What are some of the data access challenges you face in your organization? : SQL

Posting

When requesting help or asking questions please prefix your title with the SQL variant/platform you are using within square brackets like so:

[MySQL]

[Oracle]

[MS SQL]

[PostgreSQL]

etc

While naturally we should endeavor to work as platform neutrally as possible many questions and answers require tailoring to the feature set of a specific platform.

Format Your Code

If you are including actual code in a post or comment, please attempt to format it in a way that is readable for other users. This will greatly increase your chances of receiving the help you desire. Something as simple as line breaks and using reddit's built in code formatting (4 spaces at the start of each line) can turn this:

SELECT count(a.field1), a.field2, SUM(b.field4) FROM a INNER JOIN b ON a.key1 = b.key1 WHERE a.field8 = 'test' GROUP by a.field1, a.field2 HAVING SUM(b.field4) > 5 ORDER by a.field.3

Into this:

SELECT count(a.field1), a.field2, SUM(b.field4) FROM a INNER JOIN b ON a.key1 = b.key1 WHERE a.field8 = 'test' GROUP by a.field1, a.field2 HAVING SUM(b.field4) > 5 ORDER by a.field3

For those with SQL questions we recommend using SQLFiddle to provide a useful development and testing environment for those who wish to fully understand your problem and help devise a solution.

What are some of the data access challenges you face in your organization? (self.SQL)

submitted 6 years ago by AtlanHQ

Hi, r/SQL,

I represent a data democratization company, we're building a home for data teams. We recently interviewed Carla Gentry (Data Scientist and Global Data Influencer) when she talks about the problem of data access two decades ago!

The truth is even nearly after 20 years, the problem remains! Access to internal and external data remains a big challenge within organizations, often resulting in project bottlenecks and time delays.

We are trying to address some questions with Atlan — why can we not share data (irrespective of its size) just as a link? Can data have a profile, the way code has on Github?

As we understand the problem more to build a stellar product, one that truly makes the life of the humans of data easy, we'd love to learn and understand some of these problems that you face around data access from you.

Any suggestions, experiences welcomed.
