Why Schema Drift Is So Dangerous

One of the most dangerous phrases in enterprise computing is, “It's just a small change.” Anyone who has spent significant time working with databases knows that seemingly minor changes can have far-reaching consequences. Add a column, modify a data type, change a default value, or alter the meaning of an existing field, and you may have introduced a problem that extends well beyond the database where the change originated....

10 Things Every DBA Should Know… But Many Never Learn

After decades of working with databases, I've learned that the hardest DBA lessons rarely come from manuals. They come from production outages, bad access paths, failed recoveries, unexpected growth, and designs somebody thought were "good enough." Experience is expensive. It is always beneficial when you can learn from somebody else's experiences when you can. With that in mind, here are 10 things every DBA should know....

Useful New Book on Data Science and AI

Data Science, Interactive Visualizations, and Generative AI Tools for the Analysis of Qualitative, Mixed-Methods, and Multimodal Evidence by Manuel González Canché is a timely and ambitious examination of how modern data science and AI techniques can be brought into qualitative and mixed-methods research without forcing researchers to become programmers. Published by Elsevier/Morgan Kaufmann in 2026, the book emphasizes a local, no-code approach that makes sophisticated analytical techniques more accessible while maintaining privacy, methodological rigor, and researcher control....

What Does a DBA Really Do? More Than You Might Think!

Ask someone in IT what a database administrator does and you are likely to get a fairly simple answer: “They take care of the database.” Well, yes. But that is a little like saying an airline pilot “takes care of the airplane.” Database administration is one of those disciplines whose complexity is often hidden from everyone except the people actually doing the work....

The 5 Most Expensive Database Mistakes Enterprises Make

After many years of working with enterprise database systems, one thing has become abundantly clear: organizations rarely lose money because of a single catastrophic database failure. More often, they lose it a little at a time through poor design decisions, neglected maintenance, and forgotten best practices. I've reviewed database environments across many different industries including banking, insurance, retail, manufacturing and government agencies....

The Difference Between a “Slow Query” and a “Slow Design”

One of the most common requests a DBA receives is deceptively simple: "Can you tune this slow query?" Sometimes the answer is yes. But just as often, the real problem isn't the SQL statement at all. Sometimes it's the design. Understanding the difference between a slow query and a slow design is one of the most important distinctions a database professional can make....
