Why are Databases Critical for Small Business Companies? Hear from a Remote DBA Expert

Running a business is a tough task as it deals with a lot of unheard and unexpected challenges that come with the day to day operation. When it comes to building brand value, every business organization will need a full-time access to comprehensive databases that will ease their work. After all, without the proper and relevant information of the attributes that surround the business and determines its success, one cannot think of the strategies. Besides, the execution of a business plan depends on how decked your databases are with relevant and useful information. With proper databases, you can stock yourself with the ability to store, access, and filter important business data that will make you even more efficient, ensuring an optimal performance in the market. For small businesses, setting up databases is critically important, as not only it helps in the growth of the business, but it also magnifies the decision making procedure.  According to the expert panel of authentic sources like RemoteDBA.com, the managers in a business house can identify trends and plan their operations with the help of a robust database. Here are some of the important reasons why your small business needs to be fueled by strong databases for an effective growth and development.

Renders Marketing Information

It goes without saying how important marketing campaigns can be for the success of a business whether it is outlined for promoting a product or a new service. In order to a make a marketing campaign highly successful, you will need proper customer information that will help you in sketching out the plan for your promotional campaign. This is where having equipped with strong databases becomes exceptionally important for a business, as it will help you with storing and retrieving relevant customer and client information. Apart from that, a great database will not only help you in saving the basic details such as email address, but it will also let you sort customer and target audience by gender, age, and region. With such flexibility and ease of information, you can easily target the niche for your specific brand offerings.

Internal Recovery of Information

Your competency in finding data on the important aspects of the business such as transactions, expenses, taxes, and assets shape the critical decision-making policies. For instance, if you are able to keep a list and tracking of your important physical assets in the company such as equipment and machinery along with the computers and vehicles, you can be prepped up to leverage them when required. In short, having an all-around tracking of your business assets will keep you informed of the time to sell it or leverage it for some purpose. With quality databases for your organization, you can easily track how much expenditure is taking place on the supplies, payroll, along with the shipping, and energy cost to name a few.

Timely Note-Taking

After you have established your business in the market and working on your business idea to witness the ideal results, you will need the help of clients and their valuable referrals. Needless to say, you will have a special support team or system set up for taking the queries of your important clients and customers who have been a part of your business through shopping and other means. As more and more clients start reaching out to your customer support team, it becomes important for you to keep a track of the notes regarding their issues and suggestions. If you have to deal with fifty clients a day, making handwritten notes seem to be a viable option, but the same approach becomes unimaginable when you are running your business targeting a large audience base. Saving each and every relevant conversation to the databases provides you with added convenience so that when you need an access to the last conversation you had with a particular client or customer, you can easily get the access to it. The web market is filled with business-friendly remote database software that will help you in creating note entries into the online file of clients.

Helps with Client Retention

No matter what type of business you run or the industry in which you operate extensively, keeping your clients happy with quality service is of utmost important without any doubt. Outfitting your business with a profound database can allow you to facilitate top-notch customer service, which is the key to client retention. Also, keeping your clients satisfied is one of the vital factors that will determine the growth and future of your small business. On top of that, accoutering your organizational operations with a quality database will confer you with the knowledge of the clients that deliver you the most number of businesses along with the ones who have been newly engaged to your brand. Such flexibility and prolonged nature of data will let you connect and interact with the clients to greet them and get their valuable feedback. Carrying a formal business is all good, but you will have to strategically build a more comprehensive relationship with the most valuable clients for ensuring the optimal growth of your company.

More Centralized System

Keeping an effective track of the increasing amount of data that comes with the growing business and developing workforce can become a daunting endeavor. Thanks to the high-grade database systems present in the market, you can centrally administer all your business data. Not only does it provide you with the flexibility to access the data whenever required, but it also enhances your likeliness to achieve greater success.

Easy and Quality Management of HR Matters

As your staff will keep increasing over time, owing to new projects and required efficiency, you will need to monitor more staff records. Leveraging a powerful HR database for this purpose will streamline the task and boost the processing of the data including the payroll, leave, benefits, and working hours and so on.

Conclusion

Databases are meant to make the work easier for small businesses rather than just simply providing information storage and retrieving options. Keep the aforementioned benefits in mind and pick the right database system for your business.   Read the full article

MySQL Backup Strategies and Tools – MinervaDB Webinar

MinervaDB Webinar – MySQL Backup Strategies and Tools  Most often Database Systems outages happen due to user error and it is also the biggest reason for data loss / damage or corruption. In these type of failures, It is application modifying or destroying the data on its own or through a user choice. Hardware failure also contributes to database infrastructure crashes and corruption. To address these sort of data reliability issues, you must recover and restore to the point in time before the corruption occurred. Disaster Recover tools returns the data to its original state at the cost of any other changes that were being made to the data since the point the corruption took place. MinervaDB founder and Principal, hosted a webinar (Thursday, June 18, 2020 – 06:00 PM to 07:00 PM PDT) on MySQL backup strategies and tools addressing the topics below: Proactive MySQL DR – From strategy to execution Building capacity for reliable MySQL DR MySQL DR strategies MySQL Backup tools Managing MySQL DR Ops. for very large databases Testing MySQL Backups Biggest MySQL DR mistakes MySQL DR Best Practices and Checklist You can download the PDF (slides) of webinar here ☛ MinervaDB contacts for MySQL Database Backup and Database Reliability Engineering Services Business Function Contact CONTACT GLOBAL SALES (24*7) (844) 588-7287 (USA) (415) 212-6625 (USA) (415) 650-4682 (USA) (778) 644-0767 (Canada) (778) 770-5251 (Canada) +44 7 480549332 (UK) TOLL FREE PHONE (24*7) (844) 588-7287 MINERVADB FAX +1 (209) 314-2364 MinervaDB Email - General / Sales / Consulting contact@minervadb.com MinervaDB Email - Support support@minervadb.com MinervaDB Email -Remote DBA remotedba@minervadb.com Shiv Iyer Email - Founder and Principal shiv@minervadb.com CORPORATE ADDRESS: CALIFORNIA MinervaDB Inc., 340 S LEMON AVE #9718 WALNUT 91789 CA, US CORPORATE ADDRESS: DELAWARE MinervaDB Inc., PO Box 2093 PHILADELPHIA PIKE #3339 CLAYMONT, DE 19703   The post MySQL Backup Strategies and Tools – MinervaDB Webinar appeared first on The WebScale Database Infrastructure Operations Experts. https://minervadb.com/index.php/2020/06/19/mysql-backup-strategies-and-tools-minervadb-webinar/

MySQL Backup Strategies – Building MySQL DR Solutions

MySQL Backup Strategies – What you should know before considering MySQL DR solutions ?  MySQL powers all the major internet properties, Which include Google, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Uber etc. So how do we plan for MySQL disaster recovery and what are the most common MySQL DR tools used today for building highly reliable database infrastructure operations ? There can be several reasons for a MySQL database outage: hardware failure, power outage, human error, natural disaster etc. We may not be able prevent all the disaster from happening but investing on a robust disaster recovery plan is very important for building fault-tolerant database infrastructure operations on MySQL.  Every MySQL DBA is accountable for developing a disaster recovery plan addressing data sensitivity, data loss tolerance and data security. Functionally you have several database backup strategies available with MySQL: Full backup – Full backup backs up the whole database, This also include transaction log so that the full database can be recovered after a full database backup is restored. Full database backups represent the database at the time the backup finished. Full backups are storage resource intensive and takes more time to finish. If you have for a large database, we strongly recommend to supplement a full database backup with a series of differential database backups. Differential backup – A differential backup is based on the most recent, previous full data backup. A differential backup captures only the data that has changed since that full backup. The full backup upon which a differential backup is based is known as the base of the differential. Full backups, except for copy-only backups, can serve as the base for a series of differential backups, including database backups, partial backups, and file backups. The base backup for a file differential backup can be contained within a full backup, a file backup, or a partial backup. The differential backups are most recommended when the subset of a database is modified more frequently than the rest of the database. Incremental backup – A incremental backup contains all changes to the data since the last backup. Both differential and incremental backup does only backing up changed files. But they differ significantly in how they do it, and how useful the result is.while an incremental backup only includes the data that has changed since the previous backup, a differential backup contains all of the data that has changed since the last full backup. The advantage that differential backup offers over incremental backups is a shorter restore time. Because, the backup has to be reconstituted from the last full backup and all the incremental backups since. MySQL Backup tools The following are the list of MySQL backup tools (logical and physical) discussed in this blog: mysqldump mysqldump is a MySQL client utility which can be used to perform logical backups  , The mysqldump generate output in SQL ( default and most commonly used to reproduce MySQL schema objects and data), CSV, other delimited text or XML format. We have copied below the restrictions of mysqldump: mysqldump does not dump performance_schema or sys schema be default. To enforce dumping or logical backup of any of these schema objects, You have to explicitly mention them –databases option or if you want to just dump performance_schema use –skip-lock-tables option. mysqldump does not dump the INFORMATION_SCHEMA schema. mysqldump does not dump the InnoDB CREATE TABLESPACE statements. mysqldump does not dump the NDB Cluster ndbinfo information database. mysqldump includes statements required to recreate the general_log and slow_query_log tables for dumps of the mysql database. But, Log table contents are not dumped Script to dump all the databases:  shell> mysqldump --all-databases > all_databases.sql Script to dump the entire database: shell> mysqldump db_name > db_name_dump.sql Script to dump several databases with one command: shell> mysqldump --databases db_name1 [db_name2 ...] > databases_dump.sql mysqlpump  The mysqlpump is another client utility for logical backup of MySQL database like mysqldump which is capable of parallel processing of databases and other schema objects with databases to perform high performance dumping process, We listed below mysqlpump most compelling features: MySQL dump with parallel processing capabilities for databases and other objects within databases. MySQL user accounts will be dumped as account-management statements (CREATE USER, GRANT) rather than as inserts into the mysql system database. By using mysqlpump you can create a compressed output. Much faster compared to mysqldump. Because, The InnoDB secondary indexes are created after rows are inserted to the table. P.S. – We have blogged about “How to use mysqlpump for faster MySQL logical backup ? ” here MySQL Enterprise Backup  MySQL Enterprise Backup is a hot / online backup tool for MySQL ( optimized for InnoDB only though capable of backup and restore of tables created on other storage engines supported by MySQL ) capable of performing full, incremental and differential backup. MySQL Enterprise Backup also support cloud storage backup, backup encryption and compression. We have explained most compelling MySQL Enterprise Backup 8.0 features below: Transparent page compression for InnoDB. Backup history available for all members of Group Replication by making sure backup_history table is updated on primary node after each mysqlbackup operation. Storage engine of the mysql.backup_history table on a backed-up server has switched from CSV to InnoDB. mysqlbackup now supports encrypted InnoDB undo logs . mysqlbackup now supports high performance incremental backup by setting page tracking functionality on MySQL (set –incremental=page-track). Much better MySQL Enterprise Backup 8.0 troubleshooting with now mysqlbackup prints a stack trace after being terminated by a signal. Selective restores of tables or schema from full backup for Table-Level Recovery (TLR) Percona XtraBackup  Percona XtraBackup is an open source MySQL hot backup solution from Percona addressing incremental, fast, compressed and secured backup for InnoDB optimally. Most of our customers users Percona XtraBackup for DR of their MySQL infrastructure, The following features makes Percona XtraBackup obvious choice for MySQL Backup and DR: Hot backup solution for InnoDB without blocking / locking transaction processing. Point-in-time recovery for InnoDB. MySQL incremental backup support. Percona XtraBackup supports incremental compressed backups. High performance streaming backup support for InnoDB. Parallel backup and copy-back support for faster backup and restoration. Secondary indexes defragmentation support for InnoDB. Percona XtraBackup support rsync to minimize locking. Track Percona XtraBackup history with Backup history table. Percona XtraBackup supports offline backup. Conclusion We always recommend a combination of multiple backup strategies / tools for maximum data reliability and optimal restoration. We cannot have a common backup strategy for all the customers, It depends on factors like infrastructure, MySQL distribution, database size, SLA etc. Backups are most import components in database infrastructure operations and we follow zero tolerance DR for building highly available and fault-tolerant MySQL infrastructure.
