There are many sites on the Internet where you can download data sets in CSV or Json format. Some of these data sets are small and can be easily loaded into a spreadsheet. Others have millions of rows and require SQL skills that many people don't have to load the data into a database and analyze it.
Using Didgets, someone with very limited DB skills can go download a data set from Kaggle for example; drop the file on the Didget Browser database window; and with just a few clicks of the mouse begin analyzing the data.
Since the system can process large data sets so fast, it is easy to drill down to subsets of the data or build pivot tables even when there are many millions of rows in the table. It has some built-in charting for those who like a visual representation to see patterns.
There are videos on the Didgets website that show how to do this.
- aristofun 4y agoAmazing, thank you. Now it sounds to me that I can use your software to quickly import big files somewhere. But then the new question arises — after I’ve imported, why should I stay there and not export data to Postgres that I’m familiar with (supposedly your db can export as fast as import)?
- didgetmaster 4y agoSince our system is still under development and is not yet ready to replace whatever mainstream DB you are using; this is precisely what most of our customers are using it for. It is a great tool for analyzing data quickly. You can export the data once you finish cleaning it, analyzing it, or narrowing it down to a subset. Again, we are trying to find traction in the market by getting people to try it and find value in the features that we currently have working.
- aristofun 4y agoGot you. Thanks and good luck with promoting.
