Bad. For his personal greed or need, the interviewer has cheated a good candidate and betrayed his organization.

Happens all the time. Sometimes they don't even phone you. They're tied up in a meeting or something.

Very bad. And you keep your phone free all the time waiting for thier time. Time of both the parties are precious right?

That reflects thier bad scheduling practices. In case there is an unforeseen and sudden meeting, it is at least a courtesy that they should ring you up or inform that the call is being rescheduled for a later date and time. Isn't it?

Well what I can't understand is why they couldn't postpone or get someone else whose father was not in hospital to interview me. It was extremely disappointing! And a waste of time as well!!

cheer up, hang in there and good things will come your way.
here is one explanation.... i am sure he's done tons of interviews and from his experience you were not a fit after the 1st few questions possibly, and he could not follow up with more question based on what you were answering and what he was expecting, so he cut it short and was rude.
or you just had dumb luck!!!
why didn't you take it upon yourself to reschedule the interview when you found out about his father being in the hospital and him having to leave?

How do Applications generate values for the primary keys in database tables? I know that setting the type as AutoNumber (setting Identity Specification to 'Yes' as in MS-SQL Server) will generate incremented values each time rows are inserted. Keeping in mind that deleted rows' values will never be reused the values will soon become too large for a .NET variable like 'long' to hold it after several updations. I guess this may result in exceptions. And the application to go wrong in future. How is it handled in an application like Yahoo or just this forum 'CodeProject' where the posts come in large numbers (each post requiring a unique ID) daily. Thank you.

Just how many records do you think you're going to put into a table?? You do realize that the Long type in VB.NET is a 64-bit signed value and has a max value of 9,223,372,036,854,775,807?? That's 9.2 million trillion id's...

But Dave, in case of yahoo mail/orkut all the mails/scraps will be stored in a single table(not sure). Then it would have long crossed this number even if we delete the mails the auto number wont go back, it will only keep incrementing.

Maybe. Even so, I'd be willing to bet they haven't handled that many emails, nor do they store them away like this. Remember, I said over 9,000,000,000,000,000,000 ID's. I'd be surprised if the Internet has carried that many emails in the last 10 years combined.

Yep. Then it just rolls over and starts back at 0 again. The other option is a composite key, where two or more columns cooperate the generate a unqiue key, like userId and an incremented value.

What would be the minimal size of a database that has the maximal number of records with just the id in it?
Are there enough hard disks around on earth?
(I'm to tired to calc it out  )

Urs, let the database grow to any size but will the application be able to handle the key(probably autonumber) that has grown to an enormous size?
|
|
|
|

I was just joking a bit.
I think there are only very few applications that have to deal with numbers of records that come close to the maximum number of possible keys.
A simple solution can then be that you create a composite primary key consisting of to columns of type long. Imaging the number of possible keys now.

I wonder about the storage and the data type for this number.

A 64-bit number goes a long way...

Hi..
I have the MCP certificate in developing asp.net using visual C#.In my university I studied the Java as an object oriented language only(without learning how to make business project that could be needed by a company).I have a desire to learn USB port programming and mobile programming.
May you learn me how to find trusted training centers for each of the fields I mentioned above so I can reach the second level in these fields.
I am too late but i will never give up

I don't think training centers are good, at least with respect to Chennai, India. Self-learning kits and practice alone is good.
I came across one training center who is offering AJAX, PHP as training courses. Some center like Intelliblitz in Madipakkam, Chennai does that.

Hi..
For Microsoft courses I heard that there is a way to find trusted training centers through the Microsoft website but I dont know how.
But other fields(advanced java(to build projects),USB programming) I realy dont know any idea about how to find trusted training centers for them.
I am too late but i will never give up

Hi..
Thank you for leading me for these pages which I were searching for.
About java training centers in Saudi Arabia I found this comment:
This country is served by the United Arab Emirates registration office and regional Middle East Web Site
Does this mean there is no trusted training centers for java in Saudi Arabia or something else?
you can check this in the page:
http://www.sun.com/training/world_training.html#SA[^]
Also I still don't have any idea about finding training centers for USB,COM ports programming Which are usefull for developing GPS devices and such things.Do you have any idea about it?.

And, for the last time, you won't find any! Noone offers programming classes specifically on USB or COM ports, or how to use them. This is stuff you're only going to find in books, but only in passing. You won't find books specifically on talking to USB devices or COM ports.
This is where the skill of "doing your own research" comes in handy. Non programmer can survive in this business without it.

Hi,
I've a J++ component registered in COM+. When I try to create an object of that class, I'm getting an exception "Error: 429 - ActiveX component can't create object". I refered all the relevant information available in net but nothing works for me.
I've set the classpath variable. I've all the java libraries in c:\windows\java\** folder.
Can someone help me in identifying and fixing this issue?
