DBMS preferences

Posted by Eugenio on 6 Dec 2006

After more than 1500 votes I think I can close the poll.
Here are the results:

I generally use DaDaBIK on:

MySQL: 41.7%
Other: 39.7%
Oracle: 12.4%
pgSQL: 3.7%
MS SQL Server: 2.5%

The win of MySQL was largely expected, the same for the MS SQL Server result. It's surprising, instead, that according to the poll the number of Oracle users is more than three times larger than that of PostgreSQL users and that "Other" gets 39.7%; this last result in my opinion is not reliable, even because I didn't get any comments specifying which is the DBMS used.

"Other" guys, which DBMS do you use DaDaBIK on? :)

My BarCamp experience

Posted by Eugenio on 4 Dec 2006

Last Saturday I had my first BarCamp and I gave my presentation about DaDaBIK (I have uploaded the slides on SlideShare if you want to see them; slides are in Italian).

Most of the talks were about the blogosphere, the speakers have explored both technical and social aspect; the technical talks about software development were just a few but it has been an interesting experience anyway.

A little bit confused the talks agenda, which has changed several time but it was one of the first BarCamp in Italy (the second one) and anyway "No pre-scheduled presentations, no tourists." is one of the BarCamp rules :)

Here is a picture of my talk (thanks to fullo).

DaDaBIK @ BarCamp, Torino

Posted by Eugenio on 24 Nov 2006

On Saturday December 2, 2006 I will be in Torino (Italy) at BarCamp Torino 2006 to give a
seminar about DaDaBIK and rapid database front-end development.

I will explain how to use and exploit DaDaBIK using a real life example.

If you don't know what a BarCamp is, you can start reading the related Wikipedia page.

You are all welcome to come! The event is free, it is better if you register before at the BarCamp wiki.

Bye,

Eugenio.

New release and news management

Posted by Eugenio on 14 Nov 2006

Hi,
a new version of DaDaBIK (4.1 release candidate 1) is available.
This version fixes some bugs, in particular two bugs related to the upgrade operation.

Check the change log for the complete list of changes.

Unfortunately the script I used to manage this "What's new" section had some problems (comments disappeared and spam) so I decided to write one from scratch; here it is! It has a CAPTCHA feature too, which should prevent spam.

I have imported only the messages from the old system and not the comments.

In future I will add the RSS support too.

Let me know if everything is OK.

Bye,

Master/details view

Posted by Eugenio on 28 Oct 2006

Hi,
I'm playing on the master/details view; this feature is useful for example if you want to display on the same page the header of an invoice and all its items.

It's not so easy to find a clean method to implement it but I feel I'm following the right way. I think I will add this feature in the next alpha or beta release (4.2?).

Your suggestions are welcome.

Bye,
