Looking for a recommendation(website,Substack, any other material...) where I can improve my SQL knowledge. I am looking for something that I can read(theory) and practice(exercisea). I really enjoy learning python in Substack but until now I have not found something similar for SQL.
Though a great fan of free/libre and open systems, my professional life also revolves around topics like #oracle and #aws - so expect quite some toots on those.
I got nerdsniped by @tef & @sushee to demonstrate how relatively easy it is to build a CRAQ (https://timilearning.com/posts/mit-6.824/lecture-9-craq/) system atop @couchdb — Showing that as much as CouchDB is a distributed database in itself, it is also a very nice toolkit to build other kinds of distributed databases with it :)

I've tried #Fleek's products in the past; I deployed a site to #IPFS, but I needed a #backend where I could do things like connecting to #databases and #APIs. Then I tried out their #ICP deployments, but I found them to be limited, and ICP itself far too complicated for my #web2 brain.
Doing an online course on #Databases - I'm a bit rusty on #SQL queries. I'll be trying #Docker for the first time to create a DB test environment. Weird that I haven't tried it before, suppose having access to your own VM means less faffing around via a desktop machine. Also probably put off by all the girning I see on social media relating to Docker. Almost every day someone in my feed will complain about some setting or other that caused calamity and lost time...what delights/horrors await? 🤯
I do rather love being able to run tail¹ on my database tables² as I work on building Domain³ with Kitten⁴ ;)
(JSDB keeps tables in an append-only JavaScript log which are read fully into memory when the database is opened. And yes, if you noticed the class names, you can store custom objects.)
Looking for recommendations on projects to get better at #linux & using #cloud services etc. a lot of the ones I see are not super interesting or assume you have an idea already.
Want a fun hobby thing that involves a database & APIs, idk- what should I stand up to play around with that keeps me engaged? I enjoy building #databases & systems, want something to maybe publish online for fun
Things I like: music, birds, nature, movies, gardening & plants. I have a discogs account I could tap into, maybe lastfm & Spotify too. Give me ideas of fun projects please!
Here's another #reintroduction#introduction, since I'm migrating from octodon.social over here to hcommons.social!
I'm Jolene! I'm an archaeologist by training who wrangles data in the public sector. I lead our #archives, #databases, & #gis. I'm an ad-hoc technologist. I like questions, collaboration, data, maps, charts, graphs, patterns, jokes, sewing, biking, context, equity, dignity. I hate hashtags, but I guess I'll have to get over that.
I was an early adopter here (2017 although I just migrated instances), but only an infrequent participant. My gratitude goes out to the OG fediverse. I like it here!
Trying to decide what to create here, but I'm definitely not trying to reproduce a birdsite experience. Going to try to post things that are helpful/interesting.
Well, FWIW here is my #introduction to add to the hordes of refugees from the birdsite. I'm an old #welsh European #migrant living in the heart of Europe after fleeing Brexit. My day job is in IT, mostly #databases, now moving into #bigdata and #cloudtechnology. More of a lurker than a tweeter in the Bad Place, so probably won't say much here either. Finding the #fediverse interesting, however, so many thanks to all the fine folk who created and maintain this more civilised online space!
I'm Sinjo, I'm a gay guy working in tech, and my pronouns are he/him.
Tech-wise, my main interests are #databases, #infrastructure, and #SRE (I work as an Infrastructure Engineer at a database startup), though I dabble in plenty of other areas.
