In a Relationship?

a

NoSQL

BigData, NoSQL… => No Microsoft?

• Cheap Storage • Cloud Storage • Open Source data projects (Hadoop)

Big Data => keeping / getting more data

• NoSQL data projects • Mostly open source• Sharded replicas

NoSQL => schema-lite, scalable storage

Locating the data

Your source

• in SQL Server• on desktops

Public source

• you find it

Private source

• you buy it

Finding Data in Data Markets

• Windows Azure Data Market• DataMarket.com• Factual.com• InfoChimps

Data Services

Database Lifecycle Management

• Evaluating current processes• Improving processes• Adding new tools– SSDT

• Data synchronization processes

Storing the data

• SQL Server – can use partitioning for scalability

Relational

• Specialized data types• XML, Hierarchy, Filestream/Filetable, Geospatial• Columnstore index

Beyond relational via relational

• OLAP cubes / Mining Models• Tabular models

Multi-dimensional / in-memory

DEMO COLUMNSTORE, XML, FILETABLE

Data Processing

Valuing the data

• De-duplicating• Validating• Correcting errors• Aggregating• Ranking / rating– Social rating ,i.e. Yelp-like– Social scoring, i.e. Freebase-like

DEMODATA QUALITY SERVICES

Types of Data Quality Projects• Exact matches WHERE = , WHERE <>, WHERE IN

• LIKE % -- string matchingT-SQL scripts (boolean

match)

• CONTAINSFull-text matching

(semantic word match)

• SEMANTICSIMIALARITIESTABLESemantic Search (semantic phrase match)

• List belowSSIS tasks - (transactional,

multi-valued matching)

• Knowledge Base - rules/matches• Data Quality project - clean / correct dataDQS (KB matching)

• Versioned Entities, Attributes and RulesMDS (One view of truth)

Data Presentation

• View-only client• View & manipulate (hide-only) client• View & query (aggregate) client• View & query (drill through) client• View & mash-up (add new data) client• View & update client• Timeliness of data (latency)• Beauty of data

But, does it work in Excel?

DEMOTHE POWER OF EXCEL

From Pivot tables to Visualized Data Mash-ups with Mining

What about the UDM?

• UDM / Data Mining is fully supported in SSAS• Must be installed in this mode– Mutually exclusive to Tabular mode

• But, should you use it anymore?
