Caconym posted:DROP TABLE commonly won't work if there are active connections to the database (at least in SQL Server), use TRUNCATE TABLE instead. That'll preserve the schema, and 'just' delete all the rows in it. Heh, you think MySQL is a real DB with stuff like ACID compliance on default settings.

That would still be slightly overkill today, and would've murdered servers 15 years ago when MySQL together with PHP pretty much started the web 2.0 revolution. Nobody really needs watertight atomization for running blogs and forums. Now of course, the people who learned databases in highschool while hacking their PHPBB installation then insisted MySQL was the bestest thing ever for coding their startup ecommerce and CRM software can get hosed.

You can do this perfectly fine while being ACID and having non-retarded behaviour, even with MySQL, you just have to turn on use strict and configure other make-poo poo-not-retarded features. Or you can use postgres (which is ACID-compliant out of the box and is actually hard to make data-unsafe) but tweak the 32MB RAM settings it has stock on most distributions (which is also kinda retarded). Postgres is actually ridiculously good at being "NoSQL" document storage and/or KV store. I believe reddit ran pg as a KV cache by just telling it to store poo poo in memory and, in their use case, outperformed the alternatives they tested. PG is also faster at being mongo than mongo (for JSON), while being much more robust.

So an e-mail recipient on a different domain is getting all of his e-mails rerouted from @company.com to @yahoo.com. How weird. I saw an e-mail sent to one quoted in a response from the other, so I think the description of the issue is accurate. Users were thinking we would set up some kind of bizarro Exchange rule to do this, but I would think that if I received that request from an outside recipient, I would advise them to have the forwarding configured on their company's server instead. Had them send him a message via a personal gmail account to see if the issue is universal...

I am not a DBA, but I have supported applications that used mysql as a backend. My experience is that mysql tends to be baby's first database, because hey, it's free! The stuff I supported were all custom apps built for the company I worked for at the time. The external developer was under time and cost constraints to deliver a solution, so of course they went with the cheapest thing possible. Given that the app did snmp polling and put the data into mysql, and then made it available via the web, it wasn't the worst choice, but it did not scale to polling a million devices every 10 minutes.

A phone interview came in: Wasn't sure about it way up until the end, it felt like I was doing most of the talking. Put the phone down expecting them to tell me to bugger off. Nope, they want to meet me in person and told me that the positions worth more than what I wanted, so even if they lowball me i'd be happy. The place i'll be going requires me to have a security pass as well as being escorted everywhere, plus they'll need my ID and a picture of me. So yeah, possible

evol262 posted:They won't. Even if the native json type is faster and hstore might be, postgres is not a drop-in replacement for autosharding distributed nosql datastores. Sometimes not a replacement at all. This, a thousand times this, no DB is a panacea, that being said, no one should be using mongo, it has almost literally no valid use case. Postgres-XC is a neat project to bring sharding/distribution to pg but I've never used it. If you're using Riak you're using one of the really really well done models for distribution and concurrency, if well programmed it's one of the few data stores that can handle network partitioning very very well when using CRDT. If you can get over the cheesy graphics and image macros this is a series of blog posts of someone that ran simulations of networking failures on different distributed databases. Start here.

1 month ago: Older guy wants to get a new computer. We set it up for him. 2 weeks ago: Dude comes back, computer's jacked up to hell with every piece of bloated ad-vomiting malware you can name. We clean it, make sure his AV programs are up and running and that it's clean and isn't rooted, and send him back out. Today: Dude comes back, computer's even more heavily infected than the last time. How? Is this guy looking at german dungeon porn 24/7 or something? I have a netbook in for a virus removal as well which belonged to a hispanic guy who barely spoke english and it took it five years to reach that stage. How did this guy do it twice in one month?  I'd be actually angry and not merely baffled if it wasn't for me being able to squeeze another couple hundred dollars every time he brings this thing in, but still.

Same here -- a local business owner has been calling me up every 3-6 weeks like clockwork from the time he ordered his new desktop. He recognizes that he's visiting "sites he shouldn't be" but thinks it's a problem with the machine itself. He's gone so far as to call Dell and complain that they need to send him a replacement. Guy is on a whole different level, but hey he's a paying client so ...

Before he brings it to you, I bet he's uninstalling that application, because he's embarrassed about it. You should check the event log for installer activity in the days after you last returned it to him, to see if you can find what he is installing. Also, if he has family/friends that is using it, well....

So our phone system was hacked last week and some international calls were made from our numbers. Now the fault lies in that 10 years ago when they purchased the system it was never set up correctly so a forward was set from one of our voicemail systems and abused. Our ISP caught the outbound calls and within 1 hour of the first one they were blocked. Seems to me like a reasonable response time for this. My boss is now angry with me because I won't call the ISP and argue with them about the bill. She's currently on the phone with them threatening to leave for another ISP so it get's credited back. Even though this is our loving fault 100%. Any other provider would have just let the calls come through and charged us thousands or more. The best part is I'm not even on the phone account so what the gently caress am I supposed to do? poo poo drives me insane some days. This is also the same person who spent $500 on a TV that we mounted on the wall (twice in 2 different locations, including having techs come in to rewire a building after having them pre-wire it a month before) only for it to stay turned off for the last 6 months.

That's what I like about Gandi's "no bullshit" policy - if they gently caress up they will hold their hands up and admit it. If you gently caress up and try to blame them they will tell you where to go.

m.hache posted:Phone ports never go easily. Thanks for reminding me. We're planning to move off these ancient Nortel Norstar PBXs to something a little more modern (they seem bent on Lync and won't look at anything else) and not from a company that went belly up in the 90s. I'm absolutely dreading that transition since I'm the only one that knows anything about PBXs and I've only used FreePBX at a hobby level.

Oh, I have. Several times even. They told me to fire up a VM and learn about Lync Server because we're a non-profit that doesn't like to spend money. They seem to think that this a reasonable solution to me having a panic attack about this.

If they want you to learn then dig out a classroom course they can send you on to learn about Lync. Otherwise just throw it in, gently caress it up totally, clock out and go home. Make sure you keep all your emails.
