine. But when you're writing code that will be run by the engine a lot of questions pop up.... Memory usage, memory leaks, security stability... But there are answers to this concerns. Hopefully some of them (problems and solutions) will be covered in future articles.


Versão Portuguesa:

Introdução

Acabei de verificar.... Este será o centésimo artigo!!! Nunca estive tão activo no blog... Temos a versão Panther (11.7) (cheia de funcionalidades sobre as quais ainda não escrevi), fiz algum trabalho com tarefas do OAT que quero partilhar, e para além disso tenho andado a testar coisas novas... Sim... Apesar de já trabalhar com Informix há perto de 20 anos (é assustador dizer isto, mas é verdade...) há áreas de funcionalidade com as quais não lido habitualmente. Diria que aquela sobre a qual vou debruçar-me hoje não é usada pela maioria dos utilizadores. E isso é uma pena porque:

1. Permite resolver problemas que não têm outra solução
2. Se fosse mais usada seria melhorada mais rapidamente

Adicionalmente, existe muita gente que pensa que isto foi o que marcou o declínio da empresa Informix. Possivelmente já percebeu que estou a falar da extensibilidade. Para relembrar um pouco de história, em 1995, a Informix tinha a arquitectura DSA (Dynamic Scalable Architecture) na versão 7. E adquiriu a empresa Illustra, fundada por Michael Stonebraker e outros. O senhor Stonebraker já tinha um longo passado de inovação (que prossegue ainda actualmente) e permaneceu na Informix durante alguns anos. Toda a tecnologia à volta dos datablades e extensibilidade teve aí a sua origem.... Os críticos da Informix dizem que a companhia ficou tão absorvida pelas funcionalidades de extensibilidade (que acreditava serem a próxima "vaga") que perdeu o foco do mercado. A verdade é que a extensibilidade nunca se tornou em algo generalizado nem no Informix nem em outras bases de dados, e todas elas seguiram o lançamento do Informix Universal Server (1996): Oracle, IBM DB2 etc.

Mas este artigo não irá focar todo o conceito de extensibilidade. Seria impossível e entediante tentar cobrir tudo isso num artigo de blog. Em vez disso vou apenas introduzir um dos seus aspectos: User Defined Routines (UDRs), e em particular rotinas escritas usando linguagem C.

Existe um manual que cobre os UDRs, e eu recomendo vivamente a sua leitura. Mas aqui seguirei outra abordagem: Começarei com um problema muito simples, que sem um UDR em C seria impossível de resolver, definirei uma solução para o mesmo, e prosseguirei até à implementação e utilização da solução com um exemplo.

O problema

Alguma vez esteve numa situação em que estivesse a escrever um procedimento em SPL, e quisesse colocar parte dele dentro de uma transacção, mas tivesse receio que o código que chama o procedimento já estivesse com uma transacção aberta?

Poderia contornar o problema iniciando uma transacção e apanhando o erro (already in transaction) com um bloco de ON EXCEPTION

Mas isto teria outras implicações (os blocos de ON EXCEPTION podem criar problemas se o procedimento for chamado de um trigger). Portanto seria bom poder verificar se a sessão já está no meio de uma transacção. Uma forma natural de o fazer seria recorrer à função DBINFO(...), mas infelizmente as versões actuais (até à 11.7.xC1) não permitem isso. Ou seja, não há nenhum parâmetro desta função que permita obter a informação que necessitamos.

Pesquisa da solução

Uma parte importante da extensibilidade no Informix é a chamada Datable API. É um conjunto de interfaces programáveis que podemos usar dentro de datablades e também dentro de UDRs em C. O infocenter tem um manual de referência das funções do Datablade API. Uma pesquisa rápida por "transaction" faz aparecer uma função: mi_transaction_state()

A documentação indica que quando a chamamos (não requer parâmetros) irá retornar um valor do tipo mi_integer (equivale a um inteiro) com um destes valores:

• MI_NO_XACT
  significa que não temos uma transacção aberta
  
• MI_IMPLICIT_XACT
  significa que temos uma transacção implícita aberta (por exemplo se estivermos conectados a uma base de dados em modo ANSI)
  
• MI_EXPLICIT_XACT
  significa que temos uma transacção explícita aberta

Isto é tudo o que necessitamos conceptualmente.... Agora precisamos de transformar uma ideia em código executável!

Começando o código

Para implementarmos um UDR em C necessitamos de efectuar vários passos:

1. Criar o esqueleto do código C
2. Criar a função com código C usando o datablade API
3. Criar um makefile que tenha todas as instruções necessárias para gerar o código executável num formato que possa ser usado pelo motor
4. Compilar o código
   
5. Usar SQL para definir uma nova função, indicando ao motor onde pode encontrar a função, o interface para a chamar bem como a linguagem usada e outros atributos da função
6. Testar!

Criar o código em C

O Informix fornece uma ferramenta chamada DataBlade Developers Kit (DBDK) que incluí vários componentes: Blade Manager, Blade Pack e Bladesmith. O Blade Manager permite-nos registar datablades em bases de dados, o Blade Pack faz o "empacotamento" de todos os ficheiros de um datablade (bibliotecas executáveis, ficheiros de documentação, ficheiros SQL, etc.). Finalmente o Bladesmith ajuda-nos a criar vários componentes e código fonte. É uma ferramenta de desenvolvimento que apenas corre em Windows mas que pode ser usado para preparar ficheiros para Unix/Linux. Para projectos complexos será boa ideia usar o Bladesmith mas para este exemplo simples farei tudo à mão. Apenas estou a criar um UDR em C. Estas ferramentas destinam-se a lidar com projectos muito mais complexos. Um Datablade pode incluir novos tipos de dados, várias funções etc.
Assim, para o nosso exemplo dei uma espreitadela ao recente Informix Developer's Handbook para copiar alguns exemplos.

Depois de ver os exemplos referidos, foi fácil criar o código em C:

/*
This simple function returns an integer to the calling SQL code with the following meaning:
0 - We're not within a transaction
1 - We're inside an implicit transaction
2 - We're inside an explicit (BEGIN WORK...) transaction
-1 - Something unexpected happened!
*/

#include <milib.h>

mi_integer get_transaction_state_c( MI_FPARAM *fp)
{
mi_integer i,ret;
i=mi_transaction_state();
switch(i)
{
  case MI_NO_XACT:
          ret=0;
          break;
  case MI_IMPLICIT_XACT:
          ret=1;
          break;
  case MI_EXPLICIT_XACT:
          ret=2;
          break;
  default:
          ret=-1;
}
return (ret);
}

Coloquei o código acima num ficheiro chamado get_transaction_state_c.c


Criar o makefile

Também para o makefile, limitei-me a copiar alguns exemplos e gerei o seguinte. Por favor considere isto apenas como um exemplo. Não sou especialista em construção de makefiles e isto é apenas um pequeno projecto.

include $(INFORMIXDIR)/incl/dbdk/makeinc.linux

MI_INCL = $(INFORMIXDIR)/incl
CFLAGS = -DMI_SERVBUILD $(CC_PIC) -I$(MI_INCL)/public $(COPTS)
LINKFLAGS = $(SHLIBLFLAG) $(SYMFLAG)


all: get_transaction_state.so

clean:
 rm -f get_transaction_state.so get_transaction_state_c.o


get_transaction_state_c.o: get_transaction_state_c.c
 $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -o $@ -c $?

get_transaction_state.so: get_transaction_state_c.o
 $(SHLIBLOD) $(LINKFLAGS) -o $@ $?

Este makefile destina-se ao GNU Make. A primeira linha incluí um makefile fornecido pela IBM com o Informix. Este, basicamente, contém definições de variáveis e macros. Deve adaptar a directiva include ao seu sistema (o nome do makefile pode variar com a plataforma) e garanta que as variáveis que usei estão definidas no makefile base do seu sistema.
Depois disso defini mais algumas variáveis e criei os targets. Apenas quero que gere a biblioteca dinâmica get_transaction_state.so e para isso estou a incluir o objecto (get_transaction_state_c.o) gerado a partir do meu código fonte (get_transaction_state_c.c). Bastante simples se tiver conhecimentos básicos de makefiles.

Compilar o código

Depois de termos o makefile apenas necessitamos de um comando simples para executar a compilação:

cheetah@pacman.onlinedomus.net:informix-> make
cc -DMI_SERVBUILD -fpic -I/usr/informix/srvr1150uc7/incl/public -g -o get_transaction_state_c.o -c get_transaction_state_c.c
gcc -shared -Bsymbolic -o get_transaction_state.so get_transaction_state_c.o
cheetah@pacman.onlinedomus.net:informix->

Os dois comandos executados são a tradução dos macros/variáveis definidos no(s) makefiles(s), e apenas compilam o código fonte (primeiro comando) e depois geram a biblioteca dinâmica. Se tudo correr bem (como naturalmente aconteceu no output acima), teremos a biblioteca nesta localização, pronta a ser usada pelo Informix:

cheetah@pacman.onlinedomus.net:informix-> ls -lia *.so
267913 -rwxrwxr-x 1 informix informix 5639 Nov 23 22:06 get_transaction_state.so
cheetah@pacman.onlinedomus.net:informix-> file *.so
get_transaction_state.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (GNU/Linux), dynamically linked, not stripped
cheetah@pacman.onlinedomus.net:informix->

Usar SQL para definir a função

Agora que temos o código executável, na forma de uma biblioteca dinâmica, precisamos de instruir o Informix para usá-la. Para isso vamos criar uma nova função, dizendo ao motor que está implementada em linguagem C e qual a localização onde está guardada. Faremos isso com um script SQL simples:

cheetah@pacman.onlinedomus.net:informix-> ls *.sql
get_transaction_state_c.sql
cheetah@pacman.onlinedomus.net:informix-> cat get_transaction_state_c.sql
DROP FUNCTION get_transaction_state_c;

CREATE FUNCTION get_transaction_state_c () RETURNING INTEGER
EXTERNAL NAME '/home/informix/udr_tests/get_transaction_state/get_transaction_state.so'
LANGUAGE C;
cheetah@pacman.onlinedomus.net:informix->

Vamos executá-lo...:

cheetah@pacman.onlinedomus.net:informix-> dbaccess stores get_transaction_state_c.sql

Database selected.


674: Routine (get_transaction_state_c) can not be resolved.

111: ISAM error:  no record found.
Error in line 1
Near character position 36

Routine created.


Database closed.

cheetah@pacman.onlinedomus.net:informix->

Repare que o erro -674 é expectável, dado que o meu SQL incluí a instrução DROP FUNCTION (e ela ainda não existe). Se estivesse a usar a versão 11.7 (devido a vários testes não a tenho operacional agora) podia ter usado a nova sintaxe "DROP IF EXISTS".

Portanto depois deste passo, devo ter uma função que pode ser chamada pela interface SQL com o nome get_transaction_state_c(). Não recebe argumentos e retorna um valor inteiro.


Testar!

Agora é tempo de a ver a trabalhar. Abri uma sessão na base de dados stores e fiz o seguinte:

1. Corri a função. Retornou "0", o que significa que não havia transacção aberta
2. Depois abri uma transacção e executei a função novamente. Retornou "2", o que significa que uma transacção explícita estava aberta
3. Fechei a transacção e corri a função pela terceira vez. Como esperado retornou "0"

Aqui está o output:

cheetah@pacman.onlinedomus.net:informix-> dbaccess stores -

Database selected.

> EXECUTE FUNCTION get_transaction_state_c();


(expression)

     0

1 row(s) retrieved.

> BEGIN WORK;

Started transaction.

> EXECUTE FUNCTION get_transaction_state_c();


(expression)

     2

1 row(s) retrieved.

> ROLLBACK WORK;

Transaction rolled back.

> EXECUTE FUNCTION get_transaction_state_c();


(expression)

     0

1 row(s) retrieved.

>

Não vimos o retorno "1". Isso acontece quando estamos dentro de uma transacção implícita. Esta situação pode ser vista se a função estiver a ser executada numa base de dados em modo ANSI. Para isso vou usar uma outra base de dados (stores_ansi), e naturalmente necessito de criar a função aqui (usando as instruções SQL anteriores). Depois repito mais ou menos os mesmos passos e o resultado é interessante:

cheetah@pacman.onlinedomus.net:informix-> dbaccess stores_ansi -

Database selected.

> EXECUTE FUNCTION get_transaction_state_c();


(expression)

      0

1 row(s) retrieved.

> SELECT COUNT(*) FROM systables;


 (count(*))

         83

1 row(s) retrieved.

> EXECUTE FUNCTION get_transaction_state_c();


(expression)

      1

1 row(s) retrieved.

>

Se reparar, a primeira execução retornou "0". Como ainda não tinha efectuado nenhuma operação não havia transacção aberta. Mas logo a seguir a um simples SELECT já retorna "1", o que significa que uma transacção implícita estava aberta. Isto prende-se com a natureza e comportamento das bases de dados em modo ANSI.
Se as usa e pretende usar esta função terá de ter isto em consideração. Ou poderá simplesmente mapear o retorno "1" e "2" da função mi_transaction_state() no retorno "1" da função criada por si. Isto sinalizaria que uma transacção estava aberta (omitindo a distinção entre transacção implícita e explícita).

Considerações finais

Relembro que este artigo serve mais como introdução aos UDRs na linguagem C que propriamente para resolver um problema real.
Se necessitar de saber se já está numa transacção (dentro de uma stored procedure por exemplo) pode usar esta solução, mas também podia tentar abrir uma transacção e capturar e gerir o erro dentro de um bloco ON EXCEPTION.

Chamo a atenção também para que se isto é um problema real das suas aplicações, mesmo que esteja já dentro de uma transacção, pode fazer com que o código da sua stored procedure trabalhe como uma unidade, usando a funcionalidade dos SAVEPOINTs, introduzida na versão 11.50. Em pseudo-código seria feito assim:

1. Chamar a get_transaction_state_c()
2. Se estamos dentro de uma transacção então estabelecer TX="SVPOINT" e criar um savepoint chamado "MYSVPOINT". Ir para 4)
3. Se não estamos dentro de uma transacção então estabelecer TX="TX" e criar uma. Ir para 4)
4. Correr o código da procedure
5. Se ocorrer algum erro testat a variável TX. Ir para 8)
   
6. Se TX =="TX" então ROLLBACK WORK. Retornar erro.
   
7. Senão, SE TX=="SVPOINT" então ROLLBACK WORK TO SAVEPOINT 'MYSVPOINT'. Retornar erro
   
8. Retornar sucesso
   

Depois desta introdução espero conseguir escrever mais alguns artigos relacionados com este tópico. A ideia base é que algumas vezes é muito fácil estender a funcionalidade base do Informix. E sinto que muitos clientes não tiram partido disto.
Naturalmente há implicações em escrever UDRs em C. O exemplo acima é terrivelmente simples, e não trará prejuízo ao motor. Mas quando escrevemos código que será executado pelo motor surgem uma série de questões... Utilização de memória, fugas de memória, segurança, estabilidade.... Mas existem respostas para estas preocupações. Espero que alguns (problema e soluções) sejam cobertos em artigos futuros.

Mind Mapping in the Cloud with Comapping

As I try to move more and more of my work to the cloud I keep going back to one application time and time again and that is Comapping. Comapping is a simple and easy to use mind mapping application that runs within the browser and gives me access to my maps from anywhere that I have access to the web. I should note up front, that Comapping has really become a great way for me to share information when I am presenting or teaching my graduate courses. It is easy to place web links and attach documents to the map which then gives my students access to the information that I need to provide them.

In many ways my Comapping maps can be thought up as a way for me to transport information that I need to share with others. One of the key features of Comapping is the ability to publish the information in such a way that it is easy to re-purpose it on a wiki, Blog, Google Site, or within Moodle. I have developed a number of Comapping maps for my graduate classes that I teach which is ideal since Comapping provides me with the embed code to publish it right within Moodle. This feature alone is worth its weight in gold. Now my students have access to web resources that are just a click away or they can download PDF files that I have attached to the map. If you haven't tried Comapping I urge you to take a look at it and see how it can help you manage the information more efficiently.

Here is an example of a Comapping map that I have used for some of my presentations:

Qwiki- New Informational Video Mashup

I recently came across this new informational  mashup service that is in beta called Qwiki which automatically creates a video complete with audio on a topic of your choice. The service is very engaging and I thought would be an ideal way for students to get an overview on a topic by watching the Qwiki video. There are invitations available for the service while it is still in beta - but it is very engaging and has lots of potential for the work we do. So if you have a chance check it out and let me know what you think.

Text-to-Speech Costs – Licensing and Pricing

This post is part of the series on Text-to-Speech (TTS) for eLearning written by Dr. Joel Harband and edited by me. The other posts are:

• Text-to-Speech Overview and NLP Quality,
• Digital Signal Processor and Text-to-Speech,
• Using Text-to-Speech in an eLearning Course,
• Text-to-Speech eLearning Tools - Integrated Products,
• Text-to-Speech vs Human Narration for eLearning, and
• Using Punctuation and Mark-Up Language to Increase Text-to-Speech Quality.
• Text-to-Speech Examples

In this post, we will look more closely at costs of Text-to-Speech and issues around TTS Voice Licensing and Pricing.  The subject of TTS voice licensing and pricing is important because it helps e-learning practitioners understand which TTS tools they are legally allowed to use for their specific applications as well as letting them estimate the costs and pricing models of using these TTS tools.

Voice Talent Rates and Implications on TTS Licensing and Pricing

When the TTS voice manufacturers looked for a pricing model for their product, they naturally looked at the model used by real voice talents, including the rates and the types of usage.

Here are some examples of rates of voice talents suited for e-learning (voice talents for advertising can be a lot more). The rates are given in $ per hour of recorded sound.

Site	Rate per hour
www.e-learningvoices.com/price-per-minute.php	$1200
www.voices.com	$800-$1200
www.voice123.com	$1800 (median)
www.narratorfiles.com	$650

The average for this type of voice talent is about $1200/hour.

In addition, voice talents and voice producers tend to charge depending on the purpose of the recording and size of the intended audience of the recording. If the recording is going to be heard by many people and helps the customer make a lot of money, the voice talents expect to get more money than if the recording has a very limited use. The rates will be different for local, regional or national broadcasts. For example: a 30 second recording for a TV commercial broadcast all over the US may cost several times more than a five minute recording for a local documentary (voice123.com).

The TTS vendors learned two things from the voice-talent pricing model:

• The price level – Because of their perceived lower voice quality, TTS voices need to be priced much lower than their real counterparts to be an attractive alternative
• The TTS voice price need to be fixed according to the value of its use to the customer.

Based on the second criterion, the TTS vendors work with the following two general usage categories:

• Personal Use - reading books, making sound files for personal use, etc. This is a low value usage.
• Audio Distribution – a sound file that was created with the voice is distributed and played to an audience. This usage has a higher value.

Audio Distribution

Audio distribution, which is similar to broadcasting a voice talent recording, is considered to be a usage that is more valuable to the customer. Within audio distribution the following categories exist. They are listed according to increasing value to the customer:

• Internal audio distribution - a company puts an audio training presentation with the TTS sound file on an internal server – intended for company employees only
• Public audio distribution - a company puts an audio product presentation they made with the TTS sound file on a public web site – intended for a more general audience. Includes call centers.
• Selling a TTS sound file for profit - a company sells an audio training presentation they made with the TTS sound file for profit

E-learning courses created by corporations are typically in the category of internal audio distribution – the course is put on the company server to be accessed by company employees.

TTS Voice Licenses

The TTS voice vendors enforce the intended usage of a voice by a voice license, which precisely describes the restrictions on the use of the voice. Strictly speaking, the vendors sell a license to use the voice software rather than selling the voice itself.

The following licenses are used:

Personal Use License – this license covers personal use of the TTS voice by the customer and expressly prohibits audio distribution - thus cannot be used for e-learning. Examples of products that use voices with personal license are: Natural Reader, TextAloud, Read the Words, and Spoken Text.

Personal licenses are sold for a low fixed price. In general, a price less than $50 indicates a personal license.

Audio Distribution License (ADL) – This is the license that permits audio distribution and is the type of license required for e-learning in business and education. The voice vendors have fixed the rate for an ADL license to be around 1/3 – 2/3 of the price of the equivalent voice talent ($1200/hour), depending on the TTS voice quality. The basic TTS voices cost $360/hour of recorded time and for the best TTS voices the rate can go up to $720/hour of recorded time.

The TTS voices with ADL are sold in three ways:

• Fixed Price – this model allows a company to purchase any TTS voice with full audio distribution rights from a vendor without being tied to the specific authoring tools (e.g., Captivate) and its bundled voices. In talking to vendors (Neospeech), I was told that this model had been selected by some companies. Acapela also offers a model like this for unrestricted ADL.  The fixed price depends on the exact usage. A typical price for internal training courses is $2500, which represents about 7 hours of recorded time.
• On-Demand - Voices can be purchased via on-demand web services or desktop products that accept text and generate sound files. They charge according to elapsed time of the generated file, at a rate of about $6/min ($360/hour).
• From a Reseller – A company purchases voices from a reseller at a reduced price. The price is lower because the reseller has bought voices in volume. This is the case for Adobe Captivate and Tuval Software’s Speech-Over Professional where those companies resell the voices bundled with their products and the voice license terms are specified with the product. At present, the purchase price for these tools includes a fixed price for the voice license that does not depend on the elapsed time of the generated file.

Course developers generally are going to use bundled products, i.e., from a reseller.  In some cases, there will be use of other models.  

Matchware Announces Mindview 4

It just came to my attention that Matchware has announced MindView 4 which is chock full of new and exciting features. One of the hallmarks of this release is collaboration and the ability to share your MindView 4 maps in a shared workspace.This feature will certainly herald in new and innovative ways to use mind mapping in the work space. Matchware has also included some new formatting and styles that can qucikly be applied and there is now the ability to Export to PDF which looks interesting.I for one am looking forward to finding out first hand the ins and outs of what looks to me to be a fantastic upgrade. Hope to do a review soon!

You can contact him at: crwr77@gmail.com. This list is focused mostly on the first half of the year: January to June 2011. And it covers a broad range of types of topics.

Please note that events, dates, titles, and locations may change; thus, CHECK the specific conference website. Note also that some events will be cancelled at a later date. All Internet addresses were verified at the time of publication. No liability is assumed for any errors that may have been introduced inadvertently during the assembly of this conference list. If possible, please do not remove the contact information when you re-distribute the list as that is how I receive updates and corrections.

If you are mounting your own conference, please ensure that the following information is clearly visible on your web page and/or poster: the name of the event, location (including country), date of the event, the FULL name of the sponsoring organization, and an e-mail contact address.
