Blob and Clob together are known as LOB(Large Object Type).  I have been pretty much fascinated by these two data types. According to Oracle Docs, they are presented as follows : BLOB : Variable-length binary large object string that can be up to 2GB (2,147,483,647) long. Primarily intended to hold non-traditional data, such as voice or mixed media. BLOB strings ...

First of all, a disclaimer: if you’re writing a microservice (which everyone does now right?) and want it to be idiomatic, you don’t normally use several different data sources in it. Image taken from Pixabay © https://pixabay.com/illustrations/software-binary-system-1-0-binary-557616/ Why? Well, by definition, microservices should be loosely coupled, so that they can be independent. Having several microservices writing into the same database really ...

Factory Method pattern is one of the popular creational design patterns. It doesn’t specifically rely on a factory object to create the objects. Rather, the idea is to use a separate method in the same class to create an object. Factory Method pattern defines an interface for creating objects but lets the subclasses decide how to instantiate its objects. Each ...

Facade means the face of a building. While passing across a street, all we look at is the face of a building. The face abstracts all the complex implementation details of a building. Similarly, a facade design pattern aims to provide a unified interface to a set of interfaces in the subsystem. This unified interface hides the subsystem complexity from ...

A composite design pattern is useful when we have to work with a tree-like hierarchical structure of objects. It lets us treat the individual objects and the composition of objects uniformly. It falls under the category of a structural design pattern as it composes objects into a tree structure to represent part-whole hierarchies. UML Representation: The UML representation of a ...

Selenium waits for page load play an important part in your Selenium scripts. They help to make them less flaky and more reliable. Selenium provides multiple waits to provide adequate wait or pause in your script execution based on certain conditions. Thereby ensuring you don’t end up getting failed scripts as you perform automation testing with Selenium. In this tutorial, ...

Every semester, I pass around a survey to get some feedback on my teaching. This past semester someone finally gave me an idea for a new article. In particular, they wanted to learn some more about recursion, so I figured I’d put together some tips. Recursion Overview For those of you that might be learning recursion for the first time, ...

When discussing the development impact on existing applications while transitioning to microservices, there are five questions that keep popping up in one form or another. They are the same regardless of the size of the organization and seem to become part of strategy discussions later in the process as organizations move towards microservice architectures. These articles cover questions that everyone ...

Have you even committed to Git using wrong email address working on/for different projects/companies? Luckily with a little configuration Git can auto-switch the identities for you. (Too long) introduction and reasoning Being an (experienced) IT professional can give you an opportunity to work on different things in the same time frame. For instance, in addition to work for the main ...
