Summary

SingleStore is a columnstore database that combines rowstore and columnstore data tables in a single, scalable, powerful database with native SQL support. It offers several advantages over other columnstore databases, including excellent performance, low resource utilization, cost savings through compression, and the ability to combine rowstore and columnstore data in one query. SingleStore is free up to four nodes with unlimited disk storage, which makes it an attractive option for businesses that need a powerful database without breaking the bank. It consistently outperforms other free, open-source, and enterprise-grade columnstore databases, supporting ANSI SQL and the MySQL wire protocol, making it easy to integrate with existing tools in the data ecosystem. With its unique compression capabilities and fully distributed nature, SingleStore enables businesses to store more data while reducing storage space costs, and provides a 2-in-1 solution for OLTP and OLAP workloads.
