Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Aginity is the tool we use in order to query the database. We [use] it for IBM Pure Data (Netezza), Hortonworks and we had some trials with DB2. We use it in order to see all objects' metadata, to review DDL and DML on existing structures, and to see information regarding columns, keys, distribution, and so on.

Pros

See the list of tables, views, procedures
help preparing some queries, such as select top 100, reclaims, etc
run many queries all together and monitor the execution of each of them

Cons

with Hortonworks, you have to modify manually some settings in order to correctly see the metadata (HCAT properties)
with reclaim, the generate only express statistics and "limit 100" on the select is a little risky if you do not pay attention.
Saved views cannot be retrieved with the same [syntax] you wrote them, but they become really hard to read

Most Important Features

Be able to save and create a lot of different queries in different tabs. Everything is well organized
the simplified queries proposed by Aginity are very useful
possibily to keep many connection open

Return on Investment

The tool helped us to implement all Supply Chain and Retail data into the DWH
The tool allowed us to control ETL and reporting access, monitor them, and prioritize user's access
If you do not use the tool in the correct way, the risk is to delete some business information
