GemFire SQLDataFabric - "noSQL database" scalability using SQL
NoSQL databases offer horizontal scalability through data partitioning and relaxing the consistency semantics in traditional SQL databases. But, often, this also means that developers have to relinquish the use of SQL as the querying language. This talk presents, SQLFabric, a SQL data grid that brings together Apache Derby and GemFire data grid to offer a horizontally scalable, memory oriented data management system where developers can continue to use SQL. We discuss the product features, where it strays from popular SQL databases and how it compares to other "noSQL" offerings
