What is MaxDB and how is it used as a database?

MaxDB is different than other RDBMS or BIDW systems because it is a database that is used to store data. It is also a management system that is used to manage actual databases. In that regard, it functions very well as a relational database management system that is used to store data in tables. 

MaxDB was originally developed by a German company called SAP. It was first released in 1999. MaxDB, therefore, functions as  a relational database management system that is used to store data in tables much like other traditional platforms. 

There are many different industries that prefer to use MaxDB. These industries include: 

  • Banking and financial institutions
  • Telecommunications
  • Retail
  • Manufacturing
  • Healthcare
  • Government

There are a few perceived drawbacks to using MaxDB as a database system. 

First, MaxDB is a proprietary database system. This means that it is not available for free and you must purchase a license in order to use it. 

Second, MaxDB is not as widely used as other database systems such as MySQL, Oracle, or Microsoft SQL Server. This means that there is a smaller pool of people who are familiar with MaxDB and how to use it. 

Third, MaxDB is not as easy to use as some of the other database systems. It can be challenging to learn how to use all of the features and functions of MaxDB.
