Thanks vbe! Yeah I've the db side covered and can use native tools on the db side (isql, sqlplus, etc to write tsql or pl/sql).
Just looking for thinking-outside-of-the-box when it comes to all these millions of records, analytics, patterns, unatructured text mining, etc
Seems python is a good oop to handle some of this. Finally got my book from the library re python and the day off to read it
SAS Unix handles most of what I need but I just want to make sure I'm not missing something in unix that I've never considered that might be as magic as sas and python. They seem like peas and carrots together!
Happy Friday all!
