That way the programmer gets to live in happy ignorance, while the system is still reasonably well maintained. Of course, that's not always possible, especially if the programmer is doing more than just simple SQL hacking. In that case, put the PC in a lab, behind an interior firewall, and heavily isolate it from the rest of the network. Maybe he needs two PCs that way, but that's the cost of development. -- Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do | | not represent the views or policy of any other person or organization. | | All information is provided without warranty of any kind. | ------ You are subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to %%email.unsub%% ------ You are subscribed as [email protected] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
