What problem does this
project address?
SLIDRET is the SLID (Survey of
Labour and Income Dynamics) data RETrieval system. It was developed to simplify
access to SLID data; users are able to create a dataset according to their own
specifications, without having to understand the internal SLID database
structure.
What are the goals of this
project?
- Update the current SLIDRet software to use the
.NET Framework and SQL Server.
- Refresh the user interface.
- Reduce the query execution time.
- Generate more output file formats (csv, xml, sas).
- Link SLIDRet and ISDTab.
What development methodology
is being used?
- The application will be written using C# and
.NET 2.0.
- The application uses the object-oriented
approach.
- Typed datasets are used to store the DMMS for
portability.
Dependencies:
- SQL Server permissions to the
ISD_SLID_PROC_DATA and ISD_SLID_PROC_NEW_DICTIONARY databases on the
F8ISDSQLDEV server
- Foxpro DBF driver “VFPOLEDB.1“ if user wants
to import queries generated by the older SLIDRet applications
- SAS 9.1. if the user
wants to generate SAS datasets automatically. We actually use the SAS,
SASWorkspaceManager and SASIOMCommon COM references.
- A computer using
- Windows XP or a newer version of Windows (32
bits)
- Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 or a newer
version.
