Aster Data belongs to which Database family

I know Aster Data leverages SQL Map Reduce, ncluster and analytic capability.
From Database architecture perspective which family does Aster belongs to?

Solution

  • Aster database doesn't formally belong to certain database family, but you can identify it with several database types:

    • it's distributed, parallel, relational database;
    • it's MPP (massively parallel processing) database;
    • it's based on PostgreSQL open source code (forked);
    • it's NOT based on Teradata database.
