Trends in Databases (1) Hybrid Databases: Offers characteristics of in-memory databases and on-disk databases combine in a singular architecture. This concept hinges on a database being highly available, scalable, and reliable to justify its use. Adding horizontal scalability (when the amount of data increases, the system typically adds nodes for data storage and computational power) found in NoSQL DB’s, to the existing frame work of vertical scalability found in most SQL or relational databases, it presents unique opportunities to solve issues.

Advantages Of A Hybrid Database Include: Performance: Sorting, storing and retrieving frequently accessed data entirely happens in- memory rather than from disk. This indeed makes the Hybrid Database perform fast. Also, Hybrid Databases make use of optimizers to automatically choose the best execution plan on the basis of statistics and the available indexes in order to improve the overall performance irrespective of the data’s location. Cost: Hard disk is cheaper than RAM. Thus, the money saved can be utilized to add more memory in order to increase performance. Persistence: As the RAM chips can’t get close to the storage density of a physical storage disk, the hard drives are still employed to store the data required for later usage. This assures that the data is not lost in case of power failure. Flexibility: Hybrid databases gives you the capability to execute transactional (OLTP) and analytical (OLAP) workloads parallelly. This is called as HTAP (Hybrid Transactional and Analytical Processing). HTAP provides better flexibility to the developers while updating the existing software or building new software. This makes hybrid databases highly suitable for real-time, data-driven apps. Rows and Columns: Hybrid Database allows for both row-based and column-based storage. This helps in optimizing both transactional and analytical queries, thereby resulting in faster searching and reporting. A hybrid storage plan in a unified database gives a highly efficient platform, with all data stored in a manner that optimizes the task at hand. Deployment: Hybrid Database allows for both cloud-based deployments and on-premise deployments. Cloud-based deployment removes the necessity for continuous management of database and technology by internal IT resources. In the meantime, on-

premise deployment gives better control when required. This indeed helps the businesses to use their resources and staff in a more efficient way. ( What Is Hybrid Database?
