I know this is a total newby question, but when I review the BI tools to access the data files, they all seem to require Amazon Redshift Credentials, which are only available in the paid version of Canvas Data. Some of us (most of us) need information about tools we can use for the free daily dumps. Canvas Data guides that explain how to use these tools would also be nice.

Also, about the .gz zip files - it would be particularly groovy to tell us what free utility will open these puppies!

So far I'm digging around it Canvas Data.

7-Zip is what I always use - Be sure to download the 64 bit version if you have 64 bit operating system.

After it's unzipped I open it up in Excel. It's raw data and I wish it included headers.

In the Canvas Data docs https://portal.inshosteddata.com/docs it describes the data files.

I would like to see some real examples with setting up Relationships using Canvas Data in Excel. Turning raw data into something useful.
