Raima Database Manager (RDM) contains an all new data storage engine optimized specifically for working with memory resident data sets. This new In-memory Database Engine (IMDB) allows for significant performance gains and a reduction in processing requirements compared to the On-disk-engine. The RDM IMDB runs alongside the RDM On-disk engine and databases can be opened with either one. This document describes the use, strengths, and limitations of the RDM IMDB to allow a developer to know when it is appropriate for it to be used.
