    Exposed SQL is pretty good.
  • speed of a left join with millions of rows
    1 project | /r/SQL | 27 May 2023
    I am using Kotlins Exposed DSL to access my postgreSQL database. I am running an SQL query which involves doing a one-to-many left join, with the first table having tens of thousands of rows and the second table having millions of rows. The database is stored locally on the machine. I would expect the returned query to be less than one thousand rows.
  • Return a nested list of child table using Kotlin Exposed Dao
    1 project | /r/Kotlin | 22 May 2023
    I understand that `referrersOn` and `referencedOn` can be used, however in the documentations StarWars example, the child table needs to have a column indicating the parent_id row it is joined to. This does not work in my case as my child table can be associated to multiple parent_ids.
  • Replicating Jetbrains Exposed Star Wars Example in IntelliJ Scratch file
    1 project | /r/IntelliJIDEA | 21 May 2023
    I am following this wiki to learn kotlin exposed. It contains an example of 'Referencing' using Star Wars data. I would like to create a scratch and/or console file in IntelliJ which reproduces this simple example. However When I try to run the code I get errors (see below). Is there something I am missing here?

    Alternatively there are... hybrid solutions like Kotlin's https://github.com/JetBrains/Exposed or https://jdbi.org/ that don't quite... do all the heavy lifting for querying but allow you to sorta stitch queries together manually.
  • Using PostgreSQL as an Append-only Datastore with Kotlin and Exposed
    3 projects | /r/Kotlin | 24 Feb 2023
    In our last episode (https://youtu.be/Uza\_dWsNMUs) we worked out how to save stock items in PostgreSQL (https://www.postgresql.org/) using the JetBrains Exposed library (https://github.com/JetBrains/Exposed). This time we refactor our existing file-based storage, extracting an interface that we can implement with files, in-memory, or with Exposed. For the database version, instead of replacing items in a table when they change, we choose to implement an append-only datastore. This keeps all the old versions of every row, using a query to select the latest versions when we want to see the current state. This has the advantage that we can rebuild the state of our system if things go wrong, and may also be faster than amending when we consider transactions. This is part 62 of an exploration of where a Test Driven Development implementation of the Gilded Rose stock control system might take us in Kotlin. You can see the whole series as a playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1ssMPpyqociJNwykAOB9\_KEZVW7BW7m2 and the code on GitHub https://github.com/dmcg/gilded-rose-tdd If you like this, you’ll probably like my book Java to Kotlin, A Refactoring Guidebook (http://java-to-kotlin.dev). It's about far more than just the syntax differences between the languages - it shows how to upgrade your thinking to a more functional style. I have some free time between producing videos and working for team Gilded Rose. If you like these videos I'd like to work with you - please get in touch - [email protected]

    I have used hikari and exposed to do this in the past with postgres, although other dialects are supported.

  • Integrate txtai with Postgres
    2 projects | dev.to | 25 Apr 2024
    Another key feature of txtai is being able to quickly move from prototyping to production. This article will demonstrate how txtai can integrate with Postgres, a powerful, production-ready and open source object-relational database system. After txtai persists content to Postgres, we'll show it can be directly queried with SQL from any Postgres client
  • Understanding SQL vs. NoSQL Databases: A Beginner's Guide
    5 projects | dev.to | 9 Apr 2024
    SQL (Structured Query Language) databases are relational databases. They organize data into tables with rows and columns, and they use SQL for querying and managing data. Examples include MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite.

  • I Deployed My Own Cute Lil’ Private Internet (a.k.a. VPC)
    8 projects | dev.to | 18 Mar 2024
    Each app’s front end is built with Qwik and uses Tailwind for styling. The server-side is powered by Qwik City (Qwik’s official meta-framework) and runs on Node.js hosted on a shared Linode VPS. The apps also use PM2 for process management and Caddy as a reverse proxy and SSL provisioner. The data is stored in a PostgreSQL database that also runs on a shared Linode VPS. The apps interact with the database using Drizzle, an Object-Relational Mapper (ORM) for JavaScript. The entire infrastructure for both apps is managed with Terraform using the Terraform Linode provider, which was new to me, but made provisioning and destroying infrastructure really fast and easy (once I learned how it all worked).
  • How to dump and restore a Postgres DB with new table ownership
    2 projects | dev.to | 14 Mar 2024
    I've used MySQL for years. But recently, I found myself working PostgreSQL and simple things like dumping and restoring a database are different enough that I decided to document the process. It's straightforward enough once I knew how.
  • Test Driving a Rails API - Part One
    11 projects | dev.to | 11 Mar 2024
    A running Rails application needs a database to connect to. You may already have your database of choice installed, but if not, I recommend PostgreSQL, or Postgres for short. On a Mac, probably the easiest way to install it is with Posrgres.app. Another option, the one I prefer, is to use Homebrew. With Homebrew installed, this command will install PostgreSQL version 16 along with libpq:

  • Preventing SQL injection attacks in Node.js
    6 projects | dev.to | 22 Feb 2024
    To better understand how SQL injection works, let's quickly create a vulnerable app using Node.js, Express, and a PostgreSQL database. The application takes user input from a form, constructs a SQL query, and executes it against the database to fetch some data.
