One of many things SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Oracle have in common is that they store data in multiple tables related to each other with a common key value. This means you cannot avoid retrieving records from two or more tables based on some condition while working with these relational databases. In SQL, this can be easily achieved with the help of JOINs.

Databases are essential for storing data and providing user access to specific information. This fundamental task becomes increasingly complex as databases expand, data volumes swell, and data processing times lengthen. For quick and efficient data retrieval from large databases, we use indexes. An SQL index functions similarly to an index in a book or journal, referring to data within tables. This article will explore SQL indexes, enhancing your understanding of database management.

This is a guest post from Mri Pandit. With the rise in the quantity and the complexity of data organizations now need to handle, the nature of the data that you store is driving the reason for your database platform of choice. Sometimes you have a mix of data, where some is relational and some is heterogeneous, which cannot be contained in a relational format.

Excel remains one of the most versatile tools in the business and academia, allowing users to manage data most efficiently. However, its built-in features can sometimes fall short for more specialized, narrow-focused tasks. This is where Excel add-ins come into play. Whether you’re analyzing large data sets, managing financial records, or visualizing complex information, the right add-ins can transform Excel into a more powerful tool, far better tailored to your needs.

Before we discuss how to migrate from Oracle to SQL Server, let us understand what data migration is and when it may be used. This process involves exporting data from the source location, modifying if needed, and then transferring it to a destination location. In other words, data migration is moving data between database objects or servers.
