About the Table Editor

The Table Editor allows you to define the properties of physical schema entity objects. The physical schema entity objects include the following:

• Physical schema table
• Materialized view
• Alias
• Incorta Analyzer table
• Incorta SQL table

You need to have the suitable permissions and access rights to access the Table Editor and edit the physical schema entity objects. You can also access the Table Editor to view the entity object details.

Table Editor permissions and access rights

A user that belongs to a group with the Schema Manager or the SuperRole role can access the Table Editor for a given entity object in a physical schema that this user owns or has View access rights to. A SuperUser that is a Tenant Administrator can also edit a physical schema and access the Table Editor. However, a user has to own or have Edit access rights to the physical schema to be able to use the Table Editor to edit its entity objects .

You can access the Table Editor for an entity object in a physical schema using the:

• Schema Designer
• Schema Diagram Viewer
• Load Job Viewer for the physical schema (not applicable for an alias)

Access the Table Editor using the Schema Designer

There are multiple options or paths that you have to access the Table Editor for a given object using the Schema Designer for a physical schema that you own or have access rights to:

• If there are no existing entity objects in the physical schema in the Schema Designer, in the Start adding tables to your schema section, select the type of either the entity object or the data source for the new object, except for the Schema Wizard. Use the Data Source dialog to define the data source properties, and then select Add.
• In the Action bar, select + New → Table, and then select the type of the data source you want for the new physical schema table.
• In the Action bar, select + New → Alias.
• In the Action bar, select + New → Derived Table → Incorta Analyzer.
• In the Action bar, select + New → Derived Table → Incorta SQL.
• In the Action bar, select + New → Derived Table → Materialized View.
• For a given entity object in the Tables section, in the Action menu (v arrow), select Table Details.
• In the Tables section, select a given entity object.

Access the Table Editor using the Schema Diagram Viewer

You can access the Table Editor for a given entity object in a physical schema that you own or have access rights to by using the Schema Diagram Viewer of:

• the same physical schema
• another physical schema that this object has a join relationship with one of its entity objects

To access the Table Editor using the Schema Diagram Viewer, select an entity object in the diagram. In the entity object details drawer, select the square with arrow icon next to the object name.

Access the Table Editor using the Load Job Viewer

You can access the Table Editor for a given entity object in a physical schema that you own or have access rights to by using the Load Job Viewer of the physical schema.

Here are the steps to access the Table Editor using the [Load Job Viewer]:

• In the Jobs list view, if required, select a load job.
• In the Load Job Details list view, in the Name column, select the name link of an entity object.

Table Editor anatomy

The Table Editor consists of the following:

• Action bar
• Table Summary section
• Columns section
• Formula Columns section
• Runtime Security Filters section
• Parent Joins section
• Child Joins section
• Load Filter section

Action bar

The Action bar shows the following, as applicable:

• +New: select to open the Add New menu. The Add New menu options are:

  • Formula Column: select to create a new formula column.
  • Security Filter: select to add a new runtime security filter
  • Join (as parent): select to add a new join relationship for the entity object as a parent
  • Join (as child): select to add a new join relationship for the entity object as a child
• Done: available when you make changes to the physical schema object, whether to add, edit, or remove an item. Select to save the changes you made and exit the Table Editor.
• Cancel: select to cancel the changes you made and exit the Table Editor.

Table Summary section

The Table Summary section contains the following:

• Name: The name of the entity object. You cannot change this name once saved.
• Manage Output: This option is available only for a physical schema table with multiple sources. Select to manage mapping between the columns in the different datasets and to select the data type for each output column in the multi-source table.
• Performance Optimized: This option is enabled by default. The Analytics Service will load the DDM files of performance-optimized objects into the Analytics Service in-memory Direct Data Map engine. Toggle this option off to load the object data into Shared Storage only.
• Disable Full Load: This option is available only for objects enabled for incremental load. When this toggle is ON, and in the case of a full load on the physical schema or table, the Loader Service will run the load in incremental mode. This will prevent accidental deletion of data from a snapshot table, where the data in Incorta is more granular than the source data.

• Data Source(s): This section shows the data source(s) of the physical schema entity object, if any, and in the case of an alias, this section shows the source physical schema and object.

  • There can be one or more data sources depending upon the physical schema entity type.
  • Only a physical schema table can be single-source or multi-source depending upon the connector you use for the data source. The name of the external data file or source appears under the data source icon.
  • Besides physical schema tables, all physical schema entity objects cannot be multi-source. An alias, Incorta Analyzer table, Incorta SQL table, and materialized view must have one and only one data source; they are single-source objects.
  • An alias does not actually have an external data source. It rather references another entity object in the same physical schema or another physical schema.
  • In the case of a physical schema table, the Data Source(s) section shows the add data source option (addition icon in a dashed square) to define a multi-source table.
  • If there are no data sources or you delete the data source, the Data Source(s) section shows the add data source option (addition icon in a dashed square).
  • As applicable, select a data source to access the Data Source dialog to view or edit the data source properties, or to delete the data source.
  • In the case of an Incorta Analyzer table, you can view a sample of the object data in the Data Source dialog.

  • The icon of the data source properties varies according to the physical schema entity objects.

    • In the case of a physical schema table, the data source properties icon represents the type of the dataset whether Files, SQL, XML, Salesforce, …etc.

    • In the case of other physical schema entity objects, the data source icon represents the type of the physical schema entity:

      • Incorta for an Incorta Analyzer table or Incorta SQL table
      • Materialized for a materialized view
      • Alias for an alias

Columns section

The Columns section shows the following:

• The number of data-backed columns in the physical schema entity object
• Preview data: select to preview sample data of the entity object. Available only in the case of a loaded physical schema table or materialized view.
• Search box: use to search for object columns.
• Columns in the physical schema entity object. For a loaded object, you can preview samples of the column data.
• Column properties: determine how the Loader Service extracts and stores data as well as how the Analytics Service loads data. Some properties determine how Incorta stores the column data; other properties influence the column’s representation and default behavior in tools such as the Analyzer and Formula Builder.

The Table Editor shows the properties of a column as follows:

Property	Control	Description
Show in Analyzer	checkbox	Specifies whether or not to show the column as a selectable column in the Data Panel in the Analyzer
Name	read only	The name of the column; used in the column fully qualified name. You cannot change the name of a column in the Table Editor; however, for a materialized view or an Incorta SQL table, you can edit the data source and use the Query Editor to add an alias name to the column using an AS clause for example.
Label	text box	The column’s user-friendly name
Type	drop down list	The Incorta Data Type of the column: date double integer long null string text timestamp
Function	drop down list	The Incorta Function of the column: key dimension measure You can specify the key function for a column in a physical schema table or a materialized view only.
Encrypt	drop down list	Specifies whether or not to encrypt the column data in Shared Storage. This property is available for all entity objects except for a materialized view. A column in an alias inherits this property from the original source column, and you cannot change it.
Source Encrypted	read-only	Available only in the case of a materialized view. Set this property to true if the source column is encrypted to allow the engine to read the encrypted value, otherwise the column will display the encrypted form of the data as a string.

To learn about a column in a physical schema table, review Concepts → Physical Schema Table Column

To learn about a column in a materialized view, review Concepts → Materialized View Column

To learn about a column in an Incorta Analyzer Table materialized view, review Concepts → Incorta Analyzer Table Column

Formula Columns section

The Formula Columns section is available only in the case of a physical schema table and a materialized view to create and manage formula columns for the physical schema object. An alias inherits formula columns from the original physical schema table or materialized view; you cannot manage them for the alias itself.

This Formula Columns section shows the following:

• The number of formula columns in the physical schema entity object, if any
• + Add Formula Column: available when there are no existing formula columns in this object
• The formula columns in the physical schema entity object, if any. For each formula column, the Formula Columns section shows the following:

Property	Control	Description
Show in Analyzer	checkbox	Specifies whether or not to show the formula column as a selectable column in the Data Panel in the Analyzer
Name	text box	The name of the formula column; used in the column fully qualified name
Label	text box	The user-friendly name of the formula column
Type	read only	The Incorta Data Type of the formula column that the formula output determined automatically: date double integer long null string text timestamp
Function	drop down list	The Incorta Function of the formula column: dimension measure
Column Formula	text box	The formula expression of the formula column, if any. Select the text box to launch the Formula Builder to add or edit the column formula expression.
X Remove Formula	link	Select to remove the formula column

Formula column type inference

Based on the output of the formula expression, the Table Editor will automatically infer the data type of a formula column. You can modify the formula expression to explicitly cast the data type of the return value. For example, you can use a built-in function, such as int(), to specify that the formula expression returns an integer value.

Runtime Security Filters section

A runtime security filter is a filter expression that the Analytics Service applies when a user accesses an in-memory physical schema table, materialized view, Incorta Analyzer Table, or Incorta SQL Table. As an alias only references another physical schema object, you cannot create security filters for it. There are two types of runtime security filter: Regular and Formula.

The Runtime Security Filters section shows the following:

• The number of runtime security filters specified for the physical schema entity object, if any
• If there are no security filters, the + Add Security Filter option is available to add the first security filter.
• All the runtime security filters specified for the physical schema entity object, whether regular filter or formula filter.
• For a formula security filter, the Runtime Security Filters section shows the filter expression for the security filter, if any. Select the text box to invoke the Formula Builder to create or edit the filter expression

• For a regular security filter, the Runtime Security Filters section shows the following:

  • Table: the physical schema entity object to use one of its data-backed or formula columns. This can be the entity object itself or another object in the same physical schema that has a join relationship as a Parent table with the current entity object as the Child table.
  • Column: the filterable column in the entity object you select for the Table. This can be a data-backed column or a formula column.

  • Operator: the operator in the filter expression. This can be one of the following:

    • <: less than
    • ≤: less than or equal to
    • =: equal to
    • ≠ or <>: not equal to
    • >: greater than
    • ≥: greater than or equal to
    • IN
  • Value: the value in the filter expression. This can be a filter expression session variable, internal session variable, external session variable, or a global variable.
• X Remove Filter: select to remove the runtime security filter

To learn more about runtime security filters, review Concepts → Runtime Security Filter.

Parent Joins section

The Parent Joins section shows all the join relationships, if any, where the current physical schema entity object is the Parent table; that is, the object on the right side of the join. With the suitable access rights and permissions, you can add, edit, and delete join relationships in the Parent Joins section if both the Parent and Child objects exist in the same physical schema. However, you cannot edit or remove parent joins with objects in another physical schema. You can access and manage them from the Table Editor of the Child object.

To learn more about joins, review Concepts → Join and Tools → Join Editor.

The Parent Joins section shows the following:

• The number of join relationships, if any, where this object is the Parent table in the join
• + Add Parent Join: available only if there are no existing parent joins for the entity object. Select to add a new join relationship.

• The conditions of each existing join relationship; join filters do not show in the Table Editor. Each join condition defines the following:

  • The physical schema, entity object, and column of the Child side in the join (the object on the left side)
  • Join operator
  • The physical schema, entity object, and column of the Parent side in the join (the object on the right side). Typically, this is the current physical schema object.

• Action menu: available only in the case that both the Parent and Child objects in the join relationship exist in the same physical schema. Options in the Action menu are the following:

  • Join Details: select to access the Join Editor to manage the join conditions and filters
  • Remove Join: select to delete the join relationship

Child Joins section

The Child Joins section shows all the join relationships, if any, where the current physical schema entity object is the Child table; that is, the object on the left side of the join. With the suitable access rights and permissions, you can add, edit, and delete join relationships in the Child Joins section whether both the Parent and Child objects exist in the same physical schema or in different physical schemas.

The Child Joins section shows the following:

• The number of join relationships, if any, where this object is the Child table in the join
• + Add Child Join: available only if there are no existing child joins for the entity object. Select to add a new join relationship.

• The conditions of each existing join relationship; join filters do not show in the Table Editor. Each join condition defines the following:

  • The physical schema, entity object, and column of the Child side in the join (the object on the left side). Typically, this is the current physical schema object.
  • Join operator
  • The physical schema, entity object, and column of the Parent side in the join (the object on the right side)

• Action menu: contains the following options:

  • Join Details: select to access the Join Editor to manage the join conditions and filters
  • Remove Join: select to delete the join relationship

Load Filter section

The Load Filter section is available only for a physical schema table or materialized view. This section shows the filter expression, if any, that the Loader Service applies when loading the object data to restrict the rows to retrieve from the object data source(s).

Select the Load Filter text box to invoke the Formula Builder to create, edit, or clear the load filter expression. To learn more about load filters, review Concepts → Load Filter.
