NJSQL October Meeting - What’s Effective Database Administration with a Central Repository

Topic: What’s Effective Database Administration with a Central Repository

Topic Summary:

Many database administrative tasks are essentially the same across all the databases and the servers. These include monitoring, capacity planning, policy enforcement, best practice checking, and so on. Many more database administrative tasks are at an aggregate level, requiring data from individual databases across your enterprise. These include various reporting tasks, and investigative tasks that may need to check all or a subset of your databases or servers across the enterprise.

Having a central repository of your databases and servers is absolutely necessary for you to accomplish these tasks in a professional manner. This presentation discusses what you should have in such a repository, how you may pull data together into the repository and keep it up to date, and what problems and tasks you can effectively manage with such a repository.
