8.0
Actian Analytics Engine
Key Highlights of Version 8.0:
• Built for AI & RAG: Unlocks modern use cases for building Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) applications, supports predefined embedding models, and allows direct access to LLMs natively via SQL statements.
• Streamlined Data Lake Experience: Expands open table format support extending external table mechanism into "data sources" for easier registration of entire datasets. Includes all-new credential management and transparent caching.
• Enhanced ETL Processes: New transient tables enable better in-database ETL
• Massive Performance Gains: Multiple performance optimizations, delivering improvements up to 40% on TPC-DS.
• Runtime Flexibility: The engine's memory and buffer pool can be scaled at runtime without downtime, indexes are now separated from the WAL file.
• Inherited Upgrades: TLS support and newly updated Actian Monitor.
