Why do we write applications? One answer could be “for fun”, but not always we are in such a comfortable situation of doing something without a real (business) reason. This is where “Creating Value from Programming” comes in.
Recently we’ve done a joint session with Jeroen Pluimers on the Software Developer Event “Office Stuff!!”…

Recently, I was exploring writing an ADO SQL logging tool (sorta like BDE monitor) – more details on that later – which would show SQL statements on the screen as they ran. All was well until I figured I needed to be able to see my SQL…

The reason there are both Table and Query components is due to the fact there are table-oriented databases like Dbase, Paradox, or Access, and there are set-oriented databases like Interbase, Oracle, and MSSQL. These different types of database systems work and behave differently from one another and the same methods of access cannot be equally applied.
