Komparace nejznámějších databázových systémů

The main aim of my thesis was to perform a high-level comparison of the selected database systems from the perspective of commonly perceived factors.The comparison has been made from the technological standpoint, the hardware requirements view, security and high availability. Factors like scalability, support for analytic tools and third party integration options as well as general usability have been included as well. The actual finance and budgeting piece generally defining the actual products are also part of the thesis. As the paper shows, it is not possible to generalize and select "the best" database system as those are defined by their properties specifically tailored for a defined set of use cases. The actual strengths and weakness of the products are however easy to pinpoint and are described. It remains clear that each implementation should included a detailed analytic part which directly maps the customer's requirements and is able to provide required information for the product selection in the later phases of the project.
