#where clause tutorial

[foone]

Do you ever get the almost-writers-block feeling where your brain gives you an idea but then completely deserts you when it comes to actually fleshing it out or writing a story with it?

Mine came up with "a future where people subscribe to patreons for body models, which they then can wear"

So like you would pay 5$ a month and now you have the body of the person you subscribed to.

And all I can think of is some complications:

* if you stop subscribing or they end their patreon, you're out a body. You gotta find another one, fast. Your clothes might not fit anymore! You bought them for that body!

* the person who actually owns the body has to maintain it, as any changes will be reflected on all their patrons. Get a tattoo? Now hundreds or thousands of people have the same one. Dye your hair? I hope everyone likes being blonde! You'd probably have, like, polls for this sort of thing. Monetized Democratic body choices.

* what if they get hit by a car? A thousand people suddenly break their legs at once?

* licensing differences for bodies. Like, plenty of body patreons to have a "no doing porn" clause (because it'd be visually identical to the owner doing it), but some restrictive ones have "no having sex" (or "no having straight sex", in one notible example)

* you can subscribe to multiple body patreons and swap between which one you use on a daily basis

* pirated bodies on the darkweb

* police trying to solve crimes when the face that shows up on the cameras isn't the perp, it's some instagram model from Atlanta.

* society gets even weirder about fat shaming because anyone can wear the body of a person who weighs less than a sack of flour. Men on social media saying you gotta get her to show you childhood pictures so you can figure out if she's "really" fat.

* "we'd talked a lot online and she seemed really nice and we had great chemistry but when we finally met up, it turns out she always wears the Caitlin body!" "oh no, isn't that what your ex wore?" "exactly! And you know I've still got trauma from everything she put me through..."

* lotta young trans people figure some things out really quick. Forget "trying out crossdressing in secret" or "asking if people can use different pronouns on discord", how about trying having a different gender's body for a day?

* weird hackers trying to figure out how to modify the body-rental system so they can be dragons or elves. Speaking of which,

* people with body modifications to make themselves look less human being very popular. You can be an elf, thanks to that guy in Bowling Green, Florida who got the surgery to make his ears pointy. Apparently it paid for itself within 6 months.

* body reviews. People try out bodies and review how they are in looks and flexibility and stamina and any random aches and pains they might have.

* imagine reading one for your body. Someone walked a mile in your feet and gave a review of how your body looks and feels.

* weird couples who both wear the same body. Worse, polycules. They get together for a big cuddlepile and it's just 7 of the same body, and it gets difficult to tell where one begins and another ends.

* getting a bunch of information when you rent a new body, so you can know how it works and any odd things you gotta watch out for. Plus makeup tutorials and such, to know how to look exactly like how that body looked in certain photos

* everyone goes back to passwords on their phone. Fingerprints and facial recognition are no good, since someone could just rent the same body and now they have the same fingerprints and face.

* a subculture of disabled people who rent specific bodies not for their looks so much as their painless functionality. One of the most rented bodies amongst them is a woman from Minnesota who is definitely no model, but she's a 26 year old with no aches and pains and body that has plenty of energy and flexibility.

* oh so much drama about if it's ethical to rent bodies from other races. Predictable scandals where it turns out some musician or TikTok star is a white guy, despite their appearance as someone non-white. People get a lot madder at the white people wearing blackbody than the ones wearing asianbody, for reasons.

* a little post-it note inside a Starbucks where the customers can't see it, counting how many of a given body they've had in that morning. Someone named Stephan had 12 tally marks, and Lauren has 8. It's only 9:32 am.

Anyway yeah I have writer's block and can't do anything with this concept. Clearly.

Gideon x reader who is really smart

okay so as I was writing this, it’s kinda giving the same energy as one of my upcoming series. v excited to share and this is almost like a little taste of a bigger project I’ve been working on

Gideon never saw himself ever gaining the courage to ask you out. You’d arrived at the Salvation Center on a Monday, bouncing your foot while waiting to meet with Jesse, Judy, and Kelvin. He stopped in his tracks, giving you a once-over before he felt his cheeks bloom warm and his hands get clammy.

You weren’t like the others that filtered through the compound. You had a sharp, focused look in your eye, like you were already solving problems before they hit the table. Even then, you still smiled politely when Jesse cracked one of his inappropriate jokes, and you nodded along with Judy’s enthusiastic rambling about worship aesthetics.

He was more than impressed when he’d read your resume over his dad’s shoulder. Multiple degrees under your belt, languages, and all in fancy font, he was soon afraid of you.

Like, actual fear. The kind that made him sit up straighter, brush his hair back, and pray you wouldn’t ask him anything math-related. He’d hide a smile when you crunched numbers in your head, writing them down before Martin had even finished his sentence. The way you clicked your pen, nodded to yourself, and then underlined a total. It was ridiculous how hot that was.

Gideon wasn’t used to being around people like you. People who were smart and cool. And funny. And terrifying in a really specific, spreadsheet-wielding way.

He figured you wouldn’t look at him twice. But then one day, you did. You caught him staring during a budget meeting. And instead of calling him out, you tilted your head and smiled.

Your first date was impromptu. Lunches overlapped and the last two chairs in the food court ended up with half-eaten meals, far too wrapped up in conversation to think of anything else.

You’d been explaining something. Some kind of funding clause in the bylaws he couldn’t quite follow, but he didn’t mind. He liked the way your hands moved when you talked, the way your eyebrows twitched when you tried to simplify a concept just for him. He made you laugh, too. Not the polite kind of laugh people gave the Gemstones because they were supposed to, but a real, surprised one that burst out when he called Judy the CFO, Chief Freak-Out.

You stayed there until someone from the center texted you both, wondering where you’d gone.

“I guess that was lunch,” you said, glancing at your barely touched salad.

“I guess it was a date,” Gideon replied, then immediately looked horrified with himself.

But you just grinned, standing up and brushing off your slacks. “Good. I like when smart investments pay off.”

He didn’t stop smiling for the rest of the day.

Now, Gideon never thought of himself as stupid. He earned good enough grades to get through high school with a special cord. It wasn’t valedictorian, but he was still in the top double digits of his class. He could fix engines with a fre tutorials and a thick enough manual, knew his way around a sermon, and had enough charm to talk his way out of a speeding ticket or into a job.

But when he got to know you, really know you, he found himself struggling to keep up.

Conversations drifted easily with you. One second you were breaking down the complexity of marketing Christianity in ways that were covert but not misleading, the next you were talking about the societal implications of algorithmic polarization. Then came developmental theory, bouncing from Piaget to Erikson like you were switching radio stations.

By the fourth date, Gideon was nodding along, until he wasn’t. He blinked and cut in gently. “I’m sorry, I don’t think I understand.”

You paused mid-sentence, blinking once, and for a brief second he braced himself for the usual reaction, disappointment, irritation, or that awful, pitying smile.

But instead, you softened. “I’m sorry, Gideon,” you said quickly, voice kind. “Sometimes I forget that I read too much.”

Then you backtracked, calmly and clearly, explaining everything without making him feel like he was back in high school again. And that was when he knew.

Not just that he liked you, but that he really liked you. Because you made him want to learn more. Not to impress you, but to keep up with you. To walk beside you instead of trailing behind.

He adored you. More than he ever thought he could adore someone. It wasn’t just the brilliance, though that alone would’ve knocked him off his feet, it was the way your mind never seemed to rest. You were always thinking, always calculating, always three steps ahead of the room. Sometimes too far ahead. Too smart for your own good.

He’d watch it happen: the way your brow would crease just slightly, your fingers tapping against your leg as your mind spun out into a dozen hypotheticals. What if you missed something? What if the numbers were wrong? What if someone found a flaw in your strategy or a hole in your logic? You chased perfection like it owed you something, and when it kept slipping through your fingers, it wore you down.

That’s when Gideon would step in. He would quietly, gently, with a steady hand on your back and a soft “Hey, babe,” like a grounding wire.

He didn’t try to fix it with solutions, not right away. Just with presence. Sometimes he’d drag you out for a walk, or settle behind you on the couch and start braiding your hair just to give your mind something else to focus on. Other times he’d pull you into his lap and kiss your temple until your breathing slowed.

“You don’t gotta carry it all,” he’d murmur. “Let me take some.”

And you did. Eventually.

In turn, you shared your world with him, not to impress, but to invite. You sent him articles you thought he’d like, highlighted the parts that reminded you of a conversation you’d had with him. You started watching documentaries after dinner together, curled up on the couch with popcorn and commentary. He didn’t always catch every reference or statistic, but he’d ask questions, and you’d light up all over again, because he wanted to know.

You made each other better. Stronger.

And on nights when you fell asleep mid-episode, glasses slipping down your nose and laptop still open on your lap, Gideon would just smile to himself and whisper, “God, I love you,” like it was the most obvious truth in the world.

sorry i couldn't find out how to ask on your other blog.

that book binding you posted is gorgeous btw !!

I noticed that in one of the photos you included the disclaimer that you also edited it. I just had a question about how you formatted the text.

one of my biggest gripes with AO3 is text formatting (i often feel like i'm reading a legal document vs a novel/story) . Did you change how it is formatted on AO3 compared to printed?

I feel like i'm in the 0.5% that hate AO3 formatting but i thought i might as well ask in case you have any tips for that. >,>

(also how do you decide on the page size, do you just choose a standard size for all your projects? or do you vary it depending on what you are binding?)

thanks so much for taking the time to answer and for sharing your projects :) !!!!!!!!!!!

hey anon! I have asks turned off for the sideblog, but happy to answer here. Thanks very much!

I'm taking this opportunity to info-dump and link a lot of resources. I think they're useful for people new to either typesetting or bookbinding, but not all are directly related to your queries. That said, hope this is of use!

one of my biggest gripes with AO3 is text formatting (i often feel like i'm reading a legal document vs a novel/story) . Did you change how it is formatted on AO3 compared to printed?

I do a fair bit of editing when I'm binding a fic; typesetting is often the longest part of the process. Your mileage will vary depending on your experience with using word processor software, particularly the paragraph style and page style settings. Another factor is how simple/complicated you want your typeset to look. Replicating a published novel in format is difficult but learnable for a complete beginner.

I'm not equipped to give a full tutorial on how to typeset, but I'll point you towards some useful resources for ficbinding then talk about my own process.

ArmouredSuperHeavy has a tutorial on how to make Ao3's HTML downloads into a printable book in Microsoft Word. I use LibreOffice Writer myself, so this adaptation of the same tutorial is what I follow. Both are very helpful to reference as you're learning the typesetting ropes.

Personally, I don't mess around with HTML. I find it easiest to start by doing a Ctrl+A copy of the Entire Work fic view on Ao3 then pasting that into my word processor. This video tutorial by Beautifully Bound runs through how to do this in Microsoft Word using an AO3 fic as an example, including the associated steps needed to make the fic look novel-like. This is probably the best tutorial to address your gripe with AO3 formatting. Other than that, I'd recommend looking into videos or tutorials about typesetting novels for print. Same idea, and you may get more hits than searching for fanbind/ficbind typesetting tutorials.

More under the cut! Once I start yapping, it's hard to shut me up 🤷‍♀️

As a point of comparison, here's one of my fics on Ao3 and the corresponding typeset side by side:

Beautifully Bound explains this in far better detail than I will, but off the top of my head, the steps involved:

making a new document and setting the default page size to whatever size I want the book's pages to be (A5 or A6 usually). You can also set the margins at this point, taking account of your printer settings.

CTRL+A and copying the entire work's text on AO3 then pasting it into the document.

removing all hyperlinks and AO3 frontmatter, things like the author tags, summary, notes, etc as well as any website text that got copied over alongside the fic.

(optional) running a spell check and ensuring grammar usage is consistent. For me that's substituting em dashes for hyphens between clauses, enforcing curly double quotation marks for dialogue, etc. LibreOffice Writer automates a lot of this with customisable settings, via Tools -> Auto-Correct. Here's also where to make sure character names are all spelled right, convert the text to or from US to UK English, etc.

picking out fonts for the body text, headers, page numbers, etc. This is where you'll want to use paragraph style settings. Page style settings also comes in clutch if, for example, you'd like different headers on alternating pages. I like having the author on the right, the fic title on the left.

setting the body text first line indent to whatever makes sense visually). This in particular helps make the fic feel more like a novel. You can also play around with line spacing and space between paragraphs at this stage. For this A6 typeset, I had a 0.75cm first line indent, 1.15 line spacing, and 0.15 spacing between paragraphs.

(optional) formatting the first line of the work to use small capitals and to add a drop caps to the first letter of the first word. Again, this is a convention in publishing which add a novel-like feeling to a printed fanwork.

Inserting page numbers, adding images, coming up with how I wanted the "copyright" page to look—optional for the most part, but these are details that make a fic appear more like a novel.

For multi-chapter works, there's extra work in formatting chapter titles as headings so that they're referenced correctly in the automatic table of contents word processors can generate.

Once you have a typeset you're happy with, and if you're considering printing and binding it as a book, then you'll need to look into how to create and print signatures. Personally, this is something I had to actually try (and mess up a bunch of times) before I got to grips with it. Understanding how both your printer and your PDF reader work, particularly printer margins and booklet print settings, is key.

I won't go into as much detail on this, but if it's something you have an interest in, I'd recommend starting with DAS Bookbinding's tutorial. DAS has tutorials for everything bookbinding related so when in doubt, check his channel! Plenty of other YouTubers also have good videos on making signatures.

This resource is extremely useful once you've got your head around how to print signatures manually, so here's a link for anyone in that space: GitHub Bookbinding Imposer. Essentially, this does the signature creation for you, removing the need for booklet print settings in your PDF reader.

also how do you decide on the page size, do you just choose a standard size for all your projects? or do you vary it depending on what you are binding?

I have access to both A4 and A5 sized paper and my printer can handle printing on either size. In bookbinding, normally two pages are printed per side of the paper (which are then folded in half as part of a signature). That is, when I print on A4 paper, it's to make an A5 sized book. Printing on A5 paper will yield an A6 sized book.

Before I begin typesetting, I'll usually know what paper I plan to use, so the typeset will be one size down from the paper. So far, I've made softcover pamphlets at A6 size and casebound books in A5. No real method of choice for me, it's whatever I feel most suits the project.

If you made it this far anon, thanks for reading! Here's links to a few general resources if bookbinding is something you'd like to explore more:

How easy to use is Ren'Py, for someone who views code as an undecipherable monster?

If you're suuuuuper frightened by code, Ren'Py probably isn't the way to go, unless really simple stuff is in your wheelhouse. It takes only some very simple code to make something viable in Ren'Py. Code as simple as:

show eileen happy at left with move e "Images can take at clauses that specify where on the screen they are shown." show eileen vhappy at left e "Showing a new image with the same first part of the name replaces the image in the scene list." hide eileen with dissolve e "Finally, the hide statement hides an image, which is useful when a character leaves the scene."

But that's still code, and maybe that's still too much for you. For Mice Tea we got fancy with some animations and such and some more complicated passages would be stuff like:

And then when we were creating custom features like our character viewer, it was legit python code like this:

So what Ren'Py allows you to do runs a huge gamut of possible coding ability.

The nice thing is it's free and the tutorial's built right into it. If your scope of what you want to do is have two characters show up on two sides of a background and talk, then you can do that without much trouble. Give it a shot and see how you feel.

everyone who knows me ever: Never do a Nuzlocke in Pokemon. You will be too sad. You already get overly attached to your pokemon and worry about them getting hurt, it will not be a fun time.

me, an intellectual: but what if...?

***

I am, contrary to most purposes of a nuzlocke, not doing it for the suffering or to make the game feel harder. The thing is, I've never finished a pokemon game? I chicken out in the late game, usually right before the Elite Four, because I get too stressed about creating the absolute perfect optimal team, catching every available pokemon, overleveling them all, researching every move and build and strategy in however many generations...

So last night I started a Brilliant Diamond nuzlocke (it being that or Scarlet/Violet, and the running around in tall grass for random encounters you can't see is kind of an important part of the nuzlocke experience I am going for). I picked Turtwig despite Grass being a type with a lot of weaknesses, because Turtwig is fucking adorable and I like turtles. My friend @tabbiewolfreblogs suggested naming it A'Tuin, and I wound up going for mostly Discworld themed nicknames so far.

The rules:

* If they faint, they retire and go to a nice farm in one of my boxes where they do not have to battle anymore. They are not dead. Nobody has retired yet though. *fingers crossed*

* I can only catch and use one pokemon per area, usually the first one I encounter. This is what makes me want to do the nuzlocke; if I can't get bogged down farming for the perfect team, I have to actually go do shit, and I might get all the way through having to go do the Elite Four, if I don't chicken out again.

* If I beat the game, I get to stop with it being a nuzlocke and try out the postgame shit in a normal way, since I have never tried pokemon postgame, and that's where a lot of stuff opens up. It's one of the big reasons I struggle with Pokemon, I think-- I've mostly played games that have no postgame (Mass Effect, Zelda), and ACNH is technically all postgame after the tutorial, but Pokemon has a bunch of main story content and then a bunch of postgame, and it throws me off my "complete everything before rolling credits" stride.

* Duplicates clause: If I catch a pokemon and then my first encounter in another area is that same pokemon, I can keep farming the new area until I get something else. Thus for instance I have a Geodude and a Zubat from the two cave areas I've done so far, instead of two Geodude.

* Shiny clause: If I should run across a wild shiny at any time, I am allowed to catch and use it. (This is extremely unlikely in BDSP. I've gotten one or two wild shinies in SV because you can see them being shiny in the overworld.)

So far I have collected approximately ten pokemon, nearly gotten my ass beat by Barry on leaving Jubilife City, and beaten Roark with a single Turtwig without even having to heal. (I'm spending a lot of money on Potions though. Just in case.) I surprised myself by actually being willing to go after Roark without being overleveled or even *at* level -- his "ace" or highest-level final pokemon is level 14 and I was heading into his gym with a level 13 Turtwig and no other supereffective moves.

I ended off last evening outside Valley Windworks, having caught a Buizel and run out of Discworld ideas to nickname it. I need to beat Valley Windworks and Eterna Forest before going after Gardenia, whose ace is a level 22 Roserade (I am absolutely keeping up my habit of peeking at everybody's teams on Serebii).

YO how do you do a soullink on explorers??? that sounds so fun,,, id like to do that with a friend :0

Definitely having a blast with it! Me and my friend decided we wanted to mix it up a bit after doing several main series randomizer soul links, here's the way we've been doing it:

General PMD Soul Link Rules

Pick the same hero and partner. Your hero is your friend's partner and vice versa, with the same names and team name! You're in this together and are each other's partners.

Give them the same moves in both games and discuss changes to the movepool together - will this move benefit your hero? Does that work for your friend's partner?

(example: I'm playing as a Rowlet, level up and can learn aromatherapy. After some discussion I teach it - I have a move I'm fine with scrapping and my friend's zorua hero is struggling with poison traps, so his partner having a way to cure poison is super helpful. Once Rowlet is the same level in his game, he teaches it too. You can also teach TMs if you both already own the same one and can decide what move to replace.)

Go through story and dungeons together at the same pace. Found the stairs? Great! Tell your partner and wait at the stairs till they find them too, or go up but don't explore till they join you.

For non story missions, pick a dungeon you can both get jobs in and do that. It's okay if they're on different floors or if you have more/less than your partner, just go through floors together till one of you finishes first and can leave. The other person can continue on alone if needed.

If one of you faints in a dungeon, no resets, you gotta take the loss. The other person also needs to press the 'give up' button and also take the loss. Sorry about your money/items.

If you choose to add new recruits, send them back to the guild immediately, until your partner gets one too (up to you if they have to be the same species but they have to be from the same dungeon/recruitment method, with the same nickname). No hard rule on movesets for extras. If an extra team member faints for one person, the other should send them home.

We didn't set any rules about item usage - those are all fair game and don't have to be the same.

The only exception is using joy/golden seeds at the same time, just so we're at fairly similar strength.

You can do this with any pmd game! Ofc only eos can do randomizers, but if that element isn't important to you, go wild.

This is obvious, but communication is key! You gotta make sure you know where the other person is up to and work through things together, really helps with the immersion too.

For randomized runs

Randomizers will obviously need to use eos, due to being done with Skytemple Randomizer. To get the full experience you also might wanna get Skytemple and edit the hero and partner lists in order to have both your hero and partner choices available interchangeably (Eg. Having mew as a hero choice is fine, but if they're not a partner choice as well you'll need to edit that).

If you gotta edit the hero and partner choices here's a simple screenshot based tutorial on how to do that!

We're playing our randomizer with the same seed and it's great, plus it makes it easier to talk about which characters are doing what. Discovering the randomized chapter names and character switchups together is pretty priceless too.

We've noticed the ROM we generated seems to crash a lot for some reason (may be some of the patches we added idk), so we're working with a crash clause too - if the game crashes while on an exploration, the other person has just gotta wait for them to catch up. If one of you then faints on that same exploration, the other can continue to just wait while the one who fainted is permitted to reset - otherwise the crashes REALLY start to suck all the fun out of it.

Don't randomize ROMs that use the expand pokelist patch. If you don't know what that is, you probably don't need to worry about it. Expanded sky uses this too though, so DON'T RANDOMIZE EXPANDED SKY. idk why you get something like uhh. This:

Ofc they're not set rules and you can alter them all you like, but that's how we've been playing! I'm currently playing as a Rowlet called Bacon, and my friend is playing as a Zorua called Snickers. Our team is called Mintyfresh and we escaped the future and got to treeshroud forest last night :)

At a time where YouTube tutorials and DIY blogs are gaining popularity, it is tempting to take the home security in your hands. You may want to do everything yourself, from installing door locks to managing the deadbolts. These videos make you believe all you need is a screwdriver and a new deadbolt along with a few hours would do the job.

But the truth is, lock installation without professional locksmith Jacksonville Florida is a lot more complicated. You need to invest time and money to complete the task. What seems like money saving technique may end up making you feel vulnerable. It can also increase your expenses leaving your home in a vulnerable state.

There are several hidden dangers to DIY lock installation that you may not know. Here, we are sharing some of them for your understanding, so that you don’t make the mistake of not hiring a mobile locksmith Jacksonville.

• One of the biggest DIY mistakes occurs when your lock ends up being misaligned with the strike plate. Even the smallest miscalculation can make sure that the latch and bolt do not engage with each other. Eventually, you will get a door that doesn’t lock properly or worse that can be opened with minimal force. While your misaligned lock may feel like its working, it doesn’t guarantee full protection. With fewer tools the intruder can open the latch and door and get inside. When you hire a trained locksmith, you get the precision in lock and strike plate alignment. This would ensure the structural integrity of the door.

• The second biggest mistake that occurs when you do the installation yourself includes wrong lock type. You might end up choosing a lock that is not designed for your door. For instance, you might install the exterior lock on the interior door and vice versa. While it can give you a false sense of security, you might notice that your home is vulnerable to breakins when you don’t call the professional locksmith Jacksonville Florida. Some of the examples of mismatched lock installations include standard doorknob lock as your only security measure. When you install a deadbolt on the hollow-core interior door, it can lead to mismatched installation and cause vulnerabilities. Lastly, when you choose a smart lock without taking into consideration the door thickness or backset compatibility. In this case, the biggest risk you would face is lock-to-door incompatibility that leads to break-ins.

• When you conduct a DIY installation, you focus on the lock. However, you end up overlooking the hardware. By adding reinforced strike plates and security screws are important as they can improve the strength along the entry points. If you use a standard deadbolt, you may find the screws are too short and the door frame isn’t reinforced. The strike plates are not designed to handle forced entry.  When you conduct a DIY installation, you end up getting a door that can easily be opened.

• In case you use locks and install it yourself, you may not get the warranties. Most manufacturers have this clause added that mention the locks should be installed by professional mobile locksmith Jacksonville only. In case that doesn’t happen, you may not get the cover for break-ins.

This SQL Trick Cut My Query Time by 80%

How One Simple Change Supercharged My Database Performance

If you work with SQL, you’ve probably spent hours trying to optimize slow-running queries — tweaking joins, rewriting subqueries, or even questioning your career choices. I’ve been there. But recently, I discovered a deceptively simple trick that cut my query time by 80%, and I wish I had known it sooner.

Here’s the full breakdown of the trick, how it works, and how you can apply it right now.

🧠 The Problem: Slow Query in a Large Dataset

I was working with a PostgreSQL database containing millions of records. The goal was to generate monthly reports from a transactions table joined with users and products. My query took over 35 seconds to return, and performance got worse as the data grew.

Here’s a simplified version of the original query:

sql

SELECT

u.user_id,

SUM(t.amount) AS total_spent

FROM

transactions t

JOIN

users u ON t.user_id = u.user_id

WHERE

t.created_at >= '2024-01-01'

AND t.created_at < '2024-02-01'

GROUP BY

u.user_id, http://u.name;

No complex logic. But still painfully slow.

⚡ The Trick: Use a CTE to Pre-Filter Before the Join

The major inefficiency here? The join was happening before the filtering. Even though we were only interested in one month’s data, the database had to scan and join millions of rows first — then apply the WHERE clause.

✅ Solution: Filter early using a CTE (Common Table Expression)

Here’s the optimized version:

sql

WITH filtered_transactions AS (

SELECT *

FROM transactions

WHERE created_at >= '2024-01-01'

AND created_at < '2024-02-01'

)

SELECT

u.user_id,

SUM(t.amount) AS total_spent

FROM

filtered_transactions t

JOIN

users u ON t.user_id = u.user_id

GROUP BY

u.user_id, http://u.name;

Result: Query time dropped from 35 seconds to just 7 seconds.

That’s an 80% improvement — with no hardware changes or indexing.

🧩 Why This Works

Databases (especially PostgreSQL and MySQL) optimize join order internally, but sometimes they fail to push filters deep into the query plan.

By isolating the filtered dataset before the join, you:

Reduce the number of rows being joined

Shrink the working memory needed for the query

Speed up sorting, grouping, and aggregation

This technique is especially effective when:

You’re working with time-series data

Joins involve large or denormalized tables

Filters eliminate a large portion of rows

🔍 Bonus Optimization: Add Indexes on Filtered Columns

To make this trick even more effective, add an index on created_at in the transactions table:

sql

CREATE INDEX idx_transactions_created_at ON transactions(created_at);

This allows the database to quickly locate rows for the date range, making the CTE filter lightning-fast.

🛠 When Not to Use This

While this trick is powerful, it’s not always ideal. Avoid it when:

Your filter is trivial (e.g., matches 99% of rows)

The CTE becomes more complex than the base query

Your database’s planner is already optimizing joins well (check the EXPLAIN plan)

🧾 Final Takeaway

You don’t need exotic query tuning or complex indexing strategies to speed up SQL performance. Sometimes, just changing the order of operations — like filtering before joining — is enough to make your query fly.

“Think like the database. The less work you give it, the faster it moves.”

If your SQL queries are running slow, try this CTE filtering trick before diving into advanced optimization. It might just save your day — or your job.

SQL Tutorial for Beginners: Learn How to Query Databases

In today’s data-driven world, almost every application, website, or business process involves data in some form. From your favorite e-commerce platform to your personal banking app, data is stored, managed, and retrieved using databases. To interact with these databases, we use a powerful language called SQL.

If you’re a beginner looking to learn how to query databases, you’re in the right place. This SQL tutorial will introduce you to the basics of SQL (Structured Query Language) and explain how you can use it to communicate with databases—no programming experience required.

What is SQL?

SQL stands for Structured Query Language. It’s the standard language used to store, retrieve, manage, and manipulate data in relational databases—databases that store data in tables, much like spreadsheets.

Think of a relational database as a collection of tables, where each table contains rows and columns. Each column has a specific type of data, like names, dates, or prices, and each row is a record (an entry) in the table.

Why Learn SQL?

SQL is one of the most in-demand skills for developers, data analysts, data scientists, and even marketers and business professionals. Here’s why learning SQL is a great idea:

Universal: It’s used by nearly every industry that deals with data.

Easy to Learn: SQL has a relatively simple and readable syntax.

Powerful: SQL allows you to ask complex questions and get exactly the data you need.

Great for Career Growth: SQL knowledge is a key skill in many tech and data-focused roles.

Core Concepts You Need to Know

Before jumping into actual queries, it’s helpful to understand some key concepts and terminology:

1. Tables

A table is a collection of data organized in rows and columns. For example, a Customers table might include columns like CustomerID, Name, Email, and Phone.

2. Rows

Each row in a table is a record. For example, one row in the Customers table could represent a single person.

3. Columns

Each column represents a specific attribute of the data. In our example, Email is a column that stores email addresses of customers.

4. Queries

A query is a question you ask the database. You use SQL to write queries and tell the database what information you want to retrieve.

Basic SQL Commands for Beginners

Here are the most commonly used SQL statements that beginners should become familiar with:

1. SELECT

The SELECT statement is used to read or retrieve data from a table. It’s the most commonly used SQL command.

Example (in simple English): "Show me all the data in the Customers table."

2. WHERE

The WHERE clause helps you filter results based on specific conditions.

Example: "Show me all customers whose country is Canada."

3. ORDER BY

You can sort the data using the ORDER BY clause.

Example: "Show customers sorted by their names in alphabetical order."

4. INSERT INTO

This command adds new records (rows) to a table.

Example: "Add a new customer named Alice with her email and phone number."

5. UPDATE

This modifies existing records in a table.

Example: "Change the phone number of customer with ID 10."

6. DELETE

This removes records from a table.

Example: "Delete the customer with ID 15."

A Real-Life Example: Online Store

Imagine you run an online store, and you have a table called Products. This table includes columns like ProductID, Name, Category, and Price.

With SQL, you could:

Find all products in the “Electronics” category.

List the top 5 most expensive products.

Update the price of a specific product.

Remove discontinued items.

SQL allows you to manage all of this with a few clear instructions.

How to Practice SQL

Learning SQL is best done by doing. Fortunately, there are many free and interactive tools you can use to practice writing SQL queries without needing to install anything:

Tpoint Tech (tpointtech.com/sql-tutorial)

W3Schools SQL Tutorial (w3schools.com/sql)

LeetCode SQL problems (great for more advanced practice)

Mode SQL Tutorial (mode.com/sql-tutorial)

These platforms let you write and test queries directly in your browser, often with real-world examples.

Final Thoughts

SQL is a foundational tool for anyone working with data. Whether you're a developer managing back-end systems, a data analyst exploring customer trends, or a marketer analyzing campaign results, knowing how to query databases will empower you to make smarter, data-driven decisions.

This beginner-friendly tutorial is just the first step. As you become more comfortable with SQL, you'll be able to write more complex queries, join multiple tables, and dive into advanced topics like subqueries and database design.

Benefits of Hash Objects

No need for pre-sorting data.

Faster lookups compared to traditional merge techniques.

Works well for one-to-many and many-to-many relationships.

Instead of reading and processing the same dataset multiple times, hash objects store key-value pairs in memory, enabling instant retrieval of information.

3. Optimizing Data Manipulation with PROC SQL

PROC SQL is a flexible and efficient way to query and manipulate data within SAS. Understanding how to optimize SQL queries will significantly improve performance.

Key Techniques for PROC SQL Optimization

Use subqueries to simplify complex queries.

Apply WHERE clauses early to filter data before processing.

Avoid unnecessary sorting by using GROUP BY carefully.

PROC SQL is especially useful when working with large datasets, as it allows you to manipulate data without needing multiple steps.

4. Combining These Techniques for Maximum Efficiency

To get the most out of SAS programming, you can combine arrays, hash objects, and PROC SQL for a more efficient workflow.

For example:

Use arrays to transform multiple variables in a single step.

Store lookup tables in memory using hash objects, avoiding unnecessary joins.

Use PROC SQL to retrieve only the necessary data before further processing.

This approach significantly reduces processing time and ensures that your SAS programs run efficiently.

Final Thoughts

Mastering advanced data manipulation techniques in SAS can help you work with complex datasets more effectively. Whether you're dealing with big data, automating transformations, or optimizing your queries, using arrays, hash objects, and PROC SQL will make your code more efficient.

This SAS tutorial has covered essential concepts to help you take your data manipulation skills to the next level. By integrating these techniques into your workflow, you’ll be able to handle large-scale data processing with ease, making your SAS programming more powerful and efficient.

Mastering LINQ Query Syntax in C#: Select and Where Clauses Explained

LINQ (Language Integrated Query) is a versatile feature in C# that allows developers to query data from various sources such as arrays, collections, databases, and XML in a consistent manner. One of its key strengths lies in its query syntax, which is intuitive and resembles SQL. Understanding the LINQ query syntax in C# is essential for writing clean and efficient code, especially when working with data manipulation tasks.

What is LINQ Query Syntax in C#?

LINQ query syntax is a declarative way of writing queries in C#. It enables developers to write queries similar to SQL, making it easy to filter, sort, and transform data. Unlike method syntax, which uses extension methods, query syntax uses keywords like from, where, select, and orderby. This syntax is not only more readable but also easier for beginners to understand.

Here is a basic example of LINQ query syntax:int[] numbers = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 }; var evenNumbers = from num in numbers where num % 2 == 0 select num; foreach (var number in evenNumbers) { Console.WriteLine(number); }

Exploring LINQ Select Clause in C#

The LINQ select clause in C# is used to define the data that should be retrieved or transformed. It acts as the final step in a LINQ query and determines the structure of the result. For instance, you can use the select clause to project specific fields or create new objects.

Here’s an example:var employees = new[] { new { Name = "Alice", Age = 30 }, new { Name = "Bob", Age = 25 }, new { Name = "Charlie", Age = 35 } }; var employeeNames = from emp in employees select emp.Name; foreach (var name in employeeNames) { Console.WriteLine(name); }

The select clause here extracts only the Name property from each employee object, demonstrating how it can simplify data selection.

Using LINQ Where Clause in C#

The LINQ where clause in C# is used to filter data based on specified conditions. It allows you to include only those elements that meet the criteria defined in the where clause. This makes it incredibly useful for scenarios requiring precise data filtering.

For example:var students = new[] { new { Name = "John", Grade = 85 }, new { Name = "Jane", Grade = 92 }, new { Name = "Bill", Grade = 70 } }; var topStudents = from student in students where student.Grade > 80 select student; foreach (var student in topStudents) { Console.WriteLine($"{student.Name}: {student.Grade}"); }

The where clause filters out students who scored more than 80, demonstrating its role in refining query results.

Why Master LINQ Query Syntax in C#?

Mastering LINQ query syntax in C# gives you the ability to write concise, readable, and efficient queries. It simplifies complex data manipulation tasks and reduces the need for nested loops and conditional statements. By leveraging the select and where clauses effectively, you can build queries that are both powerful and easy to maintain.

SQL Programming Made Easy: A Comprehensive Tutorial for Beginners

Are you new to the world of databases and programming? Don't worry; SQL (Structured Query Language) might sound intimidating at first, but it's actually quite straightforward once you get the hang of it. In this comprehensive tutorial, we'll walk you through everything you need to know to get started with SQL programming. By the end, you'll be equipped with the foundational knowledge to manage and query databases like a pro.

1. Understanding Databases

Before diving into SQL, let's understand what databases are. Think of a database as a structured collection of data. It could be anything from a simple list of contacts to a complex inventory management system. Databases organize data into tables, which consist of rows and columns. Each row represents a record, while each column represents a specific attribute or field.

2. What is SQL?

SQL (Structured Query Language) is a specialized language used to interact with databases. It allows you to perform various operations such as retrieving data, inserting new records, updating existing records, and deleting unnecessary data. SQL is not specific to any particular database management system (DBMS); it's a standard language that is widely used across different platforms like MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and SQL Server.

3. Basic SQL Commands

Let's start with some basic SQL commands:

SELECT: This command is used to retrieve data from a database.

INSERT INTO: It adds new records to a table.

UPDATE: It modifies existing records in a table.

DELETE: It removes records from a table.

CREATE TABLE: It creates a new table in the database.

DROP TABLE: It deletes an existing table.

4. Retrieving Data with SELECT

The SELECT statement is one of the most commonly used SQL commands. It allows you to retrieve data from one or more tables based on specified criteria. Here's a simple example:

sql

Copy code

SELECT column1, column2 FROM table_name WHERE condition;

This query selects specific columns from a table based on a certain condition.

5. Filtering Data with WHERE

The WHERE clause is used to filter records based on specified criteria. For example:

sql

Copy code

SELECT * FROM employees WHERE department = 'IT';

This query selects all records from the "employees" table where the department is 'IT'.

6. Inserting Data with INSERT INTO

The INSERT INTO statement is used to add new records to a table. Here's how you can use it:

sql

Copy code

INSERT INTO table_name (column1, column2) VALUES (value1, value2);

This query inserts a new record into the specified table with the given values for each column.

7. Updating Records with UPDATE

The UPDATE statement is used to modify existing records in a table. For example:

sql

Copy code

UPDATE employees SET salary = 50000 WHERE department = 'HR';

This query updates the salary of employees in the HR department to 50000.

8. Deleting Data with DELETE

The DELETE statement is used to remove records from a table. Here's an example:

sql

Copy code

DELETE FROM students WHERE grade = 'F';

This query deletes all records from the "students" table where the grade is 'F'.

9. Conclusion

Congratulations! You've just scratched the surface of SQL programming. While this tutorial covers the basics, there's still a lot more to learn. As you continue your journey, don't hesitate to explore more advanced topics such as joins, subqueries, and indexing. Practice regularly and experiment with different queries to solidify your understanding. With dedication and perseverance, you'll soon become proficient in SQL programming and unlock endless possibilities in database management and data analysis. Happy coding!
