  • 03/18/10 -  Structured Method for Tuning Teradata SQL (Live Webcast) - #45703, at 1 pm US Eastern/10 am US Pacific with Arnie Van Wyck and David Gardner

    SQL performance is vital for driving value from a data warehouse. With today's growing query complexity, optimizing SQL can be a daunting task. This session provides a fundamental method for SQL tuning that has been used and refined through thousands of tuning exercises. The structure and process in this method generates a context that minimizes the complexities and gets to the root of the performance issues, which enables faster remediation. Further, the method provides a consistent, repeatable process that can be leveraged across the organization from the end user to database administrator. In addition to the structured method, the presenter will share insight on typically seen performance problems and provide sample remedies. This provides the attendee with insight to commence their tuning efforts.

04/01/10 -  De-mystifying LDAP and SSO - Teradata Database External Authentication (Live Webcast) - #45702, at 1 pm US Eastern/10 am US Pacific with Jim Browning

Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory integration and Single Sign-on (SSO) are two separate, distinct, and often confusing technologies for external authentication and authorization of user access to a Teradata system. Properly used, these technologies play an important role in the effective integration of Teradata systems with corporate security processes and infrastructure. This session will discuss the key differences between these two features and describe in detail the capabilities, functionality, and benefits provided by each . We will provide an overview of the steps required to configure the Teradata Generic Security Services subsystem properties to work with an LDAP infrastructure and we will discuss the steps required for configuration of the Kerberos subsystem to support SSO.

04/15/10 -  Time Series Analysis using SQL with Ordered Analytic Functions (Live Webcast) - #46063, at 1 pm US Eastern/10 am US Pacific with Darrin Gaines

Data Warehouses often contain data in effect for a time period, denoted by start and end dates within a row, or denoted by Teradata 13.0 PERIOD data types. With time-period data comes a set of frequently asked business questions. For example, of home, auto, and life insurance policies, for what ranges of time have my customers 1) had zero policies active, or 2) at least one active, or 3) multiple active? Solutions to business questions of this type are not obvious using SQL. However, this session will show how to solve these problems with SQL instead of using stored procedures or exporting data to another tool. See unique ways to apply Ordered Analytical Functions SUM(), MIN(), and MAX(). Also, the new Teradata 13.0 RESET WHEN clause will be applied. The performance of the Ordered Analytical Function solutions vs. other solutions will be highlighted by showing DBQL metrics of Elapsed Time, CPU Time, IO Count, and Spool Usage.

05/06/10 -  Time Series Analysis using SQL with Ordered Analytic Functions (Live Webcast) - #46084, at 1 pm US Eastern/10 am US Pacific with Dan Fritz and John Lind

Have you found Capacity Planning to be an unfruitful chore? Do you find yourself continually surprised by new applications surfacing on your data warehouse with little warning or poorly defined resource requirements? Is Capacity Planning only done as an eleventh hour means to budget forecasting? Effective Capacity Management is a critical aspect of a solid Performance Management Foundation.

This presentation will define the concepts of Capacity Management. We will review the data required to establish basic capacity plans, and talk about turning basic Capacity Planning into robust Capacity Management. We’ll examine many uncommon considerations that are necessary to be effective with Capacity Management, such as: operating windows, workload variations, and hardware changes. We’ll also review a customer example of Capacity Forecasting, which will show all of these advanced concepts in practice

05/20/10 -  Teradata 12.0 Certification Exams – What's New & How to Prepare (Live Webcast) - #46084, at 1 pm US Eastern/10 am US Pacific with Alison Torres & Julie Huber
