  • Isn’t it strange that it’s when I need to focus on one particular subject at work that ideas regarding the other matter, the database and what ever revolves around it, start flooding in whereas I’d certainly need creativity in my present project. *le sigh*.
    I, now, have a more precise idea of how I want the database to evolve in a more or less near future:

    • Exporting from PDF to XML.
    • Retrieving data into the database so as to have a mere copy of the non conformance in question.
