Feed: Recent Announcements. With this release, ElastiCache resources expose Amazon Resource Names (ARNs). ARNs are now visible in the ElastiCache portion of the AWS console. They are used to identify one or many resources the policies apply to. For example, all ElastiCache resources for account id 123456789012 in the us-east-2 region are identified with “arn:aws:elasticache:us-east-2:123456789012:*”. Policies can then be authored to allow or deny specific operations on resources. The below policy allows for all ElastiCache actions on subnet groups, security groups and replication groups in us-east-1.  {    "Sid": "policy1",    "Effect": "Allow",    "Action": "elasticache:*",    "Resource": [        "arn:aws:elasticache:us-east-1:123456789012:subnetgroup:*",        "arn:aws:elasticache:us-east-1:123456789012:securitygroup:*",        "arn:aws:elasticache:us-east-1:123456789012:replicationgroup:*"    ]} Policies can be created visually in the IAM portion ...

Feed: SAS Blogs. Author: Jeffrey Cooper. Tax administration amid COVID-19 requires analytics to navigate uncertain revenues and massive fraud potential In the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, the issue of tax administration was low on the agenda for most. Beyond the obvious public health concerns, most business and government leaders were focused on how best to keep businesses afloat.

Now, from the IRS ... Read More

Feed: MariaDB Knowledge Base Article Feed. Author: . Basic idea Consider a query with a WHERE clause: WHERE col1=col2 AND ... the WHERE clause will compute to true only if col1=col2. This means that in the rest of the WHERE clause occurrences of col1 can be substituted with col2 (with some limitations which are discussed in the next section). This allows the optimizer to infer additional restrictions. For example: WHERE col1=col2 AND col1=123 allows to infer a new equality: col2=123 WHERE col1=col2 AND col1 < 10 allows to infer that col2<10. Identity and comparison substitution There are some limitations to ... Read More
