👉 The `db:infection` concept in the context of database management refers to a mechanism used in some database systems, particularly those leveraging Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) or similar paradigms, to detect and manage infections or malicious activities within the database environment. An infection, in this context, can be understood as a security breach or an unauthorized access attempt that compromises the integrity, confidentiality, or availability of the database. The system monitors for suspicious patterns, such as unusual query executions, unexpected data modifications, or attempts to access restricted tables or views. When such an infection is detected, the database can trigger alerts, block the malicious activity, or even isolate the affected components to prevent further damage. This proactive approach helps maintain the security and reliability of the database system.
