Sql server keeps returning invalid column name for the clv_tier alias

 If you're receiving an "invalid column name" error for an alias, it typically indicates that the alias you've used in your SQL query is not recognized. Here are some steps to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:


1. **Check the Alias Name:**

   Verify that the alias you're using in your SQL query is spelled correctly and matches the alias used in the SELECT clause. Typos or case sensitivity issues can lead to this error.


2. **Check the Table and Column Names:**

   Ensure that the table and column names you're referencing in your query are also spelled correctly. The alias should match the column name you're selecting or renaming.


3. **Position of the Alias:**

   Confirm that you're using the alias in the correct part of the query. For example, if you're aliasing a column in the SELECT clause, make sure you're using the alias correctly in the WHERE, GROUP BY, or ORDER BY clauses, if applicable.


4. **Scope of the Alias:**

   Be aware of the scope of the alias. Aliases defined in the SELECT clause can't be used in the WHERE clause because of the order of query execution. You may need to use a subquery or a common table expression (CTE) to make the alias available in the WHERE clause.


5. **Database and Schema:**

   Check that you're working in the correct database and schema. If the table is in a different schema, you might need to specify the schema when using the alias.


6. **Caching:**

   Sometimes, errors can persist due to cached query plans. You can try refreshing or clearing the cache to ensure you're running the latest query.


7. **Database Permissions:**

   Ensure that the user or account running the query has the necessary permissions to access the database and tables involved in the query.


8. **SQL Syntax:**

   Review your SQL syntax to make sure there are no syntax errors, as these can sometimes lead to incorrect recognition of aliases.


If you provide the specific SQL query you're using and any error messages, I can offer more targeted assistance. Additionally, checking the database schema and verifying the alias usage within your query is crucial for resolving the "invalid column name" issue.

bad character U+002D '-' in my helm template

 In Helm templates, the hyphen character (`-`) can sometimes be treated as a reserved character, particularly when defining values or labels. To include a hyphen character in a Helm template without issues, you can use one of the following approaches: 1. **Quoting the Hyphen:**    You can enclose the hyphen in double quotes, like this:    ```yaml    key: "-"    ```    This way, Helm will interpret the hyphen as a string rather than an operator. 2. **Using Backticks:**    If you need to use the hyphen within a Go template function or inside backticks, you can escape it with a backslash (`\`), like this:    ```yaml    value: `{{ .Values.someField | printf "%s \\-" }}`    ```    The backslash prevents Helm from interpreting the hyphen as a special character. 3. **Variable Assignment:**    Assign the value to a variable and use it. For example:    ```yaml    {{- $hyphen := "-" }}    key: {{ $hyphen }}    ```    This way, you can use the variable `$hyphen` wher

GitLab pipeline stopped working with invalid yaml error

 When your GitLab pipeline has stopped working with an "invalid YAML" error, it means there's a problem with your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file. This could be due to syntax errors, incorrect indentation, or other issues in your pipeline configuration. Here's how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue: 1. **Check for Syntax Errors**:    Carefully review your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file for any syntax errors. Common issues include missing colons, indentation problems, or mismatched quotation marks. Use a YAML linter or an online YAML validator to identify and correct syntax errors. 2. **Indentation**:    YAML relies heavily on proper indentation. Make sure that all lines within the same block have consistent indentation (typically using spaces, not tabs). Incorrect indentation can cause YAML parsing errors. 3. **Dashes and Lists**:    Ensure that you use the correct syntax for lists (arrays) in YAML by starting each item with a dash (`-`). Be consistent with your use of dashes throug

How do I add a printer in OpenSUSE which is being shared by a CUPS print server?

 To add a printer in openSUSE that is being shared by a CUPS print server, you can use the following steps: 1. **Ensure CUPS Client is Installed:**    Make sure your openSUSE system has the CUPS client tools installed. You can install them using the following command:    ```bash    sudo zypper install cups-client    ``` 2. **Discover Available Printers:**    Use the `lpinfo` command to discover available printers on your CUPS print server. Replace `cups-server-hostname` with the hostname or IP address of your CUPS server:    ```bash    lpinfo -v -h cups-server-hostname:631    ```    This command should list the printers shared by the CUPS server. 3. **Add a Printer:**    Use the `lpadmin` command to add a printer. Replace `printer-name` with the name of the printer you want to add and `printer-uri` with the URI obtained from the `lpinfo` command:    ```bash    sudo lpadmin -p printer-name -E -v printer-uri    ```    For example:    ```bash    sudo lpadmin -p MyPrinter -E -v socket://cu
