Avoid challenges and vulnerabilities caused by end of support. Why should you upgrade? Mitigate risks with platform security and compliance There will be no access to critical security updates, opening the potential for business interruptions and loss of data. Upgrade to better cost efficiency Maintaining legacy servers, firewalls, intrusion systems, and other tools can get expensive quickly.

All hours are 8 hours* applicable to the entire solution not per server. 12 hours* 20 hours* THE NEED FOR DATABASE ADMINISTRATION Most applications—especially those that support enterprise processes enable e-commerce, or facilitate collaboration—are database-intensive and demand optimal performance from the database. Applications and database queries may utilize very lean and elegant code, but the structure and configuration of your databases can be a detriment to high performance. There are dozens, sometimes hundreds, of configuration settings that need to be optimally tuned to enhance database performance. When the database is installed, most configuration defaults are applied automatically.

However, since vulnerabilities cannot be completely removed from a system, successful attacks often occur and cause damage to the system. Despite numerous tech- nological advances in both security software and hardware, there are many challenging problems that still limit e®ectiveness and practicality of existing security measures. As Web applications gain popularity in today's world, surviving Database Man- agement System (DBMS) from an attack is becoming even more crucial than before because of the increasingly critical role that DBMS is playing in business/life/mission- critical applications. Although signi¯cant progress has been achieved to protect the DBMS, such as the existing database security techniques (e.g., access control, integrity constraint and failure recovery, etc.,), the buniness/life/mission-critical applications still can be hit due to some new threats towards the back-end DBMS.

  • SQL Database Management Portal
    APPENDIX A SQL Database Management Portal This appendix introduces you to the online SQL Database Management Portal built by Microsoft. It is a web-based application that allows you to design, manage, and monitor your SQL Database instances. Although the current version of the portal does not support all the functions of SQL Server Management Studio, the portal offers some interesting capabilities unique to SQL Database. Launching the Management Portal You can launch the SQL Database Management Portal (SDMP) from the Windows Azure Management Portal. Open a browser and navigate to https://manage.windowsazure.com, and then login with your Live ID. Once logged in, click SQL Databases on the left and click on your database from the list of available databases. This brings up the database dashboard, as seen in Figure A-1. To launch the management portal, click the Manage icon at the bottom. Figure A-1. SQL Database dashboard in Windows Azure Management Portal 257 APPENDIX A N SQL DATABASE MANAGEMENT PORTAL N Note You can also access the SDMP directly from a browser by typing https://sqldatabasename.database. windows.net, where sqldatabasename is the server name of your SQL Database. A new web page opens up that prompts you to log in to your SQL Database server. If you clicked through the Windows Azure Management Portal, the database name will be automatically filled and read-only. If you typed the URL directly in a browser, you will need to enter the database name manually. Enter a user name and password; then click Log on (Figure A-2).

Sometimes you need to fire off an action related to the current database transaction, but only if the transaction success- fully commits. Examples: a Celery task, an email notification, or a cache invalidation. Doing this correctly while accounting for savepoints that might be individually rolled back, closed/dropped connec- tions, and idiosyncrasies of various databases, is non-trivial. Transaction signals just make it easier to do it wrong. django-transaction-hooks does the heavy lifting so you don’t have to. Contents 1 django-transaction-hooks Documentation, Release 0.2.1.dev1 2 Contents CHAPTER 1 Prerequisites django-transaction-hooks supports Django 1.6.x through 1.8.x on Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4. django-transaction-hooks has been merged into Django 1.9 and is now a built-in feature, so this third-party library should not be used with Django 1.9+.

    BIT 4514: Database Technology for Business Fall 2019 Database transactions 1 1 Database transactions • A database transaction is any (possibly multi-step) action that reads from and/or writes to a database – It may consist of a single SQL statement or a collection of related SQL statements ex: Adding a new lunch to the class database – requires two related INSERT statements 2 2 Transactions (cont.) • A successful transaction is one in which all of the SQL statements are completed successfully – A consistent database state is one in which all data integrity constraints are satisfied – A successful transaction changes the database from one consistent state to another 3 3 1 Transaction management • Improper or incomplete transactions can have a devastating effect on database integrity Ex: INSERT only items into the Lunch_item table • If a DBMS supports transaction management, it will roll back an inconsistent database (i.e., the result of an unsuccessful transaction) to a previous consistent state. 4 4 Properties of a transaction • Atomicity • Consistency • Isolation • Durability • Every transaction MUST exhibit these four properties 5 5 Properties of a transaction • Atomicity – The "all or nothing" property – All transaction operations must be completed i.e. a transaction is treated as a single, indivisible, logical unit of work • Consistency – When a transaction is completed, the database must be in a consistent state 6 6 2 Properties of a transaction • Isolation – Data used during the execution of a transaction cannot be used by a second
