The administration of databaseA database is an organized set of information that allows you to store, Manage and retrieve data efficiently. Used in various applications, from enterprise systems to online platforms, Databases can be relational or non-relational. Proper design is critical to optimizing performance and ensuring information integrity, thus facilitating informed decision-making in different contexts.... Era, until very recently, a routine job, ordinary, in which there was no room for great surprises. First came the network database and then the relational database (RDBMS) that, even though it was a revolution at the time, nothing compared to what would come next. There wasn't much more variety, with the exception of some databases designed to cover market niches., until the great diversification arrived.

The users, in database administration, they realized that their needs exceeded their means. The databases could not keep up with the data growth rate since they were not built with scalable architectures..
They began to be replaced by new versions, better adapted to the variety, volume and speed of data and its user consumption., at the same time that Hadoop and its ecosystem arrived, much cheaper and practically as effective. Y, This adoption of a new wave of databases made the heads of the institutions of the critical relevance of achieving good governance.
Data governance and new database administration
Today's databases are characterized by their heterogeneity and, To provide the service required by the user in the administration of their database, you need a government job behind that ensures that the information is ready for consumption., Or what is the same, in sufficient conditions of:
- Integration
- Quality
- Update
- Availability
- Security
For this, Data governance has to work on the following six lines:
- Database design: This must respond to the needs of the user and be appropriate for the type of data to be stored and available for commercial inquiries..
- Database implementation: The policies and rules that are issued must also have the objective of facilitating the correct implementation of the database, in such a way that unjustified latencies are avoided and possible future problems derived from an incorrect procedure are avoided.
- Backup and recovery: it is essential that the database administration unaffected by loss of information and, for this purpose, data governance must work to ensure logs can be recovered after a crash or system crash.
- Performance optimization: Business agility cannot be compromised by aspects related to the database administration. Technology must be put at the service of government to drive performance.
- Archiving and debugging: About, It should be noted that today there are many areas to consider associated with the emerging uses of data or the new and diverse sources of information that promote new needs for governance and active data management.
- Technology management: the management of external data or the appearance of mobile platforms are some examples of the novelties to which governance data must address to ensure that the database administration occurs in the right conditions.
