I am in the process of evaluating whether BigQuery could be a good choice for some data processing we want to run periodically.
I do appreciate that BigQuery is still under heavy development and that improvements and fixes are likely to happen pretty often.
I woud like to know what would be the process should a release break a previously working process. I have read the SLAs, but they seem to be more oriented to downtime, rather than regression issues/bugs. Is there an option for paid support with SLAs?

I need to prepare a Software Requirements Specification Document for a small enhancement within an JAVA application.
I have tried goggling for the same but found the samples for whole application whereas I am preparing SRS for a small enhancement within an application.
Can anybody suggest the links or suggestions for preparing the SRS.
As you realized by yourself what you're asked isn't a Requirements Specification, which usually covers the whole set of requirements for a software.
What you've been asked is a Change Request, and it must be merged in the existing SRS. However something tells me that there's no SRS for the software you're dealing with, as your management doesn't know the difference between both...

Here's my big and dirty list of SEO/analytics sites and services. As far as I can tell, none of them can give me a table of most viewed URLs by unit time for some arbitrary domain or subdomain (or the Internet as a whole). How can I get that, or something that approximates it nicely, paid or free?

thanks for mentioning serpIQ! I work with the company and it's always nice to be included. To answer your question, I don't think that any of the tools you listed (or any I can think of myself) can do what you're asking. The only thing that may be able to would be custom reporting for Google Analytics, or some other metrics tracking SaaS - I know we don't offer it as part of our product. Hope that helps!

I was reading the book on DW and it says knowledge of spreadsheets will be good for DW.
I have some time left before applying for jobs.
Should i start learning microsoft excel in advanced for DW
I know only basic spreadsheets not advanced
Do get into the Datawarehousing field, it is fundamental for you to be "datamart" litterate.
First start here :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_mart
Then, dare taking a look there :
http://www.information-management.com/infodirect/19991120/1675-1.html : it will give you an awesome step back and you'll be able to reply to questions like a pro, who has seen datamarts in real-life ecosystems.
And last, but not least, get as familiar as you can with the Map Reduce theory. Among others, take a jump here :

I'm wondering what are recent advances in relational database theory and related domains? I'm interested in new approaches, query languages (alternatives to SQL and/or extensions to it), products (proprietary and open source, though I'm much more interested in open source) and research projects developed in last years.
I am not versed in the subject but there was a very nice project based on XML structures over RDB that caught my eye a few years back and now seems to work perfectly.
Have a look at http://exist.sourceforge.net/ to see a nice approach to RDB used to build a more flexible storage system with XQuery as the query language. You should like it, it's open source.

To what extent can buying/selling shares be computerised? [closed]

Out of interest, how far can buying and selling shares be made automatic? How far do you think it can go? And what would you need to do it?
Very far.
There are real computers performing fully automated trades as we type.
I'd take a look at some trading APIs provided by E*TRADE https://us.etrade.com/e/t/activetrading/api or something similar. You can use virtually any language to call the API and execute trades, get quotes, and generate strategic algorithms.
However, a fair warning, unless you are a large corporation with lots of money to burn you need to be careful as a homegrown algorithmic trading system can be very dangerous.
I believe something like 70% of all trades on the market today are placed by computer systems automatically and not by people. It makes it harder for smaller individuals to compete because we simply don't have the financial resources to purchase the power and speed we need to compete.
Thanks,
