With Amazon DocumentDB developers and DBAs can balance availability, read scalability, and latency with five pre-configured consistency levels. The data in an Amazon DocumentDB cluster is accessible just like a MongoDB 3.6 cluster. The CData Software Drivers for MongoDB provide a SQL-like interface to MongoDB data through standards-based drivers. This allows users to see their data in the […]

In this article we look at how to use string functions to concatenate, replace, trim and get substrings in SQL Server, Oracle and PostgreSQL.
It might be DNS is the problem more often in the future. Steve notes the attacks on this system are rising.
Big data plays a key role in promoting both manufacturing and scientific development through industrial digitization and emerging research. Integrating big data demands scalable tools for enabling not only big data ingestion and curation but also efficient large-scale exploration and discovery. There is a solution to scale up to large volumes of data distributed across multiple […]
