About IntegrateDatabase

IntegrateDatabase (integratedatabase.com) is an independent site about the architectural side of using a database inside an application: how many environments you run, how schemas drift apart between them, how the data access layer is organised, and how to estimate the effort of a change before you start.

What is here

• Architecture notes on the home page covering environments, schema drift, data access layers, connection pooling and change planning.
• A schema comparison tool that diffs two CREATE TABLE scripts and drafts the statements needed to move from one to the other.
• A migration estimator that turns data volume, object counts and complexity into a rough effort range.
• An article on the role of indexing in application performance.

Who it is for

Developers and technical leads who own both an application and its database and want a structured way to think about change.

What IntegrateDatabase is not

It is not an agency, consultancy or vendor. There are no services, plans or accounts, and the site is not affiliated with any database vendor.
