    Tip

    1. Naming Fields: Choose a Context Name

    Tip: When naming fields/columns in a table, use ONE name for the data in the field. For example, although states are called provinces and other names in other coutries, use one or the other in the database but not both. Use CompanyState, avoid CompanyStateProvince. Use labels in your website or program to switch context.

    2. MSSQL Update Trigger Example

    This tutorial shows how you would create a trigger in Microsoft SQL Server 2005/2008 that will date/timestamp a column named last_updated everytime any data in the row is updated.

    I have an windows application using a grid control.  I have set up user settings for each column of the grid to enable the user to determine various properties of those columns.  For example whether a particular user wants this column Visible or not.

    Everything works fine for this. But I have had many companies request ing the ability to deliver a standard set of user settings (meaning, they want all users to have the same columns properties).  Application Settings will not work as each company may want to have different columns properties, so they need to be able to modify these settings.  And other companies/users want the ability to have each user determine what column properties they want.

    So what would be nice is to tell them to set up one workstation with the column properties they want.  Then enable them to copy those user settings to different users.  Can this be done?



    Regarding...
    Storing your .NET Application Settings
    Storing settings and configuration information for your .NET application can be achieved in a number of ways including using the app.config file and the ConfigurationManager class, using the registry, and in your own custom configuration file.

    Has anyone gotten the following dialogue when opening Paradox 9 in Vista?

    "An attempt was made to access an unmanned file past its end."

    After clicking Ok, the program starts and runs in a fairly stable manner.  When I tried installing higher versions of Paradox in Vista (like the one from the X3 package), the same message comes up and blocks the program from running at all.

    Refer to the section titled "Defeat Vista's Application Virtualization" in the Paradox 9 on Vista article. That should help.

    The Future of Paradox Blog

    Authored by , Posted By mprestwood
    If you're still using Paradox for any of your business database applications, you need to put a plan together now for converting to another development tool or at least understand what the future is likely to hold. If you're a power-user or researcher working with data, stick with Paradox at least for now.
