MonetDB is an open source column-oriented database management system developed at the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) in the Netherlands. It was designed to provide high performance on complex queries against large databases, e.g. combining tables with hundreds of columns and multi-million rows. MonetDB has been successfully applied in high-performance applications for data mining, OLAP, GIS, XML Query, text and multimedia retrieval.
MonetDB internal data representation relies on the memory addressing ranges of contemporary CPUs using demand paging of memory mapped files, and thus departing from traditional DBMS designs involving complex management of large data stores in limited memory.
MonetDB introduced innovations at all layers of a DBMS (see the MonetDB publications): a storage model based on vertical fragmentation, a modern CPU-tuned query execution architecture that often gives MonetDB a more than 10-fold raw speed advantage on the same algorithm over a typical interpreter-based RDBMS. MonetDB is one of the first database systems to focus its query optimization effort on exploiting CPU caches. MonetDB also features automatic and self-tuning indexes, run-time query optimization, a modular software architecture, etc. [1][2]
The MonetDB family consists of:
- MonetDB/SQL: the relational database solution
- MonetDB/GIS: Simple Features extension to MonetDB/SQL
- MonetDB Server: the multi-model database server
History
MonetDB (initially only called Monet) was first created by Peter A. Boncz and Martin L. Kersten as part of the MAGNUM research project at University of Amsterdam.[3] The first version under an Open Source license (a modified version of the Mozilla Public License) was released on September 30, 2004.[4]
