    Manage DataBase

    Hi all,

    I have a VB aplicantion in many places. I need to manage databases over
    files on pen drive. What's the database i using to manage this program?
    My conditions is this: i have most computer but it's not conected to
    internet and i have to actualize this database in a server-computer.

    tks a lot,

    Marcos

    Re: Manage DataBase

    you shoudl just keep your data in an Access database.

    the problem of course is that you might not have MS Access running on
    the actual server; so you will probably need to build a VB6
    application.

    you just can't count on .NET being on any server-- mainly because MS
    doesn't provide a simple standard mechanism to determine which version
    of the framework is on a machine

    so I would go to ebay and find a VB6 Professional Edition or something.

    hope that helps

    -Aaron

      Re: Manage DataBase

      The aaronkempf guy doesn't think anybody should use .Net,
      and everyone should stay with VB6. Most of the rest of us
      don't agree with him.

      Can you be clearer about your issue? You have a VB application that is
      installed on several machines? What does it do? Does it access one
      database or several? When you say pen drive, do you mean a usb key
      drive?

      As for the database you use as the back-end of the VB application,
      it depends on the size of the database, how many concurrent users
      you are going to have, etc. Many people use SqlServerExpres s (which
      is free). Others use Access. I've done both, it just depends on
      the circumstances of the application.

      You don't need Internet access to have a desktop app that uses
      a database.

      If you provide more details, you'll get more feedback, hopefully
      from others besides that aaronkempf guy.

        you can't guarantee that .NET software is going to be installed on the
        server; so you should aim for the 'least common denominator'

          You can if you work for the right company. In some companies,
          it's regular business to have the .Net framework installed.
          In others, it may not be installed, but they're okay with you
          installing it for your users.

            Re: Manage DataBase

            it just doesn't seem efficient to me.

            Microsoft shoudl force the .NET framework upon every machine everywhere
            in the world.

            as it is; downloading a 300mb file to each of my servers over a dialup
            connection is not practical

            maybe they can make one installer that will push 1.1 and 1.0 and 2.0 on
            there?

            or do we really 'only need 3.0'?

            is 3.0 going to have a simple apparatus so that we can easily determine
            what version is on each machine?

            I mean seriously.

            how does windows admin A supposed to know what version is on machine X?
            please tell me kids... because it's NOT STANDARDIZED; ITS IMPOSSIBLE
            FOR A NEWBIE WINDOWS ADMIN TO EVEN DETERMINE WHAT VERSION IS INSTALLED;
            SO HOW IN THE FUCK IS IT PRACTICAL TO BUILD APPS ON THIS CRAP?

              A company can install the version(s) they want on every machine. The last
              three places I worked had the ability to push software out to the desktops,
              in order to make sure all the computers in the company were running the
              same versions.

                Re: Manage DataBase

                yeah.. so if they've standardized it 'in Windows' then what version is
                it??

                ROFL

                oh yeah; sorry 1.0 for XP? 2.0 for Server 2003 R2.. 1.1 for Server 2003
                and 3.0 for Vista?

                are you telling me that there is now a standard way to DETERMINE THIS
                WITHOUT MAKING THE NT ADMINSTRATORS REMEMBER THAT COMPLEX IF THEN
                LOGIC?


                Cuz I sure don't see it

                THERE ISNT A STANDARD WAY TO INSTALL THE FRAMEWORK ON PEOPLES MACHINES
                AND THERE ISNT EVEN A WAY TO DETERMINE WHICH VERSION IS ON MACHINE X.

                THE MOST IMPRACTICAL ARCHITECTURE IVE EVER HEARD OF IN MY LIFE

                    listen asshole

                    im sorry that you dont speak english well.
                    i was just saying that if you're going to move this from one server to
                    another, dealing with the .NET framework might not be practical


                    just use vb6 and mdb file.. everything else is too complex to deal
                    with other dependencies, etc

                    ..net framework? on a thumbdrive?

                    what if half the servers dont have the framework?

                    there isn't even an easy way to determine which version of the
                    framework is on a particular machine; those dipshits in redmond need
                    some real-world experience

                    As for the database you use as the back-end of the VB application,
                    it depends on the size of the database, how many concurrent users
                    you are going to have, etc. Many people use SqlServerExpres s (which
                    is free). Others use Access. I've done both, it just depends on
                    the circumstances of the application.

                    You don't need Internet access to have a desktop app that uses
                    a database.
                    - I don't know how to make code for management database for this. Can
                    you show me some example for this application?

                    If you provide more details, you'll get more feedback, hopefully
                    from others besides that aaronkempf guy.

                      Re: Manage DataBase

                      You're doing fine w/your English. I just need more details.

                      So you have an application running on multiple machines.
                      The data is on a "pen drive", and you want the application
                      to read it in and do some kind of calculations on it?
                      Does that summarize the problem?

                      If so, what is the format of the data on the "pen drive" that
                      you are reading? Is it an Access database? A SQLServer Express
                      database file? A delimited text file? An XML file?

                      Robin S.

                          being obtuse. (If anyone else gets it, please feel free
                          to pontificate here.)

                          You have a software application that you have written
                          or are writing and it doesn't have a database?

                          You have data on a USB key that you'd like
                          to import and put in a database and use in
                          the application?

                          What is the format of the data on the USB key?

                            Re: Manage DataBase

                            lets pretend he means a software FOB.. in USB form

                            and he wants to get off of this unique database/application onto a
                            standard database


                            so.. how about we see if he can import the data via ODBC; and pretend
                            that his fob runs foxpro or btrieve or something

                            -Aaron

                            So you have an application running on multiple machines.
                            The data is on a "pen drive", and you want the application
                            to read it in and do some kind of calculations on it?
                            Does that summarize the problem?
                            I try again... please patience!!! I have one logistic software application
                            development without database solution. I need help for best solution
                            database for this case.
                            This server software acquired data from usb key, but i haven't solution.. I
                            rummage the best form for transfer data.The database can exceed over 5MB
                            per file. What the best solution in this case?

                            If so, what is the format of the data on the "pen drive" that
                            you are reading? Is it an Access database? A SQLServer Express
                            database file? A delimited text file? An XML file?

                              But not a fob.
