MonetDB provides an SQL compliant database
interface, supporting the common SQL features
such as keys, joins, views, triggers and stored
procedures
Furthermore, it supports full-ACID
properties for concurrent transactions,
SQL:1999 ROLLUP, CUBE and GROUPING
SETS, SQL:2003 merge statements, and
SQL:2011 window functions

Achieving high-performance for heavy analytical
workloads requires fine-grained optimisation throughout
the database software stack
In MonetDB, your
queries are translated by tens of relational optimisers
to a parallel execution plan leveraging the modern multi-core
CPU architecture, on a column-based storage model designed
primarily for analytical data processing
Where applicable,
additional indices are used to accelerate your queries' execution

Next to user-defined aggregate, filter, window and
table returning SQL functions, MonetDB also
supports UDFs implemented using Python, R or
C/C++ with zero data conversion costs

With her roots in core database research,
MonetDB closely follows the frontline of the technological
development
Since her first release in 2004, MonetDB constantly
matures proven research ideas into production-level features and
contributes product improvements back to the community
