Vivid DB

Universal Data Mapper

Vivid DB v0.1.11

About

Vivid DB is a Python based universal data mapper and SQL-Database engine, that implements high-performance and security requirements for large-scale data analysis applications. The primary goal of Vivid DB is to separate data integration and data analysis into independent tasks.

Vivid DB unifies various data sources into a common data interface to allow applications with high interoperability
Vivid DB unifies various data sources into a common data interface to allow applications with high interoperability

To achieve this goal, Vivid DB implements the two fundamental layers of a data warehouse, the integration layer and the staging layer:

  1. The integration layer utilizes SQLAlchemy to allow it's connection to a variety of SQL-Databases (e.g. IBM DB2, Oracle, SAP, MS-SQL, MS-Access, Firebird, Sybase, MySQL, Postgresql, SQLite, etc.). Thereupon it provides native support for flat file databases (e.g. CSV-Tables, R-Table exports), laboratory measurements and data generators.
  2. The staging layer is implemented as a native SQL-Database engine with full SQL:2016 support, vertical data layout and real-time encryption. This allows the data analysis application to integrate a variety of different data sources, by using a unified data interface (and SQL dialect).

According to our convictions Vivid DB is free software and licensed under the terms and conditions of the GPL-3.0 . The source code is available on GitHub .
