MySQL joins are used to fetch data from multiple tables. We can call it as a method for fetching records from one or more tables based on some common values in the table.

One of the highlights of PostgreSQL is its versatility, especially when you need a flexible data model. In this post, we’ll explore hstore, PostgreSQL’s simple key-value store, and take a look at how it works using a catalog of books.

Thinking about scaling beyond your Postgres cluster and adding another data store like Redis or Elasticsearch? Before adopting a more complex infrastructure, take a minute and think again. It’s quite possible to get more out of an existing Postgres database

Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) performs real-time I/O encryption and decryption of the data and log files, thereby, protecting data at rest. You can use TDE with Availability Groups to provide security and high availability to your databases.

An important option to be considered during restricting unauthorized access to data is to encrypt data so that even if somebody was able to reach to data it is not discernable by a simple query.

Redis is an open source (BSD licensed), in-memory data structure store, used as a database, cache and message broker. It supports various data structures such as Strings, Hashes, Lists, Sets etc.

Some times SQL DB_log.ldf takes up more server space in GBs to shrink and reduce the size of the log file to less than 15 MB from GB execute the below-mentioned script

Azure Cosmos DB is a fully-managed database service with turnkey global distribution and transparent multi-master replication. You can run globally distributed, low-latency operational and analytics workloads and AI on transactional data within your database.

A brief post about what Firebase is all about, and it’s new NoSQL Database — Cloud Firestore. With a variety of server-side technologies that are on the market today, developers have a tough job of deciding what kind of backend is most suitable for their app.
