    Most larger data bases use 2 programs and sometimes more. The back end is where the data is stored. The front end is the user interface and most likely will be a custom or semi custom program from a different company. Depending on what all you need from the data base it's not all that hard to...

    The system I mess with uses oracle on the back end and a custom program on the user interface. It’s just a DBA job with nutrition tossed in. The worst part of the job is how it interfaces with the electronic medical records. I do a little bit of programming, but not much. There are 2 DBA’s...

    Why Isn't Good Cheap Internet Available Everywhere?

    My only other choice is 10 Gbps for $980 a month to be able to stream games like I need to. No thanks.

    Why Isn't Good Cheap Internet Available Everywhere?

    About 5 years ago a group of homeowners got together and got a company to hang fiber on our road. We all had to sing a long contract and it's been sold a few different times due to the dark fiber lines in the bundle. Right now I'm paying $4,126 a year for 2.5 Gbps. I think I have an option for...

    I just paid off my car loan. I go to a tax man 3 times a year to deal with the streaming and my eCommerce store. I can do simple taxes, but have not tried to do business taxes yet. My tax man likes to look over everything and he wants to make sure I get the right amount in my 401k. At work...

    It looks like 67 for 100% of social security. 62 would be 70%. The car loan is 0.99%. I have this fetish about having a 700+ credit score and every 4 years I buy a new car to get a loan and try to keep my credit score high. I think it's a type of mental illness, but I don't think they have a...

    I do not have a target date. The other day at work people were talking about paychecks so I looked at mine and it was for $27.84. After we all made jokes about it and we started joking about retirement. I opened the retirement thing and saw I could retire soon at 100% and I just keep thinking...

    I was in a bad accident when younger. I was told to put the settlement money into 2040 and 2050 mutual funds, build or find a house that would fit my needs till I die, and a few other things. My plan is to live life to it's fullest every day and to do what makes me happy. I have never truly...

    The fun is all good. I had just woken up and know better that posting that early in my day. I will start tracking all my spending better. I have no idea what I have in my IRA. I do know I write a check for it twice a year for what every my tax man tells me to write it for. They do send...

    I just turned 40, single dad, have a 18 year old on her third year at collage (she's planning on 18 more months), and I'm $14,000 in "dept" (new van). I have been maxing out my IRA for the last 15 years. I do not know how much is in the account. $545,000 in 2040 mutual funds. $855,000 in...
