Buying A Plane

There's been a lot of bad press about 'corporate jets' in the news over the past year. Not that planes themselves have issues, but rather many questions about whether corporations are spending shareholder dollars appropriately. It's not a simple topic, but clearly there did seem to be a lack of awareness about how those kinds of things would be perceived in difficult financial times.

Moving to MySQL

It’s time. After years of building this site to work with SQL Server, I sold it to Red Gate Software. Part of that transaction meant that I had to work for Red Gate for a period of time afterwards. I think I’ve done a good job in that time, but I don’t own this site anymore, and can’t compete with it contractually.

Creating a JSON Document IV

I have this data in a table called dbo.NFLTeams

TeamID  TeamName       City             YearEstablished
------  --------       ----             ---------------
1       Cowboys        Dallas           1960
2       Eagles         Philadelphia     1933
3       Packers        Green Bay        1919
4       Chiefs         Kansas City      1960
5       49ers          San Francisco    1946
6       Broncos        Denver           1960
7       Seahawks       Seattle          1976

SELECT

  json_objectagg(city : TeamName)
FROM dbo.NFLTeams
GROUP BY  YearEstablished;
