It was well-received at Open Source Bridge\; now he's gi ving it to an audience of Agile practitioners. \;\n \;\nWe’re all used to unit testing our applications by now. The Extreme and Agile prog ramming movements have done a great deal to promote unit testing\, to th e extent that many of us are now dependent on tests to assure that our a pplications work reliably. But how often do we test the database underly ing our applications? Given that the database\, as the repository for al l of the knowledge and data for an application\, just might be the singl e most important part of that application\, the time for standardized da tabase unit testing has come. \;\n \;\nThis talk promotes the prac tice of writing and running unit tests that directly test the schema\, s torage\, and functionality of application databases. Following a review of the available PostgreSQL unit testing frameworks\, we’ll review examp les of testing tables\, views\, columns\, constraints\, indexes\, trigge rs\, and functions. The idea is to promote complete test coverage every aspect of a database\, independent of application unit tests\, to ensure reliably canonical data integrity. \;\n \;\nPizza and networking at 6:30pm\, 7pm talk\, beer afterwards.\n\nTags: xp\, agile\, database\, tdd\, unit test\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/125045785 5 URL:http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/xpportland/ SUMMARY:XPDX October: Unit Test Your Database LOCATION:PSU Business Accelerator: 2828 SW Corbett Ave\, Portland OR 9720 1 US SEQUENCE:5 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100321T054108Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100415T133000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100415T080000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100321T054108Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100324T201940Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250458464 DESCRIPTION:The Oracle Development Upgrade team will be delivering this s eminar to provide best practices and helpful tips to make your Oracle Da tabase upgrades quick and successful. \;\n \;\nBreakfast and lunch will be served.

While most developers have internalized \ ;\nthe rules of thumb for designing schemas for RDBMSs\, these rules don 't \;\nalways apply to MongoDB. The simple fact that documents can re present \;\nrich\, schema-free data structures means that we have a l ot of viable \;\nalternatives to the standard\, normalized\, relation al model. Not only \;\nthat\, MongoDB has several unique features\, s uch as atomic updates and \;\nindexed array keys\, that greatly influ ence the kinds of schemas that \;\nmake sense. Understandably\, this begets good questions: \;\n \;\n* Are foreign keys permissible\, o r is it better to represent one-to- \;\nmany relations withing a sing le document? \;\n* Are join tables necessary\, or is there another te chnique for building \;\nout many-to-many relationships? \;\n* Wha t level of denormalization is appropriate? \;\n* How do my data model ing decisions affect the efficiency of updates \;\nand queries? \; \n \;\nIn this session\, we'll answer these questions and more\, prov ide a \;\nnumber of data modeling rules of thumb\, and discuss the tr adeoffs of \;\nvarious data modeling strategies. \;\n \;\nABOUT THE GROUP: The Portland Ruby Brigade is a user group for Ruby programme rs in the Portland Oregon area.

Most “migration”-style implementations require opaque n aming conventions\, prefer DSLs that cover a fraction of SQL\, and requi re duplication of code for simple changes to existing functions. Such do es not have to be. And now it’s not \;\n \;\n \;\n \;\nIntro ducing Sqitch\, simple SQL change management that doesn’t suck. Sqitch d oesn’t care what programming language your app is written in. It has no opinions as to what database to use or what its schema should look like. And it doesn’t require sequentially-named migration scripts or the use of any DSL other than SQL. Sqitch lets you to write SQL migration script s that target your database\, and provides a simple\, unintrusive interf ace for specifying dependencies\, so that it can run things in the prope r order. \;\n \;\n \;\n \;\nSo come to this talk to learn al l about Sqitch: How it works\, where to get it\, and how to get the most out of managing database deployments. \;\n \;\n \;\n \;\nDa vid Wheeler is Senior Data Architect at iovation and an associate at PGE xperts. He is responsible\, among other things\, for PGXN\, pgTAP\, Desi gnScene\, and way too many CPAN modules.

That's why so many workers and prospecti ve employees are required to learn Excel to enter or remain in the workp lace. Unfortunately many college students\, recent grads\, and professio nals haven’t mastered Excel or have the adequate Excel skills employers are seeking. According to Payscale\, “ 80 percent of job openings requir e spreadsheet and word-processing software skills. Yet so many people ne ver even give Excel a chance because it has an intimidating stigma aroun d it.” \;\n \;\nIf you walk through the finance or accounting depa rtment at any major corporate office\, you will see computer screens fil led with Excel spreadsheets outlining financial results\, budgets\, fore casts\, and plans used to make big business decisions. Marketing and Pro duct profesionals using Excel to list customer and sales targets\; manag ing thier sales force and planning future marketing plans based on past results. Pivot tables to quickly and easily summarize customer and sales data by category with a quick drag-and drop. HR professionals using gia nt spreadsheets full of employee data and understand exactly where the c osts are coming from and how to best plan and control them for the futur e. Supply logistic professional to manage inventory and forecasts demand .In essence\, you can turn an entire department around just because you know how to manipulate data in order to get an aggregate view. \;\n&# 13\;\nSTRUCTURE OF COURSE \;\n Advanced functions and formulas \;\ n *Logical functions \;\n *Conditional functions \;\n *Financial functions \;\n *Text functions \;\n *Date funct ions \;\n *Array formulas \;\n \;\nLookups and data tables& #13\;\n *Using lookup functions \;\n *Using MATCH and INDEX&# 13\;\n *Creating data tables \;\n \;\nAdvanced data management \;\n *Validating cell entries \;\n *Advanced filtering 3\;\n \;\nAdvanced charting \;\n *Chart formatting options \;\n *Combination charts \;\n *Graphical objects \;\n \ ;\nPivotTables and PivotCharts \;\n *Working with PivotTables \;\n *Rearranging PivotTables \;\n *Formatting PivotTables 3\;\n *PivotCharts \;\n \;\nExporting and Importing Data \; \n *Exporting and importing text files \;\n *Getting external data \;\n \;\nAnalytical Tools \;\n *Goal Seek \;\n *Scenarios \;\n \;\nMacros and Visual Basic \;\n *Running and recording a macro \;\n *Working with VBA code \;\n \;\n ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR \;\nMartin Jetton has 30+ years of advanced supp ly chain analytics\, predictive analytics\, and statistical consulting e xperience. He's currently a Principal at the Liberty Advisor Group\, whe re he works in advanced supply chain analytics. In his previous role\, h e was the Senior Predictive Consultant at Corios\; where he developed pr edictive models and scorecards\, forecast trends\, identify uncertaintie s\, and assign the ideal strategies to maximize performance. The firm’s clients are in the banking\, brokerage\, credit\, utilities and healthca re industries. \;\n \;\nBENEFITS \;\nNot only are many business professionals using Excel to perform everyday functional tasks in the w orkplace\, an increasing number of employers rely on Excel for decision support.The ability to analyze data is a powerful skill that helps you m ake better decisions. Microsoft Excel is one of the top tools for data a nalysis and the built-in pivot tables are arguably the most popular anal ytic tool. \;\n \;\nMAKE YOUR RESUME STAND OUT \;\nThey are NOT seeing if you simply have Excel as a skill. They are diving deeping whe n it comes to determining which candidate to interview and hire. They lo ok for Pivot Table\, VLOOKUP\, Macros\, VBA\, Conditional Formatting\, C harting and Filtering…These are far more telling of your ability to an e mployer then writing Excel. Someone who writes VLOOKUP\, Pivot Table\, F iltering demonstrates an ability to analyse data and so has eliminated a potential barrier in the mind of the hiring manager reviewing your resu me. In essence\, use actual Excel functions in your Resume! \;\n \ ;\nINCREASE YOUR EARNING POTENTIAL \;\nDid you know that Excel know-h ow can instantly increase your job prospects as well as your starting sa lary? Excel is a transferrable skill that any hiring manager understands is critical. \;\nResearch shows job applicants who know MS Excel mak e $22.66 per hour on average compared to the $20.14 per hour their peers make who don’t know the program. That’s roughly an extra $20 per eight- hour workday and $100 per work week\, simply for knowing how to use a si ngle computer program. Moreover\, full-time employees in certain industr ies can see a starting salary bump of anywhere from $1\,000 to $7\,000 p er year based on their Excel skills. That’s not chump change you can ign ore. \;\n \;\nINSPIRING ENTREPRENEUR? \;\nA majority 63 percent of twenty-somethings want to start their own business. How will you sta y organized\, track data\, or forecast your finances if you’re not sprea dsheet-savvy? \;\nMany millennials simply want their first job. But\, what about your performance once someone hires you? The biggest complai nt employers have about millennials is that they lack basic hard and sof t skills.These skills include things like teamwork and problem solving\, but also basic administrative skills like MS Word and Powerpoint. Once you’re hired\, you want to meet the basic requirements of your role with out stressing. \;\n \;\nWHO SHOULD COME? \;\nPeople whose work is completed through MS Excel\; Software Engineers\, Finance Professiona ls\, HR Professionals\, Marketing Professionals\, Project Managers\, Tec hnology Professionals. \;\n \;\nADDITIONAL BENEFITS? \;\nFOR FU RTHER INFORMATION: PLEASE CONTACT US AT ibeafoundation@gmail.com. \;\ n \;\nSOLD OUT? \;\nThis is one of our high demand classes.

NASA is developing machine learning algorithms to help the scientists more quick ly analyze the data when it arrives from Mars. In this talk\, we will pr esent the current work using MOMA mass spectrometer data acquired during ground testing. Using this data we are aiding the scientists by matchin g new spectra with the most similar spectra from past experiments. We wi ll present the nuances of mass spectra\, our limitations with respect to data\, and our approach to the problem.

Cheriton Faculty Fellow at University of Waterloo. His research focuses on developing systems for managing\, querying\, or doing analyt ics on graph-structured data. His main on-going systems project is Kùzu\ , which is a new graph database management system that integrates novel storage\, indexing and query processing techniques. He holds a PhD from Stanford University and is a recipient of the VLDB 2018 Best Paper and t he VLDB 2022 Best Experiments and Analysis Paper awards. \;\n \;\n Abstract: \;\nIn this talk\, I will present the Kùzu graph database m anagement system (GDBMS) that we are developing at University of Waterlo o. Datasets and workloads of popular applications that use GDBMSs requir e a set of storage and query processing features that relational DBMSs ( RDBMSs) do not traditionally optimize for. These include optimizations f or: (i) many-to-many (m-n) joins\; (ii) cyclic joins\; (iii) recursive j oins\; (iv) semi-structured data storage\; and (v) support for universal resource identifiers. Kùzu aims to integrate state-of-art storage\, ind exing\, and \;\nquery processing techniques to highly optimize for th is feature set. I will start by presenting the overall vision of Kùzu an d then talk about the novel join operators in the system that performs j oins using compressed factorized representations of intermediate tables. Kùzu is actively being developed to be a fully functional open-source D BMS with the goal of wide user adoption and under a permissible license. \n\nTags: graphdatabase\, graphdb\, graphflow\, DAMAPDX\, DAMA\, databas e\, datamanagement\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250478 625 URL:https://datapdx.org/2022/11/11/december-2022-graphflowdb-a-dbms-for-l arge-scale-graph-data-management/ SUMMARY:Data PDX: Kùzu Graph Database Management System LOCATION:Online via Google Meet: false SEQUENCE:3 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20230109T213131Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20230119T170000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20230119T160000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20230109T213131Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20230109T213131Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250480147 DESCRIPTION:Bill Inmon known as the father of the data warehouse and has written 68 books\, selling over a million copies in total and translated into 9 languages. \;\n \;\nBill was named by Computerworld as one of the ten most influential people in history of computing.
