Bitnine Launches World's First Graph DB Product Equipped with PostgreSQL DB

Bitnine, a specialist company in PostgreSQL and database (DB) technology, announced on the 6th the release of 'AgensSQL Enterprise Edition Plus (AgensSQL EE+).'

AgensSQL EE+ includes a feature that Bitnine introduced as the world's first. Based on open-source PostgreSQL and supporting Oracle compatibility in the existing 'AgensSQL Enterprise Edition (AgensSQL EE),' a plugin-type BI (Business Intelligence) solution has been integrated. This enables data visualization and analysis at the level of graph DB.

This solution is a commercialized version of 'Apache AGE,' which was promoted to a 'Top Level Project (TLP)' by the Apache Foundation and has achieved great success in the global market. The solution consists of Apache AGE, a repository capable of storing graph data, and ‘Graphizer,’ a No-Code exploration and analysis tool. Graphizer provides features such as a graph mapper and loader that allow easy ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) of tabular data into graph form, as well as a viewer function that enables easy exploration and visualization of graph data.

Therefore, by utilizing AgensSQL EE+, data storage and management requiring consistency are handled in PostgreSQL-based relational DB (OLTP), while complex relational data can be separately extracted and quickly stored, visualized, and analyzed as graph data (OLAP) through the solution.

AgensSQL EE+ also supports a hybrid query function that simultaneously uses SQL, the relational DB language, and Cypher, the graph DB language. Since SQL can be used even for aggregate queries frequently used in analytical tasks, development convenience is significantly enhanced. Although it is a BI solution, it can effectively be used as a multi-model DB.

From a business perspective, it is highly practical. AgensSQL EE+ fully utilizes the core functions of graph DB, a representative NoSQL (Not Only SQL) DB, while maintaining the existing relational DB (SQL) system, maximizing cost efficiency. As it can be used as an RDB+GDB multi-model, it is very suitable for the modern data management trend of 'purpose-built DB.' Since graph DB defines relationships between data at the time of storage, it is very easy to identify complex relationships, discover new insights, and apply them to actual business.

Bitnine expects that with the release of AgensSQL EE+, it will be able to provide customers with graph analysis and visualization services more easily. Since it is a solution rather than another DB, the burden at the adoption stage is low, and it is much more advantageous in system management and maintenance.

A Bitnine representative said, "We will target the domestic DB market based on overwhelming technology in PostgreSQL and graph fields," adding, "Since AgensSQL EE+ is a product developed based on a global community, we expect achievements not only in Korea but also in the global market."
