Annexure III -

Compliance MatrixProposed Inclusion in the tender document

The proposed solution should support R-Tree index support and

the R-Tree should not emulated with recursive SQL Queries,

Reason:

Recursive SQL degrades the performance, consume machine resources

which is more evident when we perform complicated queries or query on

large data. R-Tree indexing should optimally use machine resources and

follows the bounding box concept for indexing which gives excellent

performance. It should eliminates the need to examine objects outside the

area of interest which otherwise would need to evaluate every object to find

those that match the query criteria. The Spatial indexes should not require

the grid size to be set, to determine the granularity of the data because if the

character of the data changes it generally have to rebuild it but R-Tree

implementation himself should be smart enough to readjust its internal

structures and optimize paths, as the data changes

The proposed solution should support R-Tree

index support and the R-Tree should not

emulated with recursive SQL Queries.

19IBM Corporation,

Bhopal

Annexure III -

Compliance MatrixProposed Inclusion in the tender document

In the proposed solution Spatial data type implementation

should be as actual data type and not as nested numeric array

in large object.

Reason:

The spatial being actual data type makes it easier to manipulate data and

write simple SQL queries. This should enable the end user to make use of

the Spatial data types just like standard data types, as part of the SQL's (

queries, functions and procedures ) without any special consideration.

It is SI's responsibility to select the database that

would fulfil the requirements and meet the SLA's

stated in the RFP document. Performance

degradation will only result in successful vendor

not being able to meet the SLA's thereby

resulting in penalty.

Reason:

Replication of spatial data should be supported in all editions of the

database.This is required for a tree structure system implementations to

make the solution most cost effective. The leaf nodes should also be

Replication of spatial data enable but a light edition will make the cost more

effective as the leaf nodes does not always require large system and

In the proposed solution Automatic validation of spatial data

should be there without requiring separate functions to be

executed to check the validity of inserted data.

Reason:

This helps in ensuring the data consistency thought the data life cycle.

Which also ensures that the data inserted at any node will be replicated

immediately only if it is valid data.Which means, it ensures the data

consistency across all nodes all time without any extra efforts.

Annexure III -

Compliance MatrixProposed Inclusion in the tender document

The proposed solution should support R-Tree index support and

the R-Tree should not emulated with recursive SQL Queries,

Reason:

Recursive SQL degrades the performance, consume machine resources

which is more evident when we perform complicated queries or query on

large data. R-Tree indexing should optimally use machine resources and

follows the bounding box concept for indexing which gives excellent

performance. It should eliminates the need to examine objects outside the

area of interest which otherwise would need to evaluate every object to find

those that match the query criteria. The Spatial indexes should not require

the grid size to be set, to determine the granularity of the data because if the

character of the data changes it generally have to rebuild it but R-Tree

implementation himself should be smart enough to readjust its internal

structures and optimize paths, as the data changes

In the proposed solution Spatial data type implementation

should be as actual data type and not as nested numeric array

the Spatial data types just like standard data types, as part of the SQL's (

queries, functions and procedures ) without any special consideration.

If the vendor is using discrete components for related

items, it is preferred that they are from same OEM to

As per NSS/Major Security Audit report which specifically

mentions that solution of Firewall and IPS being from the same

OEM means that they have the same security

approach/database and if the firewall is compromised than

chances are that IPS too would be compromised because

attacker will try to exploit the NIPS with knowledge of Firewall

Vendor vulnerabilities. Hence as part of layered security

approach there should always be Firewall and IPS from different

OEM's.

If the vendor is using discrete components for

The proposed solution should support R-Tree index support and

the R-Tree should not emulated with recursive SQL Queries,

Reason:

Recursive SQL degrades the performance, consume machine resources

which is more evident when we perform complicated queries or query on

large data. R-Tree indexing should optimally use machine resources and

follows the bounding box concept for indexing which gives excellent

performance. It should eliminates the need to examine objects outside the

area of interest which otherwise would need to evaluate every object to find

those that match the query criteria. The Spatial indexes should not require

the grid size to be set, to determine the granularity of the data because if the

character of the data changes it generally have to rebuild it but R-Tree

implementation himself should be smart enough to readjust its internal

structures and optimize paths, as the data changes

queries, functions and procedures ) without any special consideration.
