... be accessible from the internet, I can install them on the same hardware. And I think I might isolate each webserver on its own little #Debian installation plus run a separate #SQL server in a VM.

I'm already using SelectiveEquatable in tests and it's really nice especially when I'm in a situation where it is a pain in the butt to conform a type to Equatable.

But finally it dawned on me, maybe I can generalize selectivity to help make other problems nicer and... well I haven't found it yet.

In #SQL for example it's really easy to SELECT columns and make one-off tuples. Perhaps that might be helpful in Swift?

Once again I demonstrate that I do not know how to use social media, not even Mastodon. Let me try that again properly with the relevant metadata: I have done my first post-ZeroVer release of #DBXS, an #OpenSource #Python raw #SQL #database access library. If that collection of hashtags seems interesting to you, perhaps check it out!

• SQL Noir - весьма интересное решение для изучения SQL в виде текстовой игры. По сюжету вы будете выступать в роли детектива, которому необходимо решить определённый пул задач, анализируя улики в базе данных.

• Задачи разделены на три уровня: для начинающих, продолжающих и продвинутых пользователей. Сейчас доступно четыре дела, которые предстоит раскрыть. Если получается найти решение, то вы получаете баллы, которые открывают доступ к более сложным задачам. К слову, на GitHub (github.com/hristo2612/SQLNoir) есть подробная инструкция для тех, кто хочет разработать и опубликовать собственную задачу.

Today in MS Access I built a form to create an invoice. It presents a list of individuals to select from and other fields.

A button runs a private subroutine that takes that info and sends it to a public subroutine which then loads a SQL append query and feeds the info into the query's parameters, and runs it.

I've never written much Access VBA before. I had to reread a lot of the Access Bible to figure this out. Bleh.

Stack Overflow's 2025 Annual Developer Survey results are published, and #PostgreSQL once takes the top spot as Most Desired & Most Admired #database.

Factors like incredibly diverse data types and a thriving #OpenSource community has led to sustained levels of success for years.
