SQL coding can be a Wild West in multi-database environments.
Consider Ivana who has her hands full working in a tech startup. She’s the go-to person for all things database-related. Her company is using WordPress for their blog. So, MySQL will be the first thing in mind. Then, they acquired a SQL Server-based accounting package for their money-related stuff. Finally, they’re using a PostgreSQL-based CRM for their product sales.
Imagine coding from all these platforms for custom reporting, analysis, and more. You could see Ivana scratching her head during a stressful day. The chaos of the wrong syntax makes her pull her hair when the engine throws an error. How about using GETDATE() in PostgreSQL? And CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE in SQL Server? It never ends there.
She’s mixing stuff from different SQL flavors, and it’s making her crazy. Her integration job just can’t be easier.
So, she needs to be an expert “speaking” all these SQL languages to be productive.
Did you find yourself in the same boat?
You’re not alone. According to the State of the Database Landscape 2024 survey, a whopping 79% of organizations are now rocking two or more database platforms. That’s a big leap from 62% back in 2000!
So, it’s more crucial than ever to embrace multi-database environments. SQL coding is one part of it. And becoming efficient in coding is now a goal for database professionals to stay in the game.
But fear not. This post will give you what you need to up your game in SQL coding: https://www.toolify.ai/ai-news/how-to-boost-your-sql-coding-efficiency-in-a-multidatabase-environment-3146620
