Studies

My CS course

I had a course called “Databases” (translation) this semester. As universities aren’t (at least for me in my studies right now) the best place for trendy new technologies, we of course concentrated on relational databases. Good thing at least we aren’t bought out by Oracle and still got to enjoy using PostgreSQL. The best part about the course in my opinion was the assignment to design a small database from scratch. I cannot say that I am too proud of how it turned out in the end, but I had other courses to worry about too and didn’t want to go down a rabbit hole by myself (it was a group project). Even the fact that I feel critically about it is comforting, because now I know that if I need to aid in designing a database down the line, I am able to catch some mistakes or just bad design choises that I would’ve otherwise made.
