Database Administration

Database Administration is offered by Poised Solutions across a number of database systems, mainly RDBMSs (Relational Database Management Systems), and LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol). Databases form an important part of most organisations. Databases tend to offer multi user access to information and form an effective description of most businesses and organizations. Business information flow and data elements can all be modeled in a database, and the database is often the first port of call when analysing how a business operates and how a business can be improved.

Poised Solutions is mainly a database administrator for PostgreSQL, SQLite and Oracle Databases, though other databases can also be administered by Poised Solutions. Database Administration tends to involve the design of databases, identification of bottlenecks, and the improvement of the performance of databases. Security and encryption can also play a part along with clustering of databases for large datasets. Poised Solutions offers all the above services and is also a SQL Developer, and so, Poised Solutions can design, optimise and implement good database solutions.

Databases can be found everywhere, the reason is quite simple, a program uses data to apply its operations on, the main reason for the program is to manipulate, control and make sense of data. Information is data plus context, and information is what most businesses operate on. Databases aren't often accessed directly, though a developer involved in database development or a database administrator may often use an API (Application Programming Interface) or command line client to access a database. For most users of databases though access is done vie a GUI (Graphical User Interface) or Web Site (or Intranet). Poised Solutions offers GUI Development and Web Development to offer a more controlled interface to database systems.

Database Administration Benefits

Database Administration confers quite a lot of benefits to a database. As the database is central to most organisation the proper care and maintenance of the databases is essential. Beyond maintenance, databases also need to evolve with an organisation, and database administration should be constantly planning new additions and alterations to databases to better match business activity.

The selection of a database is quite important as the database will tend to incorporate features that are specific to a particular database system. Poised Solutions is familiar with a number of database systems, and is a PostgreSQL developer, SQLite Developer, Oracle Developer and Sybase Developer. SQLite deservers a bit more of a mention as it is a slightly different database to the other database systems mentioned. SQLite is often used in embedded systems, as it has a very small footprint and requires very little configuration.
