Performing one query or multiple queries in MySQL?

Performing one query or multiple queries in MySQL?

Is it better to do this query once:
SELECT * FROM foo WHERE id = 5
Or will it be better to perform queries like the following (getting one
column at a time) 3-5 times, to only retrieve the specific columns you
need, and as you need them?
SELECT col1 FROM foo WHERE id = 5
SELECT col2 FROM foo WHERE id = 5
SELECT col FROM foo WHERE id = 5
.......

Nginx - size of request_body variable

Nginx - size of request_body variable

What is the size of nginx $request_body? Can I modify it?
Specifically, can it be tuned with client_body_buffer_size and is this a
good idea (think 100 request/s in peak, but usually smaller...)? I set it
to 256k but it did not work (500).
The intention is to pass it down to uwsgi application.

Where does 'flash' belong to?

Where does 'flash' belong to?

The forth line below sets flash, which is a FlashHash instance.
class LoginsController < ApplicationController
def destroy
session[:current_user_id] = nil
flash[:notice] = "You have successfully logged out."
redirect_to root_url
end
end
Where does this FlashHash instance belong to? If it's a global variable,
it should begin with $, and if it's a member variable of Application
Controller or its superclasses, the name should begin with @, correct? Is
it just a local variable that was created in "destroy" function?

Cannot connect to SQL Server 2012

Cannot connect to SQL Server 2012

I'm trying to connect to a SQL Server 2012 database using C#, both the
server and program are on the same computer. When I try to connect I get
an exception:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a
connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible.
Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured
to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 25
- Connection string is not valid)
There is an inner exception simply saying {"The parameter is incorrect"}.
I'm trying to connect using this
SqlConnection sql = new
SqlConnection("Server=(local)\\MSSQLSERVER;Database=Test;User
ID=logger;Password=logger;Trusted_Connection=False");
sql.Open();
I have a SQL login called logger with the same text as the password and it
is mapped the database Test. I believe I have the server set up to take
remote logins.
Any ideas as to what I am missing?

Python Logic - decreasing set of 1's using for loops to create triangle

Python Logic - decreasing set of 1's using for loops to create triangle

This is for a CS101 type Python class.
The problem asks the programmer to write for loops which will set up this
pattern:
111
11
1
I have example code here which produces
11111
11111
11111
11111
11111
for i in range(0, 5):
X = 0
for j in range(0, 5):
X = (X*10)+1
print(X)
Here's one of my attempts. Obviously it doesn't work. Please help!
n=int(input())
for i in range(0, n):
X = 0
for j in range(0, n):
X = (X*10)+1
i=(n-2)
print(X)
Please try to explain an answer using loops only. We haven't gotten to
functions. I have this stackoverflow answer but it is written as a
function.

Wordpress Disqus - If have comments, else... issue

Wordpress Disqus - If have comments, else... issue

I'd like to hide the wordpress comment count if there are no comments on
the specific post.
<?php
if (have_comments()) {
echo comments_number('');
} else {
echo ' ';
}
?>
This works fine with the standard Wordpress comments but doesn't work when
Disqus is installed.
Does anybody know a work around?
