Context
Relational Databases and SQL is Lindy. It’s been around for a long time and will continue to be relevant and critical to software engineering for a long time. Will ChatGPT disrupt and make SQL obsolete? We’re skeptical. Cynical, even.
Schema design goes hand-in-hand with SQL - a schema directly reflects the domain. Clarity in your database schema drives clarity in architecture, in code, and eventually in teams. Eventually, when the time comes for the schema to change, good schemas often make migrations a breeze.
This AMA brings three experts who will answer your questions about SQL and schema design, covering topics such as:
Joins? ✔️
Aggregates? ✔️
Window functions? ✔️
Complex report-like queries? ✔️
Hierarchical data modeling 👀 ✔️
Recursive queries 👀 ✔️
Doing database migrations at scale? ✔️
Do you have more questions? Ask away!
Who should attend?
This AMA can and should be attended by:
- Engineers with some familiarity with SQL but lots of uncertainty about databases and schema design.
- Engineers who have questions about the not-so-well-known SQL syntax and who want to improve their schema design game.
- Engineers looking for a refresher or just something new to learn (or crib!) about their favorite formal language.
