  • RE: Using Super Keys to Enforce Database Constraints

    Looking at this I feel that the example starts off denormalised.  Rather than have a guide with a language attribute and a team with a language attribute I would have

  • RE: Fuzzy Search

    I've tried this on MySQL with similar results.

    As a homage to Jeff Modem I created a tally table with as least as many number as the longest string...

  • RE: Who's Smarter? Humans or AI Systems?

    Of course, it failed that basic "Turing Test" by asking me why I wanted to know instead of answering the question and the directive I gave it of "Just answer...

  • RE: Who's Smarter? Humans or AI Systems?

    I expect the problems from AI to be the social fallout from the change in employment hits.
    In the UK we got a forewarning of this during the late 1980s/early...

  • RE: The Digital Twin

    I've worked on a big personalisation project that produced a distance score between 250,000 products for 5 million customers.  That was 1.25 trillion records generating 37TB of scoring data.
    The capabilities...

  • RE: Potholes in the Road of Progress

    Even the successful inventors get treated badly.  Christopher Cockerell wasn't even allowed to pilot his hovercraft and didn't get much from his invention.

  • RE: Data Privacy and Security: The Implications of GDPR

    I've spent some time reading a summarised version of the GDPR regulations.  These regulations give HUGE levers to those of us who favour doing things properly.  I think it is...

  • RE: A Database Design Test

    I've been asked to provide a high level architectural design for a system.
    I've also been set DB scenarios as interview questions but haven't been asked explicitly for a DB...

  • RE: Improving Replication

    I found that the brittleness in replication is due to the complexity and flexibility of the facility.  The brittleness was more down to inadvertent misconfiguration than an inherent problem with...

  • RE: Migrating Schema Between Platforms

    I wish I could find the blog post that addresses business logic in databases.
