AGGREGATE AND TRANSACTIONAL NETWORKED DATABASE QUERY PROCESSING

Abstract:

A hybrid network-based database system for handling OLTP and OLAP queries using decoupled compute and storage devices. A set of decoupled compute instances perform transactions on an OLTP database, and the data is replicated to an OLAP database, which is managed by another set of decoupled compute instances. Further, in response to queries, the database system can retrieve data from the OLTP and OLAP database for merging and processing according to the query.
