Windows, sky, countryside

So how cool is to make a photo! Everything you can see at the countryside place. And in a field. Because of when you are not at the countryside. In a city. Or in winter, for example. You watch again and, virtually way, you find out yourself again at the countryside. Look and transfer yourself to countryside. In a field. Look at the summer sky. There are lots of green! Trees are so high! Grass is so high in a field!

Again, in the field! Again, it is, just like, it is countryside and summer! And, again, this association. With some variation sky from Windows 95 start up screen or wallpaper for Windows Xp. I spent lots of hours and days watching with sky. From Windows 95 or Windows Xp. Windows never changes, as I can to say. Again sky. But another one. Variations. And I, also, have a thoughts about theme of sky, field, countryside. And Windows.

It is so nice to see the field, to look at the sky. To remember about a nice funny little days in virtual reality. Where it is a virtual sky. Just the same as at your countryside place. To remember Windows 95 or Windows Xp. Both systems are amazing. To remember, maybe, Windows 98, and Windows 98 Special Edition. And Windows 2000. So, lots of Windows you can count. And, there is a place there for a blue screen. As a Windows theme. Graphics style it is same kind as the sky has! And green as grass and blue as sky!

And these are, already, my variations about this theme. Field and countryside. And, so, unexpectedly, Window 95, Windows Xp. Also, a field, also a sky. And, maybe, there, someplace there - it can be a countryside place. But, I am for sure, have a space for a countryside place.  And, it is a very central place! So, if I be clever one day – then, I do a program, not like windows. But, with some new interface. And in that app, I show, also, a sky and a grass. Countryside place. And summer. Trees.

How trees are high! How sky is blue! It is just a summer from some fairytale! Summer when it is – then it seems like never ends. And field - there are so lots of grass there! Just think about - every little grass plant is so small and so unique.  And there are hundreds, thousands, millions of little grass plants in a field! And do you know how much grass plants are in the field? Do you count them all? And, that in sum, they made a huge field! Wow! Lots of amazing discoveries and calculations ahead, as I can to say!

Tree! Green tree! It is so casual for a summer thing! And let`s say, during winter you watch a photo and make a call from a memory summer! It is so amazing spectacular event! And look there - there is a cloud over the tree! Wow!

And this is a field. Field - it is a main place. So, little road goes somewhere though the field. Long little road. It leads ahead somewhere. And, you can go for a long time by this little road. And field is long. I remember, that sometimes you think, that it is same all the time and it is endless. Half of an hour you can ride with bicycle. And it is a same field. And same grass. And nothing changes in visual. Little road is small. And some places it is narrow.  And some places - it is wide. Some places grass, already, growing at the road. And somewhere it is a good road.

Good such countryside memories with mix of computers. Good, when it is all around you a good summer!

The Great Data Cleanup: A Database Design Adventure

As a budding database engineer, I found myself in a situation that was both daunting and hilarious. Our company's application was running slower than a turtle in peanut butter, and no one could figure out why. That is, until I decided to take a closer look at the database design.

It all began when my boss, a stern woman with a penchant for dramatic entrances, stormed into my cubicle. "Listen up, rookie," she barked (despite the fact that I was quite experienced by this point). "The marketing team is in an uproar over the app's performance. Think you can sort this mess out?"

Challenge accepted! I cracked my knuckles, took a deep breath, and dove headfirst into the database, ready to untangle the digital spaghetti.

The schema was a sight to behold—if you were a fan of chaos, that is. Tables were crammed with redundant data, and the relationships between them made as much sense as a platypus in a tuxedo.

"Okay," I told myself, "time to unleash the power of database normalization."

First, I identified the main entities—clients, transactions, products, and so forth. Then, I dissected each entity into its basic components, ruthlessly eliminating any unnecessary duplication.

For example, the original "clients" table was a hot mess. It had fields for the client's name, address, phone number, and email, but it also inexplicably included fields for the account manager's name and contact information. Data redundancy alert!

So, I created a new "account_managers" table to store all that information, and linked the clients back to their account managers using a foreign key. Boom! Normalized.

Next, I tackled the transactions table. It was a jumble of product details, shipping info, and payment data. I split it into three distinct tables—one for the transaction header, one for the line items, and one for the shipping and payment details.

"This is starting to look promising," I thought, giving myself an imaginary high-five.

After several more rounds of table splitting and relationship building, the database was looking sleek, streamlined, and ready for action. I couldn't wait to see the results.

Sure enough, the next day, when the marketing team tested the app, it was like night and day. The pages loaded in a flash, and the users were practically singing my praises (okay, maybe not singing, but definitely less cranky).

My boss, who was not one for effusive praise, gave me a rare smile and said, "Good job, rookie. I knew you had it in you."

From that day forward, I became the go-to person for all things database-related. And you know what? I actually enjoyed the challenge. It's like solving a complex puzzle, but with a lot more coffee and SQL.

So, if you ever find yourself dealing with a sluggish app and a tangled database, don't panic. Grab a strong cup of coffee, roll up your sleeves, and dive into the normalization process. Trust me, your users (and your boss) will be eternally grateful.

Step-by-Step Guide to Database Normalization

Here's the step-by-step process I used to normalize the database and resolve the performance issues. I used an online database design tool to visualize this design. Here's what I did:

Original Clients Table:

ClientID int

ClientName varchar

ClientAddress varchar

ClientPhone varchar

ClientEmail varchar

AccountManagerName varchar

AccountManagerPhone varchar

Step 1: Separate the Account Managers information into a new table:

AccountManagers Table:

AccountManagerID int

AccountManagerName varchar

AccountManagerPhone varchar

Updated Clients Table:

ClientID int

ClientName varchar

ClientAddress varchar

ClientPhone varchar

ClientEmail varchar

AccountManagerID int

Step 2: Separate the Transactions information into a new table:

Transactions Table:

TransactionID int

ClientID int

TransactionDate date

ShippingAddress varchar

ShippingPhone varchar

PaymentMethod varchar

PaymentDetails varchar

Step 3: Separate the Transaction Line Items into a new table:

TransactionLineItems Table:

LineItemID int

TransactionID int

ProductID int

Quantity int

UnitPrice decimal

Step 4: Create a separate table for Products:

Products Table:

ProductID int

ProductName varchar

ProductDescription varchar

UnitPrice decimal

After these normalization steps, the database structure was much cleaner and more efficient. Here's how the relationships between the tables would look:

Clients --< Transactions >-- TransactionLineItems

Clients --< AccountManagers

Transactions --< Products

By separating the data into these normalized tables, we eliminated data redundancy, improved data integrity, and made the database more scalable. The application's performance should now be significantly faster, as the database can efficiently retrieve and process the data it needs.

Conclusion

After a whirlwind week of wrestling with spreadsheets and SQL queries, the database normalization project was complete. I leaned back, took a deep breath, and admired my work.

The previously chaotic mess of data had been transformed into a sleek, efficient database structure. Redundant information was a thing of the past, and the performance was snappy.

I couldn't wait to show my boss the results. As I walked into her office, she looked up with a hopeful glint in her eye.

"Well, rookie," she began, "any progress on that database issue?"

I grinned. "Absolutely. Let me show you."

I pulled up the new database schema on her screen, walking her through each step of the normalization process. Her eyes widened with every explanation.

"Incredible! I never realized database design could be so... detailed," she exclaimed.

When I finished, she leaned back, a satisfied smile spreading across her face.

"Fantastic job, rookie. I knew you were the right person for this." She paused, then added, "I think this calls for a celebratory lunch. My treat. What do you say?"

I didn't need to be asked twice. As we headed out, a wave of pride and accomplishment washed over me. It had been hard work, but the payoff was worth it. Not only had I solved a critical issue for the business, but I'd also cemented my reputation as the go-to database guru.

From that day on, whenever performance issues or data management challenges cropped up, my boss would come knocking. And you know what? I didn't mind one bit. It was the perfect opportunity to flex my normalization muscles and keep that database running smoothly.

So, if you ever find yourself in a similar situation—a sluggish app, a tangled database, and a boss breathing down your neck—remember: normalization is your ally. Embrace the challenge, dive into the data, and watch your application transform into a lean, mean, performance-boosting machine.

And don't forget to ask your boss out for lunch. You've earned it!

Pulang,

Ada bagian hati yang masih belum pulih, masih ada ruang kosong yang harus dibersihkan dari debu masa lalu, masih ada harapan yang masih bercecer dan harus segera dirapikan.

Sudah lama kiranya langkahku mengayun lagi, kendati kali ini aku mungkin sadar akan lalu yang terus menyayat.

Soal doa sederhana itu, aku masih ingat betul. Meski hati berbisik namun akal tak iyakan juga meski sedetik.

Aku juga terkejut, betapa mudah pemilik semesta restui semogaku. Tapi yang kali ini aku akan terus tersadar bahwa terkadang kesempatan datang bukan untuk memberiku peluang tapi untuk menguji sungguhku.

Untuk yang kesekian kali,,

Mohon maafmu tak terbatas untukku, Rahman
