Chapter 257: Something Goes Wrong with the Database
A word of help, of course, Alice agreed unconditionally. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
As for the reason......
Just look at Belém's figure.
The standard figure of 172cm in the metric system, a pair of long legs accounts for 110cm, and the silver hair and the glamorous melon seed face are perfectly matched. Although such a combination is not as good as the Victoria's Secret supermodel, it is exactly the most acceptable beauty appearance of Alice.
"Follow me. ”
Seeing Alice nodding decisively, Belen beckoned, and directly took her hand and walked up, and Sissi followed unconditionally.
But seeing that she walked towards the corner of the supermarket with a clear purpose, Alice was curious: "You want me to buy you bread?"
"No, no, come on. ”
In a word, Belen suddenly turned his feet and walked into the employee channel!
As soon as the surrounding environment quieted down, she immediately faced the two of them and showed a hint of embarrassment: "Actually, Alice, Sissi, this shopping mall is our family's property. ”
"What? wouldn't it?"
Alice was really surprised, and looked left and right, just in time to see an employee come out of a certain room: "Ah, Miss Belen, you are here." ”
Well, sure enough, there is a background, and it is not the attitude that customers should have when they strayed into the staff area.
Belen said to the young man, "Is Uncle Wesker in the engine room?"
The young man nodded and said, "Still worried, have you found a helper?"
"That's right, Alice is a great at this!"
As he spoke, Belen looked at Alice again: "That's right, Alice, the computers in our mall have been having problems since June, and there are always statistical errors, and the programmers of several large companies have not been able to solve the problem." You're a major shareholder of Microsoft, so you should be able to help, right?"
Seeing the earnest look on Belen's delicate face, Alice had no reason to object, and immediately nodded again: "No problem, leave it to me, but Phil, this mall ...... Is it really your family?"
Alice couldn't help but be curious, and even Sissi smiled bitterly and said, "It's in Windsor Town, I said Phil, we've been to 'Alice' no less than four or five times this month, and you've never told us about it?"
Hearing Sissi call out the name of "Alice" in the mall, Alice looked at the sky speechlessly...... Looking at the ceiling.
Alice wasn't bored enough to investigate this senior sister, but this situation was normal. In the first year that EtonHouse began recruiting girls, it stood out from thousands of applicants, and these girls must have excelled, and this geographical advantage is also a kind of qualification.
"This ...... It's just because it's next to the school, so I can't just talk about it. ”
So, Belen laughed a little embarrassedly, she folded her hands, and begged the two of them earnestly again: "Please, don't tell anyone else, okay? Although this can indeed bring more sound to the mall, but the impact is not good after all, or I will give you a membership card after this time?"
"It's a good idea, I like it~"
Alice laughed and patted Belen on the shoulder: "But don't talk about these useless things, little boss lady, take us to your computer room quickly!"
The use of computer databases to count the transactions of shopping malls is undoubtedly a precedent pioneered by Wal-Mart, and its operating model has actually brought endless inspiration to the later online shopping model. Whether it is the statistics of the sales of various commodities or the mechanism of coordinating the operation of global distribution stations with a high degree of informatization, this kind of big data has been gradually established as early as the seventies. At one time, it was estimated that Wal-Mart used far more computers than any other institution or company in the world.
If Alice remembers correctly, it was during a period of time from 1985 to 1987 that Wal-Mart installed a dedicated satellite communications system that enabled two-way sound and data transmission between headquarters, distribution centers, and stores. At this time, there are a total of 4,000 Wal-Mart stores around the world, so that they can all contact the headquarters in real time through their own terminals, and the cost savings are completely in the hundreds of millions!
And in the process, they all need to order with those companies in the computer industry?
It was just a request for help from Belen, which made Alice suddenly realize that she had a potential super big customer that had not yet been tapped!
How many routers, switches, and related accessories do you need for a Wal-Mart's information management system?
"Alice, Alice, Alice!"
Sissi was speechless.
"Huh?"
Alice came back to her senses, and then realized that it was not at any time that she had been led into the computer room by Belen. At the desk that had belonged to the administrator, a young man was looking at him with adoration.
"Miss Alice, it's such an honor to meet you, my name is Jimmy Warren, I bought Microsoft stock, and I made tens of thousands of dollars at once!"
It turned out that he had met a fan, and Alice greeted him, "yes, that's my pleasure, but Jimmy, don't be in a hurry to sell it." I assure you, Microsoft's stock is definitely the most valuable blue-chip stock on the list, so you can hold it in your hand and wait for the dividends, so don't rush to repay the loan. ”
"No problem! Oh...... By the way, Miss Belen, that ...... It's like this......"
Young Jimmy invited Alice to sit down, pointed to the computer, and said, "The first problem was a month ago, and we found that the sales volume and turnover of goods in the database did not match, but at that time it was just understood that it was a program failure. But ......"
"But there have been four or five mistakes of the same type in the past month, which has caused us a lot of losses. ”
Belen answered: "Alice, we have spent a lot of money to hire several programmers but have not found a problem, if you can really recover our losses, I will definitely give you a super VIP card, a lifetime discount of 50%!"
Sissi burst into laughter, and Alice also pursed her lips: "Then I look forward to it, if 'Alice' can open the world like Wal-Mart, this card will be a masterpiece." But seriously, why did your family give this mall such a name?"
While complaining, Alice had already started working mode.
As the database system of the mall, it is built on the UNIX system. It is a powerful multi-user, multi-tasking operating system that supports multiple processor architectures, and the system stability is far from comparable to that of Windows systems. If the Microsoft series before Win7 had to worry about its blue screen from time to time, then Unix can really be said to run for a month without redundancy at all, and before the appearance of similar products from Microsoft and other companies, one was almost the only operating system in the server field.
With Alice's ability, it can be said that unless it is the kind of real intelligent computer that has not yet been launched, it is not a problem to play with any operating system. In the blink of an eye, I watched her fingers quickly tap on the keyboard, and countless windows and countless commands appeared on the screen in an instant, and kept appearing and disappearing with extremely high dynamics!
Jimmy, who was watching, immediately gasped.
Belen couldn't have been a colleague at this scene, and said in a low voice: "It's amazing, isn't it?"
Jimmy Warren didn't mean to answer, he was completely stunned as he looked at his familiar computer, at the windows and command words that appeared like crazy on it, and at Alice's fingering with ten fingers, as swift and precise as "Flying Bees".
"My ...... Oh God!"
Alice naturally heard little Jimmy's emotion, and she could judge from the young man's temperament that nine times out of ten he was an ordinary graduate of the computer science department of an ordinary university. It's definitely not a master, but it's more than enough to fool an ordinary businessman and be an administrator in the computer room of an ordinary company.
There are so many reasons why the database fails four or five times a month, so the first thing Alice does is check for software vulnerabilities.
It's still 1986, and although Oracle, the king of the database field, has been established for nine years, it has not yet developed to the extent that it surpassed IBM in the later stage. This small supermarket host is not an oracle, but an older product, and the data model is still very primitive.
Primitive, Alice stared at these extremely backward program codes, grinning incessantly.
At the same time, I also thought about it in pieces.
"It's a pity that I don't have the money to invest in Oracle now, this bastard is also listed this year, and his annual income has skyrocketed to more than 50 million. It's a pity, it's a pity, I'll have to wait for a while......"
The company's position in the Internet age is unparalleled, after all, it is the world's number one database provider. Anyone who understands the information age knows how significant it is to the whole world. It can be said that that is simply the position of Cisco in the concept of "Internet"!
If you really want to take a stake in Oracle, it's actually simple, Alice just needs to imitate what she did at Microsoft. It's a pity that technology shares in a company are not just about handing things over to the other party, whether it is patent application, or follow-up training and guidance for enterprise employees, and so on a series of work is a busy rhythm. In the past two years, Alice has built Cisco with technical achievements, joined Microsoft, and has made great achievements in other fields.
After all, there is such a thing as a database, and its sense of existence is still a little lower after all, and if it weren't for the fact that this bastard went public at the beginning of this year, Alice wouldn't even think of such a company......
"Damn, damn Larry Ellison, why was he born so early......"
was complaining, and after repeatedly checking all corners of the computer, Alice found some clues. (To be continued.) )
