Like it Mike – spot on, and you didn’t even mention the army of people you’d need in your garage to maintain the Fiero and the Rocket!…

Wayne, interesting in the light of aquisition we have heard so little from Mr S. Given how HP did such a fantastic job of not selling NeoView – will we see Vertica II or is Mike finally on a beach with a Pina Colada?

Stu, my take is SAP bought Sybase for their mobile platform, I wrote a blog on that at the time. I think Sybase IQ is at direct odds with SAP HANA and as I was at Sybase when we bought IQ I will state it is very hard to hold two competing technologies in an organization’s sales kit at the same time. Oracle is really the only vendor I have seen who has done an OK job at that. I suspect the people at IRI, TimesTen et al may not agree but I would give them better points than others at being able to market competing technologies; they always were effective at competing and marketing so it’s not a surprise. My suggestion is IQ will die on the vine, starved of oxygen by HANA, whatever protests there are to the contrary. While if I were at SAP I would persist HANA to disk they have pushed hard for in-memory and it is hard for organizations to turn. If they did go this route then I would more likely see a disk-based HANA than an in-memory IQ. SAP are more likely to back the new in-house database they designed than IQ, the old work horse. My market data also says that while a lot of IQ licences have been sold, a lot remain undeployed. Not dissimilar from what we are seeing with the social networks, a lot of sign-ups but few active users.

Wondering why you don’t include Sybase IQ in the mix of column store players?
