##sql
Day 123 - Broken cloud, windy, cool, damp
A gentle Wilbur dog dawdle around the usual circuit. Groin strain improving. I have a need to learn SQL. Anybody know good #SQL resources (for optimising/reducing a wordpress database)?

upd as I had switched from unity's visualscripting sql lib to #Sqlite .net, I can say that

💥 all issues in repost still apply...
BUT
sqlite net is better because:

✅ never breaks on bulk inserts
✅ fully supports enum properties
✅ NotNull attribute really works

#buildinpublic #sql #orm #database
working with #unity3d #ORM (sqlite-net, Sql4Unity3d) after backend and #EntityFramework is a very interesting experience

💥 no foreign keys/navigational properties
💥 no composite primary keys
💥 can't specify default property value
💥 breaks from math in queries

It’s pretty bonkers that I can just mix and match #rstats and #sql and #duckdb. A real witches brew.

omg we've gone full circle and Information Retrieval is back to boolean operators. #lucene #solr #sql #nltk #askjeeves
This paper introduces a logical reasoning framework for retrieval systems, improving their ability to handle complex queries with negations and conjunctions. By integrating logical reasoning into retrieval, we surpass traditional vector models, boosting efficiency. https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.17860

I'm currently seeking my next role as a Developer Advocate or Software Developer ( #JavaScript, #TypeScript, #Nodejs, #csharp, #SQL, #electron). I also welcome opportunities that leverage my illustration, graphic design, and musical abilities. Every connection helps! Thank you!

SQL + ggplot2 = ggsql ❤️

It is hard to find new and exciting open-source projects that aren't related to AI or the agents hype, but this one definitely looks amazing. ggsql is a new open-source project from Posit that implements the grammar of graphics with SQL syntax.

Why SQL won 🏁

In this interview with Let's Data Science, #DuckDB co-creator @hannes.muehleisen.org argues that the data industry misdiagnosed SQL’s problems a decade ago.

What developers *actually* hated in 2013 was the install, the server, and the client protocol, not the language itself.

Interesting discovery: there are roughly 9,000 accounts within 5 hops of those I currently follow! 🚀 (I assume I didn't mess up the data gathering)
Powered by @duckdb.org with the seamless #SQL/ #PGQ syntax supported in the #DuckPGQ extension. Amazing what you can uncover with the right tools!

Super #SQL brainteaser for your Tuesday that kept a few folks on our team thinking pretty hard until someone made an elegant solution.

The desired behavior per unit:
* First event qualifies
* Subsequent events qualify only if it's been more than 90 days since the last

🌟 The non-positional INSERT #SQL statement will hopefully change the way how we write INSERT statements forever. I'm proud that I was directly involved in this effort.

🧠 This blog post is a "brain dump" recounting that journey.
Non-Positional INSERT statement – the insider story
Oracle Database 23.9 implements the non-positional INSERT statement. In my social media posts, I called out that Oracle Database is the first and only database to support this functionality, and by that, I mean not only the SET clause but the entirety of that feature set. There is a lot that can be done now, and this blog post provides the backstory of how this feature came about, what it does, and when you should use it.
