https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtuAdk4MwWw This video is mainly about different techniques about how to use SSH tunneling serving and maintaining access when not possible . i am actually adding this video particularly because of the graphic approach followed explaining how communication in the internet work , more precisely , IP PORTS . Types of Port Forwarding SSH's port forwarding feature can smuggle various types of Internet traffic into or out of a network. This can be used to avoid network monitoring or sniffers, or bypass badly configured routers on the Internet. Note: You might also need to change the settings in other programs (like your web browser) in order to circumvent these filters.

MySql : Understanding Generated Columns

Blog
The Theory Generated Columns is a feature released on MySQL 5.7. They can be used during CREATE TABLE or ALTER TABLE statements. It is a way of storing data without actually sending it through the INSERT or UPDATE clauses in SQL. The database resolves what the data will be.

They work with: mathematical expressions (product_price * quantity)built-in functions (RIGHT(), CONCAT(), FROM_UNIXTIME(), JSON_EXTRACT())literals (“2”, “new”, 0) Besides that, they can be indexed but they don’t allow subqueries in it.A Generated Column works within the table domain. If you need subqueries on a particular column, you may have to look at Views. The basic example As an example I am going to use an e-commerce database as based on my past experience…
