Problem Database Applications Print

Have you ever encountered the problem of the database application that looks oh so pretty but it just doesn’t deliver? The aggregate reports are garbage and the performance is dodgy. It’s easy to enter data but a misery to get meaningful data out. Yes...well the first thing I would do is look at the database structure where the actual data lives. It’s a bit like looking over a house you are thinking of buying. If the roof leaks, there’s rising damp, the main walls are cracked and the plumbing drips and smells, unless you are prepared to rebuild you would be better off running away now.

Rethrowing Exceptions in .Net Print

Look at the following C# code:

 try
 {
     //some code where you call another class
     //or another function and it raises an exception
  }
 catch (SomeException e)
 {
     //Log the exception, or something
     throw e;
 }

Looks OK? In fact, using throw e in the last line will destroy the stack of the exception; the information about where it was originally raised (in the other class or function) will have vanished.
