Unified Modeling Language
The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a general-purpose modeling language in the field of software engineering. The basic level provides a set of graphic notation techniques to create visual models of object-oriented software-intensive systems. Higher levels cover process-oriented views of a system. It was developed by Grady Booch, Ivar Jacobson and James Rumbaugh at Rational Software in the 1990s.[1] It was adopted by the Object Management Group (OMG) in 1997, and has been managed by this organization ever since. In 2000 the Unified Modeling Language was accepted by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) as a standard for modeling software-intensive systems.
Although originally intended for object-oriented design documentation, the Unified Modeling Language (UML) has been extended to cover process-oriented design documentation, and now combines techniques from data modeling (entity relationship diagrams), business modeling (work flows), object modeling, and component modeling. It can be used with all processes, throughout the software development life cycle, and across different implementation technologies.[2]
The Unified Modeling Language (UML) offers a standard way to visualize a system's architectural blueprints, including elements such as:
- activities
- actors
- business processes
- database schemas
- (logical) components
- programming language statements
- reusable software components.[3]
UML has synthesized the notations of the Booch method, the Object-modeling technique (OMT) and Object-oriented software engineering (OOSE) by fusing them into a single, common and widely usable modeling language.[4] UML aims to be a standard modeling language which can model concurrent and distributed systems.
UML models may be automatically transformed to other representations (e.g. Java) by means of QVT-like transformation languages. UML is extensible, with two mechanisms for customization: profiles and stereotypes.
UML has been evolving since the second half of the 1990s and has its roots in the object-oriented methods developed in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The timeline (see image) shows the highlight of the history of object-oriented modeling methods and notation.
Before UML 1.x[edit]
After Rational Software Corporation hired James Rumbaugh from General Electric in 1994, the company became the source for two of the most popular object-oriented modeling approaches of the day:[5] Rumbaugh's Object-modeling technique (OMT) and Grady Booch's method known as Object-oriented design (OOD). They were soon assisted in their efforts by Ivar Jacobson, the creator of the object-oriented software engineering (OOSE) method. Jacobson joined Rational in 1995, after his company, Objectory AB,[6] was acquired by Rational. The three methodologists were collectively referred to as the "Three Amigos".
In 1996, Rational concluded that the abundance of modeling languages was slowing the adoption of object technology,[citation needed] so repositioning the work on a unified method, they tasked the "Three Amigos" with the development of a non-proprietary Unified Modeling Language. Representatives of competing object technology companies were consulted during OOPSLA '96;[citation needed] they chose boxes for representing classes rather than the cloud symbols that were used in Booch's notation.
Under the technical leadership of the "Three Amigos", an international consortium called the UML Partners was organized in 1996 to complete the Unified Modeling Language (UML) specification, and propose it as a response to the OMG RFP. The UML Partners' UML 1.0 specification draft was proposed to the OMG in January 1997. During the same month the UML Partners formed a Semantics Task Force, chaired by Cris Kobryn and administered by Ed Eykholt, to finalize the semantics of the specification and integrate it with other standardization efforts. The result of this work, UML 1.1, was submitted to the OMG in August 1997 and adopted by the OMG in November 1997.[7]
UML 1.x[edit]
As a modeling notation, the influence of the OMT notation dominates (e. g., using rectangles for classes and objects). Though the Booch "cloud" notation was dropped, the Booch capability to specify lower-level design detail was embraced. The use case notation from Objectory and the component notation from Booch were integrated with the rest of the notation, but the semantic integration was relatively weak in UML 1.1, and was not really fixed until the UML 2.0 major revision.[citation needed]
Concepts from many other OO methods were also loosely integrated with UML with the intent that UML would support all OO methods. Many others also contributed, with their approaches flavouring the many models of the day, including: Tony Wasserman and Peter Pircher with the "Object-Oriented Structured Design (OOSD)" notation (not a method), Ray Buhr's "Systems Design with Ada", Archie Bowen's use case and timing analysis, Paul Ward's data analysis and David Harel's "Statecharts"; as the group tried to ensure broad coverage in the real-time systems domain. As a result, UML is useful in a variety of engineering problems, from single process, single user applications to concurrent, distributed systems, making UML rich but also large.
The Unified Modeling Language is an international standard:
- ISO/IEC 19501:2005 Information technology – Open Distributed Processing – Unified Modeling Language (UML) Version 1.4.2
UML 2.x[edit]
UML has matured significantly since UML 1.1. Several minor revisions (UML 1.3, 1.4, and 1.5) fixed shortcomings and bugs with the first version of UML, followed by the UML 2.0 major revision that was adopted by the OMG in 2005.[8]
Although UML 2.1 was never released as a formal specification, versions 2.1.1 and 2.1.2 appeared in 2007, followed by UML 2.2 in February 2009. UML 2.3 was formally released in May 2010.[9] UML 2.4.1 was formally released in August 2011.[10] UML 2.5 was released in October 2012 as an "In process" version and has yet to become formally released.[11]
There are four parts to the UML 2.x specification:
- The Superstructure that defines the notation and semantics for diagrams and their model elements
- The Infrastructure that defines the core metamodel on which the Superstructure is based
- The Object Constraint Language (OCL) for defining rules for model elements
- The UML Diagram Interchange that defines how UML 2 diagram layouts are exchanged
The current versions of these standards follow: UML Superstructure version 2.4.1, UML Infrastructure version 2.4.1, OCL version 2.3.1, and UML Diagram Interchange version 1.0.[12]
Although many UML tools support some of the new features of UML 2.x, the OMG provides no test suite to objectively test compliance with its specifications.
Software development methods[edit]
UML is not a development method by itself;[13] however, it was designed to be compatible with the leading object-oriented software development methods of its time (for example OMT, Booch method, Objectory). Since UML has evolved, some of these methods have been recast to take advantage of the new notations (for example OMT), and new methods have been created based on UML, such as IBM Rational Unified Process (RUP). Others include Abstraction Method and Dynamic Systems Development Method.
It is important to distinguish between the UML model and the set of diagrams of a system. A diagram is a partial graphic representation of a system's model. The model also contains documentation that drives the model elements and diagrams (such as written use cases).
UML diagrams represent two different views of a system model:[14]
- Static (or structural) view: emphasizes the static structure of the system using objects, attributes, operations and relationships. The structural view includes class diagrams and composite structure diagrams.
- Dynamic (or behavioral) view: emphasizes the dynamic behavior of the system by showing collaborations among objects and changes to the internal states of objects. This view includes sequence diagrams, activity diagrams and state machine diagrams.
UML models can be exchanged among UML tools by using the XML Metadata Interchange (XMI) interchange format.
Diagrams overview[edit]
UML diagrams |
Structural UML diagrams |
Behavioral UML diagrams |
UML 2.2 has 14 types of diagrams divided into two categories.[15] Seven diagram types represent structural information, and the other seven represent general types of behavior, including four that represent different aspects of interactions. These diagrams can be categorized hierarchically as shown in the following class diagram:
UML does not restrict UML element types to a certain diagram type. In general, every UML element may appear on almost all types of diagrams; this flexibility has been partially restricted in UML 2.0. UML profiles may define additional diagram types or extend existing diagrams with additional notations.
In keeping with the tradition of engineering drawings,[citation needed] a comment or note explaining usage, constraint, or intent is allowed in a UML diagram.
Structure diagrams[edit]
Structure diagrams emphasize the things that must be present in the system being modeled. Since structure diagrams represent the structure, they are used extensively in documenting the software architecture of software systems.
- Class diagram: describes the structure of a system by showing the system's classes, their attributes, and the relationships among the classes.
- Component diagram: describes how a software system is split up into components and shows the dependencies among these components.
- Composite structure diagram: describes the internal structure of a class and the collaborations that this structure makes possible.
- Deployment diagram: describes the hardware used in system implementations and the execution environments and artifacts deployed on the hardware.
- Object diagram: shows a complete or partial view of the structure of an example modeled system at a specific time.
- Package diagram: describes how a system is split up into logical groupings by showing the dependencies among these groupings.
- Profile diagram: operates at the metamodel level to show stereotypes as classes with the <<stereotype>> stereotype, and profiles as packages with the <<profile>> stereotype. The extension relation (solid line with closed, filled arrowhead) indicates what metamodel element a given stereotype is extending.
Behavior diagrams[edit]
Behavior diagrams emphasize what must happen in the system being modeled. Since behavior diagrams illustrate the behavior of a system, they are used extensively to describe the functionality of software systems.
- Activity diagram: describes the business and operational step-by-step workflows of components in a system. An activity diagram shows the overall flow of control.
- UML state machine diagram: describes the states and state transitions of the system.
- Use Case Diagram: describes the functionality provided by a system in terms of actors, their goals represented as use cases, and any dependencies among those use cases.
State Machine diagram
Interaction diagrams[edit]
Interaction diagrams, a subset of behavior diagrams, emphasize the flow of control and data among the things in the system being modeled:
- Communication diagram: shows the interactions between objects or parts in terms of sequenced messages. They represent a combination of information taken from Class, Sequence, and Use Case Diagrams describing both the static structure and dynamic behavior of a system.
- Interaction overview diagram: provides an overview in which the nodes represent communication diagrams.
- Sequence diagram: shows how objects communicate with each other in terms of a sequence of messages. Also indicates the lifespans of objects relative to those messages.
- Timing diagrams: a specific type of interaction diagram where the focus is on timing constraints.
The Protocol State Machine is a sub-variant of the State Machine. It may be used to model network communication protocols.
Meta modeling[edit]
The Object Management Group (OMG) has developed a metamodeling architecture to define the Unified Modeling Language (UML), called the Meta-Object Facility (MOF).[16] The Meta-Object Facility is designed as a four-layered architecture, as shown in the image at right. It provides a meta-meta model at the top layer, called the M3 layer. This M3-model is the language used by Meta-Object Facility to build metamodels, called M2-models.
The most prominent example of a Layer 2 Meta-Object Facility model is the UML metamodel, the model that describes the UML itself. These M2-models describe elements of the M1-layer, and thus M1-models. These would be, for example, models written in UML. The last layer is the M0-layer or data layer. It is used to describe runtime instance of the system.
Beyond the M3-model, the Meta-Object Facility describes the means to create and manipulate models and metamodels by defining Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) interfaces that describe those operations. Because of the similarities between the Meta-Object Facility M0-model and UML structure models, Meta-Object Facility metamodels are usually modeled as UML class diagrams. A supporting standard of the Meta-Object Facility is XMI, which defines an XML-based exchange format for models on the M3-, M2-, or M1-Layer.
This article's Criticism or Controversy section may compromise the article's neutral point of view of the subject. (December 2010) |
Although UML is a widely recognized and used modeling standard, it is frequently[citation needed] criticized for the following:
- Standards bloat
- Bertrand Meyer, in a satirical essay framed as a student's request for a grade change, apparently criticized UML as of 1997 for being unrelated to object-oriented software development; a disclaimer was added later pointing out that his company nevertheless supports UML.[17] Ivar Jacobson, a co-architect of UML, said that objections to UML 2.0's size were valid enough to consider the application of intelligent agents to the problem.[18] It contains many diagrams and constructs that are redundant or infrequently used.
- Problems in learning and adopting
- The problems cited in this section make learning and adopting UML problematic, especially when required of engineers lacking the prerequisite skills.[19] In practice, people often draw diagrams with the symbols provided by their CASE tool, but without the meanings those symbols are intended to provide. Simple user narratives e.g. "what I do at work ..." have shown to be much simpler to record and more immediately useful.[citation needed]
- Linguistic incoherence
- The standards have been cited as being ambiguous and inconsistent.[20][21][22] The UML 2.0 standard still suffers many issues.[23][24]
- Capabilities of UML and implementation language mismatch
- Typical of other notational systems, UML is able to represent some systems more concisely or efficiently than others. Thus a developer gravitates toward solutions that reside at the intersection of the capabilities of UML and the implementation language. This problem is particularly pronounced if the implementation language does not adhere to orthodox object-oriented doctrine, since the intersection set between UML and implementation language may be that much smaller or equal in size.[citation needed]
- Dysfunctional interchange format
- While the XMI (XML Metadata Interchange) standard is designed to facilitate the interchange of UML models, it has been largely ineffective in the practical interchange of UML 2.x models. This interoperability ineffectiveness is attributable to several reasons. Firstly, XMI 2.x is large and complex in its own right, since it purports to address a technical problem more ambitious than exchanging UML 2.x models. In particular, it attempts to provide a mechanism for facilitating the exchange of any arbitrary modeling language defined by the OMG's Meta-Object Facility (MOF). Secondly, the UML 2.x Diagram Interchange specification lacks sufficient detail to facilitate reliable interchange of UML 2.x notations between modeling tools. Since UML is a visual modeling language, this shortcoming is substantial for modelers who don't want to redraw their diagrams.[25] The Diagram Definition OMG project is another alternative.[26]
- Cardinality notation
- As with database Chen, Bachman, and ISO ER diagrams, class models are specified to use "look-across" cardinalities, even though several authors (Merise,[27] Elmasri & Navathe [28] amongst others [29]) prefer same-side or "look-here" for roles and both minimum and maximum cardinalities. Recent researchers (Feinerer,[30] Dullea et. alia [31]) have shown that the "look-across" technique used by UML and ER diagrams is less effective and less coherent when applied to n-ary relationships of order >2.
- In Feinerer it says "Problems arise if we operate under the look-across semantics as used for UML associations. Hartmann [32] investigates this situation and shows how and why different transformations fail." (Although the "reduction" mentioned is spurious as the two diagrams 3.4 and 3.5 are in fact the same) and also "As we will see on the next few pages, the look-across interpretation introduces several difficulties which prevent the extension of simple mechanisms from binary to n-ary associations."
- Exclusive
- The term "unified" applies only to the unification of the many prior existing and competing object-oriented languages. Important well known and popular techniques, almost universally used in industry, such as data flow diagrams and structure charts were not included in the specification.[citation needed]
Modeling experts have written criticisms of UML, including Brian Henderson-Sellers and Cesar Gonzalez-Perez in "Uses and Abuses of the Stereotype Mechanism in UML 1.x and 2.0".[33]
- Complexity
- UML has been criticized for being extremely complex compared to other tools.[34]

Germany-based home improvement retailer Praktiker Bau Und Heimwerkermaerkte Holding AG (PKKRF.PK)announced that its supervisory board has approved a financing concept for implementation of the restructuring program. An investor is offering a senior loan of 85 million euro to the company.
Under the new plan, it will convert a greater number of Praktiker stores to Max Bahr outlets. The financing concept involves fundamental changes of the restructuring program initiated in November 2011 and contains a considerable reduction of the overall financing volume, the company stated.
With the approval of this financing concept, the restructuring mission of Management Board members Thomas Fox and Josef Schultheis are leaving the company immediately, but will remain available as advisors.The long-time board member Kay Hafner has been appointed chairman, the company added.

If that could EVER happen, then the electrician that installed it should lose his or her job.
Stuff like that can not happen if installed properly.
And Your "Short" would have to be in the breaker box, or the current for each breaker will not be divided by half, It will depend on the resistance of the wire on the Other "Short".
Is everyone confused yet ?
We all need to stay on the same page.

You would be surprised at the stuff that happens inside industrial factories. I've seen conduits crushed by high-low forks, boxes damaged when someone drops a 200lb bearing housing, wires melted by someone welding too close, etc etc. No one wants to take responsibility and things go unreported.
Residential wiring is so simple I would generally agree with you, however, even then, I've seen mice chew through insulation and people put nails through wires.
Yup.. that is correct. That said, the difference in the lengths of the wires would have to be significant to create enough of a resistance to have any real world effect.And Your "Short" would have to be in the breaker box, or the current for each breaker will not be divided by half, It will depend on the resistance of the wire on the Other "Short".
Wouldn't your two wires also add up?
I lived in a house that had a wiring fault that was unresolved for years, involving the entire second floor being on a single 15 amp breaker. This was due to a mistaken connection somewhere in the second floor wiring that joined two separate 15 amp circuits together. The two breakers were positioned in the box so as to provide a dead short in the event that they were both on, and being good breakers, that never happened.
Hasn't this died down yet?
I too have a piece of paper that says how wonderful I am -- BSEE from University of Washington. The funny thing is, I think I forgot more while at the U than I learned. I wired my first light switch when I was 6 years old...
As JW was busy quoting the NEC, I was Googling for dictionary definitions and reading Wikipedia, etc. After filtering out all the fluff, the one "definition" that stood out said something like "a short bypasses part of a circuit".
I don't agree that a short is always unintentional -- if you intentionally set a crescent wrench on a car battery that would be a short in my book (don't do that BTW).
I roomed in a house once that you needed to turn off three breakers to kill anything and everything. Wonder if it's still there.
You said:
then somehow you ended up with just one wire.
I have been doing electrical work since 1966. I have done about everything one can think of from wiring single wide mobile home to water plants at 4160 volts and the one thing I have never seen is what you are describing.
Yes I know that industrial maintenance men get to see everything but in most cases it is because they install the mess.
Having done consulting in many plants around my area I too have seen some pretty sloppy work done in the industrial plants. It has been my experience that the reason behind this type of work is the lack of education and supervision. In other words if the boss don't know how can he guide.
Imagine 2 breakers feeding 2 wires.. somewhere down the line, the 2 wires contact each other.. Now you basically have a parallel circuit up to the point where the two wires contact.. Further down the line pass the point of contact, you have 2 individual wires again but they are both being feed by the same parallel circuit. Now, lets say one breaker was feeding a bedroom and the other was feeding a bathroom. The bedroom or the bathroom have now effectively become a 30 amp circuit being provided by a 14ga (15amp) wire. Did that clear up what I was trying to say?
One of the other posters in this thread commented he had a house that had this problem happen.. but his breakers were on different phases so they popped immediately. That said, I'm sure there are lots of things you have seen that I have not.. I am not an electrician who pulls wire for a living. I've certainly done my share of it, but its not my normal daily job.I have been doing electrical work since 1966. I have done about everything one can think of from wiring single wide mobile home to water plants at 4160 volts and the one thing I have never seen is what you are describing.
My daily job is to cruise forums and nik pick at folks like you! LOL
At my ripe old age all I do is sit around trying to remember those things I have forgotten.
Now let's see, is it the base times the height or is it the base squared plus the height squared then we have to make a root square…………… no, no, no it is if you have a tree that has square roots then it won't get very high and you will have to hide the pot in a noose. Yea that's it and also if you try to borrow money at the bank and they won't let you sine you have someone to cosine for you. Well let's not get off on a tangent here.
I still feel sorry for poor ole Oscar because Oscar had a heap of apples and that is all anyone needs to know to find the sine or the cosine.
Lots of fine folks think that ½ equals one half but to the wise they will say that ½ is one divided by 2 or that ½ is the reciprocal of 2
Such nonsense that I once remembered while the young of today can only think about getting horizontal.

That's Not Art!: Creepy Singing Android Heads
This is a piece of "art" by a really sucky artist that I can't even believe even has the gall to CONSIDER themselves an artist. The piece is for sale at the Art Basel gallery in Miami Beach. The asking price? $75,000. I'd rather eat shit!
The heads are connected to servos behind the mold of the artist's face that are controlled by a computer. The movements and sound are on a 15 minute loop and both sing together and uncomfortably look around the room individually. VEEEERY CREEEPY.
Very creepy is right! Also, I'm still pissed this is considered art. I mean, come on now. I'm so frustrated right now I could song a few bars myself. LA LA LA LA LA LA LA. Just like angels, I know.
Thanks to Spikey DaPikey, naas, Grillonic, Michael and Cpt. Awesome, who are gonna pool their money to buy the piece and burn it name a star after me.

Had several chips in my hull an along the back. I patched them with this little tube of gell patch. Hardened like a rock. The chips were the size of my thumbnail and the bottom of my boat still looks good. Has not rubbed or worn off yet!

Rated 5 out of 5 by accord01 Great Product!
I have a bunk on my trailer that had 7 nuts and bolts that evidently weren't tightened down and the metal that the bunk was attached to became exposed and pulling my ski boat allowed the metal to dig into the fiberglass. The evercoat gel coat scratch patch did the trick. It has held strong for 3 weeks so far and is still going strong. Using the supplied "scraper", it applied very smoothly and I haven't needed to sand it. I applied wax over it, and it is just as smooth as the boats hull.

No. If you are having issues with leaking around the rivets of your aluminum boat you may want to look at taking it to a professional boat repair person or metal work to either weld the boat or re-rivet that area.Details:

It's similar to normal weed but it's alot stronger, not if you are used to other strong types like white widow, amnesia haze etc. You also feel a bit more numb, like if you smack yourself in the face, you almost don't notice :p. I love it.

NTSB urges safety gear for taxiing jets after incidents at O'Hare, other airports
By BART JANSEN September 6, 2012 9:52AM
Updated: September 6, 2012 2:02PM
Big jetliners should be equipped with anti-collision equipment such as cameras to help pilots avoid clipping wingtips while taxiing, the National Transportation Safety Board is recommending in the wake of a series of "runway incursions," including one in May at O'Hare Airport. The recommendation from the safety board to the Federal Aviation Administration follows at least three runway collisions in the last 18 months. One of the collisions, involving the world's biggest passenger jet, drew national attention: That wass when a giant Airbus A380 struck the tail of a small regional jet April 11 of last year at New York's JFK airport. The problem in larger planes, the NTSB said, is that the pilot can't see the wingtips from the cockpit without opening a window, which the NTSB says is often impractical. The board suggests that a camera could be mounted with a display in the cockpit so that pilots could see other aircraft and obstacles. "While collision-warning systems are now common in highway vehicles, it is important for the aviation industry to consider their application in large aircraft," said Deborah Hersman, the NTSB's chairman. Preventing runway collisions has long been a high priority for the safety board. Since 2007, the FAA — which has 90 days to respond to the safety board's recommendation — has added new safety technology, altered procedures for how planes taxi and pressured airlines and airports to make dozens of additional improvements. In a September 2011 report, the most recent year available, the FAA said the most critical ground errors, called runway incursions, had fallen the previous decade from a high of 67 a year to seven. Still, incursions occur.
◆ More recently on May 30, the rudder of an American Eagle Embraer 135 regional jet was struck in the tail by the right wing of a Taiwanese EVA Airways Boeing 747 cargo plane that was taxiing at O'Hare Airport. The Embraer suffered substantial damage to the rudder and vertical stabilizer, while the 747 had minor damage to the wingtip and slats. No one was hurt. The NTSB said that new warning equipment should be installed on older planes as well as new ones and that Boeing's 747, 757, 767 and 777 models, along with the Airbus A380 and McDonnell Douglas' MD-10 and MD-11, should be covered. The airline industry group Airlines for America said the risks are low. "These types of incidents are extremely rare in the context of overall operations," spokeswoman Victoria Day said. "Airlines have procedures in place using wing walkers and other means to minimize these risks."

Absinthe's Chef Jamie Lauren: Top Chef Calls
God, it feels good to be right.
If you haven't already read our coverage of the Top Chef casting calls, which I wrote about in April, click here. Back then, I made the proclamation that SF's own Jamie Lauren—currently the executive chef at Absinthe—was definitely headed for fame.
And if you haven't already heard, I was right. Jaime is going to be on the next Top Chef, as what they call a "cheftestant."
Although Lauren is certainly headed for potential ridicule as well as fame (aren't all reality show contestants?), I've always thought of Top Chef as being ok, as reality shows go. But then, I watched one of the video clips on Bravo's site, where they ask TF's judges and host—Tom, Padma and Gail—what gives them a "culinary boner?" (Can you see me cringing? I'm cringing.)
Padma practically licks her lips talking about the culmination of bitter, salty and sweet; Gail asks if they could please rephrase this to ask what makes her "tingle," and Tom says something to the effect of how he's looking for someone that's going to "explode" on the scene.
To add to all of this middle-school-style sexual innuendo, know that in our next issue, Jessica Battilana asked Jaime what she's obsessed with—and where to get it. While on the Top Chef website she says onions (onions?), for us, it's something just slightly more provocative. Pick up a copy of 7x7 when November hits the stands to find out.

Apple still tops in tablets, despite dwindling market share
Apple shipped enough iPads last quarter to continue its reign as the No. 1 tablet vendor.
For the third quarter, Apple shipped 14.25 million iPads, giving it a market share of 29.7 percent, research firm IHS said on Wednesday. Those numbers were down from the second quarter when shipments totaled 14.62 million and market share rang in at 33.5 percent.
IHS blamed the lower shipments on a shift in Apple's iPad launch cycle. In 2012, the company unveiled new tablets in the spring and fall. But 2013 saw a single launch when Apple unveiled the … Read more

Marks or unmarks a table for full-text indexing.
sp_fulltext_table [ @tabname = ] 'qualified_table_name'
, [ @action = ] 'action'
[ , [ @ftcat = ] 'fulltext_catalog_name'
, [ @keyname = ] 'unique_index_name' ]
[@tabname =] 'qualified_table_name'
Is a one- or two-part table name. The table must exist in the current database. qualified_table_name is nvarchar(517), with no default.
[@action =] 'action'
Is the action to be performed. action is varchar(20), with no default, and can be one of these values.
Value | Description |
Create | Creates the metadata for a full-text index for the table referenced by qualified_table_name and specifies that the full-text index data for this table should reside in fulltext_catalog_name. This action also designates the use of unique_index_name as the full-text key column. This unique index must already be present and must be defined on one column of the table.
A full-text search cannot be performed against this table until the full-text catalog is populated. |
Drop | Drops the metadata on the full-text index for qualified_table_name. If the full-text index is active, it is automatically deactivated before being dropped. It is not necessary to remove columns before dropping the full-text index. |
Activate | Activates the ability for full-text index data to be gathered for qualified_table_name, after it has been deactivated. There must be at least one column participating in the full-text index before it can be activated.
A full-text index is automatically made active (for population) as soon as the first column is added for indexing. If the last column is dropped from the index, the index becomes inactive. If change tracking is on, activating an inactive index starts a new population. Note that this does not actually populate the full-text index, but simply registers the table in the full-text catalog in the file system so that rows from qualified_table_name can be retrieved during the next full-text index population. |
Deactivate | Deactivates the full-text index for qualified_table_name so that full-text index data can no longer be gathered for the qualified_table_name. The full-text index metadata remains and the table can be reactivated.
If change tracking is on, deactivating an active index freezes the state of the index: any ongoing population is stopped, and no more changes are propagated to the index. |
start_change_tracking | Start an incremental population of the full-text index. If the table does not have a timestamp, start a full population of the full-text index. Start tracking changes to the table.
Full-text change tracking does not track any WRITETEXT or UPDATETEXT operations performed on full-text indexed columns that are of type image, text, or ntext. |
stop_change_tracking | Stop tracking changes to the table. |
update_index | Propagate the current set of tracked changes to the full-text index. |
start_background_updateindex | Start propagating tracked changes to the full-text index as they occur. |
stop_background_updateindex | Stop propagating tracked changes to the full-text index as they occur. |
start_full | Start a full population of the full-text index for the table. |
start_incremental | Start an incremental population of the full-text index for the table. |
Stop | Stop a full or incremental population. |
[@ftcat =] 'fulltext_catalog_name'
Is a valid, existing full-text catalog name for a create action. For all other actions, this parameter must be NULL. fulltext_catalog_name is sysname, with a default of NULL.
[@keyname =] 'unique_index_name'
Is a valid single-key-column, unique nonnullable index on qualified_table_name for a create action. For all other actions, this parameter must be NULL. unique_index_name is sysname, with a default of NULL.
Return Code Values
0 (success) or 1 (failure)
Result Sets
After a full-text index is deactivated for a particular table, the existing full-text index remains in place until the next full population; however, this index is not used because Microsoft® SQL Server™ blocks queries on deactivated tables.
If the table is reactivated and the index is not repopulated, the old index is still available for queries against any remaining, but not new, full-text enabled columns. Data from deleted columns are matched in queries that specify an all-full-text column (*) search.
After a table has been defined for full-text indexing, switching the full-text unique key column from one data type to another, either by changing the data type of that column or changing the full-text unique key from one column to another, without a full repopulation may cause a failure to occur during a subsequent query and returning the error message: "Conversion to type data_type failed for full-text search key value key_value." To prevent this, drop the full-text definition for this table using the drop action of sp_fulltext_table and redefine it using sp_fulltext_table and sp_fulltext_column.
If the full-text unique key column is a character or Unicode character column, it must be defined to be 450 bytes or less.
Only members of the sysadmin fixed server role, db_owner and db_ddladmin fixed database roles, and the object owner can execute sp_fulltext_table.
A. To enable a table for full-text indexing
This example creates full-text index metadata for the Categories table of the Northwind database. Cat_Desc is a full-text catalog. PK_Categories is a unique, single-column index on Categories.
USE Northwind
EXEC sp_fulltext_table 'Categories', 'create', 'Cat_Desc', 'PK_Categories'
.. Add some columns
EXEC sp_fulltext_column 'Categories','Description','add'
.. Activate the index
EXEC sp_fulltext_table 'Categories','activate'
B. To activate and propagate track changes
This example activates and starts propagating tracked changes to the full-text index as they occur.
USE Northwind
EXEC sp_fulltext_table Categories, 'Start_change_tracking'
EXEC sp_fulltext_table Categories, 'Start_background_updateindex'
C. To remove a full-text index
This example removes the full-text index metadata for the Categories table of the Northwind database.
USE Northwind
EXEC sp_fulltext_table 'Categories', 'drop'

A word from Victor's
Victor's one of the most stylish restaurants in Provincetown and yet it's so completely relaxed and fun-loving; it boasts a fresh-faced waitstaff, and one might at times think you're dining in the Hampton's rather than Ptown. The decor is beachy in an urbane way. You have to book a table or else
all bets are off. The best reason to love Victor's is the food served tapas style, all plates are not only meant to be shared they should be. With a great raw bar happy hour that opens in summer at 3PM (oysters, shrimp, clams and crab claws $.99 each) and a very tanned and scrubbed up crowd, one should be an expert cocktailer and conversationalist if hanging at the bar. The wine list is on par with the best of towns lounges. Order tuna Napoleon, chopped salad, or enchiladas, then work your way through fish tacos and skirt steak. Victor himself is always there to make sure you're happy! Here is great food, superb eye-candy wait staff and friendly crowd that projects a country club feel.

Amazing food, came w 4 of my
friends and our table was ready and waiting for us. Place was packed. Waiter apologized for wait on our wine because bar was a bit backed up. When I say food was amazing its an understatement. We had the spring rolls, mushroom empanadas, fish tacos, meatballs, short ribs, and the sweet potato fries. Stuffed but loving every second. Wine we chose was delicious! I can't wait for the next time we are in town to come back."

From the time we entered Victor's,
we were treated as very special guests. We opted to have a drink at the bar, and were we glad that we did! I ordered a white cranberry cosmo, and it was brilliant to view and also to taste, thanks to Florian! At the end of the bar, we spotted the raw seafood bar. I decided to have an oyster sampler, and it came with two different sauces that were superb! When we were seated in the dining room, we were welcomed by an expert server - Henrique, who treated us like we were the only guests in the place! Our meals (served tapa style) were exceptionally prepared and presented. Victor's is a superb customer-service oriented restaurant with servers who are expert at their craft. I give Victor's my highest rating!"

We were at Victor's only for the
Happy Hour. That was a great deal with the 99 cent oysters. The food menu looked good and we would definitely plan to go back."

Six friends shared a memorable,
enjoyable evening of dinning at Victors. We were not rushed. Our food arrived at our table in a timely fashion, hot, and well displayed. We loved the Tapas style of sharing plates. It made for lots of great eating and lively conversation. It would be helpful to have an extra set of implements to cut, serve, and share the plates."
Dined on 10/13/2013
We came to Victor's for the happy
hour oysters and shrimp and left with a warm glow from the overall food quality, preparation, and service. The Wellfleet oysters were excellent and the shrimp were nice as were the cocktails. We had a very nice beet salad and an excellent scallop quesadilla. The only misstep of the evening was the lobster ravioli which was a bit under cooked, however the sauce was good enough to eat with a spoon. Our server was very nice and efficient. Worth a visit."
Dined on 10/11/2013
Dined with four this time,
celebrating the birthday of a friend who was a Victor's virgin. We ordered at least 10 different small dishes as well as some goodies from the raw bar. Excellent service, especially since we took nearly 3 hours to dine. Never were we rushed. The meal was relaxing and very flavorful. Victor's never disappoints."
Dined on 10/12/2013
Victor's is great. We go often. On
this last visit, perhaps because it is the end of the season, the service was indifferent. We were treated as somehow less important than other guests. When we asked for a dry white wine, the bartender suggested a Riesling which is about as far from dry as one could get. The service just wasn't as tight as it normally is. Food still excellent. I really appreciate having Victor's in Ptown, just not the other night."
Dined on 10/12/2013
Love the tapas style of foods.
Great for 4 people to share lots of dishes. Many delicious choices. Gluten-free labels. Favorite restaurant in Provincetown. Good wine and cocktail menu. Very highly recommend."

Victor's is a very good tapas
restaurant. The ambience is very relaxing. The service is outstanding. The food is excellent."
Dined on 10/5/2013
Wow! From start to finish, we had
an amazing dining experience! Friendly host, knowledgable server, excellent drinks, tasty delicious unique food selections! Saw Victor himself talking & greeting guests! Left very happy & satisfied! :)"
Dined on 10/3/2013
Our first time to Victor's and
will be one of many! The food was outstanding. The ambiance upscale but friendly. My husband and I shared several small plates, like the mussels in a fantastic broth that you just had to dip the crusty bread in to savor. And the enchiladas, fish tacos and seafood cakes all amazingly delicious. Not sure how the chef can make so many unique and wonderful dishes in one kitchen. The drinks were very good and generous. Our waiter, Henrique, and the gentleman hosting were both very helpful to us in choosing menu items. We really enjoyed the excellent food and the friendly atmosphere here. Great place!"
Dined on 9/30/2013
Loved this restaurant!!! Can't
wait to come back to Ptown to go again!"
Dined on 9/30/2013
Really enjoyed the tapas concept
here and the food was very tasty. Our waiter was very good as well. For these reasons I would return and recommend. The skirt steak and seafood cakes were our favorites and my lychee cocktail was excellent. However, there was a high noise level and this is not the place to go if you want a relaxed pace dining experience."
Dined on 9/28/2013
We loved everything about Victor's
except the noise level. We were there on a Saturday NIght for dinner. The food, the service, the welcoming atmosphere- these were great. The bridal party of 14 next to us were a bit too much. Rozzie"
Dined on 9/29/2013
we live in town 1 year, but have
been going to Victors since it opened and have never been disappointed..the staff...the food...drinks and Victor himself never fail to please.....best Drag brunch ever"
Dined on 9/23/2013
Food was great. Service was just
ok. We were a 6-top and table was very tight and not comfortable for 6."
Dined on 9/23/2013
Victor's is consistently
wonderful. The ambiance is perfect. The. Food has so many choices so anyone can find several choices it's fun to try several things and share which means you can have variety. I wouldn't miss going to Victor's when visiting Provincetown."
Dined on 9/23/2013
Victor's is a tapas restaurant
with a relaxed atmosphere. The manager and wait staff are fun and very friendly. The larger the group, the more selections you can choose. We were 7 people and selected at least 19 dishes. They have vast and varied wine and hard alcohol lists and will make just about any specialty drink you can think of. Tapas restaurant portions are small and Victor's serves 2 dishes at a time to pass around so you don't get overwhelmed. We ordered 2 or 3 of the ones we liked most. The pizza, cannelloni, lobster risotto, sizzling asian steak, calamari, shrimp, sweet potato fries, and wonderful raw bar were our big favorites. The dessert menu is also fabulous, especially the sampler and the chocolate creme brulees."
Dined on 9/21/2013
Everyone feels like a hero when at
Victor's because the food is consistently excellent and it's hands-down one of THE BEST raw bars I've experienced ANYWHERE in the US! Victor DePaolo can be found saying hello to different tables throughout the night as he works with the staff to ensure smooth and fun times every night. Familiar, loyal and dedicated staff makes each experience positive and if you can't tell,,,, this is a favorite jaunt for us and we recommend it as a top choice to every one of our guest house visitors."
Dined on 9/22/2013
An attractive, well appointed,
lively and very popular restaurant. The wine and food menus are nicely done, and the service is excellent. Noise seems to bounce off the high ceiling, however, making conversation somewhat difficult. Despite that, we were pleased and would happily return."
Dined on 9/21/2013
FABULOUS! Best meal out I've had
in a long time. Everything is served small plate concept and designed to share. Since everyone i eating everthing we had a lot of fun talking about the food. I'd return in a heart beat!"
Dined on 9/22/2013
Every time I eat here the food is
even better then I remember. I can't say enough about the food or the service. My only complaint is the noise level. It is very hard to hear the conversation at the table because the noise is so intense and it just seems to bounce off everything."
Dined on 9/21/2013
Food was excellent and really
enjoy the atmosphere. Service was poor for the quality exhibited in the rest of the restaurant."
Dined on 9/4/2013
I've been going to Victors all
summer and ALWAYS love it there & still do! Went there mid September and the place is still hopping! Host got us a great table, waiters knowledgeable & food and drinks fabulous!!"
Dined on 9/15/2013
We really enjoyed every aspect of
this place. Each course was amazing in originality, taste and appearance and whiich were carefully assembled by someone who cares. The service was very organized and deliberately paced in that each item came to the table exactly when we were ready for it. The drinks were of the same caliber. We will be going back."
Dined on 9/16/2013
We went here with our 18 month old
daughter. Everything was perfect. The wait staff were responsive and helpful. The food could be described as tapas for two. The portions were big enough to share easily. My daughter tried and enjoyed it too... especially the calamari (both dipping sauces were yum), the sage and spinach gnocci (first time I've ever had such fresh gnocci) and the lobster ravioli (tasted like they made it from scratch). The place wasn't too loud yet was full and bustling. We also had cocktails, a White Cosmo and a Pineapple Mojito - the mint was super fresh as it is grown on-site. We had the creme brulee medley for dessert (I liked the chocolate and my wife liked the ginger). We would go back again in a heartbeat."
Dined on 9/13/2013
Overall I rated our experience
fair & here's why. Had trouble locating it, there are (2) #175s on Bradford. They are on the OTHER end, so call 1st bc if you're looking for it where you think it is, it isn't. The decor &atmosphere is nice. A bit noisey but we could hear eother bc our table (for four) was very small. just like our portions, SMALL. Our asian skirt steak couldn't have been but a 1/4 lb total we could hardly taste how good it was! Coconut shrimp was very good as was the seafood cakes (only 2) & the squash ravioli was excellent!. Our waiter said they do things differently (no entrees) and they are not kidding..don't go there if you're hungry or really like skirt steak!"
Dined on 9/15/2013
Victor's came highly recommended
by friends and they were right...it was a fabulous evening for our group! The tapas style dining just made our time even more enjoyable. Our server guided us and made sure all of the choices came out perfectly timed and with the companion dishes that heightened the flavors and textures of each plate. The best meal we've had in a very long time; one we will talk about often. Wonderful service left us wanting for nothing - great plates of delectable offerings appeared and empty plates disappeared - wine and water glasses were always full...all of this happening so seamlessly and unobtrusively that it was like magic. Victor's is a gem with a perfect menu and highly trained staff. We'll be back!"

Bikes may be rented for riding around Bedgebury Forest or bring your own, or just come to have a good walk through the lovely autumn leaves.
We have two lovely, local pubs for dinner, The Bull at Benenden or perhaps The Woodcock Inn. If you are looking for something extra special, why not make a reservation at one of the three local Michelin restaurants (we are in 'the' guide too!)
How about a leisurely guided tour around one of the best English vineyards, Chapeldown, followed by lunch at The Swan on the vineyard
You could, of course, have a relaxing stroll along the grand expanse of Camber Sands beach, followed by dining at 'The George' or 'Ambette' in Rye.
Special to do's

With marvellous views over our lakes, a stream, rolling fields and hop gardens, vineyards and fruit orchards on the other side of our valley, the heart of what Kent is all about. Virtually the only man made land mark being Sandhurst Windmill on the horizon. From our sign on the road wind your way down our long drive through the stone pillars, leaving the hubbub of life far behind (but not the comforts).
Whilst strolling around our lakes, you might catch a glimpse of our resident kingfishers, they also fish on the pond surrounding the house as do the swallows. Wild ducks, Greylags and Canada geese nest on the islands and stay all summer, rearing their ducklings and goslings until they are big and strong enough to take well instructed flying lessons descending our lawns and land on the lakes. Ocasionally, deer and badgers are spotted and much to the amusement of our Isle of Man visitors we are generously stocked with bunny rabbits, as well as a badger set.

From Openwaterpedia
noun - 1-10-1 is a simple way to remember the first three phases of cold water immersion and the approximate time each phase takes. 1-10-1 was coined by Dr. Gordon Geisbrecht to describe the three critical phases of cold water immersion.
1 - Cold Shock. An initial deep and sudden Gasp followed by hyperventilation that can be as much as 600-1000% greater than normal breathing. You must keep your airway clear or run the risk of drowning. Cold Shock will pass in about 1 minute. During that time concentrate on avoiding panic and getting control of your breathing. Wearing a life jacket during this phase is critically important to keep you afloat and breathing.
10 - Cold Incapacitation. Over approximately the next 10 minutes, you will lose the effective use of your fingers, arms and legs for any meaningful movement. Concentrate on self rescue initially, and if that isn't possible, prepare to have a way to keep your airway clear to wait for rescue. Swim failure will occur within these critical minutes and if you are in the water without a lifejacket, drowning will likely occur.
1 - Hypothermia. Even in ice water it could take approximately 1 hour before becoming unconscious due to Hypothermia. If you understand the aspects of hypothermia, techniques of how to delay it, self rescue and calling for help, your chances of survival and rescue will be dramatically increased.
