MyBatis Dynamic Table Name

There may be times when you need to dynamically specify the name of the table you're accessing. In my case I have a few look-up tables with the same structure. I did it like this:

<select id="getKeyValue" resultMap="KeyValueMap" parameterType="java.lang.String">
    select ID, Value from ${value}
</select>

The only parameter is the name of the table. You can see  another nice example at Dynamic MyBatis.

I was having a problem importing an Excel spreadsheet into SQL Server that I just couldn't figure out.

After many attempts I decided to try importing into MS Access. It worked and it showed me where the errors are!

After fixing the errors I imported the Access table into SQL Server.

SharePoint 2010 - Mapping missing LDAP atrributes

Ran into a problem when I was adding user properties for the user profile in SharePoint 2010. Followed the instructions found at http://trayontheweb.com/2011/07/20/missing-ldap-attributes-when-adding-a-new-property-to-the-user-profile-service-in-sharepoint-2010/ and I was able to add a property for the missing attribute. Had to run SharePoint PowerShell with SP_Farm credentials. Ran synchronization and the field was populated.
