If anyone had told me in 1984, when I stumbled over a software called dBASE II, that knowledge about query languages (started learning SQL three o four years later) would still prove to be a valuable skill over 40 years later, I would have laughed at this person.

PostgreSQL people, I hope you're planning to tune into @posetteconf (free & virtual) on 16-18 June & this new "ultimate guide" blog post should help you figure out which of the 44 #Postgres talks & 4 livestreams are for you
Lots of work happening behind the scenes by the speakers & the organizers to bring all this learning to you in this year's #PosetteConf (hard to believe this is the 5th year!)

SQLite never ceases to impress me. It is frequently looked down upon by developers because of supposedly not being a "real database" like PostgreSQL, MySQL etc.
But did you know that SQLite core has 100% percent test coverage? Or that there is 590 (!!!) times as much test code as there is product code in the SQLite project?
While I really like PostgreSQL, SQLite brings joy to all projects where I can use it -- small footprint, reliable and full-featured.

Twin brothers wipe 96 gov't #databases minutes after being #fired
In the US, fired and laid-off workers often have their digital #credentials deactivated before they learn about the loss of their jobs; indeed, the inability to log in to a corporate system may be the first an employee knows of the situation.
