Excel Database Tasks (EDT) vs. Oracle Coherence vs. Sequel Pro

Oracle Coherence can be used to solve latency problems by caching data near the application tier. In-memory performance helps to reduce data contention, thus improving application response time. Oracle Coherence does a great job at scaling linearly and can do so dynamically. Oracle Coherence can replicate data so it can be part of a disaster recovery solution. One thing that is often overlooked with elastic caches is their ability to analyze data in memory, leveraging the processing power of the data grid. This is something Oracle Coherence does exceptionally well. Oracle Coherence also provided event handling capabilities to allow applications to respond to events triggered by transactions.

It's a great tool when building the software, the ability to add SQL and No-SQL databases. Very convenient to write the queries and generate the filtered data we require. Gives the ability to export, import databases of various formats and generate reports from them. It might not be suitable if you want the data to be seen in a visualized manner

• Performance. Superfast resolution of complex data grid queries.
• Reliability. Availability domain support for disaster recovery.
• Programming model. Frictionless API for use with Java 8.

• Table filters are simple and easy to use
• I love the ability to install plugins: Export tables to Laravel migrations is one of our most used plugins
• Super easy to connect to local Docker containers, Vagrant and remote DBs through SSH

• I can't really come up with too many flaws, but possibly a bit expensive considering there are good open source caches like Ehcache.

• It crashes CONSTANTLY. If you have more than one connection tab open and close one of them, it crashes. If you just have it open in the background, it randomly crashes. If you're using it, it randomly crashes. When you try to send a crash report, the CRASH REPORTER CRASHES.
• Can be a bit slow.
• No way that I'm aware of to query multiple databases in the same query.

It is easy to use, but the design could use updating as it's very dated.

Oracle Coherence support team is responsive and knowledgeable. We contacted them to ask a couple of design questions about how we were setting up Oracle Coherence based on how we used IBM's Datapower Extreme Scale. They were able to guide us so that we got the design correct the first time and didn't have to go back and re-architect our design later.

It's open-source and very convenient to work with. I can easily import any database I want using a data dump and runt the queries on them to derive the data insights on the data. I might want to use Excel to visualize that, that might be one of the disadvantages.

DataSynapse GridServer has the same cache functionality connected with a grid distributed application deployment platform. It provides all the necessary tools to configure and manage these applications. On the otherhand Oracle Coherence has more a flexible configuration and better performance. Also the Oracle configuration and monitoring tools are more convenient and informative than the DataSynapse ones.

MySQL Workbench is a wonderful tool, but the routine editing of existing data is note nearly as straightforward as it is in Sequel Pro. The ability to sort a data view with a single click makes Sequel Pro my definite choice. phpMyAdmin is pretty ubiquitous, but the routine editing of existing data is much more cumbersome than it is in Sequel Pro.

• In my current project, it is yet to be decided as we are on the way to make it live for users. But I am sure it will be an added value to obtain timely calculations.

• The user interface is great. Since all of our computers are macOS based, we can all use it and share knowledge with our colleagues
• It enables me to make things in such a faster way that it enables us to spend our time with coding and providing more solutions to our clients
• The workflow is much improved with the import and export feature, so we don't waste time with that kind of work.
