	Database Development

We have serious experience in SQL database technology and have worked with many other non-SQL database tools as well. Our expertise includes database design, adding new functionality to existing databases, performance tuning, database migration, XML, and more.

Our database systems range from high-performance distributed installations to high-security law enforcement installations; from simple Microsoft Access systems, to high-end SQL Server and open-source SQL solutions. We have worked with most commercial database products in use today.

Database Design

SCW's database design experience includes small desktop databases and massive distributed databases serving tens of thousands of users. We can use our experience to design your database or to consult with your team to make sure your database will have a solid foundation.

We can also performance tune an existing database. Performance tuning is done when the load on a database has increased to the point where the database is no longer as responsive as it should be. We can often find and implement significant improvements that will enable you to squeeze more performance out of your existing database.

Database Migration and Data Conversion

There comes a point where the limiting factor on performance is not the design of the database, but the actual database environment itself. SCW has performed many database "upsize" operations where existing data and functionality is moved from one environment to a higher-performance environment (or from an obsolete database to a supported product). This often involves moving database applications from Access, Filemaker or FoxPro to a server-based SQL solution.

Regardless of your database need, SCW has the experience necessary to help you succeed. Please contact us to request a free initial consultation and estimate on your database project.
