Index maintenance is a vital part of a database administrator’s job. I have worked for few clients who often face performance issues in SQL Database and don’t have a dedicated DBA. I remember that one of our clients was facing performance issues. I logged in to their server and found that they did not set up any index maintenance jobs; therefore, many indexes were fragmented, causing the problem.

After discussing many features in SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) in order to carry out much richer analytics activities, we are going to discuss another feature in SSAS named Multi-language support for SSAS. In a previous article, we discussed how to create SSAS OLAP Cubes and how to access the OLAP cube using Excel. Further, we discussed how to include hierarchies in SSAS in order to improve the data analysis capabilities. In addition to those features, we discussed how to create perspectives in OLAP Cubes and how to perform management activities in SSAS.

In this article, I am going to discuss Amazon Athena and how we can analyze data stored in S3 using Athena. As you might know, Amazon’s AWS has a lot of services in the field compute, databases, analytics, machine learning, and robotics, one of the most important and popular services is Amazon Athena. By the official definition, “Amazon Athena is an interactive query service that makes it easy to analyze data in Amazon S3 using standard SQL. Athena is serverless, so there is no infrastructure to manage, and you pay only for the queries that you run.”

In our previously published article in this series, we explained how to migrate SQL Server graph tables into Neo4j and why migration could be beneficial. We only mentioned how to migrate node and edge tables, and we did not mention indexes and constraints. This article is an extension of the previous one, where we will explain how to export the supported indexes and constraints from SQL Server to the Neo4j graph database. In addition, all codes are added to the project we already published on GitHub.

Azure SQL Database is an Infrastructure-as-a-Service component for migrating your on-premises SQL Server to cloud infrastructure. We always look for performance, cost, and scaling resources while we plan resources in the cloud. Many times, we do not want our databases running 24*7*365. Suppose you have a development or training database. Your developers work during the daytime on the weekdays. If you deploy an Azure SQL Database, you don’t get an option to stop it. You get charged for it whether you use it actively or not.

In this article, I am going to write about the various ways we can work with JSON data in Python. JSON stands for Java Script Object Notation and has become one of the most important data formats to store and transfer data across various systems. This is due to its easy-to-understand structure and also because it is very lightweight. You can easily write simple and nested data structures using JSON and it can be read by programs as well. In my opinion, JSON is much more human-readable as compared to XML, although both are used to store and transfer data. In modern web applications, by default JSON is being used to transfer information.
