How Exasol DB is different from Other Transactional Database.

In My current client engagement, we are keeping all the data in Microsoft SQL server. but now we have to migrate from SQL server to another transaction database because we are facing performance issue in IT. Client suggested to migrate to Databricks SQL or Exasol. so need some suggestions and expertise on this?

Hi Mayank, I have worked on all 3 databases (SQL server, Exasol & Databricks SQL) so I will try my best opinion to choose good database in terms of Performance for your organization. Microsoft SQL Server is also a good choice of transaction database but if you have a large amount of data and you have some downstream application or reports to use that data then you can see some performance issue. Exasol is the best choice because this is a in-memory database so all the data stores in the RAM or you can say in the In-Memory not in DISK so when you extract or load the data then its is very fast as compared to other databases. In Exasol, we have LUA scripts as well which can be used to implement the ETL pipeline to fetch the data from different sources and loading it into Exasol DB. Exasol DB can be integrated Easily with reporting solutions like POwerBI or Tableau so the reports which integrates with ExasolDB is also very fast in terms of Performance. Databricks SQL is also a good choice of database but it requires lot of technical expertise to implement the data pipeline in Databricks SQL so it will be good to implement the same in Exasol. The only limitation of Exasol is Cost/Price so if your organization is well established to adopt it then this is a great choice.
