The Best Query Tool Works on all Systems

When you possess a tool like Nexus, you have access to every system in your enterprise! The Nexus Query Chameleon is the only tool that works on all systems. Its Super Join Builder allows for the ERwin Logical Model to be loaded, and then Nexus shows tables and views visually. It then guides users to show what joins to what. As users choose the tables and columns they want in their report, Nexus builds the SQL for them with each click of the mouse. Nexus was designed for Teradata and Hadoop, but works on all platforms. Nexus even converts table structures between vendors, so querying and managing multi-vendor platforms is transparent. Even if you only work with one system, you will find that the Nexus is the best query tool you have ever used. If you work with multiple systems, you will be even more amazed.

Did you ever even imagine that you would be able to join tables from different systems? Above, we are joining a Teradata table to an Oracle table to a SQL Server table. Just checkmark the columns you want on your report and Nexus handles everything behind the scenes. Nexus builds the SQL, converts the table structures and moves the tables to the Hub system. The report comes flying back with no intervention from the user. That is just another amazing feature of Nexus. Page 7

People who see this next feature can't believe their eyes. Nexus allows the user to select which system they want to process the data. In our last example, the Hub was Teradata. We just changed the Hub to SQL Server (above). Now, the tables from the three systems will be converted, moved and joined on the SQL Server system. Nexus allows you to join tables from any system in your enterprise (both on-premises and cloud), but then tops it off by allowing you to process the joins on any system in your enterprise. Need extra processing power? Spin up a server on the cloud and make it the hub. Page 8

Nexus allows you to run a join or any query in the Super Join Builder and save the answer set as a table on any system in your enterprise (on-premises or cloud). This is a fantastic way to create a data mart or to save data to your sandbox. It is also great for building a test system. And Nexus makes it so easy. Just click on the "Create Table" button and tell Nexus the system and the table name you desire, and that new table and its data will be there when the query is finished.

Nexus allows you to run a join or any query in the Super Join Builder and then save the query in the “Save Join” menu. The user can then pull up the exact same query in the Super Join Builder with the “Load Join” menu. A user can also create many different Super Join Builder queries and pass them to other Nexus users in their enterprise. This allows for the experienced individuals to take care of the less experienced.

Nexus allows you to run a join or any query in the Super Join Builder and Import an Excel Spreadsheet(s) that can be joined with production tables. Users can also import Excel Spreadsheets directly to any system as a table. With the ability to load an Excel Spreadsheet or to join an Excel Spreadsheet with other tables in the Super Join Builder the Nexus is going to Excel with business users! In the example above we are joining a Teradata table, Oracle table and an Excel Spreadsheet.

Do you know how long it normally takes to convert the table structures and move data between systems? Sometimes this is a month long project, but not with Nexus. Just right click on any database in your systems tree and choose "Move Data". Pick the target system in which you want the tables and data to move and then checkmark the tables you want to move. Press the blue arrow and the tables with a checkmark move to the Target system. Press Execute and watch the tables light up in green with every successful move. If there is a problem, the table(s) will light up in red. Page 12

Nexus makes the Servers Talk Directly

SQL Server Teradata Hadoop

Oracle Redshift

Whenever Nexus converts and moves data from one system to another the data never lands in a landing zone. When Nexus performs cross-system joins between systems the data moves directly from server to server. Whether you install Nexus on your desktop, laptop, Citrix server or access Nexus via a remote desktop on the cloud, there is no data passing through the Nexus. All data movement, conversions and cross-system joins are done directly between the big systems. Nexus uses Progress Data Direct drivers to establish a connection between systems and this allows the big systems to talk directly. This is the secret sauce that allows Nexus to move billions of rows from one system to another! Page 14

This is a unique concept because any and all answer sets can be re-queried by Nexus inside your desktop. Above, we have four answer sets. We right clicked on answer set 4 (Result 4 – in red). Now, we can click on any tab above and get Aggregates, OLAP, Rank, Grouping Sets, Quantiles, Top, Sort, Join, Charts/Graphs, Dynamic Charts or a Dashboard.

Just right click on any Teradata database and choose "Hound Dog Compression". Pick the tables you want compressed and move them over by hitting the blue arrow. Hit Execute. Nexus evaluates Teradata tables and applies the perfect algorithm to attain the maximum compression savings. This feature alone has saved hundreds of companies millions of dollars over the past 10 years. Nexus usually gains about 35% space savings on average. There are even more savings on larger tables. There is no down side to Multi-Value compression because the tables are about 35% smaller, they don't need to be decompressed, they move faster into memory and they save about 35% of your entire system's space. Nexus auto-compresses tables when they move from other systems, for example when Oracle or SQL Server tables are moved to Teradata. Page 16

Then choose the system and database you want to compare and synchronize with as your Target system. The Nexus will attempt to line-up the tables based on their name. The user can drag and drop to align the tables perfectly if needed. Checkmark the tables you want compared and synched and hit Execute. The Nexus will show the results of the comparison and allow the user to synchronize the data.

The Percent Rank will rank the rows in a percentage. For example, in row 3 (0.333) means only 33% of the rows did better than that row for Product_ID 1000. We partitioned by Product_ID so all three ranks start over on Product_ID breaks.

We instantly received three more answer sets (in yellow and pink) for Grouping Sets, Group by Cube and Group by Rollup. What is truly intelligent is that we re-queried Result 4 to get the three new reports and did so inside Nexus. The data warehouse was not re-queried, but instead the Nexus used the processor and memory inside the PC to calculate the analytics. All answer sets are saved to the Garden of Analysis so users can get additional reports by merely clicking on the appropriate tab and selecting the columns they want in the varying templates. Why not have your own data warehouse inside Nexus? Page 63

Since we did the optional Partition By on Product_ID and also changed the Quantile Groups to 3 (Tertiles) we see all of the Product_ID Daily_Sales together with either a 0, 1 or 2 quantile. We performed the Group By on Daily_Sales (DESC) so our top selling Daily_Sales got the 0, followed by the 1 and the 2 for the Daily_Sales that were less. Then, we start over on the Product_ID change and the calculations begin again.

The tabs above work as a team on a single query. Each tab is designed for a different purpose. The next series of slides will explain how to use each tab effectively, in order to build a single query quickly and efficiently. Each time you change something in a tab, the SQL being built is changed to build the query as you desire.

Nexus Chameleon

The Objects tab shows your objects (tables and views) and provides a menu of what other objects are joinable.

Create cube Select * Order_Table Select * Create cube w/ columns Customer_Number Integer Order_Number Integer Customer_Name Varchar(20) Customer_Number Integer Phone_Number Char(8) Order_Date Date Order_Total Decimal (10,2)

The Objects tab is the first screen you will always see when you right click on a table and choose "Super Join Builder". It shows the table you right clicked on in your systems tree (visually). You can then select from the Add Join drop down to see a menu of what other objects can be joined. If you click on an object in the Add Join drop down it will be joined. You can also click the Cube drop down menu to automatically select all objects that are joinable (instantly). Each time you checkmark a column in an object the SQL is automatically built and that column will be on your report. Of course you can always check all columns in an object by putting a checkmark in the Select * check box of an object. Above, we are joining the Customer_Table to the Order_Table and have put a checkmark on the Customer_Name, Order_Date and Order_Total. Page 116

The Columns tab allows you to see the column on your Report Columns report, and to change their order. It shows the columns you have selected on the report (at the top), because you Customer_Name Order_Date Order_Total placed a checkmark in them from the objects tab. It also shows you the columns you did not checkmark (at the bottom). You can move the columns around, throw them in the trash, bring up columns that were not selected, and the SQL will change to reflect exactly what Additional Columns you want your report columns to look like.

Customer_Number Phone_Number Order_Number Customer_Number

The columns tab allows you to rearrange columns on your report. You can drag and drop columns to change their order. Notice that the columns are color coded to match the color of the table (in the objects tab) that they came from. Columns at the top are the ones you selected. The columns at the bottom are the ones you did not select. You can throw columns at the top in the trash can and they are no longer on your report, as they will reappear at the bottom. You can even move columns from the bottom up to the top and they will then be on your report. You can even hit Ctrl click on one column and then shift click on another and they will all highlight (so you can throw them all in the trash). With each column change, the SQL is automatically adjusted to reflect the order of the columns you want on the report.

The Sorting Tab allows you to double-click on any column that you want to use in the ORDER BY statement of the SQL. This essentially sorts the report. The Report Columns shows the columns you selected to be on your report. The Additional Columns shows the columns you did not select to be on your report. You can however choose from any of these columns to be the sort key. Double click on a column, or click-and-drag it up, and it will be a sort key. You can have multiple sort keys and you can always choose either ASC or DESC mode. Above, we are going to sort the answer set by Order_Date in ascending mode.

The SQL begins being built the first time you checkmark a column in the objects tab, and changes with each change you request from any of the other tabs. We originally requested Customer_Name, Order_Date and Order_Total in the Objects tab. We sorted by Order_Date ASC in the Sorting Tab. We added a WHERE clause for Customer_Number 11111111 in the WHERE tab. This has been reflected in the SQL above. Nexus always generates the SQL perfectly, no matter what system you are using.

The Sales_Table was first sorted by Product_ID, Sale_Date. Then, the Cumulative Sum (CSUM) began. We made 48850 for the first row so 48850.50 is our first CSUM value. Then, we made 54500.22 so 48850 + 54500.22 equals 103350.62. The values from each Daily_Sales entry was continually added.

When performing a cross-system join the tables must be moved and joined on one of the systems. We call the system where the tables will be joined as the Hub. In this case, we have decided to move the Oracle table to Teradata, temporarily for the life of the join. One of the steps is to define how the data will be moved from Oracle to Teradata. You need to decide whether or not to use Lite Speed (TPT Stream – TPump) or to use Warp Speed (TPT Load – FastLoad). You also need to list your Teradata TDPID and the working database where the Oracle temporary table can be moved to and joined from. When everything is filled out, just hit the Next button (big blue arrow) at the bottom of the screen.

You now have three tables (from different systems) in the Super Join Builder. You have already defined the joining columns and your data movement strategies. Just click on the columns you want on the report and hit Execute. The SQL has already been built and the Oracle and SQL Server tables will be moved temporarily to the Teradata system, where they will be joined. Because we only selected Last_Name and First_Name from the Oracle table and Claim_Date and Claim_Amt from the SQL Server table, only those columns (plus the join condition column – Subscriber_No) will be moved to Teradata.
