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.
If you are a database developer dealing with several projects, it means you have to handle a number of database management systems simultaneously. And for each of these systems, you need to have a proper set of tools at hand. Moreover, the said set of tools must be complete and flexible enough to follow the evolving project and its current requirements.
Connecting to a PostgreSQL database via ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) drivers allows for greater flexibility regarding the programming languages and tools used to interact with the database. ODBC is a widely supported, platform-independent API that allows for communication between an application and a database management system.
ASP.Net Core is a popular web development framework with many features for building web modern web applications. One of its many great features is the ability to implement health checks to determine the health of APIs, databases, etc. Health checks can help you to know if connections to the database, third-party components, etc., are healthy, degraded, or unhealthy.
Configuring PostgreSQL for remote connections is essential for accessing data from different locations. By default, PostgreSQL only allows connections from the local machine, which can be a limitation in many situations.
To catch up with the rest of the dbForge product line for PostgreSQL, Schema Compare has also received a couple of nice features in the newly released v1.3.
We've got some good news for you today! The extensive compatibility of our database tools became even broader with a good number of cloud services that you can now seamlessly use with dbForge Studio for PostgreSQL and dbForge Studio for MySQL.
