Introduction
What Is Actian Vector?
Actian Vector (hereafter Vector) is a next generation database management system from the Actian family of database products.
Vector is targeted at analytical database applications—applications that need to process large volumes of data and perform complex operations on it to derive useful information. Typical examples include data warehousing, data mining, and reporting.
Vector is optimized to work with both memory- and disk-resident datasets, allowing it to efficiently process large amounts of data (hundreds of gigabytes).
Note: Although it is fast for data analysis, Vector is not meant to be used for traditional transaction processing. For OLTP, you can use other products from Actian such as Ingres Database.
