RE: Tertiary education

Looks interesting, but it seems to have a bent towards postgrad study. Our staffer is undergrad, and I just had a look at CSU's undergrad offerings and they are all Java or C++. I doubt he has sufficient work experience to qualify for a masters, but I will take a closer look. Dylan.

I did the Masters in Systems Development (Charles Sturt Uni), as an external student (Distance Education). Half the courseware is Microsoft based and the other half are Uni units (12 units in all). The Microsoft units are the standard Microsoft training courses. Those that come with standard tr

Tertiary education

-- We've got a staff member who wants to enrol in some tertiary IT courses, and I'm looking for recommendations for courses that will give exposure to C# and SQL Server. I've been looking at the external offerings from USQ (http://www.usq.edu.au/handbook/2010/bus/BITC.html), which mentions .net

We always used data binding – so the object that it was bound to was populated long before the UI would be clicked on anyway (in most cases). Regards Mitch Denny Readify | Chief Technology Officer Suite 408 Life.Lab Building | 198 Harbour Esplanade | Docklands | VIC 3008 | Australia M: +61 414

RE: Azure DB performance

Mitch, this certainly won’t turn us off Azure DB as the benefits of the facility far outweigh any performance curiosities. In real life I doubt if anyone is going to sit at their machine and insert thousands of records. We will work the way it wants, not the other way around. And yeah, WinFo

RE: Azure DB performance

Hi Greg, To be honest, this is to be expected. You are accessing a SQL database across the Internet. I’m not sure whether a SQL database on a standard SQL server hosting package would be that much different. You could expect the same kind of issues on a stock standard client/server application

I claim my estimates of 5 minutes for insert of 1177 rows vs 2 seconds the select * is in the correct range. I have ADSL2 via Exetel. The insert calls were inside a DataReader loop and I had prepared the DataCommand parameters outside of the loop, setting the values inside the loop. I’m sure the

Re: Azure DB performance

Best adsl2+ would be 24mbps / 1mbps 24 / 1 for annex A, 24 / ~2-3 for annex M. Is 4 am too early for a nit pick?

RE: Azure DB performance

Yes, you're right (even accounting for some exaggeration by Greg Keogh). Best adsl2+ would be 24mbps / 1mbps vs 300s/2s. so, I will be interesting to know the correct reason for the discrepancy. _ Ian Thomas Victoria Park, Western Australia _ From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.

Re: Azure DB performance

Maybe there's something fundamental I'm overlooking here, but 5 mins == 300 seconds. Reads take 2 seconds, so writes are 150x worse than reads, not 30x worse. Joseph On Tue, Nov 23, 2010 at 11:56 PM, Ian Thomas wrote: > Assuming you have plain ADSL+ and not something less asymmetric such as >

RE: Azure DB performance

Assuming you have plain ADSL+ and not something less asymmetric such as Annexe M or Bonded DSL, or better - you would expect perhaps 20 times worse performance on upload just because of the internet connection. 5mins to 2 secs = 30 times. _ Ian Thomas Victoria Park, Western Australia

Azure DB performance

Folks, after an hour of suffering weird errors I managed to create my first Azure database and a small console app to copy rows from a local table into the Azure one. I got a bit of a fright when it took about 5 minutes to insert the 1177 rows into the Azure table. Luckily however, it only takes ab

Interesting. I thought my computer's "blank" moments (normally during late startup i.e. during userinit) were "16-bit" hardware drivers not allowing co-processing. Perhaps it is just imminent hardware failure for me too. (In my case I think it is the DVD-ROM drive -- I don't use it very much and i
