Nexus User Guide

The Best Query Tool Works on all Systems
When you possess a tool like Nexus, you have access to every system in your enterprise! The Nexus Query
Chameleon is the only tool that works on all systems. Its Super Join Builder allows for the ERwin Logical Model
to be loaded, and then Nexus shows tables and views visually. It then guides users to show what joins to what. As
users choose the tables and columns they want in their report, Nexus builds the SQL for them with each click of the
mouse. Nexus was designed for Teradata and Hadoop, but works on all platforms. Nexus even converts table
structures between vendors, so querying and managing multi-vendor platforms is transparent. Even if you only
work with one system, you will find that the Nexus is the best query tool you have ever used. If you work with
multiple systems, you will be even more amazed. Download a free trial at www.CoffingDW.com.

The Tera-Tom Genius Series
The Tera-Tom Genius Series consists of ten books. Each book is designed for a specific audience, and Teradata is
explained to the level best suited for that audience. The books take a building block approach; always starting out
simple, then each page builds upon the previous point. Order them all at www.CoffingDW.com.
Tera-Tom- Author of over 50 Books
Tera-Tom books have been the primary source of Teradata learning for over 20 years. They have helped to teach
millions of people all aspects of Teradata. What people love the most about the Tera-Tom books is how easy they
are to understand. They are so easy that a seven-year-old boy (raised by wolves) can understand them!

Nexus works on all platforms, including Hadoop, converts table structures between all systems, and allows companies to load their
ERwin logical model inside Nexus. The Nexus guides users like a GPS system. Users point and click on any table or view from any
system, and they are guided to what joins to what. As users choose the columns they want on their report, the SQL is built
automatically.
In High School, Tom was the first athlete from his school to ever place at state. He was selected by his school to represent them at
Buckeye Boys State, and Tom was inducted into the first class of the Lakota High School Hall of Fame.
At the University of Arizona and University of Nevada Las Vegas, Tom was a two-time All-American wrestler, Sophomore Athlete of
the year, and a two-time winner of the 1980 Olympic wrestling trials. Tom graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Speech
Communications.

Nexus is designed to work with every system in your enterprise, on-premises systems and cloud systems. Nexus
works with traditional systems, such as DB2, Oracle, SQL Server and Teradata. Nexus also works with newer
systems, such as Netezza, Greenplum, Kognitio, Hana, Matrix, Aster Data and Vertica. Nexus also works with
your top cloud systems, such as Amazon Redshift, Microsoft Azure SQL Data Warehouse and all flavors of
Hadoop.

you can export Nexus result sets directly to Tableau. Just right click on an answer set result tab and choose
“Export/Save As”. Then change the “Save as Type” to Tableau Data Extract (TDE). A TDE file will be created
with the name you give it.

Did you ever even imagine that you would be able to join tables from different systems? Above, we are joining a
Teradata table to an Oracle table to a SQL Server table. Just checkmark the columns you want on your report and
Nexus handles everything behind the scenes. Nexus builds the SQL, converts the table structures and moves the
tables to the Hub system. The report comes flying back with no intervention from the user. That is just another
amazing feature of Nexus.

People who see this next feature can't believe their eyes. Nexus allows the user to select which system they want to
process the data. In our last example, the Hub was Teradata. We just changed the Hub to SQL Server (above).
Now, the tables from the three systems will be converted, moved and joined on the SQL Server system. Nexus
allows you to join tables from any system in your enterprise (both on-premises and cloud), but then tops it off by
allowing you to process the joins on any system in your enterprise. Need extra processing power? Spin up a server
on the cloud and make it the hub.

Save Answer Sets as Tables on any System
Nexus Chameleon


Nexus allows you to run a join or any query in the Super Join Builder and save the answer set as a table on any
system in your enterprise (on-premises or cloud). This is a fantastic way to create a data mart or to save data to
your sandbox. It is also great for building a test system. And Nexus makes it so easy. Just click on the "Create
Table" button and tell Nexus the system and the table name you desire, and that new table and its data will be there
when the query is finished.

Queries can be Saved to and Loaded from a Menu
Nexus Chameleon


Nexus allows you to run a join or any query in the Super Join Builder and then save the query in the “Save Join”
menu. The user can then pull up the exact same query in the Super Join Builder with the “Load Join” menu. A
user can also create many different Super Join Builder queries and pass them to other Nexus users in their
enterprise. This allows for the experienced individuals to take care of the less experienced.

Nexus allows you to run a join or any query in the Super Join Builder and Import an Excel Spreadsheet(s) that can
be joined with production tables. Users can also import Excel Spreadsheets directly to any system as a table. With
the ability to load an Excel Spreadsheet or to join an Excel Spreadsheet with other tables in the Super Join Builder
the Nexus is going to Excel with business users! In the example above we are joining a Teradata table, Oracle table
and an Excel Spreadsheet.

Do you know how long it normally takes to convert the table structures and move data between systems?
Sometimes this is a month long project, but not with Nexus. Just right click on any database in your systems tree
and choose "Move Data". Pick the target system in which you want the tables and data to move and then
checkmark the tables you want to move. Press the blue arrow and the tables with a checkmark move to the Target
system. Press Execute and watch the tables light up in green with every successful move. If there is a problem, the
table(s) will light up in red.

Nexus makes the Servers Talk Directly
SQL Server
Teradata Hadoop
Oracle Redshift
Whenever Nexus converts and moves data from one system to another the data never lands in a landing zone.
When Nexus performs cross-system joins between systems the data moves directly from server to server. Whether
you install Nexus on your desktop, laptop, Citrix server or access Nexus via a remote desktop on the cloud, there is
no data passing through the Nexus. All data movement, conversions and cross-system joins are done directly
between the big systems. Nexus uses Progress Data Direct drivers to establish a connection between systems and
this allows the big systems to talk directly. This is the secret sauce that allows Nexus to move billions of rows from
one system to another!

Nexus can query all of systems in your enterprise and each answer set is automatically present in the Garden of
Analysis. This is a unique concept because any and all answer sets can be re-queried by Nexus inside your
desktop. Above, we have four answer sets. We right clicked on answer set 4 (Result 4 – in red). Now, we can
click on any tab above and get Aggregates, OLAP, Rank, Grouping Sets, Quantiles, Top, Sort, Join, Charts/Graphs,

Just right click on any Teradata database and choose "Hound Dog Compression". Pick the tables you want
compressed and move them over by hitting the blue arrow. Hit Execute. Nexus evaluates Teradata tables and
applies the perfect algorithm to attain the maximum compression savings. This feature alone has saved hundreds
of companies millions of dollars over the past 10 years. Nexus usually gains about 35% space savings on average.
There are even more savings on larger tables. There is no down side to Multi-Value compression because the
tables are about 35% smaller, they don't need to be decompressed, they move faster into memory and they save
about 35% of your entire system's space. Nexus auto-compresses tables when they move from other systems, for
example when Oracle or SQL Server tables are moved to Teradata.

answer sets have been saved. In the Garden of Analysis, you can get a abundant of additional analytics, reports,
graphs, charts, dashboards and you can also join answer sets together. The brilliance is that all additional analysis
is done by Nexus inside your PC.

Nexus can query all of systems in your enterprise and each answer set is automatically present in the Garden of
Analysis. This is a unique concept because any and all answer sets can be re-queried by Nexus inside your
desktop. Above, we have four answer sets. You must set the result set you want to work with as the "Active
Result Set". Turn the page and see how to do just that.

Before the Garden of Analysis will work you must right click on any result tab and click "Set as Active Result
Set". Above, we right clicked on the Result 4 tab and made it the "Active Result Set". Now, whenever the tabs at
the top are selected, such as Aggregate, OLAP, Rank, Grouping Sets etc., it will know what result set and the
columns to put in the drop down menus to get the new reports. We will run an example of the Aggregate tab next.

The Garden of Analysis allows you to get additional reports, analytics, charts, graphs and also has the ability to sort
or join answer sets. Above, we see that we have a new report on Aggregates. All calculations in the Garden of
Analysis are done inside Nexus. There is no network movement or work done on the data warehouse. This is as
efficient as it gets!

Not all results could fit on the screen. You actually get three different reports (one for Rank, Dense Rank and
Percent Rank). The difference between a Rank and Dense Rank is how they handle ties. The Percent Rank will
rank the rows in a percentage. For example, in row 3 (0.333) means only 33% of the rows did better than that row
for Product_ID 1000. We partitioned by Product_ID so all three ranks start over on Product_ID breaks.

We instantly received three more answer sets (in yellow and pink) for Grouping Sets, Group by Cube and Group
by Rollup. What is truly intelligent is that we re-queried Result 4 to get the three new reports and did so inside
Nexus. The data warehouse was not re-queried, but instead the Nexus used the processor and memory inside the
PC to calculate the analytics. All answer sets are saved to the Garden of Analysis so users can get additional
reports by merely clicking on the appropriate tab and selecting the columns they want in the varying templates.
Why not have your own data warehouse inside Nexus?

Since we did the optional Partition By on Product_ID and also changed the Quantile Groups to 3 (Tertiles) we see
all of the Product_ID Daily_Sales together with either a 0, 1 or 2 quantile. We performed the Group By on
Daily_Sales (DESC) so our top selling Daily_Sales got the 0, followed by the 1 and the 2 for the Daily_Sales that
were less. Then, we start over on the Product_ID change and the calculations begin again.

The Tabs of the Super Join Builder Philosophy – One Query
Nexus Chameleon
Query 1
The tabs above work as a team on a single query. Each tab is

designed for a different purpose. The next series of slides will
explain how to use each tab effectively, in order to build a single
query quickly and efficiently. Each time you change something in a
tab, the SQL being built is changed to build the query as you desire.
The Super Join Builder is one of the most intricate pieces of commercial software ever built. Each tab above
performs a different function so that you can quickly build the most efficient query possible.

The Tabs of the Super Join Builder – Objects Tab

Query 1
The Objects tab shows your objects (tables and views)
and provides a menu of what other objects are joinable.
+ Add Join Add Join

Create cube w/ columns Customer_Number Integer Order_Number Integer
The Objects tab is the first screen you will always see when you right click on a table and choose "Super Join
Builder". It shows the table you right clicked on in your systems tree (visually). You can then select from the Add
Join drop down to see a menu of what other objects can be joined. If you click on an object in the Add Join drop
down it will be joined. You can also click the Cube drop down menu to automatically select all objects that are
joinable (instantly). Each time you checkmark a column in an object the SQL is automatically built and that
column will be on your report. Of course you can always check all columns in an object by putting a checkmark in
the Select * check box of an object. Above, we are joining the Customer_Table to the Order_Table and have put a
checkmark on the Customer_Name, Order_Date and Order_Total.

Customer_Name Order_Date Order_Total placed a checkmark in them from the objects tab. It also
shows you the columns you did not checkmark (at the
bottom). You can move the columns around, throw
them in the trash, bring up columns that were not
selected, and the SQL will change to reflect exactly what
Additional Columns you want your report columns to look like.
Customer_Number Phone_Number Order_Number Customer_Number
The columns tab allows you to rearrange columns on your report. You can drag and drop columns to change their
order. Notice that the columns are color coded to match the color of the table (in the objects tab) that they came
from. Columns at the top are the ones you selected. The columns at the bottom are the ones you did not select.
You can throw columns at the top in the trash can and they are no longer on your report, as they will reappear at
the bottom. You can even move columns from the bottom up to the top and they will then be on your report. You
can even hit Ctrl click on one column and then shift click on another and they will all highlight (so you can throw
them all in the trash). With each column change, the SQL is automatically adjusted to reflect the order of the
columns you want on the report.

The Sorting Tab allows you to double-click on any column that you want to use in the ORDER BY statement of
the SQL. This essentially sorts the report. The Report Columns shows the columns you selected to be on your
report. The Additional Columns shows the columns you did not select to be on your report. You can however
choose from any of these columns to be the sort key. Double click on a column, or click-and-drag it up, and it will
be a sort key. You can have multiple sort keys and you can always choose either ASC or DESC mode. Above, we
are going to sort the answer set by Order_Date in ascending mode. The Nexus will automatically place "ORDER
BY Order_Date ASC" in the SQL that is built automatically.

The WHERE tab shows you the indexes of the base tables, even if the objects are views. Knowing the indexes
helps users build queries that can perform at top speeds. Double click on any column and it will appear in the

The SQL tab shows you the SQL that Nexus has automatically generated. The SQL begins being built the first
time you checkmark a column in the objects tab, and changes with each change you request from any of the other
tabs. We originally requested Customer_Name, Order_Date and Order_Total in the Objects tab. We sorted by
Order_Date ASC in the Sorting Tab. We added a WHERE clause for Customer_Number 11111111 in the
WHERE tab. This has been reflected in the SQL above. Nexus always generates the SQL perfectly, no matter
what system you are using.

The Metadata tab will show you the size of your table, including row counts. This will be extremely important
when you begin performing cross-system joins. Nexus always thinks about performance tuning first because
Nexus has been used (in production) by many of the largest companies in the world. The Metadata tab will also

The Analytics tab will allow a user to quickly build the SQL needed for Ordered Analytics (OLAP), Rank, and
Grouping Sets. These analytics can also be done in the Garden of Analysis after an answer set returns, but on
extremely large data sets it can be advantageous to have analytics performed by the data warehouse. The Analytics
tab will build the SQL for the user so the user can submit that SQL to the data warehouse to receive an answer set.
Start by right clicking on a table in the system tree and choosing Super Join Builder from the right click menu.
Then, checkmark the columns you will want on your report, and then go to the Analytics tab.

You will default to the OLAP tab, but

you need to start the analytics process
by making sure you go to the correct
subtab of either:
• OLAP
• Rank
• Grouping Sets
The three tabs inside the Analytics tab are OLAP, Rank and Grouping Sets. You will automatically start in the
OLAP tab, but your first step is to determine is you want to perform OLAP, Rank or Grouping Sets. Make sure
you are in the right Analytics subtab to begin your analytics. We will begin with the OLAP tab example on the
next page.

You will drop and drag the columns below to the appropriate window, change the moving window parameter and
then check the OLAP functions you desire. You can select all of the OLAP functions by checking the Select *
checkbox, and you can select the With Partitioning OLAP functions as well. The With Partitioning will reset the
calculations on the Partitioning column.

In the example above, we dragged the Daily_Sales column to the OLAP box because that is the column we want to
perform the calculations on. We dragged the Product_ID column first to the sorting tab and then we dragged the
Sale_Date column there also. This means we will first sort the data by Product_ID, Sale_Date. We also checked
the CSUM OLAP function. We didn't touch the Partitioning or Moving Window information. The next page
shows the SQL tab and the SQL generated.

The SQL above was automatically generated by the previous OLAP screen and was done so the second we
checked the CSUM checkbox. The above query will OLAP the column Daily_Sales, but only after first sorting the
data by Product_ID, Sale_Date. The Rows Unbounded Preceding will generate a Cumulative Sum. Let's check

2000 2000-10-01 54850.29 525793.92
The Sales_Table was first sorted by Product_ID, Sale_Date. Then, the Cumulative Sum (CSUM) began. We
made 48850 for the first row so 48850.50 is our first CSUM value. Then, we made 54500.22 so 48850 + 54500.22
equals 103350.62. The values from each Daily_Sales entry was continually added.

When performing a cross-system join the tables must be moved and joined on one of the systems. We call the
system where the tables will be joined as the Hub. In this case, we have decided to move the Oracle table to
Teradata, temporarily for the life of the join. One of the steps is to define how the data will be moved from Oracle
to Teradata. You need to decide whether or not to use Lite Speed (TPT Stream – TPump) or to use Warp Speed
(TPT Load – FastLoad). You also need to list your Teradata TDPID and the working database where the Oracle
temporary table can be moved to and joined from. When everything is filled out, just hit the Next button (big blue
arrow) at the bottom of the screen.

First, notice the Oracle icon in the table's right hand corner. Second, notice the number behind the Subscribers
name (pink). In the above example, the name is Subscribers931827O. The table will be moved to Teradata
temporarily for the life of the join.
