Documenting Oracle Databases Complete Oracle database schema auditing

Authors:Mike Ault
Pages:102
Publisher:Unknow
ISBN13:9780974071664
Description:
Many times the Oracle DBA is hired once the database becomes to much to handle without one, inherits the position or is appointed to it “since they are so good with computers”. In any case, they usually get an undocumented system that follows no conventions and holds many traps for the unwary DBA.
In other situations the DBA may find they have the task of recreating the database for which they are responsible. If export and import can be used, this task is fairly easy to accomplish, however, sometimes the DBA will be required to provide DDL (Data Definition Language) for this purpose. The DBA may also wish to document existing procedures, views, constraints and such other structures as they see fit, with human readable output and a minimum of re-editing.

Pages:746
Publisher:O'Reilly
ISBN-13:9780596101527

Unlike other books on the subject, Visual Basic 2005 in a Nutshell, 3rd Edition doesn't assume you're a novice. It's a detailed, professional reference to the Visual Basic language-a reference that you can use to jog your memory about a particular language element or parameter. It'll also come in handy when you want to make sure that there isn't some "gotcha" you've overlooked with a particular language feature.

ISBN-13:9780596100711
Description:

Okay, all you VB6 developers--time's up. As of March 2005, Microsoft no longer supports this version of Visual Basic. And you can't blame them. Three years ago, they introduced the .NET Framework--an elegant, powerful platform--along with the new component-based VB.NET language. But roughly five million of you decided to stick with VB6, mostly to maintain legacy Windows and COM projects.

Now, with the upcoming release of VB 2005, Microsoft has several attractive reasons to upgrade that you'll find hard to resist, including the return of some VB6 features. And we have the perfect book to help you make the conversion: Visual Basic 2005 Jumpstart. Now, you can test-drive the beta version of VB 2005 with three hands-on projects that enable you to learn the syntax of this new language quickly.

Visual Basic Shell Programming

Authors:J.P. Hamilton
Pages:392
Publisher:O'Reilly
ISBN-13:9781565926707
Description:
Visual Basic's outstanding set of resources for rapidly developing stand-alone applications doesn't include shell extensions for integrating those applications or their data files with the Windows shell. Typically, such extensions as customized context menu handlers, per instance icons (such as a data file icon that's based on the contents of the file), and customized property sheets are written in C++, and all of the available documentation focuses on using C++ for shell extensions. But even C++ programmers find the task rough going, given the woefully inadequate state of the documentation. Very few programmers know that writing shell extensions is not tied to a single language or development environment, and that Visual Basic is an excellent tool for creating shell extensions that more closely tie an application to the Windows shell. That, however, is precisely the focus of Visual Basic Shell Programming. It shows how to take advantage of shell services to develop shell extensions and it provides the basic documentation needed for accomplishing this. Each major type of shell extension gets attention,
