SQL Dry Runs with SQL Simulator

In plain words

SQL Simulator is a development tool that lets users test SQL scripts safely before running them against production databases. It creates clones of only the database objects affected by a script, rather than entire databases, then executes the script against the clone to verify results. Currently supporting Oracle and SQL Server, it helps developers confirm their SQL scripts perform as intended without risking actual data.

In the maker’s words, at launch

My name is Weston Goodwin. I created a tool called SQL Simulator which allows you to do Dry Runs with your SQL Scripts. The reason I created the tool was because I wanted to verify that my SQL scripts did what I thought they would do without executing them against the database. It is similar in concept to Redgate SQL…

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  Non.io, a Reddit-like platform Ive been working on for the last 4 years▲1,943

  Heya HN, I've been working on a reddit-like platform as my primary side project for the last few years. Doing a (very) soft launch today, mainly because I want to use it to encourage discussion of alternatives. How non.io works: 1. Free to browse, paid to interact. 2. Minimum subscription is $2 (though you can choose more). I take $1 to run the servers, everything left gets split evenly between everything you upvote that month. It's a simple model, but I hope it's a better one than the freemium model we've been relying on for the last few years. Fundamentally I feel like any ad-supported…
