Hi Craig
It may well be optimistic anyway(!), but if Connie can do one database
OK, then doing 17 shouldn't take proportionally longer, which is perhaps
what you feared.
Visio (Professional, let's hope they gave her Professional) can read the
details of a SQL database and produce a visual schema automagically, so
it's not like she's got to chart them manually.
And standard HP3000 tools let you generate SQL views of TurboImage
databases, for Visio to chomp on.
So in principle, the whole thing can be automated, and once the first
database is done, establishing the principles and procedures, the other
16 should be able to be processed tolerably quickly.
Of course, principle isn't reality, and no doubt one or more of the
databases will throw up a few glitches :-)
But doing 17 databases certainly shouldn't take 17 times as long as
doing one.....
