The aim of this post is to describe an example Web server. The one which I shall describe is Apache. This is certainly the most popular Web server being used on the Internet at the time of writing.
There are a number of reasons why Apache is popular. The main one is that it is free. […]
In 2000, Microsoft announced what is probably its largest software development programme. It was known as .Net and involved configuring many of its products such as Excel, Word, MS Access together with its supported programming languages such as Visual Basic and C++ so that they are seamlessly integrated with the Internet and with each other.
We’ve become quite casual about the mainstreaming of the Web—we can’t get through a nightly TV news show or morning classical radio program without being told there’s more on a story or a playlist available on the station’s Web site. Pointers in printed marketing, collateral, newsletters, magazines, journals, and books—including this one!—to visit Web sites […]
Website Design Issues
There is a mass of information on factors involved in survey methodology in the context of traditional approaches. At this stage in the development of Web-based surveys, there is very little published research on the factors that will influence design decisions, such as factors affecting response rate, response bias, non-response bias, sincerity of […]

Java Yet more sophisticated interactive designs are possible using Java (developed by Sun Microsystems Inc.), which is now widely available. There are various Java-enabled browsers, such as Netscape Navigator 2.0 and above, Sun’s own HotJava, Opera, and Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Java is an object-oriented programming language that permits animated graphics as well as all the rest […]
Having a unique identifier (UID) to identify a customer across multiple databases is an important—and frequently overlooked—concept. In the traditional world of direct marketing, a combination of name and address, and sometimes telephone number, is normally used to uniquely identify each customer. But because of the likelihood of misspelling names and transposing numbers, this approach […]
The arguments in favor of the Internet sound, at a decade interval, like an echo of those that were previously formulated in praise of the Minitel. This passion for information technology is displayed in a context where ambitious growth rates are not physically sustainable, due to market saturation in rich countries, the progressive depletion of […]
The automation and dematerialization of monetary exchanges are not objectives per se, but are solely means to improve the productivity of financial institutions. In this regard, an overabundance of standards, and sometimes their competition, may constitute a barrier to the establishment of electronic commerce. Even if some manufacturers think they can profit from this situation, […]
Creating a New User to Establish a Connection
Because this is a brand-new Web site, we do not have any users who can access our site. Remember when we created the SQLSpyNetUser?
Now we need to create a new user who has only limited rights. We don’t want anybody hacking the site, now do we?
Create a user […]
In this section we will build a very basic front end that makes a connection to our database, validates a user’s login, and retrieves (searches for) data. Although this is just a start, it will provide the building blocks you need to develop it further for your own needs.
This unlike the others, is more like […]
Shrinking a transaction log is a little different from shrinking a data file. The main difference is when the process occurs.
When a data file is shrunk, the task is performed almost immediately, whereas with a transaction log it is not. The log file is marked, so SQL Server 2000 knows that it needs to be […]
It gives me a chance to rave about some of the cool new functionality in SQL Server 2000. Plus, I can show you some of the things that are not totally relevant to our application but that you definitely will want to know as you continue developing and maintaining SQL Server.
Although the enhancements to the […]

User-defined functions (UDFs) rock! UDFs allow us to create compliant units of Transact-SQL that can return either a scalar value or a table.
A scalar value returns a single value (as our UDF did) of the type we specify in the CREATE FUNCTION statement.
A table returns a table of results. It leverages the new data type […]
SQL Server 2000 introduces the Copy Database Wizard and an enhanced version of the Index Tuning Wizard. Let’s take a look at both of these wizards, starting with the Index Tuning Wizard.
Tuning Indexes
The Index Tuning Wizard will assess your workload and give you suggestions for creating optimal indexes and statistics for your databases. The wizard […]

An instance name is not case sensitive.
An instance name cannot be the terms Default or MSSQLServer.
Instance names are limited to 16 characters.
The first character in the instance name must […]

To finish the development of our Spy Net application, we must install a Web server of some sort onto our machines. We must set up our machine as a Web server so that we can leverage the deployment of the interface. The installation of Personal Web Server (PWS) for Windows 98 is covered in this […]
