In today’s information landscape, a large amount of data must be processed that does not have the typical format of a relational database, but is unstructured (such as videos, XML documents). SAP DB database instance type Document Server was developed on the basis of the SAP DB OLTP relational database system to ensure that as much of this unstructured data as possible can be processed outside the OLTP database. This can improve the performance of the OLTP database.
One application example is the SAP Content Server.
