Relational databases provide a wealth of functionality to a wide range of applications. Yet, there are tasks for which they are less than optimal, for instance when processing becomes more complex (e.g., matching regular expressions) or the data is less structured (e.g., text or long strings). In this demonstration we show the benefit of using specialized hardware for such tasks and highlight the importance of a flexible, reusable mechanism for extending database engines with hardware-based operators.
