Abstract
A user selects a data source. The user also selects a first point in time and a second point in time. The visualization platform generates a query to perform a full outer join between (1) a first data set corresponding to the first point in time and (2) a second data set corresponding to the second point in time. The platform then executes the query to retrieve a result set. The platform classifies each record in the retrieved result set as new, present, or removed according to whether the respective record: (1) corresponds only to a record in the second data set; (2) corresponds to records in both the first data set and the second data set; or (3) corresponds only to a record in the first data set. Finally, the platform generates and displays a Sankey diagram or Waterfall chart according to the retrieved result set and the classifications.
