• SQL Server Database Question, Scripting Vs. Wizard

  There are two ways to get access to a database from C#, for example, I can use SQL statement to create a table; I can also use SQL statement to read value from a table. Another way is to use the database wizard to create a table. One good thing with the database wizard is that you get access to the fields directly by intellicense and the fields are easier to bind with the controls. I am just starting learning database. The problem I see with the wizard, if your database changes. For example, right now I am using an access file about if that change to oracle or any other type. How can I approach that Will that be easier to modify. I want to know if scripting is better or using the wizard. What I like with the wizard is getting acce ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Microsoft's future policy for redistributing Xbox 360 games?

  Before I commit serious time and effort to the XNA framework, I'm wondering if anyone knows Microsoft plans for allowing us to redistribute our games for Xbox360. I'm an academic. Let's say I want to make some educational/simulation games that my students can use on the Xbox 360. Will I be able to provide them with a CD or download link in XBox live As far as I can tell so far, the only games I can write are for myself. Bottom line: Publishers are out to make money, just like most folks. If a game has appeal it will sell. (Indie films ) That’s all I will say on this one. . . But the real issue is what limitations will be placed on GSE I’d imagine the same as with all the ...Show All

• SQL Server Data mining cube with 0-value facts

  I'm defining a mining structure against an OLAP dimension. The continuous value that I'm using both as input and for forecasting represents the time to complete a certain process. There's something that strikes me as if it could be a problem, but I'm not sure. Our fact table has multiple columns (with multiple correponding measures in the cube). The "time-to-complete" measure is only populated on some of the fact rows - the rows that represent completion information. Other rows represent other information, and the "time-to-complete" value is set to 0. This works fine for cumulative time-to-complete and average time-to-complete, but it seems like it could mess up data mining. Will those 0-value facts skew the mining res ...Show All
