 You may need to migrate any database code if you switch database types.
 If you may need to do that in the future, you may want to start thinking
 of using a database abstraction package that lets you write database
 independent code so you don't have to rewrite much (any) code.

 In that case, the best option for you is Metabase. Besides allowing you
 to write database independent code, it also allows you to define and
 install database schemas using a database independent schema description
 files all based in XML. If some day you decide to move, you may just ask
 Metabase to dump the database schema and all the data stored in it to a
 XML file that you can use to reinstall in a new database type and carry
 on with you application as if nothing was changed. AFAIK, nothing
 provides this facility, not with PHP nor anything else, not even Java.

 Metabase is freely available from here:

Isn't it arrogant to plug metabase at every opportunity, even if it isn't
slightly related to the topic? (And also on the wrong list). Isn't it
arrogant to call ppl 'new guys that just got *php.net', while they have
contributed a great deal in 20 months, both in coding, thinking,
documentation, bug reviewing? Isn't it arrogant to call ppl 'big shots',
while you act like one yourself in every situation as one?

I indeed did not like your response for these reasons:

   * As have *many* people on this list - even you. :)

It was not intended, but now you have to face the justice or Mr. Net cop
Derick.

Just to relax, you know that 4 years ago I wrote a book named something
that would be translated as  Being on the Internet. I have one chapter
that talks about typical behaviours that the Internet make outstand in
users. One of the described behaviours is what I called the Net Cop.
It is that guy that thinks of himself of a big shot that knows all and
is going to fix the world by repressing others. Derick just reminded me
of a Net Cop. Anyway, I tend to understand people like him, because as I
explained in the book, usually people just repress others because they
are or at least were repressed by others in the past. Despite they hated
it, they just do the same and repress others with shouting at them with
public messages to try to humilliate them, just like Derick tried. Never
mind, nothing that some good analysis sessions would not solve! :-)

Anyway, talking about books, and to not completely waste this thread I
have just skimmed your book, PHP Functions Essential Reference. I must
congratulate you and your co-authors for the book. It is a very good
approach to make turn a reference manual into a much more useful PHP
programming hand book.

I am sorry I could not yet find time to publish a review in the PHP
Classes site because I have been very busy with things that gave me a
lot of work like completely removing the uses of strtok function from
the site code because PHP developers broke it after version 4.0.6 and I
could not avoid the upgrade to use the APC cache to speedup the site
service.

I probably only have time to review your book in February because I am
still very busy with a new release of Metabase to be out on its second
anniversary since its first public release that will happen on the 18th.
There are a few inovating features that I want release but I have to
work a lot to make it happen in time. Then I need to get back to MetaL
developement that will also have its first public release soon,
hopefully some time next month. But don't worry I will make a nice
review of your book anytime until then.

What on earth do these two issues have to do with each other?  (this is a 
rhetorical question, I'll appreciate it if you didn't answer it).

If people feel like taking a vacation, they'll take a vacation.
If they feel like going to a movie, they'll go see a movie.
If people feel like fixing bugs, they'll fix bugs.
If people are annoyed by what you say, they'll tell you that.  If they 
enjoy doing that for whatever past reasons, they'll also enjoy doing that!

Do you get the idea behind the 'free world' concept?  (the same comment 
from the previous question applies)

You can't cover yourself with some bulletproof vest against criticism, by 
saying that people should spend time fixing bugs instead of replying to 
you.  Each and every person will decide what he wants to do, and you never 
had, don't have, and never will have the dictatorial ability to tell them 
what to do.  You try to do that every time, and just like it never worked 
in the past, it will never work in the future.

  I believe that you are a net cop. Derick certainly is not - I somewhat am
  -- just by the virtue of not being able to leave other people's 
  discussions well enough alone. :)  Anyone remember when I was *stupid*
  enough to try and moderate the last big fight between Zeev and Sascha?

 Anyway, talking about books, and to not completely waste this thread I
 have just skimmed your book, PHP Functions Essential Reference. I must
 congratulate you and your co-authors for the book. It is a very good

  This is an example of the negative behavior that we discuseed. Everyone
  know that you have issues with this. Each time that you bring it up 
  without adding any constructive input with it, it makes people angry.

  If I found what I considered to be a flaw in Metabase, and 
  continually hounded you on the problem without offering any compromise

 I probably only have time to review your book in February because I am

  Hi Abi,

  While Manuel was kind enough to answer you, this question is best suited

   You defend yourself so vigorously and take offense so quickly that
   people have trouble relating to you.

If and when you ever be faced by misunderstanding and bias against you,
you will understand me.


 
 [cut]
 
  It was not intended, but now you have to face the justice or Mr. Net cop
  Derick.
 
   Actually I don't - in fact, I don't recall ever having been troubled by
   those who disagree with you.  I am probably the least adept of the people
   actively involved with the development effort and I make a lot of mistakes
   and foolish suggestions, yet no one troubles me...

Sorry, when I said you I mean somebody that could be me or anybody
that has to put up with a net cop like person, not that it will happen
to you.


 
  Just to relax, you know that 4 years ago I wrote a book named something
  that would be translated as  Being on the Internet. I have one chapter
  that talks about typical behaviours that the Internet make outstand in
  users. One of the described behaviours is what I called the Net Cop.
  It is that guy that thinks of himself of a big shot that knows all and
  is going to fix the world by repressing others. Derick just reminded me
  of a Net Cop. Anyway, I tend to understand people like him, because as I
  explained in the book, usually people just repress others because they
  are or at least were repressed by others in the past. Despite they hated
  it, they just do the same and repress others with shouting at them with
  public messages to try to humilliate them, just like Derick tried. Never
  mind, nothing that some good analysis sessions would not solve! :-)
 
   Manuel, you are very intelligent and have the benefit of being older than
   many of us on the list - why can't you identify your own behavior in the
   bad things that you attribute to others?

I was attacked and I feel that I have the right to respond to protect me
from being humilliated by kids like Derick that have to intention
respect me.


 
   I believe that you are a net cop. Derick certainly is not - I somewhat am

So, you did not what understand (or I was not able to explain) what a
net cop is. A net cop is just a person that voluntarily sits that and
try to police people just to nailed them sometimes imposing public
humilliation. That is what Derick did by his own initiative. Regardless
if he or anybody liked my response, he should not forget that was just a
reaction to his attact to my person. 


   -- just by the virtue of not being able to leave other people's
   discussions well enough alone. :)  Anyone remember when I was *stupid*
   enough to try and moderate the last big fight between Zeev and Sascha?

No. :-)

 
  Anyway, talking about books, and to not completely waste this thread I
  have just skimmed your book, PHP Functions Essential Reference. I must
  congratulate you and your co-authors for the book. It is a very good
  approach to make turn a reference manual into a much more useful PHP
  programming hand book.
 
   Thank you! We worked hard on providing cookbook-style examples
   to match the reference material.

No problem, I know that it is very hard to write books and at the same
time provide good value for the reader in such way that it motivates
them to buy them.


 
  I am sorry I could not yet find time to publish a review in the PHP
  Classes site because I have been very busy with things that gave me a
  lot of work like completely removing the uses of strtok function from
  the site code because PHP developers broke it after version

 What on earth do these two issues have to do with each other?  (this is a
 rhetorical question, I'll appreciate it if you didn't answer it).
 
 If people feel like taking a vacation, they'll take a vacation.
 If they feel like going to a movie, they'll go see a movie.
 If people feel like fixing bugs, they'll fix bugs.
 If people are annoyed by what you say, they'll tell you that.  If they
 enjoy doing that for whatever past reasons, they'll also enjoy doing that!
 
 Do you get the idea behind the 'free world' concept?  (the same comment
 from the previous question applies)
 
 You can't cover yourself with some bulletproof vest against criticism, by
 saying that people should spend time fixing bugs instead of replying to
 you.  Each and every person will decide what he wants to do, and you never
 had, don't have, and never will have the dictatorial ability to tell them
 what to do.  You try to do that every time, and just like it never worked
 in the past, it will never work in the future.

You got me wrong. If you read again in the beginning, I said I was
kidding. Then I expressed my opinion that fixing PHP bugs would be a
better way to spend time than come here and start yet another repress
Manuel thread. I never said or intended that you would have to agree.
You can disagree, but my opinion is that is not reasonable. The world
can live without this, but bugs need to be fixed soon or later, or else
they will remain there forever rotten.

2002-01-12 Thread Peter Petermann

[insert other shameless plugs here]
   What is the matter with you? Why this hostility again? Does the truth
   bothers you?
  The truth? You mean 'the truth by Manuel' I think.
 Derick, learn, against facts there is no argument.

but he is right...

 You just seem to suffer from some sort of envy or anything like that
 makes you so obcessed with repressing me to point users to us stuff that
 I developed. Relax, it is done in PHP and not in anything else. That is
 a good thing to help users to be motivated ti stick with PHP. Repressing
 me to prevent others to know about the good things that I developed in
 PHP for them to use, seems to be counterproductive from a person that
 cares about PHP community that I suppose you do.
no one is trying to repress you. But if you write in a public Mailing list,
and hell, yes thisone is public, you shouldnt wonder if someone doesnt
agree. Maybe you should try to understand why derick is criticizing you,
and try to learn of it.

   Are you going to start yet another repress Manuel because we don't
want
   him to help PHP users thread?
  Exactly.
 At least you admit it. :-)
Well what should he have answered instead of that?

   Get a grip! I wish new guys like you that just got @php.net stop
acting
   as if you it got over your head and you think you are a big shot
because
   of that and you the right to act this arrogant.
  Isn't it arrogant to plug metabase at every opportunity, even if it
isn't
 Derick, you ought to improve your knowledge of the meaning of English
 work like arrogance. Since you are not a native English speaker, you are
 excused of course. Since I am not a native English speaker either, I am
 not the right person to tell you what it means.
Well, im not an native english speaker too, but arrogance may be used in
this
context, and isnt wrong then.

  slightly related to the topic? (And also on the wrong list). Isn't it
  arrogant to call ppl 'new guys that just got *php.net', while they have
  contributed a great deal in 20 months, both in coding, thinking,
  documentation, bug reviewing? Isn't it arrogant to call ppl 'big shots',
  while you act like one yourself in every situation as one?
 I'm sorry but that is what I think you are. At least I am not an
 hypocrit to tell you something that I don't think. You don't respect me
respect is something that isnt granted for free. you should work for that,
and even if youre older try to learn of what others say.

   What? You did not like my response? That's to make you think again
next
   time before you decide to get me started with your repressing
arrogance.
   :-(
  I indeed did not like your response for these reasons:
  1) Wrong list.
 I already said that I did not quite notice the list it was being posted.
 I made a mistake that may happen to anybody that just wants to followup
 a call for help.
 Anyway, if it was in the wrong list, why did you followup in to the same
 list? Wouldn't it be more appropriate to reply privately?
well, if he would have written it privately,
someone else would have done that in public.


 I get you, you just seem to try to humilliate me in public. Nice!
my english dictonary doesnt tell me what humilliate means...
but i think i can guess what you mean - youre wrong.

  2) It had little to do with the question.
 Metabase has all to do with writing portable PHP applications so the
 original poster can benefit from that to migrate between different
 platforms without the usual trouble. If you don't agree, maybe you ought
 to spend some time getting to know it instead of coming here just to
 step on my feet to attack me.
Metabase looks to me like just a package for porting between diffrent
databases.
the original question wasnt about database porting, it was about porting a
php script.
even if he is using a database, he doesnt need to change. He just needs to
dump this database,
and read this dump in the new one (same database, other Operating System).
Where is the need/advantage for metabase here?
You just wanted to advertise it here.

 My response was well on topic but you just wanted to repress at any
 excuse accusing me of making it a shameless plug. If that is a shameless
 plug, what is this then?

 http://news.php.net/article.php?group=php.devarticle=75528
 I was talking about having SOAP based Web services consuption built-in
 PHP and you come along and push your session extension that is
 completely unrelated with the thread.
srm is not a session extension
and, Dericks post wasnt that off topic,
it looks to like you just didnt read the srm papers.

 your extension but I can't even suggest that Metabase would be a good
 help for the problem of the original poster of this thread!?!?
well. but it isnt, it would need him to do MORE work,
without any advantages.

 Get a grip, inconsistent atitudes like this just ruin the credibility of
 your arguments!
... have a look at your glasshouse..

  3) I just don't like any response from you.
 Ooops, wrong answer! You are not

see my other mail. dont take this as attack, understand why derick is
writing that.
dont blame it on derick, try to find out what YOU did wrong.

so in your view everyone who says something negative about you, even
if he is just criticizing, he is a net cop?
everyone not agreeing with you is a big bad net cop?
wake up!




 Actually I find more valuable the people that have the guts to speak up
 what they think, even if they defy my points of view, rather than stay
 quite in the background boycotting my initiatives.

just my 2 cents
