Create Table or View Node

The Create Table or View node allows you to save the results in a table in the schema to which you are connected. For example, use a Create Table or View node to save the results of an Apply node to a table.

A Create Table or View node persists the data that flow into the node as a view or table in the database. If you create a table, the actual data is persisted; if you create a view, the SQL definition (full lineage) is persisted. Output from this node is the data provided by the view or table.

Creating a table can result in performance improvements. If you perform one or more complex transformations, such as joins and aggregations, saving the result of the transformations as a table results in faster subsequent operations. For example, you can perform an aggregation and an join, create a table that contains the results of the transformation, and then use the table as input for model build.

Therefore, you will create a table from the join node. The Classification models are built against this table.

The Create Table node automatically uses compression when possible. See Create Table and Compression for details.

Create Table can run in parallel; for details, see Parallel Processing.
