Surprise, surprise … another year in the books. I genuinely contemplated copying and pasting the opening paragraph of last year’s blog, but here I am writing an original opening to close out the decade. Start strong, finish strong, right? And as we begin a new...
A critical part of any data warehouse is how new data is brought in and prepared for consumption. Depending on the order of events, this process is known either as ETL or ELT. So, what do these acronyms mean? ETL is the process of extracting data...
Business Information (BI) technology is a collection of hardware, protocols, toolsets and methods that is ever-changing. A common refrain has been “Buy IBM, or Microsoft, or Oracle, or SAP” because these vendors are perceived as safe investments—ways you couldn’t go wrong. The market has evolved...

There are things in this world that data engineers love and hate. For example, they love green and hate red. Green is good, but when you see red, the ETL job is dead! Data engineers also love seeing the word “success” because it subconsciously triggers...
It all started when I wanted to make a dashboard on the correlation between the brightness of the moon and crime activity. It’s one of those things everyone has heard in their life whenever crime or hospitalizations spike (or at least I have): “It must...
Matillion – cool name, cool tech. Before I get into the actual tech, I’ve just got to comment: Who comes up with all these company names? It seems like in the entire tech industry, the Coolest Names Award is going to big data. Okay back...

I haven't had a ton of time to really dig into the new features of Tableau 9, but I did want to start playing with the new Level of Detail (LOD) calculations to see what they could do. The result is simple yet entertaining. The...
