Your friends on Wall Street employ quite a few programmers, which they keep very busy, some even with M. SQL does not mean you get your data any easier or faster, or that you have less need of professional programmers.
If you are using a conventional RDBMS, realistically what is your alternative to SQL? I guess there are some object tools now, but historically that toolbox only holds hammers. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ruben Safir Sent: Sunday, June 12, 2005 6:12 PM To: hardhats-members@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [Hardhats-members] == VistaWeb Missing Apps == <<SQL may shine for a simple query, but you let the relationships get a little more sophisticated and the SQL statement will need to be as well. A lot of real world problems result in complex solutions, with complex data representations, relational or otherwise. It sometimes takes a skilled, experienced person to get what is needed from the data.>> All my friends on Wall Street handle this problem everyday and they do it with supposedly slow and awkward tools - SQL, Perl, Sybase and MYSQL, Oracle. And nobody is churning out more information, and faster than they are. There is a reason why we keep hitting ourselves with SQL. Because it just works. If your DBA's and your programmers are brain dead, then "Garbage in; Garbage out" We're all familiar with the expression, "When your a hammer, everything looks like a nail" <shoulder shrug> ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: NEC IT Guy Games.
