Shared Databases provide a synchronized storage location accessible by multiple concurrent users. Two types of Shared Databases are available in Geneious. Your Geneious license will provide access to set up a standard Shared Database using Direct SQL Connection without additional costs.
What is a development database?
Database Development is the name of a sophisticated process of developing and analyzing requirements and objectives in the form of raw data. It takes a lot of effort and experience to design and develop data operations within the system of a company.
What is shared development?
The Shared development model means that all developers are working on the same database(s). This leaves an option for each developer to make changes on a local copy of a database as much as needed and test those changes locally, before pushing them to a remote repository.
A shared database makes it way too easy to write integration tests instead of unit tests. In fact, shared databases often make it DIFFICULT or IMPOSSIBLE to write unit tests. If it’s remotely difficult for your developers to do The Right Thing, they won’t. We developers are lazy.
In the shared-database-per-service pattern, the same database is shared by several microservices. This pattern does not reduce dependencies between development teams, and introduces runtime coupling because all microservices share the same database.
What is dedicated database?
A Dedicated Database provides a heightened level of data security, flexibility, individual company profiles and customization in your own private database within the iFormBuilder Cloud. It includes access to a robust API that supports both inbound and outbound requests.
Information sharing is vital to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and adults. The decisions about how much information to share, with whom and when, can have a profound impact on individuals’ lives. It could ensure that an individual receives the right services at the right time.
The.Net framework’s data stack of Entity Framework and SQL Server makes it pretty easy to persist a data model. The problem is that developers often reach for it by default so that it becomes a “hammer for every nail”. Take the example of using a shared database to implement a processing queue.
Is it good to have a shared database?
It makes it easy to synchronise data between applications and it utilises technology that everybody can understand. However, if you take a long-term view there’s no real justification for using a shared database to facilitate application integration.
A shared database is a more convenient means of exchanging data than file transfer as it allows for immediate updates and can be used to assert a common data schema. Remote procedure invocation makes it easier to isolate and share functionality though does not eliminate coupling between systems.
The end result is usually a design that is extremely difficult to work with and a melting pot of logic and data that doesn’t have any clear responsibilities. As a shared database becomes entwined in multiple systems it becomes more difficult to make changes without causing regression.
