After installing the CloudBeaver as a Docker instance, I was trying to connect to the Postgres instance which I was running on my local machine.
In the HOST field, I tried with localhost which obviously wouldn’t work since that refers to the VM itself.
After some searching I found that to connect to the host, I need to set the connection as
host.docker.internal
The requirement was to add a column called position to the order_details table.
The order_details table is actually a table with a foreign key of order_id. The requirement is to increment the position starting from 1 in the position column grouped on order_id.
So, before the migration if the records are –
id order_id 1 1 2 1 3 1 4 2 5 2 6 2
After the migration, the records should be –
id order_id position 1 1 1 2 1 2 3 1 3 4 2 1 5 2 2 6 2 3
There are two solutions possible. One using window functions and one without.
I’ve long been a user of DBeaver which works so well across different OSes, so recently I wanted to set up the cloud version called cloudbeaver.
In the course of doing that, I had to generate SSH keys to be able to access remote databases via SSH.
The standard way of generating SSH keys is to run this command.
> ssh-keygen -t rsa
This by default creates id_rsa and id_rsa.pub under <home directory>/.ssh folder (both in Windows and Linux)
Sometimes it is required to increase the statement_timeout for Postgres.
The correct way to do this would be to create a .psqlrc in the home directory and add the setting inside there.
$> cat .psqrc set statement_timeout to 10000;
This is given in milliseconds so the above is for 10 seconds.
This can be verified from within psql command
psql> show statement_timeout; statement_timeout ------------------- 10s (1 row)

One of the things I forgot when I wrote the PM2 post is that PM2 creates logs. And these logs get very big, very fast!!
The pm2-logrotate takes care of this.
To install pm2-logrotate
$> pm2 install pm2-logrotate
The defaults work perfectly fine. It will retain logs for 30 days and rotate the log every day, each with a max-size of 10 MB.
To change any of these settings –
$> pm2 set pm2-logrotate:max_size 1K (1KB) $> pm2 set pm2-logrotate:compress true (compress logs when rotated) $> pm2 set pm2-logrotate:rotateInterval '*/1 * * * *' (force rotate every minute)
I’m using PM2 for managing all the server processes. So, installing node and nvm (node version manager) is now one of the first things I do during an application server setup.
node and nvm, just like ruby and rvm (ruby version manager) are always installed under the non-root user account.

So, I decided to write the code down and refer to this rather than trying to think it though every time!
I’ll start with the simple XMLHttpRequest
var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
req.onreadystatechange = function () {
req.onload = function () {
if (req.status == 200) {
console.info('success')
var arr = JSON.parse(req.responseText);
populatePage(arr);
}
else {
console.info('error')
}
}
}
req.open('GET', baseURL, true);
req.send();
Here, I’m hitting baseURL (defined outside of this code) and doing something with the received array with the populatePage function outside as well.
I wrote it like this so that I don’t add other code which is not relevant to the call.

$> lsb_release -a
But what if lsb_release is not installed?
The easiest way is to run
$> cat /etc/*release
This gives me an output like this!
There’s been a number of times I’ve wanted to not include some commands that I type into bash from being added to bash_history
The most convenient is to start a subshell by typing in bash again. This ensures that the commands in the subshell don’t get added to the history.
There are additional ways of achieving this as well.
