well, I'm not writing a web server, not writing their e-commerce stuff (although that is what I do all day, not hard stuff) - I'm just doing the board. it will evolve, but the current implementation I'm working on is just php and mysql for pure speed on the linux box that they are getting. technically there might be more in the works, so I may switch over to writing a full C++ app, we shall see - for now this is going quickly and easily as it is. nothing too complicated - just need to stay awake long enough to get it done. ------------------ Build a man a fire, he is warm for a day.

I'm here ... watching "Nurse Betty" with my dad. I've given up on trying to revive my career. I checked out dealer school today and will be beginning to learn craps and 21 in a week.------------------ [This message has been edited by May1010 (edited March 10, 2001).] | ||

Cool, Happy. My friend was there the other day trying to convince me that writing a board in PHP w/MySQL would be "very slow" blah blah blah. The typically SQL query for a typical message board takes less than 1/10th of a second. I'm sure searching through a file to get a thread listing and then searching through another file for a message display using Perl is much faster. How long have you been writing it? Took me about 2 weeks off and on for my Perl version. I imagine I could do a simple PHP version in under a weekend if I had a reason to. -Warik ------------------ BY THE POWER OF GRAYSKULL!!! | ||

php is way faster than perl for this - I did my own benchmarks and there are others available on the net. mysql, the newest one, kicks major ass - but it doesn't have stored procedures - so I might write another version for postgre sql (that has triggers too which can be nice). as for how long I've been writing it - actual site down time - less than an hour. I have "work" and then I also write banking software for some companies in Bermuda, so I'm what I call "really fucking busy" right now. so when I have free time, it is really hard for me to code and not just fall asleep wherever I am. I was hoping to finish it this weekend (I wrote a slashdot copy that had what were IMO better features in three days, that was all in perl though) - but I was given a deadline by both my real work and one of the banking companies - so I have a shitload to do now. I'd much rather do the board though, so I'll probably try to work on that. ------------------ Build a man a fire, he is warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he is warm for a lifetime. | ||

Yeah I've heard that MySQL doesn't have stored procedures. Supposedly they are very useful, but my friend hasn't been able to explain to me WHY they are useful (even though he uses stored procedure with an Oracle database). When you have time, would you mind letting me know what the point of them all is? As for my programming, right now I'm writing something for work that will eliminate practically 90% of my boss's and his employees' work. They won't have to quote a single price again cause my PHP script will do it, taking in account all special promotions based on peoples' cities of travel yadayadayada. Almost done, too. Populating the price database is going to be a bitch, though. -Warik ------------------ BY THE POWER OF GRAYSKULL!!! | ||

if yo uhave the data already in another database or in a flat file, use Perl to populate the database - that is one of the things it is really good for. as for stored procedures, they kick ass for performance reasons. now, with a stored procedure you write one that can get passed different vars and then when the server gets started, it gets compiles once and then loaded into memory - so it is VERY fast since it is always there - it also caches the data that it gets and you can adjust it so that if the data isn't new, then it will send back the cached data - also very fast. ------------------ Build a man a fire, he is warm for a day.

Thanks Happy. Stored procedures definately look very useful. As for database population, the data is on paper. What I have done, however, is written a C++ program that allows me to simply type in the room categories and resorts only once and then just punch in numbers in a big loop. It then creates a text file with all the SQL commands to add the data in which I just copy & paste in my telnet window. If I had to add it all in manually I think I'd tell my boss to do it himself. -Warik ------------------ BY THE POWER OF GRAYSKULL!!! | ||

yup. years ago before I started college I used an ocr program at a law firm to setup their library to be quickly searchable and it saved me a ton of time. now if the stuff on paper is handwritten, it depends on how sloppy the writing is for it to recognize, but if it is from a printer, it will read it pretty damn well. ------------------ Build a man a fire, he is warm for a day.
