Toad Data Point 6.1.2 - Release Notes

Datasets

A dataset in Toad Intelligence Central (TIC) is a table. A dataset is created by publishing data to TIC from a remote source (see Publish to Toad Intelligence Central). Once published, a dataset is no longer associated with the data source. Any changes to the source data are not reflected in the dataset.

The purpose of a dataset is to allow users to create user-owned tables for storing static data. You can, however, share datasets with other TIC users.

Data from the following sources is always published as a dataset: an Excel file, a Local Storage database, or an Access database. Publishing from Excel or Local Storage

Note: This feature is available in the Toad Data Point Professional edition only and requires access to a Toad Intelligence Central server.

Using Datasets

To query a dataset

Use the following naming format when querying a dataset. (The data in a dataset is in a hidden table that uses this format.)

data_<username>.<datasetname>

Example: data_susanb.MyFavDataset

Tip: To easily query a dataset, build a query in the Query Builder. The dataset table name will be included in the SQL.

Dataset Indexes

See Create/Drop Index for a TIC Object for information about dataset indexes.
