Database administrators must monitor their databases for availability, health, and performance. However, monitoring has costs associated with it that may exceed the benefits it provides. One solution to this problem is to use an inventory
management tool in addition to a performance monitoring tool.
Idera live 2021: Database Auditing - on-Premises and in the Cloud by Craig M...IDERA Software
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.

Databases are often like the big bang, suddenly they just exist, right? Well, not really, someone had to do the due diligence and design them conceptually then come up with a physical model for implementation. If it’s a transaction database, then we're done and the application connects and, voila, data starts filling our database. But in other situations such as business intelligence, analytics, conversions, etc. we must move data from other systems into the database.
In this session we are going to discuss these two key aspects: database design patterns and Extract, Transform and Load (ETL). We will talk about the role of data modeling and SQL Server Integration Services for data migration.

MedImpact’s Journey to Database Deployment AutomationDevOps.com
Many – if not most – organizations have treated the deployment of code to databases differently than they do other code stacks. This is in part because few organizations have dedicated “Database Developers”, as they do java, python, swift or other ‘specialized’ software engineers. It is also because databases have not traditionally been easily amenable to the standard software deployment processes or toolsets. These differences can lead to occasional deployment mishaps that can result in slow deployments or costly mistakes that are difficult to roll back. Ironically, making the case to justify an investment in database deployment automation is not necessarily an easy ask because these mishaps, though costly, are viewed simply as process failures due to resource or team “discipline” challenges. The truth is much deeper than that.
This presentation seeks to describe MedImpact’s journey to improve database deployment throughput and quality – a journey that required people, process and tooling changes. It will also describe the justification process that finally enabled the investment, and the improvements we have experienced since.

How Chemical Inventory Management Software Works.pdfCloudSDS
The role of the chemical inventory management system to streamline and maintain chemical inventory is important. But how does it work to simplify the whole process? The points below will help you know how, so take a look.
1. Easy Data Collection and Entry:
A cutting-edge chemical inventory management software works by facilitating the collection of data related to chemicals stored within a facility. Using this facilities can input required information into the software’s database. Moreover, it also allows the creation of a catalog and inventory which each facility may need to keep an updated record of details.
2. Proper Tracking of Data:
Using these facilities can make data tracking more flawless. Workers or various professionals do need access to the details of the chemicals with minute details and changes. This requires details about the chemicals from procurement to disposal. That’s why an updated database will be required. With this software, facilities, and workers won’t have to be worried as it will give them easy access to the database. This is how chemical inventory management software helps different industries and their professionals.
3. Helps with Barcode Tracking:
Tracking and monitoring chemical containers is not difficult with proper and easy-to-use chemical inventory management software. Such software comes with certain barcode tracking technology, which makes this task possible. But how is it possible? Well, each container is assigned a unique identifier and it can be scanned. With a simple mobile app, scanning is possible, which also updates inventory records in real-time.
4. Sending Alerts and Notifications:
This is an advanced software that comes with multiple impressive features. It includes features for generating alerts and notifications related to chemical inventory management. For instance, users may receive alerts about chemical safety-related tips. Moreover, they may also receive some other details about the chemicals and their stocks or compliance issues.
5. Reporting and Analysis:
For facilities, having a clear understanding of the inventory practices is crucial. The chemical inventory management software enables users to generate reports and perform data analysis. This way, understanding the current status of the inventory and the required changes is possible.

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.
Problems and solutions for migrating databases to the cloudIDERA Software
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.
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.
Six tips for cutting sql server licensing costsIDERA Software
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.

Geek Sync | How to Be the DBA When You Don't Have a DBA - Eric Cobb | IDERAIDERA Software
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.

When we talk about “knowing our data,” we don’t seem to refer to the term “data integrity” anymore as part of that conversation. After all, that phrase can be very intimidating. But at its heart, it’s very simple – guaranteeing our data has meaning. The good news is much of what we already do creates data integrity in our databases.
In this presentation, we will explore how the basic constructs in our database design enforce data integrity. We will look at this from table design down through details, like data types and constraints. Additionally, we will discuss the difference between objects that support data integrity and those that support database performance.
At the end of the presentation, you will have a better understanding of what data integrity is, how to implement and enforce it in your databases, and why it is so important for our data.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.
