Abstract
The conception of storing and managing data directly in RAM appeared some time ago but in spite of very good efficiency, it was impossible to massive implementation because of hardware limitations. Currently, it is possible to store whole databases in memory as well as there are some mechanisms to organize pieces of data as in-memory databases. It has been the interesting issue how this type of databases behaves when accessing via JDBC. Hence we decided to test their performance in terms/sense of the time of SQL query execution. For this purpose TPC Benchmark\(^{\mathrm {TM}}\) H (TPC-H) was applied. In our research we focused on the open source systems such as Altibase, H2, HyperSQL, MariaDB, MySQL Memory.

This mechanism is an unpleasant necessity and is burdened with a large drop in system performance, but allows to maintain the system’s ability to continue operating in the critical moments.
