###background

this is my journal of my temporary disability. i hope to share lessons learnt from my experience. my primary focus will be on coding using the following ides: visual studio 2010 (windows xp - yes i know) and vim (osx).

###benchmark

i used the following on-line touch typing test: http://www.typingtest.com/ to assess before my temporary disability and here are the results:

left handed: 20 words per minute full use of both hands: 60 words per minute

	DataTable dt = new DataTable();

	OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection(@"Provider=OraOLEDB.Oracle;Data Source=FOO.WORLD;user id=fubar;password=snafu;PLSQLRSet=1;");
	string sql = @"select foo, bar from snafu";
	try
	{
	conn.Open();
	OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand(sql, conn);
	OleDbDataAdapter da = new OleDbDataAdapter(cmd);
	// you'll automatically get the columns from the select, wildcards work too. also don't go past 16M rows

	// Source: http://www.blackwasp.co.uk/SpeedTestWithStopwatch_2.aspx
	// Use it to compare things like da.Fills vs iterating over an OleDbDataReader.

	using System.Diagnostics;

	namespace StopWatchExample

	class Example
	{

	// sources: http://stackoverflow.com/a/11593/105282

	var results = from r in dt.AsEnumerable()
	select r.Field<string>("foo");

	foreach(var item in results.ToList())
	{
	Console.WriteLine(item);
	}

	// pro-tip: don't believe anyone who says you can use OleDbCommmand to achieve this. You can specify parameters,
	// but ultimately everything is dependant on parameter order e.g.
	// exec usp_Foo @p1=1, @p2=2 - if you use OleDbCommand you need to specify each OleDbParameter.Add in sequence i.e.
	//
	// cmd.Parameter.AddWithValue("@p1", 1);
	// cmd.Parameter.AddWithValue("@p2", 2);
	//
	// also you need to null any values you don't want to pass e.g. if you had @p0 you would need include it otherwise
	// @p0 would get the value of @p1, @p1 would get the value of @p2.
