Hacking a Live System
11.19.09
Ok, in my primary support application it turns out that one of the tables that pulls look-up data is basically totally wrong. Since this is a live application, it will take too long to actually redesign the table to work the way the business requires. Today I will start working on changing the dropdown lists to instead pull from an XML file that will store the look-up information that is actually correct.
This is a compromise that I’m willing to accept since it appears that the correct data will only have two to three rows of data in it, and the data will not change much over time.
I still feel a little dirty doing it this way, but I’m going to accept it this time…
