Old war story. Application: data collection from assembly line
quality control robots. Gathering data from IEEE 488 bus. When I had
a few seconds (as the assembly line moved the next piece into position
), I'd probe for the database at the far end, which happened to be on
the manager's desktop. If it didn't find the database, it would
persist to flat files and wait until it could find the database.
Manager went on vacation. His machine stayed off for a week.
Came back Monday, turned his machine on. Every robot on that line
starting shooting its flat file data up the wire. Entire line ground
to a halt until every SQL INSERT had gone off.
LOL, Thanks Dan. That was good for a laugh.
