How can you speed up database read queries
Before getting into the technicalities of speeding up your database read queries, the first step is always to have a clear understanding of what exactly you need. This might sound straightforward, but inefficient queries often begin with uncertainty about the data requirements. Knowing exactly what information is necessary for your application or analysis not only helps in crafting precise queries but also prevents the database from retrieving extraneous information, which can significantly slow down performance.

Data Observability
Too often when looking at the data we see just numbers – columns and rows that might seem meaningful on the surface but lack depth without proper context. Data observability changes this perspective. This approach is about understanding what the numbers really tell us about the health, accuracy, and vitality of our data systems.
Data observability isn’t just one thing – it’s an ability, or rather a way of monitoring your data’s health, accuracy, and overall usefulness. It’s what equips data teams with the essential tools they need in order to make sure that the data that’s driving business decisions is not only there but also high-quality, well-structured, and up-to-date.

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.
