Devart ODBC Driver vs. Oracle Coherence

We are using it mainly for automation. We are using HP Quality Center as our automation tool and started using Devart ODBC for connectivity to Oracle DB. We have a lot of queries in our scripts that make several connections to the db for a particular user scenario. Devart ODBC has improved the overall runtime needed for the scripts.

It literally all boils down to the budget a team has. Nowadays, even investment banks look for every opportunity to cut cost. Oracle Coherence is a pretty robust and highly configurable cache application that every team should use if they can afford. If they can't, then open source code is their answer.

• Distributed in memory data managment. Your data is near your data manipulator or calculator engine.
• Write behind, read through, write through concept.
• Fault tolerance and scalable.
• Continueous query, live events, map reduced aggregiation, extend client are few of the very good features I have used.

• It would be good if the connection details are stored on the cloud based on the user login so that even if the software is corrupted, it can be pulled in automatically from the cloud upon reinstallation.
• It would great if video demos were available for the key features of the tool. That would make it a lot simpler for the user when using it the first time.
• User friendliness can be improved.

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.
