Strategy / direction?

Hi All, wonder if anyone can help me with some direction...
I'm a VB6er who has been plunged into the VB.NET arena with a requirement to
complete a reasonably small project within a month..

The basics are.. I have two databases, from 3rd-party suppliers for which
there is somewhat common data that I have to 'unite' using a simple
interface, enabling the end-user to report on the combined information from
both.

Both databases are Access; the data is 'open' in one, and the data in the
other is accesible via a dll/reference supplied by the vendor of the
software/database.

My plan is to create a 3rd database - a transaction-store, which essentially
keeps a cross-reference of records in comparable tables in the two 3rd-party
databases. A user-driven function will scan one database, and check for any
new records that don't have a matching record in the transaction-store,
these records are then presented to the user who will go then match them
with records in the other 3rd-party database. These new matches are then
added to the transaction-store database.

Now, in VB6, I could have written some quite offensive code, that would
essentially read the first table, then read the transaction-store for
existence, and added records as necessary....

Looking at VB.NET, I see that we have some wonderful ways to set
relationships in the data programmaticall y. Could I use this to my
advantage? If so, any code examples handy? - nothing too indepth, but any
pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated....

Basically, any ideas you guys have, I'd be interested in hearing... as I
say, I'm new to .NET have a number of books to read, but need to start
producing on this pretty quickly and could do with a jump-start..

Thanks,
Graham

Viile writes - >Type declarations are a feature that might benefit IronPython and >Jython more than they would CPython. How much is this part of Guido's decisionmaking process? Guido is , IMO, very much a strategist, as well as a language designer. That's good, I think.

I want to have a master table and a detail table. I want the master table record to be created only if one does not exist already for a given account ID. Here is my concern: Let's say I have several different web pages being viewed by several different web surfers. The viewing of the web pages triggers the same PHP code that attempts to locate a desired master record, auto-creating it if it does not exists.

I think there are 2 options for how to implement the Strategy pattern. One is to use polymorphism; derived classes have the same interface and can be plugged in. The other is to use templates: Instantiate the class, passing in a functor (algorithm). Code samples below. The problem with the first way is that the interface must be the same (parameters passed in) for all strategies. The problem with the second way is that there is no...

I am trying to find a solution to the following design problem (code at the bottom): We are implementing a trader agent that can trade with other traders on an electronical trading platform. To make the trader more extensible, we have defined a strategy interface and implemented this interface for different trading strategies. The problem relates to how to connect the trader and the strategy. The problem is tricky because the strategy...

I'm investigating requirements for deploying applications created for ..NET 2.0 (I've been working with VS2005, C#). One concern I have is granting client PCs code security rights. I know how to use the ".NET 2.0 Configuration Manager" to grant access for a particular, local, single machine. Research suggests that this also possible via group policy and msi's distributed via SMS; however, there appears to be caveats with this...

Hello all, I've been trying to go over my OO Patterns book, and I decided to try to implement them in Python this time around. I figured this would help me learn the language better. Well, I've gotten stuck with my first go at OO patterns with Python. I guess it goes without say that some of the stuff that are taken for granted in most of the books (ie. Interfaces, Abstract classes) don't really apply to Python per say, but the idea...

I have a bit of a problem with regards an indexing strategy. Well, basically there is no indexing strategy on a set of data I have at work. Now, I didn't create the design as I would have allowed for this. OK, so there is primary key (clustered) indexes (mainly composite keys), but no other indexes on the tables. As you would expect, the performance leaves a lot to be desired. A hell of a lot. We have several million rows in a lot of the...

I'm almost done my series of design patterns using PHP 5. Today's pattern is the Strategy Pattern. http://www.fluffycat.com/PHP-Design-Patterns/Strategy/ In the Stratedy Pattern a "family of algorythms" is used interchangably by calling clients. This is the second pattern in as many days as I've used my older work with patterns in Java, and again I liked the old example when I first

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

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.
