Database Quotes

“Database Management System [Origin: Data + Latin basus "low, mean, vile, menial, degrading, ounterfeit."] A complex set of interrelational data structures allowing data to be lost in many convenient sequences while retaining a complete record of the logical relations between the missing items.

-- From The Devil's DP Dictionary”
― Stan Kelly Bootle

“I'm an oracle of the past. I can accurately predict up to 1 minute in the future, by thoroughly investigating the last 2 years of your life. Also, I look like an old database – flat and full of useless info.”
― Will Advise, Nothing is here...

“Database schemas are notoriously volatile, extremely concrete, and highly depended on. This is one reason why the interface between OO applications and databases is so difficult to manage, and why schema updates are generally painful.”
― Robert C. Martin, Clean Architecture

“Protecting data is not just about preventing unauthorized access. It also involves ensuring data integrity and availability.”
― Enamul Haque, AI Horizons: Shaping a Better Future Through Responsible Innovation and Human Collaboration

“Database means a tables collected different information, so one site is a result of a collected tables????”
― Deyth Banger

“I’m sure when you run it through the interweb just now, or if you are from a military ship, through your own database – you will see that you have stumbled across a relic of one of those great mysteries of deep space, and probably one of those missing ships people like to write spooky stories about. Well, whatever they wrote, buddy, they got it wrong. You can take it from me.”
― Christina Engela, Space Vacation

“Index design is also a largely iterative process, based on the SQL generated by application designers. However, it is possible to make a sensible start by building indexes that enforce primary key constraints and indexes on known access patterns, such as a person's name. As the application evolves and testing is performed on realistic sizes of data, certain queries will need performance improvements for which building a better index is a good solution.”
― Andrew Holdsworth, Oracle9i Database Performance Planning

“Biological databases impose particular limitations on how biological objects can be related to one another. In other words, the structure of a database predetermines the sorts of biological relationships that can be 'discovered'. To use the language of Bowker and Star, the database 'torques,' or twists, objects into particular conformations with respect to one another. The creation of a database generates a particular and rigid structure of relationships between biological objects, and these relationships guide biologists in thinking about how living systems work. The evolution of GenBank from flat-file to relational to federated database paralleled biologists' moves from gene-centric to alignment-centric to multielement views of biological action.”

“The internet has enabled research that was previously done over the lifetime of a large group of researchers to be done in just a few years by a single person.”
― Steven Magee

“I'd only worked out a few of them myself and was never good at computer calculations. But in light of Candela's achievement and the output of his computer, the notion of a large number of manifolds was no longer abstract or merely an estimate made by a partisan mathematician. It was a fact, and if you have any doubts on the subject, you need to look no further than Candela's published database.”

“Note that there is not a focus on eliminating failures. Systems without failures, although robust, become brittle and fragile. When failures occur, it is more likely that the teams responding will be unprepared, and this could dramatically increase the impact of the incident.”
― Laine Campbell, Database Reliability Engineering: Designing and Operating Resilient Database Systems

“Data is changing the world, but data itself isn't changing, the way we use data is.”
― Leonardo Ciccone, Aws Certified Database Study Guide: Specialty (Dbs-C01) Exam

“DBAs work exactly in the middle of sofware and hardware, between developers and operators and between applications and infrastructure. This position provides DBAs with all sorts of challenges, from a badly written SQL statement from developers to storage bottlenecks, from network latency problem to metadata definition, and from coding database procedures to defining hardware requirements for a new database.”
