Several comments recognize this “it has potential to be used for both for transaction processing as well analytical queries.”īut a couple of comments seem to reflect a view of SingleStore as an in-memory database (only) “Excellent in-memory option for high-powered data analysis,” says one. SingleStore is also unusual in its ability to handle both transactions and analytics, while replacing slow and complex extract, transform, and load (ETL) processes with easy-to-use SingleStore Pipelines. But it’s harder to understand how it works than with some single-server relational databases. So SingleStore is easy to use, compared to the big-data alternatives. The point here is that, when dealing with large volumes of data, SingleStore eliminates the need to shard your own database, or to buy in a complex and expensive solution such as Oracle Exadata, when capacity demands outstrip what can be handled on a single server. The commenters are, indeed, talking about the same database. (Not only do both databases use SQL, but SingleStore directly supports the MySQL wire protocol for connectivity.) Other commenters describe SingleStore as complicated or taking time to master “It has some learning curve,” says one. Some commenters describe it as very easy to use, and very easy to implement this is especially true for those who have MySQL experience. The only major aspect of SingleStore’s capabilities that receives mixed reviews on G2 Crowd is ease of use. Two Sides to Ease of Use, and More two-sides-to-ease-of-use-and-more Now we can analyze large amounts of data with efficiency.” “We are solving too many problems with the help of SingleStore. New features in SingleStore Universal Storage improve speed further, with smaller data size (equals faster loading times) for rowstore tables, and faster seeks and faster updating, using secondary hash indexes, for columnstore tables. SingleStore achieves its high speed through a distributed, lock-free architecture. The major focus of many comments, and a common thread through nearly all of them, is SingleStore’s speed. (Some of the comments have been lightly edited for spelling, syntax, spelling out acronyms, and so on – the original comments are on the G2 site.) Speed speed

The major positive areas cited in include speed, capacity, and ease of implementation. The recent comments on G2.com have yielded a star rating of 4 out of a possible 5 points.

(Also, as most would say, of the new decade, though – as xkcd points out – this is a matter of some controversy.) However, the most recent review was in December now, some lucky SingleStore user has the chance to register the first comment of the new year.

As Walt P, a data engineer at an enterprise company, puts it: “We have loaded data in volumes that have historically stopped other database technologies in their tracks.” Since our look at the site last July, dozens of new reviews have been posted, citing SingleStore’s speed, high capacity, and SQL compatibility, among other features. SingleStore is garnering a lot of positive attention on business solutions review site G2.com (formerly known as G2 Crowd).
