Using stored procedures can be much more effective that at some tasks then attempting to do it in code. I have seen systems that attempted to do the work only in the application and their performance was orders of magnitude larger than it could have been. I have also seen cases where because there was no clean separation of data access (because after all it should be right were it is needed right?) that a conversion to a different database took years (actual years) to do. And that conversion was driven by real business needs and not just because the newest CTO decided they wanted something different.

You're right, a lot of people have no idea what they need, and that SVG isn't special in its bloat. It's just overwhelming to deal with. But I really want nice pretty vector graphics for my little ARMs and stuff, and now the 32 bit ones have enough ooomph to do it. I just got sick of interfaces that look like they were crafted in the mid 1990s. LVGL seems to find its way around that, even with raster graphics, but I couldn't make heads or tails of its rendering process. I wasn't really going to do a whole vector engine, aside from loading and rendering a reasonable SVG subset which I already had finished, but not one with an exposed API you could draw with. The reason I did is I could not find efficient algorithms for doing anti-aliased draws with alpha-blending. The anti-aliasing would cause pixels to be drawn in the same place twice, which fouls alpha-blending. With vector graphics you get the mess basically as a series of polygons except all the lines are actually bezier curves. When you go to render, the way it's done, the issue above isn't an issue. But it's sort of an all or nothing deal because the latter works nothing like the former at all.

There is no way you can see a character until it is 'translated' into a viewer. Doesn't matter what the viewer is it still must do that translation. And sometimes there is more than one translation in the pipeline (for example database to driver, to a 'string', then to 'html', then to a browser.) Member 16359559 wrote: Greek alphabet That also is an assumption. There is a character set, a binary representation, which is used for a 'language'. It will have a specific name. So you really need to determine what that is. Then the steps First extract the binary data from the database. Probably test data. Determine if the form is correct. That is does the binary value (hex or binary) match the character set. Note that if you attempt this by displaying a 'character' then you are not doing it correctly. If the binary value is not correct for the character set then nothing you can do in the code will fix that. Second step determine the pipeline from binary to display. This does include the driver between the whatever application/code that reads the database itself. For each step you must determine whether the binary value retains its original correct value. If you find a step where it is wrong then you have found where the problem is. You should also look for a different way to view the data besides html and a browser. Even just initially that might be the easiest way to determine if those are the problem.

To use isolated styles correctly: In DisplayComponent.razor, apply the class directly: DisplayComponent How cool, it works In Index.razor, remove the class from the wrapping : that's how the component will display with the styles applied correctly.

This is a Qt issue as far as using the toInt function. And as the documentation (QString Class | Qt Core 5.15.17[^]) clearly shows, it handles numbers in any base from 2 to 36.

Thanks, Richard! The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.
