Season 2 has ended. The $2,000 pool is locked, same as Season 1.
Winners are drawn from everyone who ran a Beacon through the season.
We're finalizing the draw now and will announce winners here shortly. Nothing more to do to be eligible: if your node was running, you're in.
One thing that doesn't stop: your Beacon keeps earning Fragments the whole time it's on, season or no season.
So leave it running.
Winners soon.
Keep your Beacon running!
Day 2 of Documenting my Data Engineering Journey
Today I went hands-on with SQL Error Handling.
Here's what I built:
→ A Stored Procedure that inserts orders into a Sales database
→ Wrapped in a TRY/CATCH block
→ If it fails — it captures the exact Error Message() and Error_Number ()
→ No silent failures. No guessing. The database tells you what broke.
Why this matters:
→ Pipelines fail
→ Data is dirty
→ Errors are inevitable
A pipeline without error handling is a pipeline you can't trust.
This is the difference between SQL that works on your laptop and SQL that survives in production.

#DataEngineering #BuildInPublic #SQL
SQL + SELECT = Retrieve Data
SQL + WHERE = Filter Data
SQL + GROUP BY = Summarize Data
SQL + JOIN = Combine Tables
SQL + CASE WHEN = Categorize Data
SQL + Window Functions = Rank and Compare Data
SQL + CTEs = Organize Complex Queries
SQL + Subqueries = Filter on Calculations
SQL + Stored Procedures = Automate Reporting
SQL + All of the Above = Senior Analyst Salary
SQL is not hard.
It is just unfamiliar.
Give it 30 days and watch what happens.
