I've read the terms of service, and, from what I understand, I'm not allowed to store any information I retrieve from the Google Maps API. Are there any exceptions to this? More to the point, I'm planning on building an application that shows the user several points of interest (like restaurants, libraries etc) at a certain distance aro...
I'm working on a PHP web app and I'm trying to use the MVC model. I have a lot of things that exist as 'database entities' -- a row, or a set of related rows, that are conceptually one human recognizable 'thing'. So I often try to provide an interface to that thing in a model class. So of course, the run of the mill functionality is t...

I would like to iterate a calculation over a column of values in a MySQL database. I wondered if Django had any built-in functionality for doing this.

I'm coming to Postgres from Oracle and looking for a way to find the table and index size in terms of bytes/MB/GB/etc, or even better the size for all tables. In Oracle I had a nasty long query that looked at user_lobs and user_segments to give back an answer. I assume in Postgres there's something I can use in the information_schema t...
I am fairly new to C. (I have good knowledge of C# [Visual Studio] and Java [Eclipse]) I want to make a program that stores information. My first instinct was to use a database like SQL Server. But I don't think that it is compatible with C. So now I have two options: Create a struct (also typedef) containing the data types. Find a way...
I'm looking for a way to find the row count for all my tables in Postgres. I know I can do this one table at a time with a select count(*) from table_name; but I'd like to see the row count for all the tables and the order by that to get an idea of how big all my tables are. ...

I'm trying to come up with (or find) a reusable system for database schema versioning in php projects. There are a number of Rails-style migration projects available for php. http://code.google.com/p/mysql-php-migrations/ is a good example. It uses timestamps for migration files, which helps with conflicts between branches. General pro...
