This document introduces database access in ASP.NET, which allows accessing data from databases, XML documents, business objects, and flat files. It discusses how ASP.NET provides classes and objects that hide the complexities of connecting to, retrieving, querying, and manipulating data. ADO.NET provides a bridge between ASP.NET controls and backend data sources. The document also mentions that retrieving and displaying data in ASP.NET uses data source controls to manage the connection and data selection, while data view controls bind and display the data.
Oracle Week 2016 - Modern Data ArchitectureArthur Gimpel
This document discusses modern operational data architectures and the use of both relational and NoSQL databases. It provides an overview of relational databases and their ACID properties. While relational databases dominate the market, they have limitations around scalability, flexibility, and performance. NoSQL databases offer alternatives like horizontal scaling and flexible schemas. Key-value stores are best for caching, sessions, and serving data, while document stores are popular for hierarchical and search use cases. Graph databases excel at link analysis. The document advocates a polyglot persistence approach using multiple database types according to their strengths. It provides examples of search architectures using both database-centric and application-centric distribution approaches.
This presentation demonstrate how Incorta support the data security requirements. It describes how to define the session variable and how to define the security filters.
WSO2Con US 2013 - Store and Deliver Data to the Mobile App Edge: WSO2 Storage...WSO2
This deck showcases how WSO2 Storage Server can be used for data source provisioning in your environment, which will contain functionalities to create and manage relational databases and NoSQL data stores as well. He will also look at how WSO2 Data Services Server can be used to access that data, where it has more mobile friendly, native support for data formats such as JSON and RESTful data access.
This document provides an overview of NoSQL databases. It discusses how SQL databases rely on tables and schemas while NoSQL databases do not have a fixed schema and can store data in documents or other structures like key-value pairs. The most popular types of NoSQL databases are described as document stores, key-value stores, graph databases, and column stores. Examples of popular NoSQL databases and companies that use NoSQL are also listed.

These slides gives an overview of NoSQL in the context of Big Data processing. We start by defining SQL vs NoSQL concepts, the CAP theorem, and why NoSQL technologies are needed. Then we discuss the various NoSQL technology breeds, including Key/Value stores, Document stores, Column Family (wide-column) stores, memory cache stores, and graph stores, along with related tools and examples. After that we present various solution architecture patterns, in which NoSQL data stores play viable roles. Next we delve into Microsoft Azure implementation of some of these NoSQL technologies, including Redis Cache, Azure Table Storage, HBase on HDInsight, and Azure DocumentDB. Finally, we conclude with some useful resource, before we give a sneak peek on how to use neo4j for Graph Processing.

Nicholas Accad has over 15 years of experience in Unix systems administration with expertise in TCP/IP, networking protocols, operating systems including Linux, Solaris, and Windows, and scripting languages such as Perl, Python, and Bash. He has worked as a senior technical support engineer at VMware Canada providing support for storage, SANs, VSAN, databases, and virtualization technologies. Prior to VMware, he held systems administration and networking roles for several companies in Montreal managing servers, networks, firewalls, and virtualization platforms.
Virtualization, cloud, optimization, migration – Everyone’s talking about the next thing in enterprise IT, but clear answers on direction aren’t readily available and mistakes are costly.
Let us show you how to understand the demands and usage patterns across your enterprise in order to make smart strategic decisions that help you manage IT while keeping cost in check. Analyze and visualize what in your IBM ICS Infrastructure is actually used, by whom and where those people are geographically. Learn about security risks, application design complexity and webification readiness without getting (any more) grey hair.
This document discusses using database systems for dynamic web applications. It covers why databases are needed to address issues like performance, scalability, maintenance and data integrity as sites grow. Several types of database systems are described, including desktop, enterprise, free and embedded options. Key factors in choosing a system include size, features, cost and support needs. Security features like views, authorization rules and encryption are also summarized. Common web application platforms like PHP and ASP that integrate with databases are introduced.
This document provides an overview of basics of computers and management information systems (MIS). It discusses what a computer is and its components, including hardware, software, programs, and evolutions of computers through different generations. It describes the central processing unit, input/output devices, and types of networks. It also explains different types of personal productivity software like word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, and calendar software. Finally, it provides details about Microsoft Word and PowerPoint, describing their primary user interfaces and functions for basic text formatting, tables, and slides.

Architecting Agile Data Applications for ScaleDatabricks
Data analytics and reporting platforms historically have been rigid, monolithic, hard to change and have limited ability to scale up or scale down. I can’t tell you how many times I have heard a business user ask for something as simple as an additional column in a report and IT says it will take 6 months to add that column because it doesn’t exist in the datawarehouse. As a former DBA, I can tell you the countless hours I have spent “tuning” SQL queries to hit pre-established SLAs. This talk will talk about how to architect modern data and analytics platforms in the cloud to support agility and scalability. We will include topics like end to end data pipeline flow, data mesh and data catalogs, live data and streaming, performing advanced analytics, applying agile software development practices like CI/CD and testability to data applications and finally taking advantage of the cloud for infinite scalability both up and down.
This document discusses databases and their types. It defines data as raw facts without meaning, and information as processed data. A database is described as a collection of organized data that can be easily accessed and managed. The main types of databases discussed are operational databases for day-to-day operations, data warehouses for historical reports, external databases containing internet data, analytical databases for summarized insights, distributed databases across networked sites, end-user databases created locally, and cloud databases relying on remote technology. Advantages of databases include security, data sharing, redundancy elimination, and ensuring correctness and accuracy.

This document discusses four common open source workloads that could be migrated to Azure:
1) Three-tier web applications which typically have presentation, business, and data layers that could utilize Azure VMs, SQL databases, and PaaS services.
2) Websites which are commonly hosted externally and could benefit from Azure's auto-scale, CDN, and security capabilities while reducing costs.
3) Content management systems for internal and external sites that manage content and could take advantage of Azure PaaS offerings.
4) Education management systems like Moodle that address the needs of academic institutions and could utilize Azure VMs or PaaS depending on the solution.
