Hi, everyone. I've been experimenting with Cocoa and Objective-C programming on the Mac for a few months now, and I am wanting to start developing applications that manage large amounts of data. The trouble is, I'm not really sure where to start with databases. I have a good background in Java programming with SQLite. I've read a bit a...
I would like to learn working with IMS, can somebody suggest me a good source? I'm not sure if it matters to say that I have quite good exposure and experience with INSYNC DB2 and QMF. So anything that can depict and explain the advantages and disadvantages over IMS would be really helpful. Please provide me a good page where i get good ...
In our manufacturing shop, each Employee hits the time clock every time they change Jobs or Machines (work centers) during their work day. Each record created in the Time Clock app has foreign keys that link the record to: the Employee, the Job, and the Machine which they are about to operate. I’m trying to determine the best name for...
I'm looking for an object database for .NET that is open source and free for commercial use. I need something that is available as assemblies and/or source code to embed into a project, i.e. not a stand alone database in its own process. I am aware of db4o, and it would be perfect except for the commercial license coming at a price. AC...
Drupal uses db_query_range() for the reason that not all databases support LIMIT, can you name a few? ...

We have 2 server clusters: the first is made up of typical web applications backed by SQL databases. The second are highly optimized multiplayer game servers which keep all data in memory. Both clusters communicate with clients via HTTP (Ajax with JSON). There are a few cases in which we need to share data between the two server type...
I don't know the real name of that application but what i want to do is so simple, i have an oracle database with more than 50 tables. I want to get their names also their field names, so i thought that it would be nice to use a designer or something like mssql has. Then i can get the field names and table names easily. How can i do that...
A little background: I have a remote, stand alone SQL Server database that is truncated at the end of every weekend. The data is hardly relational, not normalized at all, and pretty annoying to work with. On top of that, the schema for this database cannot be modified at all, because it is recreated by a third party application. Befo...
FastObjects.NET Saves the whole class object(if marked with attribute Persistent) at once in file system(using serilization or similar technology). They are promissing that it is even faster then normal SQL DB approach. My team also thought it is better and faster to save the whole object once instead of each field one by one. Definat...
Hi guys, There is a massive database (GB) that I am working with now and all of the previous development has been done on a slicehost slice. I am trying to get ready for more developers to come in and work so I need each person to be able to setup his own machine for development, which means potentially copying this database. Selecting ...
We are currently investigating using Scimore in place of SQL Server for one of our desktop applications. The biggest reason is that installing SQL Server is a pain as part of a deployment since we cannot control the target desktop environment. This results in a ton of failed installations due to all kind of reasons. So, Scimore is what...
I have a table Car in my db, one of the columns is purchaseDate. I want to be able to tag every car with a number of Policies (limited to 10 policies). Each policy has a time to life (ttl, a duration of time, like '5 years', '10 months' etc), that is, for how long since the car's purchaseDate the policy can be applied. I need to perfor...
I have started reading some of the posts related to protocol buffers. The serialization method seems very appropriate for the transfer of data to and from web servers. Has anyone considered using a method like this to save and retrieve data on the mobile device itself? (i.e. a replacement for a traditional database / orm layer) We curre...
Is there a way to make WITH(NOLOCK) be applied on any SELECT statement run on a particular database? ...
Different databases have slight variations in their implementations of SQL. Does PDO handle this? If I write an SQL query that I use with PDO to access a MySQL database, and later tell PDO to start using a different type of database, will the query stop working? Or will PDO 'convert' the query so that it continues to work? If PDO does ...
can any one say some way to convert SQL code to data diagram like ERD ? for som DBMS like MySQL or general SQL ...
Basically I want to use uniqueidentifier in similar way as identity. I don't want to insert values into it, It should just insert values automatically, different value for each row. I'm not able to set autoincrement on columns of type uniqueidentifier(the property 'autoincrement' is set to false and is not editable). ...
As I am developing my database, I am working to ensure data integrity. So, for example, a Book should be deleted when its Author is deleted from the database (but not vice-versa), assuming one author. When I setup the foreign-key, I did set up a CASCADE, so I feel like this should happen automatically if I perform a delete from LINQ. ...
