A commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of EnterpriseDB, published in January 2015, presents a case study for the evolution of relational database management systems. The study, Relational Databases are Evolving to Support New Data Capabilities, found that the majority—78%—of database decisions makers wanted one solution that could handle relational and NoSQL data types. The study finds that relational databases are evolving to address the needs of end users seeking to link unstructured and structured data types and that decision makers should look to invest in these solutions. EDB’s Postgres Plus Advanced Server, for example, addresses these needs with such capabilities as support for unstructured data types, non-durable tables, tools for large-scale data loads, and integration technologies that connect standalone NoSQL solutions with Postgres.
