Anyone used Metabase before? Looks interesting.

Never played with it. What are you thinking of using it for?

From the description, I know someone at work that would probably get a lot of use out of it. Business intelligence stuff.

@RojoLoco will get a good giggle out of this: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/03/16/irish_chap_trapped/
Probably @MattSpeller too

I couldn't bring myself to click any of the links in that... and WOW. I'm all for whatever floats your boat, but I don't necessarily understand all of it. Glad he came out unharmed. There's a lesson in there somewhere...

Ya I've got it running. Looks pretty cool. I don't have any databases with stuff I want to check but they give you a test one. I'll spin it up for him and see what he thinks.

Ha, would be interesting. They have a fancy graph of the US on the front page of the website but I can't find it. I need to play with it some more.

I wonder what kind of insights could be pulled out of the system.

I'm guessing a lot. But it might be a lot of chicken and egg stuff. You might need to know what you're looking for before you start.

Yeah, I didn't click on the links, not what I need to see but I thought you might get a giggle out of the idiocy of the chap in question.

Sounds like the ATO has an IPOD: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/03/16/australian_taxation_office_san_outage_and_upgrade/

All their reports keep referring to "the SAN"
