Organizations are increasingly turning to low-cost open-source databases – and that trend shows no sign of stopping. But adding new technology platforms like MySQL comes with a steep learning curve, right? Not with the latest member of the Toad® product family. Introducing Toad Edge™. In this tech brief, you’ll see how our powerful tool set for MySQL development and management makes it easy for database developers and DBAs to work with new database platforms. You’ll learn how Toad Edge:

• Simplifies MySQL database development.
• Shortens the learning curve by providing a lightweight, easy-to-use and intuitive IDE.
• Offers OS flexibility by providing a desktop toolset that runs on Windows and Mac OSX.
• Alleviates the risk of vendor lock in.
• Helps ensure code quality and maintainability.
• Supports DevOps workflows with Jenkins Continuous Integration plugin.

What does it take to make your database development as agile as your application development?

The advantages of agile development include shorter time to value, lower risk and greater flexibility. In fact, most application developers already consider agile a mainstream approach. But because databases and applications are different animals, developers have been slower to embrace agile, especially in relational environments.

Life is all about choices. You can choose to muddle through manual tasks, or you can get the e-book on automating agile database development. One choice will slowly drive you nuts, and the other will make you the MVP of your team. Save your sanity. Get this e-book.

• Improve your functional correctness, code quality, code maintainability and application performance.
• Implement the automation components of Toad Development Suite for Oracle.
• Integrate Toad DevOps Toolkit with your continuous integration servers.

Microsoft Systems Center Operations Manager (SCOM) helps IT professionals manage and monitor Windows and Linux systems within an Active Directory farm. SCOM is more a platform than a domain-specific product; its core functionality is to provide overall health alerting of Windows servers and Windows services running on a given server.

Foglight for SQL Server complements SCOM by delivering the predictive performance diagnostics and deep details that DBAs need to really understand and resolve performance issues. This paper shows how.

Many organizations are turning to DevOps to help them succeed in today’s intensely competitive markets. By embracing Database DevOps practices, which emphasize collaboration and communica­tion between development, operations and other functional areas, they can build, test and release software faster and with fewer defects.

Unfortunately, there is often one huge bottleneck in the otherwise agile DevOps workflow: database development. Organizations have been unable to easily integrate database development tasks such as functional testing of Oracle PL/SQL code or schema compare and sync into the DevOps workflow, or to implement scripts to physically deploy database changes. As a result, they have been unable to fully achieve their goals of faster release cycles and reliably high-quality code.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. Download this white paper today and discover:

• What DevOps is (spoiler alert: it’s not just a set of continuous integration and continuous delivery tools)
• The benefits DevOps promises, and the results organizations are already achieving
• How quickly organizations, both large and small, are adopting DevOps
• The three key factors to a successful DevOps program
• Why the ideal solution will enable you to execute key database development tasks within your DevOps workflow, and which specific functionality to look for

DevOps can help deliver new releases faster and with fewer defects. But database development is often excluded. That’s because code testing and reviews would put a huge speedbump in the process. Until now.

In this tech brief, you’ll see how the Quest® Toad® DevOps Toolkit solution enables you to bring Oracle development into your Database DevOps pipeline, making for better and more reliable application deployments.

Discover how the Toad DevOps Toolkit makes it possible to integrate the following database development tasks into the DevOps framework:

• Code reviews
• Script execution
• Database, schema and data compare and sync
• PL/SQL unit testing
