  • Ask HN: What tool(s) do you use to code review and deploy SQL scripts?
    We use https://sqitch.org/ and we’re fairly happy with it. Sqitch manages the files to deploy which are applied fits to a local database. We use GitHub actions for deployment and database migrations are just one step of the pipeline. The step invokes sqitch deploy which runs all the pending migration files. Then, all the approval process is standard for the environment. We require approvals in pull requests... - Source: Hacker News / 21 days ago
  • PostgREST: Providing HTML Content Using Htmx
    I'm experimenting with it right now using Squitch [1] to make maintenance easier. It still feels like a hack and I also still have my doubts about the viability of this for real-world use. It's fun though and I'm learning about all kinds of advanced Postgres features. [1] https://sqitch.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
  • Announcing codd - a tool to apply postgres SQL migrations
    How does it compare with other SQL-based migration tools like Sqitch? Source: about 1 year ago
  • Ask HN: How do you test SQL?
    Yup, same. Last time I set this up I used Sqitch¹ for migrations, which encourages you to write tests for each migration; caught a lot of bugs early that way, all in a local-first dev environment. Worked especially well for Postgres since plpgsql makes it easy to write tests more imperatively. ¹: https://sqitch.org/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • Conceptually how do you handle deploys of SQL related things (table definition, scripts, stored procs etc) in a CI/CD way?
    Sqitch. DB migrations for multiple data stores without a proprietary syntax for DB updates. Git-aware. Integrated unit testing. Https://sqitch.org/ Https://youtu.be/wF4PEe8HD7k. Source: over 1 year ago

  • Efficient Distance Querying in MySQL
    This is an interesting article about strategies to use when traditional indexes just won't do, but for the love of the index please use MySQL's (or postgres' or sqlite's) built in spatial index for this particular class of problems. It will does this sort of thing much, much more efficiently than 99% of in house solutions. https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/spatial-types.html... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
