How To Install PostgreSQL on Fedora 35 - idroot
In this tutorial, we will show you how to install PostgreSQL on Fedora 35. For those of you who didn’t know, PostgreSQL is a powerful, open-source object-relational database system with over 30 years of active development that has earned it a strong reputation for reliability, feature robustness, and performance. Postgres is a free and open-source relational database management system emphasizing extensibility and SQL compliance.
This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you through the step-by-step installation of the PostgreSQL 14 on a Fedora 35.

DNS: What Is It, What Is It Used for and How It Works
As you may know, computers use IP addresses to connect with each other and communicate.
However, humans use and prefer names (such as bytexd.com) to access computers. This is because domain names in spoken language are easier to use and remember than a scary sequence of numbers (e.g., 192.168.1.165).
What would happen if we have to access the computers only using their IP addresses? In that case, you have to memorize tens or even hundreds of these numbers (can a human do that?).
This would not only be error-prone but also very hard or even impossible to use in this fast-growing digital world, where thousands of new domains are added to the Internet each day.
Luckily, we have computer scientist and internet pioneer, Paul Mockapetris for inventing a naming system called Domain Name System (DNS).
The main task of a Domain Name System (DNS) is to translate the domain names of computers into their IP addresses.

What is Kubectl Patch Command
Kubernetes offers various methods to update resources: edit, apply, patch, and replace. So, today our discussion topic is Kubectl patch or patch command. If you communicate with Kubernetes clusters via kubectl CLI, then you might be familiar with the edit or apply subcommands. Just like these two commands, we are less familiar with the patch command of kubectl. The patch command enables you to change part of a resource specification, specifying the changed part on CLI. While updating a resource, it’s good to patch it. There are three types of patching, i.e., Strategic, JSON merge patch, and JSON patch.
The strategic-merge type tries to “do the accurate thing” when merging the given spec with the current spec. More explicitly, it tries to merge both arrays and objects. For instance, specifying a patch that holds a single or new variable in a pod container specification results in that variable being included in the current variables, not overwriting them. Erasing an array element via a strategic merge patch is more difficult, which needs the usage of merge orders.Like the strategic approach, the JSON merge patch method takes a partial Kubernetes specification as input and holds the merging objects. This way is quite dissimilar from the above-cited approach as it only supports replacing arrays. While using this approach, you need to stream full specifications for all of the containers; if you need to modify any container propertyOn on the CLI, you can choose JSON merge patch via kubectl patch.
On the other hand, the JSON patch method uses a JSON illustration of the variations you wish to make to a resource. JSON Patch is a more robust and efficient way to state the modifications that you want to make.

What is MySQL RANGE Partitioning
Partitioning is a process in which large tables of the database are divided into separate tables but treated as a single table. We can make partitions in the database using MySQL and place the data according to these partitions. In the MySQL database, the only horizontal partition is supported and it is of six types. In this post, RANGE partitioning will be discussed in detail and explained with the help of examples so the readers can understand it.
-
What is MySQL List Partitioning
Partitioning of a MySQL database is a process in which data placed in the tables is further divided into small tables; which makes it easy to handle the large size of data. MySQL is a database that is very much popular among SQL databases to manage the data.
MySQL supports only horizontal partitioning. In MySQL, there are six types of partitioning, one of them is List partitioning, which is going to be explained in this article with the help of an example.

How do I check my Redis Memory Usage
Redis is an in-memory data store. This means that it stores the data in the system’s memory. The ability to store the data in the RAM is very crucial to improve performance as it does not require a complete round trip to the disk to fetch the data.
However, storing the data in memory comes with a significant drawback. When the data size grows exponentially, more RAM size is required to handle the data. Adding more RAM as the data grows can be expensive and prone to hardware compatibility and failures.
Although storage and size affect all database systems, it is more announced in in-memory databases such as Redis or Memcached. It is good to keep in mind that Redis is not developed as the central database for massive applications.

How to use the RDB (Redis Backup File)
Backups are essential features in sensitive data environments such as databases. They allow us to perform restorations in case of failures and errors.
One example of such an environment is a database such as Redis. Since its an in-memory database, a simple error such as power failure can lead to data loss. It is therefore essential to have persistence for your data.
This tutorial will learn how to work with the Redis Database Backup to save the data stored in the memory to the system’s disk and perform restorations from the RDB.

How to use Redis Sorted Set
Sorted sets are one of the most valuable and advanced data types in Redis. Sorted sets are very similar to sets because they both contain non-repeating string sequences. However, unlike standard sets, sorted sets include a score value associated with each member.
The score value allows them to be sorted in a specific order. Each member of a sorted set must be unique but can share a score value with multiple members.
In this tutorial, you will learn all about the sorted sets in Redis and how you can use them in your databases.
Ensure you have an existing Redis server installed and running to follow this tutorial.
