According to their original definition, created by Bill Inmon, Data Warehousing systems are Read-Only. They were designed to have incremental and periodic load processes associated with them. These processes are supposed to update a massive amount of information, pre-calculating indexes and aggregations, adjusting attribute domains, and uniting information from the most diverse sources.
Even though this architecture is ideal, in the real world of business, change is much more frequent than any load process that can be designed. For companies everywhere, even immutable repositories of analytical data should have enough room and flexibility to allow the necessary changes without the need for intervention from the IT department.
The eXtreme Scripting product is Stone Age Tech’s answer to this need. With it, database administrators can give end-users permission to alter some of the fields inside the database, creating work variables that can be altered through powerful scripts or simpler logical-mathematical expressions.
Using these variables, analysts can test models and segmentation rules over real data, saving the results into variables that can be later queried, or even reused as input for a new model. Our clients find total freedom from load processes and from IT departments, being able to use their data much more effectively and without adding request to usually overloaded IT departments.
