IronPython vs. Python vs. SAS Federation Server vs. SQL Comparison Chart

IronPython is an open-source implementation of the Python programming language which is tightly integrated with .NET. IronPython can use .NET and Python libraries, and other .NET languages can use Python code just as easily. Experience a more interactive .NET and Python development experience with Python Tools for Visual Studio. IronPython is an excellent addition to .NET, providing Python developers with the power of the .NET. Existing .NET developers can also use IronPython as a fast and expressive scripting language for embedding, testing, or writing a new application from scratch. The CLR is a great platform for creating programming languages, and the DLR makes it all the better for dynamic languages. Also, the .NET (base class library, presentation foundation, etc.) gives developers an amazing amount of functionality and power. IronPython uses Python syntax and standard libraries and so your Python code will need to be updated accordingly.

Create federated source data names to enable users to access multiple data sources via the same connection. Use the web-based administrative console for simplified maintenance of user access, privileges and authorizations. Apply data quality functions such as match-code generation, parsing and other tasks inside the view. Improved performance with in-memory data caches & scheduling. Secured information with data masking & encryption. Lets you keep application queries current and available to users, and reduce loads on operational systems. Enables you to define access permissions for a user or group at the catalog, schema, table, column and row levels. Advanced data masking and encryption capabilities let you determine not only who’s authorized to view your data, but also what they see on an extremely granular level. It all helps ensure sensitive data doesn’t fall into the wrong hands.
