Here\u2019s everything you need to know.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-preface\">Preface<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It would be an educated guess that you spend a lot of time solving database problems \u2013 hopefully, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.red-gate.com\/simple-talk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the Simple-Talk blog<\/a> helps you solve more than a couple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, if you ask yourself or anyone around you how best to solve database problems, you will receive a couple of answers. Many of them will sound like this:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"block-core-list\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>I use StackOverflow\/StackExchange for DBAs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I read articles on database performance and other sorts of things on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.red-gate.com\/simple-talk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Redgate<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/breachdirectory.com\/blog\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BreachDirectory.com<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/percona.com\/blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Percona<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/dbvis.com\/thetable\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DbVisualizer<\/a>, and other vendors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I ask my university lecturer or my colleagues at work.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Hacking-MySQL-Breaking-Optimizing-Securing\/dp\/B0DFGK483D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">I read books<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I attend conferences, workshops, and other gatherings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>These sorts of answers are particularly interesting because they tell us that developers can rely not only on themselves and their colleagues but also on the expertise of others using readily available forums and blogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from blogs, some other things that are readily available include conferences: some are better and some are worse, but we\u2018d be hard-pressed to find anyone in the database or software industries that haven\u2018t attended one in their career. <a href=\"https:\/\/dbfrontiers.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Database Frontiers<\/a> is one of those conferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-introducing-database-frontiers\">Introducing Database Frontiers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Database Frontiers, or DBFrontiers for short, is an online database conference being organized by <a href=\"https:\/\/vettabase.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vettabase<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/breachdirectory.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BreachDirectory.com<\/a> and coming your way come October 15th, 2025. The conference can be found at DBFrontiers.net, it is organized online, and it\u2018s bringing the brightest minds from the database world to explore multiple database technologies and platforms \u2013 it\u2018s all free too. This year, you can expect the following:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"block-core-list\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A comprehensive look at the database ecosystem in 2025.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Discussions about the hottest database issues and solutions to those problems.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Real-world strategies for improving the performance of your SQL queries as well as achieving more in the availability or security realms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Speakers exploring the internals of search engines, big data, AI in your database management systems, and more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Find Database Frontiers at DBFrontiers.net and if you\u2018re interested, make sure to register today as seats are limited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-get-involved\">Get Involved<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Registering to attend the conference isn\u2018t the only way to get involved in Database Frontiers: we also accept <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSeYRsRykLT3b8QAlvnXn4BKX3qNfAhXh3HY-vqU3frtXp0A1A\/viewform\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">submissions to speak<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSdjACdeQ9ODVkoaYhmcQO-0vNM5R6yq5r631v7S3u3_lrieIQ\/viewform\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sponsor the conference<\/a>.
