Presentation by Dennis Hyatt to the Progress User Group (25.04.2012 15:30)
Presentation Outline
There will be a short Powerpoint presentation covering the quantity and
organisation of SQL statements in a typical application (no more than 8
slides). An environment for creating and managing the use of such SQL
against a PROGRESS database will be described.
An implementation of the environment will be shown by connecting to a
database and creating a Data Access Layer using a range of SQL statements
against that database. The SQL produced will include single and multi table
SELECT queries, aggregating queries, and queries that include sub queries.
These queries can then be made available for users to navigate and report
on the database. A basic Business Logic Layer using INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE,
CREATE and DROP statements will be written and run. A .NET interface will
be used to create and tie the layers together.
Questions and answers.
The target audience is application developers though the presentation will
be pitched at a technical level such that system administrators would also see
the reporting and management potential of the environment.
