Analytical Ecosystem

A data lab is a separate dedicated space within a production data warehouse for agile development of new analytic queries that can combine personal, ad hoc, or temporary data with production data. Use a data lab to quickly analyze, reorganize, model, and prototype a sample of real-time data, and experiment without any risk to production data.

A data lab benefits your organization in the following ways:
  • Model data to see value before it is formally incorporated into the data warehouse
  • Analyze data to see if it supports a prototype or proof of concept
  • Access production space quickly and easily
  • Manage workloads for data separately from production service level goals
  • Explore data in production tables while maintaining data integrity
  • Evaluate data on a short-term basis, such as for a merger or acquisition
  • Reduce the database administrator workload by allowing users to manage data independently
