Yes and do not think that information will not leak and be misused. It has happened in Great Britain recently.If the govt has a DNA database and if the govt controls healthcare, can they decide who gets what treatment?
I would rather the government be in charge of who gets what treatment than continue to let insurance companies make the decision...
their decisions are based on profit, at least the government would base it on feasibility.
(for all the clamor against universal medicine, all of the same problems are attributed to insurance companies)
Thats great, Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Aetna, etc all deny transplants for CHILDREN if they feel (the ins co's) that there is a cheaper alternative....
This is no different than what happens here, we just pay 20% in profit to get the same and we also have 40,000,000 uninsured in the process.If the govt has a DNA database and if the govt controls healthcare, can they decide who gets what treatment?
Of course they could. The right question would be whether or not they would. But, considering that we already provide those that don't pay into the system and those in prison with quality healthcare, I would say they wouldn't discriminate.
Yes and they will , it all ready happens in countries with socialized medicine. If you are above a certain age and get certain cancers , they will not treat you , because its not worth it cost wise.
Well, private insurance already decides if you get treatment or not.
I would check into HIPPA.

How can i display my query result fron a mysql database into a vb 6?do i have to use some controls?
You can Databound Grid Control for that. You can also use DataBase and Recordset Objects to do it programaticaly
What position typically controls an organization database?
What position typically controls an organization database?
Is it the Database Administrator? the Department Directors? The Executive Director? The CEO? The Board?
I need some input here, I just started a new job as The Database Admin. with a company whose database is very large and has had many hands in it with zero consistency. It is going to be a huge job to clean it up. I have been told it is my job to clean up the data base but I do not have the authority to change the way things are being done. Hence, one of the problems the way things are currently being done is why the data is not reliable. I have informed the Directories of this situation, their response was, the way things are being done is working, so let's not fix anything that's not broken.
I cannot quit I need a job and in this economy I.T. jobs are hard to find. Any suggestion on how to handle this situation?What position typically controls an organization database?
Dave,
You are correct that the DBA (Database Administrator) is the primary controller for the organization database. That includes how the database is structured, performance, and so on. The data, however, is controlled by the users and the adding, editing, and removal of data should be in the hands of the community.
In your situation, you are trying to cross the boundaries into the data. I would suggest producing some suggested changed and include a value proposition to the end user. There is no use saying that their data problems make your job difficult. Instead, attack the problem with a cost saving measure or a profit making measure. This is all VPs care about at the end of the day. If you can show them the value of changing their ways, things will be much easier.
On the database side. Make your life easier by creating better referential integrity between data tables and automated cleanup scripts.
Best of luck!What position typically controls an organization database?
Well, maybe you're in a situation where you have to demonstrate what you want to do. This is a suggestions and nothing more, so my advice is worth what you pay for it. ;-)
Build a new database schema (on ';paper';, first) based on the improvements you want to make. Then, create the new database an tables, and extract some of the existing data from the existing database and import/install it into the new database. Then preview it to management; maybe get the web development guys to gen up some web-based access to show how it works (I'm reaching here, since I don't know the details of your site).
If you demo to them the improvements you can make with small chunks of data, you might be able to sell them on a complete makeover. Also, explain to them that you can do it in parallel to existing operations and test with users are go build it out.
Good luck. Sounds like you have a real challenge. Don't get discouraged.
I don't mean any offense by this, and I apologize if I'm wrong...but you sound like you are relatively new to the IT professional world, am I right?
The only reason I say this is because everyone deals with this kind of thing. My first IT job was as a systems developer, I showed up with a million and one great ideas for how everything should work (all learned dutifully in college). I was set to optimize, normalize and standardize everything I could get my hands on.
It took me a few days to come to the reality of things:
1st, NOTHING is as it ';should'; be, according to what you've learned in regards to best practices.
2nd, that is the main reason why you have a job.
3rd, If 3 out of 5 people you work with are certifiably competent in their job function, you are one of the lucky ones.
And finally, if it's working, management will hesitate to change it. Larger companies usually have so much that is just plain broken, or crippled, they don't have the time or money to send their talent chasing after issues that ';work';, even if they do so with all the elegance of a drunken elephant.
All I can say is: You get used to it.
You're right not to go searching for another job...you'll likely find this type of environment nearly anywhere you go.eye color

Problems running Access Databases! Locking/inability to control and maintain, and manage users, the growth?
Can I migrate to SQL 2000 or 2005?Problems running Access Databases! Locking/inability to control and maintain, and manage users, the growth?
You can migrate to SQL 2000 or 2005. You can even start using Oracle, as a vamp yahoo user told you to. But the question is, do you really need to migrate?
The locking/inability problems are solved in the Access Startup Menu, where you can set things like refresh time interval between a change in a record made by a user and the time need to the change to be seen across all access database users. Have you explored all the Access database features?
Speaking of my experience, I have a small Access database with about 20 000 entries, and no such problems are happening with me.Problems running Access Databases! Locking/inability to control and maintain, and manage users, the growth?
Note that you can migrate the *data* to SQL 2005, even the free version, and continue to use Access as a front end for queries and to develop applications.
If you are developing applications, you should look at the free version of Visual Basic 2005. It's an easy way to write simple database applications.
Dear, I'd suggest Oracle ;)
MS-SQL 2000/2005 is your easiest migration path.
for other options:
Oracle or Postgres would outperform and MS-SQL Solution
MySQL is ok for quick projects but won't scale as reaily as Oracle of PG
Obviously you should go to a more heavy duty database. You will get suggestions based on preferance but SQL 2005 or Oracle should resolve your problems as Access is not a good choice for multi-user scalable databases.

Solution to gun control: Bullet Database?
Before a gun can be sold, it first has to be fired the bullet collected and entered into a national database.
We have a national fingerprint database why not a bullet database?Solution to gun control: Bullet Database?
But my fingerprints are not put into that database until I commit a crime and processed for charges or become a civil servant of sorts.
So leave me, my guns, and my ammo to ourselves.
What part of shall not be infringed do people not understand.
Gun Control Defined.......
A theory espoused by some people; who claim to believe, against all logic and
common sense, that a violent predator who ignores the laws prohibiting them from robbing, raping, kidnapping, torturing and killing their fellow human beings will obey a law telling them that they cannot own a gun.
http://www.youtube.com/user/DOUGandFRIEN鈥?/a>Solution to gun control: Bullet Database?
It's been tried in New York and Maryland. After a few years, the police departments were begging the state legislators to repeal the law. It was costing them millions of dollars to maintain the database and not one single crime had ever been solved by it. They have much better uses for the money.
The reason it doesn't work is there's no such thing as a ballistic fingerprint. The patterns on your fingers are built into your body and they don't change. Guns are just pieces of metal. They wear and change every time they're fired. Two bullets fired from the same gun with five hundred rounds between them won't match. If you're in a hurry, running a piece of sandpaper down the barrel a few times will have the same effect.
Further, criminals buy their guns on the black market, not from gun shops. So, even if the gun is in the database, its information won't point to the criminal, only the last legal owner.
Barrels are easily changed, in many pistols, removing the barrel is part of the cleaning process. I can change the barrel in a Colt 1911 in under one minute, and replacement barrels can be had for as little as $30. In fact, I know people that keep spare barrels around so that if they shoot someone they can dispose of the used barrel.
From a more practical point, a match of a bullet to one in the database would prove only one thing, that the barrel in the gun at the time of the shooting was from a particular lot of barrels. A barrel is made by drilling a hole through the barrel blank, and then drawing a tool known as a broach to cut the rifling. These tools will cut hundreds of barrels without substantial wear, so the only thing that could be said about that bullet is that it came from manufacturer X, and was made between date Y and date Z. In other words, it is one of about 1000 to 3000 barrels.
As to your database, several states in the union have a law requiring a fired case to be sent to the state police when a new gun is sold. These fired cases are then supposed to be used to allow a trace of the gun in case of a crime. This has been going on for over a decade, and to my knowledge, no crime had ever been solved by matching one of these cases. This system has had an impact on crime in one way, it has taken money and manpower off the street, undoubtedly increasing crime. It has also worked as a tax on all honest law abiding citizens, which in my eyes is criminal.
If you want to effect a reduction in crime, call your local DA and insist that he apply all laws relating to the criminal using a gun. In most cases these laws are the first that are plea bargained out.
Unless someone commits a crime or goes into the military or works for the government they aren't in the national fingerprint database. Your proposal makes the assumption that all guns are potential crime tools. Seems like unreasonable search and seizure to me, yet another attack on the Bill of Rights.
Unfortunately the criminals don't buy their guns from legitimate gun shops and they're the people who need their guns taken away, not the average hard working, tax paying, law abiding citizen. So the billions that would go into that program would be a waste of money because probably 99% of those bullets tested will never surface in a crime.
The states nor general government needs a database on gun owners.
Why not a database of freedom hating liberals.
That's been tried in New York at the state level, with no useful results.
That would be too easy to get around.
Although a gun database would help.
