Checking if one array is a subset of another

This is more of a reminder than anything else.  A co-worker needed to figure out if one array was contained as a subset of another and of course we go back to our good 'ol friend java for this and the collections interface:

isSubset = arrayA.containsAll( arrayB )

Simple and easy!  Here are the Java API Docs just in case you want to read some more!

Installing JoliCloud VirtualBox additions

Posted by Luis Majano

This is more of a memo for me than anything else.  I just recently downloaded JoliCloud to give it a spin before I decided what OS to run on my new netbook.  I am very impressed with JoliCloud and love its look and feel.  Here are the instructions I have found in order to make VirtualBox additions work:

Jolicloud doesn't come with everything you need to build the extra kernel extensions, so you'll need to install a couple of things. First you need to mount the Guest Additions ISO (click the Devices menu, the Install Guest Additions). Once you have it mounted open up a new Terminal window and type the following:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install make linux-headers-$(uname -r)

cd /media/cdrom0

sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run

Hope this helps out

Creating a comma delimited list of column values

Posted by Luis Majano
Apr 02, 2010 00:00:00 UTC
I had a cool little SQL problem yesterday where I had a table with 2 columns: cn, email and for some reason there could be many entries for the same email address:

cn | email

1 | [email protected]

23 | [email protected]

So I needed to get a nice query where I could join all the values of the cn column into a single column for the same email. This was tricky but custom SQL functions to the rescue. This is for MSSQL but you can tweak it for MySQL very easily. So the first thing is to create a function:

CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[getValueList]

(@email varchar(500))

RETURNS varchar(500)

AS

BEGIN

DECLARE @listStr VARCHAR(500)

SELECT @listStr = COALESCE(@listStr+',' , '') + cast(cn as varchar)

FROM tempTokenMailingList

WHERE emailAddress = @email

RETURN @listStr

END

Once I did this, it will return to me a list of column values based on an incoming email on my target table. You can make this more dynamic but it basically solves my use case. Then on my selection I do this:

select distinct emailAddress, name, token,

( dbo.getValueList(emailAddress) ) CN

from tempTokenMailingList

order by emailAddress

Run that and VOILA! You get a cool way to get your cn column concatenated as a list of values.
