ADO 6

And I'm still CLUELESS what this means:

Well, sir, you aren't a professional anything. Any competent programmer uses
the best tool for the application instead of one fits all. MS Office may
very well be the best tool for some purposes, as I have shown by using it to
replace horrendous and unworkable code written by others.

seriously.. what point were you trying to make?

MS Office isn't the best tool; Excel and Word are fucking diseases..
and outlook is a (necessary) plague

Access MDB? Are you friggin kidding me?

I'm just glad that Microsoft is giving us a CLEAR MARKETING MESSAGE and
that message is that :

1. DAO _IS_ DEAD - I dont see a DAO 6.0 ROFL
2. ADO STILL IS RELEVENT AND MS IS COMING OUT WITH A NEW VERSION
3. MDB is for fucking retards - because they haven't ever awarded a MVP
award to a SINGLE PERSON that can spell ADP. It's not that they know
that it's being retired-- ITS NOT BEING RETIRED. Its just that MS for
some reason tries to recognize RETARD-ASS MDB PROGRAMMERS instead of
the real developers that are REALLY CONTRIBUTING.

MDB

Right. Sure, and if they need a word processor or spreadsheet they clone MS
Word or Excel.

NOT!

Software is a tool. It is a poor craftsman who blames his tools.

 

[Homer J Simpson]

you're the fucking retard that is stuck in MDB land

you're the one with a single hammer and everything looks like a nail

Really? I will use anything from assembler on up through Snobol. The right
tool for the right job.

 

[aaron.kempf]

you're the poor craftsman because you're the fucking diptard that uses
an old tool

MDB and DAO lol

ROFL

VB.NOT?

ROFL

Even VB 2005 is too slow and unreliable for real world use and I sure
as **** aren't gonna use 2002 or 2003 because they dont have 'edit and
continue'

[aaron.kempf]

who needs a word processor or a spreadsheet?

I dont do spreadsheets; im a DBA, jackass

and I sure don't use a 'Word Processor' I write webpages

Just for the fun of keeping the thread alive, I use RDO for SQL databases.
Why use M$ overhead when you can send your querys directly to the boss, the
SQL-server. And you don't even have to load Jet.

[dbahooker]

RDO.. ROFL.. man I haven't heard of that in a long time.
I assume that because you use RDO you think that it's faster than ADO?

you got any proof / examples for that ?

That's so clever, using your aliases to post messages agreeing
with yourself, larrylinson, susiedba, aaronkempf, punjab_tom,
dbahooker, etc.

wtf are you talking about honkey?

go play in the freeway, VB.Newbie

[dbahooker]

seriously please explain punk

false allegations?


-Aaron

 

[punjab_tom]

clone word and excel?

Im a database developer; what use would I possibly have for Excel?

and Word?
I dont do .DOC I build webpages; jackass

-Tom

 

[Henning]

And seriously, there can't be that many posters here using the same bad
language like a clone, or?

/Henning

 

[punjab_tom]

no buddy I just don't understand.. it's awfully quaint.

do normal people still use Excel and Word?

WHAT FOR?

Personally I hate Word and Excel and all sorts of UNSTRUCTURED DATA
more than anything.

Do you know why?

BECAUSE ITS REPETITIVE; ITS BUILT ON HUNDREDS OF HOURS OF OTHERS TIME.

AND BECAUSE I CAN"T SUBMIT A SIMPLE QUERY 'how many report specs
include the word sincerely'

I personally have had to import > 100 spreadsheets and > 100 word docs
in probably a dozen different situations and I dont think that it makes
any sense to use these formats FOR ANYTHING.

XLS and DOC are even more stupid than MDB format.

You truly are an idiot.

 

[Robert Morley]

Oh yes, that's very clever...and very necessary, as it would appear that
someone somewhere has blacklisted him. I'm receiving very few of his
messages (at least via news.microsoft.com...I don't know if these newsgroups
are reflected elsewhere). More often than not, I'm only aware of his posts
when someone replies to them, though the occasional one leaks through.

[Henning]

Soooo?

None is telling _you_ to use anything you don't like, right. That doesn't
mean others can't.
This will be my last post, the thread is not giving anything to the
community, exept a course in bad languge...

Bye

[aaron.kempf]

HTML is a better language; DOC is DED
