Re: [U2] Why Pick U2 ?

Amen Rob.

T-SQL bites. So  I write CLR Sprocs or do the heavy lifting in C# and
then call very minimal Sprocs.

 I have to heartily disagree that U2 has a sophisticated business rules
 engine.  U2 Basic is such a limited language.  It barely has functions, and
 you have to home brew almost everything.

 Microsoft's T-SQL stored procedures are just as horrible to write as U2
 Basic programs.  As Jeff Atwood put it -- Stored procedures should be
 considered database assembly language. [1] Why do you think Microsoft now
 allows you to call CLR code from stored procedures?  Because it's so much
 more efficient to work with the data (i.e., enforce the business rules) in a
 modern language like C# that has *actual libraries* for doing useful things.

 I agree that business rules shouldn't be on the client -- but who says they
 have to be in the database?  Look at the ever-so-popular MVC architecture.
  The models (i.e., the code that works with the database and enforces all of
 the business rules) are isolated from the views (i.e., the
 client/presentation code) entirely.

 +1 for what David said.  Yes, there's the limitation that BASIC is the
 only native supported language (not factoring external connectors), but as
 a
 language native to the environment, this BASIC is really pretty rich by
 comparison to the stored procedure languages of other DBs.

Re: [U2] mv.NET and U2.NET

2010-08-03 Thread Charles Carroll
I do think Bill's issues may be legit, but he is not responding like someone
who contacted the vendor and attempted to resolve the issue. He speaks like
someone that saw some issues and considered them egregious but did not
follow up to see if the problems were a black swan or white one just assumed
the whole technology was problematic without investigation / speaking to the
experts.

If Bill wants to prove my assumption wrong by saying 'I contacted this
person by email and this one by phone # and after a hour conversation or 6
emails no resolution occurred' I would feel like he really tried to see
whether his issues are typical or edge case.

I do think in an ideal world we never should have to contact vendors it
should all just work, but the windows software 'stack' lends itself to lots
of side effects that specific vendors will have seen with their software. I
had a Postcript printer card that corrupted my hard disk (very bizarre side
effect) and windows search scanning a constantly churning XML file on iTunes
brought my 64-bit 16 gig of RAM quad core desktop to it's knees so yeah
windows software stack things can get really ugly in certain combinations.

We have a pretty complex millions of rows transfer/Import/Data Warehouse we
are/were considering Bluefinity for and my co-wroker Angela and me and our
U2 genius all worked with them in a pre-sales situation and they helped us
explained many options and got a HUGE IMPORT working that showed they could
handle very high volume and presented us with a few ways and scenarios their
customers work with large data to give us some other options for our complex
data warehouse loading scenarios. They do seem to know their product, have
some successful customers and are excited to help make things work if given
the data that things are not working whereas I have met with many vendors
that just don't care.

But that being said maybe Bill did contact people at Bluefinity and have bad
experiences and just is not telling us and has a legit gripe because their
tech support dropped the ball, but I don't think he has told us enough to
come to the conclusion he tried and we ain't psychic either. Telling is what
bad experience he had with their tech support in more concrete terms would
make me feel like he did due diligence if I had to take sides then we could
feel like Bluefinity let him down when he gave them some data about what
does not work if he gives us some info about his contact with them.

  Charlie,
 
  I am, to put it mildly, absolutely astonished to read your comments
  about mv.NET.
 
  Have you posted this feedback to the Bluefinity support team?
 
  On what basis are you assessing the cost of mv.NET as being very
  expensive?  Compared to what else?
 
  What mv.NET process(es) are you classifying as a resource HOG?
 
  Again,
 
  to my knowledge, BlueFinity support has received absolutely nothing
  relating to this issue from your organization.
 
  What kind of data movement pattern is being performed at the store you
  mention?  Did anyone at Inland Truck ask BlueFinity for assistance in
  diagnosing this issue?
 
  It seems to me as though a little more communication with BlueFinity
  support might me to the benefit of everyone here.
 
  As for U2.NET, I refer you to Tony Gravagno's post on this thread.
