I'm currently working for 1month to win some money in a company that repair people computer and do a bit of programming.
They've made a software that get every value in a table with SQL and print it.

My boss, gave me as project to make a software that get everything from a database and copy paste it into an another, like a automatic backup system. BUT HE ASKED ME to do it from the last software with Delphi and on Windows XP...

God damn, now i have to remove everything about printing while i was just able to do the software from scratch with C#...

    Why don't you just do this at the server level? If you're just exporting data from one DB into another then the server should be able to automate that. I've only really used Microsoft SQL server, but I'd be surprised if other DB Servers don't provide that functionality.

    We call that legacy support. I'm currently doing it myself, and it too is a pile of shite.

    @delegate212 I hate legacy support then, and it's more horrible when you are on a virtual machine 😂

    Shouldn't you have posed these questions? I know I would have done.

    I mean they might not have known that was a option as you are the developer here. It could have saved you time and the headache of having to piss around with legacy code.
