"the spelling is done that way to avoid antispam software." Really? How exactly does that work? The saddest part is that other people who are not tech-savvy or generally savvy may fall for these tricks and end up losing all the money in their accounts for some silly scam like this one. The "coolest" part about the email is when they say that the information is private and confidential, ensuring that whomever falls for the scam will keep his/her mouth shut, thus enabling their schemes.

Database question

Hello folks Checkout this scenario Table 1 columns -> | table_1_id (pkey) | some_column | comments | Table 2 columns -> | table_2_id (pkey) | some_other_column | table_1_id (fkey) | comments | All primary keys are of type serial or auto number. The 3rd column on Table 2 is an fk that references Table 1's primary key. I would like to insert rows into both programmaticaly (from a c++ app) Do i have to insert to table one then SELECT-query the entry's primary key then insert the Table 2 row with the pkey result? Is there a more efficient way of handling this? Say using almost 2 queries? PS. A postgresql specific solution would also work

ASP.NET(VB):Gridview data into Javascript function
by Edwin Wambua 19 Jan '11

19 Jan '11

Hi all , A quick one here.I need to display events from a database into a jquery calendar(fullcalendar <http://arshaw.com/fullcalendar/>).To cut a long story short,the simplest solution I've come up with is to integrate the calendar into an aspx page with a grid view (there are other methods to do this,but they are not working here) then pass the values from the gridview rows into a javascript function that will display the events in the form=events: [{title:'event1',start:'StartDate',end:'Enddate'}]. Question(s): (a)How should I go about this? OR (b)Has anyone here tried to implement the fullcalendar<http://arshaw.com/fullcalendar/>(or a similar jquery calendar) in asp.net(vb) including using the method explained here<http://jake1164.blogspot.com/search/label/FullCalendar>and it worked? Regards, Developer switching from php to asp.net
