IT infrastructure is the heart of your digital business and connects every area – physical and virtual servers, storage, databases, networks, cloud services. This shift requires infrastructure monitoring to ensure all your components work together across applications, operating systems, storage, servers, virtualization, and more.

Odds are you are not using a column named Master_tls_ciphersuites , but what about Rank , System , Skip , or Lead ? Those are a lot more common and may be in your table definitions, so your upgrade process will be harder. Instead, the server informs you that you have a syntax error. So what happens if I use a reserved word?

Previously I’ve talked about why logging is required and the architecture and circular nature of the log, so now it’s time to look at the real heart of the logging system—the log records themselves. The simplest definition of a log record: it describes a single change to a database. What Are Log Records? Log Record Types.

The data is internally inconsistent because the server concurrently modifies the data files while they are being copied. The changes done by an uncommitted transaction can be flushed or written to the redo log by the server. So, given a table_id, how do you get the table schema/definition? For that, we have to use undo logs.
