Our database motto: Data powers everything that we do!
"Data is the new oil."
Our efficient and lean database philosophy is of great importance in the development of individual software.
It contains a series of principles aimed at developing a high-quality database and working efficiently with it.
Modeling
Data modeling is the process in which the structure and relationships of the data in the database are defined.
A well thought-out and efficient data model is crucial for the performance and scalability of the database. It includes the identification of entities, attributes and relationships as well as the application of normalization techniques to avoid data redundancy.
Careful data modeling lays the foundation for a well-functioning database.
Optimization
Database optimization refers to the process of improving the performance and efficiency of database queries. This includes creating suitable indexes, optimizing queries and fine-tuning the database configuration.
A well-optimized database can improve response times, increase scalability and optimize the use of resources.
It is also important to monitor the database regularly and make adjustments where necessary to ensure optimum performance.
Security
It is important to ensure that the data is protected against unauthorized access, manipulation or loss. This includes the implementation of suitable access controls, encryption techniques and security guidelines.
In addition, we also take into account data protection laws and regulations to ensure that personal data is adequately protected.
The implementation of robust security measures ensures user confidence in the database and protects the integrity of the stored data.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
Define databases as a specialist area
Not only do we have extensive practical experience with relational databases and SQL, we also have in-depth theoretical knowledge and training. We have a deep understanding of the principles and methods of transaction processing, concurrency control/isolation, versioning, indexing, optimization and the mechanisms for data protection and recovery.
We have developed our own methods and sets of rules for building complex information systems, which are based exclusively on the comparatively simple but conceptually strong possibilities of relational databases. Our application logic is fundamentally based on the philosophy of a database and uses its relational capabilities so that a large part of the logic is mapped in the database. This facilitates integration with other applications and enables the use of widespread access technologies.
We are also very familiar with the limitations and potential "pitfalls" in the practical use, scaling and porting of database technologies. We have proven solutions to overcome these challenges or to bridge them with supplementary tools. We are particularly familiar with the special requirements of individual applications, so that we can develop high-performance solutions.
ORCA DB Tech-Stack
Our tech stack for databases based on SQL comprises various components that work together to create efficient and powerful database solutions.
It provides a solid foundation for the development, administration and optimization of database solutions. It enables efficient data processing, scalability and security, while providing developers and administrators with powerful tools to run their applications successfully.
