It is incredibly efficient at adding keys to an index and search speed is not seriously impacted. That means you can add dozens of indexes and data load speed is still several orders of magnitude faster than using BTREE indexes. Means you can add indexes to optimize currently marginal queries which you had been avoiding doing because of the impact on data maintenance windows. It also means that maintenance can be performed without disabling or dropping indexes first. One test showed something on the order of a 20+hour load with indexes in place took 6 hours to drop indexes, load, and rebuild indexes and using coppereye indexes without dropping the same load was performed in just under an hour! VERY interesting technology, but I can't get anyone around here to look at it because of the support -vs- finger pointing issues. Art S.

Yes, it's impressive technology. It was first announced on cdi in June, but I was asked to particiapte in testing over a year ago. So it's strange that Madison's team was not brought on board earlier. |
