Background

Time permitting, this website will have a bunch of content added that will hopefully provide useful hints for getting things done quickly during your Data Engineering activities. I've worked in the IT business for over 30 years, as a Developer, Lead Systems Analyst, Database Designer, Database Administrator, and Data Architect.

In each of these roles I have sought to embrace time-saving practices that really do make a difference - for example, comparing data in different databases ... write a script to do it (Java/Python). It's not rocket science, it's just realizing that if you need to perform a task, and you envisage it being done repeatedly, then why not generate some reusable code. Pretty much all of us think this way, and quite a few of us independently create our own toolbox of utilities, so I thought it might be an idea to get some of the more repetitious stuff out there to help save time.
