Many of my customers are using Flyway Enterprise to create migration scripts that will then be used to deploy database changes. They’ve been using Flyway Desktop, but some of them have expressed interest in using command line instead of the desktop.

Learn the key differences between MongoDB and Elasticsearch, and understand when to use each for your database and search needs.

SolarWinds just dropped a whitepaper, From Monitoring to Mastery: Optimizing Database Performance With Observability. Among the highlights is a breakdown of the four most critical components of database observability. Has your organization got these covered?

When working with MySQL databases, you may encounter the need to change a database name. However, MySQL no longer supports a direct renaming option. The RENAME DATABASE command, available in earlier versions, was removed due to the risk of data loss. Despite this, renaming a database in MySQL is still possible. This article explores the available methods to accomplish this task safely and effectively.

When it comes to choosing the right database management system (DBMS) for your enterprise needs, PostgreSQL—also known as Postgres—and EnterpriseDB (EDB) Postgres Advanced Server often top the list of contenders. While Postgres is a widely adopted open-source database known for its stability and feature-rich capabilities, EDB builds on this with additional tools and enterprise-focused features.

Atatus database monitoring takes you to the next level by offering comprehensive tools to track query performance, uncover bottlenecks, and optimize database efficiency. A core feature of our database monitoring is query signatures, where we leverage MurmurHash to generate unique, consistent identifiers for normalized SQL queries. This enables efficient aggregation and analysis of query metrics, even for complex workloads.

Components in Delphi save the essential time it often takes for developers to write code from scratch, providing pre-built options you can continuously reuse to assemble software, create a smooth user interface, and handle complex data connectivity tasks. Streamlined development, reduced number of errors, and consistency are only some of the advantages that you get when using components while you work with Delphi.

Ad-hoc queries are temporary SQL queries created and executed to perform a specific task without prior preparation or to save as permanent procedures or functions. Usually, they can be used to analyze data, search for particular information, or solve temporary tasks. However, if user-defined input data generates the text in ad-hoc queries dynamically, they may be vulnerable to SQL injections. In the article, we’ll explore what ad-hoc queries are and what security and access risks they may cause.

ODAC for Delphi is a comprehensive set of components that allows Delphi developers to integrate Oracle database connectivity into their applications without too much hassle. In this article, we will explore how to install ODAC, its advantages, and some of its key features.
