ERWin diagrams are fundamentally important to creating a workable PowerBuilder project. I learned that database design issues span an entire project. The data model changed quite a bit more than anticipated once we started writing the SQL queries. I have learned the most about Oracle and PB by working on the queries, developing some screens and reports myself and beta testing the entire PB application. I think it is very important that someone who thoroughly understands the Req.
Analysis is involved in testing the final products.
By writing Oracle functions on the server, we are giving McIntire a thin client system that should be easy to maintain and easily enhanced. Powerbuilder design was simplified by doing this. Using ForeHelp software to develop winhelp executable files. More than anything else it has given me the confidence that I can pick up a new technology and learn reasonably quickly. Process My experience lies primarily in development and as such I find that I have been lacking experience encompassing the entire life cycle.
