Lucid Db

"LucidDB is the first and only open-source RDBMS purpose-built entirely for data warehousing and business intelligence. Most database systems (both proprietary and open-source) start life with a focus on transaction processing capabilities, then get analytical capabilities bolted on as an afterthought (if at all). By contrast, every component of LucidDB was designed with the requirements of flexible, high-performance data integration and sophisticated query processing in mind. Moreover, comprehensiveness within the focused scope of its architecture means simplicity for the user: no DBA required.

Rather than throwing hardware at data warehousing problems by relying on expensive clusters or specialized "appliances", the scalability offered by LucidDB's unique architecture allows you to achieve great performance using only a single off-the-shelf Linux or Windows server. Besides keeping costs down, this also minimizes maintenance and administration hassles. "
