Jim Knicely, Vertica Field Chief Technologist
October 22, 2020
The TIMESERIES clause in Vertica makes it easy to list all of the gap days (that is, those that are missing) from a series of dates. Say I have this simple date series: As you can see, there are several dates missing from the series (2020-10-30, 2020-11-02, 2020-11-03 and 2020-11-04). I can list these absent...

Things to do whilst confined to barracks due to COVID-19 For those who know me well, having worked in IT for four decades, will know that I can be a bit of a Luddite when it comes to new-fangled technology. Give me a character-based, green-screen PuTTY application over any pointy-clicky interface. Let me use vsql...
Making a Difference with Analytics – Inspiring Human Interest Stories
Joy King, VP Product & GTM Strategy, Vertica
June 18, 2020
I wake up before the sun rises, head to my home office, parse through the emails that have flowed in overnight, and look at my calendar to prepare for my day.

For a number of years, when presenting one of my favourite Vertica demos, in which I talk about tracking commercial aircraft in real time, I would typically start with a short, 30-second video clip to get the audience’s attention. The inspiration for this clip came about when I was staring aimlessly into the blue sky...

Apache Kafka seems to be everywhere these days. I’m feeling a bit surrounded by Kafka right now, in fact, like I’m at the center of a convergence of the planets, and data flowing through Kafka is the gravitational pull. Let me give you an idea of what I mean. So, Vertica just announced the release...

1 – Why Would You Do Machine Learning in a Database?
Waqas Dhillon, Product Manager - Machine Learning, Vertica
April 22, 2019
Co-authored with Paige Roberts. A lot of modern scalable analytical databases like Vertica allow you to do machine learning data analytics from end to end, right in the database, rather than moving and transforming the data first into something like a Spark dataframe or a Python data structure.
