Overview

The significant cost and time are essential to obtain a comprehensive response, the response time to a query across a peer-to-peer database is one of the most challenging issues. This is particularly exact when dealing with large-scale data processing, where the traditional approach of processing data on a single machine may not be sufficient. The need for a scalable, reliable, and secure data processing system is becoming increasingly important. Managing a single in-memory database instance for multiple tenants is often easier than managing separate databases for each tenant. The research work is focused on scalability with multi-tenancy and more efficiency with a faster querying performance using in-memory database approach. We compare the performance of a row-oriented approach and column-oriented approach on our benchmark human resources (HR) schema using Oracle TimesTen in-memory database. Also, we captured some of the key advantages on optimization dimension(s) are the traditional approach, late-materialization, compression and invisible join on column-store (c-store) and row-base. When compression and late materialization are enabled in a query set; it improves the overall performance of query sets. In particular, the paper aims to elucidate the motivations behind multi-tenant application requirements concerning the database engine and highlight major designs over in-memory database for the tenancy approach on cloud.
