Specifying Properties for a Query

On the Properties panel, you can specify the following properties:
Name
specifies the name for the query.
Location
specifies the metadata folder location for the query object.
Description
specifies a description of the query.
Unique values
specifies whether the SQL keyword DISTINCT is applied to the select statement that is used to generate the result set for the query.
Append data
specifies whether the result set for the query is appended to the output table. If a staging table is used, then the staging table is replaced with the result set before appending to the output table.
Manual code
specifies that the query uses the SQL that is written by the user on the Code view when the check box is selected. For more information, see Editing Code.
Input library
specifies the library that is used for selecting source tables. A query can use tables from a single input library only. For more information, see Best Practices for Input Libraries.
Table
specifies the table name for either the staging output or the final output.
Library
specifies the library to use for the staging table or the output table.
Location
specifies the metadata folder location to use for registering the staging or output table metadata.
Partition by
specifies the column to use for partitioning the output table. This property applies when the output table is in a SAS LASR Analytic Server library or SAS Data in HDFS library only. For more information, see Partitioning Tables.
