Sequelize example Updated 2025-07-16
To run examples on a specific database:All examples can be tested on all databases with:
./index.js
or./index.js l
: SQLite./index.js p
: PostgreSQL. You must manually create a database calledtmp
and ensure that peer authentication works for it
cd sequelize
./test
Overview of the examples:
- nodejs/sequelize/index.js: a bunch of basic examples
- nodejs/sequelize/update.js: This file is also where we are storing our expression-foo for now, e.g. how to do stuff like
col1 + col2
. Such knowledge can however be used basically anywhere else however, e.g. inAS
orWHERE
clauses, not just inUPDATE
. - nodejs/sequelize/count.js: a simplified single-table count example. In practice, this will be usually done together with JOIN queries across multiple tables. Answers: stackoverflow.com/questions/22627258/how-does-group-by-works-in-sequelize/69896449#69896449
- nodejs/sequelize/date.js: automatic date typecasts
- nodejs/sequelize/like.js: LIKE
- nodejs/sequelize/camel_case.js: trying to get everything in the database camel cased, columns starting with lowercase, and tables starting with uppercase. The defaults documented on getting started documentation do uppercase foreign keys, and lowercase non-foreign keys. It's a mess.
- nodejs/sequelize/ignore_duplicates.js: ignore query on unique violation with
ignoreDuplicates: true
which does SQLiteINSERT OR IGNORE INTO
or PostgreSQLON CONFLICT DO NOTHING
. Closely related Upsert versions:- Upsert
- nodejs/sequelize/upsert.js:
.upsert
selects the conflict column automatically by unique columns. Both SQLite and PostgreSQL doINSERT INTO ON CONFLICT
. PostgreSQL usesRETURNING
, which was added too recently to SQLite: www.sqlite.org/lang_returning.html - nodejs/sequelize/update_on_duplicate.js:
.bulkCreate({}, { updateOnDuplicate: ['col1', col2'] }
. Produces queries analogous to.upsert
. This method is cool because it can upsert multiple columns at once. But it is annoying that you have to specify all fields to be updated one by one manually. - stackoverflow.com/questions/29063232/how-to-get-the-id-of-an-inserted-or-updated-record-in-sequelize-upsert/72092277#72092277
- stackoverflow.com/questions/55531860/sequelize-bulkcreate-updateonduplicate-for-postgresql
- Upsert
- nodejs/sequelize/inc.js: demonstrate the
increment
method. In SQLite, it produces a statement of type:UPDATE `IntegerNames` SET `value`=`value`+ 1,`updatedAt`='2021-11-03 10:23:45.409 +00:00' WHERE `id` = 3
- nodejs/sequelize/sync_alter.js: illustrates
Model.sync({alter: true})
to modify a table definition, answers: stackoverflow.com/questions/54898994/bulkupdate-in-sequelize-orm/69044138#69044138 - nodejs/sequelize/truncate_key.js
- nodejs/sequelize/validation.js: is handled by a third-party library: github.com/validatorjs/validator.js. They then add a few extra validators on top of that.The
args: true
thing is explained at: stackoverflow.com/questions/58522387/unhandled-rejection-sequelizevalidationerror-validation-error-cannot-create-pr/70263032#70263032 - nodejs/sequelize/composite_index.js: stackoverflow.com/questions/34664853/sequelize-composite-unique-constraint
- nodejs/sequelize/indent_log.js: stackoverflow.com/questions/34664853/sequelize-composite-unique-constraint
- association examples:
- nodejs/sequelize/one_to_many.js: basic one-to-many examples.
- nodejs/sequelize/many_to_many.js: basic many-to-many examples, each user can like multiple posts. Answers: stackoverflow.com/questions/22958683/how-to-implement-many-to-many-association-in-sequelize/67973948#67973948
- ORDER BY include:
- nodejs/sequelize/many_to_many_custom_table.js: many-to-many example, but where we craft our own table which can hold extra data. In our case, users can like posts, but likes have a integer weight associated with them. Related threads:
- nodejs/sequelize/many_to_many_same_model.js: association between a model and itself: users can follow other users. Related:
- nodejs/sequelize/many_to_many_same_model_super.js
- nodejs/sequelize/many_to_many_super.js: "Super many to many": sequelize.org/master/manual/advanced-many-to-many.html This should not exist and shows how bad this library is for associations, you need all that boilerplate in order to expose certain relationships that aren't otherwise exposed by a direct
hasMany
with implicit join table.
- nested includes to produce queries with multiple JOIN:
- nodejs/sequelize/nested_include.js: find all posts by users that a given user follows. Answers: stackoverflow.com/questions/42632943/sequelize-multiple-where-clause/68018083#68018083
- nodejs/sequelize/nested_include_super.js: like nodejs/sequelize/nested_include.js but with a super many to many. We should move this to nodejs/sequelize/many_to_many_super.js.
- two relationships between two specific tables: we need to use
as:
to disambiguate them- nodejs/sequelize/many_to_many_double.js: users can both follow and like posts
- nodejs/sequelize/one_to_many_double.js: posts have the author and a mandatory reviewer
- hooks
- internals:
- nodejs/sequelize/common.js: common utilities used across examples, most notably:
- to easily setup different DBRM
- nodejs/sequelize/min_nocommon.js: to copy paste to Stack Overflow
- nodejs/sequelize/min.js: template for new exapmles in the folder
- nodejs/sequelize/common.js: common utilities used across examples, most notably:

Eigendecomposition of a matrix Updated 2025-07-16
Every invertible matrix can be written as:where:Note therefore that this decomposition is unique up to swapping the order of eigenvectors. We could fix a canonical form by sorting eigenvectors from smallest to largest in the case of a real number.
- is a diagonal matrix containing the eigenvalues of
- columns of are eigenvectors of
Intuitively, Note that this is just the change of basis formula, and so:
- changes basis to align to the eigenvectors
- multiplies eigenvectors simply by eigenvalues
- changes back to the original basis

Spontaneous parametric down-conversion Updated 2025-07-16
You can then detect one of the photons, and when you do you know that the other one is there as well and ready to be used. two photon interference experiment comes to mind, which is the basis of photonic quantum computer, where you need two photons to be produced at the exact same time to produce quantum entanglement.
Features Alan Migdall of the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Produced by the Joint Quantum Institute (JQI).
Mentions that this phenomena is useful to determine the efficiency of a single photon detector, as you have the second photon of the pair as a control.
Also briefly describes how the input energy and momentum must balance out the output energy and momentum of the two photons coming out (determined by the output frequency and angle).
Shows the crystal close up of the crystal branded "Cleveland Crystals Inc.". Mentions that only one in a billion photon gets scattered.
Also shows a photomultiplier tube.
Then shows their actual optical table setup, with two tunnels of adjustable angle to get photons with different properties.
Very short whiteboard video by Peter Mosley from the University of Bath, but it's worth it for newbs. Basically describes spontaneous parametric down-conversion.
One interesting thing he mentions is that you could get single photons by making your sunglasses thicker and thicker to reduce how many photons pass, but one big downside problem is that then you don't know when the photon is going to come through, that becomes essentially random, and then you can't use this technique if you need two photons at the same time, which is often the case, see also: two photon interference experiment.

TODO vs Phylogenetic tree? www.visiblebody.com/blog/phylogenetic-trees-cladograms-and-how-to-read-them:
Cladograms and phylogenetic trees are functionally very similar, but they show different things. Cladograms do not indicate time or the amount of difference between groups, whereas phylogenetic trees often indicate time spans between branching points.
Counties of the United Kingdom Updated 2025-07-16
There are few different versions. The most important as of 2020 are:
- historic counties of England: these are more fixed, but useless for politics
- administrative counties of England: these evolve with politics more
No one is capable of offering an official/more generalized (why can't Google Maps do this properly?) map than these people: wikishire.co.uk/map/#/centre=54.004,-4.500/zoom=7 So so be it.
There are unlisted articles, also show them or only show them.
