theking581@ what? Yahoo?

Just in case, I'll just post here.

If you're still looking for a partner, my info:

Name: Long Wei
EECS 2nd year, leaning on CS
I like to think I'm pretty proficient in C, since I'm TAing CS61CL.
Other info as you request them

I am going to see if I hear back from a friend of mine today Long, 
but I figure he already has a partner. You don't have to sell yourself 
to me like some of the other people on here are doing. I think 
Berkeley's lower division is a joke and the upper division so far isn't 
much either. I took 10 computer science courses before transferring 
here. I have programmed in MASM, C++, Java, C#, and Python. C is just 
C++ without objects and with more pointers. As long as you know how to 
turn a computer on, i'll take you. I will contact you later today if I 
haven't heard from my friend.

Not exactly selling myself, just getting across the fact that I have
the minimum requirement for the first project.

I don't mean to defend Berkeley's curricula, but I'm curious as to
what you think these classes need to improve on in order to not
constitute as a joke.

Well, first off. My friend didn't have a partner so I am going to be
working with him. Sorry Long. I didn't mean to be hostile. I just
figure, call me old fashioned, that if your in the course you have
what's necessary. As for my dislike for Berkeley's lower division CS
program. The CS 61 series introduces computer science in the wrong
direction, from abstract ideas to actual languages. I found that
learning in the opposite direction is better. So I learned basically
C++ and Java and was able to pull from those languages the abstract
ideas. I wouldn't automatically assume anything about you as a
computer scientist based on your education here at Berkeley. Let's
leave it at that.

I also am in need of a project partner. My name is Jeffrey Morlan; I'm an EECS major and am in my junior year.

Long, if you're still available perhaps we could partner up?

Sure thing.

If you need to identify me by person, tomorrow during lecture I'd
probably be sitting in the front row towards the right side, with
really short and boring asian hair.

By the way, the '...' in the email addresses, do those just mean yahoo?

Right; this is my yahoo.com address. If you want to contact me outside this group, it's probably better to use [email protected] (in case that gets censored: the domain is berkeley.edu), since I check it more frequently.

order of creating tables: DEFERRABLE
Posted by: "Kuang Chen" [email protected]   cs186ta_kuang
Mon Feb 2, 2009 6:17 pm (PST)

A question came up in section today about foreign keys that may not be
satisfied until its dependent tables are created. For instance, table
A has a foreign key on table B. Does table B have to be created first?

Yes, if statements are invoked individually. But you can specify as
DEFERRABLE your CREATE TABLE statement and have the constraint
checking be done at the end of the transaction.

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/interactive/sql-createtable.html
search for "DEFERRABLE"

a little survey

I know it's early in the semester, but I thought it would be interesting to get a bit of feedback 
on the class before we get busy with HW 1. 

Please take a couple minutes to fill out the survey at this URL:

http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=p3Vy9I5XA8aDEOu5OSt_2bOQ_3d_3d

Thanks!
Joe
