<p>I'm looking for a Report Designer that will allow me to connect to a RESTful webservice. Ideally I would like one that has a royalty-free End-User Report Designer. WE will be hosting it in an ASP.NET web site. So something compatable with that would be ideal ;)</p>

<p>Web services aren't something you can report on. They're just a source of data. What do you want to connect to and what data are you expecting to get back?</p>
<p>The problem with RESTful web services is you don'... | <p>As it turns out you were right. You can use the XML side of DataDynamics Active Reports to connect to a restful web service.</p>
<p>Instead of pointing the source to a physical file on the drive:</p>
<p>c:\MyXMLFile.xml</p>
<p>you can point it to a restful webservice such as one i created:</p>

<p>Here is my situation:</p>
<p>Table one contains a set of data that uses an id for an unique identifier. This table has a one to many relationship with about 6 other tables such that.</p>
<p>Given Table 1 with Id of 001:
Table 2 might have 3 rows with foreign key: 001
Table 3 might have 12 rows with foreign key: 0... | <p>LEFT OUTER JOIN Tables2-N on Table1</p>
<pre><code>SELECT Table1.*, Table2.*, Table3.*, Table4.*, Table5.*

LEFT OUTER JOIN Table4 ON Table1.ID = Table4.ID

WHERE... | <p>Join all of the tables together.</p>
<pre><code>select * from table_1 left join table_2 using(id) left join table_3 using(id);
</code></pre>
<p>Then, you'll want to roll up the columns in code to format your report as you see fit.</p>

<p>It appears the Python signal module doesn't have anything similar to the sighold and sigrelse functions found in C, using signal.h. Are there Python equivalents of <em>any</em> sort?</p>
<p>Many thanks!</p>
| <p>How sure are you that calling a member function via a pointer is slower than just calling it directly? Can you measure the difference?</p>
<p>In general, you should not rely on your intuition when making performance evaluations. Sit down with your compiler and a timing function, and actually <em>measure</em> the di... | <p>Sounds like you should make <code>callFoo</code> a pure virtual function and create some subclasses of <code>A</code>.</p>
<p>Unless you really need the speed, have done extensive profiling and instrumenting, and determined that the calls to <code>callFoo</code> are really the bottleneck. Have you?</p>

<p>Design patterns are great in that they distill a potentially complex technique into something idiomatic. Often just the fact that it has a name helps communication and understanding.</p>
<p>The downside is that it makes it easier to try to use them as a silver bullet, applying them to every situation without thinki... | <p>I have an application that I maintain that uses a provider pattern for just about everything -- with little need. Multiple levels of inheritance as well. As an example, there's a data provider interface that is implemented by an abstract BaseDataProvider, that is in turn extended by a SqlDataProvider. In each of ... | <p>Well, to share a bit of experiance. In C#, I had a nicely cool design which used lots of pattern.. I really used lot of them so to make the story short, I won't name it all. But, when I actually tested with real data, the 10^6 objects didn't "run smoothly" with my beautiful design. And by profiling it, I just saw th... | 48,861 |
