GSA Technology Council

Despite the hype surrounding XML and web services, the death of the relational database has been greatly exaggerated. Oddly enough, a new data markup language doesn’t magically provide its users with good information design skills. Luckily, all of the skills and best practices you learned while designing relational databases can be quickly applied to XML document design. Join Scott Means (co-author of O’Reilly’s XML in a Nutshell) as he shows how existing database designs can be translated to new XML applications.  For more information please visit the SQL Innovators Group site.

 The SQL Innovators Group will meet at the Greenville main library Thursday, September 11th. The main topic will be installing and using MySQL in a Windows environment. If you are curious about MySQL and want to know how to get started using it or want to meet other database technology professionals in the area, please plan on attending this meeting. For more information please visit www.sqlig.org or, contact Paul Waters or Russ Jester.
