Thanks for the suggestions Dylan. I have no intention of reinventing the wheel. With my lack of web development experience I have no doubt the wheel would turn out square.. I was meaning that I would learn about web development and perhaps try building a new site incorporating the required

Source control of DB scripts

Folks, I'm sure we've all had problems where multiple developers change SQL Server scripts and they get out of whack and waste time with stupid errors. I'm starting a fresh app and I thought I'd experiment with keeping scripts in SVN. It just means that we have to remember to always save a

Poor mans approach is to version the updates and version the database. (Im sure theres way more sophisticated tools that would do all this form you mayby like dbghost etc) So in your update script you may have something like SET @CurrentVer = (Select dbschemaVersion from ControlTable) If

Hi Greg, I've worked on a project which has done the scripts in source control approach. I think the thing which made it work was that part of the CI build was to actually spin up a new db and run all the scripts. Failure of the scripts to run triggered a build failure and appropriate blame

Greg, If you have a VS 2010 Licence (or at least VSTS 2008 with the Data Dude GDR2) then you can keep the database projects in source control and also get some pretty nifty error checking to cut down on those stupid errors by using database projects. Just remember that SQL Server's deferred name

That's not in 1st Normal form. One possibility: If you have a known, finite list of languages to support add extra columns to the Month table for each language. or create a general lookup table that contains 3 columns, englishword, languageID, translatedword. My 2 cents. Mitch

You could map the string for the months to a string in your class, and on the setter, do the logic to put it into the list, and on the getter make it back into the correctly ordered string? On Mon, May 31, 2010 at 2:02 PM, James Chapman-Smith ja...@enigmativity.com wrote: Hi Clint, You
