In the last blog of this SAQL series, we saw how powerful SAQL really can be by joining datasets together using the cogroup statement. But we are not stopping there, we can do more powerful stuff. Another way of joining different streams is with the union statement, so in this blog, we will uncover that ...
If you were at Dreamforce 2019 or followed along at home you may have heard about the new Einstein Analytics Data Catalog. If not read along, it’s nothing less than amazing! Earlier this year I and the rest of the London DataTribe had the pleasure of welcoming Skip Sauls who is the product manager at ...
