Query data #

Starburst Galaxy allows you to author queries using SQL, and process them on a cluster. Queries can access any data sources configured as a catalog. Queries can be submitted directly in the query editor or other client application.

The following characteristics apply:

• Query processing performance and memory usage is heavily impacted by the cluster size.
