Database Support – frequently asked questions
Which database platforms do you support?
Oracle Database, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL and MariaDB, covering administration, performance tuning, high availability, backup and recovery, and migrations.
Can you migrate our database to a new server or platform?
Yes. We plan migrations with pre-checks, a rehearsal in a test or pre-production environment, a timed runbook and a rollback plan before touching production.
Do you offer database health checks?
Yes. A health check reviews configuration, performance, backups, security and capacity, and ends with a prioritised list of recommendations.
