sgtevmckay 21/12/2008 01:48 Just utlized the new MS SQL Express 2008, with this DB. Works faster and smoother than with the SQL 2005. I am running DB on a Vista 32 system. So yes the DB will work with newer software just fine. N

jrwr00 13/07/2008 15:24 hello feal87, as you can see ive already attacked your fourms, im a natural bug tester, no expect me to point out a ton of bugs,
Language: C# , .Net
Platform: Windows
id: anidbtoanimevisi
This standalone utility will
(1) keep local cache of anime names (downloaded (they update it daily) from anid
(2) search and retrieve anime information from AniDB (using UDF API)
(3) export it to disk and/or AnimeVision database.
Estimated timeline:
1. UDF client layer, flood control and connection mgmt: 40 hours
2. GUI: 2 hours
3. data exporter: 20 hours
(I can work on this approx. 5 hours a week, sorry)
l6;l2;, I was quite busy with life in general. Catching up.
Client state:
1. AniDB title cache is up an working ok. All titles are downloaded from AniDB once. I don't update it automatically at this moment, this can wait. Things left to do: improve search.
2. AniDB anime info cache is up and working with some limitations - images are not downloaded (why bother?) Limitations: it gets all AniDB database fields, no -get-info-by-fieldmask functionality (why bother at this moment?)
3. Client app is still in very basic shape - it starts up, inits title cache, searches for titles (via xpath, so search is limited to exact match case-sensitive) and gets info for selected title from AniDB. For logging I use BitFactory.Logging library which is quite convenient.
Things to do: separate database access objects from AnimeVision project into separate library, refactor for reuse in my client - don't want to do work that other people already did. Implement push-to-db functionality w.variations - update changed fields, update if newer. Polish client app. Generate install. Publish install. Upload code to SourceForge.
