Getting started with watsonx.data

With watsonx.data, you can store any type of data (structured, semi-structured, and unstructured) and make that data accessible directly for Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Business Intelligence (BI). You can also attach your data sources to watsonx.data, which helps to reduce data duplication and cost of storing data in multiple places.
