PHP, Python, Ruby application with multiple RDBMS -

-

When I see all these SQL-based database abstraction layers and all those ORMs from there, I am beginning to feel, though I am far away from old age, I consider it necessary for them, but their use spreads to those places which are not usually those.

I believe that the use of database architecture layers for SQL generation is not the right way to write database applications, run on many database engines, especially when you throw in expensive databases like Oracle and more Or is less global, it does not apply to only a few languages.

Just a simple example by using query paging and insertion: FIRST_ROWS and append indication (where appropriate) when Oracle is used. By visiting advanced examples, I can tell about stored procedures / packages in the database where this is understandable. And they are different for each RDBMS.

By using a limited set of commonly available features for many RDBMS, it does not take advantage of the possibilities to provide those expensive and advanced database engines.

So the question is coming back to the heart: How can you develop PHP, Python, Ruby applications, which should run on multiple database engines?

I am particularly interested in how you use separate written questions specifically for running on an RDBMS. Say you got a statement running on 3 RDBMS: Oracle, DB2 and SQL Server, and for each of these you write a different SQL statement to use all features that offer RDBMS. how you do it?

Give it aside, what are you thinking of going on this path? Is it worth your experience? Why? why not?

You can not eat a cake and you can get it, choose from the following options.

  • Whenever you can and in rare cases when you need a hand-created query (for example, the reasons for performance), paste the least common separator and do not store it In this case deployment of applications on a separate RDBMS should be trivial in the case of processes or any proprietary extensions you provide for the database.
  • Use the full power of your expensive RDBMS, but note that your app will not be easily portable, if you need to, you will have to make a lot of effort on porting and maintenance. Definitely a decent layered design will help in this effort by explaining all the differences in a module or class.

In other words, you should consider how many applications will be applied to potentially RDBMSes and make an informed choice.

MySql variables and php -

I am getting an error with php in order to format mysql_query () in php to format this string What is the right way? SELECT SELECT SELECT (*) Agents @AgentCount; User_Agent_English, User_Angent_Oursal, US.___Gent_Aginal, COUNT (User_Agent_Percade) ACC, COUNT (*) / (AgentCount) Percentage by agents user_agent_preser order DEC limit limit 50; In PHP, how am i setting $ query $ query = "SELECT count (*) agents @ agentcount; SELECT user_agent_parsed, User_agent_original , COUNT (user_agent_parsed) ascount, COUNT (*) / (@AgentCount) as a percentage by user_agent_parced by URI date DESC limit 50 "; This exact query will work properly if I put it in MySQL directly through a command line session. Do I need to release two separate php calls from mysql_query () and store the results first? I get the following error: There is an error in your SQL syntax; Instead of using a sub-selection and instead of using the 'SELECT user_agent_parsed, user_agent_original, ne...

url rewriting - How to implement the returnurl like SO in PHP? -

-
This URL should work even after the rewrite. Is this possible? Otherwise, I can only hardcoded everything If you are trying to create a login system with redirection You need to use the HTTP_REFERER header to find out where the user came from so that you can send it back there. The best way to do this is to use something like this in your login form: // - Login php & Lt; Input type = "password" name = "password" /> & Lt; Input type = "hidden" name = "returnrelale" value = "& lt ;? php echo $ redirectURL ;? & gt;" / & Gt; & Lt; / Form & gt; Please note that some ISP, browser or proxy will delete the referrer header, so you can not rely on each user to work fully. If you use a statement, to check whether the header exists or not, you can send those users back to the homepage or whatever. Edit If you are looking to use $ _SERVER ['REQUEST_URI'], if you are running Apache It sho...

Which Python client library should I use for CouchdB? -

-
I am starting to experiment with CouchDB because it looks like we have the right solution to certain problems That all the work will be on a new project, which does not have any legacy dependency, which the client library will suggest you use, and why? If we overlap any of the OS. Freeband is available only in the collection of its ports, but asks to use the library's project website. None of those people are Ubuntu, which is only with ships, since those two OSAs are not common in libraries, I am probably installing something from source (and hopefully if I have time, then Ubuntu and FreeBSD People pack the package). For those interests, I want to use CouchDB as a convenient intermediate storage space for data passed between different services - think of a message bus system, but less formalities with. For example, we have daemons that download and pars the web page, then send an interesting bit to other daemons for further processing. Many of them are ill-defined until the...
