Databases
MaxDB is SAP’s own relational database system. You can use it in SAP solutions as a less expensive alternative to databases from other vendors.
MaxDB is delivered as standard under NetWeaver Full Use License.
SAP liveCache technology is an object-based enhancement of the MaxDB database system. You can use SAP liveCache technology either as a normal relational database system, or as a main memory-based special database system. SAP liveCache OneDB combines these two options.
SAP liveCache technology is currently delivered as part of the SAP SCM/APO solution. Its use in other SAP solutions is in preparation.
