A CSV is a Comma-Separated Values file, which allows data to be saved in a tabular format. It's long been the preferred format for transferring data between databases. More recently, Internet-driven formats such as XML and JSON have also gained much traction. CSV files are well suited to databases because they represent table data exceptionally well and can be used with just about any spreadsheet program, such as Microsoft Excel or Google Spreadsheets. In today's blog, we'll be taking a look at a few ways to export table data to CSV in MySQL.
In some cases, running a well crafted UPDATE statement in production can save the day. Other times, a botched UPDATE can cause more harm than the initial issue. You can always execute your Data Manipulation Language (DML) statements on a development or test database, but due to differences in the data, this approach makes determining the statement's effects on the production data a craps shoot at best.
So what are some options to accurately predict what the result of an INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statement will be on production data before running it? Well, that depends on the database vendor and product, at least in part. There are also some solutions that enjoy widespread support. We'll be taking a look at both options in this blog.
Just when you thought you knew every type of join, here comes another! Perhaps you've heard of nested joins, or even nested-loop query plans, and wondered what they were. Well, wonder no more. Today's blog will settle the mystery once and for all!
Having completed our series on Top SQL Query Mistakes last week, it's time to take a page from the Monty Python playbook and move on to something completely different. And that something is why database developers and administrators should consider using third-party database administration tools (DBMT) to fill the gaps left by the major database manufacturers. Regardless of price, all 3rd party DBMT provide functionality that fulfills the needs of the general DBA community by either complimenting or replacing database manufacturers' tool sets. Today's blog will highlight just a few of the benefits provided by 3rd party DBMT.
Predicate Evaluation Order
Just before Part 3 of this series, we took a brief pause to talk about Predicates in SQL, as they factored into mistakes related to Outer Joins. In this final installment of this series on Top SQL Query Mistakes, predicates will once again enter the picture, as we examine how predicate evaluation order can cause seemingly well constructed queries to fail with errors.
