Chapter 2: Data Model

Overview

The Risk Analytics Platform version 2.0 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 RAP repository (a Sybase IQ 12.6 database) and another for the RAP in-memory cache (a Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise 15.0 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.
