Configuring TEMP Table Space for a Data Service
Temporary tables come in handy for a variety of business integration tools. The temporary tables allow the tools to store filters for visualizations because of their simplicity. Temporary tables also create space to accommodate DDL capabilities that you might also configure for your data service. Specifically, the temporary tables can streamline the creation and removal of the table for use during a working session.
You can use Studio to configure a location where you would prefer to have temporary tables created for your data services.
You can create the temporary tables in Oracle, Netezza, SQL Server, Teradata, MySQL, and DB2. Support for creation of other TEMP tables depends on the physical data source where you want to create them.
For information on limitations, see About the TDV DDL Feature.
