Is Oracle's TimesTen & Oracle NoSQL the same product?


Is Oracle's TimeTen in-memory database the same product as it's new Oracle NoSQL product offering?

UPDATE:

The genesis for this post is the following, when someone wrote:

"I don’t expect Oracle NoSQL database to be a new product. Just a rebranding or repackaging of one of the above mentioned ones. Probably the TimesTen."


Solution

  • No.

    TimesTen is a standard relational SQL database that is entirely in-memory. It supports ANSI SQL and PL/SQL, and it was bought by Oracle in 2005.

    Oracle NoSQL is a distributed file-based key-value database, similar to Hadoop or MongoDB, based on Berkeley DB which was bought by Oracle in 2006.
