Relational DB & Data Warehouse

Relational databases and data warehouses are structured data management systems that store information in tables with predefined schemas and use SQL for querying and analysis. Relational databases are optimized for transactional workloads (OLTP), while data warehouses are optimized for large-scale analytical workloads (OLAP) that aggregate data from many sources. Together, they underpin most enterprise data architectures, enabling reliable storage, reporting, and business intelligence at scale.

Key Features

  • •Structured, schema-based data model using tables, rows, and columns
  • •SQL support for querying, joins, aggregations, and transactions
  • •ACID properties for reliable transactional processing (primarily in OLTP RDBMS)
  • •Indexing, query optimization, and execution engines for efficient data access
  • •Support for complex analytical queries, aggregations, and BI workloads (primarily in warehouses)

Pricing

Unknown

Pricing varies widely by specific product and vendor (e.g., open-source RDBMS, commercial licenses, or cloud consumption-based pricing for managed warehouses).

Alternatives

NoSQL Databases (e.g., MongoDB, Cassandra)Data Lake / Lakehouse Platforms (e.g., Apache Iceberg, Delta Lake, Snowflake as lakehouse)In-Memory Databases (e.g., SAP HANA)
