Heterogeneous database management

For some enterprise customers, the coexistence of commercial databases, open source databases, and information innovation databases has become the new normal. With the increase in the variety of databases and the scale of deployment, the complexity of management is rising dramatically, which seriously challenges the technical capabilities of enterprises. Faced with the unified management requirements of existing databases and incremental databases, Ape Data has launched a heterogeneous database management solution to help enterprises reduce O&M pressure and reduce the risk of failure.

Problem scenarios

Permissions management is chaotic

Most enterprises manage user permissions directly through the database client. With the passage of time and personnel changes, the relationship between authority and personnel has become increasingly confusing and unclear. Once the unauthorized operation causes adverse effects, it is difficult for enterprises to quickly locate the responsible person and the root cause of the problem.

Fault location is slow

Inefficient fault location is a common problem faced by enterprises, which is mainly manifested in the long time from fault discovery to root cause. When the monitoring system sends an alarm, it takes a lot of time for the operations team to confirm the scope of the problem. Database problems, on the other hand, are more complex and may involve multiple levels such as network, storage, and database kernels. In addition, fault diagnosis relies heavily on manual experience, lacking automation tools and standardized process support, which further lengthens the fault handling time and increases the risk of business loss.

SQL optimization is difficult

SQL optimization is the core part of database performance tuning, which often consumes a lot of O&M manpower. The current tuning method is mainly manual trial and error, and DBAs need to repeatedly try different optimization schemes, which is inefficient. In addition, there are significant differences in the optimization mechanisms of different database types, and DBAs must have a deep understanding of the characteristics of the optimizer in order to formulate effective optimization strategies, which virtually raises the technical threshold. In addition, enterprises generally lack effective slow query monitoring tools to detect SQL performance problems in a timely manner, resulting in many performance hazards affecting the business before being discovered.

Solution comparison

To solve the problem of database operation and maintenance control, there are generally the following technical solutions

Procurement of database O&M services

Enterprises can purchase man-days to meet their database O&M requirements. The services include architecture consulting, data backup, performance tuning, data migration, system inspection, etc. For domestic database products, enterprises generally purchase remote services or on-site services from the original factory; For overseas business databases, enterprises usually purchase third-party services.

Purchase original database O&M tools

Enterprises purchase O&M management tools provided by database vendors. In general, the original tool supports only one type of database product, and has complete database deployment, backup and restoration, monitoring and alarming, database and table management, performance optimization, data migration, daily inspection, and other functions.

Self-developed database O&M management system

The company independently develops a database operation and maintenance management system. Self-developed systems generally support a variety of database products, with database management, cluster inspection, link monitoring, SQL audit, cross-cluster synchronization and other capabilities, and integrate various internal systems to meet the needs of personalized management.

Purchase third-party database management software

Enterprises purchase database O&M management products that are not provided by the original database manufacturer. Such products generally support a variety of database products, and usually focus on standardized function implementation and intelligent user experience.
