I know that
vertica has a big powerfull in analytics, with his own functions and giving
tools to programme your own code in R and put inside vertica for example.

 

But could you access this functions since BI tools as QlickView or Pentaho, I mean, I know that you can connect Vertica with this tools, but I’m not sure if you can execute selects with analytics parameters directly.

 

Example : SELECT slice_time, symbol, TS_FIRST_VALUE (bid,'LINEAR') AS bid FROM tick_store4 TIMESERIES slice_time AS '2 seconds' OVER (PARTITION BY symbol ORDER BY ts);

And your "R" Funcions?

I believe you can.

vertica sees the BI tool as just another database client like vsql/jdbc/odbc..
This equivalent to a sql query.

Hi Dani,

Any tool using JDBC / ODBC / VSQL interface to talk to Vertica can access all functions of Vertica.
If you are writing a SQL from your client with ANALYTIC Function / UDF Function / R Function and all the functions are present in Vertica database, then they all are accessible.

Hope this helps
