Why I Started jayanthkatta.com

-
There comes a moment in life when you realize that learning alone is not enough. You begin to feel the need to capture the journey —to write down what you are discovering, struggling with, building, and becoming. That moment is why jayanthkatta.com exists. This website is not meant to be a perfect collection of polished ideas. It is a living notebook , a place where I document lessons from technology, health, discipline, fatherhood, and long-term thinking. Life moves fast. Ideas appear and disappear like clouds. Writing slows the mind just enough to turn those clouds into something lasting. A Career Built on Curiosity My professional journey began in the world of databases and enterprise systems . Over the years I have worked with technologies like Oracle databases, cloud platforms, and modern data systems. Recently my focus has expanded toward cloud architecture and data engineering —fields that shape how organizations store, process, and learn from massive amounts of data. Technolog...

Life is beautiful

-
Life brings unexpected tragedies that are beyond our control. It's heartbreaking to witness people facing circumstances they never chose. We react with tears and inevitably wonder, "What if that happens to me?" As humans, we naturally focus on the positive and avoid dwelling on such thoughts—and that's healthy. But this perspective has shaped how I approach life: Am I prepared for these scenarios? Are my loved ones protected if something goes wrong? If I were to die, I couldn't be there to tell them to stay strong—they'd have to face that grief alone. But I can give them financial security through proper planning, wills, and trusts. These are tangible ways to care for them even when I'm gone. Beyond that, what else can I control? I don't waste energy worrying about an uncertain past or future. Instead, I choose to spread peace, truly listen to others, and share genuine smiles. I embrace the principle of living fully while letting others do the same. ...

Lock Tables in MariaDB

-
Whether or not you need to lock tables while backing up MariaDB depends on a few factors, including the type of backup you are performing and the tools you are using. If you are performing a full backup , you should lock the tables to ensure that the backup is consistent. This is because a full backup copies all of the data in the database, including any data that is currently being modified by transactions. If you do not lock the tables, it is possible that the backup could contain inconsistent data. If you are performing a differential backup or an incremental backup , you may not need to lock the tables. Differential and incremental backups only copy the data that has changed since the previous backup. This means that the data is already consistent, so there is no need to lock the tables. However, some backup tools may require you to lock the tables, even if you are performing a differential or incremental backup. This is because these tools may need to modify the database in some ...
