Well... It's time for testing. We know that often, it's already over. So, what now? Can I improve the quality of my development?

The answer is: YES. Yes, you can. The Toolqa tool aims to do just that. It's a facilitator. What's its goal?

To ensure that APIs meet pre-established business requirements, while also protecting against <sarcasm>  future failed attempts </sarcasm>  to destroy your application, website, app, or anything else that uses your API.

Now you might be wondering, how does this happen? Where's the magic?

Just like a knockout punch, without giving the opponent a chance, Kubernetes, as an open source platform, has a universe of opportunities due to its availability (i.e., the ease of finding support, services and tools). It is a platform that can manage jobs and services in containers, which greatly simplifies the configuration and automation of these processes.

But let's justify the title image and give the tool in question the “correct” name: InterSystems Kubernetes Operator.

The principle is basic, you choose the services and define the rules for the game (here referring to Knockout again),

Unlike the movie mentioned in the image (for those who don't know, Matrix, 1999), the choice between Dynamic SQL and Embedded SQL is not a choice between truth and fantasy, but it is still a decision to be made.Below, I will try to make your choice easier. 

If your need is interactions between the client and the application (and consequently the database), Dynamic SQL may be more appropriate, as it "adapts" very easily to these query changes.However, this dynamism has a cost: with each new query, it is remodeled, which can have a higher cost to execute.Below is a simple example of a Python code snippet.

Hello everybody...

Have you ever wondered, noticed, or experienced the difficulty of finding new professionals with knowledge of Caché/IRIS? Where are people who ended up joining this area through contacts, who didn't exactly leave colleges with this knowledge or notion? Most of these professionals are of the old guard, with knowledge in older languages ​​that end up being "summoned" to learn the new trends to make up for this absence in the job market. Is it just an impression, or does it actually occur around the world?

My idea is to try to "heal" or at least help those who need these

Question Andre Larsen Barbosa · Oct 20, 2021

Why is it not common to handle inclusion, alteration and exclusion rules directly in the Caché database, using their controls on web pages, as is usually done in other databases such as Oracle, SQL Server?

Question Andre Larsen Barbosa · May 3, 2021

Hello. I have a query in the database that returns several rows, I need to get an "X" number of results randomly.I tried traditional commands from other languages but was unsuccessful.Does Caché have something like that?

I have already asked a question about migrating an Oracle database to Caché, and I was promptly answered.Now, I have one more question, however it is more conceptual.In general, any tool defends its benefits, and looking at Caché's, among many, there is a lot of talk about speed.The question is, if I already have a database, and at the moment, its performance is not a problem, I would like to know what else could influence the change of this database?Remembering that it is functional and without any apparent problem.
