The Invention of Big Data
https://www.exasol.com/resource/the-invention-of-big-data/
The story of the “invention” of Big Data and a lesson from history. I’m currently writing my script for the Dataconomy event in London in two weeks’ time. Typically, I’ve assembled way more information than I need for a twenty minute talk, and so instead of talking really quickly and blitzing through all the slides, […]

https://www.exasol.com/resource/exasol-looking-back-at-2014/
Exasol has experienced extreme growth in 2014, and we are proud of it! Now and again, it’s always nice to stop what you are doing, review what has gone before and take stock. Indeed, I am reminded of a great poem by William Henry Davis called “Leisure” which summons us to do just that: What […]

Just How Self-Tuning And Easy-To-Use Is Exasol?
https://www.exasol.com/resource/exasol-easy-use-self-tuning/
Exasol is truly easy-to-use and self-tuning – not like certain other databases I could mention. This is one of my favourite pictures – at first sight it looks like a wonderful idea to have such flexibility but then you wonder – if your car is starting to slide into a wall at over 200 mph […]

Geospatial functions are particularly important in a number of industries
https://www.exasol.com/resource/geospatial-functions/
Geospatial functions: Adventures in Space as well as in Time I have put together another one of my (legendary?) videos on the subject of Geospatial functions. One of the problems with our product being so well-known for speed is that people often forget that it is good for more than just supernaturally fast table joins […]
