A few days back I tried to execute our database scripts file using java in a plain way but I am not sure how good it is? but I am done with my work with no known issues but still I'm thinking is that right way to parse entair .sql file and pass the each line to JDBC API and ask JDBC API to execute that line of SQL? Here it is the method I used... public boolean executeDBScripts(String aSQLScriptFilePath, Statement stmt) throws IOException,SQLException { boolean isScriptExecuted = false; try { BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(aSQLScriptFilePath)); String str;StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(); while ((str = in.readLine()) != null) { sb.append(str + "\n "); } in.close(); stmt.executeUpdate(sb.toString()); isScriptExecuted = true; } catch (Exception e) { System.err.println("Failed to Execute" + aSQLScriptFilePath +".

This is news to no one. Whether you run a software company with a number of ongoing development efforts or you have a nontech company that hires consultants here and there to provide systems integration, chances are you've bumped up against this problem. Delays, blown budgets, and outright failures are so common in the software world, in fact, that it's hardly newsworthy when a project is years late and millions over budget. In 2003, for example, I flew out to Los Angeles for one of those conferences that Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) occasionally puts on for software developers. At the event, Microsoft made a lot of exciting announcements a...

I found this on Internet worth to read it...I think Author is from Mozilla Labs. These things I believe. These things I believe about software development and user-interface design. 1. Why write code? Software is for humans, not for computers. Software is only as good as the improvement it makes to a human being’s life. Are we making someone’s job easier? Letting them have more fun? Helping them learn? Helping them keep in touch with friends and family? Are we making the world a better place? 2. What do people want? Most people do not want a computer. They don’t even want software. For us software developers, this is a painful truth. If people don’t want a computer, why do they use one? * Email — for writing to other people. * Instant messaging — for talking to other people. * The web browser — for reading what other people have written. * Word processing — for writing something you’re going to print out and show to other people. * Graphics — for creating artwork. To show to ot...

One day all the employees reached the office and they saw a big notice on the door on which it was written: "Yesterday the person who has been hindering your growth in this company passed away. We invite you to join the funeral in the room that has been prepared in the gym". In the beginning, they all got sad for the death of one of their colleagues, but after a while they started getting curious to know who was that man who hindered the growth of his colleagues and the company itself. The excitement in the gym was such that security agents were ordered to control the crowd within the room. The more people reached the coffin, the more the excitement heated up.Everyone thought: "Who is this guy who was hindering my progress? Well, at least he died!" One by one the thrilled employees got closer to the coffin, and when they looked inside it they suddenly became speechless. They stood nearby the coffin, shocked and in silence, as if someone had touched the deepest part...

" "Happiness keeps you Sweet, Trials keep you Strong, Sorrow keeps you Human, Failure keeps you humble and Success keeps you glowing, but only Faith & Attitude Keeps you going...
