Scott's winge

I have to admit, I have found connecting to progress using JDBC or ODBC to be unbelievably unstable. The amount of times I've had to code around inadequacies in either the ODBC driver or JDBC driver, makes it almost unusable, and certainly negates the purpose of using ODBC or JDBC (ie able to connect to a different data source without re-writing code).

I guess that Progress was meant to be used with their own 4GL, anything else is a hack.... Use it at your own risk.

Luke's Blog

Luke Drumm
Here is a reference to the BLOG of one Luke Drumm. A .Net guru who has been working with us on the Pocket PC / smart phone version of our software for the past 3 weeks.
Enjoy.

Introduction

Hi, if you've stumbled across this blog, I guess I'd better give you a quick run down of what the hell you're in for.
My name is Scott Baldwin, I am a software developer, but don't hold that against me.
I have been in software for 8 years now, but my interests extend far beyond software. I am becoming more and more politically active as you may see from my other blog "Musings of a morbid mind". My main passion is Argentinean Tango, and I attend the Viva Dance school, (I am also their webmaster).
I have a genuine interest in technology, and ethics, and as such (don't worry if you can't see the link, it's not obvious) I have recently started to delve into the interesting field of Anthropology.
I hope you enjoy some of my postings, and I look forward to your feedback.
