Data Shaping

This is one of the greatest tech articles I read in the past two months. I will always enjoy learning something that makes such a big difference with small and clear implementation.

I also enjoy tips on database design or data handling.

The following article presents a way of grouping data, but it is not about the GROUP BY or ORER BY that we all know and it produces the result that we actually expect on the interface (that requires a little bit of coding besides the GROUP BY / ORDER BY, if we decide to go with the “GROUP BY” or "ORDER BY" or JOINs option).

Read it. It is a must.
