Summary There is a lot of attention on the database market and cloud data warehouses. While they provide a measure of convenience, they also require you to sacrifice a certain amount of control over your data. If you want to build a warehouse that gives you both control and flexibility then you might consider building on top of the venerable PostgreSQL project.

Big Data enjoys the hype around it and for a reason. But the understanding of the essence of Big Data and ways to analyze it is still blurred. The truth is, there’s more to this term than just the size of information generated. Not only does Big Data apply to the huge volumes of continuously growing data that come in different formats, but it also refers to the range of processes, tools, and approaches used to gain insights from that data.

Our lungs are the only body organs that constantly interact with the external environment, through the air we breathe. This exposure makes the respiratory system extremely susceptible to a wide range of diseases, from long-familiar asthma to novel COVID-19. Subtle at early stages, the signs of lung conditions are easy to overlook. And delays in diagnosis often lead to harsh consequences.

Sometimes, when you are looking at a database’s schema, you see that there are text fields defined like this: email_address varchar ( 191 ) NOT NULL This means that the column supports strings with a maximum length of 191 characters, and can’t be null. 191 is such an odd number - where did it come from? In this post, we’ll look at the historical reasons for the 191 character limit as a default in most relational databases.
