Let me put it differently. Who won World War II?

Here's just some of what these "librarians, professors, and researchers" were up to: https://www.npr.org/2014/11/05/361427276/how-thousands-of-na... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O…

pgTAP is pretty good for PostgreSQL, but I don't know what if any options are available for other databases. https://pgtap.org/

That's a good point about MySQL. PostgreSQL wasn't quite ready for primetime at that time, and Oracle and MSSQL aren't free. That left MySQL to fill the gap, but it's not really bu…

That depends. I worked with customers 25 years ago who put loads of business logic in very long and involved T-SQL stored procedures in MSSQL or PL/SQL stored procedures in Oracle.…

I'm aware of that belief, but I do not share it.

The customers I work with tend to use database migration tools like Flyway or Liquibase, have their DDL in source control, run tests, and have fairly conventional CI/CD. As I said …

That's a matter of taste. I find most of the business logic I need to express involves finding and transforming relational data, a task to which SQL is better suited than any gener…

Fair. I've only ever had success with this strategy as a solo hacker. It was once claimed to me that this would be a disaster on large teams and I had to admit that I had no eviden…

I see it differently. In the 25 years I've been working in this industry I see a welcome trend toward doing more in the database, such that the impedance mismatch dissipates. This …

One way to have tighter integration between the database and the application logic is to abandon the application code altogether. Express the application logic right in the databas…

Nice!

Ahh, I see. Yeah, I suppose some examples in the docs would be nice. Anyway, here's an example with Hasura: https://gist.github.com/dventimihasura/b3f3c9e7ef1442d8e7f16...

Is "readers here [ARE] drooling morons and [DON'T] know what a github is and [CAN'T] click on the link to the repo and find the README.MD" the only other alternative? There's no mi…

PostGraphile compiles GraphQL directly to SQL. The SQL is "custom" in that it's specific to the GraphQL operation, though naturally it does follow rules. For example, Hasura does t…

And yet, I never encountered any of those other posts. I bet that's true for most HN readers. But, suit yourself. I just think you'll get higher engagement if you put your best foo…

You might consider posting not the release page, but rather the repo page: https://github.com/tinygrad/tinygrad Another good alternative would be: https://tinygrad.org/#tinygrad

Not in enterprise companies, it's not.

Incidentally, I see no evidence in those links or elsewhere that either Walmart or Netflix is using node to meditate interactions with upstream data sources. What I do see elsewher…

Of course, Hibernate (Java) dwarfs them all. https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&geo=US&q=S...
