sql - duplicate issue when inserint value to varbinary -

-

we face weird issue.

we have 1 table in our mssql 2008 r2 db when table column follow:

  1. userid - int
  2. username - varbinary(256)
  3. usertype - int

and username column unique

we preform following query again table:

insert table_name (userid, username, usertype) values ( 1 ,  0x5942c803664b00, 0)

and after query following query :

insert table_name (userid, username, usertype) values ( 2 ,  0x5942c803664b, 0)

and following error:

cannot insert duplicate key row in object 'table_name ' unique index 'table_name _username_u'.

although 0x5942c803664b , 0x5942c803664b00 different values??

any idea ?

the trailing "zero-bytes" 0x00 in varbinary column insignificant trailing spaces " " in varchar column. therefore, values duplicates.

in other words, 2 values (in byte order)

1  2  3  4  5  6  7  --- bytes in binary value 59 42 c8 03 66 4b 59 42 c8 03 66 4b 00

the last byte (8 bits of 0) considered insignificant purposes of comparison. same reason why get

select case when 'abc ' = 'abc' 'same' else 'different' end -- select case when 0x5942c803664b = 0x5942c803664b00 'same' else 'different' end  result ====== same

to make trailing zero-bytes significant, can cheat , add equally both parts.

select case when 0x5942c803664b + 0xff = 0x5942c803664b00 + 0xff             'same'             else 'different' end   -- different  select case when 0x5942c80366aa + 0xff = 0x5942c80366aa + 0xff             'same'             else 'different' end   -- same

How to calculate SNR of signals in MATLAB? -

-
i've encountered simple, yet fundamental problem on calculating snr: there several signals : s1 = original , pure clean signal without noise. n1 = white gaussian noise going added s1. s2 = s1 + n1 (the noisy signal before performing noise-reduction algorithm) s3 = noise-reduced signal (after performing noise reduction algorithm) n2 = s3 - s1 (the amount of noise after performing noise-reduction algorithm) now want compare snr before , after performing noise-reduction algorithm. which signals should consider snr_before!? s1/n1 or s2/n1 ? which signals should consider snr_after!? s3/n1 or s3/n2 ? which commands or functions should use in matlab in order compute snr_before , snr_after? thanks billion putting time on helping me. what know calculating snr before : snrbeforenoise = mean( signal .^ 2 ) / mean( noise .^ 2 ); and snr after : residual_noise = signal - noise_reduced_signal; snr_after = mean( signal .^ 2 ) / mean( residual_noise .^ 2...

i need place custom knob image shadow uislider. far have image of 38x38, of there region defines shadow of knob. now while using image, when slide knob extreme ends actual knob not able cover end points, hence end points visible under transparent region of knob image this code using customize uislider uiimage *slidebtimg = [uiimage imagenamed:sliderknobimg]; [self.ratingslider setthumbimage:slidebtimg forstate:uicontrolstatenormal]; [self.ratingslider setthumbimage:slidebtimg forstate:uicontrolstatehighlighted]; how can implement custom knob shadow beneath it, covering end points?? look inside uislider.h , there methods let customize slider knob , track needed.
