我是 HP Vertica 的新手。我阅读了 HP Vertica 的安装文档。该文档完全基于 *ix 环境。所以，我的问题是我们也可以在 Windows 上安装 HP Vertica 吗？
另一件事，就我搜索的命令而言，这些命令与 Oracle SQL 命令相同。那么，我们是否也对 HP Vertica 使用相同的 SQL 命令？
我理解的关于集群、实例、节点、数据库的另一个概念是，
HOST: is a computer where the Vertica is installed.
INSTANCE: it is also a computer where the Vertica is in running state.
Node: it is the combination of HOST & INSTANCE.
CLUSTER: I am not clear about this. May be this is about the instances of Vertica running on different computers.
DATABASE: It is the actual installed database software where the data & catalog resides to which other nodes are connected (not sure abt this also).
请帮助我理解这些概念，如果有人知道的话。
