After having decade of experience managing small to large scale and/or varieties of database systems, here is my first trial to come up with the top ten commands of database management !
- Thou shalt always learn database systems strengths and weaknesses
- Thou shalt choose appropriate database to store and process data to empower business
- Thou shalt always build systems to resilience/cope with failures
- Thou shalt implement automated restore procedures to test backups
- Thou shalt always trend and monitor database performance and maitenance metrics
- Thou shalt document and follow database change management procedure
- Thou shalt plan to upgrade database systems in timely manner
- Thou shalt always build tools to automate processes
- Thou shalt implement security policy and processes to secure data
- Thou shalt educate developers to write efficient code against databases
If you have your own 10 commandments list, don’t hesitate to post in comment. Thanks!
