How is data stored within OneStream's database?

Data in OneStream's database is stored in a relational format that supports various data types and structures. This approach allows OneStream to efficiently manage and organize data in a way that maximizes performance and scalability. A relational database offers the ability to create complex relationships between different data sets, which is essential for financial reporting, consolidation, and analysis.

The use of a relational format means that OneStream can utilize structured query language (SQL) for data manipulation and retrieval, facilitating effective data management and reporting capabilities. This structure supports not only traditional financial data but also allows users to integrate various types of data, such as operational and non-financial metrics, enhancing the overall functionality of the platform.

Other formats, such as flat files or unstructured data, do not provide the same levels of efficiency or data integrity that a relational database structure does. Similarly, storing data only in encrypted format does not address the broader needs of data organization and retrieval within a sophisticated financial platform like OneStream.
