Note, I made the cleanup and NPOV-section edit, but I wasn't logged in. Insomniacity 23:23, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

New Jersey musician

Is there any truth in this odd section about a supposed NJ musician? Insomniacity 23:23, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I am he. I added the entry myself; the neutrality issue notwithstanding, you may rest assured that this is not any type of slander of another person's character. -Crud.

Disambiguation

I split out the section on the game to Crud_(game), then moved the rest here. RickScott 20:41, 13 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

While researching what this acronym means, I found a reference to a publication that said it stood for Create, and Read Until Deletion which is an algorithm for the management of memory shared by concurrent processes -- which which does not sound like "persistent storage" at all to me. Apparently it's in a paper by professors Wim H. Hesselink and Jan Friso Groote from the Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands. A copy of the paper can be retrieved from here.

Unfortunately I don't feel qualified nor do I have the time to write about an article on the alternative meanin, but I think -- at a minimum -- it should be noted somewhere, perhaps on a disambiguation page (also something I don't know enough to create myself) (Martnym (talk) 20:12, 27 December 2008 (UTC))[reply]

Chalk River Unidentified Deposit

The page previously stated that the word CRUD originated from the acronym Chalk River Unidentified Deposit. In fact, this appears to be a backronym -- the dictionary etymology states that crud evolved from the middle english 'crudde'. RickScott 20:41, 13 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

HTTP Mappings

The current article has create map into the HTTP method POST and update map into the HTTP method PUT. I believe that create should map into PUT and update into POST. The reason is section 9.1.2 of RFC 2616. This section states that PUT has idempotence. In other words, when performing the same PUT request N times, the end result (resource) will be the same. POST does not have idempotence. Therefore, if you are updating with PUT, you are changing the resource and breaking idempotence. --IndyGreg 04:59, 7 September 2007 (UTC).[reply]

My reading of Section 9.1.2 is that a PUT can result either in a create or a replacement of a record (eg a delete followed by an insert). Also, a POST may result in a combination of any of insert, update and delete. The fundamental difference in the semantics between the HTML verbs and the database verbs is that a database verb expects the application to know the state of the database before applying the verb, whereas the HTTP verb does not. For exampe, PUT means that the server should create an object if it does not already exist, and to replace it if it already exists. This does not map to CRUD at all.

I think this part should just be removed altogether; the behavior of HTTP methods is defined by the particular web application running on the server, not at all by the HTTP specification; so it makes for a very bad comparison to SQL which is strict and set in stone. -- intgr [talk] 01:19, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Origin

In the Dutch version of this page, the origin of CRUD is mentioned to be the book "Information Engineering" by James Martin, from the '70s. Which version should I believe? Tammojan (talk) 14:29, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
