SQL Basics

Notes from CodeSchool's "Sequel to SQL"

Aggregate Functions

Some commonly used aggregate functions are: min, max, avg, sum, and count.

Examples:

MatthewRDodds

heroku pg:reset DATABASE_URL --remote heroku-dev

heroku run rake db:migrate --remote heroku-dev
heroku run bash --remote heroku-dev

bundle install --with development
rake db:seed_fu RAILS_ENV=development

This is an interesting post about api messages and status codes, with examples from top apis: http://apigee.com/about/blog/technology/restful-api-design-what-about-errors

The TL;DR is that only about 8 status codes should be used as a maximum, and they should be used accurately to describe the error obviously.

These 8 statuses are:

200 - OK
404 - Not Found
500 - Internal Server Error
201 - Created

Without this config update bundler will raise errors, it's a weird default they use (see this issue):

bundle config disable_local_branch_check true

The add the config for the gem to make bundler look to the path you specify rather than where it has downloaded the gem too, as source:

bundle config local.YOUR_GEM_NAME YOUR_GEMS_PATH

Elasticsearch Querying DSL Overview

TERMS

• filter A filter is query that either matches a document or doesn't, it's boolean.
• query A query uses scoring to order results by the degree to which they match the request. Queries are much less performant than filters.

Some queries can contain other queries (bool), some can contain filters (constant_score), and others can contain both (filtered).
