Image
 Amazon Relational Database Service (AWS RDS) makes it easy to set up, operate, and scale a relational database in the cloud. Instead of managing servers, patching OS, and handling backups manually, AWS RDS takes care of the heavy lifting so you can focus on building applications and data pipelines. In this blog, we’ll walk through how to create an AWS RDS instance , key configuration choices, and best practices you should follow in real-world projects. What is AWS RDS? AWS RDS is a managed database service that supports popular relational engines such as: Amazon Aurora (MySQL / PostgreSQL compatible) MySQL PostgreSQL MariaDB Oracle SQL Server With RDS, AWS manages: Database provisioning Automated backups Software patching High availability (Multi-AZ) Monitoring and scaling Prerequisites Before creating an RDS instance, make sure you have: An active AWS account Proper IAM permissions (RDS, EC2, VPC) A basic understanding of: ...

How to Find Folder Space in Linux Easily

-
Here's an example that shows how to use find command to get directory utilized space in Linux. Many of a time during production support, or when crontab jobs failed, the reasons behind is space shortage of a directory.

Folder space


The find is handy you can use to get utilized space of a directory. That helps you to delete unnecessary files (that actually make some space).


Linux find command


Here's the find command that I have used in our project. You will find here the detailed explanation of this command and how to use it.


find /home/srini -xdev -ls | sort +6rn | head -20


Part#1: Directory path


In the first part,  after the find you need to give the directory's path for which folder you are going to find space.


Part#2: Option -xdev


The second part is -xdev, which gives the space usage of all the subdirectories.


Part#3: Option -ls


The next part is the -ls option that provides a sorted list of all the subdirectories. 

Part#4: Sort command


Then, the sort command sorts based on the value +6rn.


Sort options


-n Sort numerically (10 will sort after 2), ignore blanks and tabs 
-r Reverse the order of sort 
-f Sort upper- and lowercase together 
+x Ignore first x fields when sorting


Part#5: Option +xrn


The value +6 states to ignore 6 columns in the sort. The option +rn sorts in descending order of memory.


Sort command


Part#6: Option head -20


The head -20 gets the top 20 rows of directories details.

The command you can use to find the folders which takes more space.

Tip#1 I have gone through the best books and Udemy courses. I am giving here for your reference. Here is the book on Bash scripting and Udemy course is Bash Mastery helpful to know more.

 In the world of data science, automation, and general programming, working with files is unavoidable. Whether you’re dealing with CSV reports, JSON APIs, Excel sheets, or text logs, Python provides rich and easy-to-use libraries for reading different file formats. In this guide, we’ll explore how to read different files in Python , with code examples and best practices. 1. Reading Text Files ( .txt ) Text files are the simplest form of files. Python’s built-in open() function handles them effortlessly. Example: # Open and read a text file with open ( "sample.txt" , "r" ) as file: content = file.read() print (content) Explanation: "r" mode means read . with open() automatically closes the file when done. Best Practice: Always use with to handle files to avoid memory leaks. 2. Reading CSV Files ( .csv ) CSV files are widely used for storing tabular data. Python has a built-in csv module and a powerful pandas library. Using cs...

SQL Query: 3 Methods for Calculating Cumulative SUM

-
Image
SQL provides various constructs for calculating cumulative sums, offering flexibility and efficiency in data analysis. In this article, we explore three distinct SQL queries that facilitate the computation of cumulative sums. Each query leverages different SQL constructs to achieve the desired outcome, catering to diverse analytical needs and preferences. Using Window Functions (e.g., PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle) SELECT id, value, SUM(value) OVER (ORDER BY id) AS cumulative_sum  FROM your_table; This query uses the SUM() window function with the OVER clause to calculate the cumulative sum of the value column ordered by the id column. Using Subqueries (e.g., MySQL, SQLite): SELECT t1.id, t1.value, SUM(t2.value) AS cumulative_sum FROM your_table t1 JOIN your_table t2 ON t1.id >= t2.id GROUP BY t1.id, t1.value ORDER BY t1.id; This query uses a self-join to calculate the cumulative sum. It joins the table with itself, matching rows where the id in the first table is greater than...
