IBM Db2 Big SQL

Feature spotlights

Standards-compliant ODBC and JDBC

Provides usage patterns, enabling developers to access databases using products or tooling that require ODBC or JDBC.

Point queries

Enables short, rapid queries that search by key word or key ranges. Uses HBase for point queries and rapid insert, and to update and delete workloads.

Apache Spark integration

Integrates with Spark for easier data delivery and faster processing. Provides an ANSI-compliant SQL parser that can run 99 TPC-DS queries and structured streaming with new APIs.

Federation capabilities

Uses a single database connection, enabling you to access big data across Hadoop and relational databases, whether they are on the cloud, on premises or both. Includes Fluid Query capabilities to enhance virtualization with data warehouses. You can also federate with object store and WebHDFS.

Compatibility with multiple SQL dialects
