I’ve not written about the SSIS components for a bit, but I have been working on them – adding things, improving things. One area that was always very basic was the Connection interface. Or lack thereof – indeed the interface was basically just the properties pane of Visual Studio – mmmm Functional. Now though, you…
Another day, another ETL tool, this time Apache NiFi which is described as: An easy to use, powerful, and reliable system to process and distribute data. I’ve used SSIS and Kettle in the past, so I figured I’d be able to get this bad boy running easy enough – I mean – it’s ‘easy to…
Version 4.0 of Neo4j is being actively worked on, and aside from the new things in the database itself, the drivers get an update as well – and one of the big updates is the addition of a Reactive way to develop against the DB. Now – I’ve not done reactive programming for a long…
Last week, Anabranch released version 1.1 of the tools for Neo4j – which included a very welcome addition to the toolset – being able to pull data from a Neo4j instance. After doing the demo post – I noticed a peculiarity – a quirk if you will with how the ‘Execute Cypher Task’ (see here)…
That’s right everyone! We’re going from Neo4j this time, and this is a new release, the old version (1.0.0.0) didn’t have a ‘Neo4j as a Source’ component, 1.1.0.0 does. In the last post we took data from a file and ingested it into Neo4j, so far so good – but one of the things we…
Last Friday, Anabranch released the first beta version of it’s connector to Neo4j from SSIS. Aside from a post saying that it existed, I didn’t go into detail, so this is going to be a series of posts on how you can use your existing SSIS infrastructure with Neo4j. Today we’re going to look at…
After I’d written it – I realised my last post was perhaps not the most useful for those who really don’t care about the how but want to know what to do to use it. So this will follow the same deal as with the last post (over a year and a half ago!! WOW!).…
TL;DR; Repo is at: https://github.com/cskardon/Neo4jDataConnectorForPowerBiRelease at: https://github.com/cskardon/Neo4jDataConnectorForPowerBi/releases Looky! Pie Charts! This glorious picture represents the very pinnacle of my PowerBI experience, beforehand I was pulling the data into Excel and charting myself – no longer! Jokes aside, the big news here is that I’ve dramatically improved upon my previous post where I showed how you could…
Neo4j.Version 3.3.4 APOC Version 3.3.0.2 If you haven’t already, please have a look at the intro post to this series, it’ll cover stuff which I’m not going to go into on this. OK, ‘apoc.coll’ has 43 (that’s right – 43) functions and procedures, but I’m only going to cover the ‘sort’ ones for this post – why?…
Recently, I’ve had a couple of people ask me how to use Neo4j with Azure functions, and well – I’d not done it myself, but now I have – let’s get it done! Login to your Azure Portal Create a new Resource, and search for ‘function app’: Select ‘Function App’ from the Market Place: Press…
