Sarah Lea<p>Why normalize databases?<br>Yesterday, my tutoring student asked me why databases need to be normalized at all. She said: “Wouldn’t it be easier to just have one big table with all the information?”</p><p>It’s a common first question when learning about relational databases.<br>At first, one big table (e.g. customer name, order date, product name, price) seems easiest.</p><p>I told her:<br>:blobcoffee: Because that quickly leads to data redundancy, anomalies, and integrity issues when inserting, updating, or deleting records.<br>:blobcoffee: Normalization means structuring data into separate, related tables, so that each fact is stored only once. This reduces redundancy &amp; preserves consistency.</p><p><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/databases" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>databases</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/dataengineering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dataengineering</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/datascience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>datascience</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/datascientist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>datascientist</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/dataanalysis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dataanalysis</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/dataanalyst" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dataanalyst</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/sql" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sql</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/data" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>data</span></a></p>

⚯ Michel de Cryptadamus ⚯<p>pro tip for user interface designers:</p><p>if you have hundreds of millions of dollars of venture capital and you want to make a user facing data analytics tool of some kind and you think it's reasonable to ask an average human being to type this:</p><p> CAST('2023-05-01' AS TIMESTAMP)</p><p>to do literally anything with a date or time in your application's user interface, just stop right there. do not pass go, do not collect $200, and do not ever attempt to offer feedback to a UX designer ever again. something is deeply broken inside you that means there are certain mysteries of the universe that even the guys who designed the postgres command line can access that you will never know, and that's ok. You can still live a really rad life.</p><p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/SQL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SQL</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/dba" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dba</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/dataengineering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dataengineering</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/postgres" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>postgres</span></a></p>

pipTrends<p>Pinpointing differences between two tables is very important for tasks like validating data migrations or spotting corruption. But when those tables live in different databases, it becomes tricky due to issues like network costs and different SQL dialects. In this article, Erez Shinnan shared how Reladiff tackles these challenges and its development journey.</p><p><a href="https://eshsoft.com/blog/how-reladiff-works" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">eshsoft.com/blog/how-reladiff-</span><span class="invisible">works</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>python</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Programming</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PythonProgramming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PythonProgramming</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SoftwareDevelopment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SoftwareDevelopment</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSource</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DataEngineering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DataEngineering</span></a></p>
