Avalara for Financial Force on Salesforce

Financial Force accounting package for Salesforce does not calculate Sales Tax on Sales Orders. We have been having a lot of issues with tax-related problems on Customer Quotations and Sales Orders within Financial Force objects. The solution was to use another Tax package from Avalara.

Salesforce Currency with more than 2 decimal places

Salesforce is capable of storing currency to more than 2 decimal places at the database or API level. We use Financial Force as our accounting package and use Purchase Orders, Sales Orders, and Sales Invoice for fulfillment and billing purposes. Several of our suppliers use 3rd or 4th decimal points in the item pricing, and this causes our PO and supplier's Sales Invoice not to match final dollar amounts. Is it possible to use additional decimal points in product pricing?

What is the difference between "Primary Key" and "Unique Key" in SQL?

I've had a chance to with a Postgres database and came across a table with two primary keys. This intrigues me to look up a definition of primary and unique key. I always thought there would only be one primary key in a table, and the values have to be unique. But, what I saw in the PostgreSQL v8.1.23 was something otherwise. It allowed duplicate entries, and also allowed multiple primary keys in a table. Is this possible? Yes, it's called composite Primary Keys. Composite primary keys (multiple primary keys) makeup uniqueness in a table row -- which means composite primary keys work together to provide uniqueness.

Malware detected on website

One of the servers we manage has been compromised, and hosting malware according to Kaspersky Anti-Virus software. The site uses a number of open-source applications such as WordPress, Gnuboard, and phpLinkDirectory. We initially thought it would be either the .htaccess or base64_encode exploit, but after close examination, we found that a plain javascript snippet was inserted into one of the Gnuboard include files (bbs/visit_insert.inc.php).

Zend Framework without MVC

The reasoning for using a framework such as Zend Framework (ZF for short) is to speed up the development process, make the application extensible, and make use of the design patterns such as MVC. I think MVC is great, it separates the models, views, and controllers and makes the entire development process very clean. If MVC is great, why would you use Zend Framework without MVC?

Perl string quotation operators (q, qq, qr and qx)

In scripting programming languages such as Perl, PHP, and Python use string quotation extensively. To include a single or double quote inside the string quotation, you'll have to escape the character with a backslash. Perl string quotation operators (q, qq and qx) let you avoid putting too many backslashes into quoted strings.
