This is my situation. I am in the process of automating several warehouse transactions that currently are done via hand scanner + proprietary DLL that in turn calls a series of stored procedures. The goal is to allow another layer of stored procedures to call the existing ones instead of using...

I have been asked to look into a problem one of our partner groups is having with a set of SQL procedures. I have run out of ideas and was hoping someone here might think of something, as I am not a DBA and don't have the depth of knowledge many of you do. Situation: A set of procedures exists...

This may not be the correct forum to post in, but I couldn't find one that seemed more accurate. Several of our IT Team have started using Outlook 2007 beta to get ready for next year's requests. Among these a couple have been interested in the RSS Feeds functionslity in Outlook. So I clued a...

I'd like to see some code for finding ISO Weeks :) I have a stored proc here at work that runs the fairly standard Microsoft example of how to get an ISO weeks with lots of DatePart goodness and multiple lines... Lets see who can make the: Shortest line count, any language (not counting...

This is similar to the work-day addition problem we have seen in so many forums. Write a function/procudure/whatever that: Given two integer arguments: weekday: 0-6 (sun-sat) day of month: 1-31 return the first future date that is the given day of week and given day of the month. Target...

Note: I just made this up, so who knows how easy or hard it will be :) The purpose is to write a function to calculate the cheapest possible cost of building a wall based on the number of bricks required for the wall and the distance between the brick store and the site of the future wall. Your...

I have a small application that has a timer with a 10s interval. The event off this timer instantiates a local FileStream object, reads the file, then closes the stream. The file I am reading changes every few minutes (it's basically a dump of the current song from a music player). The problem I...

Ok, been trying to get this working for a couple days so far. Basically what I am doing is trying to get a linux box to allow domain users to login, using domain authentication, etc off of a windows 2000 domain. Here is what works: Krb5 authentication works Machine is registered with Active...

Hey guys, for anyone that downloaded my little benchmark scripts, I just found an error that could be a problem. The script was originally keeping track of the time for every run but when I instantianted the array I accidentally used the number of tests to instantiate both dimensions instead of...

This is less of a tip and more of an idea. Some of you may know tat I have spent a lot of ie in the past benchmaking various methods against one anotherto find the most efficient (or inefficient) ways to do common tasks. One ofthe problems with benchmarking is tat by defaul the inner clocks of...

I'm looking for peoples opinions based on experience. I'm currently looking at setting up two network servers and originally the company wanted to go with Windows until I mentioned how badly a rebbot/month or week would affect their uptime calculations. This is the short list of the main things...

I've been looking through google hits for a while now and have found some software close to what I am looking for, but not quite close enough. Basically I am looking for something that will be able to monitor bandwidth usage across the network before it hits the outgoing line. I know that I...

I was working on some revisions to an older piece of ASP code this morning and found calls to the DateSerial() function, something I had forgotten the existence of. In an attempt to see if a cDate would speed up execution I put together a quick benchmark based on some of the older benchmarks I...

Ok, so here I am playing with MDI Children in a form and I just noticed that now that they are children their MainMenu's seem to disappear. I've tried some google searches (I apparently have several languages that haven't been installed, as most of the hits were not in English) and tried...

I added a FAQ on creating pages for editing multiple records at once. I've noticed several questions recently heading in that direction so I decided I would through it up just in case. There may be some minor errors in there because I am using an old version of my tag colorizer/resolver and...

Ok, here's the situation. For the past year and a bit I have worked for a company that was primarally (sp?) a maintenance and installation company. I was unhappy as my skills lie more in the design and development arena, but it was paying the bills and I didn't have to move. Recently they...

I've recently been working on a project concerning mobile phones and text messaging. What I have found is that while Europe and Asia were clearly ahead inthis arena and have all managed to work somewhat together at standardizing and using the same protocols, US companies have all adopted a great...

I ran into the Windows UDP socket issue the other night. basically I was playing with a script to pull in data from a foreign master server and after messing with it a little (and several hours of searching for badly documented protocol on the partof the master server), I ran into the fact that...

I ran into this eror originally using the urlopen() method of urllib, but have also now run into it using the getfile() method of HTTP. I have managed to track down some information via google that leads nme to believe this error is actually originating with the socket that is being created to...
