inviscid commented on issue #5250: Add support for hosting superset DB in greenplum URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-superset/issues/5250#issuecomment-399153882 @mistercrunch totally agree that Greenplum is not an ideal OLTP style RDBMS. OLTP encompasses a wide range of possibilities. Superset isn't really doing traditional OLTP type activities, it is simply using the database as a relational database. Some OLTP systems have heavy referential integrity while others built for speed (10k transactions/second) have only the most minimal checks. Bottom line is that it really depends on use cases and where selecting a sub-optimal technical platform may improve the overall solution optimality. The challenge with advocating a two database platform solution is complexity, cost, and people. Since Superset's use of the database is not overly taxing, it seems like a good idea to allow it to support the widest set of databases possible to encourage adoption and remove barriers to economical use. Since Greenplum can be supported through SQLAlchemy it seems like a worthy target database in the future.
