Agile Data Warehousing, Building a Virtualized ODS” with Kent Graziano - DAMA PDX
Standard Insurance Center Auditorium

Greetings Portland Lovers of Data, join your local Data User Group downtown on Thursday Feb 16th to learn about “Agile Data Warehousing, Building a Virtualized ODS” with Kent Graziano, Senior Technical Evangelist with Snowflake Computing and the author of The Data Warrior blog.

This is our usual monthly Portland Data Management User Group Chapter meeting.

For more information and to register go to: http://www.damapdx.org/ or our new meetup page at: https://www.meetup.com/PDX-Data-Engineering/events/237139605/. Please register at one of those sites, so that we have a count for our usual continental breakfast. Walk-ins are welcome.

Presentation Summary

In order to meet timelines to fulfill urgent, unmet reporting needs, we built a virtualized Operational Data Store (ODS). This allowed us to deliver new objects, quickly and incrementally, so we could quickly show the business users their data. In order to limit the need for refactoring in later stages of the data warehouse development, we chose to build this virtualization layer on top of a Type 2 persistent staging layer. All of this was done using the free Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler (SDDM) against a MS SQL Server Database.

In this talk, we will show you the architecture for this approach, the rationale, and then some of the tricks used in SDDM to build all the stage tables and views very quickly. In the end you will see actual SQL code for the virtual ODS that you can leverage for your own projects.

Goals

• Learn what a Virtual ODS is and how it can help you be Agile

• Learn a data warehouse architecture that can be implemented incrementally and in layers

• How to quickly build pattern based stage tables in SDDM

• How to build complex, pattern based views in SDDM

• Tips on how to use analytic functions to create virtual columns

• See examples of how to embed change data capture into a view-based ELT loading architecture
