Hi, exploring the use of In-Memory Databases. Any feedback if anyone tried using ExaSol? Or any others?

Have not directly used exasol, but sql server 2014 used some of the concepts which I am familiar with, SAP hana is a popular one too which I am familiar with and works to a certain extend, as long as you provide enough disk space.

Anyway I can share a quick compare info, of in-mem db like Greenplum,exasol, sap hana, memsql, through the attached article, exasol comes with its own OS to run on DRAM and wins by a margin looking at the performance, Exasol is a blackbox, so your engineers will be very weary about it, but seems to work per the info so far. Exasol does provide a bunch of jdbc drivers for each load and restore to legacy dbms.

Hi Rahul, Used exasol in 2010 but we switched shortly due to performance and vendor support issues. Sql and Hana works well depending on use case in question.

What is the use-case? Most in-memory databases are either key/value-based or document-based and tend to solve specific needs / augmented by other solutions. Some details if you can share would help.

We are looking into implementing Wecom / Wechat for Work for our chinese employees, however we are having difficulty meeting our basic security requirements for SaaS solutions. Has anyone found a reasonably elegant solution to a) provision users through an IGA tool, b) federate with an SSO platform like Okta and most tricky c) send some form of security audit trail to a SIEM ? Should we be thinking about this through a different paradigm ?

My team supports Data Warehouses and Data Lakes in Azure, AWS and On-Premise.  Is there any software that would allow our data analysts to get access to these data stores through the software itself rather than having to navigate the different nuances of each data technology? Im thinking some software where we could manage security and accessibility in one place while also allowing data analysts to do their job from a single location. Does that make sense?
