Accidental DBA? Here’s What You Need to Know
Are you an Oracle DBA who’s been asked to take on PostgreSQL or SQL Server management? Or maybe you’re a SQL Server DBA now responsible for that crucial Oracle database running your company’s mission-critical app?
Or perhaps you’re a developer who’s been handed the responsibility of managing the very database you’re developing?
And let’s not forget the ever-popular “move everything to the cloud” project.
The reality is, diving into a new database environment takes time and effort. The tools and processes you use for one database may not work for another. You might be managing databases on different hardware, running on various operating systems, or with distinct data structures. Even the SQL language itself can differ slightly across platforms, making it feel like a whole new skill set.
But don’t worry—help is here.
Cross-Platform Tools from Quest
At Quest, we understand the challenges of managing heterogeneous database environments. Our tools are designed to help you navigate the complexities of working across platforms while maintaining the same familiar interfaces and workflows.

Foglight for Databases
Foglight is our premier database performance monitoring tool, and it’s been cross-platform for years. With the introduction of Foglight Cloud, you can now manage all your database environments in the cloud, freeing up valuable hardware resources.
