End User Ad-Hoc Reporting Tool: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio or Microsoft Access? -

-

Our centralized IT department has suggested two primary ad hoc query tools for our general user base of approximately 200 staff members.

  • Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 2008 (SSMS)

  • Microsoft Access 2003

    • environment

    • Backend database is the only Microsoft SQL Server 2005 database to read.

    • The schema is 400+ tables; Permission for access to raw data for our normal staff would be a disaster.

    • We will create an "abstract layer" on raw data to run immediate questions for our general staff.

    • The intangible layer can have the most possibilities.

    • Many users have basic knowledge in Microsoft Access; No one has used SSMS.

    Which of the above tools (or alternatives) would definitely be the best for the user base of non-technical approximately 200? What are the pros and cons of each?

    In addition to this, the IT department has suggested to teach T-SQL people so that they can use SSMS. is it fair?

    The correct approach to take with your "intangible layer" access is to connect an MDB with a basic view Required and distributes to users.

    Now how are you going to stop them from joining tables with a million records or more, I am not sure about it.

    c# - How to capture HTTP packet with SharpPcap -

    -
    I would like to capture all incoming HTTP packets on my machine. To do this, I am using SharpPcap which is a WinPcap The cover is. SharpPcap works very well, but it captures TCP packets and what it wants to do for me is a very low level. Does anyone know how can I easily get full HTTP requests / reactions from all these TCP packets? Thanks SharpPcap is already able to capture the packet in the same way That's what the virus does (just in the code instead of the GUI). And you can either either parse them directly or you can put them in the drive in the common .pcap file format. The steps to parse the capture are: Open a connection at any time Loop a while Or start capturing using an event callback Parsing the raw packet for the type you want If you are reading .PPP dump files In addition to calling you an offline capture reader is almost the same, there is no need to select an interface, and you can set the majority There is no need to do the modes. All st...

    jquery - SimpleModal Confirm fails to submit form -

    -
    I am trying to confirm jQuery to show yes / no confirmation when I submit a form. I had modified (in the last list) to capture and block form submissions. However, it only works with jQuery 1.2.6, a recent upgrade stops 1.3.2, if yes is clicked, then by submitting the form. But I can not understand what is wrong / inconsistent in my code now. Demo (which works in both versions of a simple window.href implementation). $ (document) .ready (function () {$ ('input.delete'). Click (function (e) {e.preventDefault (); var target = $ (e .target); Confirm ("Really delete this event?", Function () {target.click ()});});}); How about something like this? The idea of ​​catching clicks (and fire!) On the submitted event is not click event. $ (document) .ready (function () {$ ('# myForm'). Submit (function () {var f = this; Confirm (" Remove? ", Function () {$ (f). Submit ();}) Return; Return the initial session;}}}}; Hope That this is som...
