Chapter 9. Learning More About Greenplum
This book is but the first step in learning about Greenplum. There are many other sources available from which you can gather information.
Greenplum Sandbox
Pivotal produces a single-node virtual machine for learning and experimenting with Greenplum. Although it’s not for production purposes, it’s a full-featured version of Greenplum, but of a limited scale. There are only two segments, no standby master, and no segment mirroring. You can download it for free, and it comes with a set of exercises that demonstrate many of the principles described in this book. As of this writing, you can find the latest version at http://bit.ly/2qFSRb1.
