The ability to run PowerShell, Bash or Java callbacks adds a lot of power and flexibility to Flyway automation. But how do we ensure these scripts are trusted, don't contain any 'dangerous' commands, and are immutable once signed?

Getting realistic test data from large production databases can be a challenge, especially when you're trying to keep dev environments lightweight and secure. Tony and Tonie discuss how subsetting CLI in Redgate Test Data Manager will help you quickly generate smaller, fully representative subsets automatically.

In this video Redgate Solution Specialist Ryan Springett showcases Redgate Test Data Manager Standard, the software companies latest solution offering in the test data space. Walk through how to define different database treatments via the user interface including.

Steve Jones, Grant Fritchey and Ryan Booz discuss moving your code from one database platform to another, highlighting some of the real benefits and concerns that you need to be aware of.

In this special solo episode, host Louis Davidson stays ‘full screen’ for the entire show and answers the very questions he asks of others! Where it all started, what tech he loves, the one obvious thing he loves to do outside of working with databases (which has been mentioned before)...it’s all covered here!

The Redgate Advocates (Kellyn Gorman, Ryan Booz, Steve Jones, and Grant Fritchey) sat down at the PASS Summit last year and spent some time telling how they went from working directly in tech, to helping others work with tech - both inside and outside of Redgate and their products. Connect with the hosts.

Flyway will automatically check pending migration files for code smells using built-in and customizable rules. In this episode, Tony and Tonie discuss not one but two Phil Factor articles! One explains how to get started, and the other provides a starter pack of custom regex rules to help teams implement their own coding standards and describes how to maintain your rule library efficiently as it grows.

Intermittent database problems are much easier to resolve when DBAs can pinpoint exactly when they occur and under what conditions. With Query Executions, Redgate Monitor captures execution details for individual queries, helping DBAs identify the precise circumstances that cause resource contention and performance problems.

In this Coffee Chat episode, Louis sits down with Redgate Advocate Kellyn Gorman. Kellyn tells her origin story of becoming a leader in the data community, which is as inspiring as it is interesting, and the conversation also covers security (and the inherent trust issues data professionals have!), fact-checking ourselves, aging DBAs, Lego obsession, and Raspberry Pi. Also, ever wondered why Kellyn’s social media handle is dbakevlar? Listen in to find out!

In this episode, Tony and Tonie discuss Tonie's article for developers who want to learn how to use the Flyway CLI to automate the database development workflow used in the Flyway Desktop GUI. Tonie talks about capturing the schema changes made to a local development database, and then use schema comparison to auto-generate and validate a Flyway versioned migration script.
