A highly regarded start-up company has emerged from with a new type of database design it believes can transform the way this class of software is used by many large companies.
The Anglo-American JustOne Database has developed a product called JustOneDB, which is a PostgreSQL-based database engine. Around this the company has developed a totally new relational database management system (RDBMS) capable of supporting both transactional updates (which is what databases traditionally do) and analytical queries (which is what data warehouses do) in a single piece of software.
Normally these two functions would be separate because, it has been assumed, they have to be. Databases are about servicing transactions, the bread and butter of why databases exist. Warehouses are there for analytics. If the two are to be connected in real time as they would be in inventory and logistics, huge complexity and expense can ensue.
