The Replication Dichotomy: Logical vs Physical Replication
There’s a peculiar habit among some database professionals occasionally to toss logical and physical replication into the same bin. One might as well say socks and shoes are the same because, after all, they both go on your feet, right? But as anyone who’s tried wearing socks in the snow can attest, similarities on the surface can hide a whole universe of differences between logical vs physical replication.
Blurring together logical and physical replication, or neglecting their differences can lead to inefficient data management strategies. Each method has its merits and ideal scenarios of use. Knowing just when to apply each one—understanding their unique roles in the spectrum of data management—helps avoid unnecessary workload, optimizes performance, and ensures data integrity.

Execution Plan Changes in SQL Server: Reasons and Solutions

Each of the execution plan changes in SQL Server has the potential to sway performance dramatically.
Understanding the reasons behind these shifts, and more importantly, how to effectively manage them translates to maintaining optimal performance in SQL Server environments.

Databases in 2025: New Architectures, Smarter AI, and Stronger Security
The year is 2025, and the databases that once seemed so clever have gotten old and cranky. They’re no longer content with sitting there, quietly holding onto rows and columns like good little librarians. Nope. Now they’ve got opinions. They’ve got styles. They’ve got ideas about how to organize themselves, how to spread out across the clouds, how to speak human language, and how to lock the door behind you when you’re done rummaging through their shelves.
The old way of doing things — shoving everything into a single warehouse and hoping for the best — is about as appealing as canned spinach. So, what will we do instead?

From Clustered to Specialized: Types of SQL Indexes and When to Use Them
Considering the sheer volume of data slugging through the digital pipelines, knowing your indexes shou be your bread and butter. Here, we’re slicing through the thick crust of complexity to expose clustered and non-clustered indexes and their cousins.
Why bother? Because we live at the age of instant grafitication. The speed at which you can retrieve data can be the difference between leading and trailing behind. That’s why we will be going through the ins and outs of clustered and non-clustered indexes and their specialized kin. On they way, keep in mind that each type has a role. For every one there is a specific scenario where its purpose becomes the most obvious.
It’s about knowing who to tap for the performance you crave, at precisely the right moment.

Performance Monitor Changes in Version 2024.2—Part I: Online Monitor
Statistics can lie—” The only statistics you can trust are those you falsified yourself” This old adage attributed to Sir Winston Churchill rings especially true if you’re dealing with daily database monitoring. When data is only captured in 15-minute intervals, transient issues that can severely impact performance might slip through the cracks, unnoticed and unaddressed until they’ve already caused significant problems.
In the newest release of the DBPLUS PERFORMANCE MONITOR, we’re extremely excited to show you the solution that the new functionality brings to the table.
