RE: looking for doc with diagrams on redo and undo for java devel opers

Ryan,

Explain to them that it's like tearing a house completely down and rebuilding it just to add one room.

See if they get that concept.

I'm really starting to dislike some java developers. They think that they are the cat's-ass and that everyone else is just plain stupid. Either that, or they are too freekin lazy to do it the right way. If the developer took the time to create an "update all" object, then he should have taken the time to update only what needed updating.

Note everyone - that I said "some" java developers.

Subject: looking for doc with diagrams on redo and undo for java developers

Object Oriented programming is all about reuse so our java guys made a universal update statement that updates all columns in a table, even unchanged columns. I know its bad, but its a major re-write to change this. I was digging through the otn docs and some books and everything that leads me to this requires a significant amount of reading. Multiple chapters etc... anyone know a short article that explains undo and redo along with diagrams and why its bad to update unchanged columns that is easy for a non-oracle person to follow?

checked the concepts doc, but they would probably have to read 50-70 pages to get the basic idea.
