Updating an XML file

Hi Guys, any recommendations for the following -

Have a "settings" XML file with things like

<settings>
<something>TRUE </something>
<somethingelse> FALSE</somethingelse>
</settings>

In a new version of the App, I want to include a new default
"settings" file, adding a couple of new nodes, and "merge" the
existing settings file with the new one, whilst maintaining any
existing settings. Basically, compare the new default file to the
existing file and add/remove any nodes based on what's in the new
format.

Now obviously I can do this manually in the code, but do there exist
any clever XML commands/functions to do this merge automagically?

Let's say I have an html form with 20 or 30 fields in it. The form submits the fields via POST to a php page which updates a table in a database with the $_POST vars. Which makes more sense? 1) simply UPDATING the values for all fields in the table, whether or not any particular field has actually changed 2) running a second SELECT statement and comparing the $_POST vars to the returned values, and only UPDATING those that have...

Hi, Currently we're a building a metadatadriven datawarehouse in SQL Server 2000.

The application we are developing uses MS Access 2003 database (with help of ADO). We have noticed that during massive records updating the size of the mdb file increases dramatically (from 3-4 to 200-300 Mb). After compacting the file shrinks back to 3-4 Mb. I have performed the following experiment. I created a test database containing only one table with two columns (Key number, Value text(50)). The table contains 10 thousands...

My application is calculation intensive and the servers are agonizingly slow. Administrators of my application only update the backends once a month (twice a month max). So, my launching program allows the back-end file to be downloaded to the user's PC. This will provide maximum speed for these calculations/manipulations of data. Without this, just logging into the main app connected to the server back-end file can take five minutes...

I'm guessing this is a laughably obvious answer to many here, but it's not to me (and I don't have a server or any knowledge of PHP to be able to try it). It's not strictly a PHP question, but something that PHP guys would know the answer to. I can't think of a more appropriate forum to try. I've heard the ASP and JSP guys aren't as friendly ;-) Let's say we have a HTML page from domain example.com, and that HTML page makes a request to...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
