c# - Database monitoring application's architecture -


i've been given task develop application monitoring/backuping databases on our servers.

the application should things

  • backup , copy backup @ given time given place(the user can change time , place)
  • send email notifications finished backups @ given time, if error occured, report details
  • all backup parameters should editable
  • read database credentials given place

so thinking of windows service configurable windows forms application. going right direction here ?

there plenty of products designed this. it's easier , way cheaper existing product (with decent support) develop yourself, test it, troubleshoot etc etc. oracle has implemented backup , restore function databases, see introduction backup , recovery.

also, iirc windows service designed not communicate forms (or other way around), suggestion wouldn't work you'd expect. msdn: interactive services. note following text:

services cannot directly interact user of windows vista. therefore, techniques mentioned in section titled using interactive service should not used in new code.

"banner style" seems poor use of space given outline view , quick outline functionality.

php - Why I am getting the Error "Commands out of sync; you can't run this command now" -

the documentation of error mentioned in title says if commands out of sync; can't run command now in client code, calling client functions in wrong order. this can happen, example, if using mysql_use_result() , try execute new query before have called mysql_free_result(). can happen if try execute 2 queries return data without calling mysql_use_result() or mysql_store_result() in between. from here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/commands-out-of-sync.html but in first query not fetching data mysql database, inserting. , in second query getting data database. here code $connection = mysqli_connect("localhost","username","password","tbl_msgs"); if(mysqli_connect_errno($connection)) { die("failed connect mysql: " . mysqli_connect_error()); } $query = "insert users (total_comments, total_views) values ({$total_comments}, {$total_views});"; $query .= "insert msgs (no...
