How Ansible automation can improve DBA’s life?

By Nicolas Penot | dbi services in the press | No Comments

I like IT automation. I believe automation enables the evolution of IT environments. Indeed, automate your repetitive tasks, and you save time to work on jobs that matter, on tasks that increase the value of your IT ecosystem exponentially. It also makes your day-to-day workload more interesting: learn, code, test, automate and learn something new.

Understanding Oracle Database Performance

Article by Jérôme Dubar

You can find numerous sources on Oracle Database Performance and Tuning on the internet and also a lot of books focusing on that. There is a lot of things to talk about, and you can spend days and days to learn how it works and what can be done. But it’s a hard work and when performance troubles occur, you need to be fast and effective. This is my approach to understand why an Oracle Database is not so performant and elaborate an action plan to improve performance.

Exploring SQL Server on Linux – Data Dance

By Microsoft Team | dbi services in the press | No Comments

Admin Magazine, issue 48, by David Barbarin: On November 16, 2016, Microsoft announced the beginning of a new story: SQL Server is now supported on Linux and Docker. Of course, Microsoft emerged long ago from its anti-Linux “dark age,” and they have been moving steadily toward more support for open source since releasing the first pieces of .NET to open source in 2006.

Since Satya Nadella took over as CEO in 2014, the pace of change has accelerated. Microsoft is now a Platinum sponsor of several open source foundations, including the famous Linux Foundation and the MariaDB Foundation, and the Azure cloud platform now comes with support for a number of important open source services and tools.

From Transportable Tablespaces to Pluggable Databases

By | dbi services in the press | No Comments

Oracle Scene Winter 2017, issue 66, by Franck Pachot: Transporting data physically is faster and more predictable than a logical export / import. Therefore, it should be preferred for migration of large databases when possible. However, you may need more flexibility than that offered by Data Pump when moving a subset, or changing the version or platform.

Weblogic Server 12c RESTful Management Interface Usage for Monitoring Domains

By Pascal Brand | dbi services in the press | No Comments

Oracle Scene Winter 2017, issue 66, by Pascal Brand : WebLogic 12.2.1 provides a new REST management interface with full access to all WebLogic Server resources. This interface offers an alternative to WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST) scripting or Java Management Extensions (JMX) developments for management and monitoring of WebLogic Domains. Because these RESTful queries are URLs, they can be integrated quickly with little development in all the monitoring tools supporting HTTP requests such as Nagios or others written in Java, for example. The usage of those RESTful HTTP requests simplifies the monitoring of a WebLogic Domain. This article describes the usage of the RESTful interface from the monitoring point of view and describes two monitoring tools and the RESTful implementations.
