Refactoring - Improving the Design of Existing Code
Steve Hayes
Khatovar Technology
Refactoring is one of a group of methodologies which is changing
the way many programmers work. It is a set of techniques that
allow you to feed your improved understanding of the problem
domain, architecture and programming idioms back into your
existing code. It lets you make your programs better over
time rather than worse, which is the usual case.

Versioned Database Access with Interbase Mathias Burbach
How do you create an IB database that allows you to access
the content of a table with its history? How do you create
a normal record set out of a change log using stored procedures?
This session will show you how, and also cover an administrative
tool to maintain table definitions and establish referential
constraints, and to create the stored procedures to select,
insert delete and update data from the versioned table.
