LIST Partitioning

List partitioning is similar to range partitioning in many ways. As in partitioning by RANGE, each partition must be explicitly defined. The chief difference between the two types of partitioning is that, in list partitioning, each partition is defined and selected based on the membership of a colum...

HASH Partitioning

Partitioning by HASH is used primarily to ensure an even distribution of data among a predetermined number of partitions. With range or list partitioning, you must specify explicitly into which partition a given column value or set of column values is to be stored; with hash partitioning, MySQL take...

Background images

Full width table cell background images <html xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml"> <head> <style> v:* { behavior: url(#default#VML); display: inline-block; } </style> </head> <body> <center> <...

Creating spacers

Some email clients (notably Windows Desktop Outlook) collapse tables with no content, even if there are dimensions or padding. To prevent these clients from collapsing the spacer table, you can add an invisible   that serves as content. Then zero out the character's font-size and line-heig...

Element Spacing
Outlook can sometimes add a bit of spacing on the left and right side of a element that can cause some layout-related headaches. By using the vendor-specific mso-table-lspace and mso-table-rspace CSS properties, you can be rid of those spaces and continue on to tackle the million other problems cau...

Image Resizing

Using width or height tags to resize images in your markup can create a problem in Internet Explorer browsers. If your reader is viewing an email in-browser, and that email happens to have fluid images in it, they’ll look pretty ugly as they resize. Using -ms-interpolation-mode:bicubic; ensures that...

Functional testing as user stories

Functional tests are best described as tests for your user stories. If you've dealt with user stories before they normally follow the following pattern: As a [role], I want to [desire], so that [benefit/desired outcome] For the following examples we'll use this user story as an example: As a Du...

Beginning with Behat

Behat provides Gherkin Syntax which is a human-readable format. It allows you to easily describe your user stories. To start with Behat you should install it with Composer and then initialize your test files: $ composer require --dev behat/behat="^3.0.5" $ ./vendor/bin/behat --init ...

Extending Behat with Mink

Mink provides an interface for web drivers (like Goutte and Selenium) as well as a MinkContext which, when extended, provides additional web language for our steps. To install Mink (and the default Goutte driver): $ composer require --dev behat/mink-extension="^2.0" $ composer require -...

Testing JavaScript with Mink and Selenium

If we want to test JavaScript on a website, we'll need to use something a bit more powerful than Goutte (which is just cURL via Guzzle). There are a couple of options such as ZombieJS, Selenium and Sahi. For this example I'll use Selenium. First you'll need to install the drivers for Mink: $ compo...

Pass data through the middleware chain

From documentation: The HttpContext.Items collection is the best location to store data that is only needed while processing a given request. Its contents are discarded after each request. It is best used as a means of communicating between components or middleware that operate at different poi...

Understanding Django 1.10 middleware's new style

Django 1.10 introduced a new middleware style where process_request and process_response are merged together. In this new style, a middleware is a callable that returns another callable. Well, actually the former is a middleware factory and the latter is the actual middleware. The middleware facto...

Global RegExp match

A global RegExp match can be performed using preg_match_all. preg_match_all returns all matching results in the subject string (in contrast to preg_match, which only returns the first one). The preg_match_all function returns the number of matches. Third parameter $matches will contain matches in f...

Evaluating Regular Expressions with a Predicate Function

The predicate function matches can be used to evaluate strings on the fly without use of any object declarations. IF matches( val = 'Not a hex string' regex = '[0-9a-f]*' ). cl_demo_output=>display( 'This will not display' ). ELSEIF matches( val = '6c6f7665' reg...

Pitfall - Catching InterruptedException

As already pointed out in other pitfalls, catching all exceptions by using try { // Some code } catch (Exception) { // Some error handling } Comes with a lot of different problems. But one perticular problem is that it can lead to deadlocks as it breaks the interrupt system when writ...

Pitfall - Leaving out braces: the "dangling if" and "dangling else" problems

The latest version of the Oracle Java style guide mandates that the "then" and "else" statements in an if statement should always be enclosed in "braces" or "curly brackets". Similar rules apply to the bodies of various loop statements. if (a) { //...

Rotating TRectangle

Create blank Multi-Device (Firemonkey) application. Drop Rectangle on Form. In Object inspector window (F11) find RotationAngle click on drop down button, and select "Create New TFloatAnimation". Object inspector window is automatically switched to a newly added TFloatAnimation, you...

Scaling image to fit or fill.

Scaling to fit Means that the whole image will be visible but there may be some empty space on the sides or top and bottom if the image is not the same aspect as the canvas. The example shows the image scaled to fit. The blue on the sides is due to the fact that the image is not the same aspect as ...

Converting a symbol into a string

Unlike most other JavaScript objects, symbols are not automatically converted into a string when performing concatenation. let apple = Symbol('Apple') + ''; // throws TypeError! Instead, they have to be explicitly converted into a string when necessary, (for example, to get a textual description...
