True Alphanumeric / natural sorting in MySQL – why is the answer always recursion?

stp2y0 CommentsNewscoding, community, development, engineering, inclusive, mysql, programming, software, sql, webdev

Yesterday I attempted to solve alphanumeric sorting in MySQL and failed. (read that article here) I did get close though and had the right concept, just wrong execution. Today, I woke up and had an epiphany...recursion. The problem with recursion is that you have to understand recursion to be able to do recursion...and I don't understand recursion enough to do recursion in MySQL. However with a bit of Chat Gippity back and forth (by which I mean getting it to write what I asked for, getting back about 25% of what I asked for, fixing it and feeding it into…

Essential SQL Database Security Practices to Protect Your Data

stp2y0 CommentsNewscoding, community, database, development, encryption, engineering, inclusive, security, software, sql

Securing SQL databases involves multiple best practices to safeguard data from unauthorized access, prevent SQL injection attacks, and ensure overall integrity. Here's a hands-on guide, focusing on practical steps you can implement immediately for database security. Step 1: Use Parameterized Queries Parameterized queries prevent SQL injection by separating SQL code from data. Instead of embedding user inputs directly into SQL statements, they are treated as parameters, keeping the structure of the query intact. Example in PHP: Suppose you want to retrieve user data based on an ID parameter: <?php // Connection to the database $conn = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=my_database', 'username', 'password');…

System Design: SQL vs NoSQL databases and what distinguishes them.

stp2y0 CommentsNewscoding, community, database, development, engineering, inclusive, MongoDB, software, sql, systemdesign

In the realm of databases, two primary types of solutions exist, SQL (relational) and NoSQL (non-relational) databases. These two categories differ significantly in their construction, the nature of the data they store, and their storage methods. Relational databases are structured with predefined schemas, while non-relational databases are unstructured, distributed, and feature dynamic schemas. High-level differences Here are some high-level differences between SQL and NoSQL: Storage SQL stores data in tables where each row represents an entity, and each column represents a data point related to that entity. NoSQL databases utilize various data storage models, including key-value, graph, and document-oriented approaches.…
