"We know where someone is," the site manager explained, "but we don't know what they're actually doing or if they're properly protected."

Technical debt is a concept most IT professionals are familiar with, but too often it is discussed primarily in terms of application code. Yet, databases are equally susceptible to technical debt, and for DBAs, ignoring it can be costly. Over time, shortcuts in design, hasty implementations, and deferred maintenance accumulate. The result is a database environment that becomes increasingly fragile, expensive to manage, and resistant to change.
