Database In a Nutshell

Databases are systems that store, organize, and manage data to facilitate the efficient retrieval of information. On a website, databases refer to the underlying technology used to manage and store site data. This concise guide offers an overview of how databases work, key terminologies, a comparison between SQL and NoSQL, and guidance on selecting the best database for your web application.

Businesses often require different types of databases for various purposes. Some common types to consider include centralized, cloud, commercial, distributed, end-user, graph, NoSQL, object-oriented, open-source, operational, personal, and relational databases.

Database Features

  • Scalability to consider how much your data is likely to grow and how quickly.
  • Sharding in order to store vast databases across multiple servers and minimize response times for queries.
  • Replication to ensure that the information is available and accurate with data updates or a crash.
  • Latency to evaluate the time it takes for data to travel back and forth between the database server and the application server.
  • Consistency to prevent errors in the database and ensure that any modifications to the database don't make it invalid.
  • Availability to respond quickly to a request even if failures occur, which is important when using databases that are spread across multiple servers.
  • Fault-tolerance to keep functioning even if one or more components fail, thanks to various techniques such as replication or redundancy.

Familiarity with multiple languages, frameworks, and technologies is crucial, as databases interact with various applications. Hence, when you hire a database programmer, ensure they are well-versed in these languages and adaptable to new technologies for your company's growth.

Efficiency in applying diverse Database Management Systems

In data management, a DBMS (Database Management System) is a software application that manages data storage, retrieval, and updating. It provides multi-user access, maintains data integrity, eliminates redundancy, and follows the ACID model for transactions. Popular DBMS software includes Oracle, MySQL, SQLite, Microsoft Access, PostgreSQL, and dBASE.

When hiring a database developer, look for candidates familiar with diverse DBMS systems, ideally proficient in multiple types, to best meet your organization's data needs.

Understanding of database security

To ensure business continuity, it is significant for database developers to have expertise in data protection and security. They should design and implement secure options to maintain data integrity and prevent unauthorized access or theft.

Essential soft skills for database developers

HIPAA-Compliant Database
HIPAA-Compliant Database
What is HIPAA-compliant Database?  A database is an organized collection of structured information controlled by a database management system. To be HIPAA-compliant, the database must follow administrative, physical, and technical safeguards of the HIPAA Security Rule. Often it means limiting access to PHI, as well as safely processing, transmitting, receiving, and encrypting data, plus having a proactively breach mitigation strategy. Administrative, physical, and technical safeguards of the HIPAA Security Rule HIPAA Rules for Database Security If your database contains even a part of PHI, it is covered by the HIPAA Act of 1996 and can attract the attention of auditors. PHI is the information containing any identifiers that link an individual to their health status, the healthcare services they have received, or their payment for healthcare services. The HIPAA Security Rule (the part of HIPAA Act) specifically focuses on protecting electronic PHI. Technical safeguards (the part of HIPAA Security Rule) contain requirements for creating a HIPAA-compliant database. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) covers HIPAA Technical Safeguards for database security in their guidance. The first question that can arise is whether you should use any specific database management system to address the requirements? The answer is absolutely no. The Security Rule is based on the concept of technology neutrality. Therefore, no specific requirements for types of technology are identified. Businesses can determine themselves which technologies are reasonable and appropriate to use. There are many technical security tools, products, and solutions that a company may select. However, the guidance warns that despite the fact that some solutions may be costly, it can’t be the cause of not implementing security measures. "Required" (R) specifications are mandatory measures. "Addressable" (A) specifications may not be implemented if neither the standard measure nor any reasonable alternatives are deemed appropriate (this decision must be well-documented and justified based on the risk assessment). Here are the mandatory and addressable requirements for a HIPAA-compliant database. Mandatory HIPAA Database Security Requirements HIPAA Compliant Database Access Control Database authentication. Verify that a person looking for access to ePHI is the one claimed. Database authorization. Restrict access to PHI according to different roles ensuring that no data or information is made available or disclosed to unauthorized persons. Encrypted PHI PHI must be encrypted both when it is being stored and during transit to ensure that a malicious party cannot access information directly. Unique User IDs You need to distinguish one individual user from another followed by the ability to trace activities performed by each individual within the ePHI database.  Database security logging and monitoring All usage queries and access to PHI must be logged and saved in a separate infrastructure to archive for at least six years.  Database backups Must be created, tested, and securely stored in a separate infrastructure, as well as properly encrypted.  Patching and updating database management software Regular software upgrades, as soon as they are available, to ensure that it’s running the latest tech. ePHI disposal capability Methods of deleting ePHI by trained specialists without the ability to recover it should be implemented. By following the above requirements you create a HIPAA-compliant database. However, it’s not enough. All HIPAA-compliant databases must be settled in a high-security infrastructure (for example, cloud hosting) that itself should be fully HIPAA-compliant. HIPAA-Compliant Database Hosting You need HIPAA-compliant hosting if you want either to store ePHI databases using services of hosting providers, or/and to provide access to such databases from the outside of your organization. Organizations can use cloud services to store or process ePHI, according to U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. HIPAA compliant or HIPAA compliance supported? Most of the time, cloud hosting providers are not HIPAA compliant by default but support HIPAA compliance, which means incorporating all the necessary safeguards to ensure HIPAA requirements can be satisfied. If healthcare business wants to start collaborating with a cloud hosting provider, they have to enter into a contract called a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) to enable a shared security responsibility model, which means that the hosting provider takes some HIPAA responsibility, but not all.  deloitte.com/content/dam/Deloitte/us/Documents/risk/us-hipaa-compliance-in-the-aws-cloud.pdf In other words, it is possible to utilize HIPAA compliance supported services and not be HIPAA compliant. Vendors provide tools to implement HIPAA requirements, but organizations must ensure that they have properly set up technical controls - it's their responsibility only. Cloud misconfigurations can cause an organization to be non-compliant with HIPAA. So, healthcare organizations must: be ensured that the ePHI is encrypted during transit, in use, and at rest; enable data backup and disaster recovery plan to create and maintain retrievable exact copies of ePHI, including secure authorization and authentication  even during times where emergency access to ePHI is needed; implement authentication and authorization mechanisms to protect ePHI from being altered or destroyed in an unauthorized manner as well as include procedures for creating, changing, and safeguarding passwords; implement procedures to monitor log-in attempts and report discrepancies; conduct assessments of potential risks and vulnerabilities to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of ePHI; include auditing capabilities for their database applications so that security specialists can analyze activity logs to discover what data was accessed, who had access, from what IP address, etc. In other words, one needs to track, log, and store data in special locations for extended periods of time. PaaS/DBaaS vs IaaS Database Hosting Solutions Healthcare organizations may use their own on-premise HIPAA-compliant database management solutions or utilize cloud hosting services (sometimes with managed database services) offered by external hosting providers.  Selecting between different hosting options is often selecting between PaaS/DBaaS and IaaS.  For example, Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides Amazon Relational Database Services (Amazon RDS) that not only gives you access to already cloud-deployed MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server or Amazon Aurora relational database management software, but also removes almost all administration tasks (so-called PaaS/DBaaS solution). In turn, Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) services are for those who want to control as much as possible with their database management in the cloud (so-called IaaS solution).  on-Premise vs PaaS/DBaaS vs IaaS Database Hosting Solution PaaS/DBaaS vs IaaS Database Hosting Solution Azure also provides relational database services that are the equivalent of Amazon RDS: Azure SQL Database, Azure Database for MySQL, Azure Database for PostgreSQL, and Azure Database for MariaDB. Other database engines such as SQL Server, Oracle, and MySQL can be deployed using Azure VM Instances (Amazon EC2 equivalent in Azure). Our company is specializing in database development and creates databases for large and smaller amounts of data storage. Belitsoft’s experts will help you prepare a high-level cloud development and cloud migration plan and then perform smooth and professional migration of legacy infrastructure to Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Google Cloud. We also employ experts in delivering easy to manage HIPAA-compliant solutions and technology services for medical businesses of all sizes.

Relational Databases in Healthcare
Relational Databases in Healthcare
Professional Developers mostly use relational databases like PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, and Microsoft SQL Server. https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2022/#most-popular-technologies-database-prof Databases in Healthcare: Zero Downtime and High Security The healthcare industry, like a hospital, it's a 24/7 operation, it's open all year long. Hospitals have thousands of connections to the database and database administrators cannot afford to put the database down. If the database isn't available when a surgeon or doctor is in the operating room and needs to make a decision and they don’t have all the information about the patient anymore, that can have really big consequences. There's a lot of private information in healthcare, and patients are involved. Looking at certain information, like an address or telephone number, should be locked for non-authorized users including… healthcare software developers. So developers must not have patient information in test and dev, they have to use not real but mixed data like names changed to something random, replacing characters, selecting a random record, and stuff like that. Examples of Relational Databases in Healthcare EHR Databases eClinicalWorks sells electronic medical record and practice management software to more than 70,000 healthcare providers in the United States. Their Java-based applications use SQL Server databases.  They moved the database server to an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud (Azure Virtual Machines and Azure Disk Storage). In a typical SQL cluster, the company has two VMs deployed in zone redundancy and one for disaster recovery in a different region to enhance availability and reliability. In total, they use 2,200 Azure virtual machines.  “Every customer gets their own back-end database and is logically separated on the shared infrastructure. This is how we’re able to deploy customers running independently without any commingling of data,” explains Bharat Satyanarayan, Vice President of Technology and Quality Assurance at eClinicalWorks. Claims Databases Consumer Direct Care Network (CDCN) provides different services to tens of thousands of individuals, including claim processing services.   They moved the back-end of their Claim Processing System from an on-premises to a Database as a Service (DBaaS) cloud (followed by rebuilding and rearchitecting to make it cloud-ready).  Using Azure SQL Database, a fully managed relational database service, CDCN can handle 400,000 transactions in billing and payroll a week, and their portal serves 200,000 users.   Health Analytics Databases  Health analytics company Dr Foster helps hospitals and regional care systems understand the factors influencing the quality of care, using Microsoft SQL Server Big Data Clusters.   “We need to be able to access like several hundreds of terabytes of data and that's data for every hospital in England. We need to be able to access it quickly and shape it and make sense of it. SQL allows us to do that with speed and with accuracy and helps us keep it safe,”  says George Bayliffe, Head of Data at Dr Foster. Five different teams work with the data store.  Data engineering team manages data processes to pass usable data to the team of statistical analysts. Team of statistical analysts models the data with AI and machine learning to produce insights.  Application development team builds web apps to present the data to customers.  Consultant group provides custom services (including reporting) to customers.  Operations team is responsible for the security, integrity, and availability of the data across the organization.  “[For one of our clients] we had to deploy our solution to a datacenter in Germany. By replicating the entire environment with Azure Virtual Machines, we can keep this data completely isolated from our network [to maintain data within national borders to satisfy GDPR regulations],”  says George Bayliffe.  Database for Real-time Analytics in Healthcare POCT Science House is a diagnostics company that enables healthcare providers to receive lab reports. It operates 85 labs that produce several thousand patient reports every day for district and community hospitals. Inside the labs, more than 400 automated analyzers identify chemicals and other characteristics in biological samples.  The data from the tests are then compiled into reports to help clinicians quickly identify signs of disease and propose treatments. Plus, the government uses anonymized versions of the data to get a broad view of the nation’s well-being to help plan healthcare policies. The company uses Oracle MySQL HeatWave Database (managed database service) on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to collect data from 400-plus automated analyzers. The integrated HeatWave in-memory query accelerator makes fats dashboard reporting without needing to move the data for analysis.  The medical device manufacturer Bionime provides diabetes patients with a self-monitoring blood glucose system.  Bionime selected Oracle MySQL HeatWave on AWS as a fully managed database service that combines transaction processing with an in-memory query accelerator for a high-performance analytics engine.  Oracle MySQL HeatWave consolidates both transaction processing and queries in one MySQL Database for real-time analytics. It eliminates the need for a separate analytics database and ETL (extract, transform, and load) processes.   Databases for Cloud-based Healthcare SaaS apps Nuance Communications software technology corporation provides primarily SaaS-based speech recognition and transcription healthcare application that is used by more than 500,000 clinicians in 10,000 healthcare organizations globally to capture more than 300 million patient stories each year. The company uses Azure SQL Database with the geo-replication features in two datacenters, so database changes are propagated in real-time from the master database to five read-only database instances across the datacenters to guarantee a recovery point objective (RPO) of five minutes or less. IT Infrastructure of healthcare SaaS Azure Traffic Manager routes traffic to the closest data center based on network response times to provide the optimal user experience without any downtime. Azure Load Balancer routes the request to an available microservice instance deployed as an Azure Virtual Machine and can quickly be horizontally scaled to provide unlimited capacity. And while Azure Virtual Machines provide the raw compute power, Azure Storage is used to provide an access to the file system. Azure Virtual Network in conjunction with Network Security Groups is used to ensure that only authorized personnel has access to patient data. Azure Security Center to manage and monitor individual virtual machines for malware and virus protection.  Clinical Quality Registries IT Infrastructure of Uppsala Clinical Research Center (UCR) UCR's National Quality Registries include treatment and outcome data based on all hospital patients and are used by thousands of doctors, nurses, medical secretaries, and representatives within county councils. A national quality registry contains person-based details relating to a problem, the taken actions, and the results within the health and care services. The registers provide feedback on the work of the healthcare providers and can generate intra-departmental comparisons of the treatments and results, as well as comparisons with other care providers. We are "automatically loading patients' data, both from the primary health and hospital care, into the MySQL database servers," says Kalle Spångberg, Group Director at UCR. The National Quality Registries is based on four MySQL servers. All in all, treatment data from about 1.5 million patients are registered in the Quality Registries. The users of the National Quality Registries record patients, treatments and outcomes. It collects transferred patients' data automatically or through the online Web form.   The data is received by an Apache Web server which, in turn, sends a request to a Tomcat Java Application Server where logic and communication with the MySQL databases are managed. About 20 quality registries are allocated on two MySQL servers, "DBMaster" and "DB-Prod". Every night, the MySQL production database as well as the MySQL redundant slave database sends a batch of data to the analysis server, which produces dynamic reports through the National Quality Registries' online application.
