  • RE: Where should middle tier business logic be stored?

    I've programmed through phases and styles that have been everything from all in stored procs through to all in code. In general you cannot get away from some logic in...

  • RE: Choosing Your Tasks

    I'd say I have a bit more self directed time than when I answered last time. Perhaps 50-60% of it, and I think I do use it pretty well all...

  • RE: The Work of the Ancients

    I believe we have systems built over 15 years ago, however the average age we seem to achieve is 10-12 years. Sometimes being under development is not especially positive -...

  • RE: Have a Think

    John Corkett (10/1/2015)


    Hi

    Thinking time is essential. We need to take time to sit back and think about the way forward or the big picture.

    My thinking time is usually on my...

  • RE: Whatever happened to Database Table Refactoring?

    re: MySQL I'm going to say the licence cost issue is a big one these days, and seems to be more onerous than it has been. I've not had to...

  • RE: The Counter Offer - Part 2

    I've been around long enough to know that any employer will act in their perceived interests regardless of your interests. I completely agree that you should maximise your value. Unfortunately...

    I've interviewed loads of staff over the years including a few technically brilliant ones that were rejected unanimously by myself and whichever colleague was interviewing with me.

  • RE: No More Foreign Keys?

    @RonKyle

    Not you indeed, I'd not be questioning you, as we were both arguing in favour - sorry for any confusion.

    I guess why I find this topic so interesting is that I keep hearing this "the consequences will dire" statement about not using foreign keys and I...

    I just worry about the programmers that want to "fix" something that isn't broken, just to make it more...

  • RE: Annual Security Compliance Training

    I'm pretty sure it's always a groan. I don't want to appear arrogant but such security training seems to be very least common denominator. I'm not a particularly fast learner...
