Hi, I’m Developer Sam and this is my public online-space. I write mainly about software development with a focus on testable database development and code quality, but am not limiting myself to these topics, because I’m a whole person.
Using Open Broadcast Studio can really improve the amount of control and possibilities you have in your online meetings. Especially the virtual camera is so handy when you have to switch a lot between video conferencing systems. Here's how you get started, including a Background Removal solution that doesn't require a greenscreen.
There is a vast amount of different terms to describe tests, and especially developers can easily struggle with their specific meaning or what the term tries to emphasize. In this post I try to give an overview about different aspects that are used to categorize and describe tests as a tool to improve one of most effective, frightening and impactful actions in software development: Talking to each other.
Today is my last day at smenso, where I've worked for the past 6 years. Here are the things I want to write down - mainly so I can reread it in the future and remember.
PL/SQL provides three different types of collections to hold multiple items of data. They all come with different capabilities and limitations and since these are hard to remember, I provide a condensed showcase of the different collection types in one single code example.
I already wrote about how much I like the XML generating capabilities of modern SQL, but most examples come only with one or two levels of depth. What if you want to create deeply nested XML and JSON directly from SQL?
Recursive CTEs (WITH-clause) is one addition to the SQL standard that makes the language incredibly powerful. Besides other things it can be used to generate data rows "from thin air" - for example a list of quarters by year. SQL is your friend!
