Hey HN, I made this course :D The course is a bit more than 7 hours long split over 64 videos. I was always frustrated by the lack of intermediate database content, it seemed like it was mostly intro stuff, or straight to DBA level. So I read as many database books as I could, read through the official docs, and made this course specifically for application developers. If yall have any feedback I'd love to hear it. I…

Quite difficult to review that many hours of video but from the syllabus there are probably some missing pieces, mainly stored procedures and triggers, yes i know MySQL sucks for that particular job and probably you didn't touch them because planetscale probably doesn't support them (not a planetscale dev but this is my wild guess). Also didn't see any topic on choosing the right charset/collation for the right data…

Oh there are definitely missing pieces! I tried to cover the "meaty middle" of what application developers usually need to know. I did not cover stored procedures and triggers.

I did cover CTEs and windows, which are not yet supported by PlanetScale. I also covered foreign key constraints, which are not yet supported by PlanetScale.

As far as charset and collation, I cover that a bit in the "strings" video of the "Schema" section.

Let me know if you have any other feedback!

Thanks for making this Aaron. content looks so good! just in time for me. Unfortunately getting "Sorry Because of its privacy settings, this video cannot be played here.", unsure what's up.

Uh oh! That shouldn't be the case. Where are you viewing from? And what browser? I might need to change some settings in Vimeo

Ah it's for sure some browser extension, it's playing fine in a FF private window. my bad. Will post back once I figure out what's causing it. Again, thanks for the awesome stuff!

Whew, that's a relief. Keep me posted if you find out it's on our side.

This is well done! I can see that you've done your research: you've synthesized so much of the written material on MySQL (books, docs) in each lesson. Makes learning these concepts really accessible.

What's up with this being a copy paste of a comment above also claiming to be the creator?

Ha I was waiting for it to be edited, I thought they pulled the trigger too soon... but guess not?
