Friends. Change is here. All of us DBAs are dealing with it. Look at the number of new database platforms. It’s relentless. They just keep coming. And we’re expected to take on any or all of them that’ll save our companies money. But it’s hard, right? Here’s why.
We’re in the midst of a rapid evolution.
And as with any evolution, we’re looking at three morphological possibilities: formation of new species, change within species and loss of species (A.K.A. extinction). If we want to avoid the latter, we’ve got to adapt.
And we’ve got to adapt quickly.
How did humans survive turbulent change and harsh conditions in the past? With invention. With increasingly modernized tools.
From rocks to spears to Foglight®.
