• Visual C# OOP Data Access Question

  I am trying to grasp and understand OOP better and I have a question in regards to d classes that perfrom CRUD operations. I am looking for input and thoughts on seperating CRUD functions from domain classes. My application has three domain classes: item , cart (which contain items) and user (manage the carts, add remove items and such). Items and carts both expose public methods that require CRUD operations and I do not want to build the CRUD into the class so I have added a data class for handling the CRUD operations. My qeustion is should each item (could be 1000s) and cart (100s) object create a new instance of the data class for calling the methods for performing needed CRUD functions This just seems to be alot of overhead by cr ...Show All

• SQL Server Gender of Names

  Does anyone know of a way to identify the gender of a person's name in a table I have found an application that does it but I have to export it and use another program to analyze the data and then importing it back into SQL. We have a table that has a list of customers names that we use to market and we need this tool to analzye the customers by gender. Thank you in advance for your help. This sounds to me like I would manually have to enter names for it to work. Is this correct I think I should have been more clear in my question. We have a table of about 1 milllion records we need to check to determine the gender of the names and, I was hoping I guess, to be able to run some sort command or something ...Show All

• SQL Server Bulk Insert from CSV - trouble with .FMT

  I need to bulk insert from multiple files which are comma-separated with quotes as delimiters around each column. I cannot use DTS because the filenames are variable (unless someone knows how to get DTS to read 'DIR *.csv' and then load each file ) This .fmt doesn't work because SQL sees "","" as "" - meaning no terminator - then ,"" where it expects whitespace. 8.0 6 1 SQLCHAR 0 1 "","" 3 Prefix SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS 2 SQLCHAR 0 1 "","" 5 Forenames SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS 3 SQLCHAR 0 1 "","" 4 Surname SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS 4 SQLCHAR 0 1 "","" 6 Job_Title SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS 5 SQLCHAR ...Show All
