A data query is your
primary method for selecting and formatting data that is used with
data exploration and creating reports.
A
data query is a metadata object that manages the references to input
tables, output tables, staging tables, joins, and summarizations from
a SAS Visual Data Builder session. You can save data queries
and open them later to edit the data preparation operations that are
performed in the data query. You can use saved data queries as subqueries
when you create a new data query.
