Some Dare to Predict I’ll be honest with you; I have no clue what is coming next. I foresee a lot of growth in distributed data and processing technologies. That is a bit of a wimpy prediction based on the current velocity. Agile SDLC will continue to grow. Even though it has not been shown to produce more successful software […]

What will the future be?
What will the future be? I don’t know if I am a hoarder or a pack-rat. When it comes to tech journals, I just can’t seem to throw them away. Recently I have been going back through my piles to see what we thought the future held 10-15 years ago. It’s really interesting to see what ideas became reality and […]

More Code Lookup Options for Enumerations
More Code Lookup Options for Enumerations Following are more ideas for synchronizing Enumerations with database lookup tables. The goal is to have Enumerations usable in application code, validated at compile time, that have the same values as those of lookup tables in external data stores such as relational databases. Many have written to remind us that MySQL an other data […]

Code Lookup Options for Enumerations
SSWUG TV With Stephen Wynkoop Don’t miss IMHO with SQL Server MVP Denny Cherry. Watch the Show Code Lookup Options for Enumerations Yesterday I opened the topic of keeping Enumerations and lookup table values in synch. One technique I used in the past was making the lookup values in the tables the standard. I was using NetTiers for my DAL […]

A Love/Hate Relationship with Enums
Love/Hate Relationship with Enums Enums are used frequently to enforce a data domain and establish human readable names for codes. An Enum only exists in application software. It does not exist in a database. Often we have reference tables in the database in order to translate codes created by application Enum values into human readable text. Now we have the […]

Another Attack of Colossal Stupidity
Another Attack of Colossal Stupidity Like you, I also get the daily newsletter in my Inbox. I write and submit the editorial, and SSWUG builds everything else. I saw a link yesterday for one of the most frequent searches this past month, “SPOOL OUTPUT SQL SERVER”, and decided to click on it. Lo and behold, I come across a forum […]
