Home > Data Nodes > Create Table or View Node
The Create Table or View node is a type of node that enables you to save the results in a table in the schema to which you are connected. For example, use a Create Table or View node to save the results of an Apply node to a table.
The Create Table node automatically uses compression when possible.
The Create Table node can run in parallel.
The benefits of Create Table or View node are:
Data Persistence: A Create Table or View node saves the data that flow into the node as a view or table in the database. If you create a table, then the actual data persists. If you create a view, then the SQL definition (full lineage) persists. Output from this node is the data provided by the view or table.
Performance Improvement: If you perform one or more complex transformations, such as Joins and Aggregations, and save the result of the transformations as a table, then the subsequent operations are faster. For example, you can perform an Aggregation and a Join, create a table that contains the results of the transformation, and then use the table as input for building the model. Therefore, you will create a table from the Join node. The Classification models are built against this table.
