Introduction to Big Data Multi-dimensional Databases
Big Data Multi-dimensional Databases are a breakthrough innovative cloud data processing technology that combines databases and spreadsheets.
It consists of a grid composed of records (rows) and fields (columns), where each column has preset configurable column types, resulting in a standardized data structure for the entire data database. It aims to effectively organize and display large amounts of data, combining the advantages of both database and spreadsheet technologies.
In the past, databases were intimidating to ordinary people. With common databases like MySQL, you had to go through a lengthy college-level learning process, studying command-line installation, creation, deletion, SQL queries, data insertion, manipulation, and other technical aspects that seemed to require advanced technical expertise, just to perform "kindergarten-level" operations on database systems.
The good news is that Big Data Multi-dimensional Databases possess almost all the benefits of databases, offering powerful functionality while being as easy to use as Excel.
Moreover, we know that 99% of digital software is built on relational databases at their core. This means that with Big Data Multi-dimensional Databases, you can easily implement various complex "business systems" - tasks that previously required a technical team of dozens can now be accomplished by just one person.
From personal tasks like financial accounting, knowledge management, and photo organization, to team activities like project management, real-time collaboration, and data sharing, to company-level operations like customized ERP, OA, CRM, CMS, data middle platform, sales management, procurement management, financial management, and HR management, Big Data Multi-dimensional Databases can meet all kinds of needs and desires in life and work.
