    General DB question - looking for best option

    I'm trying but it really seems as if all this is going around in circles. Would anyone be able to give me example answers to Paul's questions? Why are there better things to worry about than the platform? Isn't that the reason for asking the questions he's asking...to determine the platform...

    General DB question - looking for best option

    Phil, thanks for your 2 cents. Any chance you could expand just a little. My impression of OLTP vs OLAP was that they are database design paradigms. Maybe you could recommend a good book. And, back somewhat to the original question...does it seem like I can use Access?

    Rotate Image

    Thanks all. Forgive me...I mis-spoke. When I said image...I meant either "model" - which is what I was describing. Looking to see if something like this has been done or can be done - will look at DirectX. Have thought about the 360 thing. Could probably actually get away with 180 but...

    Rotate Image

    Thank you. I wasn't familiar with Silverlight so I had to look it up. Unfortunately, I don't see what I'm suggesting. Any other thoughts??

    Rotate Image

    Thank you for the quick response. Not exactly what I'm looking for. I want to rotate the image in 3D so that the user can "mark" either the passenger side or the driver side. Almost like what you'd see in a CAD design. Any other options?

    Rotate Image

    Let's say I have an image of a car. I'd like to be able to rotate the car 360'. Actually, I'd like the user to be able to control the rotation through arrow buttons. Further, I'd like them to be able to make an X or a dot on the car when they have in view whatever they want in view. After...

    General DB question - looking for best option

    You guys are great. The data is what I would call critical data, however, for this initial release, I'm finding the data is rather simple, if that makes sense. I'm finding that most of my data fits this pattern: tblClientTable clientId OtherClientFields tblClientReportLink clientId...

    General DB question - looking for best option

    I'm sorry... "A 10 Gig database with 50k tps would probably be a large database." "a better measure would be the disk size of a database, since that takes into account structural complexity, i.e. lots of tables." Could someone expand or point me to articles directly related to this? How would...

    Table Relation Question

    Let's say a user wants to perform TaskA. In order to completely perform TaskA, TaskB, TaskC, and TaskD need to be completed also and in that order. If the user wants to complete, say, TaskQ, in order to fully complete TaskQ, they will need to completely perform TaskM, TaskN, TaskO, TaskP. I was...

    General DB question - looking for best option

    Those articles bought back what I learned in college but haven't touched since. And really...hundreds of thousands of data records is considered a small database? Thank you all.

    General DB question - looking for best option

    Yes...hundreds of thousands of clients meant The business will have hundreds of thousands of records of client data. I'll take a look at those articles. I feel like such a newbie! All advice is greatly appreciated!

    Multiple tabs in tab control - single data point

    No...Let me explain again. A database is searched by product key. A single product has information that is spread among different tabs. Each tab corresponds to the data needed by individual departments. In general, the data needed by each department is unique to that department. However...

    Multiple tabs in tab control - single data point

    I haven't used VB since version 6.0...about 6 or 7 years ago so I'm getting my feet wet again....this time using .net. I have a tab control. Let's say each tab displays different but detailed information on a product. At the top of each tab, I'd want the product ID and a brief description...

    General DB question - looking for best option

    I need some suggestions/advice. I've been asked to write an application for a new venture on which a friend is about to embark. We're looking at no more than a 1 year turn around. In the Microsoft arena, I've done C++ (6.0 and some .net) for the last 8 years, VB and VBA programming...off and...
