Create Dataset with SQL

As needed, you can pre-filter a selected table or view inside the database prior to import. By entering a custom SQL statement, you can remove unnecessary data from the dataset that is extracted from the database, which enables faster and more meaningful imports of your database data. See Create Dataset with SQL.
