The vast majority of IT professionals admit that they manage different versions of the same database, and 74.4% run into issues with their current data warehouses, according to a survey conducted by Propeller Insights.

More than half of those surveyed said that hiring and retaining IT professionals to manage their databases is the biggest database-related challenge their organizations face, and more than a third said that they plan to replace their current database solution in the next quarter or two.

Many organizations also manage different versions of the same database.

A whopping 81.7% of IT professionals said that their organizations manage different versions of the same databases.

Of this group, 42.5% said that they manage two versions of the same database, and more than a tenth said they manage more than five versions.

Nearly all of the IT professionals who said that they use a Cockroach or Snowflake database said they also use a back-up database to cover all of their data needs.
