The article described how to use the MySQL Connector to establish a connection with a database and then retrieve data through that connection. In this article, I continue the discussion by demonstrating how to … Read more
The concept behind frameworks and libraries is to provide reusable code that you can use to perform everyday tasks so that developers don’t have to write all of the code from scratch for every project. Frameworks and libraries are designed to be modular and reusable, meaning they can be used in multiple projects without needing … Read more
The tools classified as “Realtime Backend / API“, or tools that can rapidly process an API call and in this case, store data, include Firebase and Supabase. Firebase is a NoSQL database, while Supabase is a relational database. The Firestore database, which lets you store “documents,” is the core of Firebase. These are collections of … Read more
In this article, I will introduce two JavaScript frameworks that can be used to build backend projects. Backend development is the development of server-side logic that powers websites and apps from behind the scenes. It typically includes all the code needed to build out the database, server, and application. From database migrations to API integrations to set up the server-side technologies that make a website tick.… Read more
Object Relational Mapping is a database abstraction technique that aids developers in manipulating and interacting with SQL databases using the data types provided in the programming language. ORMs (Object Relational Mappers) are tools (libraries, modules, packages) that provide the functionality for interacting with SQL databases. Popular ORMs are the Prisma ORM for JavaScript, TypeScript, Hibernate … Read more
It’s easy to create a unique dataset using DISTINCT in SQL, however, it may be beneficial to do this in managed code instead. In this article, Camilo Reyes demonstrates several ways to create unique datasets with managed code.… Read more
