GridSQL Open Source Project

GridSQL is a shared-nothing clustered database system targeted at data warehousing and data mart applications. It includes intelligence to maximize parallelization over multiple servers, delivering faster query response times than can be achieved by single-node databases.

GridSQL Monitor

GridSQL clusters together independent database nodes and presents them as a unified, virtual database. GridSQL’s intelligent partitioning engine allows data to be distributed across all nodes in a configurable manner, and then parallelizes query execution across the distributed infrastructure. Important features of GridSQL include:

Performance:

Leverages parallelism to quickly and efficiently perform queries on large data volumes

Standards Based:

Supports Structured Query Language (SQL)

Connectivity:

Compatible with the PostgreSQL protocol

Works with EnterpriseDB's or PostgreSQL's drivers including JDBC, ODBC, and .NET provider

Administration:

Flexible configuration options and administration
