And my favorite Dilberts of the week:
“A beginner’s guide to Non-Repeatable Read anomaly”
How was this article picked as one that was worth our time?
Hey William,
Sure, that’s a great question.
First, Vlad puts out great, in-depth writeups about JPA and more generally SQL. And, of course, I personally find these deep-dives into DB semantics very useful.
That being said, you certainly don’t have to read each and every article – just pick the ones that you care about.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Eugen.
Hi, William
Why do you think that article is not worth your time? Can you try to elaborate it?
