❤️ Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! ❤️

I love coding, so it's my Valentine, and I have been doing just that the entire day. Jokes aside, I took a relatively easy day today, spending time with my loved ones and having a bit of fun. Coding may be enjoyable, but I didn't want to grind all day on a special occasion.

Moving on, I reviewed various types of table relationships and the different types of JOINs, just so that I have a clearer understanding of them. Honestly, it's going to take me some time to intuitively understand when to use one over the others, but I suppose I should just practice more.

Anyway, let's move on to my daily report!

Yesterday

Grinded real hard learning about more complex data types, DATETIME utility functions, and logical operators in MySQL.

Today

MySQL

• practiced using SQL JOIN to generate meaningful data by combining multiple relational tables.
• reviewed the different types of JOINs:
  • INNER JOIN - INNER JOIN keyword selects all rows from both the tables as long as the condition is satisfied.
  • LEFT JOIN - returns all the rows of the table on the left side of the JOIN and matching rows for the table on the right side of JOIN.
  • RIGHT JOIN - returns all the rows of the table on the right side of the JOIN and matching rows for the table on the left side of JOIN.
  • FULL JOIN - creates the result-set by combining result of both LEFT JOIN and RIGHT JOIN. The result-set will contain all the rows from both the tables.
• continued Colt Steele's MySQL course.

Scrum

• finished reading An Introduction to the Nexus Framework.

Thank you for reading! Have a good day!
