How Domain Name Services can help Database Recovery in a Disaster
Submitted by TimBruce on Thu, 2009-03-12 22:29Murphy walks among us. You know Murphy, the famous "optimist" who helps make every bad situations even worse? Well, after a disaster has occurred is not the time to figure out how and where you need to recover your data. Sure, we practice (ok, hopefully we practice!) recovering our database(s) from tape or disk. And during our testing we restore it into a test database or, if we’re lucky enough, into a test server. Great, but how does the application connect to the recovered database if we’ve run into a massive hardware (server) failure?
