Altibase is a hybrid database, relational database management system manufactured by the Altibase Corporation. The software's hybrid architecture allows it to access both memory-resident and disk-resident tables using single interface. It supports both synchronous and asynchronous replication and offers real-time ACID compliance. Support is also offered for a variety of SQL standards and programming languages. Other important capabilities include data import and export, data encryption for security, multiple data access command sets, materialized view and temporary tables, and others.[2]

History

[edit]

From 1991 through 1997 the Mr. RT project was an in-memory database research project, conducted by the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute a government-funded research organization in South Korea.[3] Altibase was incorporated in 1999.[3]

Altibase acquired an in-memory database engine from the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute in February 2000, and commercialized the database in October of the same year.[4] In 2001, Altibase changed the name of the in-memory database product from "Spiner" to "Altibase" in 2001.[5] In 2004, Altibase integrated the in-memory database with a disk-resident database to create a hybrid DBMS, released version 4.0 and renamed it as ALTIBASE HDB.[6][7] Altibase released version 5.5.1 and 6.1.1 in 2012, version 6.3.1 in November 2013, and 6.5.1 in May 2015.[8] Altibase claims that this is the world's first hybrid DBMS[citation needed]. Altibase released its open source edition version 7.1, however, closed the source in 2023.

In August 2023, Altibase released its cloud-optimized version 7.3.

In 2011, version 5.5.1 was renamed it to HDB (for "hybrid database"). The Altibase Data Stream product for complex event processing was renamed DSM.[22] The product received a Korean technology award.[23] Altibase introduced certification services.[24] In 2012, HDB Zeta and Extreme were announced, and DSM renamed to CEP.[25]

In 2013, yet another variant called XDB was announced,[26] and the company received ISO/IEC 20000 certification.[27] In 2018, Altibase went open source.

As a result, the open-source edition of Altibase 7.1 will no longer be available for download or use. Altibase released version 7.3 in September, 2023, its notable feature is the world’s first hybrid partition, allowing data to be stored in both memory and on disk at the partition level. Version 7.3 also added parallel processing capabilities for high-speed performance in both partitioned and non-partitioned scenarios. Improving potential bottlenecks associated with Commit and logging that impact transaction performance, version 7.3 has achieved an approximately 490% enhancement in performance compared to previous versions.[28][29]
