You are wrong about security. Stored procs are more secure. If you grant a user write permissions to a table, the user can circumvent an application create a linked table in access. If the user only has access to the stored procedure the user can not update the table directly. Since auditing (such as storing the user who does the update in the table) can be coded in the stored proc, they are more secure.

Nick, Pizza looks great! I hope that, in true Monday night tennis and Chicago Blackhawk spirit, a few brews were enjoyed with the cuisine.

Minor error in here…

file = File.new(“my_xml.xml”, “w”)
file = File.write(people.to_xml)
file.close

should be…

file = File.new(“my_xml.xml”, “w”)
file.write(people.to_xml)
file.close

Comment on Bright Future for Dynamic Languages by techwhizbang

I think real programmers know many languages and when to apply them appropriately. I’m sorry, but your comment shouts ignorance and I think you missed the whole point of the post.

Java and C are for men, for real programmers. Keep on writing scripts with your text editor, one day you’ll be ready boy.
