Hi everyone I am currently reviewing a desktop (i.e. NOT web) application that involves mostly viewing and changing records in a database (via a nice GUI front end).
In some places, changes are "committed" as soon as you enter them, a bit like how Microsoft Access operates. In other places, the user has to specifically "save" to commit changes, like MYOB. Any opinions on when one approach should be used over the other and whether the inconsistency matters?
