anniethebruceThe courses I'm taking right now for school are Software Test Automation and Quality Assurance, and Database
Analysis and Design. Learning all sorts of fun stuff... and then a note that MySQL which the course focuses on doesn't support certain features lol. Though a lot of the course material at SNHU is a little out of date, some of it may well be in current versions of MySQL. Even where it's not, understanding the concepts for, say, a foreign key update cascade can let me handle that in my application code. It would be ugly putting stuff that should be in the database schema into my application, but I can see at least in broad strokes how to do it. And if I isolate my database access code properly, the core application logic won't care if the database supports it natively or not. It will simply read and write data and do its job.
