What benefits does QD deliver?
The ultimate benefit of QD is 24/7 access and improved insight into the data stored in large corporate databases. Insight is improved because data can be combined from any number of disparate databases or flat files. Queries will also be faster than they have ever been before, and queries that were not even possible under traditional RDBMS’s will be more than possible they will be easy and fast with QD. Data needed by an analyst may often be distributed over several data sources that inhibit easy access. In other cases, database and system administrators have imposed strict policies that prohibit running intensive queries against the production database, or limit these queries to non-production hours. Queries that can’t complete in the allotted time are not permitted to run. QD solves these data access issues. It enables analysts and other data users to run the queries they want against the data they need, and gain new insights into their corporate data and key business drivers. • What
