XML Challenge

Hi everyone! I'm new to this list. Does anyone know where I can find
information regarding XML functionality in postgreSQL? Also, I could
probably use some general advice...

I'm working on a large project, and I'm running into an interesting
challenge:

My client is a testing lab, and they frequently develop new tests to
perform for their clients. Right now they handle everything with paper
worksheets. I am tyring to help them eliminate the paper-pushing.

I would like to enable the users to create electronic, preferably
web-based data-entry forms on their own. I want to create this solution
in such a way that in the process of designing the fields and forms they
would automatically and dynamically create and edit tables in a
database, possibly seperate from the main postgreSQL database.

I am using 7.4.1 and PHP 4 so far. I've briefly looked at the Microsoft
InfoPath product, which looks like it will create an xml schema from the
forms created in the program, which I guess might be 1/2-way there since
I could probably use the schema to define tables/etc...

Ideally, I am hoping to find an open-source solution that uses the new
W3C XForms specification. However, I can't find any form
designers/editors equivalent to InfoPath for linux/open-source and MS
Infopath doesn't support XForms. I've also come upon Mozilla XUL a lot
in my research and am curious if any of you have experience with that,
as well.

Any input is greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,

First let me say that maybe I'm having a "duh" moment and perhaps I'm missing something... but it seems to me that no one thing in the System.Collections namespace (even in .NET 2.0) even comes close to the still-useful-today VB intrinsic Collection. Here's the challenge (I know I'm totally missing something here).... Implement a full featured MRU (Most Recently Used) list using System.Collections. Use Case:

OK, so I know that there has been a lot of discussion on this topic, but none of the answers have been satisfactory. Therefore there seems to be only one thing to do: issue a challenge to all of the CSS gurus of the world to prove that CSS really can do what it claims to do. The challenge seems simple as first blush. We take a simple case of table-based layout: <table align="center" cellpadding="4">

Several people in this group argue that standard C is not portable since there are no compilers for it, etc. I propose this program in Standard C, that I have compiled in several OSes to test if this is actually true. My basic idea is to see which systems do not have a compiler that supports standard C. The program is designed to produce the sum of the natural integers up to a user provider argument. For instance

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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...

But I'm wondering if it's possible to do the same thing, with 2 Pfsense firewalls...
