1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to a comprehensive stain removal kit. More particularly, it relates to a portable kit containing single use packets of various spotting agents and a stain guide directing use of the various spotting agents to effectively remove any type of known or unknown stain.
2. The Prior Art
Effective stain removal, particularly from delicate fabrics or expensive garments, has heretofore been relegated to commercial dry cleaning establishments. Stain removal is a complex art in that many different spotting agents are available to choose from depending on the nature of the stain and the material involved. The process is further complicated by the fact that improper use of the spotting agent can result in the undesirable effect of further setting the stain rather than removing it. In addition, many spotting agents have strict packaging and handling requirements, and special application methods. Finally, the difficulties of properly disposing of sizable quantities of these chemicals have limited their use to the aforementioned commercial dry cleaning establishments.
Certain attempts have been made to provide simplified cleaning products for home use. U.S. Pat. No. 2,980,941 to Miller, U.S. Pat. No. 3,686,125 to Miller and U.S. Pat. No. 3,993,190 to Schmidgall disclose various methods for delivering a cleaning solution for stain removal. While certain benefits are derived from the simplicity of providing a single cleaning agent, such compound may not be safe for all fabrics and will not be able to remove all stain types, particularly combination stains.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,238,587 to Smith et al and U.S. Pat. No. 5,547,476 to Siklosi et al propose dry cleaning chemicals for use within a residential clothes dryer. In many instances this may be as inconvenient as patronizing a commercial dry cleaning establishment. In addition, only a limited number of materials specify that they should be dry cleaned only.
Accordingly, it would be desirable to provide a comprehensive stain removal kit which can be conveniently used at any time, on any fabric, to remove any type of known or unknown stain.
It is a primary object of the present invention to provide a stain removal kit which is completely portable so that all of the elements may be readily available for use.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a collection of spotting agents within the kit which can be safely applied to all fabrics.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a kit which enables the user to remove any type of known or unknown stain and requires only elements contained in the kit.
These and other related objects are achieved according to the invention by providing a kit with several different spotting agents. Initially spotting agents were selected from the categories of wet side spotting agents and dry side spotting agents. To provide comprehensive stain removal of any type of known or unknown stain with the least number of spotting agents, it was discovered that a single dry side spotting agent and two different wet side spotting agents, namely an alkaline wet side spotting agent and an acidic wet side spotting agent, would be required. Appropriately selected webs are impregnated with the various spotting agents and sealed within clearly labeled packets. Rinse solutions are similarly packaged along with a dry web. Proper use of the various spotting agents is detailed in a stain guide having many different categories, each category including a stain type and an indication of which webs to apply and in what order. When using the kit, the stain guide is initially consulted to determine the stain type. The webs listed for that stain type are then applied, in proper order, to remove the stain.
In the accompanying drawings to which reference is made in the instant specification which is to be read in conjunction therewith and in which like reference numerals are used to indicate the parts in the various views:
FIG. 1 is a fragmentary front side elevational view of the various packets contained within the stain removal kit according to the invention.
FIG. 2 is a flow chart indicating various steps for utilizing the kit.
FIGS. 3A and 3B show the general form of a stain guide according to the invention.
FIGS. 4A and 4B show a specific preferred embodiment of the stain guide.
Referring now to FIG. 1, there is shown an acidic wet side spotting agent packet 10, an alkaline wet side spotting agent packet 20 and a dry side spotting agent packet 30. It was discovered that by using these three different spotting agents in various permutations that any type of known or unknown stain could be removed with professional results. Acidic wet side spotting agent 16 may include a tannin formula, acetic acid, oxalic acid or hydrofluoric acid. Alkaline wet side spotting agent 26 may include ammonia. Dry side spotting agent 36 may include volatile dry solvent, amyl acetate (banana oil) or oily type paint removers. These spotting agents are commercially available in proper dilutions and with appropriate additives suitable for direct contact with fabrics.
Spotting agents 16, 26 and 36 are impregnated into absorbent webs 14, 24 and 34, respectively. Since these spotting agents are typically applied in liquid form, it was important to select a web which would avoid chemical interaction with the spotting agents and simultaneously serve as a cleaning tool. The material selected is a non-woven, embossed applicator having a 3 to 1 rayon/polypropylene blend and is available under the trade name NOVONETTE sold by Veratec. The embossing on the applicator provides a textured surface which enhances mechanical cleaning action while providing recesses which hold dirt particles away from the fabric surface being cleaned. The same web material is used in all of the packets. Other synthetic blends or treated natural fibers could also be used.
The packets themselves are created from laminates 12, 22 and 32, which are cut into paired blanks and heat sealed along their peripheries. Any suitable vapor-impervious laminate may be used which avoids chemical interaction with the spotting agents. Laminates 12 and 22 contain an outer paper layer, an intermediate foil layer and an inner modified polyethylene ionomer layer which is heat-sealable. The same laminate is represented by reference numerals 42, 52 and 62. However, it was discovered that the dry side spotting agent 36 requires an additional layer of polyester between the inner heat seal layer and the foil layer, to protect the foil layer.
Rinse packet 40 and rinse packet 50 contain webs impregnated with distilled water. Dry packet 60 contains a dry web 64. Packet 10 and packet 40 are both labeled to indicate that web 44 should always be used immediately following web 14. Packet 20 and packet 50 are both labeled to indicate that web 54 should be used immediately after web 24. Packets 40, 50 and 60 are all labeled to indicate that after the final rinse with web 44 or 54, dry web 64 should be employed.
Referring now to FIG. 2, use of the kit begins with attempting to identify the stain and consulting the stain guide. If the stain type is unknown, permutation 1 indicates use of packets 30, 10, 40, 20, 50 and 60, in that order. For certain wet side stains, permutation 2 indicates packets 20, 50, 10, 40 and 60. For a particular combination stain permutation 3 indicates packets 30, 20, 50 and 60. Many other stain types and permutations are provided as can be seen in FIGS. 3A, 3B, and 4A, 4B. FIG. 3A schematically illustrates a general form for side one of the stain guide containing the first three categories which only call for a single spotting agent. As indicated earlier, packets 10 and 20 direct the immediate subsequent use of packets 40 and 50 which then indicate the use of packet 60. Packet 30 may be used alone.
FIG. 3B schematically illustrates a general form for side 2 of the stain guide. These categories comprise combination stains which are removable by two or more recommended spotting agents only. The classifications of two spotting agents may contain up to six categories. However, only five are recommended with the F1, F3 combination being omitted. The classifications of three spotting agents may contain up to six different categories. However, only three are recommended with the F1, F3, F2 combination, the F2, F3, F1 combination and the F2, F1, F3 combination being omitted. For the combination stains, the stain guide contains detailed indications of all the packets that are required and in what order they should be applied.
The formulas listed in FIG. 4A (and FIG. 4B) correlate with the packets of FIG. 1 as detailed in the following Table
TABLE 1______________________________________Formula-to Packet Correlation Packet ReferenceFIG. 4A Formula Numeral in FIG. 1______________________________________Special Formula 1 - F1 10Special Formula 2 - F2 20Special Formula 3 - F3 30Rinse Formula 1 - R1 40Rinse Formula 2 - R2 50Dry Formula 1 - D1 60______________________________________
Packet labelling F1, F2, F3, R1, R2 and D1 renders use of the kit as easy as cleaning by numbers. For example, in FIG. 4B the permutation for avocado is indicated as F1 (10), R1 (40), F2 (20), R2 (50) and D1 (60). The unknown stain, as indicated earlier, indicates the permutation F3, F1, R1, F2, R2, D1. The user simply lines up the packets and sequentially opens a packet and rubs the stain with the web, until all specified packets have been used, to professionally remove any type of stain.
Through careful classification, a self-contained kit with three different spotting agents has been provided which meets the objects of the invention. The total six packets and stain guide are packaged together to be completely portable and carried in a car, jacket pocket, or purse, stored at home or in the office, or provided by a restaurant, hotel, store or other establishment. Comprehensive stain cleaning has been achieved, i.e. for any material and containing any known or unknown stains, with professional results.
It will be understood that certain features and subcombinations are of utility and may be employed without reference to other features and subcombinations. This is contemplated by and is within the scope of my claims. It is further obvious that various changes may be made in details within the scope of my claims without departing from the spirit of my invention. It is, therefore, to be understood that my invention is not to be limited to the specific details shown and described.

BJP to snap last link with Vaghela
Top Stories
State BJP's original home at Khadia, where it was born as the Bharatiya Jana Sangh (BJS), still has strings attached to Shankersinh Vaghela the man leading the Congress campaign in the 2012 Assembly elections against the BJP. Vaghela, apparently, continues to be a trustee in the Vasant Gajendragadkar Smarak Trust earlier run from a building in the Khadia area.
He also remained a trustee in the Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay Trust, which runs the BJP headquarters at Khanpur, long after he joined the Congress.
"Why Deendayal Bhavan, even the Jan Sangh office is in my name. I told them (BJP) to send me whatever papers remain to be transferred, even in the Deendayal Bhavan case, and I will sign them," Vaghela told The Indian Express on Wednesday.
The BJP is currently building a swanky new multi-storied office at Koba, Gandhinagar, where it eventually plans to move. These issues surfaced when the transfer plans were being discussed.
Vaghela recalls how he began as a BJS worker to find a place at Khadia with his Sangh mentor Vasant Gajendragadkar. They operated from a small room belonging to a newspaper owner, in Golwad area of Khadia. "Only yesterday they (BJP) came to get the trusteeship (of Khadia) transferred from my name," said Vaghela, who also founded the BJP headquarters at Khanpur in 1984, when Jan Sangh was disbanded.
"This office has been very lucky for the BJP," said Vaghela, who recalled buying it as a ground floor apartment from a Parsi when he was the state unit president of the BJP. He remembers how he often dined with Muslims since Khanpur is a minority dominated area. "The kitchen of the house had a blue coloured stone embedded in the walls. The Parsi owner told me never to remove that holy stone whatever happens, because it would bring luck." He then bought the building adjoining it, and expanded.

- Make a copy of the vmdk file on the OS. Just in case anything happens! (always have a backup)
- Clone the vmdk disk file into vdi format. To do this you need to use the VBoxManage command/app to clone the file into a vdi formatted file. For example this is what I ran.
VBoxManage clonehd "Win7-220.127.116.11-ORE-03-Jan-14-disk1.vmdk" "cloned.vdi" --format vdi
- There was some suggestions that you could then clone the vdi file back into vmdk format. This did not work for me. It kept on giving me errors when the cloning process was nearly finished. After a bit of time researching this I wasn't able to find a solution to fix this. Instead I did the following
- Replace the vodka disk/file with the vdi disk/file in my VirtualBox VM. Open VirtualBox, select the VM and then click on the Storage section. In this I was able to add the new vdi disk/file and then removed the old vodka disk/file.
- Start up the VM. The VM starts up as normal and everything works OK.
- To allocate and make the extract space useable you need to allocated the new space to the c:\ drive. To do this I did the following:
- Click on Start Button, then right click on Computer and select Manage from the drop down menu.
- In the Computer Management console select Disk Management. A screen something like the following appears shows the amount of allocated and unallocated disk.
- Right click on the area for the c:\ drive and select Extend Volume from the drop down menu.
- Select all the defaults are you go through the Wizard to Extend the Volume. When you are finished the c:\ drive will be extended with all the extra space, as shown below.
- All done. You now have a larger disk/drive for your Windows VM.

Blogger vs WordPress Evaluation
Over time it has developed into some more that that and it now covers a number of technical how-to type of articles and some of my Oracle User Group (and ACE Director) activities.
It all started out on Blogger that is provided by Google. I've found Blogger really easy to use and to configure into getting something that is semi professional looking (at least it does to me).
All of this happened before WordPress really got going. I've had a look at WordPress from time to time over the years but never really invested enough time into it. Despite, what feels like everyone, saying that WordPress was the bees knees.
About 6 weeks ago I decided to put some solid time into investigating WordPress (about time some of you might say). The challenge for me was how easy would it be to replicate what I had on my blogger hosted website onto WordPress. I have to say it was easy enough.
Now I have 2 blogs / website running in parallel. Currently my blog/website is hosted on Blogger can it can be accessed via my custom domain of www.oralytics.com. The WordPress blog/website can be accessed at oralytics.wordpress.com
As you will see they are very similar to each other. Yes there are some cosmetic differences but all the content is the same.
What I'm going to do is to run these two environments in parallel for the next (maybe) 6 to 8 weeks. At some point I will switch over my domain name (www.oralytics.com) to point at the WordPress site. And then I might switch it back.
The big question for me to answer is to which one of these 2 environments will become my main site.
Blogger is FREE.
WordPress is FREE, well it is if I use the WordPress.com site.
But if I use the WordPress.com site then I get this annoying banner at the bottom of the browser window that does some advertising for WordPress and the Theme that I'm using.
The alternative to this where I do not get any of these adverts appearing is to pay for Hosting and to pay for a theme. Over a 3 year period that comes out at about $300+. The cheapest WordPress hosting that I could find, at the moment, is with GoDaddy.
What do you think I should do?
1. Stay with what I have on Blogger (www.oralytics.com) (Free)
2. Switch to the Free WordPress.com option (oralytics.wordpress.com) (Free)
3. Buy WordPress hosting and pay for a theme. (Costs $)
When I put out my original enquiry a few weeks ago lots of people came back with really good advice. In particular I wanted to mention Jeff Smyth, Tim Hall and Martin Widlake for the advice, help and suggestions, which I think lots of others found very useful.

PMML in Oracle Data Mining
PMML (Predictive Model Markup Langauge) is an XML formatted output that defines the core elements and settings for your Predictive Models. This XML formatted output can be used to migrate your models from one data mining or predictive modelling tool to another data mining or predictive modelling tool, such as Oracle.
Using PMML to migrate your models from one tool to another allows for you to use the most appropriate tools for developing your models and then allows them to be imported into another tool that will be used for deploying your predictive models in batch or real-time mode. In particular the ability to use your Predictive Model within your everyday applications enables you to work in the area of Automatic or Prescriptive Analytics. Oracle Data Mining and the Oracle Database are ideal or even the best possible tools to allow for Automatic and Prescriptive Analytics for your transa
PMML is an XML based standard specified by the Data Mining Group
Oracle Data Mining supports the importing of PMML models that are compliant with version 3.1 of the standard and for Regression Models only. The regression models can be for linear regression or binary logistic regression.
The Data Mining Group Archive webpage have a number of sample PMML files for you to download and then to load into your Oracle database.
To Load the PMML file into your Oracle Database you can use the DBMS_DATA_MINING.IMPORT_MODEL function. I've given examples of how you can use this function to import an Oracle Data Mining model that was exported using the EXPORT_MODEL function.
The syntax of the IMPORT_MODEL function when importing a PMML file is the following
DBMS_DATA_MINING.IMPORT_MODEL ( model_name IN VARCHAR2, pmmldoc IN XMLTYPE strict_check IN BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE);
The following example shows how you can load the version 3.1 Logistic Regression PMML file from the Data Mining Group archive webpage
BEGIN dbms_data_mining.IMPORT_MODEL ('PMML_MODEL', XMLType (bfilename ('IMPORT_DIR', 'sas_3.1_iris_logistic_reg.xml'), nls_charset_id ('AL32UTF8') )); END;
This example uses the default value for STRICT_CHECK as FALASE. In this case if there are any errors in the PMML structure then these will be ignored and the imported model may contain "features" that may make it perform in a slightly odd manner.

R (ROracle) and Oracle DATE formats
One of these is the DATE datatype.
The main issue that you have to look for is the TIMEZONE conversion that happens then you extract the data from the database into your R environment.
There is a datatype conversions from the Oracle DATE into the POSIXct format. The POSIXct datatype also includes the timezone. But the Oracle DATE datatype does not have a Timezone part of it.
When you look into this a bit more you will see that the main issue is what Timezone your R session has. By default your R session will inherit the OS session timezone. For me here in Ireland we have the time timezone as the UK. You would time that the timezone would therefore be GMT. But this is not the case. What we have for timezone is BST (or British Standard Time) and this takes into account the day light savings time. So on the 26th May, BST is one hour ahead of GMT.
OK. Let's have a look at a sample scenario.
The Problem
As mentioned above, when I select date of type DATE from Oracle into R, using ROracle, I end up getting a different date value than what was in the database. Similarly when I process and store the data.
The following outlines the data setup and some of the R code that was used to generate the issue/problem.
Data Set-up
Create a table that contains a DATE field and insert some records.
insert into staff values (123456789, 'Brendan', 'Tierney', to_date('01/06/1975', 'DD/MM/YYYY'), 'DEPT_1');
insert into staff values (234567890, 'Sean', 'Reilly', to_date('21/10/1980', 'DD/MM/YYYY'), 'DEPT_2');
insert into staff values (345678901, 'John', 'Smith', to_date('12/03/1973', 'DD/MM/YYYY'), 'DEPT_3');
insert into staff values (456789012, 'Barry', 'Connolly', to_date('25/01/1970', 'DD/MM/YYYY'), 'DEPT_4');
You can query this data in SQL without any problems. As you can see there is no timezone element to these dates.
Selecting the data
I now establish my connection to my schema in my 12c database using ROracle. I won't bore you with the details here of how to do it but check out point 3 on this post for some details.
When I select the data I get the following.
> res<-dbsendquery br="" con="" from="" select="" staff="">> data <- br="" fetch="" res="">> data$DOB->-dbsendquery>
As you can see two things have happened to my date data when it has been extracted from Oracle. Firstly it has assigned a timezone to the data, even though there was no timezone part of the original data. Secondly it has performed some sort of timezone conversion to from GMT to BST. The difference between GMT and BTS is the day light savings time. Hence the 01:00:00 being added to the time element that was extract. This time should have been 00:00:00. You can see we have a mixture of times!
So there appears to be some difference between the R date or timezone to what is being used in Oracle.
To add to this problem I was playing around with some dates and different records. I kept on getting this scenario but I also got the following, where we have a mixture of GMT and BST times and timezones. I'm not sure why we would get this mixture.
> data$DOB
This is all a bit confusing and annoying. So let us look at how you can now fix this.
The Solution
Fixing the problem : Setting Session variablesWhat you have to do to fix this and to ensure that there is consistency between that is in Oracle and what is read out and converted into R (POSIXct) format, you need to define two R session variables. These session variables are used to ensure the consistency in the date and time conversions.
These session variables are TZ for the R session timezone setting and Oracle ORA_SDTZ setting for specifying the timezone to be used for your Oracle connections.
The trick there is that these session variables need to be set before you create your ROracle connection. The following is the R code to set these session variables.
> Sys.setenv(TZ = "GMT")
> Sys.setenv(ORA_SDTZ = "GMT")
So you really need to have some knowledge of what kind of Dates you are working with in the database and if a timezone if part of it or is important. Alternatively you could set the above variables to UDT.
Selecting the data (correctly this time)
Now when we select our data from our table in our schema we now get the following, after reconnecting or creating a new connection to your Oracle schema.
> data$DOB
Now you can see we do not have any time element to the dates and this is correct in this example. So all is good.
We can now update the data and do whatever processing we want with the data in our R script.
But what happens when we save the data back to our Oracle schema. In the following R code we will add 2 days to the DOB attribute and then create a new table in our schema to save the updated data.
> data$DOB
> data$DOB <- br="" data="" days="">> data$DOB->
> dbWriteTable(con, "STAFF_2", data, overwrite = TRUE, row.names = FALSE)
I've used the R package Libridate to do the date and time processing.
When we look at this newly created table in our Oracle schema we will see that we don't have DATA datatype for DOB, but instead it is created using a TIMESTAMP data type.
If you are working with TIMESTAMP etc type of data types (i.e. data types that have a timezone element that is part of it) then that is a slightly different problem. Perhaps one that I'll look at soonish.

Extracting Oracle data & Generating JSON data file using ROracle
Alternatives to using ROracle would be RODBC, RJDBC and DBI. So you could use one of these to connect to the database.
In this post I want to show you how to extract data from an Oracle table (or view) and to output it to a file in JSON format. Again I will be using the jsonlite R package to perform all the JSON formatting work for me.
1. Connect to the Database
This is the same connect setup that I used in the previous post.
# initialise the packages
> library(ROracle)
> library(jsonlite)
# Create the connection string
> drv <- dbdriver="" p="" racle="">
> host <- localhost="" p="">
> port <- 1521="" p="">
> service <- p="" pdb12c="">
> connect.string <- p="" paste="">
"(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=", host, ")(PORT=", port, "))",
"(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=", service, ")))", sep = "")
# establish the connection
> con <- dbconnect="" dbname="connect.string)" drv="" p="" password="dmuser" username="dmuser">
2. Read the data from the table/view
Read the data from the table into a R data frame.
> rs <- con="" dbsendquery="" from="" mining_data_build_v="" p="" select=""> ->
> data <- fetch="" p="" rs=""> ->
> dim(data)
[1] 1500 18
> head(data, 3)

2 1 1 0 1
3 1 0 0 1
1 1 0 0
2 1 1 0
3 1 1 0
We now have the data from the table in a data frame called data. We can now use this data frame to covert the data into JSON.
3. Convert into JSON format
To produced the JSON formatted output of the data in our table (or view) we can use the toJSON function that produces the outputted JSON data in an R String.
> jsonData <- data="" p="" tojson=""> ->
> jsonData
4. Create the JSON file
We are now ready to output the formatted JSON data out to file. We can use the R function 'write' to write the JSON data out to a file.
> write(jsonData, file="c:/app/demo_json_data2.json")
Job Done!
5. Verify the JSON data was created correctly
To verify that JSON data file was created correctly, we can use the steps outlined in my previous post to read in the file. If all the correct then we should get no errors.
> jsonFile <- app="" c:="" demo_json_data2.json="" p=""> ->
> jsonData <- fromjson="" jsonfile="" p=""> ->
> str(jsonData)
> names(jsonData)
> nrow(jsonData)
You will notice that there is one difference between the code shown above and what I showed in my previous example/blog post. This time we don't have an extra wrapper class of Items.
Generating JSON data - Using SQL Developer
In my previous post I showed you one way of generating a JSON file based on the data in a table. You could do that using SQL Developer and SQLcl.
An alternative is to use the Table Export feature to export the data in JSON format.
To do this right click on the table (or view) and select Export from the drop down menu.
The Export Wizard will open. De-select the Export DDL tick box. In the export data section change the format drop-down to JSON. Then enter the location and file name for the JSON file. Then click the next buttons until you are finished.

Loading JSON data into Oracle using ROracle and jsonlite
In this post I want to show you one way of taking a JSON file of data and loading it into your Oracle schema using ROracle. The JSON data will then be used to create a table in your schema. Yes you could use other methods to connect to the database and to create the table. But ROracle is by far the fastest method of connecting, selecting and processing data.
1. Necessary R Packages
You will need two R library. The first of these is the ROracle package. This gives us all the connection and data processing commands to work with the Oracle database. The second package is the jsonlite R package. This package allows us to open, read and process a file that has JSON data.
> install.package("ROracle")
> install.package("jsonlite")
After you have installed the packages you can now load them into your R environment so that you can use them in your current session.
> library(ROracle)
> library(jsonlite)
Depending on your version of R you may get some working messages about the libraries being built under a different version of R. Then again maybe you won't get these :-)
2. Open & Read the JSON file in RNow you are ready to name and open the file that contains your JSON data. In my case the file is called 'demo_json_data.json'
> jsonFile <- "c:/app/demo_json_data.json"
> jsonData <- fromJSON(jsonFile)
We now have the JSON data loaded into R. We can now look at the attributes of each JSON record and the number of records that was in the JSON file.> names(jsonData$items)
[1] "cust_id" "cust_gender" "age"
[4] "cust_marital_status" "country_name" "cust_income_level"
[7] "education" "occupation" "household_size"
[10] "yrs_residence" "affinity_card" "bulk_pack_diskettes"
[13] "flat_panel_monitor" "home_theater_package" "bookkeeping_application"
[16] "printer_supplies" "y_box_games" "os_doc_set_kanji"
> nrow(jsonData$items)
[1] 1500
As you can see the records are grouped under a higher label of 'items'. You might want to extract these records into a new data frame.
> data <- jsonData$items>
Now we have our data ready in a data frame and we can use this data frame to create a table and insert the data.
3. Create the connection to the Oracle Schema
I have a previous post on connecting to an Oracle Schema using ROracle. That was connecting to an 11g Oracle Database.
JSON is a new feature in Oracle 12c and the connection details are a little bit different because we are now having to deal with connection to a pluggable database. The following illustrates connecting to a 12c database and assumes you have Oracle Client already installed and configured with your tnsnames.ora entry.
# Create the connection string
> host <- "localhost"
> port <- 1521
> service <- "pdb12c"
> connect.string <- paste(
"(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=", host, ")(PORT=", port, "))",
"(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=", service, ")))", sep = "")
> con2 <- dbConnect(drv, username = "dmuser", password = "dmuser",dbname=connect.string)>
4. Create the table in your Oracle Schema
At this point we have our connection to our Oracle Schema setup and connected, we have read in the JSON file and we have the JSON data in a data frame. We are now ready to push the JSON data to a table in our schema.> dbWriteTable(con, "JSON_DATA", overwrite=TRUE, value=data)
Job done :-)
The table JSON_DATA has been created and the data is stored in the table in typical table attributes and rows format.
One thing to watch our for with the above command is with the overwrite=TRUE parameter setting. This replaces a table if it already exists. So your old data will be gone. Be careful.
5. View and Query the data using SQL
When you now log into your schema in the 12c Database, you can now query the data in the JSON_DATA table. (Yes I know it is not in JSON format in this table).
How did I get/generate my JSON data?
I generated the JSON file using a table that I already had in one of my schemas. This table is part of the sample data set that is built on top of the Oracle sample schemas.
The image below shows the steps involved in generating the data in JSON format. I used SQL Developer and set the SQLFORMAT to be JSON. I then ran the query to select the data. You will need to run this as a script. Then copy the JSON data and paste it into a file.
The SQL FORMAT command sets the output format for a query back to the default query output format that we are well use to.
A nice little JSON viewer can be found at http://jsonviewer.stack.hu/
Copy and paste your JSON data into this and you can view the structure of the data. Check it out.

- Create Table can now create data in JSON
- JSON Query Node allows you to view, query and process JSON data, combine it with relational data, generate sub-group by, and nested columns to be part of input to algorithms
- New PL/SQL APIs for managing Data Miner projects and workflows. This includes run, cancel, rename, delete, import and export of workflows using PL/SQL.
- New ODMr Repository views that allows us to query and monitor our workflows.
- Transformation Node now allows you different ways of handling NULLS.
- Transformation Node now allows us to create Custom Bins, define bin labels and bin values
- Overall Workflow and ODMr environment improvements to allow for greater efficiency in workflow behaviour and interactions with the database. So using ODMr should feel quicker and more responsive.
What out for the Gotchas: Although support for JSON has been added to ODMr, as outlined above, you are still a bit limited to what else you can do with your JSON data. Based on the documentation you can use JSON data in the Association and Classification build nodes.
I'm not sure about the other nodes and this will need a bit of investigation to see what nodes can and cannot use JSON data. I'm sure this will all be sorted out in the next release.
Keep an eye out for some blog posts over the coming weeks on how to explore and use these new features of Oracle Data Miner.
SQL Developer 4.1 : ODM Repository upgrade
Earlier today (4th May) SQL Developer 4.1 was released :-)
For those of you who use the Oracle Data Miner tool (that is part of SQL Developer) you will need to upgrade your repository. The following steps will walk you through the process.
1. Download SQL Developer (you do need to have Java 8 installed) This download does not come with the JRE built into it. This usually comes a few days after the release.
2. Unzip the downloaded file and copy the extracted directory to where you like to keep your applications etc.
3. Start up SQL Developer by running the sqldeveloper.exe file. This will located in the extracted folder \sqldeveloper-188.8.131.52.07-no-jre\sqldeveloper
4. If you have been a previous install of SQL Developer you will be asked if you want to migrate your current settings. Click on the Yes button and all your connections and settings will be migrated.
5. To upgrade your Oracle Data Miner (ODMr) repository, you will need to open one of your ODMr connections. When you do this ODMr will check to see if the repository in your database needs to be updated. If it does you will get the following window.
6. Enter the password for SYS
6. When you get the following window you can click on the Start button to begin the Oracle Data Miner repository upgrade.
7. After a couple of minutes (and depending on the number of ODM Workflows and ODM schemas to have) you will get the following window.
Congratulations. You have now upgraded your Oracle Data Miner repository.
If you do encounter any errors during the upgrade of the repository then you should get onto the OTN Forum for Oracle Data Miner and report the errors. The Oracle Data Miner team monitor this forum and will get back to you quickly with a response.

Turning down the always on aspects of Life
There was has been various on going discussions about the every growing "always on" or "always available" aspect of modern life.
Most of us do something like the follow each day:
- check email, twitter, Facebook, etc before getting out of bed
- checking emails and responding to emails and various social media before you before you leave the house
- spending a long day in the office or moving between multiple clients
- spending your lunch time on email and social media
- go home after a long day and open the laptop/tablet etc to answer more emails.
- final check of emails and social media before you go to sleep
Can you remember the last time when you finished work for the day and went home you were actually finish work for the day?
A couple of years ago I did a bit of an experiment that I called 'Anti Social Wednesdays'
That experiment was actually very successful but after a few months I did end up going back online. But the amount of work I achieved was huge and during some of that time I started to write my first book.
I'm not going to start out on a new experiment. I'm going to turn off/delete all work related email accounts from my Phone, tablet etc. I'll leave it on my work laptops (obviously)
What this means is that when I want to look up something on the internet or use an app on my phone, I'm no longer going to be tempted into checking emails and doing one of those quick replies.
So now I won't be getting any of those "annoying" emails just before you go to sleep, or when you are on a day out with the family, etc.
If something is really really important that you need a response really quickly then you can phone me. Otherwise you are going to have to way until I open my laptop to find your email.
Anyone one else interested in joining in on this little experiment? Let me now.

Fall 2014
I hope everyone is well and you had a nice end to the summer. It seems strange not heading back to Carroll for the first time in four years, but I hope this column will keep us connected as we begin a new chapter of our lives.
Our class has been busy in the short five months since commencement. I have good news to report about the condition of Maggie Fay, who ended up in the emergency room hours after the commencement ceremony. What she initially thought was a stomachache turned out to be appendicitis. Doctors removed her appendix the day after graduation, but she recovered and is doing well. Maggie, who's pursuing a nursing degree, takes classes at Lorain County Community College and plans to enroll at Ursuline College in May with hopes of earning her BSN in 15 months.
Jackie Mitchell, former campus editor of The Carroll News, joined the Cleveland Jewish News staff as a reporter. Jackie, who earned her degree in communications, wrote for John Carroll and Paragould Premiere magazines.
Bobbie Blakeslee accepted an administrative position in the Mentor Public School District. Bobbie, who earned her M.Ed. in early childhood education, works as the district's coordinator of childcare programs.
Service and career opportunities have brought several of our classmates to various locations throughout the country. Alexis Park, who's doing a year of service in Erie, Pa., volunteers through the Mercy Volunteer Corps, where she works as a children's advocate for a domestic violence shelter.
Two recent grads headed out to the West Coast. Steve Epprecht accepted a position at Safeway's corporate headquarters in San Francisco as a category analyst in the dairy department. Friend and classmate Jack Walton quickly took advantage of the opportunity and visited Steve for a week. They explored some of the sites the city and surrounding areas have to offer, including Fisherman's Wharf, Big Sur, Pebble Beach, and Santa Cruz. Lauren DeLuca also moved out West. She's a financial analyst for Allstate in Sacramento, Calif., where she works in the controller's department forecasting and planning small lines of insurance. Lauren also has traveled throughout California and the surrounding states, road-tripping to Salt Lake City, Yosemite National Park, Reno, and Lake Tahoe.
John Brady and Ty McTigue celebrated their four years of hard work by taking a month-long trip to Europe 10 days after graduation. They traveled to Ireland, Hungary, Switzerland, Germany, and Belgium. While in Belgium, they stayed with classmate Stephen Baznik, who lives in Brussels. Then John met up with Kelly Lackey, and Ty met up with Chelsea Gerken, and they went their separate ways, visiting England, the Netherlands, and Italy. In Rome, Ty and Chelsea met up with fellow grads Danny Potter and Chelsie Long. What a memorable experience to cap off their time at Carroll!
Danny Gonzalez was also busy traveling, as he completed the 2014 study tour of Japan. He works at thunder::tech, which is an integrated marketing company in Cleveland. He has a position on the company's tech support team.
I'm excited to hear all your stories and share them with the rest of our class. Please contact me with any news so I can include it in the winter edition.

Summer 2014
Hello, recent alumni of 2014. It's still surreal we're college graduates and commencement was just months ago. It was the perfect day, and we were so lucky this memorable event was held on campus. I hope the first summer of postgrad life has been treating everyone well. Many of us have been accepted to grad school, committed to a year or more of service, or have landed our first real job – all of which have taken us to places throughout the world. I started my job in Cleveland at NCS, working as a legal assistant in the construction services group. It's a unique industry, and I've learned quite a bit in just a few months. I also returned from vacation to New Orleans and several cities in Texas and now can say I've been to 48 of the 50 states. I'd love to hear about the adventures you've taken. Contact me so I can share your news in the next column. I look forward to hearing from you.
