Things That Smart Database Developers Do (and Others Don’t)

There are two kinds of database developers. The first ones split data out into a related table, only when there is a need to. The others, they do it blindly and commit what it is known as improper normalisation. The first ones, well, call them smart, if you may, do a lot of other things, including:

·        Keeping up with the times

Those who keep tabs on what’s going on probably know that the days of stored procedure overuse are long passé. The procedures are not deemed necessary anymore, and guess what; some database developers even consider them to be a maintenance disaster. They stay away from these procedures for as long as possible.

·        Using whatever’s better (for the database)

 For starters, they prefer “soft deletes” over the hard ones so that data, if deleted by mistake, can be easily retrieved. They realise that in some situations (like when you need not restore the database to a server), using “hard deletes” may be an option, but they try and keep the usage to a minimum.

·        Enhancing productivity

Developers who know database development inside out can always take advantage of both MySQL and MS SQL and come up with a solution that enhances your workforce’s productivity and gives a boost to the operational efficiency as well. 

·        Giving you options 

When you hire experts for database development Sydney, they let you choose between:

            a)      Customised and open-source databases

                  b)      Options that fall within your budget and the ones that don’t
