Postgres Gallery

What is this?

The goal of this gallery is to gather underappreciated features of SQL and PostgreSQL. The plan is to populate this with contributions from students participating in Google Code In.

How do I add a item into this gallery?

Check content/feature/example.md to see an example item in the gallery. To add something into this repository, you will need to open a pull request into this repository.

Website Deployment

For temporary purposes, this website is being continuously deployed to: https://postgresgallery.netlify.com/

postgresgallery's Issues

Extra scrollbars on code syntax highlight

Currently, the code syntax highlight shows extra scrollbars that are not needed there that don't look very nice.

For this issue to be fixed, these scrollbars shouldn't show up if there is no overflow.

Create a gallery item that demonstrates a real life use case of a pivot table + SQL code for it.

Pivot tables are extremely helpful in spreadsheet based applications such as, Excel or Google Sheets, but implementing them in SQL is not as easy as dragging and dropping some items.
Check the Readme file on how to add a entry into the gallery, and submit a PR to solve this issue!

Categorizing Gallery Items

Currently, there are no categories for the gallery, all the items are just flat files.

For every item added to the gallery, it should be categorized.

In order to complete this task, you will need to add category support to the gallery items, and the homepage will need to be reworked to show items based on categories, rather than just a flat list.

Homepage fixes

Currently, the homepage is structured around blog posts, which is not ideal for what we are trying to pursue here.

Here are the improvements you will need to make on the code base in order to mark this issue as solved.

• Remove the hero photo, and replace with something explaining what the purpose of the website is.
• Instead of showing the generated short excerpt on the home page, only show the titles of the examples.

Implement a balance sheet in SQL

Balance sheets are a great way to keep track of expenses for personal reasons as well as business reasons.

In spreadsheet software, creating a balance sheet is super simple, as it can reference cells from previous rows simply. However, this task is not as easy, as referencing previous rows is harder in SQL.

Complete this task by adding a gallery item with some sample data and SQL code that allows similar functionality in a SQL table.
