This document discusses database change management and the challenges faced by database administrators (DBAs). It summarizes the key difficulties in managing database changes, including maintaining different database environments and versions. The emergence of new database change management tools provides hope for improving current practices. Effective database change management requires capturing database objects and properties into collections with corresponding time and environment intersections. Key features of modern database change management tools include comparing databases, generating alteration scripts, and comparing data within and between databases. Adopting robust tools is an important step, along with establishing clear change processes.
Timothy White is a senior IT leader with experience managing complex IT projects and infrastructure. He has experience with server architecture, virtualization, database management, and implementing best practices. Some of his achievements include managing a data center migration, implementing virtualization to reduce server footprint, and establishing partnerships to provide technology solutions.

DBTA talked with Greg Nerpouni, Embarcadero Technologies’ senior product manager, to better understand how DBAs can best meet the new challenges for database performance optimization.
This document discusses data and database administration. It defines data administration as responsible for overall data management in an organization, while database administration deals with technical issues like performance and security. Key functions of each are outlined, such as policies and planning for data administration or hardware selection for database administration. The document also covers topics like database security threats and features, recovery procedures, and concurrency control techniques.
The document discusses challenges with Database Administrator (DBA) staffing and costs. It describes the wide range of tasks DBAs must perform, from routine operational tasks to complex strategic work. However, most organizations spend too much on high-cost DBAs performing simpler tasks and not enough on proactive strategic work. This leads to underutilization of expensive full-time DBAs, risk of outages from lack of prevention, and inability to optimize databases. An optimal solution would match task complexity with appropriate skill levels and costs, but this is difficult to achieve with traditional DBA models.

Many customers have deployed end-to-end workloads that span their enterprise or midsize organization. Multitier computing has taken hold, leveraging components of end-to-end workloads that span the computing systems of many departments and divisions in large enterprises and midsize businesses. Although the applications have "grown up" on separate servers — large and small — the overall business would benefit if they could be brought closer together.
This lesson covers creating a DQS knowledge base named "Suppliers" to be used for cleansing and matching supplier data. The following key tasks are covered:
1. Creating the Suppliers knowledge base and domains for fields to be cleansed and matched like "SupplierID".
2. Adding values to domains manually, by importing from Excel, or through knowledge discovery on sample data.
3. Setting domain rules to validate, correct, and standardize values.
4. Setting term relationships to standardize values like treating "Inc." as "Incorporated".
5. Specifying synonym values where one is the leading value used for cleansing.
6. Creating a composite "AddressValidation"

Optimizing Your Database Performance | Embarcadero TechnologiesMichael Findling
In complex enterprise environments standards to keep databases running at peak performance fall short, especially when multiple types of databases are present. Greg Keller, chief evangelist for DatabaseGear Products at Embarcadero Technologies explains why database performance is important to the business, and describes new solutions that keep data environments running at peak performance.
The white paper compares the user experience of three server management platforms: Dell Management Console, HP Systems Insight Manager, and IBM Systems Director. User experience testing was conducted across 14 administrators performing common management tasks on each platform. Testers rated IBM Systems Director as providing a user experience around 4% better than HP Systems Insight Manager and around 13% better than Dell Management Console based on the graphic user interface, processes, and overall experience. The paper concludes that IBM Systems Director provided administrators with a superior management experience and a reason to select IBM servers when other criteria were equivalent.

The document provides examples of how analyzing file usage and properties helped companies efficiently plan and execute projects like server consolidation and desktop upgrades.
Solving Shared Drives: 10 Tips for Cleaning Up, Organizing, and Migrating Con...Barclay T. Blair
The sexy Information Governance problems today are (in rough order of sex appeal):
Social Media
Big Data
Cloud Computing
Somewhere waaaay down at the bottom of this list comes, “Governing shared network drives.”
However, in real life – outside of the hype cycle – solving the shared drive problem is right near the top of the list for most organizations. The massive growth of SharePoint has been driven in large part by enterprises (or at least, departments within enterprises) looking for an incremental and easy replacement for shared drives.
However, most project teams tend to underestimate just how “incremental” the shift from shared drives to SharePoint or ECM is. In fact, in my experience, the problem is vexing enough that many project teams effectively throw up their hands and end up moving the big pile of unstructured manure from one unmanaged, fragrant corral to another (albeit a less fragrant, more attractive corral).
In this presentation we outline the Shared Drive problem, and provide tern practical tips for addressing it.
An architacture for modular datacenterJunaid Kabir
This document proposes a new architecture for modular data centers using standard shipping containers. It argues that fully populating shipping containers with thousands of commodity servers and delivering them as ready-to-run modules could significantly reduce data center costs through lower acquisition, deployment, and management costs compared to individual servers. This approach aims to address challenges from the rapid growth of internet services relying on large numbers of inexpensive, commodity servers in data centers.
This 3-page document provides an overview of database administration practices and procedures. It begins with an agenda that lists topics such as the roles and tasks of a DBA. The document then discusses what a DBA is and their responsibilities, which include database design, security, backups and more. It also covers related topics such as performance management, data availability, and database change management.
An Architecture for Modular Data Centersguest640c7d
This document proposes a new architecture for modular data centers using standard shipping containers. The key points are:
1) Shipping containers can house thousands of commodity server components and be delivered as fully operational modules, eliminating the need for on-site assembly and maintenance.
2) These container modules reduce costs associated with component shipping, installation, power/cooling infrastructure, and hardware administration over the lifetime of the systems.
3) The modular approach provides flexibility to rapidly deploy new capacity globally and to later relocate data centers cost-effectively if needed.

This article will outline ten helpful ideas for making your workflow more productive as a data management professional, identifying where appropriate tooling or other approaches may be implemented to raise productivity and help automate repetitive tasks.
Data warehousing change in a challenging environmentDavid Walker
This white paper discusses the challenges of managing changes in a data warehousing environment. It describes a typical data warehouse architecture with source systems feeding data into a data warehouse and then into data marts or cubes. It also outlines the common processes involved like development, operations and data quality processes. The paper then discusses two major challenges - configuration/change management as there are frequent changes from source systems, applications and technologies that impact the data warehouse. The other challenge is managing and improving data quality as issues from source systems are often replicated in the data warehouse.
In this document, we will present a very brief introduction to BigData (what is BigData?), Hadoop (how does Hadoop fits the picture?) and Cloudera Hadoop (what is the difference between Cloudera Hadoop and regular Hadoop?).

This document provides an overview of a syllabus for a course on NoSQL databases. It discusses the evolution and fundamentals of NoSQL, various data distribution models, and explores different NoSQL data models like key-value, document, and graph databases. It also covers topics like MapReduce, CAP theorem, and different types of NoSQL databases compared to relational databases.
The document discusses the rise of NoSQL databases. It notes that NoSQL databases are designed to run on clusters of commodity hardware, making them better suited than relational databases for large-scale data and web-scale applications. The document also discusses some of the limitations of relational databases, including the impedance mismatch between relational and in-memory data structures and their inability to easily scale across clusters. This has led many large websites and organizations handling big data to adopt NoSQL databases that are more performant and scalable.

The document discusses NoSQL databases as an alternative to traditional SQL databases. It provides an overview of NoSQL databases, including their key features, data models, and popular examples like MongoDB and Cassandra. Some key points:
- NoSQL databases were developed to overcome limitations of SQL databases in handling large, unstructured datasets and high volumes of read/write operations.
- NoSQL databases come in various data models like key-value, column-oriented, and document-oriented. Popular examples discussed are MongoDB and Cassandra.
- MongoDB is a document database that stores data as JSON-like documents. It supports flexible querying. Cassandra is a column-oriented database developed by Facebook that is highly scalable
The document discusses the role of a database administrator (DBA). A DBA is responsible for managing an organization's database structure, including physical database design, security, performance, backups and recovery. Key responsibilities of a DBA include establishing data policies and standards, planning the database infrastructure, resolving data conflicts, promoting data standards internally, and managing the information repository and selection of hardware/software.

Greg Keller explains that database performance is critical for businesses because slow response times, even if operations don't fail, can negatively impact businesses with high transaction volumes. The most common issue impacting performance is over-utilization. While native database tools help with performance monitoring and issue resolution, they are inconsistent across different database platforms, making it difficult for DBAs managing multiple database types. Profiling technology that visually displays system operations could help DBAs more quickly identify and address performance problems.
