Improving Your PostgreSQL Triggers: A Deep Dive into "Create or Replace" Functions
Understanding PL/pgSQL Triggers: A Deep Dive into “Create or Replace” Functions Introduction to Triggers in PostgreSQL In PostgreSQL, triggers are stored procedures that are automatically executed before or after the execution of SQL statements. They can be used to enforce database constraints, update calculated fields, and perform other operations that need to be performed on every row affected by a SQL statement.
In this article, we will explore different ways to create “create or replace” functions in PL/pgSQL, focusing on triggers.

Counting Customer Call Times: A Step-by-Step Guide Using Pandas in Python
Groupby and Count: How Many Times a Customer Was Called at Specific Point of Time Introduction In this article, we will explore how to group data by certain columns and count the number of times a specific condition is met. We will use Python’s pandas library to achieve this.
The problem statement involves a DataFrame with three columns: not_unique_id, date_of_call, and customer_reached. The goal is to create a new column, new, that contains the count of how many times a customer was called at specific points in time.
Pandas nunique() for Categorical Columns Only, Null Otherwise?
Pandas nunique() for Categorical Columns Only, Null Otherwise? In this article, we’ll explore how to use the nunique() function in pandas to count the number of unique values in categorical columns while excluding numerical columns. We’ll also discuss alternative methods and best practices for working with missing data.
Introduction The nunique() function is a powerful tool in pandas that allows us to quickly identify the number of unique values in each column of our DataFrame.
Resampling Pandas DataFrames: How to Handle Missing Periods and Empty Series
The issue here is with the resampling frequency of your data. When you resample a pandas DataFrame, it creates an empty Series for each period that does not have any values in your original data.
In this case, when you run vals.resample('1h').agg({'o': lambda x: print(x, '\n') or x.max()}), it shows that there are missing periods from 10:00-11:00 and 11:00-12:00. This is because these periods do not have any values in your original data.
