Live from the Teradata Partners Conference
Posted by Kevin Brown on October 16, 2008
Tableau is exhibiting at this year's Teradata Partners Conference. The booth has been "under siege" by attendees and we've had a hard time keeping up with demonstrations, information requests, etc. As this is our first Partners conference, two things are very apparent: 1) Teradata customers are fanatical about Teradata. I mean this in a positive way, of course. It's impressive to witness this level of enthusiasm in our industry; 2) There is a massive pent-up demand for visual analytics around the Teradata EDW.
Teradata Geospatial Extensions: a Case Study in User-Defined Types
Posted by Robert Morton on October 6, 2008
Many database systems are highly extensible through user-defined types (UDTs), methods (UDMs) and functions (UDFs). Database system vendors often provide UDFs to assist users with migrating from a competitor's DBMS to their own. But UDTs, UDFs and UDMs also provide domain-specific functionality, as seen in Teradata's Geospatial Extensions. Tableau offers a simple, powerful way to exploit these DBMS extensions that can enhance the analytical expressiveness of your visualizations.
