After an epic struggle this weekend, I now have a database which is somewhat out of date, but WORKS! The structure and the data are CONSISTENT, so the fact that it is now a week or so out of date is not much of a challenge. Now that the thing works, I can simply make updates, rather than have to hack and kludge my way around it.
Maybe now my rapid app development software will stop giving me such trouble. Hard to complain about the front end when you know the back end ain’t exactly holding water.
That’s right–this is a new front in the blog wars. SQL by the spoonful.
