New MARIADB Enterprise Products combine SQL and NoSQL

To help database administrators and http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/7155.html > developers more flexibly handle large amounts of data, Skysql launched a mariadb based Enterprise and enterprise cluster products, which are integrated with the NoSQL database.

As mobile devices and cloud service users continue to grow, the amount of data the enterprise is processing is growing rapidly. This situation has changed the need for the database, but also to the NoSQL database opportunities, NoSQL database is very flexible, more than the traditional relational database easier to expand.

But according to Skysql, which provides commercial products based on open source mariadb, it is still important for every business to have SQL databases and the data consistency they provide.

To combine these two areas, this sql-based mariadb Enterprise 2 and Enterprise Cluster 2 consolidates the NoSQL database Apache Cassandra.

Dion Cornett, vice president of sales at Skysql, said the integration of NoSQL was "belated" in its unique function. "Normally, SQL has always been the domain of database administrators, and NoSQL is the domain of developers," he says. This product and the flexibility it offers bridge these two areas. ”

The newly added Cassandra SE (Storage Engine) feature allows access to data in the Cassandra Cluster. After this consolidation, the Cassandra storage volume now looks like a table in mariadb. Users can insert data into these tables and select data from them. Users can also consolidate data stored in MARIADB and Cassandra.

Another message when MARIADB 10 database release, which is the replacement of open source MySQL, but also Enterprise 2 and Enterprise Cluster 2 cornerstone.

The MARIADB Foundation says MARIADB 10 is faster than the previous two versions because of features such as concurrent replication. MARIADB 10 also includes the form of a built-in shared-spider storage engine that allows large data [note] tables to be distributed across multiple servers for better performance and scale.

Companies such as Google and Wikipedia have used mariadb in thousands of databases, Skysql said.

The jump from version 5.5 to version 10 is a great step for mariadb, and the version name is no longer imitated MySQL is now version 5.6. The decision to waive the version number of MySQL, which was taken in 2012, raised some questions.

The purpose of the version number change is to show more clearly the difference between mariadb and MySQL. MARIADB contains similar functionality in MySQL, but it is deployed in a different way, and it contains functionality that MySQL does not have.

Last week, Skysql's MARIADB website posted a comparison of mariadb 10 with MARIADB 5.5 and MySQL 5.6.

The release of the new version of MARIADB Enterprise 2 and Enterprise Cluster 2, and the release of Mariadb 10, is no coincidence. Open source database vendors and users gathered this week at the Percona Live MySQL conference, which kicked off in Tuesday.
