    Hint is musician Jonathan James, hailing from Sussex in the UK. His music has been released on independent record labels and his catalogue includes work which has found favour amongst DJs and fans from various underground music scenes.

    Early career

    Hint's first releases were on the Deep Water label - an imprint based in Leicester in the UK. Shortly after the first promos of his debut EP Beau Selector were circulated amongst DJs, Hint was invited to record a Peel Session at the BBC's Maida Vale Studios, which was broadcast in May 2002.

    Hint subsequently signed to Bristol-based label Hombre Recordings and began work on his debut album 'Portakabin Fever. The album was so called because it was written and recorded in a mobile home by James using an Akai MPC, guitar, bass and keyboards. The songs were then mixed with engineer 7-Stu-7 at State of Art - the Bristol-based studio owned by Geoff Barrow of Portishead. Once the album was complete, including cover art and a comic booklet by graphic artist Will Barras, it was released worldwide on 22 April 2003 by Hombre Recordings in association with another, larger independent record label - Ninja Tune.

    Hint (SQL)

    In various SQL implementations, a hint is an addition to the SQL standard that instructs the database engine on how to execute the query. For example, a hint may tell the engine to use or not to use an index (even if the query optimizer would decide otherwise).

    Implementation

    Different database engines use different approaches in implementing hints.

  • MySQL uses its own extension to the SQL standard, where a table name may be followed by USE INDEX, FORCE INDEX or IGNORE INDEX keywords.
  • Oracle implements hints by using specially-crafted comments in the query that begin with a + symbol, thus not affecting SQL compatibility.
  • Postgres Plus® Advanced Server (a proprietary version of PostgreSQL from EnterpriseDB) offers hints compatible with those of Oracle.

    You Won't Disappear

    by: Hint

    My bedroom is quiet, the walls are all bare
    I took all the paintings down, 'cos you, you're not here
    And it's sinking in, you're not here
    Lying on the couch, the stereo's on
    I'm singing out loud
    The memories are strewn across the room
    Like a castle on a cloud
    I took a pair of scissors to photos of this year
    I tried to cut you, but you, you won't disappear
    And it's sinking in, you won't disappear
    I really have to wonder what's in store for me now
    I want to know how i'll ever be sane
    I want to know how...
    I loved you, I still do
    I'll scream it out loud!
    Memories of you, memories of you
