Vertica Quick Tip: Get Rid of all Those Q’s

Three 3D arrows, different colors pointing in different directions

This blog post was authored by Jim Knicely. If you guys are like me I prefer the CLI. So admintools is my friend. However, at many client sites I see admintools is kind of ugly. So to get it looking a little better: Run this in Linux: export NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS=1 And add the command to your .bashrc file so the change is applied every time you log on! echo export NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS=1 >> ~/.bashrc Have Fun!

Do you have a table with critical information such as SIEM events or credit card transactions? Do you want to be able to block user access to UPDATE/DELETE rows in those tables? From version 12.0.0, you can do this by setting the tables as IMMUTABLE. This means you can only insert data and not modify...

High Availability for a Vertica in Eon Mode Database with Read-Only Mode

sruthi anumula, Senior Database Support Engineer
January 9, 2023

When Vertica is deployed in Eon Mode, there are two major requirements for high availability: maintaining quorum and shard coverage. If either of them is lost, the whole cluster goes down. Before going into details, let us understand what quorum and shard coverage mean. Quorum: In Eon Mode, more than half of the primary nodes...

How to Quickly Install Vertica on Large Clusters

sruthi anumula, Senior Database Support Engineer
December 19, 2022

Vertica 12.0.2 introduces a new feature that allows you to install Vertica in parallel on all hosts rather than one at a time as in earlier releases. This reduces the installation time in large clusters. To use this feature, run the --parallel-no-prompts flag with the install_vertica command. This flag can be used only when passwordless...
