You don't need a tool for this. If you store base data in one schema, and functions/views in another, you can update this second schema willy nilly without worrying about damaging your data. Just start the second file with DROP SC

Any indexes on the table? Are you using COPY, INSERT INTO or /COPY via PSQL?

"Incremental Aggregation" is just UPDATE (new value = old value + JOIN value), right? If so, yes :)

I stand corrected! Edit: However, the reference states "At this time (May 2016), there aren't any available open-source and free systems that have all the features listed above". Greenplum does actually implement all of thes

Actually, the benchmarks aren't against alternative columnstore DBs, which would really put proof on their claims. Would love to see a comparison with Greenplum or Redshift. For those who haven't worked with them before, columnsto

Having just spent 8 months in Sweden, I can assure you that their Socialism is purely 'children's creche' socialism, and not 'free bread' socialism. There are some goods that have positive externalities and high fix

You know, if you wanted to write a book, you could set up a Patreon with a per-chapter benefit. Perhaps write the introduction for free, setting out your goals for the book. I'd chip in. Even if the material is already 'covered&#x

Having a sort order is immensely preferable when you're joining multiple sequential rows at once. The optimiser can create a pseudo-partition for your join, and constrain its reads to that. Especially on spinning rust (or I/O cons

Explicit foreign keys perform better in some joins, as the optimiser can assume that all possible values are in the source column of that foreign key.

Why are the parking lots dangerous? Honest question

What are the incentives at play here? Is it mandated that buildings need carparks, or is space genuinely so plentiful that this is economic? I can't imagine a carpark-sized area of office space goes for $10/day, even after the cos

As a non-american, I am stunned - if ridership is only 20%, how on earth are all these people parking their cars in downtown Seattle? Carpark skyscrapers?

Are you working alone, or with/for other people? Do you take intrinsic satisfaction in the work, or is it the experience of a happy user that drives you? How do you form bonds with your fellow co-working space users in what is inherent

My startup is in Fintech, and my funders are based in Copenhagen. Despite searching hard for relevant co-working spots there on my behalf, they couldn't offer me anything. The language barrier was an issue with Copenhagen too, so I sea

Honestly, for a custom app from one of the largest corporations (IBM), for the largest of organisations (US Govt), $336k is pretty reasonable!

BMW doesn't actually have any feelings - it's a corporation, and it doesn't care how much some hacker is upset when a twitter rep doesn't know what open source is. The only people who care about software licences are pe

Yes! Where can I turn to for this? Is there a course that teaches me just the maths that I need to understand this?

I've been in one for just slightly longer, and I absolutely adore visual tools (SSIS). My coworker despises them. We are similarly experienced and similarly productive. After some discussion, the difference seems to stem from our own m

They should have called it the DorkMax 7000. Is any industrial worker going to be seen dead wearing this thing, given how it appears currently?

I'm a successful consulting software engineer with a masters and a charge-out rate of $1000/day, which I've been billing at for over a year, and not once have I had to implement a linked list. My clients love me. This kind of

Someone poured their heart and soul into something that may not make a profit! Don't be such a cranky scrooge just because they confess that. An ex used to run neurological studies, and they are incredibly expensive. The small survey g

Tax should be on profit, not revenue or turnover. By offering lower fees, Vanguard transfers wealth from the investment fund industry to the consumers of its products. I see no difference between what Vanguard is doing here, and what WhatsA

Why is this being upvoted? We can basically be certain that this guy is either a shill, or drunk. Product is cheaper than the competition. Boo hoo.

I am young, and very scared of this 'death' thing. It is so humbling to read of those who have transcended that fear.

You're hypothesising about something that has never happened. Check out some 3rd party cloud uptime metrics - the major providers (AWS, Google, Azure) have had less than an hour of downtime in the past year. Reliability is no longer on
