The Benefits of Redshift’s data warehouse service

 There has been a high increase in businesses that have moved towards managed data warehouse services in a complete manner. The only reason for this is the flexibility and ease of maintenance which is offered by the said services. One such service is Amazon Redshift which makes a strong case for itself in the field of data warehouse services simply because of its ability to execute very complex queries and that too, over millions of rows with fast and very quick results.

The underlying architecture of Copy Command Redshift contains a cluster of instances which a user can customize that is based on the budget and use case. All that a customer has to pay for is the storage and computing power that is being used and in return, the said customer is relieved of all the pain that comes with maintaining the instances, completely. 



Redshift is a warehouse of data and therefore it is an obvious need for pushing into it, transferred data generated at various sources. The first option is to use Redshift’s INSERT INTO command. However, this command is best suited for inserting a single row or maybe for inserting multiple rows in case there are intermittent streams of data.

You can never exploit any sort of parallel processing and it is also not optimized for throughput. Therefore, there is an intermittent need for a different command that one can use for inserting bulk data at the maximum speed and throughput possible. The specific parameters relating to COPY command,Redshift has developed, can be looked into detail and exact details of executing the command can also be learnt.

The Functioning of Data Lake Built on Amazon S3

Image
 The Simple Storage Service (S3) of Amazon is a cloud-based data storage service that stores data in its native format – unstructured, semi-structured, or structured. Here, metadata and objects in data files are stored in buckets. For uploading files or metadata, the objects have to be first moved to Amazon S3. After this step is completed, permissions can be set on the metadata or the related objects stored in the buckets (containers) and selected personnel are given access to them. They are given the authority to decide where the logs and objects will be stored on Amazon S3. Various competencies can be used for building an S3 data lake on Amazon S3. These include media data processing applications, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), big data analytics, and high-performance computing (HPC). All these used in tandem give organizations access to critical business intelligence and analytics as well as unstructured data sets from S3 data lake. There are several bene...

Bulk Insert for Microsoft SQL Server Table

Image
 Why should you use Bulk Insert to copy massive volumes of data into a Microsoft SQL table or view? It is because the process is fast, efficient, and secure. An example will better explain the Bulk Insert task. Suppose your business has million-row product types stored on a mainframe. However, to populate web pages, your e-commerce system uses SQL Server, and every night you have to update the SQL Server table with the master product list located in the mainframe. To make the task of updating the table very easy and quick, you can save the product list in a tab-delimited format and use the Bulk Insert task to copy the data directly to the SQL Server table. To make sure that the high-speed copying is not disrupted, you should refrain from performing transformations on the data while it is moving from the source file to the table or view. Considerations before taking up a Bulk Insert task •Data only from a text file can be transferred into a SQL Server table or view by the Bulk Inse...

SAP Data Lake – Evolution and Architecture

Image
 April 2020 saw the launch of the SAP HANA Data Lake designed to further increase the capabilities of SAP of its data storage capabilities. The goal was to provide storage options to customers at very affordable rates. The package has SAP HANA native storage extension as well as the SAP data lake incorporated in it. This cloud-based relational data lake of the SAP IQ ecosystem has features at par with the leaders in this field namely Microsoft Azure or Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3). Architecture of the SAP Data Lake The unique SAP data lake architecture resembles a pyramid with the top, middle, and bottom segments having specific storage capabilities. At the top section of the structure is all data that is critical for organizations and hence the cost of data storage here is the highest in the SAP data lake. This data is frequently accessed and processed for operational requirements. The middle of the pyramid stores data that is not accessed frequently but not insignificant e...
