Intermediate SQL

What is an INNER JOIN?

An INNER JOIN combines two tables with matches. Any values that do not have a match are not returned.

What is a LEFT OUTER JOIN?

A LEFT OUTER JOIN will return all rows from the left table, regardless if there is a matching row in the right table. For the values that do not have a matching row on the right table, null is returned. Any rows in the right table that do not have a match are not returned.

What is a RIGHT OUTER JOIN?

A RIGHT OUTER JOIN will return all rows from the right table, regardless if there is a matching row in the left table.

How to Run a Rails App in Production Locally
  1. Add gem 'rails_12factor' to your Gemfile. This will add error logging and the ability for your app to serve static assets.
  2. bundle
  3. Run RAILS_ENV=production rake db:create db:migrate db:seed
  4. Run rake secret and copy the output
  5. From the command line: export SECRET_KEY_BASE=output-of-rake-secret
  6. To precompile your assets, run rake assets:precompile. This will create a folder public/assets that contains all of your assets.
  7. Run RAILS_ENV=production rails s and you should see your app.

Remember to clobber your assets (rake assets:clobber) and re-precompile (rake assets:precompile) if you make changes. Add public/assets to your .gitignore

    • Conecating Example.
    • You would conecatenate files to limit the amount of times we make a trip to the server.

  • What does it mean to precompile files? What does this have to do with coffeescript and sass files?

    • Before we send a file to the browser, we have to precompile it to a language that the browser can handle (HTML, CSS & JS).
    • If we are using a language that makes it easier to program in a certain language like Coffeescript, Sass or ERB, we have to first precompile it before serving it up to the browser.

  • What does it mean to minify files? Find an image of an example minified file. Why would we want to minify files?
