I'm posting this to both Retrolist and Baseball Databank. Apologies to those who get it twice. I was aware of the problem of unbalanced statistics in distant...
Cliff - See post 2977 for some information on discrepancies in the data. In short, there are quite a few cases where individual totals don't add to the team...
I was on the Diamond Mind Baseball forums and they were talking about a ballpark generator program. They told me that it should be available with this group....
I'm not familiar with a 'ballpark generator'. What we have in this group is ballpark data, from which you can calculate park factors for any Diamond Mind...
... So I see, and one of the earlier posts tells how you've been going about this. (Not that I really understand what you mean by scripts.) Then my questions...
Cliff - I'm not sure if anyone else (other than Retrosheet efforts) is working on this. Regarding your other question, I think fixing problems in earlier ...
I've been meaning to bring this up for a while, and Cliff's recent post reminded me again. My question is, how much value is being placed on data compiled...
... There is an important distinction to be made between PBP associated with a post-season or all-star game (for which no official dailies exist) and the PBP...
... I think the question is how to set priorities, including where it is worth doing at all. We (bb-db) should have a guide to major league statistics that...
Hi, I'm new to this list and was just curious as to what software people use to store their baseball data and how extensive of systems are used. I'm personally...
... used. ... Software and format must depend on the nature of the data, of course. You generate, en masse, alternative values for records and fields in the...
I was actually wondering what type of database software was generally being used. For instance if MS Access was prevalent or if something more robust was...
I've always used MS Access to work with this database, but I believe there are others who use, as you put it, 'something more robust', although I'm not sure...
I use mysql. I've got little experience with MS Access, so I can't make a comparison, but I've never had any problems with mysql. -John ... I use mysql. I've...
... I use MySQL. It lets work on FreeBSD, Linux, Mac OS X, and even carry my database around on my Sharp Zaurus (PDA). One sub-project I'm working on is...
Actually I was just curious what other people used and how extensive any systems they built are. I'm personally using an Oracle 9i database with Oracle Forms...
... As for systems, I just have the stock BDB right now, but am not really making use of it. I have my own Japanese baseball database that runs my web site....
As someone who was working for Microsoft as a support engineer for Excel and later Access when 2.0 shipped, I can tell you with confidence that 2.0 was...
... I work with Oracle all the time, but I use Access most of the time. Access is incredibly user-friendly, and is also great with file export/import. It's a...
... To express another viewpoint, I work with baseball data (Retrosheet, Lahman, BDB, etc.) exclusively in Oracle, and can't imagine doing what I do in Access...
In response to both responses to my response... I completely agree that Access is blown out of the water - as is Paradox, FileMaker, and every other consumer...
... Much of what you are asking for here is available in the book "Baseball Hacks" by Joseph Adler, which has already been mentioned. I don't think it ...
... I am presently writing an article that shows how to get the BDB information into PostgreSQL and load the Retrosheet data into MySQL and PostgreSQL. This...
With regards to Oracle, M$ wisely never positioned Access as a competitor to anything from Oracle. As Oracle's database cost about $5K per seat more than...
... I think another option is SQLite[1], which is very fast and perfect for small queries. I did the conversion a couple months back, and have an SQLite...
... Agreed. They were addressing totally different markets. ... While I agree that Access is easier to learn and was (and probably is) superior in usability,...
I find PostgreSQL to be a fine database as well, getting you partway to Oracle. It's stable and has lots of extensions for custom datatypes and etc. Is...
Off the Oracle Technology Network full-featured software can be legally downloaded. I downloaded the full version of Oracle 9i (database and application...
