Feed: Planet MySQL; Author: Valeriy Kravchuk; Back in April I was preparing for vacations that my wife and I planned to spend in UK. Among other things planned I wanted to visit a customer's office in London and discuss few MySQL and MariaDB related topics, let's call them "stories". I tried to prepare myself for the discussion and collected a list of known active bugs (what else could I do as MySQL entomologist) for each of them. Surely live discussion was not suitable to share lists of bugs (and for some "stories" they were long), so I promised to share ... Read More

Feed: SAS Blogs. Author: Jody Carlton. Once upon a Time Once upon a time, Oliver S. Füßling merely occupied a line in a SAS® program. But one day, he lost his last name, and a quest began to help our hero find the rest of his name. Our Story Begins The SAS Training Center wanted to re-create course data for the "Introduction to Programming 1" class. The updated class uses SAS® Studio, a new programming environment that incorporates a UTF-8 SAS session encoding. However, the course data sets contained national language characters, which are not available on an English keyboard ... Read More

Feed: SAS Blogs. Author: Dariusz Jańczuk. In my last blog post, I discussed the features of a customer intelligence solution that enable it to support more coherent marketing. In this post, I consider how customer intelligence can be used to support marketing, from conscious management and monitoring of strategic goals to planning and managing the experience of an individual brand. There are three fundamental areas that I consider to be the pillars of the modern customer intelligence system. Supporting multichannel, multistage customer interactions Customers can make contact with companies through a huge range of channels, including both traditional and digital ... Read More

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: Chuck Powell. Presenting data results in the most informative and compelling manner is part of the role of the data scientist. It's all well and good to master the arcana of some algorithm, to manipulate and master the numbers and bend them to your will to produce a “solution” that is both accurate and useful. But, those activities are typically in pursuit of informing some decision or at least providing information that serves a purpose. So taking those results and making them compelling and understandable by your audience is part of your job! This article will focus ... Read More

Feed: Google Cloud Platform Blog. Author: GCP Team. By Valentin Hamburger, Regional Customer Engineer, Google Cloud Platform Google Stackdriver lets you track your cloud-powered applications with monitoring, logging and diagnostics. Using Stackdriver to monitor Google Cloud Platform (GCP) or Amazon Web Services (AWS) projects has many advantages—you get detailed performance data and can set up tailored alerts. However, we know from our customers that many businesses are bridging cloud and on-premises environments. In these hybrid situations, it’s often necessary to also connect Stackdriver to an on-prem monitoring system. This is especially important if there is already a monitoring process in ... Read More

Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Roshan Kumar. Multi-tenant software is architected to host multiple tenants sharing the same infrastructure. Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, SalesForce, etc. are popular examples of multi-tenancy. Redis Enterprise Cloud, offered by Redis Labs, is also a multi-tenant service with over 500,000 Redis databases sharing the Redis Cloud platform. Redis Enterprise software allows you to create such a multi-tenant environment on-premises or in any infrastructure you control. But why would you need such an environment? If your organization develops a series of in-house applications and microservices, then a multi-tenant environment can save you time and money. Application ... Read More

Feed: Planet PostgreSQL. Recently I have been refining and adding utilities to look after our Perl code.  You might be surprised to learn that as well as 1.3 million or so lines of C code, there are about 30,000 lines of Perl code in our sources. This a sizeable body of code, even if it’s dwarfed by our C code. What does it do? Well, lots of things. It runs some very critical code in building from source, so the code to set up our catalogs is created by some Perl code.  All the new data setup for catalogs is ... Read More

Feed: Planet MySQL; Author: Severalnines; As we saw in the first part of this blog, a strongly consistent database cluster like Galera does not play well with container orchestration tools like Kubernetes or Swarm. We showed you how to deploy Galera and configure process management for Docker, so you retain full control of the behaviour.  This blog post is the continuation of that, we are going to look into operation and maintenance of the cluster. To recap some of the main points from the part 1 of this blog, we deployed a three-node Galera cluster, with ProxySQL and Keepalived on ... Read More
