Bringing intelligence to the business since 2001.

Sometime I should really get around to writing my monograph on insurance industry data models:

"The humble policy dimension - how hard can it be?"

This needs chucking over to SO: dba.stackexchange.com/questions/222401/…

Data modelling is common sense. I wish more people had common sense

@Philᵀᴹ I'm in two minds about it. The metamodel for a database is not all that complicated but folks tend to screw data models up on a regular basis. I think a lot of people just don't have the cognitive faculties to visualise a model properly.

I've seen a lot of systems built where the DW model tracks the structure of a primary data source (usually a policy administration system) pretty closely. One might think that building a platform-agnostic model shouldn't be hard, but I think it takes a bit of experience and wisdom to know what you're doing with that sort of model.

So many bad designs.

This is interesting: ramcloud.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/RAM/overview?mode=global

@Philᵀᴹ I presume they must have some sort of persistent logging mechanism. Relying on volatile storage - no matter how much redundancy - seems like playing with fire.

What's everyone's stand on answers like this:

It is a response to a MySQL question answered using SQL Server syntax.

@hot2use That would be a poor answer even if it was for a SQL Server question IMO

@TomV Thanks. I was starting to second-guess myself.

The community here has historically tolerated answers for a different database system from that given in the question, but my impression is that the quality bar for such answers is higher than normal.

The answer doesn't even explain the principle. It's just a wall of code with "it's easy to understand"

@TomV +1

Moderator Flag?

I just down voted

@JackDouglas Hey Jack, just to let you know, the MySQL 8 instance doesn't seem to be working (as expected)

@AndriyM On my first reading, I thought you meant that MySQL 8 not working was to be expected =P

just a reminder 10K+ users, the DROP QUESTION queue is live, and could use your help!

@jadarnel27 I feared it could be confusing. I realised that myself, only it was a little too late.

The chat message edit time limit strikes again.

@MaxVernon only 8 deletes each hour

@McNets Did you perhaps mean "each day"?

@AndriyM You've reached the maximum of 8 Deletion votes per day; come back in 3 hours

That's the message

@McNets thanks for helping!

damn Texas is cold right now

@EvanCarroll don't even. Drive straight north 1800 miles and see what it's like :-)

@MaxVernon I'm glad to help

@MaxVernon why would you do that....

Brazil openly hiring a raging genocidal fascist, it's kind of like the warm climates have shit politics, and the cold climates have less shitty politics but from water problems.

God is trying to tell you to GTFO

cold is miserable

no doubt.

just in case anyone from the rest of the world outside the USA wants to know what that forecast really means...

Winter is such a shit season

I'm running for president of my HOA.

@EvanCarroll good luck!

They failed to throw me off the board.

So now, I will take it over. =)

They're gonna love you.

HOA =?

Horsemen Of the Apocalypse?
