Queries are gaining more and more complexity, data is getting bigger and bigger. Most optimizations in database technology are done in the database server. This is an approach to optimize queries on the client side.

It is possible that you may face following issue while comparing different versions of a file - specially with .css and .js file as following: CAUSE:  It happens when SVN is not able to identify the mime-type for a file and sets it as application/octetstream FIX: To verify, select SVN properties of a any file under SVN repository. The popup shows the MIME-TYPE (if any). You can select MIME type and hit Remove button as shown below: However, if you have a lot of files, you can execute following batch command. It checks for all .css and .js files and set there mime-type to nothing. This worked great for me in a live project.

First, install the missing packages (tested on Ubuntu 12.04): # we use tesseract-ocr-deu for German apt-get install tesseract-ocr tesseract-ocr-deu poppler-utils apt-get install exactimage imagemagick ghostscript Second, we download and install pdfsandwich: wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/pdfsandwich/pdfsandwich%200.0.7/\ pdfsandwich_0.0.7_amd64.deb dpkg -i pdfsandwich_0.0.7_amd64.deb Finally, we run pdfsandwich and pdftotext on a PDF: pdfsandwich -resolution 240x240 -rgb -lang deu german_document.pdf # creates ge
