new to sap business one sdk - appreciate help starting in right direction

28 Views

I have 15 years of programming experience - mostly VB. I have a lot of experience coding UI's for databases. The company I work for recently went SAP B1 for MRP and accounting and I am required to take over SAP development and integration. I am only into it a few hours now but I think I understand the difference between the UI SDK and the DI SDK and I have also been able to connect to the database using ado. I created a few reports using asp,net and basically looked around at the database.

One thing that struck me is that the database is not normalized. At least ours isn't. There are repeating fields in one table like Vendor1, Vendor 2, Vendor3 through to Vendor6. The table was created by the SAP Partner that sold us the system. I'm not saying that this is wrong but I was surprised. I am used to linking table with keys and when I create tables I always follow the rules at least through the 2nd normal form.

I would appreciate any comments about this.

Next item I am trying to find a good object model with descriptions and sample code so if anyone could provide links. That would be helpful.
