The geneticXchange discoveryHub for Oracle is a unique product that deals with the issues involved in creating a private local data platform for storing and analyzing biological data sources in a protected environment. 90% of life Science companies use Oracle for data storage and retrieval and we have created the Oracle Edition to enable our users to take advantage of some of the key technological advances that Oracle provides.

discoveryHub Oracle Edition provides the ability for Oracle clients to gain access to over 60 new life science data sources and to create localized cached life science data transparently within the Oracle relational environment. Additionally we fully support the use of the Oracle Application Server - the industry's fastest, most complete and integrated J2EE application server.
discoveryHub Approach to Oracle Database Population
The implementation of the discoveryHub as a middleware platform alongside complementary relational technology (for localized data) can be a powerful combination. This example shows how using the discoveryHub product it is easy to read a complex structure and store it as a large object in a single relational table, without the need to flatten the structure.
discoveryHub Approach to storing large objects in an Oracle database
Alternative more 'traditional' approach - also supported by discoveryHub
The discoveryHub approach to storing large objects in an Oracle database lends itself well to an environment with ever changing data structures, which makes it uniquely suited to handle the demands of the life sciences industry.
See our new white paper - discoveryHub Oracle edition to further understand how we approach modeling life sciences data within a relational enviroment.
