Parsing and extending databases is not rocket science, they teach you that in your first semester for Christ's sake.......

I know far more about managing server's, databases, etc, than you would ever give me credit for....

I have a degree as well, in Systems Installations, Had my A+ and dropped it years ago because it isn't worth the paper it is written on. A+ isn't worth a hill of beans unless your working on a Microsoft op system. And very few servers run MS op systems, imagine that..... I took all the Dbase, Sybase, SQL, Cisco, Sun, Oracle, IBM stuff, etc as well.... It was a requirement, not an option.

Oh look, I can fluff my feathers for all to see too.... Whop de do.... no one really gives a shit either, do they.....

You missed the main point thou, and that is the fact that there is no reason to add what is already there. What you eluded to not being there at all. Parsing the database to farm out info, well that is no where near as hard as you claim it is.... If it was, large server stacks would be offline for months versus the few hours it actually takes to rebuild enormous databases for additional entries. And I am talking about databases that would not fit on Daz's and Rendo's servers combined. Just about everything you have said, has been proven to not be the case. You can twist it however you want too, and continue to do so.

What I showed in my previous post, is that system is already in place and that the database structure is already there for a large percentage of the items in the store. I was not suggesting that every single item in the store be done one at a time and have no idea why you would even think that. There is no need to extend the database that already has those slots there to begin with either.

You twisted it to fit your own agenda... Nothing new there either, you do that all the time.... Need to add things to those slots? Well that is not too dam hard to parse out, populate, then add the code so the user can search it either. What would probably have been a better option was enforcing Vendors to populate all the items requested before it was approved by QA. But since that was not the case in the past they either need to ignore the request or do something about it.

They are not ignoring the request. Kristi has already stated that it is basically in the works, but you act like you know far more about it than an actual Admin of this very site. Ironic isn't it, she said in the near future and you claim it is next to impossible to do..... I doubt that Kristi has the time, manpower, or the inclination to do the impossible. But she already recognized a need to do something about it and verified that something is in the works. Contrary to everything you have said....

Stop trying to tell everyone that you are the authority on all things everywhere, because you know very little about it and show that with every post you make.

Yes you may have what it takes to get it done, but you obviously don't know everything about it and it is very obvious to anyone reading this.

Yes, but systems installing and A+ certification isn't a 4 year degree is it? And it has nothing to with programming, data flow diagrams, entity-relations, etc; it's with hardware and OS/network installations. One of my old jobs paid for me to take a few of the A+ courses as well to understand how the corporate network was set up around the application was running. It's totally two different things as a VP at my old job learned when he tried to omit me from designing a online merchansiding store with Intel and included the Network manager instead of me. When it fell apart and they threaten to drop us as a client, who do you think knocked on the President's door and they ended up sending to Intel's headquarters to explain the system, since I was the one who was in charge of the sales ordering system for all products? Like I said, this is what I do.The VP ended up getting fired by the way as I joined the project team officially. So yes I do know what I'm talking about when it comes to product sales systems, so you probably should listen when I say this isn't an easy task.

Back to topic.
