Saved Query Configuration
When you create a saved query, enter an SQL SELECT statement to select the source columns you want to use. Use an SQL statement that is valid for the source database.
Informatica Cloud uses the SQL statement to retrieve source column information. You can edit datatype, precision, or scale of each column before you save the saved query.
For example, you might create a saved query based on a TRANSACTIONS table that includes transactions from 2010 with the following SQL statement:
SELECT TRANSACTION_ID, TRANSACTION_TOTAL, TRANSACTION_TIMESTAMP from dbo.TRANSACTIONS WHERE TRANSACTION_TIMESTAMP>’0:0:0:0 01/01/2010’
Informatica Cloud ensures that saved query column names are unique. If an SQL statement returns a duplicate column name, Informatica Cloud adds a number to the duplicate column name as follows: <column_name><number>.
Tip: Test the SQL statement you want to use on the source database before you create a saved query.
