The AI said I had to do a database first, not code. Who am I to argue? So, with all the prompts outlining the goals of the project, I’ve gone forward with the project, and step one is creating a PostgreSQL database on Azure. This is part three of a multi-part set of articles. I’ll move this list to the bottom of future articles: Part 1: Introducing the Concept of dbRosetta Part 2: Defining the Project & Prompt Templates.

Whether it’s a stalled Log Reader Agent, a conflicting insert on the subscriber, or a failed cleanup job bloating the distribution database, Redgate Monitor now brings SQL Server replication issues to light early, before performance or reliability are affected. In many SQL Server environments, replication remains essential for offloading reporting and analytics workloads, or for maintaining local and synchronized data copies across regions.

This is the next installment of the series on building a database and an application called dbRosetta using AI/LLM. Part 1 introduces the concept. THE AI PICKED DATABASE FIRST!
