QweryBuilder 5.3.0 Released
Dec 31
Werysoft is very excited to announce the release of QweryBuilder 5.3.0.
5.3.0 contains some very significant changes. Prior versions had
connection information on the applications main toolbar. This has been
moved to the individual query windows. We felt that this made it easier
to know which data source a query window was connected to. In addition
to this, we concentrated on making this the most stable and bug free
release to date. Our goal was to remove all bugs...and for the most
par...

Try rebooting
Feb 1
Caution: This is another fluff-piece just like "When did Google become perfect?"... it's not in the same league as deep-thought articles like, for example, those by Glenn Paulley and others... heck, it's not even in the same sport.But sometimes shallow thinking is called for... like when you're faced with some bizarre computer problem that just won't go away when you wave a dead chicken over the keyboard. That's when "try rebooting" comes in to play.I remember the first time I had reboot power o...

OMIGOSH! Proxy tables are FAST!

Normally, everything about a SQL Anywhere Beta is Super Secret Stuff but Sybase has given me explicit permission to publish this article.There are strings attached: I have to tell you where to go (to get the Beta ...why, what did you think I meant? :)I have to tell you that I received explicit permission from Sybase to publish this.I have to tell you the Beta is Super Secret Stuff... that the Beta agreement does not normally allow articles like this. There, all done, twice.OK, got that? Here's t...

When did Google become perfect?
Jan 15
This problem had been bugging me for years: I couldn't figure out how to use wonderfully-modern Wordpad instead of awkwardly-ancient Notepad to edit *.bat files.So this morning I just bit the bullet, typed my question into Google...how do I change the default editor for batch filesCheck it out, see how stupid I feel now, not at the answer, but that sometimes when I have a question Google is not the first thing I try.That's just dumb.How long has this interweb been going on?

Crosstab, Rotate, Pivot
Jan 11
Shameless promotion, that's what the title is all about: Include all the keywords anyone might use when asking this question:Question: How do I rotate a table so that different row values in a single column become different columns in a new table?Answer: I could have sworn I talked about this years ago, but apparently not... at least not anywhere people can find it.Is that a subtle dig at the NNTP newsgroups? Yes, I'm sorry, it is... I'll try to be less subtle: NNTP sucks, the days of the newsgr...

PowerBuilder 11.5 and strong-named .NET Assemblies
May 13
Another new feature in PowerBuilder 11.5 is the ability to generate strong-named assemblies for any of the four .NET targets (Web Forms, Windows Forms, .NET Web Services or .NET Assemblies). What does this mean?Well the Help file says this:A strong name consists of an assembly's identity—its simple text name, version number, and culture information (when provided)—plus a public key and digital signature. It is generated from an assembly file using the corresponding private key. The assembly file...

More on Graphs in PowerBuilder 11.5
May 10
Last week I posted a screen shot of the new 3D Rendering capabilities being added to some of the 3D graphs in PowerBuilder 11.5. It was met with mixed reviews on the PowerBuilder Futures newsgroup (forums.sybase.com) so I went back to the drawing board to see what I could come up with. Apparently there are quite a few configuration settings one can set programmatically to render better looking graphs. For example, the primary color scheme default can be changed by making a couple of function cal...

PowerDesigner 15 First Impressions
Sep 18
The PowerDesigner 15 beta just ended last week. This means we are getting close to the release of PD 15. I still have good friends in the PowerDesigner marketing, sales, engineering and support organizations so I have an unfair advantage when it comes to finding out what is coming next in the PowerDesigner product. Most of you, I realize, do not have these kinds of contacts. Even with these contacts I have found that the best way to get a head-start on new PowerDesigner versions is to get on ...

The Napa Valley Marathon was run on Sunday, March 1st, 2009. 26.2 miles of the most gorgeous countryside in the world.

The new plan is to hold several regional events around the world, so instead of a single 5-day conference somewhere in the US, there will be 5 shorter events held at international locations.

Calling .NET Web Services from PB11.5

On the eve of this historic event – the Inauguration of Barack Obama as our 44th President – I thought it only fitting to provide a post that combined PowerBuilder with Politics… The web service in question serves up a random quote from our incomparable, (and soon to be unemployed) 43rd President, George W.

Do you miss ObjectCycle?
Jan 14
Ah, the good old days of PowerBuilder 6.5…
It was a rock solid release, every consultant that could drop two commandbuttons on a window was making crazy money, and PowerBuilder shipped with it’s own Source Control package named ObjectCycle. It wasn’t a fancy integrated behemoth like Borland StarTeam or Rational ClearCase, but it was tightly [...]
