The new Virtual Data Warehouse software is ready!
The latest version of the Virtual Data Warehouse (v1.6.2.) is now live, and can be downloaded here: https://github.com/RoelantVos/Virtual-Data-Warehouse/releases/tag/v1.6.2.
One of the important things to mention is that it is not necessary to have a database or platform to generate code with this version.
VDW 1.6.2 does not need a database to function, and comes with a library of examples installed to run some ETL generation straight away.
In addition, there is as full library of Data Vault patterns made available to play around with.
Have a look at what’s possible in this video covering this new release.
Taken from the release notes:
- Upgraded to be compatible with version 1.2 of the schema for Data Warehouse Automation
- All patterns updated for compliance with the above
- Removal of Test Data, Referential Integrity and Point-in-Time (delivery) screens. These have been replaced by patterns / templates.
- Quality of life improvements such as tooltips, better auto aligning of grids and sizing of GUI / screen controls. It just looks and works better and easier.
- Sample library ‘examples’ containing the sample ‘profiler’ data warehouse provided upon installation. No need to first use TEAM to generate examples.
- Added a few custom functions to the templating engine: stringcompare, stringdiff, now, randomstring, randomnumber, randomdate.
- Feature to reuse existing TEAM connection files, and displaying the connection key on each pattern screen. Connections can be assigned to patterns.
- Event log and screen to view it.
- Feature to select, change and load TEAM environments and automatically upload the associated settings.
