I'm having an argument with an incumbent self-taught programmer that
it is OK to use null foreign keys in database design.
My take is the whole point of a foreign key is that it's not supposed
to be optional, it's very definition is it's a necessary link to the
parent table and part of the definition. If it's optional it shouldn't
be part of the definition of a table and should be in a linking table
instead.
Comments?

Hi
I have a table that currently has 466 columns and about 700,000
records. Adding a new DEFAULT column to this table takes a long time.
It it a lot faster to recreate the table with the new columns and then
copy all of the data across.
As far as I am aware when you add a DEFAULT column the following
happens:

Hello
Now perhaps this is a bit dumb, but...
I just populated a new table via \copy. After that, I realize that perhaps is a good thing to have a row identifier in it, so I try
clapidus=> alter table tickets add column rid serial;
NOTICE: ALTER TABLE will create implicit sequence "tickets_rid_seq" for SERIAL column "tickets.rid"
ERROR: adding columns with defaults is not implemented

I am investigating the possibility of using pgsql as the database in an application. I have some unusual requirements that I'd like to ask you all about. I apologize in advance if my terminology is a little "off", I'm not familiar with pgsql (yet).
My first requirement is that I need to be able to add new columns to any database table on the fly. By this I mean that I need this to happen interactively -- a user will drag some UI widget...

Trying to figure out the technique which should be used
to add rows to a datagrid. I am thinking that I would
want an "Add" button on the footer, but I am not quite
sure how to do that. Is that the best method? Do you
have a sample of how to do this?

I have a datatable that was created within a dataset. I dynamically add columns to the table as I add data. Previously added rows probably did not have data for the column that is being added. Since I’m added rows and maybe columns at the same time, what is column content for rows that have been added earlier? Are the data rows for the newly add colum equal nulls or zero length?
Thanks

Hi
Can anybody help me with the following, hopefully simple, question?
I have a table which I've connected to a dataset. I wish to add a new column
to the beginning of the table
and to fill it with incremental values e.g. if the tables looks

Hi all,
I know this is easy, just can't seem to get it. I have a windows form, and
a text box, with a value already in it. I need to add that value to a table.
It's just one value, so the entire row doesn't get filled. I have a
connection and all that stuff.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp
Here is the code in...

Overview:
Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Dear forum friends,
With the development of smart home technology, a variety of wireless communication protocols have appeared on the market, such as Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc. Each protocol has its own unique characteristics and advantages, but as a user who is planning to build a smart home system, I am a bit confused by the choice of these technologies.

Hello
I'm a network technician in training and I need your help.
I am currently learning how to create and manage the different types of VPNs and I have a question about LAN-to-LAN VPNs.
The last exercise I practiced was to create a LAN-to-LAN VPN between two Pfsense firewalls, by using IPSEC protocols.
I succeeded, with both firewalls in the same network. But I'm wondering if it's possible to do the same thing, with 2 Pfsense firewalls...
