For the last few weeks I am working as a data miner :(
This is a really hard work to do. In fact for me it is even harder.

java developer != DBA

Think of a domain that you know totally nothing since it is a new job and a new domain to me.
What I have in my hands?

  • no time (of course it is a time limited and urgent project)
  • pseudo-code: does not cover domain but just a result of reverse engineering
  • a colleague who has already resigned and a month up the last his last working day. Thanks, he is helpful and patient
  • totally new framework that has no up2date dependency

I know it is not a good start.

What I have done up to now:

  • I figured out database schema and domain (only a small portion of total) estimated: %2
  • I got used to my new multinational company: think of an office that has more than 6 native languages: Dutch,Ukraine, Indian, Zimbabwe, Turkish, Chinese
  • I have finished half of the requested queries
  • learned more SQL in a week than I have learned for 4 years
  • one more week to go :(

wish me good luck…
