Has anyone here seen or heard anything concrete about Sybase iQ (other than Sybase's performance claims). They say that the basis of their new engine is "analytics", not transactions. A Google search turned up nothing of technical merit and the whole idea seems to be using seperate storage for each column and compressing all data (not per record, as in the entire column is compressed as a whole). Would one be able to have one column per MyISAM table and get a similar performance (while obviously still retaining the same disk requirements and possibly loosing out due to the additional IO required to pull data in and write it out)?
