In SQL you can perform a lot of DDL operations, such as creating or renaming tables, creating or removing columns, and more, and these DDL statements are most often used when creating or upgrading your application schema. However, there’s more to transactional DDL than just being able to do large schema updates atomically. Transactional DDL also provides protection against failures. That means that networks can fail, machines can fail, and still, NuoDB will guarantee that all schema modifications are either all applied or nothing is applied. Essentially this means that all operations

While many enterprises are now ready to embrace cloud computing, they’ve struggled to move highly transactional systems of record to the cloud. For enterprises in regulated sectors such as banking and other financial services, there’s been a real challenge as they look for ways to move mission-critical OLTP SQL databases — and the applications that rely on them — to the cloud. Historically, relational SQL databases required single-server architectures, which made scaling

This tutorial will walk you through the whole process of using free Let’s Encrypt certificates in NuoDB. First, we will create certificates using Let’s Encrypt as described in their documentation. Second, we will convert those certificates into various certificate formats that NuoDB processes require. At the end of this tutorial, we will show you what to look for in NuoDB log files and how to use TLS in the various TLS enabled database drivers.

The process of obtaining a
