Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is stable.""The most valuable feature is automation.""The additional value of having Java inside the Oracle database is all the security that is applied to an Oracle database will be enforced on Java's stored procedures as well.""Able to write queries more efficiently and the management of data has become better and easier.""There have been no issues in relation to stability. We've never really had do to any recoveries. It is very stable.""It's very clever.""It has a programming language so anything that we require for Selenium is all available there."

"The column-based technologies (basically all the database for ITP) are used for SAP IQ. It is used as a column-based solution.""The primary benefit of SAP IQ is its ability to limit the expansion of the costly SAP HANA database, which has limited storage capacity. This necessitates a form of data management that involves moving data from SAP HANA to SAP NLS, which is essentially archiving. This allows us to retain access to the data via a link whenever it is required.""Unbeatable speed and compression with a colummn-structured relational database.""Valuable features for us include the compression, speed, fast response time, and easy object maintenance.""Columnar storage allows high compression, high load rates and high query performance.""It is very robust for ad hoc DW queries and its columnar compression is unique and valuable."

Cons
"The solution could be more user-friendly.""The solution should continue to keep updating and improving the Java language.""Needs improvement in consistency issues with respect to timeframes.""In terms of improvement, I'd like an automation tool that is lower priced. The core prices are very high.""It'll be better if Oracle Java supports open source technologies, like Node.js.""The biggest lesson that I have learned from using Oracle products is vendor lock-in."

"Multiplex is very problematic. There are consistency problems in the metadata, meaning it is possible to lose metadata consistency. You should make sure you have healthy backups.""The organization who owns the product does not support it well and appears not to be doing significant development for the future.""I think the universe should be part of the Sybase IQ tool set.""Concurrency and functional error messaging.""The solution works best when combined with other SAP solutions. If the environment has other systems other options might be better.""The room for improvement would be the marketing of the product, because this product is much better than advertised."

    Overview

    Java DB is a relational database management system (RDBMS). Data is stored and queried via SQL or JDBC. Like other RDBMSs, Java DB can also be accessed through a persistence layer such as JPA, Hibernate, or JDO. Java objects can be stored in the columns of Java DB tables.

    SAP® IQ software delivers speed and power for extreme-scale enterprise data warehousing and analytics. Its column-oriented, grid-based massively parallel processing (MPP) architecture and patented data compression and indexing technologies enable companies to exploit the value of huge amounts of data at the speed of business.
