Summary: Can be really tough on you This one is the weakest in the whole series. I had really hard time while going through. I can understand the point of having views that behave as relations but I think I was not convinced that it can be easily done. Instead of listening what should be […]
Summary: beware of nulls, they can surprise you So far, this one is the best out of the five in the series. nulls are painfull in db world. No matter how you define them (null, unknown, nothing at all). You can always use something that means – “missing value” – let it be: “sysmiss”, 999, […]

Nullology – Empty Sets in Database Theory and Practice by C.J. Date Summary: that’s one of these love-hate relationsips :) Whether you love it or hate it depends heavily on: – whether you are concious enough to follow the material (don’t watch it at night while preparing for sleep – definitelly not a good idea) […]

Summary: basics that escalates heavily at the end If you haven’t heard about set theory and set algebra, you may consider this one as a good introduction.

Long long time ago in galaxy far away I have bought Things – for both, my Mac and iOS devices. And I was very pleased using it (in fact, you can find it serving as a background at one of the pictures in the gallery at my blog). Anyway, I was using it constantly all […]

If there are no formatting standards inside your team, if everybody uses different tool, let it be NetBeans, Eclipse, vi, emacs, you will probably, sooner or later, face the same issue – completely unsynchronized codes. There was this discussion that […]
