isPermaLink="false">http://www.learncomputer.com/?p=801</guid> <description><![CDATA[PHP and MySQL are often the preferred technologies for building web applications because they allow you to build robust web applications very rapidly.  This rapid development, however, sometimes leads to code that is hard to maintain, doesn't scale well or performs poorly.  Fortunately, there are a few things that you can do early in your application development cycle that will keep your application from developing problems.  Follow these PHP/MySQL best practices to build rock-solid applications. Also, keep in mind in general that a bit of extra time invested upfront in keeping your code easily maintainable will save you a LOT of time down the road, when your application becomes sufficiently complex!<h3>Related Photos</h3><ol></ol>]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.learncomputer.com/php-mysql-best-practices/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>PostgreSQL 9.0 Offers Many New Features</title><link>http://www.learncomputer.com/postgresql-9-new-features/</link> <comments>http://www.learncomputer.com/postgresql-9-new-features/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 10 Dec 2010 23:24:01 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Michael Dorf</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[postgresql]]></category> <category><![CDATA[database]]></category><guid

It is my database of choice these days and I use it with both CakePHP and with the Django framework for Python.  Postgres has always had a very robust feature set and was one of the first truly ACID compliant open source databases.  With the recent release of version 9, PostgreSQL has added a slew of requested features that truly put it above the rest.<h3>Related Photos</h3><ol></ol>]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.learncomputer.com/postgresql-9-new-features/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Data Mining with MySQL &#8211; Finding Value in Numbers</title><link>http://www.learncomputer.com/data-mining-mysql/</link> <comments>http://www.learncomputer.com/data-mining-mysql/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sun, 25 Jul 2010 02:47:04 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Michael Dorf</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[data mining]]></category> <category><![CDATA[mysql]]></category><guid

Analyzing data with open source technology however requires a bit more work when it comes to implementing an end to end Business Intelligence (BI) tool. While there are a variety of ways to export MySQL data into software packages that can handle modeling, it is important to understand how the process works and the technology required.<h3>Related Photos</h3><ol></ol>]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.learncomputer.com/data-mining-mysql/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Optimizing MySQL Queries</title><link>http://www.learncomputer.com/optimizing-mysql-queries/</link> <comments>http://www.learncomputer.com/optimizing-mysql-queries/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sat, 29 May 2010 05:39:59 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Michael Dorf</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[databases]]></category> <category><![CDATA[mysql]]></category> <category><![CDATA[sql]]></category><guid
isPermaLink="false">http://www.learncomputer.com/?p=2542</guid> <description><![CDATA[MySQL is a very capable database server.  It powers numerous web sites and applications and is so widely used that it was etched as the "M" in LAMP platform.  One of the reasons MySQL has become so popular is that it can be extremely fast, particularly in cases where data is primarily being read such as web sites.  Even with all its strengths, it is possible for a developer to right a bad query that slows down the database or for the volume of data to reach a point where a normally speedy query becomes quite slow.  Optimizing your MySQL queries will help you gain the most performance from your database.<h3>Related Photos</h3><ol></ol>]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.learncomputer.com/optimizing-mysql-queries/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>PHP Interview Questions and Tips</title><link>http://www.learncomputer.com/php-interview-questions-tips/</link> <comments>http://www.learncomputer.com/php-interview-questions-tips/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sun, 25 Apr 2010 05:16:12 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Michael Dorf</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[mysql]]></category> <category><![CDATA[php]]></category> <category><![CDATA[php and mysql]]></category><guid

While part of the interview will be the typical job interview, you should also be prepared for a technical interview.  Technical interviews are often given to determine how well you truly know the technologies with which you'll be working.  There are numerous books and articles to help you prepare for the job interview portion but very little has been said on preparing for a PHP technical interview.<h3>Related Photos</h3><ol></ol>]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.learncomputer.com/php-interview-questions-tips/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>3</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>MySQL Caching Techniques</title><link>http://www.learncomputer.com/mysql-caching-techniques/</link> <comments>http://www.learncomputer.com/mysql-caching-techniques/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 06 Apr 2010 06:07:58 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Michael Dorf</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[mysql]]></category> <category><![CDATA[caching]]></category><guid
isPermaLink="false">http://www.learncomputer.com/?p=1521</guid> <description><![CDATA[MySQL is an incredibly powerful and robust database which is why it powers so many web sites and web applications today.  However, even the best database often needs additional help to keep up with the high volume demands of popular sites or web applications.  MySQL is no exception.  One way that many developers squeeze additional performance from MySQL is through caching in order to reduce the number of queries hitting the database.  There are a number of techniques for caching MySQL queries.<h3>Related Photos</h3><ol></ol>]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.learncomputer.com/mysql-caching-techniques/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Secure Your Database</title><link>http://www.learncomputer.com/secure-your-database/</link> <comments>http://www.learncomputer.com/secure-your-database/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 12 Mar 2010 08:16:17 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Michael Dorf</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[databases]]></category> <category><![CDATA[database vulnerabilities]]></category> <category><![CDATA[protect database]]></category> <category><![CDATA[secure database]]></category><guid

That's a frequently asked question today that has no right or wrong answer! The solution is based on a number of different variables, such as, what is your database vendor, what is the purpose of your database, does your database store credit card information, who manages your database, and others.<h3>Related Photos</h3><ol></ol>]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.learncomputer.com/secure-your-database/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Understanding Database Vulnerabilities</title><link>http://www.learncomputer.com/understanding-database-vulnerabilities/</link> <comments>http://www.learncomputer.com/understanding-database-vulnerabilities/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 11 Mar 2010 08:19:53 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Michael Dorf</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[databases]]></category> <category><![CDATA[database security]]></category> <category><![CDATA[sql]]></category> <category><![CDATA[vulnerabilities]]></category><guid

One of the more recent trends in enterprise security has been the movement away from protecting the perimeter of the network to protecting data at its source.  Today's corporate environment must provide access to data not only to its employees, but also to partners and customers located on separate networks, potentially thousands of miles away. In order to protect the database system, one must first understand its vulnerabilities.<h3>Related Photos</h3><ol></ol>]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.learncomputer.com/understanding-database-vulnerabilities/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
