Upcoming Live Webcasts February & March

02/23/12 -  Teradata Database 13.10 SQL Solutions for Real-World Temporal Problems - #49872, at 1 pm ET / 10 am PT with Darrin Gaines

Data Warehouses are known for storing data over time, both historical point-in-time transactions as well as temporal data that is valid over a range of time. Storing this data is one thing, but retrieving it to answer critical business questions can be a Structured Query Language (SQL) challenge. For example, a business may want to identify suspicious credit card behavior by selecting all 4-hour time periods in which a card member's dollars purchased exceeded a threshold. These types of temporal problems can be tricky to solve, but this session focuses on Teradata 13.10 SQL features which both simplify the SQL coding and perform well. Key features to be used include: 1) Temporal Constraints, 2) EXPAND ON clause, and 3) Period Table Functions. The business problems in this session span industries, so you are bound to see problems that apply to your organization and how to solve them.

03/08/12 -  Teradata's New Priority Scheduler - #49899, at 1 pm ET / 10 am PT with Sorana Rabinovici and Carrie Ballinger

Don’t miss this opportunity for an in-depth discussion about the “new” Priority Scheduler for Teradata 14, available for the Linux SLES 11 operating system. Sorana, Teradata Architect of this new feature, will step you through how it works, while Carrie, author of the New Priority Scheduler Orange Book, will offer you some usability pointers to get you ready for the change-over.

During this session, you’ll get a close look at the architecture of this new feature, and will get acquainted with the new priority groupings and their characteristics. We’ll show how resources are divided up by the New Priority Scheduler and examine special benefits it will make available to your tactical workloads.

Whether you’re a DBA, a data warehouse architect, or just technically curious, you’ll leave this session with a clear understanding of how priorities will work in your Teradata systems tomorrow.

03/29/12 -  Simplifying Teradata Parallel Transporter Scripts with Templates - #49878, at 1 pm ET / 10 am PT with Nam Tran

Customer ease-of-use is of paramount importance to Teradata’s strategy, and this is no different in the Teradata extract/transform/load (ETL) application space. Teradata Parallel Transporter, a high-performance parallel and scalable extract and load utility for Teradata, extends its ease-of-use by enabling users to write simple job scripts through the use of “template” and “schema inference” techniques of Teradata Parallel Transporter.

This presentation will focus on how to use these techniques for building simple, reusable, and easy-to-maintain job scripts without sacrificing the power of Teradata Parallel Transporter. These techniques also form the backbone of the EasyLoader feature, which allows users to execute a set of commonly-used load jobs without using scripts, thus dramatically reducing development time for ETL processes. In addition, this session will reinforce the usage of Teradata Parallel Transporter job variables to better manage users’ job scripts in their test and production environments.
