As the year draws to a close, we here at DATAVERSITY have an annual tradition of digging deep into our data and reflecting on the hits and misses. What was the most popular Data Management content on dataversity.net and our training center over the past 12 months? Which core topics did you – our data […]
What Is a Data Catalog? Types, Benefits, Uses
A data catalog inventories and makes critical datasets available through metadata management. This platform informs businesspeople about what dataset assets exist and are related, where to find them, when they appeared, who created them, and how to access them, among other insights. As centralized repositories, data catalogs aim to be relevant to users across an organization, […]
Database Management Trends in 2024
Trends in database management for 2024 have taken several different directions, ranging from cloud-based DBMSs (database management systems) to augmented DBMSs to self-driving DBMSs (which are quite different from self-driving cars). The use of cloud-supported database management systems is one of the most obvious trends. Another broad noteworthy trend is the use of multiple databases. […]
Navigating SQL Server High Availability in Kubernetes for Improved Performance
There’s a compelling rationale for SQL Server not being the easiest pick for Kubernetes containerization initiatives. SQL Server environments are often characterized as formidable entities, known for their substantial scale and tendency to consume a significant portion of budget resources. Furthermore, SQL Server environments: Containers offer substantial potential for enhancing SQL Server’s agility, flexibility, and […]
Fundamentals of Document Databases
A document database (sometimes referred to as a “document store” or a “document-oriented database”), is a NoSQL or non-relational database. However, document databases use an index to associate “keys” with “documents,” making them more efficient at retrieving data. Unlike relational databases, document databases are not structured with a format of rows and columns, but scale […]

No Database Is Perfect: Applying CAP Theorem to Database Choice
Since its introduction to the marketplace in 2000, the consistency, availability, and partition theorem, or CAP theorem, has been a guiding principle in database management. Computer scientist Eric Brewer presented the CAP theorem in a talk about distributed systems that provide web services. Two MIT professors later proved the theorem. It states that a database can be […]

Semantic Web and AI: Empowering Knowledge Graphs for Smarter Applications
Data is the cornerstone of innovation in today’s highly digital world. However, in its raw state, data isn’t very useful as it lacks meaning and context. This is where the Semantic Web comes in – it provides a framework that imbues data with meaning, allowing machines to understand and process it just as humans do. […]
