Abstract

Everyone wants to prevent database downtime by being proactive, but how effective are the common measures such as inspecting logs and analyzing SQL?

To be truly proactive, one must prevent problems, which requires studying and understanding the reasons for downtime.

We have analyzed a selection of emergency issues that we have solved, to better understand what types of problems really occur in production environments. The results are somewhat surprising and will be detailed in this talk.
