Database

One night, I met with one lady, brought me a difficult enough thing to do. A database program that I didn’t do yet and I never did it, and she asked me to print the content. So, that night, I failed to do the task, even though I have tried. That lady said that she would back tomorrow night to try again. So, I didn’t want to fail again in second time, and fortunately I had a friend that he could do it. But unfortunately, printed couldn’t set to particular paper, a patent setting!

In my daily activities, it is my usual to run a database program. In my office, there are some kinds of database program, at least 3 kinds. First, accounting program, Visual FoxPro based compile. Second, Microsoft Access’ based billing system. Then, Biofinger absent program, I don’t know what it based to, but clearly compiled. It is add with SQL Server program.

For compiled program, the setting is patent, so user can’t set it again. But database’s entry still can be exported to do with the other program, such as Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel. In other hand, Microsoft Access based program still can be modified easily and also can be exported easily, too.

In that lady’s program, there aren’t menu in the printed entry result that showed if the entry could be printed in some options, exported, or set the paper. Really patent!

The things that would be confused to people are in database program, the entry could be some aspect, which could be uncorrelated to the result. But then the output is just such a summary of entry data. That made the lady was confused, she enter many data to many form, but the output just a few. She also asked about some data entries, and she said that it was wasted her time to enter many data. But the data that didn’t out were support output data, so it didn’t waste her time.

In addition, she was the first one that printed the data, so it could be some result to compare about the truth of printed result.

One case that could be the example to explain was I enter new patient data. In the form, there are rows to enter job, blood type, and others, that actually the data useless when I enter to patient list, but the data become useful as patient’s information, that maybe needed someday.

To enter database’s data, it was needed accurate and patient. If I enter staff schedule for one month later in finger print absent software, for example. Everyone, in everyday, in one month, has different schedule one another, the entry couldn’t be entered in one task and couldn’t be copied. In the past, when the first time using billing system for hospital’s data system, I had to enter thousands old patient’s data one by one, and I had to find double registered for one person.

Finally, the lady accepted the printed result; with some explain to make her understand. She could to understand it, and I suggested to her if there were her friends that had printed their works too, it could be compared so that it wouldn’t be the wrong task before it were gathered.
