  • Publication number: 20240354290
    Abstract: Systems and methods for secure database schema migration are described. In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include: a processor and a memory, the memory having program instructions that cause the processor to: calculate a first hash of schema objects for a database; compare the calculated first hash of the schema objects with an expected second hash of the schema objects for the database; determine that the schema objects comprise a previous version of the database; and execute scripts to upgrade the schema objects for the database. The program instructions can also cause the processor to: determine that the calculated first hash of the schema objects does not compare with the expected second hash of the schema objects, and determine that the calculated first hash of the schema objects compares with a third hash of the schema objects corresponding to the previous version of the database.

  • Publication number: 20240333517
    Abstract: Systems and methods for validating the authenticity of databases are described. In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include: a processor, and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution, cause the processor to: calculate a first hash of schema objects for a relational database; compare the calculated first hash of the schema objects with an expected second hash of the schema objects for the relational database; determine whether to validate of the relational database based, at least in part, on the comparison; and provide an indication of the determination to a recipient.
