Pivot Tables<br />
The Group Statistics stage has been updated to perform pivot table calculations. A pivot table aggregates<br />
and transposes column values in the dataflow to make it easier analyze data visually. With pivot, you<br />
can arrange input columns into a cross tabulation (also known as crosstab) that produces rows, columns<br />
and summarized values.<br />
Oracle Data Type NVARCHAR2<br />
<strong>Spectrum</strong> Technology Platform now supports the Oracle data type NVARCHAR2.<br />
Performance Improvement for Write to DB<br />
You can now specify the number of records to commit in a batch when using the Batch commit option<br />
in Write to DB. In previous releases, the batch size was fixed at 100 records. By using the new Batch<br />
size option you can specify a batch size that optimizes the commit performance for your particular situation.<br />
For information about this new option, including the factors to consider when choosing a batch<br />
size, see the <strong>Spectrum</strong> Technology Platform User's Guide.<br />
Note: The Batch size option can improve the performance of writing data to a database. However,<br />
many factors can affect the overall performance of your dataflow. For information on obtaining<br />
the best performance from your dataflows, see the <strong>Spectrum</strong> Technology Platform Performance<br />
Tuning Guide.<br />
Create Table in Write to DB<br />
You can now create a table in the target databases from within Write to DB.<br />
Visual Query Builder in Read from DB<br />
Read from DB now provides a visual query builder, which allows you to create complex queries without<br />
having to write SQL. You can build queries with different join types, build queries with sorting, grouping<br />
and complex criteria, and build queries with different server-specific options.<br />
Read From DB Limit Increase<br />
The Read From DB stage now supports viewing more than 2,000 tables.<br />
