Explained – Benefits of Migrating Databases from SQL Server to S3

Image
  Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) is a cloud-based data warehouse that provides all the cutting-edge benefits of the cloud environment. Users moving databases from on-premises SQL Server to S3 get all the benefits inherent in the cloud. Some of them are very critical for optimally running databases, such as cost-effectiveness, increased computing power, unlimited storage options, and seamless database recovery in case of a crash or outage. Benefits of Moving Databases from SQL Server to S3   Gien below are some of the cutting-edge benefits of moving databases from SQL Server to S3.     # Cost-effective data storage: With S3, users get access to various levels of data storage at proportionate rates. For instance, data based on access patterns can be loaded to lower-cost storage sections with S3 Storage Class Analysis, with data transfer executed through the S3 Lifecycle policy.  # S3 offers unlimited and scalable storage options: In the event of a spike in s...

Why Should You Move Data From SAP To Snowflake

Image
While SAP is an optimized data storage repository and database management system, concerns have recently been raised about delays in its systems due to its transactional nature. Other issues have been about who gets to access data stored in SAP and which non-transactional applications should be completely out of bounds to all.  A solution to these issues is to move SAP data to data warehouses, preferably cloud-based, thereby ensuring that data can be stored in different ways and locations. The best in this regard is to move databases from SAP to Snowflake, due to the many benefits of Snowflake, a cloud-based data warehousing system.  Benefits Of SAP To Snowflake Data Migration There are many benefits of moving databases from SAP to Snowflake. Due to the easy-to-use structure of Snowflake, SAP customers get actionable and accessible data in one place. It is thus easy for organizations to follow FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable) principles.   Snowfl...

The Evolution of Oracle Change Data Capture

Image
  Let us start by understanding the concept behind Oracle Change Data Capture.  Change Data Capture (CDC) is a software pattern that tracks all changes made to the source database, which can then be monitored and action taken based on the records of these changes. With CDC, users integrate data by identifying, capturing, and delivering changes made to a source business database.   The Oracle Change Data Capture feature was introduced with the 9i version out of the box. Its goal was to track and record changes made to databases in user tables that were then stored in change tables. These changes were then processed and moved to databases and data warehouses by the Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) application.  However, this technology was not well-received by DBAs as it adversely impacted the performance of databases. This was because triggers were placed in the source database that were set off whenever a change was tracked, a complex process that required re...
