    mga bro, sino nka gamit dto ng MS ACCESS (as Fornt end) MySQL (back end database)

    ano mga pros and cons dto?

    sa napansin ko ung image dko ma retrieve sa MS ACCESS as front end...

    tnx

     

    I was just wondering kung bakit MySQL ang pinili mo for back end database. I am using MySQL for web-based database programs written in PHP but requires installation of PHP and other server software.

     

    Kung single desktop user lang naman, have you tried using MSDE 2000 or yung Microsoft SQL Express as your backend.

    I still remember when two cards got mixed up and wasted a lot of printout. Instead of printing a table/matrix on one page, one row printed on each page . . . i expected a less than 10 page output but it turned out more, so I paid a lot more exhausting even my fare back home. That is just a simple programming assignment. Subject ES 26 B)

     

    What about dBase or Clipper programming? :D

     

    After programming in COBOL sa mainframe environment, downsized to personal computer MS-DOS. Database programming na with xBase language.

     

    dBase IV and FoxPro but usually kailangan pang install yung software sa unit ng user. Unlike Clipper na stand-alone executable na yung compiled program. Dami pang mga OOP (using TBROWSE function) routines.

     

    Although Clipper ay wala na sa market, mayroon naman open-source version nito sa http://www.harbour-project.org/

    I can sympathize too. I remember MicroFOCUS Level II COBOL on the IBM PC XT that you had better code on coding sheets first if you did not want to waste time doing a post-compile debug.

     

    How many times have you dropped a stack of cards? Most of us have but once is usually enough. After that one time you become extra extra careful.

     

    You had to be extra careful about using computer resources like memory because even the newer minicomputer systems then like hte Burroughs B70 with its 5MB, 8-inch thick, 24 inch diameter disk packs had only 64 kb of RAM and you had better code efficiently or a lot of employees will be mad at you if their paychecks are delayed.

     

    I can relate too and still remember those days when I was still working as a Jr. Operations Analyst (only 21 at that time) on a mainframe data processing service center using Burroughs B4800/B4900 and Tandem Non-Stop systems.
