Hi again,
Many thanks for everyone who has helped me on this message board. I have a non-programming question this time.
I'm trying to convince our IT department to use SQL server, instead of MS Access, as the backend for an application form.* I need reasons why. In my experience in the past, SQL server can handle mutltiple users at once, the data is less likely to be corrupted, and it is more secure and stable. Is there anything else I'm missing? Please advise.
Thanks for chiming in,
Donna
*Background:
Right now, when students fill out the application, the data is sent via email. The email is printed and someone has to manually input the information into another system. It would be great if their efforts were streamlined by having the data in a database. That way, it can easily be uploaded into the other system. W/ SQL, queries could be written to extrapolate the data accordingly. The format could be in comma separated values or tab separated values to be easily uploaded into the other system.

I'm not familiar w/ MSDE. Could you elaborate, lauren? Thanks!
|

MSDE is the stripped down, desktop version of SQL Server. It is basically SQL Server without the graphical tools and clustering/scaling support. It is free, redistributable, and will support up to 5 concurrent connections.
onwards and upwards...
|
|
|
|
|
the new version supports up to 25 connections now
i think they are competing with mysql these days

Doesn't really sound like this use on it's own would be enough to justify sql server to be honest. Could you not get the application form to publish an xml document which could then be attached to the email before it is sent.....would be better than typing it in.

Thanks for the suggestion. I hadn't thought of an XML document.

Hello,
Does any one know the code to write data to a text file on a web server using ASP?
Thanks very much, Rob

You can use a FileSystem Object, like this
<br />
Dim objFSO<br />
Dim objFile<br />
<br />
' Create the FSO Object<br />
Set objFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")<br />
<br />
' Open a file to read<br />
Set objFil = objFSO.OpenTextFile(strFile, 1, True)<br />
something = objFil.ReadAll<br />
<br />
' Open a file to write<br />
Set objFil = objFSO.OpenTextFile(strFile, 2, True)<br />
objFil.Write "Something"<br />
<br />
' Close the file<br />
objFile.Close<br />
<br />
Set objFile = Nothing<br />
Set objFSO = Nothing<br />

Specifically for the presentation layer of the web: XHTML coupled with XSLT, MathML, CSS, InkML, VoiceXML, SMIL, XForms, and a dash of JavaScript to add some flavor. So I guess it would be XML-based rendering derivatives (except for the JavaScript :P)

I am doing a research project for my own benifit and I came across some questions.

3. What are the advantages one get using agents (single or multi) over other methods?
4. From where I can get some useful links or sample projects about agents?

you can store images in a databse and load them using asp pages..
in the asp page check the server variable http-referer to check that the page is loaded from your site .
