Which NoSQL DB is best fitted for OLTP financial systems?


There is no conceivable circumstance where I would use a NOSQl database for anything to do with finance. You simply don't have the data integrity needed or the internal controls. Dow Jones uses SQL Server to do its transactions and if they can properly design a high performance, high transaction Relational datbase so can you. You will have to invest in some people who know what they are doing though.


One has to think about the problem differently. The notion of transaction consistency stems from the UD (update) in CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete). noSQL DBs are CRAP (Create, Replicate, Append, Process) oriented, working by accretion of time-stamped data. With the right domain model, there is no reason that auditability and the equivalent of referential integrity can't be achieved.


The global-storage based NoSQL databases - Cache from InterSystems and GT.M from FIS - are used extensively in financial services and have been for many years. Cache in particular is used for both the core database and for OLTP.
