Answer from AI
Several methods are used to ensure the stability of a database on a single server:
- Regularly creating backups for data recovery in case of failures.
- Using transaction logs (write-ahead logging) for rollback or recovery after failures.
- Setting up monitoring and alerts for quick response to issues.
- Applying replication or clustering mechanisms, if possible, to increase fault tolerance.
For example, in a Java application, you can configure automatic database backups using a scheduler and use transactions to maintain data integrity.
