Using DashDB as a database (instead of a Data warehouse)
<p>Note: This is not a programming question (at least at the moment). Once I start progressing further would seek assistance from the community on programming questions. Feel free to delete this, if this question is deemed inappropriate.</p>

<p>I am trying to start using DashDB as a Database on Bluemix. The DashDB data would be consumed by a Java/Java EE app</p>

<p>I am not planning to use this as a Data warehouse.</p>

<p>DashDB as I understand it has two flavours - Regular (using this term loosely here to refer to the standard offering ) and DashDB Transactional.</p>

<p>DashDB Transaction, i believe is used for transactional workloads.</p>

<ol>
<li>I wanted to understand if JPA would play well with DashDB. I am unable to locate good information in this space.</li>
<li>Should we use denormalized design for both DashDB Regular and Transactional?</li>
