It's kind of a shame that it doesn't include the US territories, since it does say 'the United States', and not just 'the states of the United States' as the headline. Also, can we get (2012) added to the end o

Did ICANN ever become a UN agency, or is it still technically under the jurisdiction of the USA? Or really neither, and nothing will probably happen?

Except, that's potentially super slow if the optimiser does not realise what to do. In its default state, it will make two table look ups for each row in table a. So that's 1+N*2 look ups compared to 3 look ups in my example. F

No, not that complex. Just that I want to be able to specify which of my joined tables I am counting on in a null-safe way, in case the joining table could have null values in all its columns.

It would, I realised after I read the replies, that I should have used the two joined table scenario as per my reply to your sibling.

If you write a lot of SQL, writing it in lowercase is OK. That's what I do anyway. If I insert simple prepared statements into code, I usually write keywords with uppercase, but larger code blocks, I write in lowercase. I also tend

You're right, it's a bad example, imagine if I joining two tables: SELECT a.id, COUNT(b.*), COUNT(c.*) FROM a JOIN b ON b.a_id = a.id JOIN c ON c.a_id = a.id GROUP BY a.id I want to know how many occurrences a_id ha

While counting columns will not include NULL columns, how about counting joined tables? SELECT a.id, COUNT(b.*) FROM a JOIN b ON b.a_id = a.id GROUP BY a.id is not permitted in Postgres. Sure, I could just use COUNT(b.a_id) since tha

As far as I can gather, all the islands of the Hudson Bay are considered part of Nunavut (even those in James Bay), but I don't think all the water belongs to Nunavut.

Land area for Nunavut appear to be 1,877,787 km², which would still make it larger than the areas it is compared to in the article, but still far smaller than Greenland, which is right next to it.

Isn't Greenland larger? It sends two mandates to the Danish Parliament.

Because it makes the Conquistadors' conquests of the New World seem more appetising? Because it downplays the indiscriminate conquering of the Americas? Spain commemorates the day Columbus discovered America as its national day, as it

It's funny, the spec they references[0] makes no mention of parsers or nesting. But RFC 8259[1] clearly does. Moreover, I notice they were both published in December 2017. Why two specs for the same standard? [0] http://w

Just speculating here, but it could also be plausible that one of Sholes' investors was a biographer, who wanted that kind of symbol on the typewriter. But given the success of the typewriter, by the second version, Sholes abandoned i

I also noticed that he writes dates in the `%d %M` format (e.g. 25 July), which suggests that he is probably an intelligence officer. (I think they said he was an CIA operative?)
