A human brain retains more information through patterns and visuals as compared to reading or studying numbered files. In the business world, visualization is imperative in understanding the significance of data. Let us understand with an example.
Metabase连接mysql5.6.16-log版本数据库报错：Unknown system variable ‘sessiontrackschema’ 情况一：Metabase启动数据库为mysql5.6.16.
- When Metabase first connects to your database, it takes a look at the metadata of the columns in your tables and automatically assigns them a type. Metabase also takes a sample of each table to look for URLs, JSON, encoded strings, etc. You can manually edit table and column metadata in Metabase at any time from the Data Model tab in the Admin Panel.
- I use Metabase for data visualization. Druid (imply-2.2.3) is data storage. Created Metabase Questions I put on the dashboard and filter them all by Date Range.
- Docker build -t metabase/druid:0.17.0. The build logic ingests the data in rows.jsonby executing the ingestion spec task task.json. This is done in the script ingest.sh; tweak as needed. Why ingest data as part of the build process?
An e-commerce company receives thousands of orders per day. For studying the weekly performance, a graphical plot showing the number of orders per day will result in faster interpretation than a spreadsheet comprising the order details.
Hence, visual data representation is a powerful technique. It helps companies in analyzing trends and gaining valuable insights which further helps in decision making.
Open source data visualization tools like Redash, Metabase, and Apache Superset are gaining popularity as the learning curve isn’t steep for non-technical users. A large number of startups are using Metabase, Redash, and Superset to query, collaborate and visualize.
This blog talks about the Metabase vs. Redash vs. Superset over a few parameters.
1. Data Sources:
The widely used data warehouses- Amazon Redshift and Google BigQuery and databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL are supported by all the three visualization tools. Snowflake is supported by Metabase and Redash. Cassandra is supported only by Redash. Below is a list of data backends supported by Metabase, Redash, and Superset.
2. Extension Platform:
It is simple to extend open source BI tools if required. Metabase apparatus is developed on Clojure whereas Redash and Superset are based on Python. This helps you to decide which tool is favourable if your company uses the same platform – Python or Clojure.
3. Authentication Support:
Superset provides richer options in terms of authentication. While Metabase and Redash have support for Google OAuth and SSO only, with Superset you can also integrate your in-house authentication backends or LDAP.
4. Access Control and Permissions:
While using Metabase, Redash, and Superset at an organizational level it is important to understand the access controls. One can restrict access to databases, queries, and dashboards as per the requirements.
Metabase and Redash follow a group-based approach to provide access control and set permissions. One can be a member of multiple groups. The level of access to databases and SQL is determined by group membership.

For instance, when you are a part of a group, you have access to all the databases in the group. Your permissions are tabulated as per the level of access, groups, databases, etc. in the permissions’ section of the admin panel.
Superset has different levels of access control: Admin, Alpha, Gamma, and Public.
