The latest News and Information on Databases and related technologies.
With Icinga DB Web you can now customise Icinga Web’s list views to your needs. While in one scenario you might be more interested to see as many objects as possible at a glance, in another scenario detail attributes of only a few objects will be more important to you. Yet, in the first case, you would even be distracted by more detailed information.
N+1 queries are the most common problems among developers. N+1 database query problems occur when you have to call the database for N items, and those N items have again N additional data fields which are not in the same table, and those extra N data fields are required for the use case. Generally, this issue is handled at the time of database designing, but every problem cannot be solved efficiently by one solution, some need to be solved by brute force.
According to results from the Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2022, nearly half (46%) of respondents say they use MySQL, making it the most widely-adopted database technology among developers today. This popularity is due in no small part to MySQL’s unique features that help it handily meet the needs of modern applications, from small software projects to business-critical systems.
Are you curious about the difference between open-source Redis and Redis enterprise? Of course, Redis Enterprise is a hosted service that runs Redis db on behalf of its customers, while open-source Redis is available for anyone to use. However, there's also a key difference between open source and enterprise in how the clusters are implemented. In order to understand the difference, we need to know what Redis Clusters are.
At InfluxData, one of the common questions we regularly get asked by developers and architects alike the last few months is, “How does InfluxDB compare to MongoDB for time series workloads?” This question might be prompted for a few reasons. First, if they’re starting a brand new project and doing the due diligence of evaluating a few solutions head-to-head, it can be helpful in creating their comparison grid.
Microsoft Azure Cloud offers broadly 3 different options to deploy SQL on Azure: Choosing the right Azure deployment option for you depends on your requirements and the level of effort you want to put into managing your SQL server.
Understand the two dimensions of scaling for database query and ingest workloads, and how sharding can make scaling elastic — or not. Scaling throughput and performance are critical design topics for all distributed databases, and sharding is usually a part of the solution. However, a design that increases throughput does not always help with performance and vice versa. Even when a design supports both, scaling them up and down at the same time is not always easy.
