RDBMS
I was told by a friend that he spend up to 30 hours extracting out an ordered file to figure out the best ways to use components.
Told him he should have converted those data files to csv files and import these in a RDBMS.
I didn't convince him. So, I tried my own medecine. Took me about 10 minutes to convert one of those file so that I could load it in a database. I did another couple of files and then started to play with relationships. Hmm.. had fun. I'm a DBA. Of course I prefer to design than to administer so it's always fun to figure things out.
I found a lot of flame-threads with people hinting at programmer's knowledge. I've also read that SE up to Version 2 was written in VB and Delphi afterwards.
Just wondering, was there an effort to use relational databases, either inside malfador or by the mods community?
