vb6 - from access+VB 6 to COBOL -

does know way export data access db cobol code?

thanks

fixed format way go, cobol can read fixed format file.

a simple way create fixed format file in sql dialect (oracle, db2, h2 etc) use sql string functions create single field , export/write query file

ms access example query:

   select left(str([tblid])+space(8),8)       + left(str([tblkey])+space(20),20)       + left([details]+space(30),30)       + "<" exportstring tbl_ti_inttbls;

for cobol best right justify 0 fill , align decimal points of numeric fields.

also if once off can run query in access copy / paste output text editor.

ms access allows define fixed formats , use these input ( export ?) long time since used them (i using them import fixed width data). leave discussion of access expert.

you @ recordeditor (http://record-editor.sourceforge.net/record11.htm) / jrecord (http://jrecord.sourceforge.net/) because

  1. both let view / edit file using cobol copybooks - useful checking export match's cobol definition
  2. both have copybook analysis option (file menu) calculate start / length of fields in cobol copybook
  3. both have copy function copy csv file / cobol file using cobol copybook

note: shameless plug software

i avoid delimited file (in case delimiter occurs in field) if must, use obskure character eg ` or ~ or ^

Javascript line number mapping -

magically formatted comments change reported line number of javascript errors in browsers; this: //@line n "f" n line number , f file name. unfortunately, //@line appears ungoogleable. know there documentation on feature, , browsers support it?

c# - Is it possible to remove an existing registration from Autofac container builder? -

-
something along lines: builder.registertype<mytype>().as<itype>(); builder.registertype<mytype2>().as<itype>(); builder.deregistertype<mytype>().as<itype>() var container = builder.build(); var types = container.resolve<ienumerable<itype>>(); assert.istrue(types.count == 1); assert.istrue(types[0].gettype == typeof(mytype2)); scenario: go through bunch of assemblies , go register types want make sure have 1 implementation of given type. need before create container. track on own nice if autofac me bit. this cannot done directly using containerbuilder , unless start on new one. mind you, having first built container should able construct new container filtering away unwanted types , reusing registrations first container. this: ... var container = builder.build(); builder = new containerbuilder(); var components = container.componentregistry.registrations .where(cr => cr.activator.limittype != typ...

php - Mysql PK and FK char(36) vs int(10) -

-
i have read mysql can handle indexes , searches better if tables keys integers rather char(36) uuid's. is worth converting int(10)? note: use 1 server , have have plans use multiple databases concurrently therefore removing 1 of big reasons using uuid. our tables innodb if makes difference. thanks in advance. usually rdbms can handle integer keys pk more efficient, other datatypes. reason how build index column, yes: long dont require string (or other typed) keys, should use integers. however: char(36) , int(10) far away being equal, because int(10) much smaller, char(36). dont know, if require many different keys, should keep in mind. update, complete last paragraph: int(10) 32-bit, char(36) 36 - ^byte^ (= 288-bit). not mean, int consumes less space, means, char(36) has 4 times more different keys.
