[quote=SD Realtor]What will be MORE interesting is the third party providers. In all honesty this should throw a total wrench in the user interfaces they provide however I bet none of them change a thing. They will more then likely keep the IDX feeds as they are so that the contingent category simply feeds into Active status. However you never know![/quote]
In my professional experience, you’ll quickly see who hired the really smart (and lucky) database architect in the first place and who didn’t. The ones who did will have a dozen lines of mostly database code to write for the core application and then will go mess around with their reports for a little while; the ones who didn’t are screwed because they thought the world would never change and hard coded stuff everywhere.
I will say that both camps are probably somewhat screwed by the very nature of EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) driven projects: they’re at the mercy of some other bozo’s random notions about data structures and transports (this means you, Electricity Reliability Council Of Texas!) and are doing well if they can spackle over the gaps.
