  1. Re:Real time is the key claim on IBM Wants Patent For Regex SSN Validation · · Score: 1

    Try "onkeyup" event, I used this method (~Nov 2007) with javascript routines for validation of user user entry (using regex) for entry of multicast address's etc. I was validating the entry and changing the background of the entry field to indicate valid/invalid data and enabling/disabling of the submit button.

    This is not new, it might not be done in webapps often but we/I used to do this in client-server systems, stop users sumbitting crap/invalid data.

  3. Re:Shoot the developers on Refactoring SQL Applications · · Score: 1

    Agree, once we had a case of developers (cobol) were sorting the data using "Bubble sort" in the main part of the application. The DBA had been through the various tricks (analyzing tables, indexes etc) for a 5% gain, till we discovered what the developer had done.

    One of the big issues is a lot of developer who know OOD know bugger all about databases. What i've found is the the quick to develop apps usually the worst for performance. I come from a development DBA background along with Java and C - the trick is knowing what should be done in each tier and making the best use of the tier.
