Re: [U2] [SPAM?]Re: silly company names
that's nothing new, for many years, some people put their advertisements to run upside down Since it's not the norm, it draws your attentionas well as billboards. -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users- boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Steve Romanow Sent: Sunday, February 20, 2011 10:03 AM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] [SPAM?]Re: silly company names We have a silly marketing ploy in my town that tweaks me every time I drive by. A local security company has their sign on the pole upside down. Been that way for 3 years now. I have no idea why they have not made them flip it over, but it certainly draws the eye. G.

Re: [U2] Friendfeed and U2 EDA similarities
So, no-one is actually doing active development and clever things with EDA? I was just wondering since UniVerse now has EDA, someone must be doing something wonderful with it besides ticking boxes in a tender document? Or is it a secret-squirrel VAR thing? :) Cheers, djm David Jordan wrote: The main benefit for EDA is to be able to tell clients that your application runs on Oracle, DB2, SQL Server, etc. The question is, how much of the Database needs to be put on the external database to satisfy a customer's expectation. Do you just transport information for enquiry/data warehouse data or do you transfer the whole transaction database. One are to be aware is that most pick applications are pessimistic locking and SQL databases prefer optimistic locking for performance. It would usually require U2 to the only application updating the database. - Learn and Do Excel and Share http://mvdbs.com http://mvdbs.com -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Friendfeed-and-U2-EDA-similarities-tp30953121p30979366.html Sent from the U2 - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
