SQLite 3.37 release 

Recently, SQLite, an open-source SQL database, announced the release of SQLite 3.37. This release brings many new features and updates to the database, including STRICT tables that provide a prescriptive style of data type management. 

With the release of SQLite 3.37, when users add columns that contain a CHECK constraint or a generated column containing a NOT NULL constraint, the ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN will check new constraints against preexisting rows in the database and will only continue if no constraints are violated. 

In addition, SQLite 3.37 brings Command Line Shell (CLI) enhancements such as 

  • Add the .connection command, allowing the CLI to keep multiple database connections open at once
  • Add the –safe command-line option that disables dot-commands and SQL statements that might cause side-effects that extend past the single database file names on the command-line
  • Performance improvements when reading SQL statements that span multiple lines 

For more information on the release updates, visit here.

Have you ever wondered about the distinctions between web developers’ and web designers’ duties and obligations? You’re not alone! Many people have trouble distinguishing between these two. Although they collaborate to publish new websites on the internet, web developers and web designers play very different roles.

To create a vision for the house, including the visual components, the space planning and layout, the materials, and the overall appearance and sense of the space, you need an architect. That said, to translate an idea into a building, you need construction professionals to take those architectural drawings and put them into practice. Image Source In a similar vein, web development and design work together to create websites. Let’s examine the major responsibilities and distinctions between web developers and web designers. Let’s get going, shall we? What Does a Web Designer Do?

2022: The year of hybrid work

Remote work was once considered a luxury to many, but in 2020, it became a necessity for a large portion of the workforce, as the scary and unknown COVID-19 virus sickened and even took the lives of so many people around the world.  Some workers were able to thrive in a remote setting, while others felt isolated and struggled to keep up a balance between their work and home lives. Last year saw the availability of life-saving vaccines, so companies were able to start having the conversation about what to do next. Should they keep everyone remote? Should they go back to working in the office full time? Or should they do something in between? Enter hybrid work, which offers a mix of the two.
