I've been away from Delphi for about 8 years (long story). I've gone from Delphi 5 Enterprise to Delphi 2010 Professional. It's quite a big jump. I'm blogging about my experiences if you care to check it out. Cape Cod Gunny Does Delphi.

The coolest part about being away for so long is this... It's as if I was given another chance to go back in time and do it all over again. You can bet I won't be making the same mistakes this time, just new ones. ;-)

May 1	comment	Do I really need to keep .LDF files? If the reporting database seems to be corrupt we restart the update database task that normally runs at night. We usually don't have to do this very often. Now I need to go read up on bulk logged recovery... thanks Shark.

May 1	comment	Do I really need to keep .LDF files? Okay, but what purpose does an .ldf file serve if there have been no updates?
May 1	comment	Do I really need to keep .LDF files? Unfortunately I can't set the database to READ_ONLY. We may need to create a view to help support our reporting capabilities.

Aug 1	comment	Whether or not to create separate tables for different product types? That's not how you phrased your question. Quote: "For instance, a Model can have many options and a option can have many models. An option can also have many parts and a part can have many options... and so on..." At this poin I suggest you create spreadsheets that mimmick your table layout and fill them with data. This will expose any weaknesses that may exist.
