db2 - SQL Constraint that one column value cannot be greater than another in a different table -

-

this isn't nice question blending business logic db structure, not decision so:

is possible define constraint infers value of 1 column (table a, column x) cannot greater value of (table b, column y) referenced via foreign key:

table_a     id (primary key)     x (int value) table_b     a_id (foreign key table_a)     y (int value)

i.e. want enforce values of y, y < l l value x table_b.a_id == table_a.id

i'm working db2.

is possible define constraint infers value of 1 column (table a, column x) cannot greater value of (table b, column y) referenced via foreign key:

no. require using select statement within check constraint, , db2 doesn't support that. if did support using select statement way, this.

alter table_b add constraint table_b_y_lt_l check (y < (select x table_a table_a.id = table_b.a_id));

the select statement return single value, because table_a.id unique. but, said, db2 doesn't support select statements in check constraints. don't think current dbms does.

workarounds

there couple of workarounds. first, write trigger. second, store column "x" in both tables, , use foreign key constraint , check constraint implement requirement.

-- since "id" unique, combination of "id" , "x" unique.  -- declaring "unique (id, x)" lets these 2 columns target of  -- foreign key reference. -- create table table_a (     id integer primary key,     x integer not null,     unique (id, x) );  -- foreign key references both columns in "table_a". check constraint -- indirectly guarantees y < table_a.x. -- create table table_b (     a_id integer not null,     a_x integer not null,     y integer not null,     primary key (a_id, a_x, y),     foreign key (a_id, a_x) references table_a (id, x),     check (y < a_x) );

this standard sql. should work in current sql dbms.

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.
