The text

Gesta Danorum, Book One
And as he thus waxed in years and valour he beheld the perfect beauty of Alfhild, daughter of the King of the Saxons, sued for her hand, and, for her sake, in the sight of the armies of the Teutons and the Danes, challenged and fought with Skat, governor of Allemannia, and a suitor for the same maiden; whom he slew, afterwards crushing the whole nation of the Allemannians, and forcing them to pay tribute, they being subjugated by the death of their captain.
gollark: The new version *is* better, even if it involves something like 70 lines more code.
gollark: I've reworked minoteaur's design a bit again because productivity is BEES and happens to other people.```sqlCREATE TABLE pages ( id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, name TEXT NOT NULL, updated INTEGER NOT NULL, content TEXT NOT NULL);``` I went from that small and thus uncool database thingy to this:```sqlCREATE TABLE versions ( vuuid TEXT PRIMARY KEY COLLATE BINARY, rawSize INTEGER NOT NULL, encoding TEXT, data BLOB NOT NULL);CREATE TABLE pages ( title TEXT PRIMARY KEY, created INTEGER NOT NULL, updated INTEGER NOT NULL, latestVersion TEXT NOT NULL REFERENCES versions(vuuid));CREATE TABLE revisions ( ruuid TEXT PRIMARY KEY COLLATE BINARY, page TEXT NOT NULL REFERENCES pages(title), timestamp INTEGER NOT NULL, type TEXT NOT NULL, data TEXT NOT NULL, -- JSON version TEXT NOT NULL REFERENCES versions(vuuid));CREATE INDEX revisions_page_ix ON revisions(page);```
gollark: Suspicious timing.

gollark: He is ALWAYS right.
