SAS Visual Data Builder
supports using tables and queries as input data for a query. When
you drop a table onto the workspace, SAS Visual Data Builder
connects to the SAS Metadata Server to determine the column names
and data types for the table. When you drop a subquery onto the workspace,
the data builder makes the same request, but determines the column
names and data types for the output table of the subquery.
Because SAS Visual Data Builder
uses metadata for source tables, you must register the table metadata
before you can access the data. Source tables can be registered in
metadata with SAS Visual Analytics Administrator or SAS Management
Console.
