Oracle upgrades TimesTen In-Memory Database 11g

Oracle is claiming better performing in-memory caching

Oracle has upgraded its TimesTen In-Memory Database 11g, and released a new version of the database caching option to provide customers with faster response times. Both products are designed for deployment in the middle-tier.

The in-memory caches are transactional read-write caches with full persistence, recoverability and automatic data synchronisation with the Oracle Database, the company said.

New features include a Database Cache Grid that allows incremental scale out of in-memory database caching, and the online addition and removal of cache grid nodes without service interruption.

The grid also provides data location transparency so that each cache grid node can access data from its local memory, from another cache grid node, or from the backend Oracle Database.

In related news, Oracle has also updated its security policies for JD Edwards application data. The Oracle Database Vault will now include policies that allow EnterpriseOne customers to restrict access to application data by highly privileged users, prevent application bypass and provide multi-factor authorisation.
