Brian, Thanks for book suggestions as this is one of the concepts that I am having issues with. Understanding the database/languages, SQL and Csharp, are just a "how-to" problem which I've got a pretty decent grasp of. However, RECORD LOCKING and concurrency seems to be the white elephant in room that I have seen less written about and worse even less thought out in the application(s) that I'm having to deal with.
Thanks, Don Verhagen > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-u2-us...@listserver.u2ug.org > [mailto:owner-u2-us...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Brian Leach > Sent: Sunday, February 22, 2009 12:39 PM > To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org > Subject: RE: [U2] Leaving U2 World to the Dark Side (SQL) > > Hi Don > > I'm sure you'll excel there - especially with your depth of > real-world (ie > multivalue) knowledge behind you! > > But I would highly recommend reading whatever is the latest > book on SQL > Server and .Net by Roger Jennings before you do (check out > Wrox press). > Apart from the stuff pointed out here about maintaining three tier > architectures and not just using data binding (actually, data > binding to > classes is fine, just binding to data sets is crap) the real bitch is > concurrency control and how to handle it when you need to > start looking at > merge processing.
