  • RE: Risk Analysis

    This is regarding how a company should go about quantifying the extent of investment required for disaster recovery. From my experience, the frequency of a company wide network outage tends...

  • RE: Are There That Many GUIDs?

    As for global uniqueness, I don't see why the column combination (center_id + cashregister_id + transaction_date) or database id + transaction identity id would not be as reliable, or more...

  • RE: Are There That Many GUIDs?

    And, unfortunately, absolutely no one wants that, as everyone has a different opinion on what "equal" means.
