Later in December your knowledge of our Trino SQL query engine will certainly peak again at Trino Summit 2024. To reach those heights and absorb all there is to learn at Trino Summit, you need to get ready.
That is why I teamed up with our Trino creators and BDFLs – Martin Traverso, Dain Sundstrom, and David Phillips. We aim to be your coaches and trainers to get you ready and get to the summit without the need for oxygen masks and sherpas. Join us for the “SQL basecamps before Trino Summit”, where we expand on our past SQL training series with two new episodes.
Both planned sessions provide a high-level overview and some practical tips and tricks over the course of an hour. The sessions are completed by an open questions and answers section with the speakers.
Moving supplies #
In the first episode SQL basecamp 1 – Moving supplies David and Dain will help me provide an overview of the wide range of possibilities when it comes to moving data to Trino and moving data with Trino.
We specifically look at the strengths of Trino for running your data lakehouse and migrating to it from legacy data lakes or other systems. SQL skills discussed include tips for creating schemas and tables, adding and updating data, and inspecting metadata. We talk about table procedures for data management and also cover some operational aspects. For example, we talk about the right configuration in your catalogs for your object storage, specifically the new file system support in Trino.
Getting ready to summit #
The second episode SQL Basecamp 2 – Getting ready to summit builds on the foundation established in episode 1. Data has moved into the lakehouse, powered by Trino, and more data is added and changed as part of normal operation. In this episode Martin and myself look at maintaining the data in a healthy state and explore some tips and tricks for querying data. For example, we look at data management with procedures, analyzing data with window functions, and examine more complex structural data.
What do want to learn #
So there you have it - enough reason to register. Well, if not we can do better: Both sessions are aimed at all of you out there using Trino and we are ready to discuss your questions during class. More importantly though, I would also love to hear your suggestions for these and other topics about SQL and Trino. We can adjust this series, figure out a session for Trino Summit, or bring another SQL training series to you next year.
Trino Summit needs you! #
Now with all that in mind, what are you waiting for? Get ready to learn more about SQL with Trino in the series and at Trino Summit.
And of course, we are also interested in your speaker proposals and sponsorships for Trino Summit to make it an awesome event for everyone again.
See you soon,
Manfred
