  • Columnar Storage in SQL Server 2012
    Columnar Storage in SQL Server 2012 Per-Ake Larson Eric N. Hanson Susan L. Price [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Abstract SQL Server 2012 introduces a new index type called a column store index and new query operators that efficiently process batches of rows at a time. These two features together greatly improve the performance of typical data warehouse queries, in some cases by two orders of magnitude. This paper outlines the design of column store indexes and batch-mode processing and summarizes the key benefits this technology provides to customers. It also highlights some early customer experiences and feedback and briefly discusses future enhancements for column store indexes. 1 Introduction SQL Server is a general-purpose database system that traditionally stores data in row format. To improve performance on data warehousing queries, SQL Server 2012 adds columnar storage and efficient batch-at-a- time processing to the system. Columnar storage is exposed as a new index type: a column store index. In other words, in SQL Server 2012 an index can be stored either row-wise in a B-tree or column-wise in a column store index. SQL Server column store indexes are “pure” column stores, not a hybrid, because different columns are stored on entirely separate pages. This improves I/O performance and makes more efficient use of memory. Column store indexes are fully integrated into the system. To improve performance of typical data warehous- ing queries, all a user needs to do is build a column store index on the fact tables in the data warehouse.

  • Fastest Analytics Database
    Exasol at a Glance Opening Introducing Exasol Three ways to use Exasol for acceleration Summary Performance limitations Performance is king for many mission-critical analytics workloads such as fraud and risk analysis, compliance reporting, and real-time customer analytics. Delayed time to analytics output can lead to catastrophic outcomes including increased risk exposure, steep fines, and customer churn. As more businesses become data-driven, more people than ever before need access to analytics. But current data warehouses seldom scale well with increased use, nor do they perform well enough to support those time-sensitive analytics workloads due to their suboptimal architecture. As a result, the analytics team must constantly tune Opening performance, a time-consuming and costly effort. Lack of support for modern analytics use cases Despite nearly four decades of data warehouse advancements, the majority of enterprises still struggle to achieve tangible The current business climate has many unforeseen questions, and organizations are ROI for their analytics investments. In fact, a number of recent increasingly turning to their data to find the best possible answers, fast. Those changing studies have shown that over 80% are not satisfied with the business dynamics drive the need for new types of analytics use cases such as ad hoc results of their data warehousing initiatives. and real-time analysis. Given the complex, time-sensitive nature of these modern analytics workloads, analytics teams must put other projects on hold to support them, resulting in even more manual performance tuning and reconfiguration. What is preventing data warehouses from delivering on their promise? Difficulty operationalizing data science workloads Despite the hype and investment going into machine learning, 85% of data science projects fail.

    UPTEC X 17 007 Examensarbete 30 hp September 2017 Optimisation of Ad-hoc analysis of an OLAP cube using SparkSQL Milja Aho Abstract Optimisation of Ad-hoc analysis of an OLAP cube using SparkSQL Milja Aho Teknisk- naturvetenskaplig fakultet UTH-enheten An Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) cube is a way to represent a multidimensional database. The multidimensional database often uses a star Besöksadress: schema and populates it with the data from a relational database. The purpose of Ångströmlaboratoriet Lägerhyddsvägen 1 using an OLAP cube is usually to find valuable insights in the data like trends or Hus 4, Plan 0 unexpected data and is therefore often used within Business intelligence (BI). Mondrian is a tool that handles OLAP cubes that uses the query language Postadress: MultiDimensional eXpressions (MDX) and translates it to SQL queries. Box 536 751 21 Uppsala Apache Kylin is an engine that can be used with Apache Hadoop to create and query OLAP cubes with an SQL interface. This thesis investigates whether the Telefon: engine Apache Spark running on a Hadoop cluster is suitable for analysing OLAP 018 – 471 30 03 cubes and what performance that can be expected. The Star Schema Benchmark Telefax: (SSB) has been used to provide Ad-Hoc queries and to create a large database 018 – 471 30 00 containing over 1.2 billion rows.
