This example demonstrates how to connect RStudio on macOS Catalina to an Oracle database using the odbc and DBI libraries. It shows the complete setup process, including installing unixODBC via Homebrew, downloading Oracle Instant Client files, configuring environment variables in `.bash_profile`, and editing the `odbc.ini` file to define the data source. The code uses `DBI::dbConnect()` with the `odbc::odbc()` driver to establish the connection and a SQL query `select sysdate from dual` to verify the setup.

PostgreSQL installation tutorial

This example presents a step-by-step guide for installing PostgreSQL across macOS, Linux, and Windows. It shows the terminal command `psql -U postgres` as the target for verifying a successful setup, then details OS-specific actions, such as using the Postgres.app on macOS, compiling from source via `wget` on Linux, and using the EnterpriseDB installer on Windows. The tutorial also covers checking the `$PATH` variable and verifying the server port with `lsof`.

A Jupyter notebook demonstrates how to connect to an IBM Db2 database on the cloud using Python. It shows the sequential steps of importing the `ibm_db` library, defining connection credentials for a dashDB instance, and constructing a DSN connection string with the driver, hostname, port, protocol, and user credentials. The rendered DSN output, including the hardcoded host and password, is displayed. The notebook relies on the `ibm_db` API, which uses the IBM Data Server Driver for ODBC and CLI, to establish the database connection.

Connexion à PostgreSQL + histogramme avec ggplot2

This example demonstrates how to create a histogram directly from a PostgreSQL database table using R. The code first establishes a database connection with the `DBI` and `RPostgreSQL` packages, then uses `dplyr` and `dbplyr` to query the table as a remote data frame. The `ggplot2` library renders the histogram via `geom_histogram`, mapping a specified column to the aesthetic. Finally, the connection is explicitly closed with `dbDisconnect`. The code illustrates a workflow for plotting distributed data without loading it entirely into local memory.

Rprofile.R

This R configuration script customizes a user’s R environment for data analysis, primarily by setting package options, a CRAN mirror, and database connections via RODBC. It defines utility functions like `tdf` for transposing data frames, `propmiss` for summarizing missing values, and `qq` for generating QQ plots of p-values. The code uses base R functions such as `lapply`, `sapply`, `hist`, and `plot`, along with `utils::head` and `base::summary` shortcuts. The script demonstrates practical workflows for data wrangling, statistical visualization, and system-specific setup, emphasizing reproducible coding habits.

This notebook demonstrates how to access and query a Db2 database from JupyterLab using the SQL magic extension (`ipython-sql`). It shows the process of loading the SQL extension, connecting to a database via a SQLAlchemy connection string (using the `ibm_db_sa` dialect), and executing SQL commands. The example includes a connection attempt with provided credentials and illustrates error handling when the connection string is malformed. The code relies on `%load_ext sql`, `%sql` for single-line queries, and `%%sql` for cell-level SQL operations.

Script to download JDK / JRE / Java binaries from Oracle website from terminal / shell / command line / command prompt

This example shows a collection of Bash scripts for downloading Oracle JDK/JRE binaries from the Oracle website via the terminal. It demonstrates how to automate fetching multiple platform-specific packages (Linux, Windows, macOS) and documentation in a single invocation using `curl` or `wget`. The scripts use `wget` with options like `-c` for resuming interrupted downloads and `--header` to pass the required Oracle license cookie, while `curl` variants employ `-C -` for continuation, `-L` for redirects, and `-O` for remote filenames. The code includes version-specific base URLs for JDK 8, 9, and 10, along with commented notes on command-line flags.

Brew script for installing packages and applications on OSX

This visualization uses a horizontal bar chart to summarize the categories and counts of software packages installed via a Homebrew shell script. The chart encodes each tool’s install command type (e.g., `brew install` vs. `brew install --cask`) using color, with bars grouped by functional category like programming languages, dev tools, and communication apps. Data is derived directly from the script’s parsed `echo` section headers and package lines, rendered using D3.js for scalable vector graphics (SVG) layout and axis generation, while hover interactions reveal exact package names. The underlying data source is the public GitHub gist by CliffordAnderson, with the script logic illustrating dependency-free package management on macOS.

This example demonstrates how to configure a MySQL database connection using the Knex.js query builder. The code explicitly defines a client as `mysql` and passes connection parameters such as `host`, `user`, `password`, and `database` from environment variables (`process.env.jimDBHost`, etc.). It illustrates the typical setup pattern for connecting Knex to a MySQL server, preparing the connection object for subsequent queries. The visualization highlights the structure of the `require('knex')({...})` initialization call, focusing on the configuration object that specifies both the client type and the secure credential handling through environment variables.
