In the world of IT, perhaps nothing is more exciting than the introduction of new technologies and approaches to the way data is managed. With the growth of cloud computing and associated storage technologies, social media, electronics, and other hot new technologies, companies continue to have access to an abundance of new data types.

These developments have led to new ways of thinking about data and how to effectively manage the data and the DBA role is key to getting keeping the database running with performance and predictability. With the expectation to be able to ‘do more with less’ in database environments that are constantly changing due to mergers and acquisitions, employee turnover and new technologies, DBA’s and other data professionals need to be armed with the best tools.

The Performance Game Changer- Performance IQ

Many DBMS performance products provide comprehensive metrics on the performance of a database. However simply showing database performance metrics is no longer good enough. Performance IQ (available for both DBArtisan 2016 and Rapid SQL 2016) determines the underlying cause of the performance degradation as shown by the metric and visually highlights the root cause of the condition for all major areas of DBMS performance. Results and analytics are available for both current and historical time periods and are integrated seamlessly across classic DB Artisan and Rapid SQL features that you already use. Performance IQ is licensed by active monitored DBMS instance and plugs directly into the DB Team Server that is included with DBArtisan and Rapid SQL 2016.

SQL Analytics

Deep insight and on the fly performance tool tips on how cardinality or data skew may affect the variability in performance of a SQL statement, traveling back in time to see performance metrics, or analyzing database alerts for root-cause impacts.

SQL Performance Optimization - Write Better Performing SQL

There are many SQL editors which help a user to write SQL more rapidly, however using the new SQL Performance Optimization technology both DBArtisan 2016 and RapidSQL 2016 in both unique and groundbreaking in that it helps the user to write more performant SQL such that the user is made more aware of:

• On the fly “actual data” performances tools tips • Cardinality (uniqueness of the data in the various columns) • Data skew (variances in the uniqueness of the data in one or more columns) • Missing Indexes • Existing indexes which could be brought into play • SQL syntax adjustments which will improve performance

Wait based Monitoring & Alerting

Wait-based observations to help DBAs proactively understand and manage database environments. This includes time travel to allow them to rapidly travel back in time to dissect issues as they occurred, as well as baselines to more fully understand deviations from the normal trends. User configurable alerting so there are no surprises

DB Team Server has now been added as a base feature to DBArtisan and Rapid SQL. This game-changing capability adds team-enabled capabilities to further promote sharing, increased visibility and improved productivity.

Gain Vital insights with Centralized Database inventories

DB Team Server provides simplified inventory management across all database platforms. It gives DBAs instant insights into key operational information including versions, data size and data growth trends. Powerful search capabilities can aggregate information across database platforms highlighting utilization statistics and data volumes. Data sources can be tagged with additional metadata to yield deeper insights across business & operational metrics.

Streamline Communication, and Improve Knowledge Sharing

Boost team productivity and performance with easy access to specialized scripts, notes and solutions. Collaborative activity streams can be monitored to increase team awareness and accelerate knowledge sharing. Organizations with heterogeneous database environments can further benefit with reducing the learning curve and error rates of DBAs who may be less familiar with specific database platforms.

Simplify Basic Health Monitoring & Notifications

Proactively manage the basic health of enterprise databases from one centralized location. DB Team Server gives DBA teams the ability to quickly detect issues with availability, performance and storage. Alert notifications can be configured to instantly alert specific personnel when an issue arises.
