I am a Windows admin who knows how to administer SQL server, but I don't
have any experience in creating a data interface so that regular users, who
don't know anything about SQL commands, can manipulate the data.
Any good books or suggestions? Basically I want to be able to create
something possibly by users using a web browser. I have some Perl scripting
experience if that helps.
Thanks,
CJ

That's a rather open question - you're basically asking how to build a
front-end application for working with MSSQL. There are plenty of possible
ways to do it, such as using ASP or PHP for a web interface, Access forms, a
full .NET Windows application etc.
It's hard to give any specific advice, but I'd suggest that the first thing
to do is identify what the application is for, and go from there. For tasks
like data entry or reporting, you can probably find plenty of samples via
Google; building a business application may be a more complicated story.

You might want to check out www.asp.net It's a good site to just get
started. They have samples, tutorials, etc that will walk you through the
process. It will also help you pick up an entirely new skillset, which is
always a good thing. :)

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:

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,...
