Feed: Planet MySQL; Author: Severalnines; Complex, inflexible architectures, redundancy and out-of-date technology, are common problems for companies facing data to cloud migration.  We look to the “clouds,” hoping that we will find there a magic solution to improve operational speed and performance, better workload and scalability, less prone and less complicated architectures. We hope to make our database administrator's life more comfortable. But is it really always a case?  As more enterprises are moving to the cloud, the hybrid model is actually becoming more popular. The hybrid model is seen as a safe model for many businesses.  In fact, it's ... Read More

Feed: Planet PostgreSQL. Recently, I did some work with Sawada-san on the TDE. So I studied on the encryption algorithm. So far, I study five modes in the AES. In this document, I will introduce the difference in the five kinds of mode. General The block ciphers are schemes for encryption or decryption where a block of plaintext is treated as a single block and is used to obtain a block of ciphertext with the same size. Today, AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is one of the most used algorithms for block encryption. It has been standardized by the NIST (National ... Read More

Feed: Planet MySQL; Author: Michael McLaughlin; There was an option during the Fedora 30 Workstation installation to add the Apache Web Server, but you need to set it to start automatically. Unfortunately, there was no option to install PHP, which I thought odd because of how many web developers learn the trade first on PHP with a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, Perl/PHP/Python) stack. You see how to fix that shortcoming in this post and how to install and test PHP, mysqli, and pdo to support MySQL 8. Before you do that make sure you install MySQL 8. You can find ... Read More

Feed: Arisant. Author: Kyle May; When open enrollment or class registration comes around, do you fear for your data center’s health? Could a 10% increase in students cause your data center to run at maximum capacity and create a catastrophic event for your IT staff like a system crash? If your current on-premises system is reaching the end of its useful life, causing headache for IT staff, or running at capacity 10 days out of the year followed by a semester of running at 50%, then it may be time for your college or university to consider a new solution ...

Feed: Recent Announcements. Oracle Database 18c introduces many new features such as Polymorphic Table Functions, Schema Only Accounts, Scalable Sequences, and others.  A Polymorphic Table Function (PTF) is a type of table function whose return type is determined by the arguments passed into the PTF. This is ideal for developers if they want to provide generic extensions that support arbitrary input tables or queries. You can create Schema Only Accounts, for object ownership without allowing clients to log in to the schema. Scalable Sequences reduce the sequence and index block contention and can improve the performance of concurrent data ingestion ... Read More

Feed: Oracle Blogs | Oracle Blogs. When you really think about it, what we call “work” hasn’t evolved much since the Industrial Revolution: While the technology has made most tasks easier, the name of the game is still mass production—codifying business processes using technology and scaling it across the entire enterprise. But artificial intelligence (AI) changes the game. Rather than fitting people into a repetitive process, AI offers the opportunity to liberate them from it altogether, freeing their time and creative energy for more strategic and meaningful work. For the first time since the Industrial Revolution, technology is being used ... Read More
