IBM PCs, even into the PS/2 days, would boot into Cassette BASIC if you didn't have a floppy drive or boot disk inserted: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_BASIC
My high school had the PS/2 Model 25 SX, introduced in 1992, without hard drives. All of the software ran off of a Novell NetWare file server, but required a bootable floppy disk. If you removed the floppy disk, they would boot into the built-in BASIC from the machine's ROM.
Chapters are regenerated every time a new commit is pushed to a PR. Our thinking is that the chapters should serve as "auto stacked diffs" since they should follow a logical order.
Do you or your team use stacking in your workflows?
Procedures are very useful to enforce business logic in the database, rather than in the application. It’s like putting a higher level application-specific API on top of your database schema.
For Cockroach, it could help substantially with latency for multi-statement transactions, since the procedure could be executed on a database node closest to the leaseholder for the data. Executing a multi-statement transaction on the client means incurring per-statement latency between the client and gateway node, and between the gateway node and the leaseholder.
