Ducky is an average SQL Server DBA, whose responsibilities include maintaining database performance, running reports for upper management, backup and recovery, ... Read More

Feed: IDERA Community Blog; Author: Vicky Harp; On Monday, June 12, 2017, a security researcher discovered that sensitive personal data of nearly all the 200 million registered voters from the USA was left exposed to the Internet. The owner stored the data on a publicly accessible cloud server -- Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) object storage -- without any protection against public access. Consequently, anyone with an Internet connection could have accessed the data, simply by navigating to a six-character subdomain of Amazon. S3 is notorious for being left unlocked to the public, even by some of the largest organizations ... Read More

Feed: IBM Big Data & Analytics Hub - All Content; Author: marc-haber; A decade ago, information governance was dictated and enacted by a select group of people. Today, while the principles of information governance are largely owned by the same select group of people, everyone has a hand and shared responsibility in the enactment and fulfillment of governance. Whether it is through quality assessment, monitoring and reviewing usage, adherence to policies and rules or engagement on the annotation and structuring of data. The data owner, architect or developer are usually most familiar with this information, and are therefore responsible for ... Read More

Feed: Google Cloud Platform Blog. Author: GCP Team. By Grace Mollison, Cloud Solutions Architect Google Cloud Platform (GCP) offers robust service account key management capabilities to help ensure that only authorized and properly authenticated entities can access resources running on GCP. If an application runs entirely on GCP, managing service account keys is easy — they never leave GCP, and GCP performs tasks like key rotation automatically. But many applications run on multiple environments — local developer laptops, on-premises databases and even environments running in other public clouds. In that case, keeping keys safe can be tricky. Ensuring that account keys aren’t exposed as ... Read More

Feed: Planet MySQL. Author: MySQL Server Dev Team. MySQL 8.0.2 introduces SQL window functions, or analytic functions as they are also sometimes called. They join CTEs (available since 8.0.1) as two of our most requested features, and are long awaited and powerful features. This is the first of a series of posts describing the details. Let’s get started! Introduction Similar to grouped aggregate functions, window functions perform some calculation on a set of rows, e.g. COUNT or SUM. But where a grouped aggregate collapses this set of rows into a single row, a window function will perform the aggregation for ... Read More
