I've looked at drag and drop with outlook, but there is a problem. Outlook caches all the email locally to a pst file before pushing to Excha...
So basically, I developed this ASP.Net MVC application on a Windows 7 box with Visual Studio 2008. It works well on the local machine, and I was able to host it in IIS no worries. I then decided to upload it onto subversion, and fetch it on a different Windows Server 2008 machine. I downloaded it, had the IIS document root point to my ap...
I've been given the task of content migration from another CMS system to SharePoint 2010. The data in the old system is fairly easy to capture and the page hierarchy is simple so I'm not worried about that. However, I am completely flummoxed about how to even create a page in code. I'm using the Microsoft.SharePoint.Client namespace a...
I have a project that uses the wxwidget toolkit (wxThread, wxString, wxEvent, wxDateTime, wxLog etc). I am in the process of moving over to QT. I am a little daunted by the task, and thought its best to come in here to ask those that may have carried out such an operation before. Do I: take a more measured approach (replace one clas...

In Rails, migrations have a down method by default for reverting a migration. In what scenario would I ever want to revert a migration, though? Some thoughts: Whether in development or production, I always have a snapshot of my database to go back to, before I even run the migrations. Especially for migrations which perform data conver...
I've got way too much information to work with, so for now I'll consider this question answered until I can sort it all out and decide on the final implementation! Thanks a ton gf and Simon Buchan. I wish I could accept both of your answers, since they're both definite possibilities! Additional / Revised Conceptual Information as sugges...
Hello all, I'm a bit lost, one of my developer co-worker is doing a drupal website, that is doing special pages, custom logos, custom hierarchy etc. His work is scattered in database tables (it looks like CCK create tables), database rows (texts, image links etc.), static files (pictures, PDFs ...) and maybe some PHP (custom module). M...
Hello all, For a bit of background - this question deals with a project running on a single small EC2 instance, and is about to migrate to a medium one. The main components are Django, MySQL and a large number of custom analysis tools written in python and java, which do the heavy lifting. The same machine is running Apache as well. Th...
I'm using Migrator.NET to write database migrations for the application. Marc-André Cournoyer wrote: Like any code in your application you must test your migrations. Ups and downs code. Do it part of your continuous build process and test it on as many different databases and environment as you can. How do I do that? Say I ...

I have been tasked with converting a SQL Server database into a MySQL 5.* database. I feel well-read up about converting between datatypes. However, I read that MySQL does ANSI, not T-SQL, and doesn't support cursors. My question is, what am I supposed to do with all of my SQL Server functions and sprocs (some of which use cursors) ? ...

Is there a tool that can migrate Starteam to svn or git or any other modern/decent source control system? I'm thinking of something along the lines of how git-svn works; allowing you to use git to pull from an svn repository. Something that can import a StarTeam repository and convert it to an svn repository, but also keep pulling from...
I'm currently running a Rails migration where I am adding a datatype specific to Postgres, the tsvector. It holds search information in the form that Postgres expects for its built-in text searching capabilities. This is the line from my migration: t.column "search_vectors", :tsvector Everything seems to be working fine, and the sea...
At my shop right now, we're trying to automate our deployment process. We're handling database migrations using a Rails-like migrations tool. One issue we're struggling with is how to automate rollbacks. For code, we can simply change the symlinked current version of the project to point to the old version (this is a web application, so ...
After using SQLite for development and beta-testing for a home-project I want to migrate the DB to Microsoft SQL Server to get better performance. Is there any free/cheap utils that will do this? So far I have found DBConvert that looks like a good product, are there others? ...
I have a migration which adds triggers to MySQL via invoking ActiveRecord::Base.connection() method "execute". It works fine except what schema version is not updated. I suspect that is because the DB structure by itself is not changed (no columns and table updates). Is there a way to force the schema version update in my migration? ...
