Hi Dmitriy, thank you. I may write another post about commit and tree objects.

Re: PostgreSQL Rising

Michiel van Oosterhout — Fri, 20 Jul 2012 06:57:00 -0000

Hey Rob,

Just watched the NDC presentation, good introduction, thanks!

Back in school some years ago, Postgres was seen as very powerful but not that easy to get up and running with. Courses would default to MySQL, but we played with Postgres anyway. Because most of us were using Windows, the lack of GUI tools made it seem more difficult. But the image we had of it was definitely that Postgres was 'for serious stuff', like if we ever got out into the real world, we would probably apply our skills to Postgres rather than MySQL. Of course, in reality, I got into .NET so I have only used SQL Server for real.

The (nolock) part is interesting, I haven't a whole lot of experience with EF, so I wonder: can you opt out of its default (nolock) behavior? I think in SQL Server you can get what you need by using isolation levels? But then again, I am not sure how you'd do that when using an ORM like EF.

Postgres inheritance is really cool, because it works in inserts and updates as well. Types and arrays, I see the value, but I can't help but think of a document database when looking at that part of the presentation. Like RavenDB? I guess it smells like 'nosql', especially when you add plv8 to use JavaScript... so maybe Postgres it on its way to become the best of both worlds?

Another thing I noticed in the presentation: Sequel Pro seems like it has a better GUI than Navicat, wouldn't you agree?

A case of l'art pour l'art, except these patterns aren't art and thus shouldn't exist just because they can.

Re: NuGet Was The Star of MIX 11

Michiel van Oosterhout — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 03:42:24 -0000

I didn't 'get' NuGet until I saw Phil Haack demo it at McvConf, at which point I was impressed how it all fits together into a very coherent and well thought out approach to not only manage dependencies but also to distribute and share code.

Regarding your statement about pulling and packaging from source I have a thought about that related to .NET. I think that in .NET we are more inclined to push a specific version than to pull directly from the source. There's an idea that the specific version comes with more stability and fixed bugs. It's like when I commented here on a previous post about deployment where I was thinking about deploying only tagged and built versions, whereas you were thinking about deploying source directly from a branch or the trunk.

Re: Getting Constructive On ASP.NET Deployment

Michiel van Oosterhout — Sat, 09 Apr 2011 06:28:22 -0000

I don't think that pulling the source on the server is the right idea. If a developer is tasked with getting v1.3 up and running, shouldn't the developer take care to create a tag in the repository, check that out and deploy from there? With the benefit that the repository already supports hooks, so it could kick off deployment for every tag that is created (but then we are back to push instead of pull).

I also wonder what you mean by unneeded code files, can you give an example?

Re: Using EntityFramework with ASP.NET MVC 3

Michiel van Oosterhout — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 18:10:35 -0000

Hey, as long as you are writing the advanced examples MSDN can keep doing the easy examples.

Can you provide a link to the guidance you refer to, I'd like to read up on points 3 and 4 and I'm too lazy to search for it.

Thanks!

Sure, have a look at my previous post. Have a look at the NASM documentation for more information.

Re: Configuring Migrator.NET as an External Tool in Visual Studio using MSBuild

Michiel van Oosterhout — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 09:51:55 -0000

To be honest, I don't know how to unit test migrations. I'm guessing you could check the database to see if the schema is correct after running a migration. If you use a SQLite in-memory database the tests could run pretty fast. As far as injecting dependencies, perhaps you could run the migrations using a custom provider that you can check for consistency?

Interesting issue for sure but I wonder if there is real value in unit testing migrations though. When your code depends on the database schema, don't your integration tests cover that? I run migrations before (up) and after (down) my integration tests. If the integration tests succeed, there's no need to test the migrations.

Hi Harald,

the value you have entered in the Provider attribute is not valid, and the ProviderFactory can't instantiate a provider. Try Provider="SqlServerCe".

Hope that helps!

Re: Migrator.NET and MSBuild configuration tips

Michiel van Oosterhout — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 14:38:04 -0000

Hi Dan,

thanks for stopping by. I run the migrations on my workstation which has SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition installed. I have not had this error. I did find the assembly you mentioned on my computer in the folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\SDK\Assemblies and it's also present in the GAC.

Hope that helps, good luck!
