I know you can do the line/circle notation, but our lecture says we're not supposed to use those attributes. We're supposed to find a better solution. I've been reading the recommended database book, but the author DOES use the notation..? He doesn't seem to present an alternative.

Optional attributes can be represented with a dotted line connection to their respective entity. For example:optional attribute

Most of the pre-commit check tools I have used with different organizations do not allow whitespace at the end of lines. What is the motivation for this? Can it cause different behaviour, increase flash memory usage, or is it just a stylistic thing?

Complex numbers don't seem to me that widely used. But still C99 introduces not one, but two keywords about them (_Complex and _Imaginary). To me it seems that those belong in a library, and possibly not even the standard library.
Why are complex numbers so important to the standardization committee of the C language? More important than pixels, 3D points, files, time.

I finally found it, its in \lib\Cake\Model\Datasource\DboSource.php in the function read()

Can you recommend any resources every NoSQL developer should be familiar with?
Here's a nice link collection to databases, forums, articles and other resources:

one of the "must read" resources for a developer, NoSQL or not, is "the source code"
