Reviewing the in-memory sculpting tools
In Domo, there are several tools for executing data transforms in the Adrenaline cache. These transforms are very performant because they are executed in the cache. They are as follows:
- Data Views can be used to filter or aggregate dataset data in Adrenaline, just like a typical relational database view. They are also capable of performing some data transformations that may otherwise need to run a dataflow, such as changing data types, removing columns, changing column names, and adding calculations. The Data View's virtual dataset appears in the dataset catalog.
- Data Blends are basic dataset joins that are equivalent to an Excel
VLOOKUP
function that's executed in the Adrenaline in-memory cache. - Beast Modes are stored calculations on datasets that execute in Adrenaline when a visualization requests the data.
- Adrenaline DataFlows is an advanced performance tool that's used to run scripted sequential transformation...
