While I am familiar with SQL, I am not familiar with any of the libraries you mention on the wiki page (Ecto, Honey SQL and Slick), so maybe I am not the target audience... Your sections about "Joins Are Values" and "Aggregates are self-contained" seem difficult to follow: I think I understand

One possibility is that you might have installed Racket via apt. A command like: sudo apt list --installed | grep racket should help to see if that is the case. If so, I think uninstalling the apt package would be sufficient. -Philip On Fri, Jun 21, 2019 at 3:23 PM Norman Ramsey wrote: > I

[racket-users] how to uninstall Racket 5.3.6?

2019-06-21 Thread Norman Ramsey
I have an installation of Racket version 5.3.6, which dates from late 2013. The installation platform is Debian Linux, and the installation populated a lot of things into /usr/local/bin, which I suspect was the default at the time. I now wish to upgrade to the current version, but I have
