Let’s see. Graphics editors, Text editors (including color coded), Algebraic equation graphics plotters, Simple programming languages, Text processors (different from editors), Complete user interface software (DOS days), Data entry formatting, Modem/TAPI/Serial/INTP, and the list goes on. Basically all the stuff that needs to be without which the average IT programmer would not be able to do their job and then some.
Oh, and code that reads/writes and interprets databases, so that the users (programmers) do not have to do it for them self’s.
Sorry, I got carried away. Some one I met resonantly said programmers where a dime a dozen – but he did not understand.

I work on an app which gets all of its data from an XML feed. I'm sure that feed must be generated from data in a database at some point, but that detail is so far removed from what I do that it might as well come from anywhere.

It's amazing that you can find a forum thread specific to one survey but not any of the forums dealing with C#, XML or SQL Server - all of which would have been better places to post your question.

Hello sir.
You will want to use the 2 properties of the .NET#c IDE to de-serIalize the 5 class objects in the Sqlserver 2005 datasets. 3 of these datasets will have 3 more properties running in the RLC running time.
Hope this helps, and best wishers to your Nigerian Uncle and his MOST pressing banking needs.

I thought postgre sql is very widely used.
|
|
|
|
|
though postgres has more features than mysql, I think most given the option would choose mysql.
|
|
|
|
|
Probably not.
mySQL seems to be the dummys one-size-fits-all "I think I just need such a database thingy" type stuff.
That everyone uses it seems its biggest argument.
Failure is not an option - it's built right in.

We are going to use postgresql after some investigation, and postgresql seem to fit our needs perfectly

That was what I meant. We use Postgret here too.
Firebird seems to be an anlternative, but one of the Guys here has extensive PostgresQL experience.

SQLite is a good choice over Access, or maybe Firebird if you want more flexibility.

And Firebird as a standalone DBMS. Just out of curiosity I would like to know
how many of you use or have used FIrebird?
|
|
|
|

I am using firebird 2.0 embedded with the .NET wrapper and works great

I do
Embedded Firebird turned out to be a good solution to my company's needs. I developped an application that people install on notebooks and use it on remote locations to acquire data and do some calculations and reportings, using Firebird embedded database. Later, those notebooks are connected to their company's network and data is transferred to main SQLServer database for further processing.

Come on people. How is it ever going to die if you keep developing for it.
Access is a short first only when contiplating using flat files.

I found that cold turkey was the best approach : never install access again

Ah yes, but that is not always possible in the case of customers. Some people are content with stuff that works, over total reinstallation of their software, just because the totally uninteresting piece of technology that drives their app, has changed.
|

Correct. Shoot all the customers! - no wait . . . that would be bad for us  - I hate it when I can't get myself to agree with myself.

Brainwash the customers, provide a new installer with conversion script. This should get them over the SQL more easily.
I had a customer once who insisted on using Access as the backend. This way he could change the data if the application did something wrong. I had a spontanious urge to hit him on the head when I heard his plans.

I guess many people voted for Access even if they actually meant the Jet Database. I think it makes a huge difference if I'm developing for Access or if I use Jet databases.
As for me, I'm not the one who says Jet is bad in general. If you use it in the right place its a great and straightforward data storage. Sure, Jet is not designed to be accessed by many user at the same time, but so aren't .xml, .doc, .xls and whatever files. So why not using it?

I had a vote for Access because we use the Jet database, not the Access front-end, and it was the closest option I could find listed. We use them for local data stores for a distributed application that runs on 100's of user's desktops. However, we are planning on migrating away from Jet and replacing that with SQL Server Compact Edition. It's been a good tool. I have had no problems with using it simply for a data store. We are only moving away from it because Microsoft has dictated that we do.
