Thomas ist Software-Entwickler und -Architekt. Er löst gerne knifflige Aufgaben, in Hard- oder Software. Angefangen hat alles als Hobby mit Gaming, was auch heute noch ein Bestandteil seines Interesses an Computern ausmacht. Lehre und Studium haben seine Wahl zunehmend bestätigt.

Ihm gefällt bei Tegonal, dass Lösungen im Konsens erarbeitet und stets kritisch hinterfragt werden. Am liebsten schreibt er Code in Scala. Er ist gerne in der Natur mit der Kamera unterwegs und arbeitet ab und zu mit Holz.

Extension of the Open Source Metabase Adapter for Teradata by Swisscom

Erweiterung des Open Source Metabase Adapters für Teradata durch Swisscom

We were asked to extend the data analysis software Metabase for Swisscom with an adapter for Teradata.

Metabase is open source and written in Clojure. Clojure is a Lisp dialect and mainly a functional language. The language is very beautiful; it impresses with its coherence.

The biggest obstacle in implementing the adapter was and remains the proprietary database system Teradata. Testability outside the proprietary machine is difficult. For this reason, the review process together with Metabase is prevented and the associated pull request is still open.

The resulting Teradata driver may of course be used without warranty.
