Everyone has heard of MySQL. Well, probably not everyone – say, everyone in the development and database monitoring space. Do you ever wonder why? MySQL is everywhere. The industries that use MySQL as their primary database management system include the automobile industry (think Volvo, BMW, etc.), the fashion industry (think SheIn and the like), the finance industry uses it heavily, it’s prevalent in the education industry.

If you’ve been around the world of development at least for a little while, you will know – automation is everywhere. We mean, it’s 2022: one can find companies automating robotization processes, there are specialized houses with automated processes instead of keys, etc.
The software sector is not an exception to this rule, either – automation, especially database automation, in the software sector is rampant as well. Some of the processes that are being increasingly automated are related to databases, database monitoring, and database farm management: by automating database processes, people find themselves at ease when working with all kinds of database flavors.

These days, Docker is a frequent friend of many developers. Some developers even turn to Docker to run their database systems – applications are safe in containers, containers usually are lightweight, and generally, containers allow devs to bundle all the software they use into “boxes” called Docker containers.

If you’ve heard of databases of any kind, there’s a good chance you’ve heard (or even worked with) Microsoft Azure, or simply Azure as it called in the development circles. Azure is a frequent friend in the Microsoft circles – partly because it’s developed by Microsoft, but also partly because it’s a very efficient tool in managing all kinds of databases.

All developers and database administrators have been in a situation where they need to test their database deployments before going live. There‘s simply no way around it: want to be live? Test your environment in a sandbox before moving onto publicly visible spaces (e.g. the web, etc.) But have you ever wondered what database administrators need to consider before deploying their database environments both locally and live? We will tell you all about that in this blog post.

Database locks have been a bane to most DBAs.
They cause unnecessary problems to databases and business processes. In this blog, we will examine what database locks are and issues that can arise from them and provide ways to deal with them on SQLServer.
Not only that, but we will also implement it in dbWatch Control Center as an example.

If you are a database-conscious developer, chances are that you are keeping an eye out on the things that are happening in your database platforms. Whether you are running a single database instance or a bunch of database instances at once, you are keeping an eye out on your databases nonetheless – one of the things you are inevitably keeping an eye on is the activity that us going on inside of your database platforms.

If you are a databse-conscious developer or a database administrator and especially if you find yourself immersed in the dbWatch blog at least on-and-off, you already know how important it is to monitor your database resources, you know a couple of things about database jobs, and other database functionality. You probably already know a couple of things about your database resources as well – they are vital to improving your database functionality.
