I was interested of the different SQL “accents”. According to Microsoft SQL Server learning books, we query like this:

SELECT
 *

FROM
 table1 INNER JOIN table2
  ON table1.PK = table2.FK
GO

The MySQL guys makes queries like this:

SELECT *
FROM table1, table2
WHERE table1.PK = table2.FK;

Using Microsoft SQL Server 2008, I wrote a script to create and populate two tables (the model data is found somewhere in internet).

IF EXISTS (
SELECT 1
 FROM sys.objects
 WHERE OBJECT_ID = OBJECT_ID(N'City')
 AND type = (N'U')
)
DROP TABLE City
GO

IF EXISTS (
 SELECT 1
 FROM sys.objects
 WHERE OBJECT_ID = OBJECT_ID(N'Country')
 AND type = (N'U')
)
DROP TABLE Country
GO

CREATE TABLE Country (
 CountryID INT IDENTITY(1, 1) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
 , CountryName VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL
)
GO

CREATE TABLE City (
 CityID INT IDENTITY(1, 1) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
 , CityName VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL
 , CountryID INT NOT NULL REFERENCES Country(CountryID)
)
GO

Then I wrote two queries to examine the data in both ways.

-- FROM
SELECT
	*

FROM
	City AS ci INNER JOIN Country AS co
		ON ci.CountryID = co.CountryID

WHERE
	co.CountryID IN (44, 23, 103, 50, 60)
GO

-- WHERE
SELECT *
FROM City ci, Country co
WHERE ci.CountryID = co.CountryID
  AND co.CountryID IN (44, 23, 103, 50, 60)
GO

I asked an IT guy today “You write your queries in Oracle by using which manner?” and he answered me that he joins the tables in the WHERE clause. The execution plan told me there’s no difference in the execution.

As a Microsoft fan, I prefer to link the tables using the FROM clause, because I may have no need of WHERE clause :-)

I use Windows XP and I’m not sure when I’m gonna start using Windows 7. That’ s why I have installed it on a Virtual PC for quick preview. Today I found a post and I Googled it as “Windows 7 God Mode” to check what’s going on :-)

It looks like very smart hidden tool for personalization.

Several days ago I discussed with a friend of mine about our first impression on Canada. The first thing we mentioned that’s Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport in Montreal. Actually the first thing was the interior of the airport. My friend said “It was quite empty. It looked like that airport of the movie… Mmmm… The movie based on Stephen King’s novel…”. I immediately remembered the movie and on next day I found its title – The Langoliers. Cool movie! :-)

Probably there weren’t a lot of flights at that time :-/

I answered that my first impression (the same airport) on Canada and especially Quebec is the convenience. The airport was very cosy. The next day I marked that the public buildings also are cosy. The streets, the private homes… Everywhere you go in Quebec, it’s very cosy :-)

Happy New Year, guys! :-)

Félicitations

To all the guys I love I wish health, calmness and lots of smiles! :-)

A few days ago I found a folder on my Hard Drive…

OK, I’ll start from the beginning. In 2003-2005 I recorded several melodies, using my PC. In the beginning, I played all on my bass. In 2005 I bought an used bulgarian guitar. The main idea was the guitar to insert new audio contrast in the melodies. Earlier I played guitar parts, using my bass, equalizing the frequency by cutting the low register. Good sound, but not a guitar sound :-)

This is an exported two-channel track of the one and only idea, using guitar :-)

Sounds little sad? :-/

There were a biscuits in Bulgaria, looong time ago, named Golden Autumn. I remembered it the day before yesterday, while I was walking along “old port” with a cool guy.

I landed in Montreal several days ago. My very first impressions are that tha city is very clean, everything is perfectly arranged and people are anxiety-free. :-)

I can’t believe that my relatives, friends and the girl I love so much are missing me so much just five days later… :-(

I am very, very grateful to my friend Ivaylo and his family.

Love you! Be healthy all of you!

Félicitations
