Databases
The first database I worked with was IMAGE on the HP-3000 mini-computer. I used
this database to manage the Student Records system at the College of Southern Idaho
for about eight years.
While working at the College, I found a need for a similar database on the newfangled
"Personal Computers" we were starting to use around the campus. In response to this
need Chuck Todd and I wrote a clone of the Image database that ran under Borland's
Turbo Pascal. This version of IMAGE was used to handle accounting at the City of Kimberly
for many years, as well as cash register polling at numerous locations around the
Magic and Wood River Valleys. It is still in use for some cash register polling applications.
When I started web programming with PHP, the default database was MySQL, so I have used it
extensively in numerous web sites designed and hosted by Internet Marketing Specilists. In
the past, this database was used for Con Paulos, Stouder Holsteins and Impact Radio. Currently
the only project I have using MySQL is the Magic Valley Astronomical Society web site.
I have done quite a bit of web programming for
Natserv Inc., a New York city company. These
projects have included inventory for a food import house, a quarterly report generator
system for a financial manager, and a control panel for an ISP. All of these projects
use the PostgreSQL database.
