well that went down like a plumbium dirigible...

a job I was on a while ago was a turnkey app that had 777 db tables
(and prob more now) where they just couldn't compartmentalize the
code. No chance of breaking off and selling discrete modules and if
you didn't want all the features, you got the full schema anyway
populated with some obscure table needing values in only 2 fields out
of 40.

Being a turnkey app, there wasn't as much flexability as an inhouse
app but in this current situation  the legacy apps here have been
rebuilt twice in 5 years because they just couldn't be expanded or
integrated. I can see the same thing happening and I'll be damned to
mortgage the future by taking the easy way out that becomes outdated
by the time it's delivered. A third party governance app has been
brought in and they can't integrate it, so it's up to double keying to
keep the place going.

talking to a few CF'ers, not many have done anything like this, which
is surprising. I first started playing around with Microsoft Message
Queue to pass communications between apps back in NT4/VB6 days. Since
then webservices has sprung up.

it's funny, in the RIA space, it's full of small disparate
applications that do one job well. the next step is getting them to
all talk to each other.

oh well, fire and motion.

thanx
