Gah, what's this phrase?
Regarding databases, when you keep your data 'healthy' and free from errors and duplicates. There's an industry buzz-word for it 'data..' -something.

I know it, but it's just on the tip of my tongue and I can't quite rememeber it.
Scrubbing?

Optimized? Compact?
I think maybe you're talking about "data redundancy"?

I think it's prolly scrubbing, but we won't know til he answers.
Quote from SamH :I think it's prolly scrubbing, but we won't know til he answers.

I've never heard of data scrubbing, but maybe that's because I'm not english And because I haven't really been keeping up with database related stuff

Yeah, it's one of those "buzz words" that not everybody uses rather than an official term (like technology's "bleeding edge"), which is the main reason why I think it's prolly the word he's looking for.

Scrubbing refers to the (usually only part-automated) process of seeking/destroying duplicate data, compacting tables, creating optimized indexes, constructing relationships and so on.
It's not scrubbing.

It's something like data cleansing, but not quite. It's not an adverb, it's a noun describing a process.

EDIT: 'Data-hygeine' That's it

I knew it was some horrible management-speak phrase like that.

That's the kind of buzz word that comes out of blue sky thinking.
Well I am famed for my helicopter viewpoint.

I utterly hate writing covering letters and CVs. The language you're expected to use makes me need a shower afterwards. You know you're talking bulls**t, they know you're talking bulls**t, and yet you're both expected to keep up the whole ridiculous charade.
i had that same arguement last year with my pwl teacher when we did our coursework which was to write a cv and covering letter :drunk:
I dont know where anyone got the idea that people write good covering letters and CV's from, I have to deal with recruitment in India and believe me when I say they'd make more sense to me if they wrote them in Hindi and I dont know a word of it.

I dont even bother with a CV anymore, certainly nothing that can be recognised as a CV. It's more a collection of images and screenshots with captions. The whole thing about believing your qualifications and previous employment meens anything is pretty rubbish, i'd rather demonstrate what I can do.

When I read a CV I look for the clues as to what the persons skills are, and then I look for the evidence to back it up. I don't care what university you went too who says you can do something - I look for some hint as to the skills you think you have, the evidence to support it (examples) and then I test you on it... Believe me when I say finding anyone who can actually pass all 3 conditions is a nightmare.

I'll say one thing for school leavers, they don't lie about their previous experience! (hint: if you have skills use them out of passion and show what you've done, it meens more than a certificate).
Depends entirely whether your CV is being read by a proffessional who enjoys their job and genuinely beleives in what they're doing, or a bitter middle-manager who has to constantly make up words in a deperate attempt to justify their job to their superiors.

Unfortunately for me, until I finish my degree, my CVs will be read by the latter.
"Game-changing" is the new insta-rage buzzword.
data integrity?

First thing that came to my mind at least.

Data deduplication?

Gah, what's this phrase?
