The Sybase RAP data model supports the storage and fast retrieval of historical and real-time market data, reference information on financial instruments, and information on market indexes used as benchmarks in performance analysis.
The RAP package includes two similar physical data models stored in PowerDesigner: one for the VLDBServer database and another for the RAPCache database. The only difference between the models lies in the indexes that are database-specific and must be defined individually for each target database. All information provided below is applicable to each of the models that, for the purpose of this description, are both referred to as RAP data model, or model.
You can open and view the data models using PowerDesigner 11.1, which is a component of Risk Analytics Platform.
