Telefax: 018 – 471 30 00 Visual DataFlex provides a database manager called Embedded Database which is not suitable to be used in a multi-client environment. Therefore, in multi-client Hemsida: environments, a third party database management system is normally used. http://www.teknat.uu.se/student Visual DataFlex is primarily used in smaller and midsized environments. Database administrators are normally not wanted in these environments and therefore it is important that the third-party database management system is easy to set up and configure. For database independency, Visual DataFlex uses connectivity kits which are an abstraction layer between the internal interface in Visual DataFlex and the client software of the database manager in use.

Overview The Internet revolution has underscored the importance of making data available reliably and at a high speed to an ever-growing user base. Corporations continue to consolidate their data into single, enterprise-wide databases so that information about customers, products, and the market can be easily extracted and manipulated. These databases also allow customers and their mobile workforce to update and retrieve information at the same time, from any location. The new, data-intensive demands of today’s businesses require a database server that is robust, scalable, gives excellent response time in extracting and manipulating data, has great disaster recovery features and above all provides excellent security features and guarantees 24X7 availability.

  • Dataflex Educational Game About Data Centers for Children 25 June 2020, Delft University of Technology
    DataFlex Educational game about data centers for children 25 June 2020, Delft University of Technology Gedeon d’ Abreu de Paulo Bilal el Attar Ali Al-Kaswan Nathan Kronstadt Gianni Wiemers Supervisors: Dr. Ir. W.P. Brinkman, TU Delft, Supervisor Drs. Ir. S. de Wit, VHTO, Client Bachelor Coordinator: Ir. T.A.W. Overklift, TU Delft An electronic version of this report is available at http://repository.tudelft.nl/ ​ Summary Women are largely underrepresented in IT, girls’ interest in STEM and IT fields tends to drop throughout secondary education. Educational games are a great tool to change the perception of certain topics, as well as changing the behaviour of the players. Thus, this report describes the development of a game to make the field of IT more appealing to girls between the ages of 10 and 14. After collecting requirements with the client and doing a literature study a design is proposed. The final product is a two-player 2D Role-Playing-Game with puzzle elements, specifically designed to be played in a classroom environment. The game takes place in a data center and will show the players the societal importance of data centers as well as the diversity of the work in data centers. The gameplay consists of exploring a data center, talking with both male and female employees in various roles, helping them with their work through minigames, and solving a mystery. The game was designed to specifically cater to girls and to break stereotypes regarding women in IT. 2 Preface For the final course, TI3806, of the study Computer Science and Engineering at the Delft University of Technology we have created a product.

  • Dataflex Reports 2018 Developer Edition – 6.2 Readme
    DataFlex Reports 2018 Developer Edition – 6.2 readme Welcome to DataFlex Reports 2018 Developer Edition – 6.2 Important information for existing DataFlex Reports users: Existing reports The .dr (or .vrw for older reports) report definition format has changed between version 6.x and 6.2. If you save reports with this version of DataFlex Reports, you can no longer use them in previous versions. Special caution with regards to this: when opening reports that were created with an older version it is advised to run the ‘check database’ option. Font sizes are calculated differently in version 6.0 and up of DataFlex Reports. This can have an effect on the layout of existing 5.0 reports. DataFlex Reports version 6 calculates font sizes differently compared to previous versions. This means the overall size of text may differ and can cause clipping of fields which did not occur in previous versions. Also, when using small fonts (less than 10 pts) the text may appear more greyish compared to previous versions. String comparison in expression evaluator String comparison in previous versions of DataFlex Reports (up to and including DataFlex Reports 6.0 Beta I) were case-insensitive. Starting with version 6 Beta II, a new option ‘Use case-sensitive comparison in functions’ has been added to address what should be considered a bug. For example the following function would return “case insensitive”. if ("A" = "a") then return "case insensitive" end The option ‘Use case-sensitive comparison in functions’ is turned on by default for new reports. Existing reports have this option turned off to ensure backward compatibility.
