You can watch the replay for this Geek Sync webcast in the IDERA Resource Center: http://ow.ly/XBun50A5p1a Running DBCC CHECKDB on your databases is critical to avoid a potential nightmare. Ideally we do this regularly to find & fix corruption. However, because of the possible performance impact on server resources, sometimes it isn’t cost effective to run. Many companies actually forgo it; simply because they do not have the means to handle it. With SQL Virtual Database software, we can make it accessible for them to start. In this session John Morehouse will show you how to use the IDERA SQL Virtual Database in conjunction with PowerShell to ensure all of your databases get checked by this critical process with minimal impact.

Major technology trends are reshaping the DBA role at many organizations. The size and complexity of database environments continues to grow with higher data volumes, more workloads, and an increasing rate of database deployments that need to be managed. What's more, new data types and emerging applications continue to drive the adoption of new types of databases. Heterogeneity rules the day at most IT departments. Altogether, DBAs are under constant pressure in a constantly evolving environment -- fighting fires to keep the lights on while navigating the impact of cloud and automation on their daily.

Migrating database instances to the cloud is a complex task that often results in a disappointing outcome, including a complete failure. To repatriate a database back to an on-premises infrastructure wastes time and money. In addition, it causes disruption in the operations of an organization. Read this whitepaper to learn more about developing the right strategy with proper optimization, planning and monitoring throughout the entire migration.

Problems and solutions for migrating databases to the cloud

IDERA Software

The cloud is an attractive option for applications like database instances, but there are also many reasons to keep systems on-premises for the time being. Furthermore, migrating to the cloud isn’t always a straightforward process, so it can be time-consuming. As a result, many organizations end up with a hybrid environment in which some systems are in the cloud, while others remain on-premises. The biggest problem with this architecture is managing it, as many tools can only focus on the cloud or on-premises infrastructure. Tools that work in the hybrid cloud can thus save users time and money.

Monitor cloud database with SQL Diagnostic Manager for SQL Server

IDERA Software

Database platforms are mature products with powerful capabilities, but they still require regular care to maintain a high level of performance. It’s therefore critical to continually monitor database instances for availability, health, performance and security. This practice generally makes heavy use of automation to handle routine tasks, allowing database administrators (DBAs) to focus on issues requiring human intervention. Database professionals are steadily increasing their use of tools to monitor databases, according to recent surveys.

SQL Server resellers often send true-up forms to their customers more frequently than Microsoft requires, with some customers receiving them every month. They may feel compelled to fill them out each time, but Microsoft only requires one true-up each year. This true-up must also include an update statement that describes the count changes for the previous year. Increasing true-up counts in the EA is quite easy, but reducing the count, also known as truing down, can be very difficult. However, it can be done by performing the following steps.

Abstraction is all about designing your data model to support changing requirements. In this IDERA Live session, learn about abstraction through examples such as “Party” and “Document”. Determine whether or not to abstract or leave the terms in a more concrete state by applying the three critical questions covering: (1) Commonality, (2) Value, and (3) Effort. Learn the good and the bad of abstracting, and of course, the Star Wars connection. Lastly, see how IDERA’s harvesting tools can pull newly created terms and relationships between Terms from Logical Data Models to seed Business Glossaries, kick starting the creation of the Data Governance project.

Hackers, thieves, and many cybercriminals are constantly on the lookout for ways to harvest your data and use it for their own nefarious purposes. And where do they look? Everywhere! However, your database systems are the most likely target because that is where the data is located! And increasingly, your data is not just on computers running in your data center, but also in the cloud. So, organizations must be ever-vigilant to see who is accessing the sensitive corporate data in your databases usage and protect it from unauthorized access. Protecting your data for business reasons is a big enough reason to check your data access. In addition, many governmental and industry regulations exist that mandate you do so. Each regulation places different demands on what types of data access we must watch and audit. Ensuring compliance can be difficult, especially when you need to follow multiple regulations. And you need to capture all relevant data access attempts while still maintaining the service levels for the performance and availability of your applications. This webinar discusses these issues as well as presenting the requirements for auditing data access in relational databases. The goal of this presentation is to review the regulations affecting the need to audit at a high level. Then, the speaker will discuss the things that need to be audited, along with pros and cons of the various ways of accomplishing this. The presenter, Craig Mullins, is president and principal consultant of Mullins Consulting, Inc. where he focuses on data management strategy and consulting. Craig writes the monthly DBA Corner column for Database Trends & Applications magazine. With over three decades of experience in all facets of database systems development, he has worked as a programmer and analyst, a database administrator, an industry analyst, a software executive, and a consultant.

Have you moved to a cloud database like Azure SQL Database and are having performance issues? While the Azure SQL services running in Azure are like SQL Server, they are key differences in performance tuning methodologies. In this session, you will learn about monitoring options, changes in cloud DMVs, and additional cloud tuning tools like Azure SQL Analytics and Performance Insights that can allow you quickly get to performance data across several instances. You will learn about what you need to keep in mind when choosing between scaling-out to readable secondaries and scaling-up to higher tier solutions. Discuss with Microsoft MVP Monica Rathbun the challenges and benefits of tuning, what to keep in mind, and what to expect in the cloud.

Not everyone has a full time database administrator on staff, and in many cases the responsibility of managing the SQL Server falls on the developers. But as long as the backups are running successfully you’re good, right? Not exactly. Your databases could be heading for trouble! Without proper tuning and maintenance, your database performance can grind to a halt. Tailored to the “Non-DBA”, this session will show you how to configure your SQL Server like a DBA would, and why some SQL Servers default settings may be slowing you down. Discussing server settings, database configurations, and recommended maintenance, you will leave this session with the knowledge and scripts you need to help configure your SQL Server instance to fit your workload, and ensure that your SQL Server and databases are running smoothly.
