ALTIBASE vs CUBRID

ALTIBASE is a relational database engine that combines in-memory and on-disk storage. It can run entirely in memory, entirely on disk, or in a hybrid mode, with features for both OLTP and OLAP workloads. Built-in replication supports synchronous or asynchronous consistency and Active-Active or Active-Standby architectures. Listed interfaces include ODBC, JDBC, .NET and Entity Framework, OLEDB, Embedded SQL, CLI, Perl DBD, and PHP. ALTIBASE V7.3 lists migration support for Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Tibero, and CUBRID, along with DBeaver compatibility through plugins. Its listed utilities cover querying, replication management, profiling, monitoring, migration, exporting, and loading data. Security capabilities include SSL/TLS communication, SQL auditing, password policies, IP access control, object privileges, and methods to integrate third-party encryption. The Linux, self-hosted product offers a free A+ Edition for development, testing, and education; it is not for commercial use and is limited to 128 concurrent users, 10 GB in-memory, and 50 GB disk database. Enterprise subscription pricing is available on request.

CUBRID is a free, self-hosted object-relational database management system for Internet data services. Its architecture combines a database server, a broker, and CUBRID Manager. Transactions support commit, rollback, and savepoints, with locking and logging for consistency. Backup methods include online, offline, and incremental options, while recovery can be partial or full. CUBRID HA synchronizes data between servers and can fail over when a master node fails, although the HA feature supports Linux only. The database supports read replicas and JSON data. Security documentation covers TLS-encrypted client connections, access control, authorization, and transparent data encryption. Interfaces listed include CCI, JDBC, PHP, ODBC, OLE DB, ADO.NET, Ruby, Python, and Node.js. Downloads include CUBRID Manager and the CUBRID Migration Toolkit. Installation documentation lists Windows and 64-bit Linux, requiring at least 1 GB of memory and 2 GB of disk space. The engine is listed at free.
