Chaos, complexity, curiosity and database systems. A place where research meets industry
Welcome
Passionately curious about Data, Databases and Systems Complexity. Data is ubiquitous, the database universe is dichotomous (structured and unstructured), expanding and complex. Find my Database Research at SQLToolkit.co.uk . Microsoft Data Platform MVP

Database Research Publication
I have been
working on my part time research, at The Open University, for my doctorate for a number of years which
is a study into best practices and procedures used in the management of
database systems.
For the start of any research it is necessary to accurately baseline the field of study. This baseline was created through a worldwide quantitative survey to examine to what extent best practices and procedures were utilised by the database community for the management of database systems. 453 respondents kindly contributed to the survey. Part of this research from the quantitative stage is now published in the Information Systems journal.
An Audio Slides presentation is available introducing the paper http://www.sqltoolkit.co.uk/publications.html
The formal reference:
Holt, V. et al., 2015. The usage of best practices and procedures in the database community. Information Systems, 49, pp.163–181. Available at: http://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0306437914001914
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.is.2014.12.004
