#Contest

Hi contestants!

We've introduced a set of bonuses for the projects for the Datasets Contest!

Here are the projects that scored it:

Hi everyone,

I want to talk about our project and use the dataset theme for this contest.

Our intention never was to be a data curator, especially because sometimes my precious data means a lot for me, but not for the rest of the world.

We want to go a step further and empower the user to find the perfect dataset for their needs.

Our project is a bridge between the data science community and the developer's community using InterSystems IRIS to achieve this mission.

Hey Developers,

With the release of InterSystems IRIS 2021.2 Preview and all-new LOAD DATA functionality, we'd like to put it to the test with the new DATASETS contest! 

🏆 InterSystems Datasets Contest 🏆

Duration: December 27 - January 16, 2022

In prizes: $9,450

Hi all,
I try to build a little project for the dataset contest, you can find it here on github: Openflights dataset
My plan is to use just plain SQL. So I've made a few experiments with the new feature LOAD DATA.

Unfortunately all loads produce errors like:  
 Error: [SQLCODE: <-400>:<Fatal error occurred>]
[Error: <<UNDEFINED>zExecute+83^%sqlcq.OPENFLIGHTS.cls4.1 *%qparsets>]
[Location: <ServerLoop>]

The statements I use looks like this:

This happend with the preview release "IRIS Version 2021.2.0.617". While this error occurs, most rows are written to the database, but some rows are missing.

Hi developers!

We launched the datasets contest.

And one of the important questions that need to be covered is dataset licensing.

There are two general cases:

a) a dataset you take from another place in public Internet or private network/person.

b) a dataset you create by yourself or own for any other reason.

We decided to follow the principles and considerations that data.world site introduces for datasets' licensing.

Hi contestants!

We've introduced a set of bonuses for the projects for the Interoperability Contest 2021!

I work as an Integration Engineer for United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). I work on a Health Connect production which processes many RecordMap files. I do not fully understand RecordMaps and I wanted to develop an application for the Interoperability contest where I could learn more about working with RecordMaps. I browsed InterSystems documentation for inspiration on how to start. I was happy to find CSV Record Wizard. I had created a CSV file for my Analytics contest entry. I wanted to use it to test the CSV Record Wizard. It was not obvious how to use it.

Hello!

Want to get 5000 points on GlobalMasters?

I'm launching a bug bounty for a bug with which I've been struggling for the last 4 years. Have tried to resolve it many times, but no  dice - can't track it down.

Here's the issue.

To claim this bounty you need to:

1. Create a pull request with the code to fix the issue outlined here.
2. In the pull request OR in the issue OR in the commit message describe what's the reason for this bug and how your change fixes it.

First come first serve. Bounty would be paid only ONCE for a first working solution.

Challenge details are here.

I really love documentaries! Last weekend I was watching a Netflix documentary called This is Pop, because it was Analytics Contest time and I thought: Why not creating a pop song analytics with InterSystems Iris?

The first challenge was the database. I found on Data World project a CSV file with the Billboard hot 100 songs from 2000 to 2018, created by "Michael Tauberg" @typhon, that fits perfectly.

I was talking to @Henrique Dias and he gave me the idea of using Microsoft Power BI for good looking report with charts.

Which genres were most popular between 2000 and 2018?
