This is a guest post from Mri Pandit. Information is the cornerstone of business operations, and data is now the most critical asset for any organization. But as reliance on data grows, so do the risks associated with breaches, fraud, and non-compliance. For most organizations, particularly in highly regulated sectors like finance, security and compliance are no longer optional – they’re essential for survival.

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.

In mid 2024, one of Redgate’s coaches, Clare, pulled together a team to focus on improving inclusivity within Redgate’s Engineering organisation. This group was designed to work alongside the wider company initiatives, under the guidance of Engineering leadership. Inclusivity is a very broad topic, and the group wanted to avoid becoming overwhelmed with all the possible options.

We’re excited to reveal our latest effort towards simplifying and accelerating the test data management process: AI Synthetic Data Generation, part of Redgate Test Data Manager. Officially introduced in a session at the recent PASS Data Community Summit, the capability uses machine learning to rapidly generate realistic yet entirely synthetic data – all while maintaining data integrity and with data privacy built-in as priority.

Have you heard about DORA in the past few months? That’s the Digital Operational Resilience Act, not DevOps Research and Assessment (DORA) on this occasion, which has been gathering pace and attention as the deadline for implementation approaches.

Every IT and data team in Financial Services is already faced with many challenges. They manage large database estates with Personally Identifiable Information (PII) that is particularly sensitive, requiring governance and process protection. They have to constantly adapt to changing customer expectations with better products, more seamless experiences, and five-nines availability. They’re expected to deliver new features and services quickly, while keeping data safe.

If you’re a developer, you may well be familiar with the scenario. You’re writing code and you want to test your changes against a copy of the production database. One that’s representative of the size and distribution characteristics and retains referential integrity so that, when your changes are released, they won’t result in a failed deployment that will take hours to resolve. But there’s a problem. The database copy you’re working with isn’t up to the job.

We’re excited to share Flyway Pipelines with you, a new service available in preview for all Flyway users of our Community, Teams and Enterprise editions to view the health and history of their database changes through a single pane of glass. Over recent years, one of the biggest challenges Flyway users have shared with us is how to gain easy visibility of all the database changes that teams are developing and deploying with Flyway.

Data, and the way enterprises use data in areas like development and testing, has not traditionally been a focus for business leaders but that’s now changing. Data is more varied and complicated than ever before, for example, with enterprises using two or more different database platforms – and 40% using four or more. It’s also spread wider and further, with enterprises hosting their databases in a combination of cloud and on-premises infrastructures.

Today, all the hosts (Louis Davidson, Ryan Booz, Kellyn Gorman, Steve Jones, and Grant Fritchey) get together for a festive adjacent discussion about AI, content, books, community, vector, PIVOTing, observability, and we end up with a brief discussion on gluten-free gingerbread men (because we did!) All this, though absolutely none of us broke into song like a Hope/Crosby musical!

Managing database security, compliance, and performance across a complex estate is no easy task. In this video, Tony and Tonie discuss how Redgate Monitor Enterprise brings all the data you need into one place. They speak about how it helps DBAs track user permissions, ensure configuration compliance, create custom reports, and implement resilient high-availability monitoring, and more.

In this video Tony and Tonie discuss the quick way to verify whether a Flyway validation error is a real cause for concern, due to retrospective metadata changes, or just the result of a developer valiantly adding formatting and documentation to improve the code. If the latter, developers can safely run Flyway repair to resume normal migrations.

In this Advochats episode of Simple Talks, we welcome a new Advocate to the podcast - Kellyn Gorman! And since Kellyn is the Oracle Advocate, this week's show focusses on how Oracle differs from other data platforms that the advocates have used.

In this latest episode, Tony and Toney discuss PostgreSQL's buffer cache hit ratio (BCHR), a metric tracked by Redgate Monitor to help you assess the health and performance of your databases. By correctly interpreting this ratio and using it with other relevant memory and IO metrics, you can identify potential bottlenecks in query execution before they impact users.

Frank Geisler, CEO of GDS Business Intelligence GmbH, explains how the templates in SQL prompt enable team collaboration. SQL Prompt enables users to write high quality SQL faster. As well as autocompleting your code, SQL Prompt takes care of formatting, object renaming, and other distractions, so you can concentrate on how the code actually works..

On this episode of Simple Talks, Louis hangs out with Aaron Bertrand and talks hockey, curling, football, hybrid cars and even some technology. One of the big (non-sports) themes of the episode is that Aaron is a problem-solver and is interested in how issues can be overcome with technology - even if his focus now and in the conceivable future is being a top-level expert with some of the aspects of SQL Server.

In this episode of The Tony and Tonie Show, the pair discuss how Environment Variables make interactive use of Flyway much easier, and how they are essential when developing callback scripts. This article explains the range of configuration details you can provide and how, and demos a PowerShell script to auto-convert the parameter values stored in Flyway.conf files into environment variables.
