The Apatar Team announced the Sum function that enables adding multiple field values and creating total sum combinations. The new function allows Apatar users not only to find the sum of multiple field values automatically, but also to add up any given integer constant to a specified field value. Apatar users will find the new function particularly useful in generating reports, when a total of data from different fields needs to be found. See the user guide to learn more about the Sum function: http://www.apatarforge.org/wiki/display/FUN/Sum+Function.

The Apatar Team today announced connectivity to the Vertica Analytic Database, a high-performance, grid-based column-oriented database management system used for analytics and business intelligence. The new connector enables both developers and business users to migrate data between the Vertica Analytic Database and third-party applications without any custom coding and allows for this data to be filtered, validated, and cleansed. Now both Vertica users and administrators can de-duplicate data received from multiple sources, verify e-mail and postal addresses, check customer socio-economic parameters, and more.
