Data source seems suspect...
A handful of CS students posting 10,000 Java homework questions between them on Stack Overflow could hardly justify calling it a surge in popularity.

Nah, not TIOBES this time; they were just tapped for a random quote. This is RDeadMonkey's organic fertilizer.

Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Might be a reasonable way to determine which languages are the trickiest or hardest to learn or have the least resources available for beginners -- but definitely not "popularity".

Isn't that the same as saying Android is popular?

Dammit! I thought it was RECUPERATE ...
The RE was followed by an anagram of PEACE which just left me with a RUT to account for.
Turns out, that's what I'd fallen into.

I did this to myself, working away from the office yesterday on the laptop. The customer admin for one of our web-based systems is in quarantine at the very time when an annual purge/staffing adjustments is due by Monday morning. I volunteered to help them out the jam, requiring around 6 hours of my time but meant that my best opportunity would be yesterday working offline on a recently rebuilt laptop.
It started when I realized that the laptop only had sql server 2019 (trying to keep it light) and the database I had pulled from the server is 2017. I've been down this one-way road before but I didn't have a choice. To be honest, I naively considered that maybe if I kept it at the 2017 compatibility setting, I might be allowed to somehow get the database back to 2017 and simply get it back on the server and call it a weekend. (the app isn't normally used on the weekends) Sadly, after all these years, sql server still cannot backup to a previous version or restore from a newer version...at all.
What I tried:
0: straight up restore...straight up failed!
1: export/import data-tier (.bacpac)...failed!
2: ssms copy database wizard...failed!
The way I see it, all is not lost as there are a couple more options: (in order of likely outcomes)
0: install 2019 on the server and change the appropriate connection strings
1: manually copy records from a 2019 instance to the 2017 instance (around a dozen possible affected tables) locally
2: write a custom script to do #1
I'm going to let this one sit for a bit while I cure the new Traeger wood-pellet grill. The missus is going to do something with a chicken and a beer can later. Funny thing, their instruction manual uses a six-pack as a step indicator...by beer six, you are ready to start cooking! This should be interesting!  Anyway, I'm sure I'll find a solution!

You might be interested in How to migrate a SQL Server database to a lower version[^]
Based on my experiences long ago with SQL Server 2012:
if your database is large using SQL Server Management Studio with large scripts probably won't work, in this case I would recommend using SQLCMD.
But of course it would be even better to dump SQL Server in favor of PostgreSQL

Thanks Rick! Good advice and a trick I'll file away for future reference.
