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

Annexure III -
Compliance MatrixProposed Inclusion in the tender document
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.

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

If the vendor is using discrete components for related
items, it is preferred that they are from same OEM to
ensure native integration.
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
related items, it is preferred that they are from
same OEM to ensure native integration but no
compromise with intrusion vulnerability. Vendor
has to specify the reason if they are using
different OEM on native integration. SDC will
provide the Intrusion Prevention solution

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
