Don't know how many people subscribe to Computerworld ( or what they think about it), but Their Shark tank article (which document experieces in IT) are sometimes funny.But I think they missed the boat today..quote:
Shark Tank: Vendors -- can't live with 'em ...Consultant pilot fish spends weeks working with a vendor team to get acomplex backup process for the customer's new HR/payroll system up andrunning. Backup finally works, and fish asks the manager in charge ofthe vendor team when they can start on the restore test. "Restore ofthe backup image is not part of our offering," manager shrugs. "We onlyback it up."
Sad but true..However...quote:
RedefinedA Boolean variable's value is either true or false -- that's whatBoolean means, notes a database pilot fish struggling with onevendor's, um, unusual version of SQL. "In their version," she says, "aBoolean variable can have one of THREE values: true, false andunknown."
Again what's with all the dis-ing of Nulls?I know, I know...unknown is NOT NULL...NULL being the absence of a thing...but...it's sooooooooooo close...that I don't think they get it...Brett8-) |
