Using Constant/Enumerators for DB Actons

1 comment

Hello,

 

I observed that you are using values for database action like:

1 for Add

2 for Edit

etc.

 

Instead of this we should use Constants/Enumerators. For example for Add we can create a Constants/Enumerators variable called dbAdd (DB_ADD) = 1

 

It is easier to read such variables and understand instead of values.

 

Just my thoughts....

Hi Yogi,

 

we have "played" with this idea when moving from v1 to v2; some of our licensees suggested it.

But since many of our licensees are ex Clarion developers, [1,2,3] is "deeply embedded" in their minds - and in ours also !!!

Note that this type of coding is also in the Business Object Roles; but we have an enumeration for these values [enBusinessObjectRole is Enumeration] in the project code.

 

Regards

    Great Product

    Thank You Steven, The a360 Documentation explains the data model very well. I can see that a lot of work went into the documentation. it’s clear and to the point. I will spend more time on the documentation first in the future. I’m impressed with the product, quality and meticulous approach. Andre

    Question/Suggestions

    Document assembly : Will you be considering document assembly in the documentation section for example, merging customer and supplier data with certain standard documents? Transaction history : How will you deal with transaction history in the data model and interface for example, transactions from previous years etc? Archiving : How will you deal with transactions to archive from the system after some years and maintain data integrity?
