In the ever-evolving world of database management systems, SQL Server and MySQL stand as two of the most popular and widely-used solutions. Both platforms offer robust features and reliable performance, but which one is the right choice for your needs?

We have been talking about different MySQL operators in their guises for quite a while now: along with WHERE condition or SELECT statement, you name it. Now, the time to shine has come for the LIKE conditional operator used to search for patterns in strings with the help of wildcard characters. In this article, we will provide the basic syntax for using LIKE, along with illustrated examples of how to apply it in queries using one of the best MySQL IDEs on the market — dbForge Studio for MySQL.

SQL (Structured Query Language) is a widely-used programming language for managing and manipulating data stored in relational databases. As the need for data analysis and database management continues to grow, an increasing number of job roles demand SQL proficiency. However, grasping SQL queries can be daunting, particularly for novices.

Today, we've got some good news for all users of MySQL and MariaDB databases—we are rolling out a rather big update of our dbForge tools for MySQL with quite a few handy enhancements that will make your routine work faster and easier.

We have already explored the capabilities of the much-hyped ChatGPT in terms of writing SQL JOIN queries and retrieving data from MySQL databases. Now the time has come to take one more step further and scrutinize a more narrow-focused yet crucial topic for database developers—unit testing. We'll see how ChatGPT fares when it comes to writing unit tests for various database objects.

Recently, we've explored the case when dbForge SQL Complete was adopted by a group of SQL developers working under the banner of a tech company and seeking to get their routine coding done faster. Our today's case dwells on the same idea—but the difference is that this time we'll be dealing with a company of a much larger scale.

Database security offers new challenges emerge daily, and you have to pay all your efforts to prevent risks. Reliable protection grounds on a system with several security levels. Let's talk about these levels and practical measures. To start, we'll take one of the most popular database management systems – PostgreSQL.

In this article, we'll give a brief overview of SSH protocol and tunnel, as well as explore how to connect to a MySQL server remotely using the SSH tunnel created with the help of PuTTY, a popular Windows SSH client.

As businesses grow, so do their databases. With the increasing amount of data that needs to be processed, it can become overwhelming to manage multiple databases and execute scripts across all of them. This can lead to errors and inefficiencies, wasting valuable time and resources.

It is always interesting to explore a case where dbForge tools are used in a collaborative process. Take SQL Complete, for instance. It was created to make individual SQL developers exceptionally productive and help them write error-free code much faster.
