Chrome Extensions: History Button, Extensions Button, Downloads Button

I just created some very simple extensions for Chrome shortly after I taught myself how to create extensions.

As I said, they're VERY simple, but I find them useful, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to share them.

Each extension is a simple lightweight extension that adds a shortcut button to your browser for quick access to your history, extensions, or downloads. It either opens a new tab, or switches to the respective tab if you already have it open in a tab you're not using.

You could nearly accomplish the same thing if you made a bookmark, but this assures you won't open multiple tabs and I like to keep some things separate from the bookmarks bar.

MySQL Select Count Distinct – Counting and Identifying Duplicate Records

Looking for a [relatively] quick way to identify duplicate records in a table and list how many records there are for each duplicate? Look no further.

In my case, I’ve got a table named Searches which tracks queries on one of my sites. I wanted to check the top queries, so I used this SQL statement:

1
2
3
4
5
SELECT COUNT(*) AS repetitions, Query
FROM Searches
GROUP BY Query
HAVING repetitions > 1
ORDER BY repetitions DESC;

There you have it. A simple, effective way to count and label duplicate records.
