Sybase IQ 15.1 hit the streets July 15 with new features designed to improve in-database analytics.
Sybase has updated its
column-based IQ software with new functionality to improve in-database
analytics.
The company announced the
availability of
Sybase IQ 15.1
July 15, bolstering it with additional numerical and analytical functions and
ANSI SQL OLAP extensions. Also added to
the mix courtesy of Sybase partner
Fuzzy Logix were new libraries
of pluggable analytical algorithms. Fuzzy Logix is the first vendor
to join Sybase's new partner certification program, which is meant to
help predictive analytics software vendors port their libraries to the Sybase
IQ User Defined Function
API.
The main new functions
added to the library of numerical and analytical functions already built into
Sybase
IQ are around dates-such as Datefloor, Dateround and Dateceiling-and are
meant to ensure appropriate date representations within the applications,
Joydeep Das, senior product manager at Sybase, told eWEEK.
Sybase
also added
ANSI SQL OLAP extensions to IQ 15.1,
including correlation and covariance between two or more data points,
regression analysis of data sets, and first and last value in a data series.
"Sybase IQ also sports an
impressive array of OLAP functions already built-in, such as ranking, standard
deviation, percentile, etc., which are performed in-database for the fastest
possible results," Das said.
The long-term road map for
the product is focused on providing a platform for high-performance, scalable
reporting and analytics, Das continued.
"Our near-term goal is to
enable both load time transformation and analytical computations to be done
inside Sybase IQ, thereby enabling analytical applications to be developed and
deployed in the most effective manner," Das said.
