Review: HeidiSql vs DBeaver > Simple MariaDb database backup

I have about a gig worth of custom data in MariaDb in a docker container on a Linux server. I just wanted to do a simple backup of a database that I have been manually entering data for about 6 months now.

I first tried in DBeaver and I keep getting an error but cannot figure out why. 

1. Database > Tasks > Create new task...


2. MySQL dump




3. After executing the task, I get error.




I could not find more details on the error, so I just went to HeidiSql to perform a backup because I had successfully done so in the past. I thought maybe there was a data issue.


1. Right click on the server name

2. Export database as SQL

3. Click checkbox to select all databases

4. Output: Single .sql file

5. Filename: [location to put the file]

6. After a few minutes, it completed just under 1G of data.

BUGGISH: GitHub Search Result Does Not Show Certain Repositories (Work-around)

My corporation has over 15000 repositories. I have migrated over 800+ repositories with no issue. Suddenly a group of apps did not show up. I migrated more and those showed up.

I do not know if it was because of the timing to some internal issue to GitHub. I spent about an hour figuring out why it does not show. I can access the repositories manually by updating the URL.

I decided to see if I updated the description, if it would check there instead. And suddenly, it came up in the results. Only for that one repo. So, I had to go through each of the missing repos and update the description just to have it appear. I only put part of the project name and I can search the repo name that doesn't include the project name. 

My guess is that saving caused GitHub to "index" the repo again. The repos were migrated last Friday. It has been several days. I don't know the root cause but this seemed to resolve the issue.
