Jeremy Palmer (MS), came up with a great term the other day.

'Monkey Code',  thats the code you write again and again, each time you write a data-driven application.   You know:

Create database connection
Sql selects (spelling everything correctly)
error handling
etc.

all that usual boring stuff...

So trying to make writing applications less like doing the washing up,   I've been building as part of my day job a tool that does the 'Monkey Code' for you.

I've got it to the stage of point and shoot.  Point the tool at a SQL table, stored procedure or view and it builds the rest.

Results of this work can be found at -

Thanks Jeremy for putting a name to my pain.   'Monkey Code'
