csv-to-sqlite 2.1.3 - security update

 Over on GitHub, the Dependabot opened several PRs/notifications about security-compromised dependencies in my tool for guessing the types of data in your CSV files and importing them into a SQLite DB. I noticed it's really been quite a while since the last update, so I went ahead and fixed that. Dependabot warned that some of the updates can't be done automatically because there were larger version bumps to overcome, but I wasn't bothered - the script is quite simple, and the trivial functional...

csv-to-sqlite 2.1 - script support, encodings and brackets

I also have other Ghost blogs in different places and domains. This post documents the stuff I had to learn, and what I ended up using, in case I need a refresher. For various reasons, I run th...

Scripts for repeatable SSIS package deployment

 Instead of writing manuals with a lot of pictures for a customer's admin, I prefer to write a script that does the deployment by itself when ran. Several times I'd needed to deploy SSIS packages and configure them with SQL scripts, which is a pain to do manually, since it involves a lot of clicking and SQL editing. Of course, another advantage of using scripts is that your deployments are repeatable, quick, and can be shared with your colleagues via your VCS of choice. All of the components used...
