Trends in database management for 2024 have taken several different directions, ranging from cloud-based DBMSs (database management systems) to augmented DBMSs to self-driving DBMSs (which are quite different from self-driving cars). The use of cloud-supported database management systems is one of the most obvious trends. Another broad noteworthy trend is the use of multiple databases. […]
Navigating SQL Server High Availability in Kubernetes for Improved Performance
There’s a compelling rationale for SQL Server not being the easiest pick for Kubernetes containerization initiatives. SQL Server environments are often characterized as formidable entities, known for their substantial scale and tendency to consume a significant portion of budget resources. Furthermore, SQL Server environments: Containers offer substantial potential for enhancing SQL Server’s agility, flexibility, and […]
Fundamentals of Document Databases
A document database (sometimes referred to as a “document store” or a “document-oriented database”), is a NoSQL or non-relational database. However, document databases use an index to associate “keys” with “documents,” making them more efficient at retrieving data. Unlike relational databases, document databases are not structured with a format of rows and columns, but scale […]
Semantic Arts Demo: The Future of Graph Deployment Through the Lens of Cyber Security and Application Development
Download the slides here>> In this session, we will demo three projects/products: The first is a developed Industry Knowledge Graph. IKG is a graph implementation of IBB data. IBB has a detailed comprehensive set of data about how companies and brands compete in the industry. Prior to this project the data was only available in […]
No Database Is Perfect: Applying CAP Theorem to Database Choice
Since its introduction to the marketplace in 2000, the consistency, availability, and partition theorem, or CAP theorem, has been a guiding principle in database management. Computer scientist Eric Brewer presented the CAP theorem in a talk about distributed systems that provide web services. Two MIT professors later proved the theorem. It states that a database can be […]

Semantic Web and AI: Empowering Knowledge Graphs for Smarter Applications
Data is the cornerstone of innovation in today’s highly digital world. However, in its raw state, data isn’t very useful as it lacks meaning and context. This is where the Semantic Web comes in – it provides a framework that imbues data with meaning, allowing machines to understand and process it just as humans do. […]

Key-Value Databases Demystified
In 1966, a DEC PDP-7 computer was delivered to the Massachusetts General Hospital without any programming. The hospital had invested in a computer but had no way to run it. At this time, there was very little in the way of software options, operating systems, or database support. The hospital did, however, have access to […]
