  • A Definition of Database Design Standards for Human Rights Agencies
    A Definition of Database Design Standards for Human Rights Agencies by Patrick Ball, et al. AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE 1994 TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction Definition of an Entity Entity versus Role versus Link What is a Link? Presentation of a Data Model Rule-types with Rule Examples and Instance Examples . 6.1 Type of Rule: Act . 6.2 Type of Rule: Relationship . 6.3 Rule-type Name: Biography Rule Parsimony: the Trade between Precision and Simplicity xBase Table Design Implementation Example . 8.1 xBase Implementation Example . 8.2 Abstract Fields & Data Types SQL Database Design Implementation Example . 9.1 Querying & Performance . 9.2 Main Difference . 9.3 Storage of the Rules in SQL Model 1. Introduction In 1993, HURIDOCS published their Standard Human Rights Event Formats (Dueck et al. 1993a) which describe standards for the collection and exchange of information on human rights abuses. These formats represent a major step forward in enabling human rights organizations to develop manual and computerized systems for collecting and exchanging data. The formats define common fields for collection of human rights event, victim, source, perpetrator and agency intervention data, and a common vocabulary for many of the fields in the formats, for example occupation, type of event and geographical location. The formats are designed as a tool leading toward both manual and computerized systems of human rights violation documentation. Before organizations implement documentation systems which will meet their needs, a wide range of issues must be considered. One of these problems is the structural problems of some data having complex relations to other data.

  • Xbase++ Language Concepts for Newbies Geek Gatherings Roger Donnay
    Xbase++ Language Concepts for Newbies Geek Gatherings Roger Donnay Introduction Xbase++ has extended the capabilities of the language beyond what is available in FoxPro and Clipper. For FoxPro developers and Clipper developers who are new to Xbase++, there are new variable types and language concepts that can enhance the programmer's ability to create more powerful and more supportable applications. The flexibility of the Xbase++ language is what makes it possible to create libraries of functions that can be used dynamically across multiple applications. The preprocessor, code blocks, ragged arrays and objects combine to give the programmer the ability to create their own language of commands and functions and all the advantages of a 4th generation language. This session will also show how these language concepts can be employed to create 3rd party add-on products to Xbase++ that will integrate seamlessly into Xbase++ applications. The Xbase++ language in incredibly robust and it could take years to understand most of its capabilities, however when migrating Clipper and FoxPro applications, it is not necessary to know all of this. I have aided many Clipper and FoxPro developers with the migration process over the years and I have found that only a basic introduction to the following concepts are necessary to get off to a great start: * The Xbase++ Project. Creation of EXEs and DLLs. * The compiler, linker and project builder . * Console mode for quick migration of Clipper and Fox 2.6 apps. * INIT and EXIT procedures, DBESYS, APPSYS and MAIN. * The DBE (Database engine) * LOCALS, STATICS, PRIVATE and PUBLIC variables. * STATIC functions.

  • SQL Anywhere: an Embeddable DBMS
    SQL Anywhere: An Embeddable DBMS Ivan T. Bowman Peter Bumbulis Dan Farrar Anil K. Goel Brendan Lucier Anisoara Nica G. N. Paulley John Smirnios Matthew Young-Lai Sybase iAnywhere Abstract We present an overview of the embeddability features of SQL Anywhere, a full-function relational data- base system designed for frontline business environments with minimal administration. SQL Anywhere supports features common to enterprise-class database management systems, such as intra-query par- allelism, materialized views, OLAP functionality, stored procedures, triggers, and hot failover. SQL Anywhere can serve as a high-performance workgroup server, an embedded database that is installed along with an application, or as a mobile database installed on a handheld device that provides full database services, including two-way synchronization, to applications when the device is disconnected from the corporate intranet. We illustrate how SQL Anywhere’s embeddability features work in concert to provide a robust data management solution in zero-administration environments. 1 Introduction Database systems have become ubiquitous across the computing landscape. This is partly because of the basic facilities offered by database management systems: physical data independence, ACID transaction properties, a high-level query language, stored procedures, and triggers. These facilities permits sophisticated applications to ‘push’ much of their complexity into the database itself. The proliferation of database systems in the mobile and embedded market segments is due, in addition to the features above, to the support for two-way database replication and synchronization offered by most commercial database management systems. Data synchroniza- tion technology makes it possible for remote users to both access and update corporate data at a remote, off-site location.
