The really sad thing is that he is not only wrong about Access, but wrong about SQLServer as well. Finally, I even had a look at his .Net How To's and was amazed to find he is promoting totally unmanaged code approaches - but I suppose that's a bit like trying to program Access in T-SQL. I was tempted to feedback the word "idiot" but couldn't be bothered. bruce -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Jim Lawrence Sent: Tuesday, 24 January 2006 5:24 AM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: Re: [AccessD] Web designers. Why don't they stick with design? Charlotte, I was very tempted to respond, but given the depth and breath of his lack of knowledge, it seemed like such a waste of time. But I am glad you did. I was indirectly involved in an email fire-fight with Fabian Pascal, the self claimed SQL guru and fundamentalist. I understand, as I bailed early, that the fight went on for over a year and degenerated into just passing insults. (The standard battle over absolutely adherence to the laws of normalization versus database performance.) ...But Good work; someone just had to say something.

Why don't they stick with design? I couldn't resist sending him some feedback on the more egregious errors (like the remark about Access 2000 only supporting simple stored procedures ...) and I'm sure his extreme spam filter will junk it, but it felt good to nail him on a couple of points anyhow, including the need to use different code for Access and SQL Server in .Net. <g> Charlotte Foust -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Gustav Brock Sent: Saturday, January 21, 2006 7:21 AM To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: [AccessD] Web designers. Why don't they stick with design? Hi all, late Friday humour, sort of ... Look what I've found. This guy (I'll state his name just as a warning: Bill Gearhart) seems to be one in an endless row of web designers with no knowledge about how Access works, thus he doesn't know what he is talking about: http://www.aspemporium.com/aspEmporium/tutorials/dontUseMSAccess.asp No doubt, Access is not intended for use as backend database for high-volume web sites but this blurb is so full of factual errors and bad coding examples that it should be abandoned. /gustav -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com This e-mail and any attachments may contain confidential information that is intended solely for the use of the intended recipient and may be subject to copyright.
