MonetDB is a high-performance relational database system designed for analytics, offering a robust SQL-compliant database interface. It supports a wide range of applications, from pure analytics to hybrid transactional/analytical processing. MonetDB includes common features such as keys, joins, views, triggers, and stored procedures, along with full ACID properties for concurrent transactions. It also embraces advanced SQL standards like SQL;1999 ROLLUP CUBE and GROUPING SETS, SQL;2003 merge statements, and SQL;2011 window functions.
MonetDB delivers query results in seconds or less, achieving high performance on heavy analytical workloads through fine-grained optimization across the database software stack. Queries are transformed by relational optimizers into parallel execution plans that capitalize on modern multi-core CPU architecture. This is all based on a columnar storage model tailored for analytical data processing. Additional indices are employed where beneficial to further accelerate query execution.
MonetDB enables users to leverage hooks to integrate their own user-defined functions (UDFs) in SQL. It supports various UDF types, including aggregate, filter, window, and table-returning SQL functions. MonetDB offers seamless integration with JDBC and ODBC drivers and several programming language interface libraries. This feature set empowers users to tailor their database operations to their specific needs, enhancing functionality and performance.
MonetDB is open-source and its community includes students, teachers, researchers, start-ups, small businesses, and multinational enterprises. With a history of closely following the frontline of technological development since its source release in 2004, MonetDB has continually matured proven research ideas into production-level features. It is used worldwide for education, research, and businesses.
