What’s going on with our releases?
Other announcements:
Trevor has been developing software for over 20 years and has deep knowledge of ODBC and JDBC drivers for databases. He tells us more about his experience and how he came to learn about Trino.
We untangle the long history of Simba, Logi Symphony, and insigtsoftware with the Trino project to the current status, before we dive into the technical details.
After talking a bit about Trino, Iceberg, data lakes and related topics, we get into the details about Simba Trino data connectivity with the ODBC and JDBC drivers.
Trevor shows us how you can use the ODBC driver to query Trino catalogs from Microsoft Excel, which arguably the most widely used reporting and analytics tool, despite really being a spreadsheet application. After that demo he moves on to some business intelligence analytics with PowerBI.
We give a quick update on where to see Cole or Manfred next, and talk about upcoming Trino events:
