The relational database system component stores database information in a row format. The column-oriented data processing component stores the database information in a column format. In response to a database update request, the relational database management system component updates the database information stored in the row format; the relational database management system component notifies the column-oriented data processing component of the database update request; and the column-oriented data processing component updates the database information stored in said column format. In response to a query request, the column-oriented data processing component generates a query response based on the database information stored in said column format. In this manner, an embodiment of the present invention is able to generate up-to-date reports without the need for extraction, translation and loading procedures. | 09-24-2009 |
