⁠Actian Ingres Docker Image

⁠Actian Ingres

The Actian Ingres Hybrid Database includes the record breaking analytic engine from Actian's Vector to enable a new class of applications that can mix OLTP and analytic queries, with each query being directed to the appropriate execution engine. Actian Ingres contains many new management, development and security features.

The Actian Ingres 12.1 release introduces several enhancements, including Enterprise Security, Real-Time Integration, Advanced Analytics and SQL Administration enhancements. The 12.1 release has new capabilities designed to support mission-critical business and modernization efforts, such as:

• Enterprise Security Hardens infrastructure with Native Data-at-Rest Encryption (TDE) and TLS 1.3. Now supports Federated Identity Management (FIM) for seamless OIDC/OAuth 2.0 integration.

• Real-Time Integration (CDC) Transforms Ingres into a streaming source. A new Log Reader API and Debezium connector stream row-level changes directly to Kafka, Spark, and open ecosystems.

• Advanced Analytics Adds dynamic memory resizing, cloud checkpoints, and native TensorFlow ML.

• SQL manipulation and Administration Supports TRANSLATE, SUBSTRING_INDEX, database comments, and improved dependency tracking. Dockman support for unified container management and Polyglot UDFs (Python/JS).
