Microsoft Jet Database Engine[edit]

This is reasonably thorough. What else should I cover? - Ta bu shi da yu 07:09, 15 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Since Jet is discontinued (I thought it was still alive.. I guess I need to pay more attention to stuff *smiles*), perhaps some information on how it differed from the current engine and other DB-engines from other companies?

References in the article, as opposed to the talk-page.. but I know you know that *smiles*

Perhaps the differences between the various generation of Jet and other DB-engines could be set up as a table, making it easier to grasp for someone like me?

Pictures are always good.. I like pictures. Not entirely sure if there is any picture that can illustrate an article about a DB-engine thought.

Otherwise, good job. A reasonable easy read, espesially when one consider the subject. WegianWarrior 07:24, 15 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I don't think there is actually any pictures that can describe the Jet engine... will have a look around though. - Ta bu shi da yu 00:18, 19 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This is a very technical sounding article that doesn't make a lot of sense to me, as a layperson. For someone who doesn't understand the terminology it seems just like a lot of jargon. For example: Jet 2.0 was released as several dynamic linked libraries (DLLs) that were utilised by application software, such as Access. The three dlls that comprised Jet 2.0 were the Jet DLL, the Data Access Objects (DAO) DLL and several external ISAM DLLs. I can't tell from that sentence why any of that is significant. This article is also a little short, so maybe it could be expanded by explaining the architecture in more detail and plain language. Cheers --malathion ^talk 05:01, 16 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the feedback... I have expanded this somewhat. I'm not sure what else to add to the article, however. Any more information should be added to the DAO article, and we have an ISAM article already. - Ta bu shi da yu 00:18, 19 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
