In data base Analytics

Teradata just announced a new version of their database that allows  organizations to compare current and historical data.  They hope to use this functionality to attract Small and Medium Enterprises which otherwise do not  have  access to a lot of analytics.

Two things that interest me here:


(a) Another instance of somebody using in-database analytics. I am personally not very sure about this. I definitely is useful but very soon  users will be asking for more advanced model driven features.

(b) Another player positioning itself for the  SME space.   A really useful  (and probably winning) solution in this space will  in my opinion  have black box, semi customizable  advanced modeling modules for different business decisions like targeting, cross sell, churn,  forecasting etc. Not sure if in -database is the answer here.
