Users can then download the data in this form directly to their desktop or laptop. The read-only, compressed data stored locally in QD can be accessed with standard SQL tools and can be queried faster than would be possible from its native RDBMS. • 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.

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.
