Products that do what Book to help you build a PostgreSQL-like database server from scratch does
I just finished writing my book that guides you through building your own SQL database server from scratch. The software engineering books I've enjoyed the most are the ones that let you learn through writing code and experimentation, which is why I wanted to create a practical book. More details and a preview at https://technicaldeft.com/build-a-database-server In summary: + Learn how parse and type check SQL + Execute complex queries that use JOIN and GROUP BY + Challenge yourself with suggested extensions + Comparisons with real databases including PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite…

Hi HN, Over the past 6 months I've been working on a technical book focused on helping aspiring data scientists to get hands-on experience with cloud computing environments using the Python ecosystem. The book is targeted at readers already familiar with libraries such as Pandas and scikit-learn that are looking to build out a portfolio of applied projects. To author the book, I used the Leanpub platform to provide drafts of the text as I completed each chapter. To typeset the book, I used the R bookdown package by Yihui Xie to translate my markdown into a PDF format. I also used Google docs…

I wanted to brush up my SQL skills and was looking for an online course that included a live DB. Most PostgreSQL courses require you to create an account or pay. This is probably because they have to bear the costs of running a full server-side database. So I created learnpg.xyz, a collection of PostgreSQL SQL exercises that run client side. Sharing here because it might be of use to people!

Build you own query planner guide. I've been developing this guide for some time now, and I'm excited to finally share it with you. This project includes: - a SQL-like language - a fully-functional SQL planner/optimizer - a minimal query executor (for demoing purpose) GitHub: https://github.com/tuannh982/query-planner-guide

Hey Everyone, I built https://querysimple.com, its a tool that allows you to transform data directly in the PostgreSQL with just SQL skills. - Creation of tables - Data syncs - Error and status reporting - Scheduling queries All of this is taken care by the application. You just write your select SQL queries. I would love some feedback from the community on the tool. You can watch a video demo, there is no need to signup. Of course, if you want to signup and give it a try that would be great!

Hi all, I like RethinkDB a lot. One year ago, I started to document it because I want to learn more about it. At first, I blog, at one point I started to writing it in markdown, using pandoc to convert it into PDF then I switched to Leanpub. At some point, I almost abandon it. But finally I make effort to go back and almost finish it. Here is the result of one year: http://leanpub.com/simplyrethinkdb I also open source it on here(But it helps if you make an purchase on leanpub anyway :D): http://github.com/kureikain/simplyrethink The book is still WIP…
