Code Standards - developing a manual
Mon, 2007-02-26 16:46 — schlatterI am working on a manual of code standards for my division, and would appreciate input about this. I've incorporated (or adapted) many of the entries from the prolint lists of bugs, style improvement, performance enhancements, etc. Of course this will be a combination of helpful advice, common sense, ways to make the code more readable and re-usable, and ways to prevent problems down the line.
I will appreciate any suggestions or ideas that are sent in.

Tool to report index selection analysis for a query
Sun, 2006-11-19 01:43 — stephenThis tool allows you to enter a query on a table, and reports detailed index selection information for you, including an index tree (of one or more indexes) that the compiler would construct for this query, plus an analysis of indexes for each node of the index tree to help explain why each index was chosen.
The source code for this tool (written in Progress 4GL/ABL V9.1) is included in the download. It is quite heavily commented to help explain all the compiler's index selection behaviour (including how/why multiple indexes are sometimes selected). The UI is very simple so it can be used i

PCT
Tue, 2006-11-07 10:34 — Gilles QUERRETPCT (Progress Compilation Tools) is a set of ANT tasks, designed to compile Progress® procedures and dump/load databases.
PCT is distributed under the Apache License.
This project was born due to the lack of automated Progress® code compiler. PCT is a command-line based tool, so it can be run in batch mode, to generate nightly builds for example. However, as PCT is a set of ANT tasks, your compilation tasks can be run using a graphical frontend to ANT.
