All please bow in the direction of Redmond...
OK, maybe not.
But the story is: I'm developing a database system to keep track of all
physicians, psychologists, institutions, you-name-it who request health
services in our health region (3 counties, 15-20 hospitals). The system is
supposed to be the master for such information, exposing information to
every other health-care system in the hospitals, using web-services,
messages, transaction files - whatever they can use.
The system will be based around SQLServer and Biztalk (for the
interfaces). (Our department IS very MS frienbdly, so I have to use the
tools they give me). I've limited experience with SQLServer, having mainly
worked with Oracle - not for development, and MySQL before.
What impresses me is how far development environments have come (and I'm
not referring particularly to MS Tools, although those are the ones I'll
use for this project. I know there are similar tools out there, I've used
some with MySQL). I've designed the database using Visio which creates the
necessary DDL scripts. All programming of database procedures, the
applications and biztalk is done through one single tool (as it happens VS
studio.net 2003). Things are defeinitely easier than they used to be (but
admittedly not as funny - I still think programming against the win32 API
or X-Windows API is among the most funny things I've ever done. Even
better than playing U7)
Hmm - soon they won't need IT professionals anymore... (Well, they said
the same in 1990, and it hasn't exactly come true).
