摘要： A user selects a dataset and a first interaction profile. There are multiple interaction profiles, each specifying a corresponding user interface and a corresponding decision tree for forming data visualizations according to user-selected data fields. A first data visualization user interface is displayed corresponding to the first interaction profile. Using the first data visualization user interface, the user selects data fields from the dataset and uses them to specify data visualization characteristics. The method displays a first data visualization according to the user-selected data fields and the decision tree for the first interaction profile. When the user selects a second interaction profile, the method displays a second data visualization according to the second interaction profile. The second data visualization uses at least some of the user-selected data fields. The second data visualization is displayed according to the specified data visualization characteristics and the decision tree for the second interaction profile.

摘要： A method compares text strings having Unicode encoding. The method receives a first string S=s1s2 . . . sn and a second string T=t1t2 . . . tm, where s1, s2, . . . , sn and t1, t2, . . . , tm are Unicode characters. The method computes a first string weight for the first string S according to a weight function ƒ. When S consists of ASCII characters, ƒ(S)=S. when S includes one or more non-replaceable non-ASCII characters, the first string weight ƒ(S) is a concatenation of an ASCII weight prefix ƒA(S) and a Unicode weight suffix ƒU(S). The method also computes a second string weight for the second text string T. Equality of the strings is tested using the string weights.

摘要： A method compares data sets in a data preparation application. The method displays a user interface including a data flow pane and a profile pane. The data flow pane displays a flow diagram with nodes, each node corresponding to a data set. When a user selects a first node, the method displays distributions of data values for data fields from a first data set for the first node. When a user selects a second node, the method: (1) forms a composite data set comprising a union of (i) the first data set and (ii) a second data set for the second node; (2) groups data values for each data field to form sets of bins; and (3) displays data value distributions for each data field using the bins. Each bin depicts counts of data values in the bin originating from the first data set and the second data set.

摘要： A method implements optimization of database queries by computing domain cardinality estimates. A client sends a database query to a server. The method parses the query to identify data columns. For each of the data columns, the method computes a lower bound and an upper bound of distinct data values using a pre-computed table size. The method also computes a patch factor by applying a pre-computed function to a ratio between a number of distinct data values that appear exactly once in a data sample and a number of distinct data values in the sample. Based on the patch factor, the lower bound, and the upper bound, the method computes an estimate of distinct values for each of the data columns. The method subsequently generates an execution plan for the query according to the computed estimates, executes the execution plan, and returns a result set to the client.

摘要： Embodiments are directed to managing a data model that includes data objects associated with layers of the data model may be provided. A lineage model that includes lineage objects that has one or more lineage objects associated with a layer may be provided. A lineage object associated with a layer may be activated. A first portion data objects may be determined based on the activated lineage object. An anchor object may be determined from the first portion of data objects. A search of the data model may be employed to provide dependency information based on a position of the anchor data object in the data model. A second portion of data objects may be determined based on the dependency information. A report that includes a list of the second portion of data objects, the dependency information, or the like, may be provided.

摘要： A method is performed at an electronic device. The process displays a line chart, which includes a first plurality of data marks and a first plurality of line segments connecting adjacent data marks. The process detects a touch input, and expands the line chart horizontally, including expanding a first line segment. The process adds a second plurality of data marks on the first line segment, thereby subdividing the first line segment into a second plurality of line segments, which are initially collinear. After expanding the chart and adding the second plurality of marks, the process determines an ordinate value for each of the second plurality of marks, and animatedly moves each of the second plurality of marks from the first line segment to a respective vertical location defined by the respective determined ordinate value. The process concurrently moves each of the second plurality of line segments according to its endpoints.

摘要： A computing device displays a graphical user interface on a display. The graphical user interface has a data visualization region that displays a primary data visualization, which includes a plurality of visual marks. The primary data visualization represents a first set of data fields of a plurality of data fields from a dataset. The device receives user input in the graphical user interface to select one of the visual marks. In response to the user input, the device generates a secondary data visualization, filtered according to one or more data values. The data values correspond to the first set of data fields and are associated with the selected visual mark. The secondary data visualization represents a second set of data fields from the dataset. The device then displays the generated secondary data visualization in a tooltip for the selected data mark, overlaying a portion of the primary data visualization.

摘要： A method is performed at an electronic device with a display. On the display, the method displays a chart, which includes visual marks that represent a set of data. The chart also includes a first line and/or first band based on data in the set of data that corresponds to the displayed visual marks. The method detects one or more inputs that select a plurality (but less than all) of the displayed visual marks in the chart. In response to detecting the one or more inputs, the method displays a second line and/or second band based on data in the set of data that corresponds to the selected plurality of the displayed visual marks and maintains display of the chart and the first line and/or first band in the chart.

摘要： A user interface that includes a data flow pane and a profile pane. The data flow pane displays a flow diagram that identifies a data source. For each of multiple queries against the data source, the process issues the query against the data source asynchronously with an initial block size. Upon retrieval of the initial set of rows, the process repeats the query asynchronously with an updated block size until all of the rows have been retrieved. Periodically the process determines a high water mark for rows from the data source that have been retrieved for all of the queries. When the water mark changes, the process updates the profile pane to display data value histograms for multiple data fields in the data source. Each bar in each data value histogram counts the rows below the water mark that have a single specific data value or range of data values.

摘要： An exemplary method includes displaying a user interface that includes multiple panes, and receiving a first user input to select an existing node from a flow diagram or a flow element template. The system displays a moveable icon representing a new node for placement in the flow diagram. The new node specifies an operation corresponding to the selected existing node or the selected flow element template. Drop targets are displayed in the flow diagram according to dependencies between the data flow operation of the new node and operations of existing nodes. A second user input places the moveable icon over a first drop target. In response to ceasing to detect the second user input, the system inserts the new node into the flow diagram at the first drop target. The new node performs the specified data flow operation.
