• crowsfoot Architectural Considerations for Auditing

  We are building an application which connects to two kinds of database viz. one is a local database store and other is located at a central server. Now to perform auditing for every transaction I am of the opinion to do auditing at the database level. Implement it as part of trigger insertion into an audit table. Reason being its simple to implement and maintain. My Database Architect is against the idea and wants me to handle auditing at the application level. Would appreciate your viewpoints and guidance on this. Thanks Sai Hi, Basically if you see the issue from a database architects perspective , he might be correct when he does not want to use triggers for auditing. Execution of triggers ...Show All

• Christie Myburgh When should I create another instance?

  If I have a loop and I have to use another object each time I iterate. Should I instantiate this object for each step, or should I instantiate it outside the loop By doing it outside the loop I might have some problems concerning getting "ghost" information from the previous iteration. But, by doing it inside the loop (for each step) I would slow down the whole algorithm, besides consuming more memory...

• waynes-world Architecture question

  I have a mobile field service app written to run on WM5 CF2 and would like some advice on architecture. For this type of app, the runtime performance is crucial in relation to startup time. I have a Data Access Layer (DAL) with various classes that provide the abstraction between business objects and the persistence layer e.g. SqlCe. One class per business object. On top of that is the Business Logic Layer (BLL) that uses the DAL layer. This is impemented by normal classes. And on top of that the Presentation layer implemented as a number of Forms that use the BLL layer methods only. I have also created a 'MyApplication' class with the singleton pattern. When the class instantiates, it creates all the BLL classes, the database c ...Show All

• Przemek G. Sql table design for unknown drilldown depth

  I have a basic question about how to design tables where you don't know how many layers deep you need to drill down, or if children records can have 0 or more children. It would look something like this.... 1 1.1 1.2 2 2.1 2.2.1 2.3.1 2.4.1.1 Or if it was a cms for a news site, you could have: News - local - national Classifieds - Cars -- For Sale --- By owner --- By dealer -- For Lease In this news site case it's not as simple as having 2 tables - Category & Subcategory because "News" has 1 layer deep of children, but Classifieds children can have children under that.
