You basically only need to know one thing to answer all your questions: use EXPLAIN PLAN. Postgresql has "explain analyze", which is even better than simple "explain", but all SQL databases have "explain", beca

There is no difference. SSL was invented by Netscape, when they brought it to IETF to get standardized Microsoft did not want to use a name Netscape has advertised, so they forced a name change. Thus "SSL 3.1" (IETF update to SSL

No. A mainframe is not a supercomputer. You can get more cores, more dram, more iops for less money if you don't need high reliability in a single machine (because your software handles nodes failing) and if you don't need compati

'malinens doesn't have the storage space to store an index over a column if all values in the column are indexed. They want to index only some values, but not others. This feature does not exist in MySQL.

Your arithmetic / unit conversion doesn't work. Change of 3.5°F is same as change of 1.94°C, not 1.2°C. Change of 28°F is 15.5°C. 37.7 - 22.2 != 9.6. (Water freezing to boiling is 100 degrees in C and 180 degrees in F).
