I once answered a question that asked how Stack Overflow makes money, but that was before the time of VC.
Now, Stack Overflow has cash, and they have an ever-growing list of employees, but where's the business model?
The Experts-Exchange team took the time to answer its own Q&A about its site (...
@AndriyM too bad that EE post they refer to multiple times does not exist anymore
@profile101 did you create a data model before starting creating tables? If so, you have your stuff done. There are very few cases when a 1:1 relationship between tables is needed. So, either you go with a single table (if the nature of your data dictates that) or normalize properly.
@dezso thanks, may i go with single table for storing 14 columns also , i want to retrieve rows quickly, so is any problem will happen if i create in single table , later can we cut and paste to multiple tables ?
nice, than we are providing an option for registered users to select checkbox for not to receieve emails from site. is we need to create separate column to store the values like - "checkbox is checked" or "checkbox is unchecked"
OTOH, if there can be only one name (password, etc.) attached to a given email address (or user ID), it is better keeping them in the same table
one more misconception is about sparing joins - even MySQL (sorry) is quite good at joining, until reaching a certain complexity
this is what RDBMS are designed for
@profile101 no - it is a single attribute with two possible values (checked/unchecked). AFAIK, in MySQL you'd use a tinyint (not having a real boolean type)
@profile101 Now your chat user's parent user link points to a non-existent profile. Maybe you should request that your account be restored, otherwise you might want to change your parent user.
As other comments and answers have pointed out, it would be very hard to find a way for any life to survive on the sun, even with a super material like that.
But lets see if we can alleviate some of the problems:

> I'm at my first programming job for less than a year and I couldn't figure out how to fix any of the JavaScript issues (I was hired for my JavaScript knowledge). Some of the solutions were simple. So I posted several coding questions on StackOverflow and one of them got answered by a co-worker. 5 minutes later, I changed my profile info - made up fake stuff - in case he could figure out who I was :-)
Love your blog post, if only you had courses on Pluralsight on sql server internals.
