Database systems have become complex—too complex to be run manually as they have in the past. Initiatives critical to corporate growth in the digital economy—artificial intelligence and analytics—require ever-larger volumes of data. Those companies that fail to effectively leverage and deploy their data assets will find themselves falling behind. To address this, data managers are turning to automation and autonomous databases.

These are some of the findings of a new survey of 217 database managers and administrators from the Quest IOUG Database and Technology Community. Respondents represent a range of industries, including financial services, government, technology and healthcare, and company sizes. The survey, conducted by Unisphere Research, a division of Information Today, Inc., in partnership with Oracle, covered a broad sample of company types and sizes.
